At that moment, Murray's head buzzed, filled with countless question marks. Who was this person calling him? Why did they dare to speak to him, an investigator who reported directly to the center, with such a tone? 400 missiles aimed at their Presidential Palace? Was this person even awake? The onlookers and journalists around him only heard a burst of loud static from the cell phone and could not make out what was being said, but from Murray's expression, it was clear this was no ordinary phone call. Could it be that the phone call Zhang Menglong had just made was effective? This question popped into everyone's minds. "Although I don't know who you are, or how you got my number, I must warn you formally that if you continue talking nonsense, I can hold you accountable for causing public panic. You should know that it's extremely easy for the state to trace a number!" After all, he was a man who had weathered many storms, and within moments, Murray regained his composure. As the Minister of Defense and a former military man, Busmuslin had a fiery temper, which had calmed slightly only upon assuming the role of Minister of Defense. It had probably been many years since he had been as angry as he was today. A mere investigator, driven by his arrogance and ridiculous pride, had brought such a grave threat to national security. If Murray were in front of Busmuslin right now, he was sure he would blow his foolish head off! And yet, Murray not only failed to realize how dangerous his actions were, he even displayed his authority in front of him, which instantly turned him into a lit fuse. "Fine, I'll tell you who I am! I am Busmuslin, the Minister of Defense!" Busmuslin roared, "I'm telling you, right now across Europe, forty-some countries and regions, 52 intercontinental missiles, 386 ballistic and cruise missiles, are all aimed at our Presidential Palace!" "What? How is that possible?" Murray's mind, which had just recovered slightly, crashed once again. Although Murray had never met Busmuslin in person, he was very familiar with his voice. At this moment, he finally matched the voice on the phone with one in his memory. Busmuslin was a renowned figure in Frankfurt; although hot-tempered and fiery, he was meticulous in his work and had always made national security his life's mission. Not only to the entire nation but even in Murray's heart, he was something of a hero. Now, this hero was on the phone with him, but moments ago Murray had mistaken Busmuslin for some half-awake lunatic! But what about those 400 missiles? He was just an investigator; surely, if such an incident were real, it was Busmuslin's job to handle it, right? Why would he call him? And from Busmuslin's tone, it seemed that this matter involved him too. "You... you really are Minister Busmuslin?" Murray's tone suddenly became extremely reverent. The people around him overheard Murray's words: the caller was the Minister of National Defense? Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire "I know you might wonder why!" Busmulin said bluntly, "I'm telling you, I don't even know him! This isn't a personal decision of mine!" "So you..." Busmulin didn't even know Zhang Menglong, so why was he forcing him to release someone? "But the whole of Europe can't afford to provoke him!" Busmulin stated, "Those more than four hundred missiles are prepared by his men. If you dare to touch him, within minutes all these missiles will be heading towards our capital, and a third of our national power wouldn't be able to intercept them!" Murray's face instantly turned pale. He had originally thought Zhang Menglong's phone call was merely to seek help from some figure in the Kingdom of Frankfurt, but they outright didn't consider any person in their country at all. It was a bold move straight up! You want to move against him? Then consider first if you can withstand a furious barrage of these four hundred missiles! He wasn't just playing unorthodoxly; he wasn't observing even a shred of martial morality! "I... I'll release him immediately!" Murray's spirit was thoroughly shattered; he had even dared to allow someone to point a gun at Zhang Menglong's head! A mere threat was enough to mobilize over 400 missiles. If Zhang Menglong were indeed harmed, the entire Frankfurt might virtually disappear from the world map! "Who the hell is he?" If Murray had known the terrifying power and resources that Zhang Menglong controlled, he wouldn't have dared to detain Zhang Menglong even with a hundred guts!" ... "Damn, the call's over?" "But I didn't hear anything!" "Neither did I! I didn't catch a thing!" "Look, he's walking over here now!" Murray, previously strutting with arrogance, carefully approached Zhang Menglong, his face displaying a flattering smile. "Mr. Zhang, everything just now was a misunderstanding!"
