a.m. the next day.
The North American officials sent a special car to pick up Xu Lin.
Tilin accompanied him. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
A little after eight, Xu Lin arrived at his destination.
This meeting was not a formal one; it was held in an estate in Los Angeles.
"This estate is owned by a prominent Jewish figure, so you’ll encounter Jews."
Tilin reminded him.
Xu Lin acknowledged but didn’t think much of it.
Just like during the late Ming Dynasty, when the Emperor had to ally with eunuchs and officials from other places to combat the Jiangnan gentry, who had grown immensely powerful. The Emperor couldn’t exert his will, and his authority was almost entirely undermined, until the Qing Dynasty came and physically eradicated the overgrown Jiangnan gentry, forcing them to remain obedient during the Qing period.
In North America, while it might not be like the online claims that the Jews have overwhelming control, they certainly hold significant sway.
Xu Lin’s encounters during this meeting and future ones would inevitably involve these people.
Moreover, the North American officials did not treat Xu Lin like just anyone.
International rules are pragmatic, with North America being even more so. It’s not a country of etiquette; weaker nations are distinguished in their treatment.
Xu Lin is not representing a country, nor is he representing Huaxia.
He’s just a single individual.
But faced with someone wielding a technological weapon of mass destruction, even North America has to be respectful.
In fact, over the past few months, the North American officials have undertaken assessment after assessment of Xu Lin, ultimately concluding that ’Young Master Xu is a relatively restrained man holding a weapon of mass destruction.’
Firstly, Xu Lin is relatively restrained, but it’s uncertain if he might go berserk.
Secondly, in his grasp is a weapon that can instantly cause a super large city to disappear from the internet and communication layers, meaning he can make a place vanish in the digital sense, at the same time allowing Huaxia’s forces to quickly annihilate the nation. By the time North America realizes it, the timeline would be unclear; it would be the same if they were targeted. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Thirdly, Xu Lin hasn’t handed over his intelligent life to Huaxia. According to intelligence sources, he plans to train intelligent life for Huaxia within three years. The issue being, he’s running around holding a weapon that can be categorized as nation-obliteration level, akin to a walking human nuclear weapon.
The third point is actually a deliberate rumor spread by Xu Lin.
Ancient wisdom states that outsiders fear power but do not admire virtue.
This saying applies to everyone since not everyone has moral qualities elevated to that of sages; if they did, the world would have already achieved peace, and the concept of a global village, where everyone lives harmoniously in an ideal nation, utopia, paradise, or earthly heaven would have become reality, but this is impossible.
Influence determines perspective, strength determines position.
Thus, upon Xu Lin’s arrival, the North American officials remained courteous.
Xu Lin and Tilin got out of the car outside the estate.
After getting out, Xu Lin buttoned up his suit jacket.
"Young Master Xu, this way please." Someone guided them.
"Alright."
Xu Lin’s gaze fell on the grand estate ahead, with a straight path leading directly to the main building.
Under the guidance of the designated personnel, Xu Lin walked towards the building, entering the area under surveillance.
Synchronized analysis of Xu Lin began at this moment.
An in-depth analysis of Xu Lin’s personality was initiated, and if he left a hair follicle or any bodily excretion here, it could be used for genetic analysis of Xu Lin.
In short, Xu Lin was being watched closely.
However, Xu Lin was aware of this; Moon God was fully monitoring the communications system here.
As they walked, a formidable group was already waiting outside the door. Men and women, middle-aged and elderly, some were familiar faces from the news, but most were unknown to the public.
The group stood on the steps, looking down at Xu Lin as he approached, creating a condescending atmosphere.
Yet Xu Lin remained undaunted.
Despite having only Tilin at his side, he projected the aura of marching with thousands.
The individuals on the steps dared not underestimate him, feeling internally that this man was immensely powerful.
This man seemed to have everything.
"Young Master Xu!"
After Xu Lin approached, a middle-aged man stepped forward first to shake his hand.
"Hello."
Xu Lin greeted indifferently, proceeding with perfunctory courtesies.
There was no necessity to become familiar with them, and Xu Lin came with the expectation that it might end in failure, carrying no intentions of achieving any specific outcome.
After the pleasantries, everyone entered.
This was a large oval table, seating twenty.
Xu Lin sat in the middle on one side, Tilin beside him, while the others sat opposite, clearly divided.
Twelve people were on the other side; if it weren’t for Xu Lin’s formidable presence, their sheer number could have been overpowering, even suffocating, considering those present weren’t ordinary.
Fortunately, it was Xu Lin.
Xu Lin initiated the conversation: "Ladies and gentlemen, let’s cut to the chase!"
"Young Master Xu, we hope to collaborate. Your intelligent life technology shouldn’t be exclusive to Huaxia. Otherwise, this poses a risk to the entire world!"
Someone on the opposite side immediately spoke.
Xu Lin responded sharply: "May I ask, if you were the ones to first obtain this technology, would you share it with Huaxia?"
