CHAPTER 178: A POTENTIAL ORDER REQUEST

Devastated by the fireback after ordering the missile attacks, President Liam Thompson sat in his chambers alone, confused.

That ego... That confidence that was always etched in his mind was completely dead, and at this point, he was more afraid than angered.

"Mister President..."

"Get the hell outta here! I don’t want to repeat myself or I’ll cut off your tongue!" He shouted at the top of his lungs as he ordered the man to leave.

The man didn’t say a word, and with a flinch, he left the room.

Within a few seconds, two men stepped in.

His close friends again today, who had left after they were informed that the missiles had successfully been launched the previous day.

It happened not to be successful in the end, and they were also devastated by how the Nortasians created a Defence System that could backfire attacks to their enemies.

It was terrifying.

"Look, we understand that you aren’t in the best of moods, but you have to know that we are your good friends, Mister President. And we want to stand strong with you in this difficult time," President Boski said.

"Because you also stood by us when we had similar conflicts like this in our countries. We want to be by your side, and help you emerge victorious in this war. Believe us, Mister President," President Ruiz added.

President Liam appeared silent for a moment, and then turned to them.

"I want to make him pay. I want to make him cry. He will feel my wrath... He will cry hard and beg..."

He said those words with a boiling heart, grieving not for the fact that the country lost some people after the missiles backfired, but because the world was starting to believe that the young President of Nortasia could defeat him.

No matter how obvious it was seeming to be, President Liam couldn’t believe it.

He couldn’t accept it, because it had caused some tough pain in the heart.

"That’s why we are here, Mister President. To help out, to find a way to bring them down with our own country’s resources. For the future and restoration of the Alliance," President Ruiz spoke.

The President nodded.

He wasn’t expecting that from them, because he was usually the one who always came to their aid when they were in a conflict with other nations.

Now it was his turn, but his mind was more on the fact that Jayden had caused this, terming it as the master being helped by his followers instead of the followers getting the help.

That was the type of personality he sustained. He always wanted to be the master, and always do the things of the master to get all the credits, fear, and respect that a master should get.

Jayden Cole had just ruined everything... But the sad part?

The sad part was that he wouldn’t be able to refuse their help, because he needed it.

It would be completely foolish if he tried to face Nortasia himself, because there would be a high chance that he would lose, for sure.

"Thank you, President Boski and President Ruiz. You both have really proven to be sole members of the Alliance, and true friends of this great nation. I will never forget this any day," he said with a bright face.

But deep in his heart, only he knew that he wasn’t happy about this at all.

"I will get all the other nations in the Alliance to support with whatever they have. We must all support Icelandia, as it is a test to prove that we are all worthy to be members of the Alliance," President Boski said.

"No, there is no need for that," President Liam cut in.

"I understand, Mister President. If I were in your shoes I would do the same. I wouldn’t want to ask the weaker nations for help. But the best thing to do would always look like the worst. If we can have the other nations help us, it would be easier, and they would all understand that it is what they needed to do," President Boski said.

President Liam was soon talked into letting the other nations of the Alliance support him, and he had no choice but to accept it.

After that conversation ended, one of the security entered the chamber in a rush.

"Mister President. A call from President Jayden Cole... I think they already activated one of the satellite networks," he said.

President Liam flinched, the mention of that name hitting his heart hard.

He gave President Boski and Ruiz a look, and nodded, giving him the go-ahead to hear what Jayden Cole had to say.

"Connect it to the record and speaker," he told the guard, as he nodded and did as ordered immediately.

******

Right in Charlotte’s office, the call was on, and Jayden was on air, about to make his speech.

"Mister President, I believe that you have stopped doubting us at this point. You have seen what we are capable of, and aren’t what the world thinks we are. We are stronger, mightier, and smarter than the world thinks. We are not weak..."

"We are leaving the first satellite network on for the next one minute, for as long as we talk. So... I don’t have much to say. I just have a request for you."

"You are endangering the people of Icelandia, because we know that they don’t want war. Same as my people, who would be greatly protected if war comes anyway..."

"But yours... We have the weapons to break through your Defence Systems. If you think we are lying, then you can dare us to prove it."

"We don’t want to murder innocent people, even though the people of Nortasia want massive vengeance for the people that lost their lives after your first attacks."

"We won’t revenge in folds, but rather unite the world and prepare for the real threat. The arrival of the Sovereign Protocols."

"So, Mister President. I ask you to step down as President of Icelandia, and end the group of the Alliance, as we would advise the Independent Society to do the same, reuniting the world together."

"Like I said, it’s not an order. It’s a request, but if you won’t consider my request, I will have to make it an order..."

"And it will go the hard way."

"Have a nice day, Mister President... This is the last time I’ll call you that."
