Chapter 1004
Tang Shaoyang chuckled once more, "How long time has passed since the zombie attack? Three days? A week? A month? No! It just happened a few hours ago. Are you assuming that we will not investigate why the zombie suddenly appears inside the wall? How are we supposed to explain when you don\'t give us time to find the source of the attack?"Tang Shaoyang nodded two times, "The accusation makes sense, but do you have evidence to back your accusation? Haven\'t you also heard about the rebellion? Why can\'t it be their doing? They use the chaos to rebel? Doesn\'t that make even more sense than your groundless accusation?"
The woman representative was surprised to hear the news about the rebellion. She looked to the side, but it seemed she was the only one who did not know about the rebellion.
"This lady seems not to know about the rebels. You can find it out later, lady. We will focus on your issues for now. Do you have evidence that the zombie attack is Yu Shun\'s doing? If you can provide the evidence, you can make a report to TEIS, and they will prosecute Yu Shun. There\'s no need to come to me, no?"
Of course, The five representatives stayed silent. They did not really have evidence that it was Yu Shun\'s doing.
"But we saw you fight Yu Shun. Isn\'t that because Yu Shun is the culprit behind the zombie attack, and you try to stop him?" The oldest representative revealed his card. He did not have actual evidence, but he had a witness who saw Tang Shaoyang fight Yu Shun.
"Did I fight Yu Shun? I don\'t recall that, but I fought the culprit behind the zombie attack, and it was not Yu Shun," Tang Shaoyang smiled, "The culprit called himself Antorias, The God of Undead. He is someone not from Earth, and he came to possess Yu Shun\'s body because of Yu Shun\'s class."
"Do you think we will believe that nonsense? God of Undead? Someone not from Earth possessed Yu Shun\'s body? You can\'t use such a lie to fool us! We are not that foolish to believe what you say! You are protecting him just because Yu Shun has been with you for a long time! How can a leader of a nation protect a criminal? How are people supposed to believe in your leadership if you protect a criminal? That will damage your reputation and credibility with the people!" The old man responded aggressively. He could not believe that Tang Shaoyang would use such a lie.
"Nonsense? Do you know that another world exists, and I have been to that different world once? Is it weird that the God of Undead exists when those zombies pop out from nowhere? Do you think it\'s weird that I can even now produce fire through my bare hand?" Tang Shaoyang demonstrated it as the black fire engulfed his right hand.
"Where do you think elves and beastmen come from? Are they popping out from the soil or tree? Of course, when I am talking about God, he is not something that can create things. That\'s just a level of power; the system classified them as a god. Do you understand?"
Tang Shaoyang found out that these people knew nothing about what he said. They looked confused, but the heat from the fire in his hand made them stay silent. They could not argue back because it was really nothing impossible with the new world. The proof was right in front of them, but it was still hard to believe about another world.
"Do you know anything about Dimensional Tower that spawn on Earth? The tower that connects our worlds to many different dimensions, do you know that?" He changed the question. The Dimensional Tower was announced by the system, so he expected them to know about the tower. However, their response surprised him once more as they knew nothing. The five representatives shook their heads.
Tang Shaoyang turned his head toward Cao Jingyi and Li Shuang, "It seems we need to educate our people about the dangers with the world, no? Zombies and beasts are not the only threat to us, but the inhabitants from other worlds too."
"We provide all the information at the information center. We don\'t have something that can connect everyone to provide information like the Internet. The Communication System is limited for Tarrior and TEIS; we don\'t have enough quota for everyone. So we created the information center for more detailed information such as portal to another world, Dimensional Tower, Rank of power, type of monsters, beasts, and zombies, the Tarrior\'s projects, and more about things related to the Game," Li Shuang explained, "The limitation is that people must come to the information center."
Tang Shaoyang went silent for a moment. He assumed that all the people would know what he and the Tarrior had been fighting for them. Then he realized that the empire had grown too big that such information would not easily spread as before.
Tang Shaoyang did not want to go on explaining about another world, Dimensional Tower, and the God Rank, but one thing crossed his mind, "What\'s your level?" If they were high-level, they should know more about the ranks. It baffled him that they did not know about the ranks.
"I am level 78!" The oldest representatives answered confidently.
"I am level 71!" "I am level 69!" "I am level 68!" The other three men\'s representatives replied with confidence. The only one who hesitated was the woman, "I-I a-am level 82."
"Pfffft…." Tang Shaoyang could not hold his laughter. He laughed hard when he heard their levels. His laughter completely offended these representatives. It could be seen from their expressions.
Tang Shaoyang then looked at Cao Jingyi and Li Shuang back and forth, "Are you really serious? Is it really necessary to arrange a meeting with them? I thought they were influential figures in the empire, so I need to appease them." He thought these five people should be at least Epic Rank to have the confidence to speak with him in person.
"They are the heads of the Environment Division and Employment & Labor Division. They have thousands of support, so…."
Tang Shaoyang stopped Li Shuang from finishing her explanation. He then turned back to the five representatives, "Let me ask one last thing before I give you my answer for your proposal. Who will be the member of this Empire Council?"
The not-so-enthusiastic youngest man answered, "We plan to have 12 Council Members, and we five are the founding members. We will hold a strict selection for the next seven council members."
"I see…." Tang Shaoyang nodded his head three times. He was glad and relieved as he realized these five people were not related to the rebellion. They were opportunists, using the chaos to climb up the rank by using the people who trusted them.
"I have advice for you guys. Maybe…. No, you must visit the information center first before talking to me. So you will know the strength of our military force and my strength. So you will think twice or thrice before proposing something outrageous. Keeping a check on my officials and me by creating the council?" Tang Shaoyang let out a small laugh as it was so funny.
"My level is top secret, but I will give you a clue to gouge me. I am above level one thousand, ten times higher than your level. So, how do you want to keep checking on me when I can pop your head with a flick of my finger? How are you going to stop me if I want to kill you all?" Tang Shaoyang went with "Ah", "I am curious now if I can truly pop your head with a flick?"
He flicked his fingers, creating a sound in the air. He then asked the five with a smile, "Do any of you want to try my flick?"
The five representatives\' jaws dropped when they heard Tang Shaoyang was above level one thousand. They subconsciously covered their forehead.
"There\'s no need to continue our talk," Tang Shaoyang stood up and pointed his thumb at the five representatives, "Arrest them. We need to interrogate them about how they know I fight Yu Shun. Who told them about Yu Shun. That person might be involved with Antorias and the rebels."
Tang Shaoyang turned around and headed toward the door, "I can\'t believe I wasted my time on them."
"What about the protester outside?" Li Shuang asked.
"I will handle them," Tang Shaoyang waved his hand, indicating to her not to worry.
