Chapter 1820: On the Edge of the Hurricane
On the other side, at the Warner family mansion, Joyce's body had mostly recovered, and she could
walk around normally. Of course Luther did not feel assured, and whenever she went out, he had to
guard her and did not dare leave her side for even half a step.novelbin
He had sent many men to guard the mansions in the city, with shifts changing regularly. The warlord
had also sent professional guards. It was airtight, not even a fly could get in.
This noon, Joyce received a phone call. Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen, showing it
was from overseas with the country code 81, displayed as Rohomes, she had a feeling it must be
Reuben calling her.
Ever since Reuben had left the hospital directly that day and rushed back to Rohomes with Grizela, he
had lost contact. She had worried in between, but after all it was not convenient to meddle in the affairs
of other countries. So she chose not to ask.
If Reuben was looking for her, he must have encountered some trouble.
Joyce hurried to answer the call, "Hello, may I ask who is this?"
"It's me."
It was indeed Reuben's voice.
Joyce quickly asked, "After you left we never heard from you. How are things over there now? Are you
okay?"
Reuben calmly replied, "Not very smooth. Joyce, do you still remember? I said before, that I might ask
to borrow something from you sometime, which could be a burden to you, but I promise I will keep
things under control."
"Yes, I remember," Joyce remembered very clearly, these were Reuben's exact words.
She owed him too much kindness, especially regarding Alisha's matter. Reuben was Alisha's lifesaver.
Although she did not know what Reuben meant by wanting to borrow something.
But their alliance had already formed, she would not decline.
"Whatever I can do, I will surely do my utmost," Joyce assured.
Reuben spoke word for word, "What I'm about to say next might shock you, but please be patient and
hear me out. Joyce, what I want to ask from you are the blueprints for the electromagnetic pulse bomb
design."
As expected, Joyce's eyebrows jerked violently, stunned speechless. Such dangerous stuff, if leaked
out, the consequences were unthinkable.
Reuben continued, "I won't hide it from you, OGW's goal is also related to these blueprints. It concerns
the royal competition in Rohomes, I can't explain it clearly to you for now. I need these blueprints, but I
absolutely won't misuse them. Once these blueprints fall into OGW's hands, the consequences will be
much more severe than now. I really want to assure you with my personality. I will definitely keep these
blueprints safe. But in fact I can't give you a hundred percent guarantee either."
"I understand," Joyce said. She understood, because Reuben could not guarantee his own life and
death. She had not expected that OGW was also coveting these blueprints. Could this be Cloud's
purpose in wanting to capture Anderson? Only now did she finally figure out the connection.
At this time Reuben spoke again, "I can only assure you that I will absolutely not use it for military
purposes. Or any other dangerous ways. I can only guarantee that as long as I'm alive, the blueprints
will be with me. I'm sorry, I know asking this of you is really too much. The electromagnetic pulse bomb
blueprints should be top secret material in the Warlord's faction."
Joyce thought for a while, and decided to lay all her cards on the table, "Reuben, actually this matter is
not quite what you think. In fact, the complete blueprints for the electromagnetic pulse bomb have not
been finished yet. The Warlord's side had exchanged blueprints with me before, we were improving it
together. Originally, for us, the electromagnetic pulse bomb was probably only meant for security uses.
Actually I also know, if you dig deeper into the design, when applied militarily, it would definitely
become a technology that all countries fight to obtain. The personnel involved are all classified first-tier
confidential. I won't hide it from you, I was also involved in the design of this technology. The Warlord's
side had technical personnel working in parallel, and the original prototype of the technology also came
from within the Warlord faction, I only made improvements."
"In fact, I had tried making a simple version of this technology earlier on. It was a metal rod, which
could emit an electromagnetic pulse wave, causing circuit failure, interruption of shortwave
communications, blown fuses, dielectric breakdown, wireless controlled devices failing, alarm control
systems malfunctioning, and even radar would be affected, within a hundred meter radius. You should
have seen it before, when Luther was rescuing Alisha, he had used it before. To interfere with the
electronic lock."
"Oh, so that's what happened. I was wondering why the lock suddenly stopped working by itself."
Reuben's voice sounded comprehending.
Joyce went on, "My original design intent, was to test breaking security systems in reverse. JK
Intelligence had been developing for a long time, but there was still one core technology we never
managed to break through. Because we lacked military talent. Later when I returned to family life, I had
the Warlord faction's technicians help me jointly break through this core technology. Only then was the
simple version finally designed. But Reuben, the real complete electromagnetic pulse bomb you
wanted, this technology is not finished yet, the blueprints are not complete. I'm not making excuses, it's
really not fully ready."
Over the phone, Reuben was silent for a moment.
"I see, don't worry about it then. Let's pretend I never asked today."
Joyce resolutely said, "I know since you asked me, the situation must be critical. So, I've neglected the
design recently, give me some time. I'll delve into it these two days, maybe I can make a breakthrough,
who knows. Then I will give you the blueprints. I believe you will definitely use it for the right purposes.
But this is not something I can decide alone. I need to inform my mother and get her permission."
On the other end of the phone, Reuben was silent again for a moment, "Actually we haven't known
each other for very long. You have no reason to choose to trust me. I shouldn't have made such an
excessive request to you. I overstepped. I'm very sorry. Just now I thought about it, I should handle my
own affairs myself, I shouldn't drag you all into this. Forget it, please be sure to keep the blueprints
safe. Don't let OGW get their hands on it."
Having said that, without waiting for Joyce's reply,
Reuben directly hung up the phone.
"Hello, are you still there? Are you there?" Joyce called out twice, until only the busy tone was left on
the line. Her beautiful long eyebrows furrowed, although Reuben did not ask her for the blueprints in
the end. But she still decided to complete the final sections as soon as possible, then give the complete
blueprints to Reuben.
On the edge of the hurricane, it was impossible not to get sucked in. Even if she wanted to stay out of
it, OGW would not let them be at peace. The best way was for them to defeat it together.
Trusting each other was the first step.
