Worlds’ Apocalypse Online - Chapter 297

Chapter 297: Live Election Speech

Gu Qing Shan silently stared at the blood-red glow that flew away.

[Sir, is that really alright?] Impartial supreme-rulerdess spoke up; she sounded a bit worried.

“A boy would have to grow into a man eventually, it’s fine” Gu Qing Shan answered.

[But Mr. Ye Fei Li’s appearance will be revealed]

“No one knows him anyways; we’ll just manipulate the coverage footage a bit later”

[Alright, there’s one more problem sir]

“What is that?”

[The second young master of Wang family, Wang Ming Ze, is about to make his election speech into congress]

“What kind of situation is that?” Gu Qing Shan was surprised.

[Today is the centralized congressman election, every channel in the entire country is broadcasting it live, quite a few big names are present at the scene]

Impartial supreme-rulerdess added: [The Martial Saint and the Sea Emperor are both acting as security in the shadow]

“What kind of bad luck is this?” Gu Qing Shan faced palmed.

Such bad timing.

But Ye Fei Li most likely won’t back down at this point in time, he’s ready to put his all into revenge.

Not to mention, I don’t want to stop him.

Ye Fei Li alone will have to face two of the Confederate’s most powerful Professionists, as well as countless Assault Mechs and Interstellar warships…

He might make a careless mistake.

So many innocent people will also be dragged into this.

It’ll be an unprecedented great battle.

What now?

Asides from stopping Ye Fei Li, the only choice left is for Gu Qing Shan himself to go there to give support.

But my public identity is a Confederate scientist.

Unlike Ye Fei Li, if I show up at such an occasion in my real appearance, the Martial Saint himself will recognize me before anyone else.

And once I’m found out, a lot of things that come after will be much more troublesome.

[Sir, there’s 3 minutes left until Ye Fei Li arrives at the scene of the live election speech] Impartial supreme-rulerdess reminded him.

“Do we have any more genetic appearance modification serum?”

[We’ve used up the stock during the infiltration to the Holy Empire, there’s no time to make new ones]

Gu Qing Shan sighed and could only ask: “My physique isn’t that much different than Ye Fei Li right?”

[You’re 2cm taller than him sir]

“Which is practically nothing” Gu Qing Shan mumbled as he thought.

[Sir, 2 minutes left]

“The Murder Clown armor should be close right?”

[Yes sir, it’s been stored at the nearest orbital station after the latest usage]

“Send it here”

[Yes sir]

The jet black armor, the wings of dark light.

Gu Qing Shan donned the Murder Clown armor, it felt a bit unnatural as he operated it.

[You look very handsome, sir]

Impartial supreme-rulerdess’ voice carried a hint of a smile.

“Don’t tease me” Gu Qing Shan helplessly sighed, “I’m the one that encouraged that guy, so if anything happens it won’t be pretty”

He then wore the Clown helmet.

Behind the cold and stiff smile came Gu Qing Shan’s voice.

“Since I dug this hole, I’ll have to be the one that covers it up”

[You left out the words “hold back my tears”[1]]

Gu Qing Shan angrily shrugged, declaring: “I’m going!”

A dark light flashed as he instantly broke the sound barrier.

The Mech drew two streaks of dark light in the night sky with its wings.

Gu Qing Shan had entered supersonic flight.

[Estimate time of arrival: 53 seconds]

[You will arrive 27 seconds later than Mr. Ye Fei Li]

“Got it, please pay attention to any situations around the scene”

[Understood]

…

The live election speech.

This was a lush green patch of grass right outside the congress building.

Normally, this place is used to organize large press conferences, greeting and receiving international guests, or host government-funded charity events.

The once-every-few-years congress election is also hosted here.

At this time, a dignified young candidate was standing on the stage.

He was giving his speech to all the big names, as well as all the viewers who tuned in to the live TV broadcast.

“I am Wang Ming Ze”

“Throughout 19 counties, after 7 months, 23 debates and winning against 2 very worthy rivals; I’ve used a total of 4 bottles of cough syrup and 2 leather shoes to finally stand here in front of all of you”

His opening caused the friendly laughter and applause from everyone there.

Wang Ming Ze also laughed to follow up, then placed both hands on the podium and continued.

“Yes, there have been many disasters in our world recently”

“But I want to say that the most precious thing for us to uphold has and always will be equality, respect, and the right of women”

A blood-red streak of light descended.

A man with a terrifying pair of skeletal wings appeared, sitting on the podium.

“The right of women? What a great election motto”

The strange man muttered.

He reached out with his finger, which turned into a sharp spike that pierced through both of Wang Ming Ze’s shoulder bones.

Wang Ming Ze instantly started to scream.

Ye Fei Li stared at the young candidate standing before him, as if enjoying his pain.

On his way here, his clothes were already ripped through by birds, then blown away by the wind.

So at the moment, he was half naked from the waist up, covered in a red glow.

Black tattoos appeared all over his torso, being shined on, emphasized by the red glow to appear incredibly eerie.

The crowd started going wild.

“An assailant!”

“Where are the guards?”

“It’s a Professionist, come quickly! Guards!” someone shouted loudly.

All the big names were surrounded by their bodyguards and escorted to safety.

The regular staff members were scattering in fright.

A group of men in black appeared, rushing towards the speech podium.

A few journalists had already ran, but more of them stayed professional, instantly moving into opportune areas around the podium for a good shot.

“Catch him!” someone shouted.

The men in black all came, attacking Ye Fei Li.

Pleww!

A sniper shot without any intention of hiding came.

The bullet hit Ye Fei Li and went out the other side.

Ye Fei Li stood still.

The blood-red glow around him boiled, suddenly expanding to paint the air around him red while spreading outwards.

The blood-red glow quickly isolated the speech podium from everything else around it.

The guards who came attacking were knocked back.

As they fell down, they started moaning in pain.

It was as if something had entered their body when they touched the glow, causing unknown internal injuries.

A few powerful Professionists rushed forward.

But before they managed to do anything, the blood glow turned into a giant hand, easily pressing them down to the ground, unable to move a single muscle.

“A Man Killer Fiend! A very powerful Man Killer Fiend!”

Someone managed to catch sight of Ye Fei Li’s red eyes and screamed in fright.

“No good, he’s too powerful, requesting back up from Interstellar Warships” an officer said into his intercom.

“General Song has given permission; the Interstellar Warships are on their way!”

“Such an overwhelming presence, I’ve never seen such a thing before, maybe only the General can…” the officer felt the intense blood glow from Ye Fei Li’s body and muttered.

He quickly asked: “Where are the Generals?”

“They don’t know; they were still here until just now” his subordinate reported.

The sky above, the giant Interstellar Warship has shown its figure.

This Interstellar Warship was crossing a large river a few miles away from the congress building, slowly approaching.

It contained the entire arsenal of humanity’s strongest weapons, capable of detecting even the most minute movements of any enemy, bombarding them from the sky far away.

Its power is comparable to that of a 5th stage powerhouse.

…

The speech podium.

Wang Ming Ze tried to hold back the pain, stayed calm and asked: “Who are you? I’m sure you and I don’t have any grudges”

“It’s our first meeting, hello, I am Liu Shi Jun’s ex-boyfriend” Ye Fei Li replied.

Wang Ming Ze was stunned, his pupils widened as a layer of cold sweat formed at his forehead.

Ye Fei Li continued: “Seems like you know why I’m here”

“How much money do you want?” Wang Ming Ze spoke in a low voice.

He looked at him, trying to force a smile: “What happened is already in the past, I’ll do everything I can to make it up to you”

Ye Fei Li also smiled.

Then he broke out laughing, a fit of laughter so bad he started to shed tears.

After a while, he wiped the corners of his eyes and spoke: “The girl I love is already dead, she’s never going to return to this world again and you think you can make it up with money?”
