Arthur materialised inside the conference room where a single soldier sat at the table, his military cap pulled down over his face in what appeared to be an impromptu nap. The man's relaxed posture suggested he had been waiting for some time.
Arthur smiled at the scene before clearing his throat deliberately.
"Ahem."
The soldier remained motionless, apparently deep in sleep despite the interruption.
Arthur tried again with more force behind his cough.
"AHEM."
The soldier jolted awake frantically, his hat tumbling to the floor as he scrambled to his feet in automatic military response.
"Yes, sir!" he snapped to attention, assuming his superior officer had discovered his unauthorised rest period.
When the soldier's eyes focused and recognised Arthur's distinctive appearance, his nervousness increased dramatically.
"S-Sir Fateless! Excuse me for my earlier behaviour, I was just tired from..." the soldier began explaining his unprofessional conduct with obvious anxiety.
"It's fine, don't worry about it," Arthur replied with casual dismissal of the minor infraction.
The soldier looked grateful before quickly leading Arthur through the government complex toward President Feng's office, his pace brisk and professional, despite his earlier embarrassment. His assignment had been specifically to remain in that conference room until Arthur arrived and then provide immediate escort to the president.
During their transit, the soldier activated his communication device to alert his superior about Arthur's arrival. The message was quickly relayed up the chain of command to President Feng himself.
A few seconds later, Arthur found himself face-to-face with China's leader in the presidential office. The room carried the formal atmosphere of high-level diplomatic meetings, with security measures that reflected the ongoing crisis.
President Feng greeted Arthur with a welcoming smile that reflected genuine pleasure at seeing his most valuable ally.
"To what do I owe this visit, Sir Fateless?" Feng asked with respectful curiosity about Arthur's unexpected appearance.
Arthur's expression grew serious as he prepared to share intelligence that would fundamentally alter China's understanding of the threat it faced.
"I've gathered crucial information about our enemy's true nature through interrogation of captured demons," Arthur began with systematic precision.
President Feng couldn't help but look at Arthur with shock. Interrogating demons? Just how can someone even do that?
"As you know, what we're facing isn't a random invasion—it's organised warfare from an established demonic civilisation."
He proceeded to relay Bloom's findings about the farming of lesser demons, the organised military structure, and the industrial-scale resource management that suggested vast territorial holdings and governmental infrastructure.
President Feng's expression shifted from curiosity to deep concern as the implications became clear. His eyebrows furrowed with worry as he processed the ramifications.
"A demonic civilisation with potentially millions of creatures even more powerful than these?" Feng repeated with growing alarm. "If they possess the organisational capabilities and population numbers you're describing, even with our awakener training, it will be difficult for us to fight back."
The weight of this intelligence was staggering. China had been preparing for contained crisis management, not total war against an enemy whose capacity could potentially produce endless waves of epic-level threats.
"How are we going to survive something of that magnitude?" Feng asked with the grim realisation that their current defensive strategies would need complete revision. "This certainly changes everything about our planning."
The meeting had just revealed that humanity's survival challenges were far more severe than any previous assessment had projected.
Arthur raised his hand in a calming gesture, his voice carrying reassuring authority as he addressed President Feng's escalating concern.
"There's no need to be overly worried," Arthur said with measured confidence. "There's a crucial reason why the demons haven't deployed their most powerful forces yet—it's most likely because they can't. The universe has fundamental limitations on what these entities can accomplish, and they're bound by rules they cannot simply ignore or bypass."
Arthur's explanation drew from his understanding of dimensional mechanics and the systematic nature of the invasion patterns he had observed.
"The gradual escalation we're witnessing suggests they're operating within constraints that prevent them from overwhelming us immediately. If they possessed unlimited deployment capabilities, this war would have ended before it began."
President Feng's breathing steadied as he processed Arthur's reasoning. The logic was sound—an enemy with truly unlimited power wouldn't need farming operations or coordinated lesser demon assaults.
"Despite that reality, we're still not in an ideal situation," Arthur continued with a practical assessment. "With these new coordinated attacks emerging, I'm certain you're struggling to provide adequate protection across China's vast territory."
Arthur reached into his dimensional storage and began withdrawing equipment with casual generosity that defied normal understanding of resource scarcity.
"These items should help your beta players and awakened individuals significantly," Arthur said as he placed one hundred very rare rank items on President Feng's desk.
Most of the equipment was designed for offensive use; they weren't accessories that supplemented, but weapons specifically chosen for their effectiveness against demonic threats rather than general enhancement purposes.
President Feng stared in shock at the fortune spread before him. He understood exactly how scarce, very rare equipment was in the current market, yet Arthur was distributing it like common supplies. A hundred items represented resources that could transform China's entire awareness capability.
Before Feng could fully process the first gift, Arthur continued his distribution.
"And these should help equip your broader awakened population," Arthur added as he produced three hundred rare rank items to supplement the initial offering.
Having eliminated thousands of lower-level demons over the past two days, Arthur possessed thousands of rare rank items through his guaranteed drop talent. Providing three hundred to China represented no significant sacrifice while dramatically enhancing their defensive infrastructure.
President Feng looked at the accumulated equipment with genuine gratitude that transcended diplomatic courtesy.
"Sir Fateless, this generosity exceeds anything we could have hoped for," Feng said with obvious emotion. "These resources will save countless lives and strengthen our ability to protect our people during this crisis."
The strategic partnership between Arthur and China had just received a massive enhancement that would reshape their defensive capabilities entirely.
