Chapter 162: Chapter 160: Steijie’s Request

After the meeting, Wei Tianyang and Zhao Ling had lunch together, then returned to his villa. Helena Mina had sent many reports about Earth Sea Middle Continent to his phone, and his bedroom laptop was also syncing many graphic and video data.

In the evening, as he sat in front of the computer closely examining those materials, a car engine sound came from outside. The top right corner of the screen displayed the surveillance footage, showing Steijie standing outside without anyone else, which seemed a bit odd.

Wei Tianyang clicked the door open button, letting Steijie in.

The two met in the living room. Steijie took out his phone and pressed it twice, and all the smart devices in the house emitted the sound of turning off.

"I guess you have something you want to discuss with me alone," Wei Tianyang said.

"Sorry, I had to do this... I... have a personal favor to ask of you," Steijie replied, slightly embarrassed, his eyebrows furrowed into a troubled expression.

"You are an official of a nation, what could possibly push you to this extent? By the way... coffee or... brandy?" Wei Tianyang asked.

As he said this, he walked to the cabinet.

"Coffee, please... I don’t drink alcohol at night..." Steijie said.

"Then you’ll have to say goodbye to your sleep," Wei Tianyang remarked.

"I’m used to it... No beating around the bush, about a child... I have an old friend, named Spencer, he’s in Yixu..." Steijie said.

"Trapped in a war zone? Is he from Yixu?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"No, he’s Sethiyan," Steijie replied.

"Well, that should be simple, right? Just extradite him from Yixu. You can do that, can’t you?" Wei Tianyang said.

The coffee beans rattled in the machine, turning to powder, a red light flashing, and the water began to heat up.

"No... It’s not that simple. He’s being held there, a sort of political abduction," Steijie explained.

"Even so, you can’t send an army or a superpower special forces to rescue him? Since when has the Sethiyan Federation been so timid? Back when I was in Chicken Snake Country, Alfred brought PMC to deal with me," Wei Tianyang said with a laugh.

"Damn..." Steijie sank into the sofa, seeming to struggle with something, but finally decided to be upfront.

The water reached the right temperature, and Wei Tianyang placed the cup on the base of the coffee machine and pressed the switch.

"I’ll tell you everything... we actually sent people in already... superpower special forces, a total of eight people, but all of them lost contact..." Steijie said.

Wei Tianyang paused, then said, "It seems... there are formidable characters within Yixu Country."

"Of course there are. They say he is the god mentioned in the holy scriptures... Yixu... must have eliminated our team," Steijie said.

"Yixu...? There are no gods or demons in this world," Wei Tianyang shook his head.

The coffee poured into the cup, its rich aroma filling the air.

He did nothing, yet the machine had taken care of everything.

He picked up the coffee cup, walked over, and sat down across from Steijie, placing the cup on the coffee table.

"Wei Tianyang... I know that guy is not a god. What I’m about to tell you is highly confidential... The active Yisu is actually a religious fanatic injected with Black Medicine. If the nuclear bomb falls into his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable," Steijie said.

"So, does Yixu Country also have Heavenly Falling Objects? And they have the capability to develop Black Medicine? Which company is doing this there?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"There are no Heavenly Falling Objects in Yixu, or rather... the thing didn’t fall from the sky, it washed ashore from the sea... We take this very seriously, so we sent people along with experts to investigate... Initially, we had a cooperative relationship with Yixu Country... But later, once the development of Black Medicine was successful, they detained our people. The whole thing is a black operation, and we don’t want to publicize these matters, so... we’re handcuffed," Steijie said.

He took a sip of coffee, carefully observing Wei Tianyang’s emotions.

"I think I understand... your friend... Spencer, is he also in that team? What does he do?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"He is... well... he is the founder of United Pharmaceuticals... and an expert in Black Medicine," Steijie said, sweat dripping down his back.

The cup Wei Tianyang was holding suddenly developed a crack, and the coffee slowly seeped out, dripping onto the coffee table.

He took a few deep breaths, then stood up and went back to the cabinet. He took out a new cup and poured the coffee into it.

"Steijie, you know, I don’t have a fondness for those pharmaceutical companies," Wei Tianyang said calmly.

He sat back down on the sofa, holding the coffee, and looked at Steijie, slowly saying, "You want me to rescue a pharmaceutical CEO, you have to give me a more compelling reason."

Steijie held his cup with both hands and sighed, saying, "I know what those pharmaceutical companies have done to you, but Spencer is different. United Pharmaceuticals is the largest medical engineering company in the Sethiyan Federation; they don’t just research Black Medicine. They also study drugs that can conquer cancer."

Seeing that Wei Tianyang wasn’t showing him the door, he continued, "Spencer has always been committed to researching the civilian applications of Heavenly Falling Objects. You should know that, 15 years ago, tuberculosis and AIDS were incurable diseases. It was Spencer who found a breakthrough in the extracts of Heavenly Falling Objects and developed a cure for these diseases. Moreover, their drugs are affordable for everyone, and they even opened up the patents!"

Wei Tianyang took a sip of coffee and said, "Why does he have to go to Yixu? Your style as a major power should be to control Heavenly Falling Objects through agents or other pharmaceuticals, and then find an opportunity to conduct research. Why let a pharmaceutical CEO go deep into enemy territory?"

"It’s just that the location where it appeared is not great... the whole area of Earth Sea Middle Continent is filled with religious fanatics... Spencer knows it, and I know it, that thing is not safe in Yixu," Steijie said.

"That thing might not necessarily be yours," Wei Tianyang said noncommittally.

"At least it should be handed over to the right people. The world has come this far because, all the resources are in the right hands... The advancement of technology isn’t something that just happens. Every step forward involves bloodshed," Steijie said.

Wei Tianyang lowered his head, thought for a moment, then lifted his head and said, "I understand. Alright, Steijie, if he is as important as you say, I’ll bring him back."

"Ha!! Thank you so much... Wei, you won’t regret it, his research can save many lives," Steijie breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don’t celebrate too early. If I find out he’s in the same league as Ruan Yu, Hans, and Alfred... I’ll notify you to arrange his memorial service," Wei Tianyang said.

"Hahaha!! Trust me, Wei, just talk to him for a few minutes, and you’ll know he’s nothing like those pharmaceutical people," Steijie said.

Wei Tianyang smiled, said nothing more, and Steijie, having received his promise, exchanged a few more pleasantries before leaving satisfied.
