Across the ocean, a similar discussion was underway in a conference room.
"This aggressive course of action, this public display, is completely inconsistent with Celestial Xia's usual style."
The old man at the head of the table knocked on it and stated his conclusion. "From the Berkeley incident until now, these Extraordinary Beings have helped Celestial Xia bring rain during a drought, rescued people from an airliner, and even saved citizens abroad. Despite all that, they clearly don't have a superior-subordinate relationship with their government."
"This Kabia incident was entirely the fault of an idiot who thought he could force Celestial Xia's hand by holding their workers hostage. Instead, he provoked a terrifying Extraordinary Being."
The moderator chimed in, "Judging from the drought relief, the Mongolian Mine Disaster, the airliner malfunction, and the West Mountain incident a few days ago, they generally only act to save lives."
