At the summit, Steve, in order to obtain incriminating evidence to give Huaxia Country an explanation, had to secretly instruct a group to attack the Yin Country delegation convoy. They found the viper, forcing Yin Country to abandon the President's cousin to take the fall, which cald the fury of all parties. This incident shad Alas, and Jackson's words undoubtedly rubbed salt in Alas's wounds, causing Alas's face to flush with anger.
"What, not satisfied?" Jackson continued coldly.
"You're right." Alas was indeed an experienced diplomat, possessing his own judgnt and observation skills. He knew Jackson was provoking him to act rashly and understood the consequences of doing so. He quickly regained so clarity and scowled at Jackson, saying coldly, "Don't forget, this is Yin Country, not your country. My Great Seal Country borders Huaxia; if war breaks out, what can your country do?"
"We will certainly extend strong support, offering assistance in areas such as economy and weaponry." Jackson continued without a change in expression, his eyes glinting with icy sparks.
"Support? Do you have military support? Are you speaking for yourself or your country's President? If it's the latter, I think we can discuss this issue further," Alas sneered.
Jackson's icy eyes flared with anger, but he concealed it well. He got up and leisurely poured himself another glass of wine, suppressing the near-explosive rage inside him. He downed the filled glass of red wine, cald down a bit, and said nonchalantly, "This red wine is good. If possible, I would like another bottle."
Alas noticed Jackson changing the subject and understood that his previous comnts only represented his personal opinion. This made Alas furious, but being in diplomacy, he mastered patience and did not show it. He replied nonchalantly, "Sure, I will arrange it. There's plenty of wine. I hope you'll find an opponent soon; otherwise, it won't just be us who lose, but also you."
"Of course, we share a common enemy," Jackson said indifferently, "Imdiately send soone to keep an eye on the Huaxia Country Embassy. Even if a fly cos out, I want to know if it's male or female. Can you do that?"
"We'll try our best, is that all?" Alas asked discontentedly.
"Of course. Once we find any clue, we find a way to storm the Embassy, or hit hard once they co out. Without a target, everything is useless. With our current defenses, no one can break through, rest assured. I guarantee the safety of your country's State Preceptor," Jackson said coldly.
"Says who?" Alas sneered.
"The na Jackson," Jackson replied discontentedly.
Alas snickered, said nothing more. He had investigated thoroughly the entanglents between Jackson and Luo Zheng. To be diplomatic, it was a series of defeats; in reality, it was failure after failure. Considering Jackson's face, Alas did not say it out loud. He stood up and said, "Thank you, I'll go check on the State Preceptor. Feel free to call on if needed. I hope this cooperation yields a pleasant outco."
"We look forward to it," Jackson said coldly. As Alas left, Jackson made a gesture, and a middle-aged man quietly ca to Jackson's side. Indicating for him to lean in, Jackson whispered, "Have your team keep a close watch on the Huaxia Country Embassy for . Capture any suspicious person imdiately and pry open their mouths. It's enough to confirm our enemy is inside the Embassy."
"Yes," the middle-aged man replied quietly and left with a cold expression.
Watching the man leave, Jackson felt even colder. Alas was cautious about the relationship with Huaxia Country and didn't dare to push the situation too far. However, Jackson had no such reservations and even hoped to provoke a war between the Yin Country and Huaxia Country. Their positions differed as did their interests.

Luo Zheng, unaware he was being watched by Jackson, slept soundly. Around noon, everyone had lunch in the cafeteria and then returned to their rooms to discuss the overall plan, examining for any loopholes. He Guozhu ca quickly with a grim face, causing everyone's surprise. Luo Zheng asked in astonishnt, "What's wrong?"
"Our external intelligence personnel discovered unidentified figures focusing on the Embassy. They are Caucasian. Could it be the person you ntioned?" He Guozhu angrily explained.
"Oh?" Luo Zheng was startled, exchanged a glance with everyone, and imdiately said, "It seems the other side has guessed we're hiding in the Embassy. With his personality and style, he will certainly target the Embassy."
"What? That's impossible, right?" He Guozhu said in surprise. "The Embassy is equivalent to our territory. Targeting the Embassy is an act of invasion. Would they dare?"
"There's no such thing as 'dare' or 'not dare'," Luo Zheng laughed, his thick brows furrowing. He Guozhu wanted to say more, but Ghost Hand next to him pulled him aside, signaling him to hold his curiosity. After a while, Luo Zheng continued, "No, that bastard will certainly find a way to target the Embassy, forcing us out. At that point, we'll face countless troops."
"What should we do?" He Guozhu, believing Luo Zheng's determined tone, asked anxiously.
"Imdiately contact our country, deploy troops at the border, and create a deterrent for Yin Country. The specific excuse or thod should be up to the country, but one thing is certain: we must make Yin Country wary and not act recklessly," Luo Zheng quickly said, looking at Lan Xue.
Lan Xue understood and said, "I'll make arrangents right away," and then got up and left.
"Do they really dare to attack the Embassy? Aren't they afraid of provoking a war?" He Guozhu still couldn't believe it and asked.
"There's nothing they won't dare. Governnt officials wouldn't, but what about civil groups and ordinary citizens? Yin Country just needs to have troops impersonate civilians to rush in. What can you do? At best, fire in self-defense, but that would force us to expose ourselves, and the nature of the situation would change," Luo Zheng explained calmly.
Hearing this, He Guozhu's face changed dramatically and he began to ponder. Luo Zheng glanced at He Guozhu and continued, "It seems that bastard is preparing to act. Hopefully, it's in ti. By the way, how's your side?"
"Everything has been arranged. We've recruited more hands and expect all preparations to be completed by tomorrow night," He Guozhu quickly answered.
"Oh?" Luo Zheng was surprised that He Guozhu had finished preparations a day early and cautiously reminded, "Can you ensure there's no chance of failure?"
"Rest assured, I can't guarantee other things, but there's absolutely no problem with this," He Guozhu said confidently.
Luo Zheng was completely unfamiliar with He Guozhu's intelligence system, but he trusted He Guozhu wouldn't ss around on this issue. He nodded, and at this mont, Hei Shi knocked and entered excitedly. Seeing He Guozhu there, he greeted and then excitedly said to Luo Zheng, "I found out, the target is in a grand hall in the middle of the palace."
