ising her efforts – it absolutely wasn’t labor exploitation.

Watching Natasha cultivate was also a delight.

After teaching her the basics, he basically no longer gave personal demonstrations, and just gave pointers now and then.

Most of the time, he sat leisurely on the couch and watched her perform all sorts of extreme positions on the yoga mat to stimulate her body and circulate chi.

It was the end of September.

Luke had collected most of the key data from the base, and an opportunity had finally come.

Cobra hadn’t been resting on its laurels all this time.
Instead, it had been causing a huge ruckus.

The Eiffel Tower? That was just the appetizer.

Cobra used what happened with the Eiffel Tower to threaten China, America and the European Union; if they didn’t hand over certain supplies to the tune of 100 billion USD, the remaining three warheads would be dropped on an important city in each region.

This was an unprecedented request that was immediately rejected.

But the remnants of the Eiffel Tower was clear for all to see, and NATO also had information on the nanomite warheads.

This was something that Europe and America had produced.

In fact, the warheads didn’t belong to MARS Industries, but to NATO.

All the researchers and key data on this project had always been under the direct control of several important NATO members.

James McCullen, the CEO of Mars Industries, only existed as the manager of the development division

Just like how the United States president didn’t have the right to ask a big company to give him its core technology, McCullen couldn’t touch the technology, let alone make his own warheads.

That was why McCullen had tipped off Cobra to steal the warheads.

He might be a co-conspirator, but the key was that he couldn’t make the warheads.

Nevertheless, he was very ruthless.

When the nanomites were being developed, he had emphasized results, so that the developers would focus on damage output.

The only countermeasure that existed was the control device that had been sent along with the warheads.

This control device was similar to a missile launch code; it could only be set up during production to be used in conjunction with the warheads.

Even if NATO produced another control device, it wouldn’t be able to control the three stolen warheads.

NATO had collaborated with a few countries to jointly develop the nanomite warhead as a deterrent that would be a ‘cleaner and safer’ weapon than a nuclear weapon.

Even if it fell into the hands of some other country, it would act as a deterrent more than anything else.

But what was embarrassing was that such a lethal weapon had somehow fallen into the hands of a terrorist organization.

The other party could threaten them without any qualms, but they couldn’t do the same, because nobody knew where Cobra was.

China, America and the European Union carried out many high-level negotiations for a month and came into contact with Cobra several times, but they couldn’t reach a compromise.

For these big countries, the supplies worth 100 billion dollars wasn’t the issue.

If they gave in to the terrorists this time, the other party would get greedy.

As long as Cobra still had the warheads, a second and third round of extortion would be inevitable.

Thus, the nations’ condition was that Cobra had to hand over the three nanomite warheads.
Otherwise, the countries would rather gamble than pay a ‘protection fee.’

Cobra wasn’t stupid.

If it did that, who knew what the other party would do during the transaction.

Only by holding onto the warheads could they make the countries antsy.

In fact, Luke knew what Cobra’s real plan was.

They would launch the three warheads at the same time as they obtained the supplies, directly destroying three of the world’s top cities and creating huge panic and chaos.

The main point wasn’t how many supplies it could get from the other countries – Cobra’s goal was to create chaos.
