"Everything is within our plan. When the time comes, we can let them be buried in a sea of fire!"
Griffin’s eyes turned to Kaelmes, his face revealing an excited expression. At this moment, Griffin seemed to already envision Lin Beichen perishing in the flames.
Kaelmes smiled slightly, a glint of conspiratorial wisdom flashing under his gold-rimmed glasses.
"This has nothing to do with us. It’s all those damned terrorist organizations’ doing. They attacked our students on campus and caused such an impact on our prestigious institution!"
With just one sentence, Kaelmes set the nature of the events about to unfold. But this explanation was also soon to be the official statement released by Atlantis.
"This guy is really devious!"
Griffin looked at Kaelmes, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.
Yes, even though the other party was one of his own, Griffin still felt fear, because in the other party’s plan, there were only four words: mission accomplished.
Griffin originally believed he was already ruthless enough to achieve his goals by any means necessary, but compared to Kaelmes, he was still far from being as skilled.
In order to achieve his goals, Kaelmes could sacrifice not only his own interests but also the lives of others.
No wonder, even the legendary minister treated this guy with both use and caution, aware that he might sell out those close to him at any moment for some ulterior motive.
"What are you thinking about?"
Kaelmes’ voice suddenly reached Griffin’s ears. Although the other hadn’t lifted his head, Griffin felt as if he was seen through completely, without any defense!
"I’m not thinking about anything."
Griffin instinctively responded, perhaps not even realizing that his body had started tremoring uncontrollably as he spoke.
"Don’t overthink things. As long as you carry out my plan well, it won’t fail..."
At this point, Kaelmes put down the book in his hand and walked over to Griffin slowly.
"But if any problems in your execution cause my plan to fail, then next time, I’ll make you my sacrificial pawn!"
What does it mean to speak the harshest words in the gentlest tone? Kaelmes’ recent actions exemplified this perfectly.
At this moment, Griffin felt like a puppet whose soul had been extracted, nodding lifelessly. Kaelmes, seeing this, nodded in satisfaction before sitting back down on the couch.
Meanwhile, Lin Beichen was surrounded by hosts from major Atlantis TV stations in the gym, having just received his gold medal.
This wasn’t the first time Atlantis had hosted an academic exchange event, but it was the first time Atlantis University had invited students from an Eastern country to participate.
Coincidentally, this first match was won by a genius from the ancient Eastern country, naturally attracting extensive coverage by Atlantis’ major media outlets.
In fact, local media in Atlantis were not unfamiliar with Lin Beichen. Before he arrived in Atlantis, news about Lin Beichen in the Dragon Country had already caught their attention.
However, back then, Lin Beichen was not seen as an influential figure, so Atlantis’ media hadn’t given him early exposure.
If they had known Lin Beichen would win the first match of the Atlantis University academic exchange event, they would have rushed to interview him much earlier.
"What are Lin’s thoughts on winning the first match?"
A reporter from Atlantis’ largest media outlet pointed a microphone at Lin Beichen, with cameras and flashes surrounding him.
Lin Beichen knew very well that his every move was now under the world’s scrutiny; even the slightest slip would be magnified infinitely, ultimately affecting the reputation of the Dragon Country.
"No particular thoughts, just my genuine feelings."
Lin Beichen smiled faintly, exuding composure and confidence in his gestures. His demeanor naturally attracted worldwide approval, and even some girls self-organized as his fans.

"We must register immediately. We are Lin’s classmates, we can’t let this fan club fall into the hands of other schools!"
Atlantis University holds significant influence in global education. Because of this, their academic exchange events are broadcasted on the same channel, so Lin Beichen’s performance was noticed by Imperial Capital University students.
Seeing Lin Beichen win the first match, students of Imperial Capital University cheered immediately.
"I didn’t expect him to become so impressive."
In Imperial Capital Normal University, a pure-looking girl watched Lin Beichen’s interview on TV, her beautiful eyes shining with a unique light.
"I remember you said you were once classmates with Lin Beichen. When he returns, you must introduce him to us!"
