Sitting in his office, Ritter looked at Secretary of Defense Simpson, who was waiting for his reply with hope, and finally couldn't help but shake his head at the other party. He knew the consequences of agreeing to the other party's request, as long as he nodded slightly, it would reshape the power structure of this world, and it might even turn this world upside down. Now the decision is still in his own hands, but once he lets go, he can no longer control it. He hadn't figured out what this decision would ultimately lead to, so he didn't want to make a hasty decision in this situation.

"What exactly are your concerns? Ritter, afraid we're going to sweep the world with it? But we in the United States of America have been the strongest in the world since World War II for more than half a century. During this period, we had all sorts of weapons that were ahead of our time, but did we use them to create a global ambition to unify the world? Not really! We are a democracy, and all the American people are in charge, and even if you are president, you cannot go against the will of the people......"

"That's it! Henry, I know no less than you about what our political system is like, and what virtues our politicians are, so don't be verbose. That's not what I'm worried about. ”

"So what are you worried about? Are you worried about Major General Paul? I think Paul's patriotism can be trusted. You know him better than we do, so you know that better than I do! "Secretary of Defense Henry. Simpson said.

Ritter shook his head and said, "That's exactly what I'm worried about. Paul was just too patriotic, so I was afraid he would do something stupid. ”

"What stupid thing could he do? Paul was a soldier, and it was a soldier's duty to obey orders, and he would not cross the line. Besides, those special forces under him are all good guys with excellent political quality, even if they take 10,000 steps back and think about it, when Paul really wants to do something stupid, they will not follow him to mess around. ”

Ritter looked at Simpson silently for a while, and then asked the other party with a frown: "Do you know that Paul is the main leader of the Anti-Martial Arts Federation?" ”

Simpson also stared at Ritter for a moment before nodding and saying, "I understand." Turns out you're worried about this. It's not that you're afraid of him for power, but that he's going to use it to attack innocent warriors indiscriminately, right? Is this thing so powerful? Even masters like Guo Songshan, Alexander, and Steven are not its opponents? ”

"I don't know yet. I'm just a scientific research-type martial artist, not a combat-oriented martial artist, so I don't have a very accurate grasp of these combat power comparisons. But I believe that in the case of a surprise attack, it has a high probability of killing a master like Guo Songshan on the spot. But there is also the possibility of accidents, that is, the attacked master happens to have a strong defense and can resist the attack. If they missed, Paul and his troops would face the wrath of the other side, and their fate could be catastrophic.

"Now warriors like Guo Songshan and Alexander are no longer just individuals with strong individual ability, governments and people have regarded them as pillars of national defense like nuclear weapons, and once the military forces of various countries are out of balance, the consequences will be unimaginable. Therefore, what I am really afraid of is that once Paul masters it, it is likely that his self-confidence will be extremely inflated, whether it is out of patriotism or out of belief in opposing the warriors, once he makes a rash move, it will eventually lead to a great scuffle between the warriors and ordinary people, and between governments. I don't want to be a sinner for the ages. ”

Simpson thought for a moment and asked, "Didn't you invent any insurance?" For example, can we set up a separate command system with a command level above Paul, so that we don't have control over him? ”

"No way. There can only be one set of control systems, which is impossible to replicate. The principle is very complicated, and you don't understand what I said, it won't work anyway. ”

"Is it okay to change people, since Paul is so unreliable, why not change someone who can reassure us?"

"Now we have only one warrior in the United States who has entered the Netherworld, and he is Paul. Only martial artists who have entered the Netherworld can use this system, how do you say we can change people? ”

Simpson stared at Rhett for a moment, took out his phone and said, "I'm going to report this situation to the president and see what he has to say." ”

"You're not trying to overwhelm people, are you?" Ritter said with a slight sneer.

"Ritter, no kidding. You're a special beckon, a martial artist in the United States...... Oh, no, maybe the warriors of the world will also take action for you, who made you the king of internal force weapons in this world, let alone me, even the president will not dare to say anything threatening you. After Simpson finished speaking, he began to call the presidential plane.

Ritter turned around, looked out the window at the sea, and sighed. His concern for Paul was not just a matter of faith, but there were other reasons. He seemed to see the scene of Sima Zhengyi and Zhang Fei leading Paul to do the memory collector experiment ten years ago.

"Was it necessary to be so hot last night?" Sha Ping sat in the driver's seat, and while driving, he asked Li Man, who was sitting next to him, in Mandarin.

Sha Ping and the others didn't go to Ritter that night. Pebo. Instead, they went to Li Man's temporary residence for a night, and this morning, the three of them drove the car rented by Li Man and drove to Long Island together.

Li Man glared at Sha Ping with slanted eyes, and signaled that there was still House sitting behind him, how could he talk about such a secret thing so blatantly.

Sha Ping said indifferently: "Don't worry, he doesn't understand Chinese." Feng Juan has already tested him, no problem. ”

Li Man rolled his eyes, and then said, "It's not to make this federal agent have a sense of urgency and fear, and then obediently follow us to act." I was in the tavern where I heard your nonsense, and I thought that if the guy you could say believed you, I wouldn't have to let the gunman shoot. I didn't expect people to believe you after listening to it for a long time! I was forced to do this. ”

"Didn't hurt innocent passers-by, did you?"

"Nope. I'm measured, and I'm very careful. ”

"The gunslinger is going to be fine, is he?"

"Are people professional, how can they be caught by the police."

"That's good. Hey, what do you say Mr. Zhang is going to do? I was caught off guard by the temporary addition of such a task. I originally planned to take this comrade House to go to the laboratory of Rui Motorcycles first to see what information I could get, but I didn't expect you to intervene at this time. Sha Ping used Chinese characters to speak when he mentioned House, so it didn't attract the attention of House in the back row.

"Don't guess Mr. Zhang's thoughts, who can guess her thoughts. Let's just do what she tells us to do. Li Man said casually while observing the surrounding vehicles to see if there were any trackers among them.

"Then what about the matter of the Yu Gang Master, I am still responsible for solving the case for others!"

"I'll repeat to you Mr. Zhang's original words: 'It's okay. These two things can be done together, and I believe in the abilities of Sand Detective. ’。 ”

"I don't believe it myself!"

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's here." Li Man straightened up and looked down at the gate surrounded by green trees in front of him.

"Did you think Ritter himself would be at home?" Sha Ping said as he watched as House got out of the car and walked to the intercom at the gate.

"He's not here. Now the only people in the villa besides the security personnel are his daughter and the old lady. But he'll be back for sure. Li Man said. At this point, they saw that House had shown his FBI credentials to the camera so that the security personnel inside could see it.

"House wouldn't be a bewitcher, would he?" Sha Pingping seemed to be asking Li Man, and he seemed to be talking to himself. The two saw House talking through the intercom device and the people inside.

Li Man didn't answer Sha Ping's self-talk. At this point, the door opened automatically, and House returned to the car.

"It's going well!" Sha Ping said in English as he drove the car into the gate.

"I don't know why. At first, it seemed that the other person was talking to a security officer, but then the microphone was snatched by another person, and I heard it as a little girl's voice. It was she who allowed us in. House said. The car continued to drive inward at this time, and it seemed that this mansion occupied a large area.

"It's supposed to be Samantha. Ritter's daughter, but she's seventeen years old this year, not a little girl, she should be a big girl. Li Man explained. At this time, the car had already driven to the main road towards the main building, and they saw a tall and thin girl on the steps from a distance, wearing an ancient Chinese woman's costume, standing there with a smile like a flower. Obviously, she was delighted with their arrival.
