Vincent listened quietly, his face devoid of any expression.
When Simon finished speaking, the office once again fell into a brief silence.
"Hmm."
Finally, Vincent uttered a short syllable.
He picked up the briefing on the table, casually flipped through a couple of pages, then closed it and pushed it to the side.
"Your analysis makes sense. So continue to keep an eye on this, especially on the developments after the conflict erupts and the international reaction. As for the rest..."
He lifted his eyes, his gaze returning to Simon's face as if his look could penetrate one's soul, "...let them fight it out. We'll just watch quietly."
"Yes, Director! I will keep a close watch."
Simon suppressed the wild joy and relief in his heart, responding respectfully, striving to keep his voice calm and steady.
He turned and walked steadily out of the Director's office.
Once the heavy soundproof door silently closed behind him, a cold smile climbed onto Simon's face impatiently.
