BXBX NOVEL Chapter 361
Chapter 361
Ten thousand tons of gold were being transported from Shanghai Port to New York Port. Although it was an extraordinary operation, the media only covered a few brief articles about it because public attention was fixated on a mercenary. This individual wasn’t the first to set foot on an extraterrestrial planet like Neil Armstrong, but he would be forever recognized as the first person to return from outer space.
“We won a perfect victory with no casualties. Our enemies were helpless as they had no chance of winning.”
I was watching his interview with the Chinese leader who had made a confidential visit to Korea. When I gestured to him to be quiet, the cheers and applause from the interview site became louder and filled the suite. The interview was chaotic, but the hotel staff who were receiving the VVIP would have been the busiest people.
The interviewer asked, “Umm… but where are the others?”
“I came back to just report. It is true that we have successfully occupied the area, but the danger hasn’t been resolved yet. Through operations that govern the occupied territories and quickly establish links with other groups…”
The mercenary appeared to be suppressing his emotions. He wasn’t guilty, but he seemed to be trying to get rid of the excitement he felt from the battlefield.
The mercenaries were responsible for protecting oil drilling facilities and diamond mines in the areas affected by civil war and were sometimes involved in resisting or supporting coups. In the event that their superiors issued orders, they were even required to use lethal force against civilians. Therefore, the battle carried out in outer space was just one of the missions they had to complete as long as they were paid a lot of money.
I said to the Chinese leader while pointing at the mercenary on the television as I needed to clarify something, “You are not the only one who is interested in this. The American and Russian members are all crazy about this, but the civilian population entering the extraterrestrial world will be limited to mercenaries and scientists.”
Our interpreter was Yang Ga-Hye, an Awakened who I had met once before.
The Chinese Leader now found a way to revive his country, whose fate had fallen into the abyss, by using the alien space. He said he would mobilize the entire army if I opened the gate, but that was a foolish display of judgment.
What would be the reason for me using the traditional principles of capitalism to overpower China and entice them into adopting it? If he were to take the next step and delve deeper into my motives for imposing capitalist rule upon the world, then he would realize that it would be inconceivable that I would allow him to throw millions of Chinese into the gate.
