Chapter 690: President Carter
It was an extremely tempting offer.
Because of that, Ivy’s smile became even gentler and more sincere on the surface.
However, inwardly, her thoughts remained perfectly calm.
Meanwhile, Silas quietly entered the room from the side.
The moment he saw Carter smiling hypocritically while offering benefits and promises, ridicule immediately surfaced inside his heart.
’These old fogies truly haven’t changed at all,’ he thought coldly.
Silas knew very well what kind of person Carter actually was.
Although the man presented himself publicly as a wise and caring leader, in reality, he was nothing more than a greedy parasite who specialized in squeezing every ounce of value from others.
After exchanging several more polite words and painting a beautiful picture of future harmony and restored civilization, Carter finally revealed his true intentions.
Looking directly at Ivy, he calmly said, "I am planning to acquire the land surrounding your base and establish a large military zone here."
The room instantly grew quieter.
Carter continued speaking smoothly as if he were discussing something entirely reasonable.
