Chapter 158: If Life Was Still as When We First Met

Char raised his head and surveyed the immaculate laboratory, walked slowly to the owner of this room, and knocked on the table, "Lingus, I have come to ask you a few questions on behalf of His Excellency Marcenas. I hope you can answer truthfully."

Without raising his head, Ade gave a "hmm" and continued to tinker with the complex graphics that Char could not understand at all.

"His Excellency has received a very frightening piece of news that the peacekeeping fund in accordance with the agreement has been privately diverted by P.L.A.N.T. to start secretly building a new model of Genesis." Char coughed, "I asked Haman about it, and the woman said that it was directed by you. His Excellency wanted me to speak with you personally before going to court."

"There are three descriptions that are inaccurate." Ade lowered his head as he wrote, "First, it was not privately appropriated, it was signed and approved by me through the regular process. Second, it was not secretly built, it was a proper national project. Third, it's not Genesis, it's a Genesis-sized satellite microwave cannon built using the principles of DX."

The unexpected answer made Char's jaw drop, and he froze for a long time before asking, "Why do you want to build the Genesis? It wasn't in the two five-year plans made at the previous summit, so why not follow the plan?"

"Because plans can't catch up with change." Ade put down his pen and looked up at Char, "I should have sent you an email, stating that the aliens are coming."

"Such a huge amount of money flow can actually be decided by you at the drop of a hat, the permission settings must be problematic." Char said with a straight face, "What His Excellency wants is not just a statement that the aliens are coming over, but a specific analysis in terms of technology and tactics. That's ridiculous, do Haman and Queen Diana believe you on the basis of one sentence?"

"Yes, Haman and Diana both believe me on the basis of one sentence." Ade frowned unhappily, "Char, you are talking more and more bureaucratically. Don't really treat Bright and Marcenas like puppets, thinking you're the commander-in-chief behind the Federation."

"Since I hold so much power, I have to be responsible for the power itself, this is not bureaucratic, it is the right attitude to deal with as a politician." Char answered, "Lingus, on the contrary, have you not noticed that you are becoming more and more headstrong and self-willed? You don't even discuss such an important decision with us, do you simply think you are the savior?"

"I have not rested for ten days in a row, I don't hope that you come to waste my time." Ade sighed, "I made it very clear that this is something that the Tenth Angel is trying to stop even in spite of self-destruction, at least hundreds of kilometers in size. The only thing that is estimated to be able to do damage to it is the satellite cannon."

"Here's the problem, don't you see the contradiction? Probably, maybe, estimate." Char banged the table with each word he pronounced, "Lingus, you are the leading scholar of the world, tell me how I'm going to convince the entire Federation Council to throw money at the Genesis with such words full of uncertainty?"

"I'm an academic, all I do is ask for money and design superweapons." Ade took a matter-of-fact tone, "I have given you all the information, how to convince them is your, Quattro Bajeena's job, right?"

"The problem is that you haven't even convinced me!" Char said in a loud voice, "This time is different from before, this time all your planning and pushing is an 'I think,' don't you think you are too capricious? You can no longer trust other NTs with your mere thoughts after losing your NT ability, shouldn't you spend more energy to convince your allies?"

"Capricious? You're talking to me about capriciousness?" Ade was dumbfounded, "The man who threw Junius 7 at Earth told me it was too capricious?"

"A wise man never dwells on the mistakes he made in his youth; it is the prerogative of an adult." Char looked irritated, "Lingus, I need your detailed explanation of the so-called aliens and the satellite cannon."

Ade impatiently tapped the electronic screen with the tip of his pen, "I've made it clear enough in my emails as best I can, there is no more detailed version of the explanation. Believe it or not, I do anyway."

Such a tone was bad enough, and Char sniffed and was silent for a moment before speaking slowly, "Lingus, I know it's a serious issue and don't want to make it so inefficient. But in the case that you are currently not NT and do not have enough evidence, I have to doubt the correctness of your judgment in the spirit of responsibility for all humanity."

"There has to be a reason, right?" Ade helplessly spread both hands, "My credit record is extremely good, and we also have a good experience of working together, there has to be a trigger for doubting me, right?"

Char paused, then let out a long breath, "I met Mineva before coming and had a chat with her."

"So?" Ade was confused, "What does that have to do with what we're talking about?"

"I find that leaving Mineva in your hands was the wrong decision in the extreme, and now have serious doubts about your abilities and foresight in all areas, including and not limited to visionary planning for humanity and strategic deployment of aliens." Char's face looked a little gloomy, "I will definitely get Mineva's custody back after I regain Aznable or Daeken's free status."

"What do you mean?!" Ade instantly tensed up, "Mineva is now smart and civilized, simple and kind and loving, I don't see any problem with that."

"Wake up, look what your twisted family environment has taught Mineva? She is now the spitting image of Haman back then, why on earth did I save her from P.L.A.N.T.?" Char questioned sternly, "Have you become blind after losing your NT ability?"

"I'm warning you not to slander me!" Ade was provoked, "What happened to Mineva? Tell me clearly!"

"A rat's eye is not enough for a plan." Char shook his head in disappointment, turned around, and left, "I'll help you muddle through the Genesis thing one last time, you're on your own for the rest."

After saying that, he pushed open the door of the laboratory and disappeared from Ade's sight.

"What's wrong with him? Can't you see I'm so busy and you're making a mess?" Ade forcefully shook off the messy thoughts in his head and refocused on the task at hand. It was no surprise that the enemy would show up at any time, and with everyone's lives on his shoulders, he had no time to dwell on such trivial matters. If Char really betrays, he also has a countermeasure, and he can directly reveal Char's real identity when it's necessary.

"But there was a better way to handle it, so why did you choose to clash with him in that tone? That's not your style." Accompanied by the second opening of the door, another voice rang out, "Ade, you're really tired mentally, it's dangerous to go on like this. You need to rest."

Ade looked to the door, and what reflected in his pupils was a figure he hadn't seen in a long time, "Lo"

"Loran Cehack, first time meeting, nice to meet you." The visitor smiled coyly at him, "If you must insist, you can also call me Laura once in a while, hum?"
