Chapter 151 Fang Wei's Request!
"Since you cleared out the Witch Council branches in Dachang City and Nuchuan City, and then cleared out the three surrounding Witch Council branches," Fang Wei said calmly, "there is now no armed force guarding the entire Yunze Province."
"So, besides thanking you for your support of our work," Fang Wei paused, "we hope to receive your blessing."
"When you say 'you,' do you mean the entire Yunze Province?" Luo Xi pondered for a moment, then sneered, "Is there some other armed force that's interested in us?"
"They wouldn't dare," Fang Wei shook his head. "We have confirmed that you were attacked by nuclear weapons. With atomic weapons no longer effective against you, no force would dare to take military action against the witch."
"Speaking of the nuclear strike, I get really angry," Luo Xi frowned. "I originally planned to announce that Qianhe County in Nuchuan City had been hit, but public opinion was suppressed. The information you released to the public was only that an earthquake had occurred in Qianhe County, Nuchuan City. Your influence was behind this, wasn't it?"
"Yes," Fang Wei readily admitted, "At that time, we also had to obey the orders of the Witch Council headquarters to suppress public opinion."
"Firstly, it is to maintain social stability and prevent the public from rioting due to panic; secondly, it is to stabilize the Witch Council headquarters and prevent them from impulsively launching nuclear strikes against other regions."
"To be precise, it's you yourselves who are afraid of being nuclearly attacked, isn't it?" Luo Xi looked at Fang Wei quietly.
"Yes, no one is unafraid of death, and I am no exception," Fang Wei readily admitted. "If you have any objections to my actions, please do not take them out on my family."
"..." Fang Wei's frankness left Luo Xi speechless for a moment. She remained silent for a while before speaking, "I'm not that petty. Is the protection you're talking about on behalf of the entire Yunze Province?"
"Yes," Fang Wei nodded, "Without military support, everything we do is illegitimate. Now, many smart and capable people have seen this trend and have already left Yunze Province. Population loss will have a great impact on the economy, society, and urban governance."
"Then what do you want me to do?" Luo Xi frowned.
"It is a request, a request for the Witch to show her support for us in public," Fang Wei said slowly, adopting a very humble posture. "We are better at maintaining the normal operation of society and managing various aspects of people's livelihood, medical care, education, etc. We will strictly implement any requests or regulations you have. You and your companions are the highest rulers of this city and this province, and we hope to work under your command."
"I don't want to be a ruler..." Luo Xi thought of her path to immortality; she just wanted to cultivate immortality properly! Establishing the World-Defying Group was only for the purpose of cultivating immortality better.
"Show your support in public? What's the point of doing that?" Luo Xi paused for a moment before asking.
"Power is only accountable to its source. In a sense, you granted us the right to exercise power. Now that the whole world knows about the existence of witches, your words and actions in any public place can be regarded as your stance. While we abide by your stance, others also need to figure out your purpose in doing so," Fang Wei explained.
"Is this mainly for the Witch Council headquarters to see? This means you're going to stand completely against the Witch Council headquarters. Are you ready?" Luo Xi raised an eyebrow and asked in return.
"We've been prepared for this for a long time," Fang Wei said with a smile. "From the moment you successfully withstood a nuclear attack, the entire modern military armed forces system has become meaningless in your presence. Your era is bound to come; it's an inevitable trend."
"Those who are unprepared are always the high-ranking members of the Witch Council, who are too aloof from the people and too far removed from reality!" Fang Wei replied with a smile.
"Okay, I agree to that. Let's do it tomorrow." After a moment's thought, Luo Xi agreed to Fang Wei's request.
"Okay, then let's set the press conference for 10 a.m. tomorrow," Fang Wei said with a delighted expression. "May I ask, Your Majesty, how many people will be attending?"
"Three people for now," Luo Xi immediately thought of Qiangwei and Luo Xin, then a hint of doubt arose in her eyes, "You have other things to do, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have brought your whole family along."
"Yes." Fang Wei's expression turned serious. "I want to join the Vistula Group as an ordinary person. At the same time, my family and I all hope to find a job within the Vistula Group."
Luo Xi fell silent.
To be honest, Luo Xi didn't really want ordinary people to join the Vistivers Group, but there were too few witches, and they weren't good at many things. To keep the Vistivers Group running, ordinary people were needed.
Furthermore, this location of the Vishzhe Group was a gift from this person, and Fang Wei was even involved in its construction.
Luo Xi finally understood what it meant to be "he who takes a bribe is obligated to do so".
"I need to think about that," Luo Xi didn't agree immediately. After a moment's thought, she asked, "You know I'm going to have a meeting with the Witch Council next week, right?"
"Yes, I've heard that too. It's said that you're going to establish a country ruled by witches," Fang Wei said.
"Huh? Establish a country ruled by witches?" Luo Xi was stunned. So that's what the rumors outside were like? She didn't even know that herself.
"I don't want to establish any country..." Luo Xi muttered to herself.
"Lady Witch, ever since you were able to fight against atomic weapons, you have been the rulers of this world, or rather, one of the rulers," Fang Wei said slowly. "It's just that you are too kind. Faced with the nuclear attack by the Witch Council branch, you did not retaliate, but instead thought of negotiating with them."
"You are all so kind." Fang Wei's face showed a look of relief.
"..." Luo Xi was speechless. Was she not willing to fight back?
She recalled Rose's perception of fate: if they went to clean up the Witch Council headquarters, then the thirteen Witch Council headquarters would most likely launch a nuclear strike against the world, using the lives of ordinary people around the world to kidnap the witches.
She was threatened!
After hesitating for a moment, Luo Xi still voiced her thoughts: "I also want to clean up the Witch Council headquarters. But we have witches who can sense the future. If I do that, they might join forces to launch a nuclear attack, using the lives of ordinary people all over the world to kidnap the witches."
"The fact that you're being threatened in this way just shows how kind you are," Fang Wei said earnestly.
Is that so? Are they really that kind? Luo Xi was a little embarrassed. "I'm cleaning up the Witch Council headquarters. They really wouldn't use this method to kidnap us, would they?"
"No, the thirteen Witch Councils are not of one mind. Not to mention thirteen, even a single Witch Council is not a monolithic entity," Fang Wei then discussed the Witch Councils again. "If you only eliminate one of the Witch Councils, a nuclear counterattack will not occur."
"They wouldn't feel any guilt if others died, but asking them to die alongside ordinary people? They simply don't have that kind of courage!" Fang Wei looked at her earnestly and continued.
"Please allow us to participate in your meeting with the Witch Council. You can state any conditions you have, and we will discuss them with them. We will definitely fulfill your requests," Fang Wei said sincerely.
Please seriously consider my request!
