Just 8 billion people

Chapter 67 A Life-and-Death Struggle (Part VII)
"Purple Sky" incident, forty minutes later.

Noon, eleven-thirty.

Joseph's Manor.

In a simple study room on the second floor of a quaint little building.

Joseph Lanqian sat at his desk, eating the steak on his plate while listening to the reports from his tribesmen.

When lunch is finished.

The report is over.

There was a "clang" sound.

Throw away forks and knives.

Joseph Lanqian reached out and took a white cotton towel and wiped the oil off his mouth. He spoke in an old and hoarse voice: "So, they are sure that Xiao Yu is dead. (Xi Da language)"

"Sure." The young tribesman nodded heavily: "They promised."

"Haha. They said the same thing in the early morning. But what was the result?"

Throwing the cotton towel onto the plate as well, Joseph Lanqian snapped his fingers.

"Snapped--"

Behind him, a pretty maid immediately stepped forward, picked up the plate gently and respectfully, and took away all the food residues.

And closed the study door.

There were only two people left in the room.

"I've said it a long time ago that you should only believe half of what those good-for-nothings promise."

Standing up, Joseph Lanqian put his right hand behind his back, slightly opened the curtain with his left hand, and glanced at the lavender sky: "We must be prepared for Xiao Yu to be unharmed again."

"Uncle, please give me your instructions." The young tribesman bowed his head.

"…Why is the color of the sky getting weirder and weirder?"

"..."

"Go contact the media." Joseph Lanqian suddenly turned around and said, "Expose the fact that the Federation has dropped a large number of nuclear weapons on its own land."

"What?" The young tribesman was startled, but immediately put away his doubts and nodded calmly: "...Yes. I'll do it right away."

"Then organize our people in the parliament to attack all other parliamentarians." Joseph Lanqian opened his wrinkled eyelids, "Then hold accountable all federal governors and officers who issued the attack order. They are so bold, are nuclear bombs toys? They can just release them as they please?"

“This…this is something we support…” Before he could finish his words, the young tribesman shut up when he noticed Joseph Lanqian’s cold eyes.

"Who supported it? Did our Joseph family support it?" Joseph Lanqian narrowed his eyes and said, "Which congressman with the last name Joseph didn't abstain from voting? Is abstention also called support?"

"……Yes."

"As for the dozens of congressmen who are very close to my Joseph family, their votes have nothing to do with us."

Draw back the curtains.

Joseph Lanqian sat down again, picking at the flesh between his teeth with his tongue, and said lazily: "When the news is exposed and arouses public anger, we will arrest and convict them all."

"Yes."

"Oh no, convict first. If Xiao Yu is still alive, he might not be able to wait for the public opinion to explode."

"Yes." The young tribesman's expression was serious: "First, we must express the attitude of the Joseph family. We are firmly opposed to harming that superman."

"Yes. Just understand this." Nodding, Joseph Lanqian waved his hand: "Go and do it."

"Yes!"

The young tribesman held the folder, bowed deeply, and left quickly.

Joseph Lan Qian was half lying on a chair alone. He took out his mobile phone, opened a short video app, and wanted to search for the reason for the purple sky.

But as he searched... he started to look for girls without making any noise.

From time to time, I would enter a beautiful woman’s live broadcast room and give her gifts worth a few dollars…

"..."

"..."

"This girl is good, you can brush her more." A person behind him suggested in Dongda dialect.

"No." Joseph Lanqian shook his head and responded in Dongda dialect: "This little girl's chest is too flat."

"You don't understand. Nine out of ten flat-chested girls are pretty. Flat-chested girls are the best."

"NONONO. No one knows women better than me. I can tell at first sight..." Joseph Lanqian turned around and saw Xiao Yu behind him: "..." "What's wrong?" Xiao Yu was puzzled: "What?"

"..."

"...I have many flat-chested maids in my manor. I can introduce them all to you if you like. I promise that they are all very well-behaved." Joseph Lan Qian stood up and tremblingly gave up his seat.

"Thank you." Xiao Yu sat on the chair: "But I only like Master Dong."

"There are some from Dongda as well." Joseph Lanqian operated his phone, opened the photo album, and handed it to Xiao Yu: "Take a look at these girls, do you like them?"

"The breasts are too big."

"It's pretty even. I think."

"I do not think so."

"Then take a look at these..."

"These are pretty good." Xiao Yu was satisfied: "They all got out of the pit."

"I'll call you right away." Joseph Lanqian opened the address book.

"Don't worry, let's talk about something else first."

"Okay." Joseph Lanqian put away his phone and said, "Your Excellency, the President, please say."

Xiao Yu: “…”

Xiao Yu: "Does my temperament resemble that of the Führer? You all say so."

"Of course." Joseph Lanqian nodded seriously: "To be honest, I have been in politics for a lifetime, and I have never seen a young person with such leadership qualities as you."

"Then why did you use a nuclear bomb to blow me up?" Xiao Yu wondered.

"I do not have."

"Are these fireworks to welcome me?"

"At least our Joseph family didn't let it go."

"Really? I don't believe it."

"Your Excellency, you can look through all the parliamentary documents of the Federation." Joseph Lanqian said with a serious expression: "From the beginning to the end, my Joseph family has firmly opposed the Federation's persecution of you."

"Oh……"

"But we can't stop them alone. But I have already made arrangements. Someone must pay the price for this!"

"If I hadn't arrived earlier, I would have almost believed it."

"..."

Standing up, Xiao Yu restrained his smile and stared at the other person: "Your name is Joseph Lan Qian, right?"

"Yes." Joseph Lanqian pursed his lips: "...Mr. President, did Li Huade say something to you? You...don't just believe it. Besides, my Joseph family has been passed down for a hundred years, and can provide you with much more help than his family."

"Oh...I see." Xiao Yu nodded: "Then what do you think, in the current situation...are you more important to me, or is he more important?"

"I." Joseph Lanqian said without hesitation: "No doubt..."

"Pfft-"

Before he could finish his words, a big hole was pierced through the old man's head.

Blood, mixed with bones and white pulp, covered the entire curtain.

"..."

"thump--"

Joseph Lanqian's old body fell straight to the ground, motionless.

Xiao Yu put away his fist, picked up a new cotton towel and wiped off the sticky dirt.

Then he opened the small notebook he carried with him: "Many of this old man's younger generations are members of parliament. When the time comes, we can just go to the Federal Building and clear them out. Um... Next one is the Moken family. In Roman Lanzhou."

Putting the notebook in his pocket, Xiao Yu bent his knees and jumped!

"boom!"

It broke through the ceiling of the villa and disappeared into the lavender sky...
