President Xiupa
"Wait a moment!"
"We... cannot leave the Republic of the Congo now..."
As a group of generals in camouflage uniforms walked around a blond middle-aged man in a suit, the crowd parted to make way for them.
"It's the President!"
"The President has finally appeared!"
"The president is still here, we still have hope, that's wonderful!"
When the group of survivors saw Xiupa, they all covered their mouths in excitement.
Having finally met a figure who was once unattainable, they maintained their reverence as usual, forgetting that the entire Peji City was now destroyed.
By forming an adversarial relationship with V5, the power structure of the Republic of the Congo has been effectively undermined.
Even the military generals who were once considered "big shots" around the president now have no subordinates under their command.
"Oh?"
Ian, unperturbed, stood on the Toy Soldiers's shoulder, watching with amusement as Xiupa spoke.
Do you want to stay here?
When Ian said those words...
Uvogin, Feitan, and the others were ready, their faces sneer, poised to rush down at any moment and silence their opponent forever, burying them in this land.
Although Xiupa was somewhat comical, he was able to become the president of a country thanks to his exceptional political talent.
He still has the necessary insight.
Whether observing the outside world from the shelter or witnessing the dozens of enormous Red Giants before him, he understood one thing.
In reality... they had absolutely no right to refuse!
As a politician, he naturally understands better what true power of discourse is!
To put it bluntly, only by relying on great power can one have a voice.
The reason why any rule issued by V5 can be treated with caution by all countries in the world is precisely because V5, when united, possesses the strongest army and weapons.
The reason why Xiupa said that was, of course, intentional... to attract the attention of the group of people in front of him!
The Republic of the Congo... has essentially disappeared...
After all, even if Xiupa himself thought about it for a moment, he would understand that V5 would not allow such a scandal to occur; they would rather completely destroy the Republic of the Congo.
Nor will they allow their people to live in hatred, documenting V5's actions against the country.
Therefore...
They didn't have many options to begin with.
Xiupa had already placed all his bets on this group of people; he didn't believe they were helping them for no reason.
How can a former president maintain his former status?
Xiupa racked his brains over this matter, and finally... he came up with an idea!
That's why he had to risk being crushed to death by a single finger of the giant just to attract its attention!
"Your Excellency, I was once the president of this country..."
"But now... I'm nothing more than a commoner of a vanquished nation..."
Xiupa gave a wry smile.
Upon hearing his words, the survivors around him all showed expressions of sadness, but at this moment, Xiupa spoke with a firm gaze.
"Even so, I still have to say... the Republic of the Congo is a unified whole!"
"We should not be divided!"
"If you only take us and not the rest of the people from the other cities, I'm afraid they will also suffer persecution from V5. Just thinking about that makes me unable to control my emotions!"
"If I let them live and they fall victim to V5's wickedness, I don't think I could forgive myself!"
Upon hearing his words, the people around him became excited.
Ian's face also showed a look of great interest.
I initially thought this guy who deliberately jumped out to "seek death" was a fool, but it seems I was mistaken.
The other person... is quite a remarkable person...
"What do you think I should do, President Xiupa?"
Ian stood on the high place and asked in a loud voice.
"Your Excellency, as the former President of the Republic of the Congo, I hope... no... I implore you to extend your benevolence not only to Peji City, but to the other twenty-one cities of the Republic of the Congo."
With a serious expression, President Xiupa spoke earnestly after deep thought.
Hearing his words.
The survivors present looked on with sudden realization.
"The president is right!"
"We really shouldn't abandon the others. If possible, Lord Giant God, it would be great if you could take the people from the other cities with you!"
"That... that's true, but wouldn't that be too much trouble for Lord Giant God..."
The survivors below began to discuss amongst themselves.
Meanwhile, Ian, who was positioned high above, had a slight smile playing on his lips.
Just as he expected.
The president in front of me is quite an interesting fellow.
Human beings are so multifaceted; this human named Xiupa, for example, has shown the underlying characteristics of a "politician."
Of course... Ian had no idea how well the other party had performed as the president of a country.
However... as long as the other party can understand his meaning and act according to his ideas, it's not necessarily a bad thing if they still want to retain this power.
At this time in Ejin City, both Xia and Kazan performed quite well.
However, their personalities were still a bit too "upright"...
There is not enough flexibility in handling certain matters.
However, this seemingly ordinary blond man speaks eloquently and has a rather smooth mind. His addition... might bring some inspiration to Xia and Kazan.
They might be able to learn from each other.
Thinking of this, Ian nodded to Aimina beside him.
The other party understood Ian's intention perfectly, extending a slender, jade-like finger and gently hooking it towards Xiupa.
"Eh..."
Slightly flustered, the blond-haired Xiupa found himself uncontrollably floating into the air, heading towards the direction where Ian and the others were.
Cold sweat beaded on his forehead; he had no idea how the other person would deal with him!
Speaking rashly is a gamble.
If he loses the bet, he can predict the outcome...
But there's no other way; we have to gamble!
He was able to rise to the presidency through elections by taking huge risks at crucial junctures in his life!
He is now trying this method again, hoping to gain something.
"Gulp..."
Seeing Xiupa float up, the survivors below panicked. With Xiupa so close to Ian and the others, suspended high in the air, it was impossible not to be afraid, and they couldn't help but swallow.
The sight of this Red Giants up close was truly terrifying!
The group of boys who could control them, whom Xiupa called "weirdos," looked remarkably young.
This is truly... unbelievable...
That was what Xiupa thought until this moment.
