Chapter 684: Let’s collect their protection fee first Part Two (1/2)
Xu Cheng said: “You take yourself too seriously. If the M Nation was really going to go hard and suppress Great Britain, then Great Britain wouldn’t even dare to let out a fart. You think the world is still in Great Britain’s hands when they were with the European Union? For the sake of the beneficial exchanges between the two countries, that matter has been suppressed and to be dealt with privately. Which meant that this file will be kept in secret by the two countries and the story will rot in history as time passes.”
Hawking closed his eyes. “You d*ck, but it was true that I had no choice at the time. I’ve got a question for you.”
Xu Cheng nodded his head. “What is it?”
Hawking looked at Xu Cheng and asked, “Everything since that auction, it was a trap set up for me, right?”
Xu Cheng also looked at Hawking and felt flames of anger in his eyes. He asked in an ironic tone, “If I said yes, would you fight me to death?”
Hawking’s face looked a bit shocked, and he said after pausing for a long time, “You predicted that I would be coming to M Nation to receive your treatment?”
Xu Cheng said, “Not a prediction, but with certainty. Any person with ambition and ideals would not choose to spend the rest of their life like a loser. You are not even afraid of death nor suicide, why would you be afraid to come to the M Nation?”
Hawking: “So you really set this up just for me?”
Xu Cheng: “I don’t want to hide it from you, because after all, I have things that I want from you. To be honest, from the very beginning, I’ve had the idea of taking over the Land of Mercenaries. However, you know it’s difficult to re-establish a government in a chaotic country. Besides, a country with nuclear weapons and a country without nuclear weapons are very different, and I’m afraid that if I become a target one day, the nuclear weapons will become my advantage. You were right about the dictators who have fought against the M Nation and how they never won; but they all had one flaw, they were not strong enough and they had no one to rely on so they were at the mercy of others. Therefore, I had to find someone who can develop a nuclear weapon, and in this world, anyone who has this capability has already been contacted by other countries. Whoever comes into contact with these researchers will be on the radar of every intelligence service around the world. It was impossible to find someone, and the only one I could think of was you. No one would have their eyes on you because you were no different than someone in a vegetative state. But I am different, I can save you, and you can also be the make of me. In fact, it’s not so much of a conspiracy theory. I never wanted to kidnap you or force you in the first place, it was all up to your own will.”
Xu Cheng: “Why?”
Hawking: “Because those are the acts of a lunatic. One mistake would be the doom of you. The former guess disgusts me, but the latter one scares me. But I have no choice but to finish the research as soon as possible and leave you, you madman. It’s so I can return the favor.”
“Thank you, that’s enough. If I don’t die, I will owe you a favor in the future.” After Xu Cheng said that, he stood up and flicked the cigarette butt away as he left the underground project.
