Fogen returned to his seat, poured himself a whiskey, and gazed out the porthole at the sea of clouds.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the cabin.
Banlangen knocked urgently at the door and then rushed in.
Seeing Banlangen's anxious demeanor, Fogen spread his hands and posed a baffled gesture.
"President... The nuclear explosion in Lusimin City was prevented..." Banlangen said, his expression complicated and urgent.
"What do you mean? Wasn't the nuclear bomb confirmed to have exploded?!" Fogen stood up.
"The nuclear bomb did explode... but the city was not affected. Spy satellites captured images. The city is enveloped by a strange wall of light. We suspect that it was that thing that blocked the effects of the nuclear explosion..." Banlangen explained.
