Peter and Barker were in no hurry to leave the hidden space underground. Instead, they searched the room carefully. Other than finding a few containers used to hold some liquid in another room, they also found the corpse of another human.

The head of the corpse did not crack like that of the President. For the time being, Peter and Barker could not determine whether the corpse was a cyborg based on its appearance.

Other than these two corpses and a few containers that Peter planned to take with him, he left the other pieces of furniture untouched for now. He would deal with them later.

When the two of them returned to the surface of the ground, Peter asked Barker to find some cloth to wrap the two corpses. Then, he was to bring them back to Genetic Command and wait for Peter there.

Meanwhile, Peter planned to go to the Federal Building once and look for General David to tell him about the discovery of the President’s corpse. He wanted to test David’s reaction. If he could make David expose something, it would be beneficial for Peter to have more inside information about the mysterious organization.

Furthermore, the mysterious organization that had been behind all of this might have obtained important information about the Federation through David. Thus, Peter planned to not do anything to General David first. Instead, he wanted to use David to lure out the mysterious organization behind him.

When Peter was about to reach the Federal building, a guard team appeared ahead. They surrounded General David and walked towards Peter.

General David also saw Peter and hurried to stand in front of Peter.

“God of War Peter, we meet again. I assume you already know about Callie’s injury?”

Peter smiled professionally and looked down at the short General David.

“General David, I want to ask you a question.”

“Oh, go ahead.”

Peter had now recovered his normal appearance and was no longer like before when he was covered in blood. As a result, David felt much less oppressed by Peter.

The most direct observation of this was that General David no longer trembled when he spoke to him.

“General David! When did the President of the Federation return to the Federation?”

Hm?

David’s emotions changed violently. He didn’t know why Peter had suddenly asked this question.

General David, who had been in the political world for many years, showed no signs of his panic on the surface.

“The President of the Federation left in an aircraft when the beasts attacked the base city. He hasn’t returned yet. I see that the God of War Peter cares about the President’s safety.”

General David had said that last sentence deliberately because of the President’s granddaughter, Callie. She was Peter’s girlfriend, and the entire Federation knew that.

To put it bluntly, he was giving the God of War Peter some face.

Peter certainly understood what David meant by his last sentence, but he wasn’t buying it.

“General David, I have something good that I want you to see.”

Then, Peter took out his smart device and opened the video he had recorded.

At the next moment, a virtual video appeared between Peter and General David.

In the video, a large bed with a person lying on it appeared.

Just as General David was wondering about this, the video began to move. It zoomed into the head of the person, and a face that everyone present recognized was frozen in the image.
