Scarlett Jennings returned to the Capital Metropolitan but did not go back to the Academy of Mystique immediately.
Instead, she went directly to the Security Bureau Headquarters.
Coincidentally, Samuel Chalmers was also there.
The Golden Light around Samuel Chalmers had nearly been restored, and he was currently discussing the plan to return to the Azure Sea to cleanse the pollution from the surrounding sea areas.
Scarlett had already guessed Samuel Chalmers’ next move, which is why she hurried back.
She didn’t mind seeing him again, but she no longer viewed him as the Samuel of the past.
Her gaze swept over him briefly and then moved away, turning towards Simon,
"I have an idea regarding the cleansing of the Azure Sea’s pollution."
Simon looked at her, then at Samuel Chalmers seated at the head, and reminded,
"We are discussing this matter, but the cleansing can only be completely controlled by the protector. This time, the Security Bureau is merely acting as an assistant to the protector."
The implication was that whatever idea she had could be directly shared with the person beside her.
Samuel Chalmers also looked towards Scarlett.
Yet Scarlett continued to focus on Simon, speaking to herself,
"The pollution has spread to Cathay’s territorial waters, causing the merfolk to be contaminated internally. Both the Security Bureau and the Mystic Regulation Office have a responsibility to intervene."
Simon nodded and reminded once more,
"The protector is currently preparing to handle this issue."
The founders of the Security Bureau and the Mystic Regulation Office are both here, and you can speak to him directly.
Scarlett just said,
"The Dragon Vein Golden Light can cleanse polluted areas, but as long as Cathay’s nuclear wastewater continues to be discharged into the sea, the cleansing will never be complete. Have you considered this issue?"
She said this still directed at Simon.
Simon had thought about it, not only him but the one beside him had thought about it too.
But isn’t there no other way?
"Let’s hear your thoughts then."
He did not expect her to discuss it directly with Samuel Chalmers.
Then Scarlett said, "Instead of just treating the symptoms, why not address the source?"
Simon responded thoughtfully,
"Are you suggesting we submerge Cathay?"
Simon’s expression grew solemn,
"I’ve considered that approach, but it’s quite difficult to execute... and it also involves international issues."
Scarlett: ...
"Even if Cathay were the source of the pollution, submerging it would not make the pollution vanish; in fact, it would accelerate the spread after submerging. I don’t think this is the optimal solution."
Moreover, such an approach would lead to excessive destruction.
Simon presented his idea seriously, and Scarlett answered seriously.
The two of them were solemnly analyzing the drawbacks and feasibility of sinking the island, while Dashiell, who was just driving them, could not help but look at Scarlett and then at Simon.
Are you serious?
This is about submerging a nation, not a person; could we perhaps not discuss feasibility with such seriousness?
He felt a bit scared.
His gaze shifted to Samuel Chalmers, who had been silently listening to the dialogue between the two, and Dashiell couldn’t help but speak up,
"Samuel Chalmers, say something."
Samuel Chalmers did not mind the way he was addressed, looked at Scarlett, and finally asked the first question since she arrived,
"What is your idea?"
His voice was deep and soft, tinged with inquiry. Scarlett finally looked at him, then shifted her gaze back to Simon,
"I once read in an ancient book from the Academy of Mystique about records regarding the Crippled Heaven Kingdom."
