"Just now, you said you would help me stir up chaos in this country?"
Xia Yan's tone was as usual, revealing no change in his emotions.
"That's right, that's right! Lord Xia Yan, please rest assured and leave it to me. I will definitely carry out all your orders!"
Upon hearing Xia Yan repeat what he had just said, the seemingly sleazy young man stepped forward triumphantly, as if he had received some kind of praise.
"And me, and me!"
Seeing his state, another person who went to pick up the weapon also stepped forward eagerly.
It seemed as if they were afraid of speaking too late and having all the benefits taken by themselves.
Several other people who had also picked up weapons joined in, and the atmosphere was clearly trending toward another kind of fanaticism.
"Is that so? You all think so..." Xia Yan said with a smile, "In that case, I'll leave it to you—"
"—Go to hell, all of you!"
His tone instantly turned cold.
As soon as he finished speaking, all the people holding weapons were torn into human jigsaw puzzles by the black ghost.
An eerie silence fell over the scene, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The previously enthusiastic atmosphere instantly cooled down.
Apart from Hashimoto Eimi, who was still being held in Xia Yan's arms, everyone else slowly knelt down in front of Xia Yan like a wave.
They didn't know what those people had done wrong, nor did they know why Xia Yan would do such a thing.
But without exception,
They then recalled the fear of being dominated by Xia Yan.
"That's it, that's good!"
Seeing his followers become much more obedient, Xia Yan's face showed a satisfied expression.
"I've already told you! I want to dominate this country with absolute violence and terror. What I want is conquest, domination, and submission!"
"It's not chaos!"
"I will establish a new order! A nation where only I can possess violence and inflict terror upon others!"
"No one is allowed to have this right except me, who is above all others!"
"They've crossed the line. They're trying to wield violence like I do, and that's unacceptable! Remember that!"
Everyone lowered their heads even further.
However, no one raised any questions or objections.
Because they had already succumbed to Xia Yan's violence and terror.
After finishing his speech, Xia Yan continued his conquest.
After demonstrating a force comparable to an army, Xia Yan found that his actions seemed to be going much more smoothly.
Just as he was about to finish his work for the day and send all his followers home to continue tomorrow, a news report on a television set outside caught his attention.
"...Demi-humans, who are born beyond the concept of 'life and death,' have no 'heart.' Even if they kill someone, they will not be moved!"
"Without exception, all demi-humans are extremely dangerous beings, and this is something that every citizen must realize."
"Xia Yan's atrocities will likely continue in 1.4, and these facts are irrefutable evidence of the demi-humans' brutal nature..."
Xia Yan smiled with interest as he watched the middle-aged man talking on the television.
He never expected that, after he had already defeated the country, there would still be people who dared to publicly express such opposition to him.
"interesting……"
"It seems there are still people in this world willing to stand up and be heroes..."
"This shows that the country hasn't given up the fight yet..."
The next second, the television set instantly turned into a pile of electronic debris.
"Lord Xia Yan, that person is a famous host from TV Tokyo."
Hashimoto Eimi, also a media professional, recognized the eloquent middle-aged man.
"Is that so...then let's include him in the list of those to be publicly executed..."
Chapter 166 The Island Nation's Hidden Strongest Force
Meanwhile, in the office of the Ajin Management Committee, Ogura Ikuya, who had just gotten off the plane, couldn't wait to take all the information about Natsuhiko and watch the recently filmed videos.
Xia Yan was on a plane when he was live-streaming, so he was unaware of what happened during that time.
After smoking half a pack of cigarettes, he threw all the documents on the table and then fell into deep thought.
"So, is there any way?"
Seeing that the other party had put down the documents, Tosaki Yu asked impatiently.
Although Ikuya Ogura is a biophysicist from an island nation, he is not well-liked because many of his views and papers are considered nonsense.
They suffered all kinds of ridicule and contempt.
As a result, after he went to the United States, he transformed himself into the world's leading researcher on subhumans.
He successfully silenced the group of useless people who mocked and ostracized him, yet who themselves had no achievements to show for it.
He could be considered the ultimate genius of biophysics.
"No, give up. I can't see any weaknesses that a demi-human should have in him. His very existence defies the laws of the world; it's as if he crossed over from a superpowered comic book world..."
Ogura Iku slumped back in his chair, smoking with a vacant look in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, this guy had almost finished a whole pack of cigarettes.
They're practically inhaling smoke like it's air.
"Huh!? What nonsense are you spouting? Is this the conclusion you, as the foremost researcher of demi-humans, have reached?"
Seeing that after waiting for so long, all he got was a wildly unrealistic conclusion from the other party, Tosaki Yu felt as if the other party was treating him like a fool.
Ogura Ikuya shrugged and said:
"That's a fact. People like you who clearly see the facts but refuse to admit them are even more outrageous, aren't they?"
"Anyway, I can't see any weaknesses in him that I can exploit. I even doubt whether he is a demi-human or not. Maybe he is some other kind of creature similar to a demi-human."
As he spoke, he stubbed out his cigarette, shook the pack to make sure there wasn't a single one left, and then opened another unopened pack of cigarettes.
Before he could even open the cigarette, Tosaki Yu snatched it away from him.
"If you can't come up with a solution to get rid of Xia Yan, you won't be allowed to touch a cigarette during your stay in Japan."
"Are you a devil!?"
Upon hearing Tosaki Yu's words, Ogura Iku's eyes widened instantly.
He came to the island nation to conduct sample research, so naturally he couldn't just take a quick look and go back; he would stay for at least ten days to half a month.
Making a seasoned smoker go without smoking for so long is harder to accept than killing him outright.
Thinking of this, he immediately looked at the member of the Ministry of National Defense who was in charge of his safety during his time in the island nation.
"Hey! He treated me like this, and you're not even going to do anything about it!?"
The bodyguard listened to Ogura Ikuya's words but simply turned his head away, pretending not to hear or see them.
Just kidding. Although he was in charge of Dr. Ikuya Ogura's personal safety during this period, he is still a Japanese person after all.
This is truly a critical moment of life and death.
If he doesn't come up with a solution soon, the island nation will have to change its surname. He doesn't care whether Ogura Ikuya can smoke or not.
Seeing this, Ogura Ikuya realized that if he didn't make some contribution, he would probably have to wait until he returned to the United States to smoke.
But given the current situation, it's really uncertain when I'll be able to go back.
Ikuya Ogura is not afraid of death.
They will not succumb to physical pain.
But there is no doubt that Tosaki Yu's threat hit him where it hurt.
"I know! I've figured out his weakness!"
Faced with Tosaki Yu's threat to cut off his cigarette supply, Ogura Iku racked his brains and finally came up with a way to break the deadlock.
"what way?"
Yu Tozaki asked quickly.
Although he won't be scapegoated anymore since the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare has already passed away, he still has to keep climbing the ranks to earn more money to pay for his fiancée's medical treatment.
If he can solve Xia Yan's problem, it is obvious that he will rise rapidly in this country.
Ogura Ikuya didn't say anything, but simply stretched out his index and middle fingers and pinched them twice.
Seeing his reaction, Tozaki Yu couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly.
He had every reason to suspect that the other party might simply be trying to trick him into saying that, just to get cigarettes.
"Tell me your method first!"
Upon hearing Tosaki Yu's words, Ogura Iku also crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and adopted a posture of non-violent non-cooperation.
There are clearly only two choices.
Either give me a cigarette, or we'll just rely on time.
At worst, I can just endure it for a couple of days. Maybe the whole island nation will change its name in a couple of days.
Seeing this, Tosaki Yu had no choice but to give him a cigarette.
However, instead of giving him the whole box, she opened the packaging and gave him only one stick, to see if Ogura Iku had really come up with a solution.
After taking the cigarette, Ogura Iku took a satisfying drag, his face showing an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"Calling it a weakness isn't entirely accurate. It's just that I've roughly come up with a method that might be useful for 873."
