Chapter 286: Chapter 284 Overwhelming Speech

Twelve days later.

Sethiyan Federation, Georgetown City.

The weather was clear, and the normally bustling street was blocked off due to a political event, filled with military vehicles. From the airport to the road leading to the United Council Headquarters, soldiers patrolled, making it the highest security place in the world.

Ever since Wei Tianyang had decided to give a speech at the United Council, Steijie and Helena Mina had become exceptionally busy.

Not only were they preparing the venue, receiving high-ranking officials from various countries, and ensuring security and service... they were also scheming to snatch Wei Tianyang away from Zhao Ling of Yin Country.

The power that Wei Tianyang had demonstrated in Wuliang City of Chicken Snake Country had already proven his value.

However, that kind of power was not yet overwhelming; many who recognized his value still linked him to nuclear bombs.

And in Libitelli Lusimin City, the abilities Wei Tianyang displayed had shattered this "comparative formula." Now, in this world, there was nothing that could compare to him.

And there was more.

Wei Tianyang had also demonstrated a terrifying potential for growth.

In just four short years from Wuliang to Lusimin, he had transformed from a nearly dead Medicine Person into a massive weapon; what would he ultimately become?

Some feared, some envied, and others worshipped.

Superpowers wanted to control him, almost-superpowers wanted to collaborate with him, and many key regional countries only wished not to have any relationship with him.

At this moment, Wei Tianyang and Zhao Ling were sitting in a car, with a tablet computer on their laps, checking the draft of the speech one last time.

The speech was not long, but after half a month of drafting and revising, he still felt there was room for improvement.

What more could he say? What kind of thing could awaken people’s inherent aversion to war?

Pharmaceutical companies thrived on war; if war could be ended, there would no longer be any Medicine People, and his own tragedy could be put to an end.

It was a beautiful wish, but as Zhao Ling had told him, it was impractical.

But he was already standing here, possessing an extraordinary status. Even if the wish was impractical, speaking it out loud would make it mean something different.

Like Zhao Ling said, draw a line and let them know who you are.

"Almost there, the whole world will know your name, Wei Tianyang," Zhao Ling said with a smile, sitting beside him.

Wei Tianyang thought of his mother; these words were also her wish for him.

He looked at Zhao Ling, whose appearance overlapped with his mother’s, yet Zhao Ling’s previous overreaching actions made it impossible for Wei Tianyang to see her as his mother.

Zhao Ling was ultimately not her.

"Let’s not take the safety passage when we arrive, take me into objective reality," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

Wei Tianyang nodded, placed his hand on Zhao Ling’s shoulder, and the two disappeared from the car.

The bodyguards outside pulled open the car door only to find it empty, immediately triggering a level-three security alert.

However, after a few minutes of hustle, they received new news that Wei Tianyang and Zhao Ling had already arrived at the top-level conference hall of the United Council Headquarters.

The ruse brought a momentary light-hearted mood; Wei Tianyang handed the tablet to Zhao Ling and then positioned himself at the podium of the spacious conference hall.

At 3 p.m., the room would be filled with leaders and elites from various countries. These secularly powerful and successful individuals would listen to him—a person who had never even attended elementary school—speak for more than ten minutes.

It was the first time he had ever felt nervous. Having no prior experience of speaking on stage, he was now given such significant attention. When those hundreds of pairs of eyes looked towards him simultaneously, with what expression would he face them?

Zhao Ling noticed his embarrassment and said, "Do you know what ’advantage negotiation’ is?"

"What is that?" Wei Tianyang asked.

"It’s a strategy to adjust your emotional state during negotiations. Don’t worry about others’ expressions, eye contact, or aura. Clarify three things: what you want, what others want, and the cost of losing interests." Zhao Ling explained.

Wei Tianyang nodded.

"Today, you were dominating the conversation unilaterally; even the President below you doesn’t have the right to negotiate terms with you. Remember that," Zhao Ling said.

"Whether it’s speaking or the subsequent Q&A, you are the dominating party. They might object or disagree, but they cannot coerce you to change. If they don’t share your thoughts, only they themselves will suffer," Zhao Ling added.

"Is this advantage negotiation? I understand," Wei Tianyang replied.

"You have a big flaw, do you know what it is?" Zhao Ling asked.

Wei Tianyang shook his head.

"You possess the power to destroy everything or protect everything, yet you don’t have a matching aura," Zhao Ling said with a smile.

"I may not be quite suited to be like you," Wei Tianyang said, lowering his head with a smile.

"It doesn’t matter, history has many capable ministers and generals who assisted the rulers; a strong organization cannot rely on just one person," Zhao Ling remarked.

"I’m hungry," Wei Tianyang changed the topic, or else Zhao Ling would again propose splitting Yin Country with him.

The two left the conference hall; Helena Mina finally got to see them.

She wanted to find an opportunity to speak with Wei Tianyang alone, but Zhao Ling followed like a shadow. Although reluctant, the three still had dinner together.

At that moment, Steijie was still in the White House. In the conference room, he sat with Shaven and Saint Mary, discussing this event.

The office was signal shielded, putting the three’s conversation in a completely secure environment.

Saint Mary, the new Speaker of the House of Representatives, was a sharp-witted old lady of 62. Proxi had honorably retired earlier this year and now had lost his power.

Shaven represented the New Dawn faction. Though merely a press officer, he dared to speak to Steijie as an equal.

Especially after the incident in Lusimin City, New Dawn had obtained the technological details of the Rebirth Plan and, in secret, tempted many Sethiyan Federation politicians with the prospect of immortality, putting Steijie under more pressure.

"What are the chances now of taking Wei Tianyang from Zhao Ling?" Shaven got straight to the point.

"Not very high," Steijie was frank.

"What has Zhao Ling offered that made her so close to Wei Tianyang?" Saint Mary asked.

"You may not realize, but Zhao Ling is not only an Emperor but also from the Superpower Special Department," Steijie stated.

"So what? Does Wei Tianyang think she has something in common with him?" Saint Mary puzzled.

"Think about it... it means she has the capability to act alongside Wei Tianyang. That’s what she did in Lusimin," Steijie shook his head.

"That’s not how a leader of a country should behave, it’s too dangerous; people with high power wouldn’t gamble with their lives," Saint Mary argued.

"Then you don’t quite understand Zhao Ling. This woman has lived for a century, immensely self-confident; perhaps, she doesn’t think she has any risk to her life," Shaven chuckled.

"Then let’s make her..." Saint Mary began and cautiously looked at both men.

"He’s gotten too close to Zhao Ling, an assassination would only anger him, and Yin Country has suppressed several smaller East Continent countries; a chaotic Yin Country does not accord with our current interests," Steijie decisively refused.

Shaven gave a smile, his expression changed, and he whispered, "Steijie, what do you mean by that? Could it be... you’re in league with Yin Country?"
