In the Metropolitan Investigation Bureau, in the Director's office, Anthony looked at Ryan as he entered and asked, "What’s the situation?"
Ryan's face was somewhat grim. "After confirmation, the leader of the Second Search Team is missing; Pristo, the leader of the Fourth Investigation Team, is also unaccounted for. Moreover, among the eleven members of the Fourth Investigation Team, only the newcomer William and Rims can be contacted. The entire First Search Team is missing; the entire First Action Team is missing; and the leader of the Second Action Team is also unaccounted for."
Hearing that so many subordinates had gone missing, Anthony remained expressionless, managing to maintain a semblance of calm without resorting to throwing things or cursing. He merely nodded to indicate his understanding. "Thank you, Ryan. You can leave now."
Ryan felt a sigh of relief inside. If it weren't for Charles's orders, he would have wanted to run away too! However, one had to admit that Director Anthony was impressive. Faced with so many subordinates abandoning their posts, this old man could still remain so composed—it was truly frightening.
Perhaps this was part of Charles's plan? With so many people leaving the Investigation Bureau, maybe Ryan could rise through the ranks? But would it even matter? In the face of aliens and those mysterious UFOs, what significance would it hold even if he sat in Anthony's position as Director?
Sighing inwardly, Ryan hoped that Charles would issue new orders soon. With these unusual thoughts in mind, he left the office, believing he had concealed his identity as an undercover agent well.
Little did he know that Xu Lie, Bionic Person Anthony, and Bionic Person Charles were all aware of each other's undercover status. In the script of "Black and White," the existence of an undercover agent was crucial for plot twists and revealing mysteries.
They chose not to expose Ryan’s identity directly simply because Anthony and Charles were on his side.
Watching Ryan leave, Anthony idly browsed the internet on his office computer, waiting for contact from higher-ups. He watched a movie for half an hour before any communication finally came through.
Anthony joined a video conference, an urgent meeting hastily organized by the Great Federation's Alien Life Intelligence Agency. The recording from last night had been quickly verified, showing no special effects or graphics—just pure reality.
As a result, the Great Federation placed significant emphasis on the Alien UFO Incident, especially since it involved a Tactical Nuclear Weapon. A series of personnel adjustments had been quite troublesome; half the night and half the morning were spent urgently reallocating relevant staff to this intelligence agency. Even the position of Alien Life Intelligence Agency Director had yet to be filled, and there was no designated office space. The meeting could only be held online.
They were in such a rush to pull Anthony into the meeting because he was the highest-ranking eyewitness present. Following their instructions, Anthony recounted the events in detail and concluded: "In summary, I can reasonably suspect that this mysterious third party with the private nuclear weapon likely had prior knowledge of the Alien UFO's existence. This would explain how they were able to precisely detonate the Tactical Nuclear Weapon at Metropolis Port to destroy the UFO."
During the video conference, an older Military Official fixed his sharp gaze on Anthony and asked, "Are you willing to take responsibility for what you just said?"
Anthony maintained his composure, inwardly reflecting on the Great Federation's accountability system. The Alien UFO incident had just exploded in their faces, yet instead of discussing strategies, they were more concerned about assigning blame? It was somewhat amusing.
