  Soon, there was a reply from a scholar embedded in the White House, detailing the story behind the US military's deployment to Antarctica.Tarlon hurried back to Fleur, and reported, "My lord… The scholar in the White House reports that the US sent their military to Antarctica because Japan suspects their own research crew of collective treason and large-scale illegal exploration on the continent. As they are unable to send their own military to Antarctica to pacify the rogue research crew, they turned to the US for help."Fleur frowned. "There's no doubt about it now—Barlin must have mind-bent the entire Japanese research crew. But why search Antarctica? I sent him to look for providence and rare mystic treasures, but such things are inconspicuous little objects, and whatever gimmicks they use are unnecessary. He must have been on to something… Something so significant that calling it a 'thing' would be an understatement."Tarlon nodded. "As we speak, the US military has subdued mo

  Tarlon's theory actually left Fleur stunned for a moment.She was aware of Barlin heading to the South Pole but not the details, or that there was such a connection.And considering that Barlin commandeered the Japanese research vessel, Fleur was basically sure that Barlin had mind-bent the entire crew of the Japanese Antarctic research vessel to cover his tracks.However, what could he have been doing in the South Pole that would draw the attention of the American military? And from Fleur's perspective, whatever he did threatened her safety and the Qing Eliminating Society's cloak of secrecy.Furious, she growled, "He was gone barely a month, but he already caused such a huge mess? Worst of all, he could have gone anywhere else in the world, but he had to go to some icy wasteland. What is it that draws him there anyway?"Tarlon quickly tried to assure her, "There's no reason to get so upset over this, and there's no point in blaming Elder Barlin now. I believe the priority is t

  After Barlin left, he headed straight to Ushuaia and reached the Antarctic with help from Consul Cicero of the Left Military Governorate.Fleur wasn't all that surprised when told—she was the one who told the three high elders to go search for whatever they could to advance their cultivation, and none of them were aware beforehand if the South Pole offered such opportunities.Fleur was herself going for the unexpected. Otherwise, if they kept doing what she told them to do, they were never going to discover anything new.Even so, never could she have expected that Barlin's trip to the South Pole proved so eventful!At the moment, she still didn't know what was really happening there. The only information she had came from the news reports, which said that American forces had landed overnight with weapons and equipment and had even taken action against the Japanese research crew. Worst of all, she couldn't contact Barlin or know for sure if it was the geezer's fault, which made h

  There was no question that the JMOD minister and the minister of the Japanese Ministry of Science and Cultural Development were both angry at the Americans, but that meant nothing.Against the Americans and their unreasonable demands, they didn't even have the balls to argue. After all, this whole mess wasn't the Americans' responsibility alone. The scandal was a result of military intervention for Japan's rogue research crew, and Japan couldn't claim innocence.It was just that neither side could agree on how much responsibility either side was taking.For Japan, it felt like two drivers ending up in a car crash because neither followed the rules, so responsibility had to be shared. And they could bear with their researchers being put through advanced interrogation... if it was kept under wraps. But that cat's out of the bag now, so what would they tell their own people?Mustering his courage, the minister of the Japanese Ministry of Science and Cultural Development spoke, "Mr.

  The agreement in the room was unanimous, so the press secretary continued, "I'll reach the Oval Office in fifteen. Notify every reporter stationed in Washington and have them at the White House press briefing room within the hour. We'll use the extra forty-five minutes to come up with the best possible explanation for the actions exposed in that video.""Yes, ma'am!" Seeing how composed and clear-headed she remained under pressure, everyone seemed to find a sense of direction and confidence.The press secretary then added, "Also call SecDef to come over in twenty—we need to be on the level in the details, including their next steps, whether it's a full withdrawal or remaining at the south pole."And tell him to call the Japanese—the blame will go to them. Whether it's the research station's supervisory agency, the defense establishment, or even the cabinet itself, don't give them any room to refuse." -While the White House made calls, the military was feeling a migraine.They

  As the press secretary rushed to the White House, the news of American military presence in Antarctica and subjecting the Japanese to advanced interrogation had made headlines across the world.Naturally, global interest skyrocketed because it was such a sensational scandal.It was not like the US never got rough, and they were definitely caught red-handed doing worse things than what they did to the Japanese researchers. It was why Guantanamo Bay remained ever infamous, but none of those incidents seized global attention like this one.The main reason is that the situation is simply strange, when Japan-American ties were stronger than even British-American relations, so it really left one baffled that the American military was suddenly caught giving some Japanese a whooping.In addition, America's military presence in the Antarctic meant its warmongering reached even the last place untouched by war. One might even say that the moment they landed, their iron fist had covered the wh
