"Hmmm..."
When their deputies expressed this opinion, the top five executives of the Holdridge Group groaned because they judged it would be difficult to get their concessions this time."
One of the top executives opened his mouth.
"Aside from that, do you think America can win first place?"
"Yes, I'm sure. If Holdridge, Shaipe, and the US Government join hands and select a dream team of 60 members, we can definitely win 1st place. Even though China and Russia, some European and South American countries have put in great effort so far, it is too hard for them to bridge the gap between them and us."
Austin, the head of the Holdridge's Intelligence Department, who was answering the executive's question, agonized over whether to include Korea as well for a moment because one of the hottest newsmakers these days was a guy named Asirante from Korea.
However, he ruled out Korea because there was certainly a limit to an individual's power.
"Hmm… I see."
