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.

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 strouble.

Joyce hurried to answer the call, "Hello, may | 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? | said before, that | might ask to borrow something from

you sometime, which could be a burden to you, but | promise | will keep things under control."

"Yes, | 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 | can do, | 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 hearout. Joyce, what |

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, | can't explain it clearly to you for now. | need these blueprints, but | absolutely won't misuse them. Once these

blueprints fall into OGW's hands, the consequences will be much more severe than now. | really want to assure you with my

personality. | will definitely keep these blueprints safe. But in fact | can't give you a hundred percent guarantee either."

"l 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 tReuben spoke again, "I can only assure you that | will absolutely not use it for military purposes. Or any other

dangerous ways. | can only guarantee that as long as I'm alive, the blueprints will be with me. I'm sorry, | 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 withbefore, we were improving it together. Originally, for us, the electromagnetic pulse bomb was probably only

meant for security uses. Actually | 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. | won't hide it from

you, | 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 cfrom within the Warlord faction, | only made improvements."

"In fact, | 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. | 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 | returned to family life, | had the Warlord faction's technicians helpjointly break through this core technology. Only then

real complete electromagnetic pulse bomb you wanted, this technology is

making excuses, it's really not fully ready."
