A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 2347

In this context, the leaders of various nations worldwide had once again come together to convene an emergency meeting.

"Damn it!"

"Who is that bastard?"

"Has the news been leaked?"

"What should we do now?"

"The world has turned upside down!"

"Our space colonization program has also encountered challenges and obstacles."

"Yesterday, a mob stormed our country's space launch site and destroyed two spaceships that were still under construction!"

At the meeting, the national representative from India was venting his anger furiously.

Originally, if the news had been kept secret, then the common people would have continued living the last ten years of their lives peacefully.

And these nobles, they too could take advantage of the decade of peace to build more spaceships and send away their wives and children.

But now, the news had leaked prematurely.

It had sparked dissatisfaction worldwide.

Now, there were angry people everywhere in many countries!

"What else can be done?"

"We must suppress them!"

"Merciless suppression!"

"Only an iron fist approach can suppress these rioters!"

"Define all those organized mobs as terrorist organizations!"

"Let's sweep the ground with missiles!"

The representative of Anglandur delivered a forceful speech, deciding to fight fire with fire and suppress all the rioters who were obstructing the plan.

The Western Epean countries also agreed with this plan.

They saw blood and sacrifice as an exchange for freedom and democracy, and the continuation and prosperity of mankind.

So, anyone who hindered the Human Preservation Program deserved severe consequences!

However, at this very moment, Sword Saint, who had been quietly observing, suddenly stood up.

He surveyed the crowd, his booming voice echoing throughout the venue.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, there are billions of people around the world.

"Do you really think you can suppress ten thousand people, a hundred thousand people, or even a million people?

"But, what if billions of people come out to protest?

"In the face of life and death, how many people truly believe in your so-called power?

"And, when you stand against all of humanity, only defending your own life and interests while disregarding the lives of the people, do you think your soldiers will still obey you?

"Will the voters, who once voted you into high positions, still support you?

"If you choose ruthless suppression, I can assure you that those who will ultimately fall from the heights of power will be you!"

The words of Sword Saint were indeed a wake-up call.

For a moment, almost everyone in the room fell silent.

Indeed, in the face of life and death, when everyone is thinking about survival, can the order and operational procedures that have been built over thousands of years still function?

"I suppose those soldiers under my command will ignore my order."

"So, what's next?

"May I know your esteemed views, Mr. Sword Saint?" someone asked Sword Saint.

Sword Saint said, "I believe we should reflect on this.

"Previously, we were only focused on saving the elites, leaving the billions of ordinary people to fend for themselves.

"They feel abandoned, and naturally, they would be angry as they feel that they have been betrayed.

"We should understand and pay attention to their survival needs. After all, everyone wants hope. Hence, even a glimmer of hope can maintain order.

"So, I propose we revise the previous Human Preservation Program and allocate some spots to those ordinary people.

"At the same time, apart from researching how to transport more people off Earth, we should also devote some energy to finding ways to counter the Universe Tree.

"We should not give up on Earth so easily!"

The words of Sword Saint gained the agreement of many people.

Especially his first suggestion.

Indeed, the best way to pacify those rioting civilians was to allocate a portion of the survival spots to them.

Everyone wasn't particularly enthusiastic about finding ways to counter the Universe Tree.

"Swordsman, your first suggestion is excellent.

Everyone was undoubtedly impressed by the intelligence and wisdom of the American representative.

Indeed, his approach was undoubtedly much better than the suggestion of Sword Saint.

However, it was destined to mislead the public.

Sword Saint was the first to oppose. "Your strategy of deceiving the public may temporarily fool them, but it won't fool them forever.

"When the time comes, who in this world would still believe us once our actions are exposed?

"When the time comes, the anger of people from all over the world will only be more intense than it is now!" Sword Saint warned angrily.

"So, tell me, what other options do we have besides this?

"Even if we follow your suggestion and allocate thousands or even tens of thousands of spots to ordinary people, what good would it do?

"Most people still won't be able to achieve their desires, and they will still rebel!"

Faced with these questions, Sword Saint couldn't help but fall silent.

They're right, the current situation is almost unsolvable.

We can only barely maintain the world's order by deceiving the world.

"Huh...

"Is there really no other way?"

Sword Saint's face was filled with sorrow.

Recently, he had secluded himself for half a year, but had achieved nothing significant.

There was no news at all from War God's side.

It seemed like the world was on the verge of collapse.

"I have a solution!"

But just as everyone was in disagreement,

Suddenly, in the conference hall, the tightly closed doors were forcefully thrown open!

The light of righteousness streamed in from outside.

A man's silhouette appeared, confidently striding in as he made his grand entrance!

Suddenly, the entire room fell silent.

Everyone's gaze was directed towards the same direction!
