I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 280 - 278: Preparing the Speech

Chapter 280: Chapter 278: Preparing the Speech

Several days passed.

Wei Tianyang, in his room, routinely opened his computer, intending to inquire about the space station.

At that time, the icon of the built-in SNS software began to flicker.

This software was not the commonly seen civilian social media software but a built-in encrypted communication software for this military-grade computer, which did not require a logged-in account and could only be used on this computer, and in the friend list, there was only Zhao Ling.

What flickered was not an avatar but a small loudspeaker, and when Wei Tianyang clicked on it, he saw a friend request.

The nickname was surprisingly Helena Mina.

He accepted the friend request, and immediately, the other party sent an invitation for a video conference.

After Wei Tianyang clicked the agree button, Helena Mina and Zhao Ling appeared on the screen at the same time.

Zhao Ling was dressed in a white business suit, sitting in her conference room, while Helena Mina, wearing a grey suit, was also sitting in a conference room at the United Council Headquarters in the Sethiyan Federation.

The three of them meeting in this primitive way seemed a bit awkward, as nowadays, mainstream online meetings were conducted through AR glasses.

"Wei! Are you really alive?" Helena Mina exclaimed, somewhat surprised.

"What, do I look like I just saw a ghost? Of course, I’m alive," Wei Tianyang replied.

"You blocked a nuclear bomb... do you know, the highest record at Sky Curtain was just blocking three intercontinental missiles, and afterward, he fell unconscious and was hospitalized for half a year," Helena Mina explained.

"Did Steijie tell you this?" Zhao Ling asked, surprised.

"You don’t need to doubt," Helena Mina replied.

"You’re saying he shared such secrets with you?" Zhao Ling still didn’t believe.

"He and I are close friends; he revealed it during a private meeting one day while we were drinking," Helena Mina hinted.

Wei Tianyang said, "You should already know that I can absorb other people’s superpowers."

"Many people want to meet you, Wei," Helena Mina said.

"I know, they all have their various motives," Wei Tianyang nodded.

"How’s the weather on Sunday?" Helena Mina suddenly asked.

Wei Tianyang was taken aback.

"Stop fucking testing him; he’s not AI, this is a real video conference..." Zhao Ling said, visibly displeased.

"I still can’t believe it... Wei, how are you feeling? You disappeared for six months after that day," Helena Mina asked.

"I don’t feel anything special. As for where I am... I still can’t say," Wei Tianyang shook his head.

Zhao Ling later told him that this was a safe house she had kept for herself, known to very few people throughout Yin Country; he could not possibly leak this location intentionally.

"Zhao Ling’s security measures are good, your background is now a vast grassland..." Helena Mina said.

"Necessary security measures; now not only do some people want to see Wei Tianyang, but many also want him dead. You heard what Rees said at the meeting, right?" Zhao Ling said.

"He can’t keep hiding, and he doesn’t need to hide. Steijie promised to ensure his safety and even had a big fight with Rees over it," Helena Mina said.

"Who is Rees?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"A minor character, not worth worrying about," Zhao Ling replied.

"Stop beating around the bush, when can he report to the United Council Headquarters?" Helena Mina said.

"I think when the time is ripe," Zhao Ling said.

Helena Mina sighed and frowned, "Zhao Ling, he now belongs to the United Council, not to Yin Country. Have you forgotten the agreement?"

"You all just use him as a tool. Only I care about his safety and feelings. When he lay there helplessly after blocking the nuclear bomb, who was it that held him? Who saved him from the Libitelli military? Where were you all then?" Zhao Ling accused.

"Stop being melodramatic. If necessary, I can go to the council now, but I hope there won’t be any problems with the next mission," Wei Tianyang said.

"This is the responsibility of Zhao Ling and Fogen. They broke the agreement, and technically, Zhao Ling no longer has the authority to contact you!" Helena Mina retorted to Zhao Ling.

"The responsibility lies with Fogen. I know what Wei Tianyang wants, so I let this mission happen after Fogen explained the situation," Zhao Ling said.

"We need to establish a more effective monitoring mechanism. I think, from now on, anyone who wants to activate Wei Tianyang needs to let the council’s war observer go to the scene for inspection first. We can’t let him take risks anymore," Helena Mina said.

"If you’ve brought me here just to argue in front of me ... I’m out right now," Wei Tianyang yawned.

"Wei, I just wanted to confirm whether Zhao Ling was lying, and also to tell you something," Helena Mina said.

Wei Tianyang made a ’please’ gesture.

"Some of the leaders from various countries want to hear you speak since this incident was so grave. The external propaganda omitted your existence, but we still told a few crucial allies the truth," Helena Mina said.

"Allies?" Wei Tianyang smiled, perhaps referring to those countries that contribute the most funding to the United Council?

"I’ve told Helena about what we discussed during this time. She’s reserved about forming an elected organization, but she agrees that you can say a few words through a video," Zhao Ling said.

"If possible, it would be more convincing if you could come here in person," Helena Mina said.

"Now is not the time to appear," Zhao Ling kept reminding.

"What I have to say, they might not want to hear," Wei Tianyang shook his head.

"No matter what you say, they want to hear it. They want to know how you view this matter, and with your past experiences... how you view pharmaceutical companies and superpowers. They want to know, and they are willing to make changes," Helena Mina said.

"Who will be attending?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"Besides leaders from various countries, there will also be business leaders, representatives of scientists, sociologists, anthropologists, and heads of major pharmaceutical companies... in short, a selection of the elite class from various countries," Helena Mina said.

Wei Tianyang laughed out loud.

He said, "If it’s just these people, then I have nothing to say. They know the art of kingship better than anyone else, the necessity of evil better than anyone, and they understand that power comes from violence. What can I say to them?"

Helena Mina hadn’t expected Wei Tianyang to respond this way, and for a moment, she was at a loss for words.

"Expand the class of attendees," Zhao Ling quickly perceived Wei Tianyang’s intention and added.

"No problem," Helena Mina agreed without hesitation.

"Workers, office employees, students—would that work?" Zhao Ling said.

"When do you plan to hold this speech? Where will it take place? How many people will participate?" Wei Tianyang asked.

Helena Mina quickly said, "You decide the time. It will be at the AR Grand Hall on the top floor of the United Council Headquarters, which can accommodate 400 people."

"Alright, I’ll go there myself that day," Wei Tianyang said.

"Yang! That would be very dangerous!" Zhao Ling said anxiously.

Wei Tianyang took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair. Looking at Zhao Ling on the screen, he said, "I am the danger."
