Chapter 388
Rowan said to Trevor, “Since you’re here, why don’t you stay and join us for a while?”
Trevor replied, “Sure.”
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Trevor, Rowan tumed back to Harold, Matthias, and the others and asked, “Where were we just now?”
Matthias answered, “We were discussing how we should appropriately handle the situation if we discover a foreign probe entering our controlled area.”
Hearing this, Wynn couldn’t help but start thinking about too.
Rowan smiled and asked, “What do you think? Cel, do you have any thoughts?”
Earlier, Matthias and Celeste hadn’t had time to really think about it before Trevor and Wynn showed up.
Now that Rowan asked again, Celeste and Matthias both paused briefly.
When Wynn heard Rowan call Celeste by her nickname, she suddenly got distracted.
Cel? Rowan was addressing Celeste so intimately.
Moreover, she noticed that whenever Rowan looked at Celeste, his demeanor was very warm and kind–he genuinely seemed to admire her.
She frowned slightly at this thought.
Just as this crossed her mind, Celeste suddenly spoke up, “We can take control of the foreign probe and then return it to them?”
As soon as Celeste said this, Rowan and Theodore both laughed out loud.
Matthias had a look of sudden realization and gave Celeste a thumbs–up.
Rowan didn’t immediately comment on whether the idea was good or bad. Instead, he smiled warmly and asked, ” You’re that confident in your technical skills?”
Celeste paused, then said, “It… shouldn’t be too hard?”
At this, Harold also laughed and said, “Those who are truly capable always speak with such confidence.
Rowan chuckled and agreed, “Exactly.”
Ceravelle has always advocated peace and maintained good relations with its neighbors.

Whether the foreign probe entered intentionally or unintentionally, since it belonged to someone else, it must be returned.
This would prevent unnecessary conflict between the two sides
However, while this approach appeared gentle and courteous, in truth, it was a strong show of technical superiority.
If they could take control of another country’s probe without triggering its alarm system, it would prove they completely outclassed the other side in technology.
Once the other side found out how it happened, they would be furious but also much more wary of Ceravelle.

At first, Wynn didn’t understand what was so good about Celeste’s answer.
But as she listened to Rowan and the others discussing the technical implications, she finally realized that Celeste’s solution subtly demonstrated the country’s technological strength.
This…
She honestly hadn’t thought of it that way.
Realizing this, Wynn’s expression turned a little unpleasant. However…
Even if Celeste said it so confidently, could she really pull it off?
Or had she simply been hyped up by all the praise from domestic and international netizens for her paper, to the point that she even started believing she was capable of such a feat?
Just as she was thinking about this, she caught a glimpse of Trevor’s expression–it looked like there was a faint smile on his face, as if he, too, appreciated Celeste’s idea.
Wynn was stunned.
Could it be that he really thought Celeste-
At that moment, Theodore suddenly spoke up, “Trevor, it looks like your thinking aligns with Cel’s?”
Trevor said, “Yes.”
Before Wynn could even process this, Theodore continued, “Tell us the advantages of doing it this way.” Trevor then explained the key points.
Only after listening to his breakdown did Wynn fully realize how much careful thought went into it–beyond just technical aspects, there were strategic considerations as well.
Meanwhile, Matthias, Rowan, and even Trevor seemed to immediately grasp all the benefits the moment Celeste had finished speaking.
But she only understood after Trevor spelled it all out.
As she was thinking this, she suddenly noticed Theodore smiling at her and asking, “Ms. Locket, you’ve been frowning the whole time. Is there something you still don’t understand?”
Theodore seemed to have noticed that she had only just caught up with their line of thinking and asked this on purpose.
Even though he asked with a smile and probably meant well, Wynn couldn’t help but feel her face burning.
Still, she quickly composed herself and humbly admitted, “Yes, I only just caught up with everyone’s line of thought.”
