Chapter 162
Chifford was elegantly and methodically making coffee in a quiet and secluded attic. Sitting beside him was an old gentleman with gray hair but a calmi and reserved bearing.
Clifford said. “Thanks to you. Mr. Henderson, things have been settled quickly”
In front of Gregory, Chiffont, who hail always been high–profile and arrogant, appeared humble because Gregory was not just any old guy. Inovicad, he was a big shot in Moonbundland’s authority. He had retired but was still influential
Clifford handed the coffee cup to Gregory respectfully. Gregory took the coffee cup and slowly took a sip..
Then, he smiled faintly and said. “It’s no big deal. You could have sented it alone, but why did you want me to get involved! Do you think 1, the retired man. have nothing to de at home”
Chifend smiled faintly and said. “Indeed. I could settle it myself, but it would take quite some effort. Mr. Henderson, you could get it done with jin
“Recently, people from the organization have been too restless. Mr. Henderson, you need to give them a warning. Only then will those people know how to get down–to–earth”
“Cut it out” Gregory put down the coffee cup and exposed Clifford with one sentence. He said, “It must be Nina insisting you get her friend out as soon as possible, so you mashed here for my help. Do you think I’m clueless!”
Clifford was not embarrassed to have been exposed. He continued to pour coffee for Gregory calmly with a gentle smile on his handsome face. It was a gentle side only when Clifford thought of Nima…
He said. “I had no choice. She was crying then. I could only listen to her and settle it for her as soon as possible.”
Hearing Clifford’s words. Gregory sighed and said, “Clifford, I don’t mean you can’t love someone. Everyone has feelings. But you’ve spoiled Nina too mach. You’re usually raisonal, but you immediately become reckless when it’s about Nina. It isn’t a good sign.
“You’re an outstanding person. You’re the best among the younger generation in intelligence and ways of doing. Even some old fellows in my generation can’t scheme against you, but do you know the barrel effect!
“How big one’s success is doesn’t depend on his abilities, but how much his shortcomings affect him.
Now, who doesn’t know Nina is your weakness! Do you want to expose your shortcomings to your enemies all the time?
“Im sorry for the issue of the war machines. Back then, the situation was chaotic. The decision–makers adopted the transformed human plan to win the stability of the country’s borders with minimal sacrifices.
“To select suitable test subjects most efficiently, the people executing the plan did many inhumane ilings. The chosen kids suffered greatly. As war machines, they made outstanding contributions to protect the country. They are heroes and should be praised and honored by the people.
“However, in the eagerness for success back then, they lost their sense of belonging as humans. Later, as they continued to grow, their destructive power increased.
- c. That was
“They always caused massive damage to us on their missions. It was difficult to estimate the economic losses and human losses every time. why some people hoped to wipe them out
“But I still see those kids as heroes. Our irresponsibility back then led to their current situation, so we cant just blame them for whatever mistakes. they made.
But The die is cast. It’s useless to regret it. We can only figure out something to solve the problem. Therefore, I hope the war machines can Integrate into the lives of ordinary people, accept people, and protect people sincerely.
“Only by solving the problem from the root can we resolve the conflict. We can’t just focus on the immediate future.
“Every time war machines caused trouble, you were anxious to deal with the aftermath for them. If they don’t change, the current situation will never change. Do you understand?”
After listening to Gregory’s words, Clifford’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, “Mr. Henderson, 1 understand your original intentions were good, but what abour Charlie and Jackie!
“Their families are not suitable for them to return. However, someone had dropped the hall and failed to rectify their background, leading to Jackie’s tragedy
“Charlie and Jackie have a special relationship, and Charlie has learned the truth about Jackie, which is another huge hidden danger!
“Some people don’t want them to integrate into the society. They want this group of young people to be wiped out!”

At the mention of this, Gregory sighed again and said, “Clifford, the human heart is the most unpredictable. As for the transformed human plan that the decision–makers adopted back then, they didn’t want to use inhumane methods to achieve it.
“But the people below complied on the surface and did many things that went against the decision makers‘ original intentions for their various goals. This is a predicament that every person in power would encounter since ancient times.
rst them all? A
“I know someone wants to stop war machines from returning to normal society, but so what? Are you going to be a detective and arrest slight move will affect the entire situation. With your current identity, can you do that?”
Gregory said, “This is also what I want to tell you today. You value Nina too much, causing you to immediately abandon everything to help war machines solve their problems if anything happens.
“But you’re a pillar of talent. You shouldn’t use your ability in them only. Many other people need your help. Understand?”
Clifford’s eyes flickered when he heard Gregory’s words. He seemed to be thinking seriously.
However, his gaze became firm as he told Gregory, “Mr. Henderson, I understand you expect a lot from me. But the reason why I stayed in this power vortex from the beginning was because of Nina.
“Without her, there would not be the current Mr. Snee. I’ll do my best to help others who need help. But in my heart, nothing and no one can be more important than Nina
Gregory sighed. “You… Why are you so obsessed with that girl! What’s the relationship between the two of you?”
Gregory vaguely remembered Clifford had a better career path back then, but after knowing Nina’s existence, he gave up the opportunity to reach the core of power quickly
Instead, he worked in the Special Operations Division and became the person in charge of war machines, which proved that Nina must have a deeper relationship with Clifford
Clifford pursed his lips and said nothing. Knowing Clifford did not want to say, Gregory let him be and said, “Since you want to pro
want to protect them, you should see things in the long run. You need to quickly enter the core of power,
“Only then will the enemies fear you and restrain their methods against war machines. Actually, in the second half of the year, another group of old fellows will retreat. By then, I want to recommend you.”
“Mr. Henderson. Clifford looked up.
However, Gregory immediately warned him. “Many people are coveting that position. Although I recommended you, countless people are still watching. So, you’ll have to restrain your actions. You can’t be willful and do whatever you want
Clifford nodded. “I understand, Mr. Henderson….
But before he could finish his sentence, Clifford’s subordinate, Tyrone, hurriedly ran in “Mr. Snee!”
“What’s the fuss?” Clifford frowned and prepared to get up and talk to Tyrone outside.
However, Gregory stopped him and said, “If you have anything to say, say it here”
“Well..” Tyrone was stunned and glanced at Clifford
Clifford looked at Gregory’s unfathomable reaction and pondered for a moment. Then, he looked at Tyrone and said lightly, “Let’s talk bere” Tyrone did not dare to delay any longer. He reported, “I just received news that Nina and Gabriel destroyed the Wrath Force’s diviung“”
