Chapter 119 - 119: Threatening The President (1/2)

The room was completely silent after Gray entered.

He could feel the pressure on his back as the two men stared at him curiously.

One had short brown hair, a trimmed bear and dark circles beneath his brown eyes. He seemed rather fit.

The other was a burly, slightly overweight man with a blonde pompadour. His small eyes were a mixture between blue and hazel and gave off a strong amount of pressure as he inspected Gray.

Aurora and Violet gave Gray a nervous look, not sure whether or not they should say anything because of the moment. Lara kept her mouth shut with a smile and sent him a silent way from behind their backs.

”Ah- I apologise for that. It's my first time seeing you, I was just surprised.” Said the burly man with a light smile as his expression lightened

”Me too... You're much younger than I thought.” Said the other.

'Yeah, well I'm eighteen.'

They got up from their seats before walking towards Gray and stretching out their hands towards him.

”I am the president of the United States. It is a pleasure meeting you, Gray. I thank you for saving our nation.” Said the burly man.

”And I am the excutive of this corporation you've seen today. It is also a pleasure meeting you.” Said the brown haired man.

Gray shook their hands before glancing at Ruby.

She was glaring heavily at them.

”Well, why don't we take a seat? I'm sure there's much to discuss and unfold.” Said Gray with a light smile.

The two looked at each other before nodding.

After sitting at the table, beside Ruby, they instantly got to explaining things as they broadcasted the report with the videos which were somehow able to be captured through a projector.

Ruby and the girls stayed quiet as they explained the situation to Gray.

The king had died, Gray should naturally know this as he was the one who had killed him.

The horned ones surrendered, and as a result the war had ended in the entirety of North America.

There have been no changes and updates to the zombie virus. They were currently working on a cure, but there has been minimal progress.

During this time.

Percentage of the population loss as a result of the war... 90%

Australia, Asia and Antartica have reported to have been reported to have taken over completely by races and kingdoms from another world.

Africa, South America and Europe were in an ongoing battle as their wars raged on.

Now that a continent has successfully repelled the foreign forces, humanity would finally have the time to begin their progression.

Or at least that's what it looked like.

In reality, just the war ending didn't change much. There was still countless millions of zombies roaming around. Two labyrinths which were cleared had still not been looted and lastly they didn't know what they were going to do with the horned ones.

The horned ones had surrendered after the death of their king. Many flew back flew back and escaped with their fleets through the large glowing yellow portals which manifested whilst others were captured after surrendering.

They were currently locked up in this one single refugee as it was the safest and most secure out of all of them.

Some have started to receive torture for information whilst others were soon to be enslaved. Their ranks went from the lowest to highest of the high.

They had even managed to capture a few nobles.

But right here was where the problem came in.

Ruby, the princess wants to release all of them and allow them to return back to their own world.

The king had no male children. Now that he had died she was first in line for the throne.

She planned to return with them and put an end to all of this once and for all.

But the president didn't believe it, after all why come all this way and start a war when you can leave just like that? They were obviously after the Labyrinths so even if they leave now, what guarantee was there that they wouldn't return?

”They had no choice... You don't understand... These people who you're holding up in a cell, they have families waiting for them... Their families...

If they discover that you're holding them all in a cell, they'll be infuriated and seek vengeance. Then even I won't be able to stop them.” Said Ruby.

”Is that a threat?” The president asked.

”No... It's a warning. You may have beaten the king, but if I don't return there with our people, there will be many more cruel nobles wanting to avenge their sons and families who could replace him. If that happens, then it won't be something the death of a single leader can stop.” Said Ruby.

She got up and stared at the president straight in the eye.

”All I want is to put a stop to this war. Isn't the virus which is killing you all already enough?” She asked.

”Again, how can we trust your words? You keep saying I want this, I want that. What guarantee is there?” The president asked.
