Chapter 285: The Great Bluff
The conference began with Deputy Minister Cao Yanhua singing praises of Yang Jian. It seemed this meeting had become a stage for Yang Jian's personal showcase, set to let him shine in front of others, with every word hinting at laudation for Yang Jian.
However, Yang Jian regarded this adulation as nothing but hot air.
He wasn't some naive youngster who would become emotionally touched by a few compliments and then loyally commit wholeheartedly.
Yang Jian had his own way of living.
"To tell the truth, the outbreak of S-level supernatural incidents globally is no longer an anomaly. Similar severe events occur abroad, but those are either resolved or suppressed. If our country fails to manage the Hungry Ghost incident, it will have a considerable impact internationally and might even shake our nation's future standing on the world stage."
"So we absolutely cannot allow such a precedent to occur, at least not within our country," Cao Yanhua said with solemnity.
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian began to understand a bit.
It was somewhat akin to a global military competition—not based on the economy or weapons anymore but rather on the ability to handle supernatural incidents.
If a country can't deal with an S-level supernatural incident, it means the country's future prospects are worrisome. Naturally, it won't be viewed favorably internationally.
