"What?"
The Emperor almost thought he had heard wrong. The Alliance Center was actually asking him to return the items?
Wouldn't that mean that Cherrywood would be at others' mercy? Not to mention the massive loss they had incurred this time, the blow to their prestige would be significant once word got out.
The Alliance Minister sighed and explained,
"If you hold onto their things, they have every reason to do whatever they want, even refuse compensation. But if you return the things to them, what excuse would they have then?"
At that point, the International Alliance Center could completely justify imposing sanctions on the Eight countries in Southeast, leaving them aggrieved with no way to object.
Besides, it was clear to him that the Eight countries in Southeast were not bluffing.
If they really didn't return the items, it was likely that they would continue to launch nuclear weapons.
