Chapter 1132 Righteous And Loud, Isn’t He

• Mike had cranked this thing up to a whole new level. He made it sound noble as hell. If you didn’t jump in to “protect the Ark Base,” you were basically declaring war on the whole world. And once those words were out, the Union could stand tall on the moral high ground.
• As long as they could block every hack aimed at breaching the Kyushu Base Organization, nothing would leak. Even if White Cat’s hackers got a few leads—so what? Even if they dumped some Union secrets—so what? As long as the Union flat-out denied it, they’d be fine. The Union could just say those so-called secrets were fabricated. No one could prove otherwise. They were secrets, after all. Proving they were real would mean digging into the original thing itself—and good luck with that. Proving a secret is real? That’s a dead-end loop.
• But if the Kyushu Base’s secrets got exposed? Game over. The Kyushu Base hid plenty of the Union’s arrangements. If those came to light, even a fool could see the link to the Union. If it got out, the hard evidence inside would nail the Union for what it had done on Kyushu soil. If it didn’t get out, everyone could keep pretending nothing happened.
