Chapter 540 - 284: Arrival in Anchorage!
So, Lin Yu’an doesn’t mind, in fact, he is extremely eager to have another equally outstanding and unique mistress in his Kingdom.
But all of this must be based on her willingness and clear decision.
Not like now, in a vulnerable night full of dependency, where a relationship may occur that she might regret in the future.
Lastly, and most importantly, Aliya and Emily.
They are the foundation of his family, the source of all his happiness. Any new member must be genuinely accepted and recognized by both of them.
He absolutely cannot, after making a mistake outside, come back to notify and confess to them like a husband who has done something wrong.
If that day really comes, he must solemnly and honestly seek the opinions of his two queens and discuss the future of this family with them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu’an looked at the woman in front of him, who was still immersed in emotions, her cheeks flushed.
All the desires and restlessness in his heart began to slowly calm down, leaving only a kind of patient warmth.
He secretly said to himself, don’t rush, there’s plenty of time in the future!
Lin Yu’an first returned to his senses, looking at Max’s blue eyes, which had become clear with a touch of affection due to the emotions, knowing that now was not the time to indulge in ambiguous atmosphere.
He needed to pull her out of the whirlpool of emotions and let her return to being that rational scientist.
"Alright, Max. Let’s discuss how to win this war."
His voice regained its steady and powerful tone, as if the awkward man who was supporting the tent earlier never existed.
This transformation allowed Max to quickly extricate herself from the emotional whirlpool she was in.
She took a deep breath, nodded, her gaze becoming focused again: "But besides waiting passively for their response, what else can we do? The initiative is completely in their hands."
"No." Lin Yu’an shook his head, his eyes glinting with a strategic light.
"If you only wait passively, you will forever only get results given by others. What we need to do is take the initiative!"
"The initiative is never given by others, it is created by ourselves. When your opponent is countless times stronger than you, going head-to-head is foolish."
"What we need to do is find what they care about most, what is most vulnerable to them, and then put the knife there."
"Then offer them an optimal solution they cannot refuse, leaving them no choice but to go down the path we paved for them."
"As for what they care about most? Their reputation, career, and public image. And I just happen to have the weapons that can utterly destroy these two things."
He looked at Max’s puzzled eyes and began to lay out his plan.
This plan had already been rapidly taking shape in his mind the moment he received the call, and he was continually refining every detail.
"First, our core weapon is not that recording or the old report."
"That recording and report are nuclear bombs that burn jade and common stones alike, serving only as a last deterrent. They can be placed on launch pads but should never be casually pressed."
"Because once the nuclear bomb is pressed, the public opinion will spiral out of control in an instant. Although it will hurt them, it will also turn into an unpredictable melee."
"In that kind of chaos, December is likely to become a victim of political struggle, forcibly taken away or isolated, putting us in a passive position, which does not align with our expectations."
"True nuclear deterrence is always on the launch pad. But the ability to launch intercontinental missiles must be there, and I just happen to have the ability to launch this intercontinental public opinion missile!"
"What I am betting on now is that the pampered officials dare not perish together with us because what they stand to lose is far more than us."
"In their eyes, December is just a commodity, a face, but definitely not something worth risking a political career on!"
Max listened intently, and she could sense that Lin Yu’an was constructing an extremely large and precise plan.
Lin Yu’an explained: "The Discovery Channel has decided to advance the broadcast date, ’Alone in the Wilderness: Frozen Throne’ is about to go online globally soon, with a strong global promotion."
"During this time, the entire process of my encounter with December will appear for the first time."
"Also, next month, I will attend a grand concert at Madison Square Garden as an honorary guest, which will be broadcasted live globally."
"Justin Bieber’s concert?" Max asked, somewhat stunned.
Lin Yu’an nodded, "That’s right, I made quite some US Dollars for Scoot and Justin’s personal investment, so my weight in their hearts is definitely not that of an ordinary friend."
"If I ask during his concert for him to coordinate with me on a public welfare project, they will definitely agree to this request, and may even cooperate on anything I ask."
"So now, we have two trump cards in our hands."
"First, Discovery Channel has the most complete video footage of me rescuing December, which is the starting point of the story."
"Second, I am about to have a top stage that can attract the attention of tens of millions worldwide simultaneously, which is the trigger for the climax of the story."
"Based on these two cards, I have meticulously prepared two paths for Environment Canada and their allies. Or rather, a sword and an olive branch."
"The first path is the sword."
"If they refuse our core demands or offer a so-called custodial agreement full of legal traps, then I will play out the worst-case scenario!"
