I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 489 - 487: Control

Chapter 489: Chapter 487: Control

Everyone sat in the room waiting, all silent. They knew He was on this floor, and anything said could be heard by Him, and to speak idly would be disrespectful.

Several minutes passed, and occasionally, the sound of children running could be heard outside the door. Bored, some people began to examine the room’s furnishings.

At first glance, the presidential suite wasn’t eye-catching. The furniture didn’t look expensive, the walls were dim, merely accented with gold stickers, and the glass chandeliers and wooden floors seemed nothing special.

But upon closer observation, one would realize that the gold accents on the walls were real gold, most of the chandelier’s material wasn’t glass but diamond, and the wood of the floor was no ordinary wood. The hotel’s decor was too rustic, hiding the expensiveness of the materials, not to mention the dark gold statue in the lobby, which was not made of bronze but pure gold.

At that moment, the door opened, and a black mountain goat walked in slowly.

The council members were puzzled.

Bunub said, "This is His pet, which has been with Him for many years and has exceeded the normal lifespan of a sheep."

"Are you saying... it has become immortal?" asked a council official cautiously.

Bunub nodded, "I guess it has received His blessing and become an immortal being."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked enviously at the Black Mountain Goat.

Thinking of the children and other guests in the hotel, if one could receive His blessing, they could transcend life and death...

Some had already started to consider booking a stay, but the prices on the official website were a barrier.

Bunub, too, had hoped to become one by His side, but clearly, the time was not ripe yet; he had offered many favors beyond those of a typical businessman. He had waived all taxes and security checks for Pei Guode, did not collect property taxes, and had returned the money from the initial land sale after taking office.

The Black Mountain Goat walked past everyone, scrutinizing them with its black horizontal eyes, then slowly lay down by the bed, looking towards the door.

Bunub and others also looked towards the door, where Wei Tianyang suddenly appeared.

"Let’s start with this President, others are of no value," Baphomet telepathically conveyed.

Wei Tianyang walked into the room and gently closed the door.

He was dressed casually in a black silk bathrobe that, like the decor of the Pei Guode Hotel, had subtle dark gold stripes. His chest was partially bared, revealing firm muscles, and he held a black mug, steam rising from the hot coffee within.

"I heard you wanted to see me," Wei said, looking at Bunub.

Bunub immediately got up and bowed deeply toward him.

"Get up, I said, get up. I don’t like that," Wei waved his hand.

Bunub quickly rose and bowed again.

The others also hurried to stand and bow, resembling vassals from feudal times.

"I have a rough idea of why you have come," Wei walked towards the window.

Then, turning around, his right hand lightly touched Baphomet’s horns.

Bunub closed his eyes, bowing in Wei’s direction, and everyone else remained silent.

They said nothing, but He already knew their purpose.

"Helena Mina is indeed with me here, whether you can take her away depends on if she wants to leave and if you can ensure her safety and fully meet her demands," Wei said.

The council members wanted to speak, but Bunub stopped them.

"The treatment she’s received recently is unbearable to me. She has been treated unfairly," Wei continued.

He looked at these politicians, a look of contempt gradually appearing on his face, but soon, it turned into pity.

How pathetic!

People struggled for their own benefit, resembling packs of wolves in the wild, but after two great wars, nuclear technology, and the arrival of the Heavenly Falling Objects, those who truly controlled wealth and power felt threatened, leading to today’s hypocritical peace.

Humanity had invented politics and trapped itself with its own invention, which proved ineffective in many cases as the ability to negotiate often ultimately depended on the level of force.

These politicians, this black President, Wei Tianyang knew all his ambitions. Before, he did not care, but now, this could be utilized.

"Give me a guarantee, and actually achieve it, then I will let you meet Helena Mina." Wei Tianyang said.

Bunub glanced at the council officials behind him and said, "Swear to Him, with your lives as the guarantee! If you cannot do it, leave now!"

Wei Tianyang waited.

minutes later, he said, "Sadder than lying... is having no courage to lie."

Bunub looked at the council officials with disdain, as if they had deceived him.

He angrily said, "You have wasted His time and embarrassed me."

"We... we were just following orders..." The council official was somewhat nervous.

"Routine procedure." Wei Tianyang said.

The people nodded, as if they had received his understanding.

Wei Tianyang put the cup on the floor, Baphomet bowed its head to drink, and after trying for some time, it accepted the taste of the coffee and liked this bitter beverage.

"Leave, Helena Mina will not go with you." Wei Tianyang said.

Bunub bowed to him again and said, "In the future, I will be more cautious when bringing people to meet you."

"But, you stay behind." Wei Tianyang added.

Bunub pointed to himself and asked, "Me?"

Wei Tianyang nodded.

Bunub was wildly ecstatic inside, but he still tried hard to keep his facial muscles in place, turned around and said, "Let’s go, gentlemen, you have your answer!"

The waitress gently pushed open the door of the room, she made a gesture to invite them, and the council officials could only leave with regret, having prepared extensively for this meeting, speculating over days and nights about what Wei Tianyang might ask or say, and formulating corresponding rhetoric and negotiation strategies.

In the end, Wei Tianyang demanded they swear with their lives, he only wanted one guarantee.

God does not negotiate with humans, nor accept their conditions.

Unable to speak, they could only leave.

In the room, now only Bunub, Wei Tianyang, and Baphomet remained.

"You... asked me to stay, for what matter?" Bunub asked nervously, his mind filled with numerous guesses.

Wei Tianyang said, "You probably know what has happened in Yin Country."

This statement short-circuited him for a moment, but then, he rapidly recalled the matter of Zhao Ling.

"Of course I know, it was a tragedy." Bunub said.

"That incident revealed to me, that a country is best with only one King, no need for succession. He should rule forever, thus ensuring the continuity of policies and completely eliminating political infighting." Wei Tianyang said.

Bunub’s ecstasy was no longer concealable, his waist bent at a 90-degree angle, his mouth nearly splitting to his ears.

Forever King!

Wei Tianyang extended his hand towards him and said, "Bunub, become the eternal King of Etolia, for me."

Bunub, with tears of excitement in his eyes, looked up to see Wei Tianyang, clothed in the light from outside the window, his whole body bathed in deep darkness, that black arm right in front of him.

He knelt on one knee, holding Wei Tianyang’s right hand with both hands, kissed the back of the hand, then placed it on his own cheek.

"I will become... your eternal servant... I will belong to you more than to myself." Bunub said earnestly.

In that moment, a mark was planted in his heart.
