At 11 p.m.
Steijie sat upright and formal in his suit in the executive office located at the White House, surrounded by military staff, intelligence agency chiefs, and House of Representatives Speaker Pelosi.
They all wore AR glasses, and the table before them expanded into a spectrum of blue light, displaying Zhao Ling, Fogen, Helena Mina, and the new President of Fatida, Rees.
Rees had only been elected last month, but back in 2015, he knew about Wei Tianyang's information while serving as the Secretary of State of Fatida. He had just turned 70 this year and was the oldest and most cunning politician present, at least on the surface.
"There is no doubt that Fogen and Zhao Ling bear full responsibility for this matter, as they violated the rules we set. Only when all five parties agree can Unit 091 be mobilized," Rees took the initiative.
"Why should I be responsible?" Zhao Ling said with arms crossed, backed by Li Ruyun and three Elders.
