An invisible wave of psychic pressure, so powerful it was suffocating, swept through the entire Central Control Room like a physical shock wave.
The space behind Giovanni warped slightly, and his strongest trump card, Mewtwo, silently appeared. Cold, inorganic light flickered in its purple eyes, and its immense psychic power locked onto Ye Li like invisible shackles.
"Did you do this?" Giovanni slowly turned around. His voice was calm, but beneath that calm lay terrifying killing intent, like an impending storm, enough to freeze the soul.
Inside the control room, everyone's gaze snapped toward Ye Li.
Ye Li's face instantly shifted into an expression of utter terror, as though he had suffered a monstrous injustice. His acting reached its pinnacle at that moment.
"Giovanni! What are you saying? I... how could I possibly betray you! Betray the organization!" His voice trembled slightly with "fear" and "indignation."
Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed to his console. His hands blurred across the keyboard as he pulled up the real-time communication logs and deployment maps of all the troops directly under his command.
"Look! The moment the attacks began, my troops were already heading to every location under attack to provide support on my orders! They're fighting bloody battles on the front lines right now, suffering heavy casualties!"
"Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty to you! If you don't believe me, I'm willing to go to the ground command post myself and command your troops against the enemy to prove my innocence!"
Ye Li's performance was seamless, his voice and expression brimming with feeling. Those detailed communication logs and troop deployment orders also seemed to provide the best proof of his innocence.
Giovanni watched him. The killing intent in his eyes diminished slightly, but his suspicions had not entirely disappeared.
