Chapter 402: Just Want You to Feel Noticed
Brother One naturally shook his head; the Chief Instructor position was already agreed upon for Tang Rao, and absolutely impossible to give to an ally nation.
If Tang Rao knew about this, it's unpredictable what Tang Rao would do.
He might simply wash his hands off the matter.
Through Han Wanli, he had already grasped some aspects of Tang Rao's personality; this guy wasn't easy to talk to.
"No, the Chief Instructor position is Tang Rao's, and there can't be any changes to that. I acknowledge the military prowess of the allied nation, but facing the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, conventional military strength is of little significance," Brother One said as he shook his head.
"This isn't a good attitude. In this situation, everyone should work together and share resources. Our allied nation is willing to join the Special Ninth Department and also make joint efforts with Yan Country. However, we also need our own position," Xiao Ao said with a smile.
The allied nation has always been the world leader, and now this incident has already put the allied nation at a disadvantage, being outpaced by Yan Country. If they cannot secure an important position in the Special Ninth Department, future complications may only increase.
"Sir, I remember discussing this issue with you before, and you agreed to a conventional join of the Special Ninth Department. Now, raising other demands, I cannot agree," said Brother One assertively.
"I hope you consider the benefits of both sides."
"This matter has no so-called benefits!" Brother One's voice was cold, "We do this for the future, to prevent this place from being occupied by the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, to protect our homelands from being tainted by others."
"Then, I apologize, our allied nation might consider withdrawing, and what about you?" He looked toward the other heads of states.
Out of the thirty-something leaders, the majority nodded, showing support for the allied nation.
Brother One frowned, not expecting Xiao Ao to renege.
Everything was agreed upon nicely before, and now additional conditions were raised. If not agreed to, they threatened to walk away—what kind of people...
If not for his stature, Brother One would have wanted to curse out loud.
"Indeed, the Chief Instructor is not negotiable, in that case…" Brother One was about to agree to a compromise.
"Since they want to withdraw, let them withdraw," Brother One hadn't finished speaking when suddenly, a voice erupted in the vast conference room.
Following that, a Space Rift appeared and Tang Rao stepped out from it slowly.
The manner of Tang Rao's appearance didn't surprise these leaders much; they had followed Eric to the Moon and had seen the world.
"Tang Rao, come, sit down and talk," Brother One told Tang Rao, pointing to a nearby seat.
"No need to sit, there's still a lot that remains unsettled," Tang Rao shrugged his shoulders and then looked towards Xiao Ao and others, visibly displeased.
"I've been running around these past few days, doing this and that for you, as tired as a dog, and you all are here causing these issues? What positions?! Agree if you agree, leave if you don't— really spoiled your bad tempers. Let me tell you the truth, now, I'm in charge, whoever disagrees, just mark the line. I, Tang Rao, actually want to see whether you are formidable, or I, the former ruler of the Central Emperor Realm, am formidable!" Tang Rao directly burst into a tirade.
Tang Rao was indeed angry because he had truly been exhausted these days, either setting this up or that.
All sorts of Defensive Arrays need setting up, right? Transmission Arrays need constructing, right? Plus all sorts of messy things.
You really think you can negotiate with the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains like this? The local people here don't even know what a Cultivator is, for heaven's sake! If cultivators from the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains come here, wouldn't it turn the world upside down?
"Are you Tang Rao?" Xiao Ao asked, "I really want to know, on what grounds do you think you can be the Chief Instructor, and why do you demand to share all scientific research results. This is an inter-national cooperative organization, at least, our allied nation cannot accept it."
"If you can't accept it, then leave. Inviting you to join was just to give you some presence; you really think you can be of help? With your firearms and ammunition, even the ordinary people of the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains can't be dealt with," Tang Rao said bluntly.
"Young man, don't exaggerate the dangers."
"That's true, human power is limited, how can it compete with firearms and weapons?"
"We in Wuluo Country don't believe this, people of Yan Country, nonsense."
"You think our missiles are made of paper? If you're so powerful here, then let us see!
…
Tang Rao: "…"
"Fine, today, I'll show you whether human power is limited or not!" Tang Rao's eyes blazed, his right hand suddenly swept through the air.
In the next moment, all forty to fifty people present found themselves on the Moon.
"I suppose you've all been here before, so I won't introduce it," Tang Rao said coldly.
"You think human power is limited, right? Fine, I'll show you to what extent human power can reach," Tang Rao looked at Xiao Ao, "You've also been to the moon, set up weapons, right?"
Xiao Ao didn't know why Tang Rao was asking this, but still nodded.
The military power of the allied nation indeed could strike at the Moon.
"Bombard here, I'll show you what human power is!" Tang Rao said.
"This is impossible!" Xiao Ao's face changed.
Tang Rao didn't waste words, directly looking at Brother One.
"Yan Country can too," Brother One said.
"Fire one."
"Done!" Brother One fully trusted Tang Rao.
"Here's your phone," Tang Rao handed Brother One's phone to him.
Brother One was stunned for a moment, is it even possible to connect directly from the Moon?
"Communications are already set up, it will take about five days to reform the atmosphere of the entire planet. By then, the environment here should be hospitable for human living," Tang Rao said.
The group of leaders swallowed hard, life on the Moon possible within five days?
This…
Of course, they had imagined living on the moon, but that was only in their imaginations; they hadn't expected it could be realized so soon.
"Alright, one minute," Brother One had already finished instructing, handing the phone back to Tang Rao.
One minute passed quickly, and soon the crowd saw a light rise in the distant sky.
The light grew brighter and closer.
A peculiar missile came rushing toward them, entering everyone's vision.
Many leaders were already pale with fright; had Tang Rao gone mad, expecting them to die with him? They were all heads of states!
They probably thought this to their own, as for Tang Rao, he really didn't see much difference between them and ordinary people.
Soon, the light was almost upon them.
Only then did Tang Rao slowly extend his hand and lightly tapped upwards.
Buzz!
A faint sound came, and a wave of force pulsed out.
The peculiar missile coming at high speed suddenly slowed down, and finally, just gently stopped right in front of Tang Rao's hand.
The leaders were all a bit dumbfounded; what was this situation?
The missile had just stopped?")
