Come in.

...Dr. Kal'tsit!

Amiya...

...{@nickname}.

So you've come.

Ahem.

Chief Wei, the other two representatives of Rhodes Island have also arrived.

Ah, excellent.

Please take a seat. Miss Kal'tsit is currently explaining the situation to me.

Allow me to continue then. Mister Wei, I trust that you have a good grasp of the situation already.

Currently, the Lungmen information network captures a lot of information regarding the Reunion Movement. It is good that you recognize the importance of this.

But this alone is not enough. Lungmen still lacks key information.

I believe the L.G.D. knows very well that this simple quarantine is not enough to hold back Reunion.

Reunion will not obediently go through the inspections, nor will they wait for the authorities to take the initiative. That's why...

Without Rhodes Island's assistance, Lungmen will suffer heavy losses against Reunion should you decide to pursue the same strategies against the Infected.

Pardon the interruption.

The L.G.D. understands Lungmen's defenses better than Rhodes Island does. We've already made preparations to deal with possible infiltration from Reunion.

We, however, are not obliged to provide you with confidential information regarding our operations.

Miss Kal'tsit, please continue.

While it is true that Lungmen has been successful in dealing with unarmed Infected so far, you have not dealt with this scale of organized rioting before. This may result in unnecessary losses.

From our experience... Only the Infected are capable of countering the Infected.

To my understand, Rhodes Island has some special expertise in countering Reunion?

We do have experience, but I wouldn't call it expertise.

Oh...?

I've been told that Rhodes Island was involved with the Chernobog incident, and managed to obtain a lot of intel about Reunion.

No matter where you heard that from...

At this stage, that information is not up for exchange. It is but a part of our resume, a qualification that allows us to speak to you, Mister Wei.

It is Lungmen that will decide whether or not we will exchange information. If Rhodes Island cannot even provide us with this level of information...

Hah.

In that case, we simply have no basis for trusting your capabilities.

Mister Wei, I apologise if my words were not clear enough.

What I must emphasize is... the only reason Rhodes Island has this information, is because we were strong enough to obtain it.

Whatever the case may be, Lungmen cannot simply trust another group of Infected.

Miss Ch'en, if you believe that doling out punishment to the Infected is more important than the actual security of Lungmen...

Then I will immediately surrender myself in accordance with your local laws. Then, I will sigh from my jail while watching Reunion burn down your city.

This time, Lungmen doesn't have a choice.

Your good intentions are not lost upon us despite your rudeness.

However, we also are not a charity for useless lobbyists.

Madam Ch'en.

Chief Wei, I believe it is inappropriate for these outsiders to get involved with Lungmen's confidential matters.

Calm down, Madam Ch'en. They are still our guests.

... My guests.

Very well.

Unless they've violated our laws, I will tolerate them, Sir.

Ah, excuse me. I just remembered...

That's right. Hmm...

There is one thing that I care about.

Your ability.

To my understanding, Rhodes Island is also assisting with suppressing the nearby Infected?

Madam Ch'en, based upon your best information, how would you assess Rhodes Island's combat abilities?

... Allow me to describe what I've witnessed from Rhodes Island's operations.

Here are the details...
