Is it going to be an emergency stop?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille didn’t worry about this at all, they only had two ways to urgently stop this hearing:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was to abruptly announce the stop, but the host of the hearing, although seemingly powerful, was just following a pre-prepared inquiry process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was here to mediate the conflict between the two parties, but now the conflict seemed to be beyond just the two parties!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both parties were completely bewildered!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, due to unexpected circumstances, people from different factions would be confused and suspicious of other parties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take time to unify them again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rhythm was entirely disrupted!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second method was to blow up the building—but if the building got blown up, it would truly be a disaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for cutting power... it was impossible to find someone to break through Gwen’s guard and cut the circuit in such a short time... At the moment, there was no such plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it was done, it would still be abrupt, unexplainable, and full of mystery and eeriness, causing the public to be suspicious of all the current politicians.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frank continued to speak, his voice the only one heard on site.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In simple terms, during his disappearance from the military, he appeared in Afghanistan, serving in a squad called Hellhound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This squad was not on any list, claiming all missions targeted high-value targets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, many missions were highly controversial. According to Frank, they would interrogate and assassinate targets...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these, on the battlefield, could only be considered as humanitarian crises, at least targeting war objectives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his other claims were not—Frank said he had killed a local narcotics officer in Afghanistan and tortured him to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These details were disclosed one by one, and there was silence until the portly politician asked, \"We noticed you said this squad isn’t on any operational list.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know this is illegal? Plus, this seems to suggest you have no evidence to prove what you’re saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contents are just too unbelievable and need more evidence to support your claims...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, Senator Stane.\" Frank nodded, \"Of course, we have combat records, and I have surviving comrades, and...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you don’t get my point! This ends here now! This hearing is about the gang shootout—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And this is the truth, there was no gang, the CIA falsely claimed I was a traitor just to cover up their humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Enough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senator Stane slammed the desk, face reddened: \"Order! Order!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Captain, what you’re saying now will send you to a military tribunal...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I’m not in the military, how can I go to a military tribunal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You... you... fuck!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille watched all this unfold—he had cut off all internal and external communications, and Hydra couldn’t give them any instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The observers looked at each other in dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a script, the politicians here were like children clueless about what to do, scared to make wrong decisions and paralyzed, constantly bickering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without informational superiority... the demeanor they displayed was no more than that of ordinary people, they were all waiting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All were waiting for more information to be delivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The real big shots weren’t here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, after extended bickering, the presiding senator, the portly Senator Stane, banged the gavel, impatiently calling for order!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He forcefully moved to the next agenda!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Order! Due to the lack of more related clues, we need further investigation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearing proceeds to the next agenda, Transhumans! Our next topic is Transhumans!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille Lee, please accept the inquiry! Order! I said proceed to the next agenda! Put your feet down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille shrugged, put his feet down. \"No recess first? I suggest you recess first, I’m not the focus at all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senator Stane was choked by this, his face darkened: \"No! You are the focus of this meeting! It’s about the Transhumans and corresponding technologies appearing in New York!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, the focus was Lille! It was supposed to be about him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since both sides had completed their behind-the-scenes deals, there was no need for such a large hearing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hearing was demanded by Lille and thought up by the opposition to force the ruling party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if a consensus was already reached, and everyone knew the final result... What’s the point of this hearing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was meaningless, then create some meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the week of preparation for the hearing, Lille’s multiple companies had already positioned themselves across the US, although, by his intention, these companies would only list a small part of their shares—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just that small portion of shares could make the opposition politicians who got wind of it beforehand reap great profits!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who wouldn’t want to earn more?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the hearing proceeded normally, the process would naturally transition here, but the opposition didn’t remind Lille!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now... they forcefully shifted the focus, making it abrupt and baffling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s ridiculous.\" Lille clasped his hands, leaning forward, \"Now with such a major international humanitarian crisis, you decide to deal with me, a conscientious entrepreneur, first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t change the subject—at the scene, there appeared including the so-called ’Death Warrior,’ ’Spider Woman,’ and high-tech weapons used by Governor Newsom—\"\u003C\u002Fp>",863,"2026-06-03T12:33:12.909Z","2026-06-03T12:33:19.802Z",1,"novelbin.me","8fbc39e74700de1a6c69ded08aba2ce7071e7c9bf3108b2659973de9433df570","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-283","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-281",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
