Chapter 659: Chapter 658: The Origin of Red Child!

[PS: The second update for today has arrived. As a full-time dad providing for the family, the three of us live off this book. Friends, please support it more, I’d be very grateful!!]

”Mr. President, if you say now is not the time to discuss losses, then what shall we discuss?”

”Yes, all three major military bases in New York City were destroyed overnight. The losses are incalculable, and now there is a massive earthquake in New York City, causing all residents to be in a state of panic. Even with the army deployed, we still can’t stabilize the public’s emotions. If this continues, the consequences are unimaginable...”

”The fierce battle between Red Child and the Eastern Demon has reached a fever pitch. I am very worried that it will destroy the entire New York City. If that happens, our M country’s losses will not only be incalculable, but we will also become a laughingstock to the entire world. Then, our position as the number one superpower could very well be jeopardized!”

Several M country officials were unrelenting as they looked at Hei Bama, as if denouncing a criminal, leaving no room for face-saving. These people had never supported Hei Bama’s presidency, and with this current situation, naturally, they all wanted to push the responsibility onto him. By then, he would definitely not be able to serve another term as president.

The governmental structure of M country is different from other nations. Many officials are divided into factions. Open confrontations and conspiracies are common, and your colleague today could very well be your strongest competitor in the next term. Hence, Hei Bama’s presidency was also not easy.

Seeing these old guys insistently blaming him, Hei Bama furrowed his brow harshly. When there was no trouble, each of them was complacent, but as soon as trouble arose, they were quick to kick a man while he was down, eager to pull him off his horse. However, he could not afford to get angry now, as it would only worsen the situation. Everyone here was a high-ranking official in M country, wielding real power. Maybe Hei Bama could deal with one or two individuals, but if most of the people questioned him, his presidency would practically be over.

”Let’s not be hasty, gentlemen. The situation has become what it is, and it is something that no one could have predicted. I’ve already sent people to stabilize the situation in New York, and besides, Red Child is currently battling the Eastern Demon in the south of New York City. I believe he will certainly kill the Eastern Demon!” Hei Bama said, restraining his rage.

”Mr. President, this incident has caused unprecedented damage to our M country. We must immediately suppress the news and prevent this event from becoming an international laughingstock.”

”Right, the Eastern Demon must die. I didn’t expect such a formidable person to emerge from China. We cannot allow him to leave alive.”

”Gentlemen, have you considered that Red Child is the result of nearly a century of our M country’s scientific research? We still don’t fully understand his power, and we haven’t thoroughly researched some of his bodily functions. Hence, we also don’t know how to control Red Child. What if he goes berserk?”

”This... Dr. Ke Bisai, who was responsible for creating Red Child, has already died. When he died, he said not to use Red Child unless it was absolutely necessary, not until the apocalypse, and not to awake him for combat.”

Just the mention of Red Child caused the high-ranking officials in the large conference room to inhale sharply. Perhaps others didn’t understand Red Child. Even Ye Tianchen only knew that Red Child is an Innate Superpower User with unimaginable power. But as for Red Child’s origins, why such a rare Innate Superpower User would be born in M country when not even apocalypse stars had one, or how such a being could appear on Earth, a planet no longer suitable for Cultivation, were mysteries.

”Red Child is the result of nearly a century of superpower research in our M country. To obtain such power for our use, countless lives were lost. It was difficult to succeed, and any mishaps now would be truly self-destructive research!”

”Actually, I was not in favor of researching this child at the time. I opposed it repeatedly, but you didn’t listen, and now...”

”After being developed, Dr. Ke Bisai also placed constraints on him because Red Child’s power was too great. He also warned us not to casually use Red Child’s power. Now that Dr. Ke Bisai is dead, if anything happens to Red Child, I’m afraid there is no one in this world who could stop him...”

”Mr. President, you used Red Child without our consent, and you must take responsibility for that.”

These high-ranking officials of M country, just at the thought of Red Child’s power, the possibility that he might not be under their control, all began to worry. And naturally, they directed this anxious anger towards Hei Bama because the decision to utilize Red Child was made by him alone, and rightly, he should be the one to bear the responsibility.

”It seems to me that you have all misunderstood the purpose of this meeting and perhaps are worrying unnecessarily, seeing disasters that have not happened. How can this be the right approach?” Hei Bama said with a somber face.

”Mr. President, it’s not that we’re being pessimistic, it’s just...”

”Enough. Do you really want to waste time here? Now is not the time to talk about losses or assign blame,” Hei Bama interrupted the official, speaking coldly.

Many cast a glance at Hei Bama, and although they were extremely displeased, they held back, knowing that Hei Bama hadn’t reached the presidency by being easily overthrown. However, many did not expect that Hei Bama would dare to easily deploy the Red Child, who was a very dangerous entity.

Hei Bama looked at those present and saw that many had calmed down. He understood that this group must be seething with anger but not daring to speak out. If this matter was not handled well, it would incur unimaginable losses for him, and sooner or later, these people would create a ruckus and try to pull him down from his position.

”All right, I know what everyone is worried about. The Red Child is the result of nearly a century of research on Superpower Users by our country. Countless efforts have been made, many people have died, and most importantly, the Red Child is not yet entirely within our control. However, don’t forget that when Dr. Ke Bisai died, he left behind a remote control. He implanted a chip in the Red Child’s mind, fearing that its power would become too great. With this remote control, we can control the Red Child,” said Hei Bama with a smile.

”Having the remote control is indeed a way to control the Red Child, but Dr. Ke Bisai once said that such Superpower Users should never have been born into this world because if they cannot be controlled, the consequences are unimaginable!”

”Enough. With you all being so cautious, how can our country dominate the world? The birth of the Red Child was to prepare for our world domination. It’s not a bad idea to let him get some experience now!” Hei Bama angrily exclaimed.

Looking at the group of senior officials, Hei Bama wanted to dismiss them all and appoint his loyalists, but unfortunately, he had never been able to do so. He had to endure these people’s attacks at this moment, feeling quite foolish as Mr. President.

”The sole purpose of convening this meeting is to have everyone fully cooperate. We must move the citizens of New York City to a safe place, to prevent any harm to others from the battle between the Red Child and the Eastern Demon, and to avoid further losses,” Hei Bama said irritably.

The officials had no other option in the end; after all, the Red Child had already been dispatched by Hei Bama. What could they do? Now protesting against President Hei Bama and discussing losses was futile. Everything would have to wait until after the Red Child had killed the Eastern Demon before they could proceed to the next step.

After seeing the officials leave, Hei Bama clenched his fists in frustration. He hadn’t expected these people to dare to attack him right from the start, almost as if they were ready to pull him down immediately. He could hardly suppress his anger at the thought.

”Mr. President, they’ve all left. What do we do next?” Hei Bama’s confidant walked up to him and asked.

”What to do? We wait for the Red Child to kill the Eastern Demon and then have these people return!” Hei Bama said vehemently.

”These old fellows already know about it. I suppose it will be difficult to push all the responsibility onto you when the time comes!”

”The reason I’ve gathered these old fellows for a meeting now is precisely to forestall that. Otherwise, they would definitely attack me even more viciously later on!” Hei Bama said with a sneer.

”But Mr. President, the matter of the Red Child is indeed concerning. If we cannot control him, the consequences really are unimaginable,” the confidant said with some worry.

”Don’t worry. I’ve already sent someone with the remote control. Once the Red Child has killed the Eastern Demon, we will take control of it,” Hei Bama confidently stated.

Ye Tianchen was unaware of the Red Child’s origins, knowing only that this child, who was eleven or twelve years old, was an Innate Superpower User, incredibly powerful and unfathomable, ruthless and decisive. He did not know that the birth of the Red Child was the fruit of centuries of dedication by his country; that a century ago, his country had begun research on Superpower Users, sacrificing many lives to conduct dissections and studies. They finally identified the strongest among the Superpower Users—the Innate Superpower Users—who from the moment of birth possessed incredible abilities and whose potential for further development was limitless.

To cultivate an Innate Superpower User, to give birth to one, his country established a specialized research organization, sparing no expense to conduct their research, killing many Superpower Users, extracting their genes, injecting them into other Superpower Users, leading to numerous deaths. In the end, after fusing the genes of many Superpower Users, they focused them all into one person, who then mated with a woman to produce the Red Child. Upon being born, the Red Child immediately killed both its father and mother... (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please vote with your recommendations and monthly tickets on Qidian.
