Another World Mall-Chapter 978: Decision

Absalom.

The president was staring at General Sanders. "So, everything is true?"

General Sanders nodded. "It looks like the hatred between the Hacfield family and the Prophet couldn’t be erased. And we are getting swept into it. However, I’m sure that you considered this prior to signing him, right?"

The president nodded. "Of course. I’m sure the countries that almost snatched him also considered it."

General Sanders raised two fingers. "What I can tell you is that Clovis is simply different. He is able to command the entire group and pick elites among elites as his teammates.

"And from what I know, he has gotten another member. Although I don’t know about the other party’s identity yet, by looking at the weapon and power, I’m afraid it is Angelia from Myhan."

"That Angelia?"

"I don’t know the details, but I’m quite sure of it." General Sanders continued, "As for the second important matter, Clovis Hacfield may have prepared for it. Right now, Resteane is under attack by the Ghost.

"By using the Global Ghost Order on a national scale, they create chaos within the country, and it will be quite hard for them to recover from it."

"Ghost? I have heard about this order, but I haven’t heard about the fact that it can be applied on a national scale."

"Exactly." General Sanders nodded with a serious expression.

"I see." The president gasped. "To think the Hacfield family’s strength is at this level. Before, I thought they were in shambles, but it turned out they had been building up their strength.

"That also means the Ghost, the Golden World Agency, the Hacfield family and their elites, and the Libation Fiesta."

General Sanders added, "Don’t forget that Clovis Hacfield’s fiancees are Christina Elseingarde and Hana Skylark. The Elseingarde family will definitely do something. The same applies to the Skylark conglomerate. Besides, his mother, Aisha, and his fiancee, Lucifania, are both respectable doctors in the industry."

The president shook his head helplessly. "This is a strength that can’t be underestimated. However, the Prophet’s strength and influence are also growing. Defending ourselves from him will be quite hard."

"You don’t have to worry about that." Suddenly, another man stormed into the room.

"Who are—!" General Sanders stood up, planning to protect the president until he saw the person who was coming.

This place should be guarded, but if it were this person, he might be able to enter as he pleased.

After all, he was one of the strongest people in the world.

"Michael Hacfield." The president stood up as well. He never thought he would have the opportunity to meet a Tier 9 human.

Michael raised his hand, stopping him. "Let’s cut the pleasantries. If you want me to work for your country, then don’t bother. You won’t succeed. However, this is a matter of my family that involves your country, so I will make my move personally.

"If the Prophet comes, I will handle him myself. Do you think you can keep the economy under control? I’m sure that multiple countries will sanction this country."

The president nodded. "If you are worried about sanctions, the country should be able to hold on. I have secured several links right after signing your grandson."

Michael paused for a moment before walking to the president. He grabbed a paper and a pen from the desk and started drawing.

"This will be the overall plan. We will let the Prophet attack from the outside. This country will do its best to defend against this attack. Meanwhile, the Hacfield family will be helping on the defense as well as sending another attack elsewhere.

"This will divide the Prophet’s attention, and the Prophet will definitely focus on this attack rather than the offensive on Absalom.

"At that time, we will sweep in from behind and annihilate the people coming to this country."

The president frowned. "We understand the plan, but what are these two? The diversion attack and the hidden reinforcement."

"That’s for us to worry about. I’m afraid that the Prophet has been planting spies within your government as well, so the less you know, the better. For now, announce that you will be defending against any attacks. We will take care of the rest."

"I see. You want me to take the blame first so that I can become the bait?" The president frowned.

"Indeed." Michael nodded casually.

"Sir..." General Sanders was stupefied. There was no way he could let the country become bait.

Michael waved his hand. "If we succeed, the country might end up snatching a few keys from other countries.

"But if we fail, you can imagine the damage to this country. So, what is your decision?"

The president knew clearly that Clovis would leave this country if he didn’t agree. This was a high risk, high reward opportunity. But he had to carefully consider whether the risk was worth the reward or not.

"Ah, by the way, I have spoken to Jeremy Skylark. He will probably open his coffers a little bit."

"..." The president was a bit speechless. The Hacfield family had the Golden World Agency. Including Jeremy’s companies, they basically possessed two out of the ten biggest companies in the world to fuel the money.

In addition, Hana Skylark’s OpenSky Company had been growing over the past few years as she ranked 13th in the business world.

"I have a question. I hope you can answer it so as to help me make my decision."

"Ask away."

"Are you planning to crush the Prophet?"

"Whether the Prophet is crushed or not doesn’t matter. For those who know the true nature of the Prophet, they will think the same. However, it doesn’t mean he can do anything he wants."

"I see." The president nodded. If they tried to destroy the Prophet, the losses would be quite big as well.

But since the Hacfield family didn’t intend to start an all-out war, at least not yet, he was prepared to take some losses in the beginning.

"Understood. I will become your bait. Let them come, and we will defeat them."
