1803: Killing Blow

Killing Blow

"I'll be looking forward to our cooperation." Rea smiled, shaking hands with the beggar association's leader, Felipe.0

Felipe smiled. "No, the pleasure is mine. We're grateful that Theo wants to work together with us again. In fact, we have been waiting when we're getting called."

Rea nodded. "In that case, please spread the rumors."

"Don't worry. We might have gotten weaker a bit after the apocalypse, but it doesn't change the fact that we're the best in this field. We'll make the people believe that the Vice President has gone missing, thus the reason for the reschedule."

"Alright. I'll leave it to you."

"Yeah. Though, I have one question." Felipe paused for a moment as his expression turned serious. "The Vice President… is not in your hand, right?"

"No. He is not with us. That is something we can assure you… As for the Vice President's current location, even we don't know about it."

"I see. In that case, I don't have any hesitation anymore." Felipe smiled.

After reaching an agreement, Felipe ordered his people to spread the rumors of the Vice President's disappearance.

As expected of the best espionage group in the US Base, the beggar association, they spread the rumors across the entire base without being tracked by the government.

No, even if they were tracked by them, the government had no ability to stop them due to their numbers.

White House.

"Damn!" They had received the news about the rumor. And people began to talk about it.

This time, the people's opinions began to mix. There were people praising Maya for the new invention and Theo for the protection. There were people questioning the evidence since they were talking about it not long ago. Some wanted to know about the Vice President's situation.

"Those beggars. How dare they join him?" The President slammed the table, gritting his teeth.

He wanted to chase them out right away, but he realized with the help of the Mafia Queen and the Griffith Family, Theo might be able to create the best organization that kept the government in check.

Instead of throwing the beggars away, they had to find a way to separate them from Theo and hold them so that they could help the government fend off Theo and the Mafia Queen.

They didn't realize Theo had a lot of weapons to fight against them. They thought the evidence was the only thing Theo relied on to attack them, but it seemed he had prepared for this.

"What should we do then?"

"We have to suppress the news about the airplane for now… At least, until the current situation regarding the evidence is over."

"That's right. We should also stop the beggar association. It's impossible to stop them, but we can try to negotiate with them."

"But we can't give them too much. What if they're trying to take advantage of this situation to bleed us?"

"We will lose our credibility and influence if we lose this fight against Theo. And the beggar association is one of the biggest cards he has right now. No matter the price, we have to make the association remain neutral."

They were arguing about their next moves, considering Theo revealed his cards in rapid succession. He left them no time to react.

They had decided to put pressure on the media companies to stop publicizing the airplane's matter. However, no matter how hard they tried to suppress the news, the demonstration video spread among the people. Even without the media anymore, they still could get it from Skynet.

At the same time, they sent a representative to negotiate with Felipe, who had no intention of working with the government. After all, Rea had convinced him that Theo would win and the government would lose its power. So, it was better to stay on the winner's side.

The government was completely overwhelmed by Theo's moves.

Unfortunately for the government, Theo was merciless. Since he was determined to weaken them, Theo gave them a killing blow.

On top of the laboratory, the Time God was maintaining the security of the laboratory. He couldn't help but look at the book, finding the result of this clash.

"The government will be severely weakened due to Theo's influence."

There wasn't much detail about the clash. But it was clear that Theo would win in this battle. The only reason he stood here was to see whether it would change the future or not.

Unfortunately, it didn't seem to change at all.

While thinking about the possibility of Theo's attacks, he suddenly felt a fluctuation of Magic Power, not from a person, but from the ground.

"Huh? This Magic Power… Authority?!" The Time God gasped and hurriedly turned around, staring at the laboratory. He hurriedly waved his hand and froze the time around the laboratory. "Oh fuck!"

The supervisor noticed him and asked, "Sir Time God. Is there something wrong?"

The Time God didn't answer him. Instead, he walked toward the Magic Power fluctuation and dug the soil with his hands.

The supervisor didn't know whether to help him or not, but the Time God soon stopped digging after finding a golden circle underneath the ground.

It was at this moment he knew he fucked up.

"Shit. We've been had."

"This… What is this circle, Sir?"

The Time God shook his head helplessly and removed his ability, allowing the circle to release its Magic Power for a few more seconds. After the Magic Power subsided, the mark disappeared without a trace.

A few seconds after the mark disappeared, someone came out of the ground and shouted in panic, "Please help us. We don't know what happened, but all the evidence has vanished without a trace."

"What?" The supervisor gasped before his face became pale. "This…"

The Time God sighed. "This is the mark Theodore Griffith could use to establish an illusion that will look real by a stable input of Magic Power. Even I wouldn't be able to feel it when it's working normally."

"And that mark has just gone… along with the evidence…" The supervisor raised his eyebrows as his body shuddered, coming to a realization.
