Chapter 266: Senior Fritters
The first head-to-head encounter with Wu Ge ended in a heavy defeat, much to Richardson's devastation. However, they are also "not without gains". At least, they now know how strong Wu Ge really is.
Richardson couldn't help but regret the oath he had made in front of Lao Zhou that he would never let the mystical cultivator "go silently...... Closing the door and hitting the dog is certainly a pretty good strategy, but if your opponent is a bison, it's a different story.
Moreover, the situation now looks much more complicated than it did then. According to this "Wuyou" gentleman, he was indeed a Chinese and knew Zhou, but he was not a member of the Chinese Cultivators' Organization...... This statement is somewhat credible. Because if Mr. Wu You was a member of the Chinese Practitioners' Organization, Zhou could have brought him directly to the conference and put him on the field - then China would have been in the limelight - without having to hide it. Besides, the mystery man was walking around the arena in the first place, and it didn't seem to be doing any sabotage. From Zhou's point of view, this approach is completely meaningless, and there are unpredictable risks.
He mentioned this cultivator twice in front of Zhou, and Zhou's attitude was a bit evasive and cover-up, which can also be explained by the fact that it was precisely because he failed to recruit this person into the organization, so he did not want the outside world to know about this person's existence, so as not to be recruited by others.
Perhaps, Mr. Wu You really just wants to come and learn from everyone and have some tea by the way?
If so, the situation is not as urgent as originally thought. In this way, it is not an invasion of another country by practitioners from one country, but simply an illegal entry into the country.
Of course. Even so, this matter cannot be let go easily. Pure illegal entry is also a matter of national dignity. Besides, the tournament was such a failure. If he can't even catch an illegal immigrant, he will lose face.
Moreover, the possibility that Mr. Wu You is a member of the Chinese Practitioners' Organization cannot be completely ruled out at this time.
But how can you catch it...... If you can't grasp the whereabouts of the other side, it won't help you even if the army, navy, and air force go into battle together.
It seems that we should start with "how to find" first.
"Mr. President, Mr. Wilson has requested to speak with you. ”
Lloyd hurried into Richardson's office and reported.
Richardson frowned.
"Wilson...... what is he looking for me?"

Wilson returned home at the Ascetic Conference. It's also a hard time.
Before the president summoned him, he did a lot of homework.
"Could it be that China has achieved a great breakthrough in spiritual practice?"
Mr. President asked, frowning.
"I don't think so. Wilson said confidently. "I think they've only made some progress in some areas at best, like invisibility. This time they were just lucky. Exploited a loophole. ”
Wilson is an old fritter. He knows that after defeat, he should naturally exaggerate the strength of his opponent, but to emphasize this too much is tantamount to admitting that he is incompetent and that he has no choice. And so it goes. Naturally, your boss will want to consider changing horses.
"Alas. He sighed and continued, "Richardson is indeed a good man. It's a pity that it is more rigid and lacks the spirit of cooperation. This time, if he doesn't stick to those rules, we have every chance to catch that Chinese cultivator. If that were the case, the outcome would be very different. ”
Lesson 2: It's okay to shift the blame to others, but don't overdo it. Your boss is not a fool, he will see if he has gone too far. A balance must be struck.
Mr. President nodded.
"It's a shame indeed...... However, although we are allies, this time we are on someone else's soil. Richardson's approach also has his reasons. ”
"You're right...... So this time I mobilized all my strength. Laying a blockade outside their borders. If Richardson accidentally let that Chinese practitioner escape, we would definitely be able to catch him. ”
Wilson said in a sonorous tone...... Here's lesson three: dwelling on past failures is pointless in the eyes of leaders. You have to convince your boss that you have what it takes to achieve new victories. And you already have a mature plan and are implementing it.
Mr. President smiled with satisfaction.
"What I appreciate most about you, Wilson, is your spirit of always being confident and always being positive. He stood up and said enthusiastically. "So, are you sure about this operation?"
"Absolutely. But ......"
Wilson changed his words and said with a little hesitation:
"The other party can be said to have some asymmetric advantages this time, and to round him up, it is necessary to mobilize multiple resources. If we can't work closely with each other......"
This is the fourth lesson: take the opportunity to ask for power, and reserve the foreshadowing. In case of another failure, the blame can be shifted to the "cooperating party".
"You can rest assured that your authority is adequate. Mr. President said. "This is not a trivial matter, it is about the international image and global influence of our country. I authorize you to devote all resources to this task. ”
"I see, Mr. President. I will definitely do my best to achieve this goal. ”
So, when Wilson walked out of the presidential office, he was full of energy and vigor again.
It's like a gambler who has lost all his money and raised a lot of money again.

Setting up a blockade outside the country and waiting for Richardson to make a mistake before arresting the Chinese practitioner was just a rhetoric by Wilson in front of the president. He wouldn't have taken such a reactive approach. Ideally, with Richardson's consent, the two sides would be able to act together within the country, which would be more certain.
But Richardson did not hesitate to veto Wilson's proposal, and Wilson's style was not unclear to Richardson, and let them in would cause more damage than Mr. Ufar.
Besides, this is a matter of national dignity, and it is unacceptable to allow foreign practitioners to enter their own country to carry out arrest operations? Even if the two sides are allies and focus on their own side, it is unacceptable.
Wilson's proposal irritated Richardson to some extent, and after hanging up the phone, Richardson immediately ordered that all practitioners and all monitoring equipment in the country be mobilized to carry out a search. No matter what Mr. Wu You is, whether he is here to make trouble or to drink tea, he has violated their national dignity and must pay for it.
However, the order also states that ordinary monks must avoid confrontation with Mr. Uyu, and can only monitor and report to their superiors. In the event of a battle, only magic or magic items can be used to attack, and it is absolutely forbidden to attack with any modern weaponry. (To be continued......)
