An eerie silence filled the President’s office, it almost felt like the air itself was frozen.
Gu Qing Shan sat across the President as they stared at each other.
Within the silence, the sound of explosions, the Mech’s engine noises as well as the slight trembling of the earth could be heard from afar.
The revolution has begun.
Listening to that, the President flashed a minute smile on his face.
He has never been someone that allow others to please him, but the noise of fighting outside really did make him enjoy himself.
Gu Qing Shan waved his hand.
The cup of tea on the President’s desk floated up and slowly landed in front of the President.
“Have some tea” Gu Qing Shan offered.
He raised his own cup of tea and had another sip.
“Hm, this tea really is quite decent” he commented.
Looking at Gu Qing Shan’s calm expression, the President raised his cup and smelled it a bit.
He scowled once again and put it back down.
The President once again looked at Gu Qing Shan, only to see an expression of nonchalance.
“How did you find out?” the President finally asked.
“You sent the Confederate’s Martial Saint away” Gu Qing Shan answered.
“That doesn’t prove anything”
“That’s true, even the missing skull on the scepter, the fake Emperor, Tang Jun’s death, the appearance of the Frozen Hell, none of this could prove that you’re in the Confederate”
Gu Qing Shan spoke slowly: “But very recently, I went through a course of specialized training”
The President seemed unexpected: “Gene theory?”
“No, acting” Gu Qing Shan placed his cup down and continued: “Your Majesty, from a professional standpoint, you’ve never seriously thought about the character of ‘President’. You don’t have the capabilities to impersonate him at all ——never mind the President, I bet you can’t even act like a background character even if you wanted to”
The President stared at him, waiting for his following words.
Gu Qing Shan continued: “Although you’ve went through genetic restructuring to make yourself look like the President, every single one of your actions are still your own”
“When exactly did you notice?”
“Your taste in tea ——–the Confederate government buys and uses a very mundane type of tea leaves, at least a few grades below the type you’re used to in your palace, so you didn’t even feel the need to take a sip”
“When you sit, your hips are straight, extremely alert and spirited, but the President is only a normal person, he’s old”
“The President likes to sit on the sofa, ah yes, right across from me, he likes to joke around with small talk; but you sit behind your desk with a cold expression”
“Our President comes from humble origins, from town to city to county, he climbed the steps gradually to reach where he is today, so he has the necessary smile and sincere facial expression for it”
“You very rarely show any expression at all, because you are the subject for everyone to please ——-an Emperor’s smile is a type of reward that you give to others”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “As long as I imagine you as His Majesty the Emperor, then all your actions and gestures match him perfectly”
“Just because of these minor things? Do you really think I’ll believe that?” the President asked.
“Of course there are other reasons, but it’s not appropriate for me to tell you”
Gu Qing Shan continued: “The most important thing is; the true President will not divide his country when war comes to its doorsteps”
“Why?”
“He’s an elected President, the most beloved leader of the country in our history, if he hadn’t proven himself with his actions up to now, the people wouldn’t have put their faith in him so much”
“Ah, that sounds reasonable”
The President went silent, then finally smirked sarcastically.
“Of course I don’t know how to act” he spoke slowly, but firmly: “But I know how to control the life and death of millions, I know how to conquer the world”
“Could you do it though?” Gu Qing Shan leaned back on the sofa and asked.
The President spoke confidently: “Just now on national TV, I’ve exposed the disgusting true face of the 9 Lords”
“As the President of the Confederate, my condemnation of them would definitely trigger the fury of the people”
“I’ve already held a part of the military in my hand, they’re loyal to me alone”
“In the moment when Impartial Goddess is paralyzed, the military and the 9 Lords will clash”
“The citizens will rise up to support the military”
The President’s tone was cold: “The Freedom Confederate will officially enter a state of civil war, and I will return to Fuxi to pour more oil into the fire”
“You’ve already thought of how to deal with the 9 Lords?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“They’re nothing but scum in front of true power —–even the space monsters are nothing but scum in front of true power”
As the President was talking, his Holo-Brain suddenly lit up.
Taking a look at it, the President scowled.
“What happened?” he asked.
A hurried voice began to explain the situation.
There was a faint sound of explosions and gunfire, together with a lot of unclear shouting”
After listening, the President turned the Holo-Brain off.
His expression was icy cold.
“The live broadcast signal, did you intervene?” he was almost roaring.
“Correct, when I noticed something was wrong, I already contacted Impartial Goddess and directed her to do it”
“I was the only person who saw that broadcast” Gu Qing Shan wiggled his finger: “Your acting skills still need a lot of work, might as well not embarrass yourself in front of the citizen”
“Impartial Goddess ——-“
“She’s completely fine, may be a bit surprised”
“You mean to say that the speech wasn’t broadcasted all around the country?”
“I’m sorry but that’s exactly what I’m saying” Gu Qing Shan answered.
The President started cracking his neck unnaturally.
This is probably an unconscious gesture from being furious.
“Now, my question from before, please tell me, is the real President still alive?” Gu Qing Shan asked.
“Let me think about it, which one did I kill? How unfortunate, I’ve killed quite a few clones, maybe the real one was in there also?” the President cruelly smirked.
Gu Qing Shan’s heart was finally able to loosen, so that truly is the case.
He suddenly said: “I have to go”
Boom——
The presidential office was split in two and crashed down.
Two figured jumped into the air.
Gu Qing Shan turned into a streak of light and started to fly away.
The Emperor followed closely after, pursuing with all he had.
After only a few minutes, they’ve already gotten quite far away from the presidential office.
Gu Qing Shan suddenly stopped.
Seeing that, the Emperor slowed down and hovered in midair.
“Why aren’t you running?” his lips curled into a mocking smile.
“This is far enough” Gu Qing Shan muttered.
“What are you saying?” the Emperor angrily roared.
“That’s a secret” Gu Qing Shan answered.
Looking at him, the Emperor felt angry like never before in his life.
Suddenly, the air around him began to crackle and pop.
This is the air itself being unable to stand the pressure he emitted and spontaneously combust.
Earth of the 5-Element, 5th stage, All Things Collapse.
In front of the Emperor, all things will face crushing by brutal pressure.
The Emperor flicked his hand casually.
In the middle of the capital, a sky-high mountain suddenly manifested from the ground.
The earth itself rose up, turning into a mountain range to support the Emperor’s feet.
He stood atop the mountain, crossing his arms looking at Gu Qing Shan.
He then raised one hand.
Large amounts of mud flowed like water up to the air, then compressed themselves into spheres the size of a fist.
Countless spheres floated in the sky.
Although they looked ordinary, they carry frightening mass.
Summon Stars!
Being touched by them even the slightest bit will result in becoming crushed into a pile of bones and flesh.
Looking at that, Gu Qing Shan commented: “Being able to command Earth of the 5-Element to this degree just by a flick of the wrist, he’s the real deal”
