Chapter 166: Chapter 164: Bloodbath at the President Mansion

Lazarus, atop the Rada Gan statue.

Wei Tianyang was standing on the head of this magnificent statue at the moment, gazing across the entire city, searching for the President Mansion.

It was somewhat laughable, he had originally thought finding the President Mansion would be troublesome, but a simple search for images of Yixu Country President Mansion on his mobile phone revealed that the entire first page of search results were just that and even pinpointed the street.

The building resembled a white sandwich, not very tall, but covering a vast area. Standing at the city’s highest point, he casually glanced around and located the position of the President Mansion.

He had originally mistaken it for a library...

A seagull flew by, perching on the right hand of Rada Gan, cocking its head as if it were looking at Wei Tianyang.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Tianyang asked.

The seagull tilted its head and hopped in place, changing its orientation.

"Head down to the dock and get yourself some fries," Wei Tianyang said with a chuckle.

Having said that, he leaped down and then disappeared into thin air.

President Mansion.

President Niya Ta was in his office preparing to record the next segment of a television speech, with several secretaries nervously revising the speech drafts, and the photography assistant and others were adjusting the equipment. Behind him, two soldiers donned in power exoskeletons stood guard with rifles.

"When does the recording this afternoon start? Send me tonight’s schedule," President Niya Ta said.

One secretary handed him a printed document, saying, "The recording starts in two and a half hours, scheduled for broadcast at 20:00."

"The language must be tough. We have to show the world our determination and unyielding stance! The last speech wasn’t forceful enough," President Niya Ta said.

"How about adding a segment about how we deal with the Azaha soldiers’ bodies, like crushing them repeatedly with tanks until they are indistinguishable from the mud, denying them the possibility to collect the bodies or hold funerals?" the secretary suggested.

"That’s still not enough. Better add in how we eradicate the spawn of demons, like releasing poison gas into schools and attacking maternity wards in hospitals with missiles. And remember, we claim that Azaha are demons, not humans, to the outside world. Make sure to get that right," President Niya Ta said.

"Okay, I will make the changes right away," the secretary nodded and said.

At that moment, the Chief of Staff pushed the door open and entered with a grave countenance.

"What’s the matter? Why so flustered?" President Niya Ta asked.

"Two war observers from the United Council have arrived in Lazarus today," the Chief of Staff said.

"Where are they now?" President Niya Ta asked.

"They have been detained, in an old, decrepit hotel by the seaside. Robson is handling it; we have deployed a platoon there, along with a communication signal jammer. They can’t move freely now or contact the outside world," the Chief of Staff said.

"Good, they should be out of here in four days; you don’t need to tell me about such things," President Niya Ta said.

"Mr. President, should we... um..." The Chief of Staff drew his right hand across his neck.

"It’s not a problem. As long as they stay put in the hotel, and after the time is up, we’ll just send them on their way. Not everyone is worth killing. Besides, since we’ve already agreed to let the United Council send war observers for an investigation, let’s not touch them for now. At worst, they can serve as hostages," the President said.

"I’m very worried that they will uncover that matter," the Chief of Staff whispered.

At this, President Niya Ta’s expression darkened slightly. He thought for a moment and then said to the secretary, "You all go out first, I need to have a word with the Chief of Staff alone."

The secretaries nodded and then signaled the photography team to leave the President’s office.

The room was left with just President Niya Ta, the Chief of Staff, and the two soldiers in power exoskeletons.

"Can they hear us?" the Chief of Staff asked, looking at the two soldiers.

"Their memories are cleared periodically, it’s not a problem. There’s a temporary hitch with the nuclear bomb... The Sethiyan Party secretly sold us the thing, but we only got a single warhead, and we don’t have the means to launch it. We have to resort to the most primitive method: dropping it from an aircraft to detonate," President Niya Ta said.

"But the pollution from a nuclear bomb is just too great. I want more than just the annihilation of the natives; I also want the commercial value of that land. But precisely because I considered for a long time, I gave them a chance..."

"The military committee told me that the nuclear warhead is missing," President Niya Ta said.

The Chief of Staff’s face turned ashen in an instant, "Ah...?"

"Don’t panic, we don’t know if it’s Azaha’s people who stole the nuclear bomb yet, and even if it’s them, there’s no need to be afraid; those savages don’t even know how to use it," Wei Tianyang said. "They don’t have any planes, nor can they air drop a bombing on Lazarus. So..."

"If we really can’t find it, we can make the issue of the nuclear bomb public. After all, it belongs to the Sethiyan Federation, they lost a nuclear bomb, we just tell them it’s with Azaha, and the problem will be easily solved," President Niya Ta said with a smile.

"Then why don’t we just..." The Chief of Staff was puzzled.

"We put a lot into this war, and if the Sethiyan Federation were to enter the fray, our war efforts would be curtailed, followed by intervention from the International Atomic Energy Agency. There are too many people internationally pressuring us to cease fire. As long as there’s a ceasefire, the war ends, and I don’t want to waste money. Therefore, either we have already de facto occupied Azaha, or we confirm Azaha really possesses the nuclear bomb and is planning to use it. Only under one of these two conditions will we make contact with people from the Sethiyan side," President Niya Ta explained.

"The two war observers are now imprisoned there; I will first mobilize the Public Security Bureau and plainclothes officers to search the city for suspicious entrants, perhaps we might find a clue to the nuclear bomb," the Chief of Staff said.

"You go ahead, don’t panic, time is on our side," President Niya Ta said with a laugh.

The Chief of Staff nodded and left the meeting room.

Meanwhile, Wei Tianyang was in the restroom, having already heard all of the conversation.

The nuclear bomb had actually been sold off by the Sethiyan Federation Public Party...

This matter could be reported to Steijie.

Now, he was conflicted about how to take action.

He couldn’t leave traces, couldn’t let members of the United Council associate the deed with him...

He couldn’t use the Annihilator AK, better not to use superhuman abilities, and most importantly, he couldn’t annihilate the opponent—bodies had to be left behind.

After much consideration, he came up with a good idea.

Wei Tianyang teleported out of the restroom, put on a pair of gloves, and went to the kitchen of the President Mansion, secretly taking a chef’s knife and a dinner knife. Then, he made his way to the surveillance room, killed the guard with two strokes, dismantled the computer case, and took the surveillance hard drive.

Next, he teleported once again to the office.

Recording was about to begin; two cameramen were adjusting their equipment, the secretary was placing the speech on the desk, indicating the variations in tone for different paragraphs, and President Niya Ta was already sitting at the table, ready to start—only to start the camera.

And right then, Wei Tianyang suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Who are you?" President Niya Ta was stunned for a few seconds but caught sight of the chef’s knife in Wei Tianyang’s hand, his right hand reaching for the emergency button under the desk.

The two soldiers behind also immediately took action, unlocking the safety of their rifles and aiming at Wei Tianyang.

In the blink of an eye, Wei Tianyang had disappeared.

Then, President Niya Ta was thrown into the air, crashing over the desk onto the ground, while Wei Tianyang, with a reverse grip, drove a knife into a soldier’s neck. With a powerful and close strike, the blade slid into the gap between the helmet and collar, severing the spine and throat, instantly killing the soldier on the spot. Still, the powered exoskeleton remained activated, causing him to stand even in death.

The other soldier had just fired his weapon, but seeing Wei Tianyang disappear and guessing the other was from the Superpower Special Department, he quickly flipped over the table and rushed to President Niya Ta’s side, attempting to pull him up from the ground.

Wei Tianyang reappeared, his right hand wielding the knife, chopped forcefully, severing the soldier’s right arm, but the blade, due to the excessive strength, got stuck in the alloy frame and escaped control from the handle.

Clutching his severed arm in agony and having lost all sensation from it, the soldier turned his left-hand fitted automatic rifle towards the empty space.

The secretary hid behind the desk, terrified, while the two cameramen tried to run, only to be blocked by Wei Tianyang, who flashed in front of the door.

They had seen his face, so they had to die.

Wei Tianyang drew the dinner knife, thrusting it through the cameraman’s eye and directly piercing his brain. He then rapidly withdrew it, grabbed the other cameraman with his left hand, slit his throat with the knife, and shoved him toward the amputee soldier.

The soldier, resolute, fired his weapon, hoping to penetrate the pitiful cameraman and injure Wei Tianyang. Large caliber bullets shattered him, his body like a pork loin slathered in spicy sauce, crashing heavily to the floor, and yet, there was nothing behind him.

Wei Tianyang flashed to the soldier’s left side, grabbed his powered exoskeleton with his right hand which caused an insufficient power warning to sound; his left hand, clutching the dinner knife, stabbed repeatedly into the throat, a total of six times. The blood from the soldier’s throat spurted out like water from a tap, more than a meter away, he took a couple of steps, then stood still.

President Niya Ta crawled towards the office door, by then, alarms were blaring throughout the President Mansion.

Wei Tianyang threw the secretary’s body aside, grabbed President Niya Ta’s collar, and dragged him back in front of the desk.

Neither the President nor Wei Tianyang spoke, for there was nothing to say; President Niya Ta knew his fate, and Wei Tianyang knew what he was doing.

He calmly drove the dinner knife into President Niya Ta’s neck, found the gap in the spine, leveraged it a few times, and made a cross-section. Then with a "Kacha" sound, he forcefully twisted his left hand, separating the head from the body.

He straightened the table, placed the head on it, and then, placing the broken-handled knife to the right of the skull, he disappeared.
