Chapter 189: Chapter 187: The Journey Home

"Back into the sea? What does that mean? Could it be alive?" Wei Tianyang was somewhat astonished.

"If I told you it’s alive, would you believe me?" Rada Gan said.

He stood up, holding his golden severed arm, his expression somewhat forlorn.

"If that horse was alive, Spencer couldn’t possibly be unaware of it. How did you get it from Yixu?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"With gold bars," Rada Gan replied with a smile.

"Gold bars?" Wei Tianyang was somewhat incredulous.

"No organization is monolithic, not even a state. The smallest unit of an organization is an individual. Perhaps a few dozen gold bars can’t buy a country, but they’re enough to buy a department made up of dozens of people. As long as there are enough gold bars, I could even buy the life of the President of Yixu. However, you took care of that," Rada Gan said.

"Your gold bars... I fear they will become problematic in a few days," Wei Tianyang said.

"Why? Gold holds its value better than any national currency," Rada Gan said.

Wei Tianyang shook his head; this Rada Gan must have no concept of the international financial system’s early-warning mechanisms, or even know that such mechanisms exist.

The current international currency exchange rates are pegged to the price of gold, and the global gold reserves are finite. Rada Gan’s gold appearing in large quantities on the market would undoubtedly dilute its price. Right now, those who received the gold bars haven’t made significant moves, but as soon as they start converting in large amounts, Rada Gan’s unmarked gold bars will be immediately detected.

However, Wei Tianyang’s knowledge of the global financial system was also very superficial. He had no interest in it and had only heard Zhao Ling mention it briefly, so he could not explain it more deeply to Rada Gan.

Wei Tianyang wanted to ask Rada Gan which pharmaceutical company’s containment facility he had escaped from, but considering the hall was full of soldiers, pressuring him to reveal his identity might worsen his situation in Azaha Country.

It wasn’t yet time to break the myth.

Besides, he already knew what Rada Gan’s superpower was. By asking Spencer later, he should have a clue about his origin.

Right now, Wei Tianyang was only concerned about where the horse had come from and how it had returned to the sea.

"Tell me the last place where the horse disappeared, and I’ll go take a look myself," Wei Tianyang said.

"It was an offshore drilling platform. I spent a lot of money hiding it there, intending to build a research station for Spencer. It’s in the eastern part of Heiside Continent, in the Seychelles Waters of the Irus Ocean... It’s no use going there. Under thousands of feet of deep water, It can go anywhere," Rada Gan said.

"Give me the coordinates; you needn’t worry about the rest," Wei Tianyang said.

"Give me your frequency... I’ll send you the coordinates and the map," Rada Gan said.

Wei Tianyang took out his mobile phone, and Rada Gan tapped his own watch against the phone. A new message appeared on the screen: New contact added.

Wei Tianyang turned to leave, but Rada Gan called out to him.

"Who are you really? Tell me your name," Rada Gan said.

"Call me Ishmael," Wei Tianyang said.

"That’s not your real name, is it?" Rada Gan said with a smile.

"Neither is yours," Wei Tianyang also smiled.

Having said that, he vanished into objective reality.

Watching Wei Tianyang disappear, Rada Gan slowly closed his eyes, hugging his golden severed arm, and began to breathe heavily.

Shana lay prostrate at his feet, daring not to make a sound.

The soldiers also became very quiet, waiting for him to speak.

However, Rada Gan’s state of mind was now disturbed by Wei Tianyang, and he couldn’t play the role of god with a clear conscience as before.

He trembled slightly and said, "Everyone, leave."

Everyone looked at him worriedly; a soldier suddenly spoke out: "Let’s capture him and bring him back!"

Rada Gan opened his eyes, his golden pupils sweeping across the crowd. After a moment of silence, he looked at his golden arm in his embrace and said softly, "He does not exist."

"Huh?"

The soldiers below murmured to each other in surprise.

"Look... He dissipated into thin air... That is... the Eternal Paradise’s response to my arrogance... He is my punishment... From now on... I will shed all my arrogance. This broken right arm is the testimony of my vow."

Rada Gan raised his severed arm high and said, "I am Alpha... I am Omega... I am the beginning and the end... I will give the water of the fountain of life freely to those who are thirsty to drink..."

"Lord Rada Gan is repenting!" Shana shouted to the soldiers at this moment.

All of them fell to their knees, silent, with sincere worship toward Rada Gan.

Meanwhile, Wei Tianyang had already arrived at the predetermined extraction point.

He made contact with Shepherd, preparing to return.

There was nothing left in Yixu and Azaha Country he wanted. The nuclear warhead remained in objective reality, which might prove useful someday.

After about fifteen minutes, the call from the pilot came through the earpiece.

"Owl! This is Shadow! We are about to reach LZ!"

"Received, the surroundings are very safe."

Wei Tianyang watched the grey helicopter emerge from the horizon, circle above his head, and then slowly descend.

Du Ming actually leaned out from the cabin door and reached out his hand to him.

"I thought you had gone back first," said Wei Tianyang.

"They didn’t want to fly twice," Du Ming said with a smile.

He was pulled aboard the aircraft but was surprised to find that Spencer was also still sitting in his seat.

"I hope you found the answers," Spencer said with a smile.

"The answers I found might be a bit different from what you are thinking," Wei Tianyang also smiled.

The helicopter slowly ascended, carrying everyone away from the border of Azaha Country.

Several days later...

In the Lingxiao Palace conference room of Yin Country,

Zhao Ling, Steijie, Helena Mina, as well as the Presidents Fogen and Rees from two countries of the Western Alliance, sat at the table, watching the video on the laptop over and over again.

It was footage of the President of Yixu being assassinated in his office.

The camera angle was low, capturing the legs of the assassin and the President among others, with the audio recorded as well.

To ensure no evidence was left behind, Wei Tianyang had put on gloves and destroyed the server in the President Mansion’s surveillance room. His actions had indeed been clean and efficient.

But as luck would have it... Niya Ta’s political opponent had installed a surveillance device in his office... by a fluke, it managed to capture Wei Tianyang’s assassination act.

"What did Yixu say?" Zhao Ling asked.

"They said it was him and are demanding an explanation, asking us to hand the person over," Helena Mina said.

"That’s impossible," Zhao Ling shook her head.

"On what basis are they saying it’s him? They only saw a pair of legs," Steijie said.

"The pants and shoes match," Helena Mina said, rubbing her forehead.

"That’s not evidence. Those pants aren’t tailored, and the shoes are common," Zhao Ling said.

"Now just between us, are you sure he did it?" Fogen asked.

"I don’t know; don’t ask me," Zhao Ling said.

"Did anyone contact him during that time?" Steijie asked.

"I contacted him right away; he said he didn’t do it," Zhao Ling said.

"And then? Did he mention any other details? Did you press him on it?" Helena Mina asked.

"He just said he didn’t do it. And I don’t think he did. If he wanted to, he could eliminate Lazarus just like how he wiped out Uriang, so why hide if he just wanted to kill a President?" Zhao Ling said.

After Zhao Ling finished, everyone fell silent and all cracked knowing smiles.

Of course, they knew it was Wei Tianyang.

It could only have been him.

But he had considered the United Council before he acted, striving to erase all traces.

For that alone, the leaders in this entire office wouldn’t hold any grievances against him.

"He’s smart. He didn’t say anything else, didn’t explain; he just denied it," Helena Mina said with a smile.

"If he says it wasn’t him, then let’s just say it wasn’t," Steijie said.

"I have no objections," Rees added.

"It’s their internal political struggle; a political opponent ordered the assassination. It just so happened that a United Council war observer was visiting, so they wore the same clothes to confuse matters. That’s how I see it," Fogen said.

Everyone nodded.

"I will apply pressure on Yixu at the next Global Security Conference, urging them to reach a ceasefire with Azaha as soon as possible. If necessary, I will initiate a vote for a compulsory military intervention by peacekeeping forces," Helena Mina said.

"I’ll vote for it, Helena," Steijie said.

Zhao Ling didn’t speak but nodded.

Rees also nodded, and Fogen voiced his agreement.

"Let’s delete this video then; it’s really bad luck," Zhao Ling said.

The laptop snapped shut, and the whole matter was thus concluded.
