I Am Extraordinary Alone

Chapter 327: Chapter 325: Planning

Rada Gan boarded the plane when the sun was already about to dip below the horizon.

The sacred flame of Heaven Country ignited in the hands of the statues in Yixu City, as he fished out an old cellphone with a cracked screen from his dirty luggage bag and connected to the global network.

The war between the two countries was not the protagonist of the news; all traffic converged on Steijie’s speech that morning as the Federation Governor.

Rada Gan tapped the link, and after the screen whitened for a moment, it finally loaded laboriously. It was a video of about 20 minutes, capturing his entire speech.

Steijie, full of vigor, delivered a commencement address to all the graduates at Georgetown University, with the theme being "Reshaping the Future".

A few days ago, he had forcefully pushed Congress to pass the Federation’s first-ever nationwide firearm ban, an almost impossible feat in a country rife with gun shops.

But Steijie had done it. He waved his fists excitedly, repeatedly declaring his great political asset, with a beaming face and a voice that was both loud and resonant.

"No child will be shot in school anymore, and citizens will not have to worry about being shot in the streets! We have had enough, enough! How many times has such a tragedy occurred? Our so-called right to bear arms has not made us any safer, instead it has given evildoers tools more dangerous than fists and knives!"

"The only beneficiaries are the arms dealers, who profit off blood money but push all consequences onto other industries! We all know this should not be the case."

"Now, the streets riddled with stray bullets will become history, and we will return to the civilized world! Let the military hold the weapons, they will ensure your safety."

Steijie’s speech was well received by the student body, met with thunderous applause and occasional cheers of agreement.

Rada Gan, however, looked incredulous and shook his head, "God, I bet this Governor won’t live long."

After discussing the firearms ban, Steijie turned the topic to freedom of speech and racism.

"We pride ourselves on being a free country, but we all know that when it comes to certain topics, it becomes not so free. We have wasted too much time and money on the Yixu people, granting them privileges, allowing them to control 90% of the domestic media volume. Our movies repeatedly emphasize the suffering the Yixu people endured in the last two wars, repeatedly demanding the whole world, especially the Federation citizens, to give preferential treatment and respect to the Yixu people. Our cultural products continuously ask us to forgive those who harmed us, those who hurt us; why is this?"

"We are a country of immigrants, yet every person that comes to this land, ends up categorized into distinct social classes. We deny proper education to Heisai State natives, just so they remain forever in the service industry working low-end jobs. We do not offer economics and management courses in schools in the Rust Belt, only to keep them working in factories generation after generation, cementing hereditary status."

"We are not a free country; we are a country of conspiracies! With all sorts of means, we artificially adjust the social hierarchy, while in our textbooks, we mock Yin Country’s hereditary monarchy. We need change, we can no longer deceive ourselves like this!"

"The new Sethiyan Federation will rise to greatness again! Only by unleashing everyone’s power can we do this, and you, students, are the future of this country! You have more capability and opportunity than anyone to change the status quo."

Steijie spoke passionately, but Rada Gan turned off the video.

The webpage was filled with news commentary about Steijie’s speech that morning. Some said he was crazy, others said he was a real patriot, and still others said he had the assistance of an even more powerful force, becoming the only Federation Governor no longer under the influence of any power.

Having just flipped the table with the Rifle Association, he had already verbally offended the old Yixu financial powers and political families within the Federation. This remnant Yixu Tycoon in the Federation, far from their homeland, lucky to have escaped the cleansing of the Holy Wars, was now less likely than ever to return.

Only Rada Gan knew what was really going on.

As Rada Gan was on a plane to Heisai State, Wei Tianyang had already teleported to the location where he hid the nuclear warhead.

That dark green warhead was still in that factory within objective reality; because there is no concept of time in objective reality, the thing was as new as when he first saw it.

Wei Tianyang made a call to Yaha’s watch, then placed a hand on the warhead.

Yaha was just a three-year-old child and naturally did not know how to answer the phone, so Wei Tianyang had set it to auto-answer and enabled the speakerphone.

This call was not meant for her to hear.

After the call connected, Wei Tianyang said, "Baphomet, find a secluded open space and pull me back."

As soon as the words fell.

Wei Tianyang and the warhead appeared in a red courtyard tucked away between the mountains of Yin Country.

This place, coincidentally, was where Zhao Ling had brought a death row inmate so that Wei Tianyang could use his power to give Yaha a pair of hands.

The arrival of the warhead crushed a few trees and nearly affected Baphomet. It leaped aside, baring its teeth and grimacing.

In an instant, Wei Tianyang had hidden the warhead back into objective reality.

"That’s something made by the inhabitants here; I think you have no use for it," said Baphomet.

"Everyone knows I have no need for it; that is precisely why I use it," replied Wei Tianyang.

The time to use a nuclear warhead was not now, nor was there a place for it. But what about later? It never hurt to prepare ahead. Everyone knew his power was strong enough to not need a nuclear warhead, but for that exact reason, the havoc caused by the warhead would prevent everyone from thinking of him.

This was an advantage.

Rada Gan had already gone to Heisai State to organize matters for rebuilding the hotel. There, he would face new challenges.

Even after the hotel was built, Wei Tianyang could not go openly; he needed to go incognito, under an alias.

That place would be a secluded paradise for him, Yaha, and people like Rada Gan.

No matter how it was put, Heisai State was not an area considered sufficiently civilized and developed. If the local warlords or government wished to trouble them, Wei Tianyang could not just openly intervene, nor could he afford to reveal his identity.

Therefore, he needed some conventional, weaker forces to provide the hotel with the most basic self-protection capability.

In time, when the hotel was built, he would hide the nuclear warhead underneath it...

Wei Tianyang stood still, planning for the future, while Baphomet could not quite understand his methods.

"You are already at the pinnacle of this Chapter of history, why still bother with such superfluous actions?" Baphomet asked.

"Human society is complex, Baphomet. Unlike you, they don’t fall from the sky; they grow out of the ground. They sometimes wage wars against each other but also cooperate. The real ’pinnacle’ cannot come from fear," replied Wei Tianyang.
