Chapter 1757: Summit 2

Julian's demeanor toward the attendees, while outwardly courteous, hid a deeper sentiment. His patience for their ignorance and inability to grasp the gravity of the world's situation was wearing thin. Every word he spoke, every gesture he made, was a call to action. 

Yet, many of the so-called leaders of Earth seemed oblivious to the peril looming over them. Instead of rising to the challenge, they squandered the opportunity to be part of the solution. Julian's disappointment was palpable, and there was a growing realization among the attendees: Julian had probably considered a more aggressive stance, perhaps even an outright conquest of their kingdoms to ensure Rome's leadership in this global crisis.
