Chapter 494 - - 456 Shang Da Tian Ting_3

“…” Tang Houming looked at Duge, decisively picked up the phone on the table, and dialed a number, “Connect me to the President, I have a very important matter to report to him, it’s extremely urgent. If possible, please ask the President to join the virtual war network, where I’ll explain the situation to him in person.”

Having said that,

he hung up the phone and turned to the office secretary, admonishing, “Secretary Zhang, before we have an outcome for Lin Hong’s matter, you absolutely must not reveal any information about him to the outside.”

…

Fifteen minutes later.

Duge and Tang Houming logged into the virtual war network at the same time and saw the President there.

The President’s avatar was identical to what Lin Hong remembered, and he was using his own real appearance in the network; so was Tang Houming.

The place was arranged like an office.

The President sat behind the desk, glanced at Tang Houming and Duge standing beside him, and pointed to his wristwatch, “Principal Tang, I’m currently in an important meeting, I can only spare five minutes for you.”

“Mr. President,” Tang Houming, not wasting any words, bowed to the President and pulled Duge forward, “The individual beside me is called Lin Hong, his ID in the war network is ‘Kill One Every Ten Steps’, and he has set a record in the network for destroying Phantom mechas without a scratch using the Sea Swallow Mecha.”

“Kill One Every Ten Steps?” The President looked at Duge in astonishment, then smiled, “I’ve heard that name at least ten times today, several army group commanders have requested me to grant server permissions to investigate his true identity, not expecting you would bring him straight to me. Principal Tang, you have done well, resolving a significant issue for me, you may not realize just how complicated the process is to activate the war network’s master server.”

Duge breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, he was decisive in handling matters, otherwise, once these guys found his name through the network, he would instantly become world-famous, unable to remain under the radar anymore.

The President looked at Duge and nodded his approval, “Young man, well done, our planet needs talented kids like you. However, I’m not very skilled at mecha combat. In a bit, I will inform those commanders so you can share your experiences with them, and hopefully, you can help us develop more ace mecha pilots. With that, we will have a greater chance against those damn aliens from the Hil civilization.”

“I will do so,” Duge said with a nod and a smile.

The President chuckled and turned to Tang Houming, saying, “Principal Tang, this doesn’t seem to be an extremely urgent matter! I understand you’ve nurtured a special talent, but writing a report and registering his name would have sufficed…”

“Mr. President, Lin Hong isn’t from our world,” Tang Houming sighed after a glance at the President, “Our planet may well have been invaded by another group of people. I’ve sent his files to your desk; you’d better look at them first. I cannot be sure about the truth of this matter, nor dare to make decisions on my own, thus I used my authority to bring him to meet with you. With the Hil civilization as a precedent, I can’t afford to take this lightly…”

The President frowned, flipping through Lin Hong’s file, mumbling as he read, “Rejected by the Mech Combat Department due to inadequate physical condition and spiritual power, transferred to the Mech Repair Department? Able to perceive surrounding information through sensing?”

Now that he was facing the President, it would be easier to handle.

Duge said with a smile, “Mr. President, in the war network, I haven’t revealed all my combat strength. If I use a higher-level mecha, I am confident I can simultaneously battle twenty ace mecha pilots and annihilate them.

“People like me, there are over a thousand on this planet, all who infiltrated today. We were reborn using the bodies of Green Star people and can read the memories of our hosts, undetectable by any equipment.

“Mr. President, the reason I was so eager to meet you is because our group possesses special abilities. Some have the power to control others invisibly, furthering their unspeakable secrets. If you have such individuals around you and take no precautions, it is very possible they could overthrow Green Star’s government…”

The President’s brows furrowed, not looking at Duge but at Tang Houming, somewhat angrily, “Tang Houming, I need real evidence for such claims, not speculative theories.”

“Mr. President, by the time you’ve thoroughly investigated everything, Green Star will already be in chaos,” Duge shook his head at the President, “I resorted to such an extreme method to meet you to try to stop this before the disaster strikes.

“As you’ve seen, the army group has already been enquiring about my information from you. Revealing this unknown information to you means I will become the enemy of all, hence I must stop you from making my information public.

“This way, I will have enough time to help Green Star handle these situations. As for the proof that you want, Mr. President, just ensure my identity is not disclosed, and I can provide it to you at any time.

“For example.

“I can demonstrate battling twenty ace mecha pilots at the same time right now.

“To my knowledge, not a single ace mecha pilot on Green Star has defeated five peers of the same level.

“This won’t take much of your time, yet it can minimize the disaster. Mr. President, I’ve shown you my sincerity; if you still stubbornly refuse to believe what I say, then let time prove it to you!”

“Alright, I’ll tentatively believe you’re telling the truth, but why are you doing this?” The President set down all the information on Lin Hong he held, his gaze piercing as he looked at Duge, “Your actions have betrayed your own people.”

“They are not my people,” Duge said with a smile, “As a matter of fact, of the thousand-plus people, there are ten different factions, and each faction is hostile to one another. Our mission in coming here is to battle each other to the death until the final victor is determined.”

The President and Tang Houming both knitted their brows.

The President gestured with his hand and said, “You could explain in more detail.”

“No, Mr. President, before that, I feel it’s more pertinent to demonstrate my combat strength to you, to convince you of my identity,” Duge shook his head and said, “Otherwise, you might think I’m just making up stories. After all, you only gave me five minutes, and it’s already been eight.”

“I believe you,” said the President after a moment’s silence, “First tell me about the aliens, and after this matter is clarified, we can verify your combat ability.”
