The Gaelic people of the Ultraman Tiga world

"Yes!"

"However, in this way, the timing does indeed match the 'Shinjuku Incident'."

Picking up where Megumi left off, Munakata, who had just finished exercising, also remarked with a sigh.

"The emergence of the Galvin Group occurred shortly after the 'Shinjuku Incident'."

Just then, Ye Rui, who had been taking meeting notes, suddenly looked up and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"It was indeed somewhat unexpected..."

"In fact, if Ms. Saki hadn't taken the initiative to cooperate, probably no one would have thought that the ruthless President Tony was just a puppet she supported from the outside."

Upon hearing this, even Horii, who usually doesn't pay much attention to these things, took the initiative to express his opinion.

"Perhaps it is not a puppet being supported."

"President Tony and Ms. Saki have more of a cooperative relationship."

"The president is responsible for the overall operation of the Galvin Group, while Ms. Saki is responsible for providing some advanced technologies and concepts."

"After all, President Tony doesn't seem like the kind of person who can be blackmailed. I'm more worried that Ms. Saki is too naive and will be deceived in her feelings."

Silently listening to the increasingly off-topic daily meeting, Daigo, as always, offered no comment.

To be honest, as the only person present who knew the truth, Daigo felt that Horii's prediction of the plot's direction was more like the opposite.

When they learned that Saki had revealed his identity, impersonated the mastermind behind the Galvin Group, and then become an external instructor for the Victory Team.

Daigo's first thought was that Lu Xuan would definitely kill Saki.

Then my second thought was that my sister Saki was really too audacious.

Fortunately, Saki finally managed to persuade the Victory Team and Lu Xuan, thus preventing the conflict between TPC and the Galvin Group from escalating completely.

In Saki's own words, the TPC was, after all, a powerful organization that unified global power.

A wise person will never underestimate the wisdom and potential contained within a rising civilization.

TPC may not have detected the anomalies of the Galvin Group in its early stages.

But as time went on, anyone with a brain who wasn't an idiot would notice that this unusual company was notorious.

There will only be two possible outcomes: either TPC will spare no effort to wipe out the Galvin Corporation and completely eradicate the hidden dangers lurking in human society, or TPC will do everything in its power to do so.

The other scenario involves the Galvin Group using force to intimidate human society until one day this intimidation is broken, leading to a counterattack from the entire human civilization.

Based on Shaji's understanding of Lu Xuan, the latter possibility is more likely.

Therefore, Sagin, determined to remain on Earth, offered a third solution—to fully integrate the Galvin Group into human society.

Lu Xuan continued to appear under the false identity of "Tony Stark".

He then appeared as the behind-the-scenes controller of the Galvin Group, proactively revealing his identity to TPC and seeking cooperation.

In this way, the Galvin Group's goodwill was demonstrated, and a suitable reason was found for the black technology products that would gradually appear in the human world in the future.

Even if one day Galvin Group really falls out with TPC.

TPC is looking for itself, the princess from another planet, not Lu Xuan, its collaborator from Earth.

Lu Xuan, after all, grew up on Earth; this Earth is his home.

It would be rather pitiful if someone were forced to leave Earth simply because of their identity.

But I am different; I will eventually return to my homeland.

Earth is just a temporary stop in my life; even if I eventually leave, I won't be homeless.

With Saki's private conversations echoing in his mind, Daigo ultimately chose to remain silent.

As Saki said, Daigo didn't really want to see the day when Lu Xuan and TPC fell out.

After all, according to Saki's deduction, if the Galvin Group continues to maintain this mysterious and unpredictable image, yet is always able to pull out all sorts of cutting-edge technologies, then it's only a matter of time before Lu Xuan and TPC fall out.

Daigo neither wanted nor was willing to ultimately confront Lu Xuan.

Earth is our home, the home of humankind, and also the home of Lu Xuan, this alien orphan.

So, when Lu Xuan learned the whole truth...

Despite being extremely annoyed, he accepted this established fact after being persuaded by Saki and Daigo.

Even Tomoko, who used to be very keen to contradict Saki, stood up at this time to say that this was indeed the option that best maximized the interests of Lu Xuan and the Galvin Group.

"Speaking of which, why hasn't Xincheng returned yet?"

Just as Daigo was still immersed in his past memories, the topic of the meeting unconsciously shifted to Shinjo, who had not returned to the team for a long time.

"Come to think of it, it seems like it's been about six months since we last saw Xincheng, right?"

"I wonder what kind of secret mission that guy is on. He doesn't even come back to let everyone know he's safe."

"Mayumi has asked me about her brother's whereabouts more than once, which has made me a little afraid to go to the infirmary."

Hearing Horii and Nozue's complaints, Megumi and Munakata exchanged a glance without saying a word, but tacitly refrained from revealing what they knew.

Chapter 290 The Chosen Ones Program

Meanwhile, inside a secret military base of TPC in Kyushu, Japan.

This is a large, specially designed and partitioned conference room with a huge projection screen in the very center.

On this giant projection screen, the various supernatural events handled by the Victory Team over the past two years are listed in chronological order of their appearance.

Among these events, cases related to giants were highlighted and described in particular.

The "Giant of Light" who appeared during the Shinjuku Incident...

The Red Giant incident, where Galvin and Gedi first appeared...

The cosmic giant Dyna appeared in the land of Ultraman Tiga...

The cases of Golza and Melba, two ancient monsters, being resurrected...

The first appearance of the Kirieloids...

A lightning warning event occurred in the South Pacific...

A giant monster in the White Fox Forest of Tokyo, Japan...

The "Rain of Revelation" that awakens supernatural individuals worldwide...

The biological crisis brought about by artificial life and Ebloon individuals...

The Halloween kidnapping case that led to a deeper collaboration between the Alien Princess and TPC...

And Tiga, who has frequently appeared on the front lines of various supernatural disasters in the past six months...

At a glance, the huge screen was filled with information related to Galvin and Tiga, and the details were even more extensive than those of the GUTS team.

"I think everyone understands why we're holding this meeting, right?"

Standing on the main stage, Masaki Keigo, dressed in a suit, had a serious gaze and a cold expression.

"Since the appearance of giants, supernatural events have occurred frequently around the world, and the trend is becoming increasingly serious."

"In order to defend ourselves, we humans must possess the strength to rival giants."

Before Masaki Keigo could continue speaking, Shinjo, who was sitting below attending the meeting, decisively raised his hand.

"As far as I know, giants don't seem to be hostile to humans, right?"

After receiving Masaki Keigo's approval, Shinjo raised an eyebrow lazily and said.

"Does your preconceived notion of taking this opportunity to instigate an arms race?"

Faced with Shinjo's questioning and the confusion of the attendees below, Masaki Keigo explained calmly.

"Leaving aside whether my statement is presupposed or not, and regardless of whether Titans can fight alongside humanity forever..."

"In fact, supernatural events are indeed happening around the world, and at a frequency far exceeding all events of the previous thousand years."

At this point, Masaki Keigo paused slightly before slowly turning his gaze to Shinjo.

"If I remember correctly, you should be the 'suitable candidate' sent by the Tokyo branch to participate in the experiment, right?"

"As expected of a member of the GUTS team, their ideas are surprisingly naive."

"No one ever feels that they don't have enough power, and TPC is no exception."

"Since you agreed to participate in this mission, it means that you agree with this concept to some extent."

"So I hope that from today onwards, you will stop asking similar ridiculous questions."

With a serious and focused gaze, Masaki Keigo's calm voice was filled with an undeniable domineering presence.

"If there is a next time, I will apply to my superiors to have you removed from this mission."

Staring defiantly at Masaki Keigo, Shinjo ultimately refrained from uttering any further rebuttal.

"Alright, does anyone have any questions now?"

After scanning all the participants present with his gaze, Masaki Keigo continued speaking only after confirming that no one had any objections.

"As we all know, there are currently five Titans that have appeared."

"Two of them have been identified by name: Galvin and Tiga."

"Gailvin's name comes from that mysterious black angel, while Tiga's name comes from the ancient murals in the land of Tiga."

"As for the remaining giant from outer space, his name is not yet known."

"But judging from the outcome of the battle in the Land of Tiga, He has most likely already left Earth."

"In addition, there are two giants that exist as stone statues."

"One of the statues was taken away by Galvin and its whereabouts remain unknown."

"Although the other statue was not taken away by Galvin, its head was also damaged."

"Therefore, TPC, through internal discussions and decisions, decided to use existing technology to repair the damaged giant statues and then revive them in a human way."

"Your mission is to participate in the experiment to revive the Titans, and if necessary, you will even have to pay with your lives!"

Although I already knew the details of this mission.

But when Masaki Keigo mentioned the destroyed giant statue, everyone present couldn't help but start discussing it.

“I know that everyone here is an elite from various TPC branches, and they have all undergone six months of adaptive training before being selected by headquarters as ‘suitable candidates’…”

"But I still have to say here that only a few of you will be able to enter the final phase of the mission."

"If there are still those who disagree with the purpose of this experiment, while there is still time, I can apply to my superiors on your behalf to withdraw from this mission."

......................................................................................................

After the meeting ended, Xincheng walked alone in the corridor of the base.

Until Masaki Keigo's footsteps reached his ears.

He then turned to look at the young man who had been chosen to be in charge of this mission.

"Tetsuo Shinjo, if I remember correctly, that's your name!"

Despite being a question, Masaki Keigo, who was standing next to Shinjo, seemed quite certain.

Masaki Keigo was very confident in his memory; he could recite Shinjo's name and even his resume from memory.

"I know you're still bothered by the flight mission a month ago..."

"But the death of the passenger has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to blame yourself for it."

Looking at Shinjo, who seemed completely bewildered, Masaki Keigo went straight to the point.

"Tetsuo Shinjo, I have high hopes for you."

"It's not just because of your excellent driving skills and talent, but also your potential as a 'qualified person'."

"So before the experiment enters its final stage, you should adjust your mindset as soon as possible and stand out from those useless people!"

Before he finished speaking, Masaki Keigo walked straight across the new city and out of the secret base.

"What an annoying guy..."
