Chapter 462 Ambitious Person · Overwhelming Might (Part II)
Carlos remained silent for a long time.
Over the past day, the situation in Wulan State had changed drastically. He had thought of many different endings.
But before Li Tianlan entered the meeting room, he never thought he would die.
Death.
Eternal darkness.
Great shame.
A torrent of abuse.
All of these would fall on him along with his death, followed by a series of words that sounded not good, such as weakness, incompetence, greed, and stupidity.
Everything about him, including his life and reputation, would be completely contaminated and painted black. It was impossible for him to whitewash his reputation.
Under such circumstances, the so-called last words…
“Does it make sense?” asked Carlos.
“It doesn’t make sense.”
Li Tianlan shook his head. “But before you die, if you want to say something, I can be a listener.”
It was the only thing Li Tianlan could do.
He needed the death of someone influential to quell the great change in Wulan State, and at the same time, to completely nail the Jiang family of South America.
The withdrawal of the Jiang family of South America.
The march of Zhongzhou State.
The compromise and concession of Wulan State.
All the charges, inside stories, and shame needed someone to bear.
President Carlos was the best candidate.
His death would make everyone, including the people of Wulan State, have to accept that the Snowdance Corps of Zhongzhou State swept into Wulan State, and at the same time, it could eliminate some international public opinions and pressure.
Li Tianlan had no grudges against Carlos.
But now the general trend was turning against him.
He had no choice but to die.
“Do you dare to kill me?”
Carlos stared tightly into Li Tianlan’s eyes.
Death was close at hand, but it didn’t come. The tension he felt between life and death was like a blazing torrent that rushed into his abdomen, went all the way up, and was squeezed into his mind.
Carlos’s body was shaking slightly, and his eyes were red.
“It was Jiang Qiansong who killed you.”
Li Tianlan whispered, “I tried to save you, but I failed. You were killed by the Jiang family of South America, and I saved Wulan State at the most critical moment.
President Carlos shouted, “Lies! They’re all flimsy lies!”
“Lies are beneficial to rule.”
Li Tianlan’s voice was full of indifference.
“You are such a despicable, cruel, shameless, and hypocritical invader!”
Carlos’s breathing was getting shorter and shorter. “You deserve to die!”
“Mr. President, please pay attention to your words. His Highness and the Zhongzhou State that His Highness represents are the eternal friends of Wulan State.”
Prime Minister Reeker walked over with a wooden tray in hand.
There was a cup of warm coffee and a steak made by the prime minister on the tray.
Reeker respectfully put the tray in front of Li Tianlan, turned around, and looked into Carlos’s eyes, which were burning with anger. He was very calm.
“You can say anything you want to say.”
Li Tianlan cut a piece of steak and put it into his mouth. After he was seriously injured, he lost a lot of blood. After simply treating the wounds, he came to the Office of the President. Now his body was getting colder and colder, and he had almost lost his sense of taste.
He bit the beef seriously and calmly said, “But I have to correct you two. From now on, the Snowdance Corps and I are not friends of Wulan State, but rulers.”
Prime Minister Reeker’s body stiffened for a moment, and then he said respectfully, “You’re right, Your Highness.”
“Prime minister!!”
Carlos’s voice was twisted and crazy.
“You’re wrong again.”
Li Tianlan said calmly, “He’s not the prime minister.”
Carlos glanced at Li Tianlan and sneered, without saying anything.
Li Tianlan nodded and pulled out a very ordinary pistol from his pocket.
“It seems you have nothing to say.”
He raised his hand and threw his pistol at Prime Minister Reeker, but he shouted another identity, “President Reeker, kill him.”
Reeker trembled and caught the pistol, his arm shaking.
Li Tianlan fished out his phone, aimed at the two of them, turned on the video mode, and then focused on eating the steak in front of him.
“This steak is not big enough.”
His soft tone echoed in the conference room, like a devil’s murmur. “Before I finish eating, I will kill both of you if you haven’t killed him.”
Reeker’s shaking palm clenched the pistol and aimed at Carlos subconsciously.
Carlos was pale, but his eyes were burning with anger as he looked at Reeker.
Reeker’s arm was shaking as if he went into convulsions.
At this moment, he may be holding the worst sin of his life, but again, as long as he pulled the trigger, he would get the power that he had never encountered in his lifetime.
“I’m sorry.”
Reeker’s voice was a little hoarse, which appeared ferocious and empty in the enclosed meeting room.
Behind him was the sound of a knife and a fork rubbing against a porcelain plate. It sounded extremely evil.
Reeker took a step forward, his muzzle resting on Carlos’s forehead.
In the crisp sound, Li Tianlan put down his knife and fork.
“Puff!”
The pistol that was equipped with a silencer made a dull noise.
The powerful bullet directly shattered Carlos’s head.
Blood rushed to the ceiling like a red fountain and was extremely gorgeous.
Red blood droplets splattered and splashed into the plate in front of Li Tianlan.
Li Tianlan took a sip of coffee, picked up his mobile phone, looked at the video, and nodded. “It’s clear, would you like to have a look, Mr. President?”
Reeker, who was covered in blood, shook his head with a pale face. He opened his mouth and finally couldn’t help but retch, holding up the trash can in the conference room and throwing up like crazy.
Li Tianlan waited for him to finish before ordering, “There is a Star Flag of Zhongzhou State outside the conference room. Before dawn, I want to see it being hung in the highest and most obvious position in Wulan City.”
Reeker, whose aura was weak and whose face was abnormally red, nodded and said with a trembling voice, “As you wish, Your Highness.”
Li Tianlan nodded, put away the mobile phone recording the scene just now, touched Reeker’s head casually, and said with no expression on his face, “Work hard. I have faith in you.”
After entering the highest hotel in Recchi City and walking into the luxury suite, Wang Tianzong, who remained silent all the way, took the initiative to break the silence and asked, “Do you blame me?”
KingTong, who had been following Wang Tianzong silently, shook her head.
“I didn’t know that Li Tianlan had two murderous weapons.”
Wang Tianzong explained in a very rare way.
KingTong answered with a “Hmm” and looked very docile.
Wang Tianzong turned around and walked to the balcony of the room, looking at the brightly lit Recchi City in the night.
Amidst the countless lights, a building not far from his line of sight was particularly bright. It was wrapped in lights and looked extremely magnificent.
That was the Office of the President, the power center of Wulan State.
At this moment, Li Tianlan should be there.
Wang Tianzong looked in that direction, his face calm.
“He’s pretty good.”
KingTong stood behind Wang Tianzong. She seemed to have completely adjusted her mood, or it could be said that she had deliberately suppressed her emotions. “No wonder Yuetong likes him.”
“Yes.”
Wang Tianzong nodded.
“But he deserves to die.”
KingTong reached out and touched her red lips. Her red lips were plump and enchanting, but the coldness and the smell of death of murderous weapons still lingered between her lips and teeth.
KingTong narrowed her eyes, and a trace of astonishing evil spirit flashed in her golden eyes suddenly.
“Yes.”
Wang Tianzong nodded again.
However, KingTong clearly felt that the other party did not answer her perfunctorily. Instead, he said this sentence very seriously.
KingTong suddenly asked, “If Li Tianlan unleashed all his might tonight, what would be the consequences?”
Li Tianlan’s Martial Arts led to the true road of the Chosen One. From the perspective of his level, his sword intent surpassed that of Wang Tianzong, Deity, and Lin Fengting. Nevertheless, his Sword Energy was not abundant, which resulted in him failing to be all-conquering for the time being.
But tonight, Deity’s Sword Energy merged with Li Tianlan’s sword intent.
That was equal to the fusion of the Chosen One’s sword intent and the Sword Energy of a peak Invincible Realm expert.
The kendo of the two sides followed the same line at the starting point, so that sword stroke was almost equal to the one Li Tianlan would make when he entered the peak Invincible Realm.
Wang Tianzong was very strong.
But at that time, he was caught off guard. If Li Tianlan unleashed all his might when he attacked, the possibility of Wang Tianzong’s being seriously injured instantly was infinitely close to 100%. What would be the consequence then?
KingTong felt a sudden surge of fear.
“It’s hard to say.”
Wang Tianzong remained silent for a while and then said blandly, “If he attacked me with all his strength, he would die, Deity would die, I would be seriously injured, the possibility of my breaking through again would be zero, and I might even fall from the Invincible Realm. The chaos in Eastern Europe would have nothing to do with the Wang family of Beihai and Zhongzhou State then. Beihai could get more than half of the interests of the Li family and the Giant Group, but Beihai would also have to face the hits from countless people.”
It was undoubtedly a very complicated consequence, and the final result was hard to tell with so much complexity adding up together.
But KingTong heard something different from this answer.
She thought it was incredible and couldn’t help but keep her eyes wide open. “You mean, you still have the possibility to continue to break through?”
Now Wang Tianzong had surpassed the peak of the Invincible Realm, and if he broke through again, he could only be the Chosen One!
There was a gleam of surprise in KingTong’s eyes.
“You can still break through at such an age?”
Wang Tianzong shook his head and then nodded. “The realm above the peak Invincible Realm has nothing to do with age. To be precise, Martial Arts have nothing to do with age. Forty years old is a recognized threshold. Nevertheless, over the years, there were people over the age of 40 who entered the Invincible Realm, though few. But as long as there is one, that is enough to explain the problem.
“As for my current state, I can’t describe it in detail, but it is a critical time now. I am not sure if I can take the last step. I still need an opportunity.”
“No wonder…”
KingTong murmured, “No wonder you didn’t fight back tonight.”
Wang Tianzong was about to make a breakthrough. In this case, he naturally had to maintain the best state and silently look for an opportunity.
“That’s not exactly the reason.”
Wang Tianzong said, “In the Dark World today, I can confirm that I am the strongest. But I can also confirm that I am not invincible.”
The words were heavy and bitter.
Wang Tianzong was indeed the strongest, but he was not so strong that no one could threaten him, so he did not fight back tonight.
If he had taken the last half step of Martial Arts tonight, even if he didn’t attack Li Tianlan, at least Deity wouldn’t be able to get away anyway.
Wang Tianzong sighed softly, and his eyes flashed with reluctance.
KingTong whispered, “I believe in you. You can definitely take the last step.”
Her golden pupils sparkled with undisguised worship and admiration, brilliant and charming.
Wang Tianzong smiled, looked at the brightly lit Office of the President in his sight, and remained silent for a long time.
It was a long time before he said slowly, “The deadlock in Eastern Europe is broken.”
His cell phone rang suddenly.
Wang Tianzong took out his mobile phone and took a look.
It was a very brief message, but the content was not simple.
“General Joel is dead.”
Wang Tianzong raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at the mobile phone, and a storm seemed to be brewing in his eyes.
“After the deadlock, another deadlock followed.”
He put away his phone and shook his head. “It’s boring.”
