Chapter 278: Chapter 276: Share Half with You

Wei Tianyang no longer argued, for verbal disputes were meaningless, especially since Zhao Ling, as a ruler, was driven by her yearning for power, which dominated her to seek assistance from the Lingxian Sect and murder her own father...

Such a person could not be swayed by words.

"Don’t overthink, what’s the situation with your right hand now?" Zhao Ling cared more about this.

[His right hand looks in a bad state... If he loses his superpower, he won’t be valuable anymore...]

Wei Tianyang smiled and said, "It’s nothing serious, just... unsightly."

He extended his right arm, which was incredibly stiff at the joints and fingers, but still managed to wield his superpower, as his skin gradually turned iron-gray.

Zhao Ling, bursting with joy, exclaimed, "Their guess was true! You can absorb other special forces’ superpowers!"

Fujiwara Makoto didn’t quite know which expression to wear for a moment, as a flurry of thoughts raced through her mind.

[To absorb someone else’s superpower... He wouldn’t want to kill me and take my place, would he...]

Wei Tianyang finally understood Zoe’s torment.

Being able to know others’ true thoughts at any given moment seemed wonderful at first, but it could also lead to embarrassment upon seeing a familiar person’s unfamiliar side.

In the past, Zhao Ling was like a second mother to Wei Tianyang, but now, in his eyes, she was nothing more than a woman deeply controlled by a desire for power, infatuated with his body yet only seeking to use him for her profound schemes.

He truly understood Fujiwara Makoto’s concerns; after all, she had been deeply deceived by Chiharu and lost her parents. Now she was all alone here, nicely put, under Zhao Ling’s protection, but more crudely said, under house arrest by a foreign ruler.

"What’s Fogen’s stance now? He wouldn’t be issuing a worldwide manhunt for me, would he?" Wei Tianyang changed the subject.

"Forget about Fogen, he’s been ousted. Within a week after the nuclear explosion, the Libitelli cabinet cleared out all his associates," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

"Was it due to media pressure?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Zhao Ling shook her head and said, "Steijie seized the opportunity. He attributed the merit of blocking the nuclear missile to his Superpower Special Department and indirectly exposed the collaboration between Hasegawa Pharmaceutical and Fogen with Lusimin. The Libitelli cabinet cut ties swiftly, and just like that, the issue was settled."

"What’s the situation in the city now?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"Wow, even though it was Brother Yang who stopped the nuclear missile, now the Sethiyan Federation is taking all the credit. Aren’t you angry?" Fujiwara Makoto inquired.

"I don’t care about those things," Wei Tianyang said.

"You’ve done what you should have; don’t worry about the rest," Zhao Ling said.

Wei Tianyang looked at Zhao Ling with a displeased expression.

Zhao Ling sighed and then added, "The city is still under lockdown, and as you know, those citizens can no longer be considered normal humans."

Wei Tianyang closed his eyes and fell silent for a moment.

Hasegawa Pharmaceutical’s experiment had been too thorough, spreading the reagent through the water system, infecting almost the entire city’s population, turning them into half-dead beings, existing in two realities simultaneously, and moreover, they all had the risk of mutation, leaving no choice but to seal them off.

"But this was not a temporary solution; six months had passed, and according to the government’s actions, there was no essential difference between these people and the Medicine People."

He could block a nuclear bomb, but he could not stop the power of the state over its own people.

"The good news is, Hasegawa Pharmaceutical has been sanctioned," Zhao Ling knew that Wei Tianyang was feeling down, so she quickly added.

"Sanctioned? What will be the result? Like Tiantai Pharmaceutical, will they also transform into selling down jackets?" Wei Tianyang said.

"Let’s put it this way, every pharmaceutical company is backed by a country, and research on Black Medicine is lethal; everyone is conducting human experiments. For us, none of this is a secret. It’s just that no one speaks of it openly."

"We turn a blind eye, but it doesn’t mean these things are legal and tolerable. As soon as any pharmaceutical company fails to clean up its mess and exposes the industry’s unwritten rules, it’s doomed," Zhao Ling comforted him.

After speaking, she glanced at Fujiwara Makoto.

"Before they die, many more people have changed their lives because of it, losing their lives," Wei Tianyang shook his head.

"Stop being sentimental. Right now, you are of extraordinary significance. Just like you said, you are the greater meaning! The power you’ve shown has already disrupted the world balance maintained by the Superpower Special Department. The more you kill, the stronger you get, and you’re not controlled by the neutralizing agent, do you know what that means?" Zhao Ling said with a smile.

"Unconstructive destruction is not my intention. This world needs some sort of order... The United Council should have played a bigger role. We need to make sure that power is in the hands of those who want to make the world a better place, I just don’t know how to do that," Wei Tianyang said.

"That’s too easy. I can arrange a multi-nation consultation meeting of the United Council. You can speak through a video, articulate your vision, and I will have someone draft a proposal. Once you show the strength you’ve shown, I believe 90% of the countries will vote in favor," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

"Is it that simple? How would it be implemented?" Wei Tianyang pinched his chin, pondering.

"We need to start by identifying those who want ’to make the world a little better.’ It might take some time. All countries will have to provide a shortlist of people, gather them together, and establish a think tank under the United Council," Zhao Ling said.

Wei Tianyang shook his head, "The approach you’re suggesting is full of opportunities for nepotism and is typical of the politicians—what vote, what election... It’s essentially meaningless," Wei Tianyang said.

"Yang, there are nearly ten billion people worldwide, you can’t possibly screen out the perfect individuals. I don’t believe there’s anyone without any self-interest, especially talented people, they are all driven by benefits," Zhao Ling said.

"I just don’t trust voting. But if this is the only way, so be it. However, this organization should not be under the United Council," Wei Tianyang said.

Zhao Ling showed a troubled expression.

Wei Tianyang was also aware that this approach amounted to creating a new organization with power equal to the United Council out of thin air, something Helena Mina and the member countries would not agree to.

"We can’t overtly overthrow the United Council; it’s not wise. But if we turn this organization into a foundation, it will also lose credibility," Zhao Ling shook her head.

On this matter, Wei Tianyang also had no advice to offer. Gathering all the good people in the world, giving them power and status, was inherently far-fetched.

Wei Tianyang shook his head, showing that the idea wouldn’t work. Zhao Ling also smiled and said, "The future is long; we can search for the answer together."

As Zhao Ling spoke, she looked at Wei Tianyang with deep affection, "You don’t have to think so far ahead, we can... start with Yin Country. Yang... let me be your woman, I’ll give you half of Yin Country!"

Fujiwara Makoto was so startled she covered her mouth and quickly took off her headphones.

Wei Tianyang looked at Zhao Ling; her face was flush to the base of her neck, but not from shyness, but because of irrepressible desire. Zhao Ling’s hand had already reached his abdomen, her body leaning all the way toward him.

In the fireplace, the firewood crackled. Wei Tianyang stood up from his seat and straightened his clothes, saying, "Before you give me half of Yin Country, did you ask the over a billion living there?"
