The air suddenly got heavy with tension as storm clouds gathered outside. The sound of thunder rumbled in the distance, hinting at the impending chaos. Soon shattered glasses strewn across the floor and furniture toppled over.
Confounded, the woman peered about as items appeared to be flying everywhere. She was unable to make sense of what had just transpired. Sigret remained standing there, watching over her and holding the scythe in her hand while Robin and the others left the house. The woman attempted to run, but her body completely ignored her commands, causing her to collapse to the ground.
As the storm intensified, an eerie stillness settled in the house. Suddenly, a chilling gust of wind swept through the open windows. The wind spiraled and swirled, growing in strength and ferocity, as if it had a life of its own. Within moments, the wind transformed into a powerful cyclone, its raging vortex confined within the confines of the house. The howling wind filled the room, drowning out any other sound. Objects flew through the air, crashing into walls and each other, creating a terrifying symphony of destruction.
"So a small amount of torture for her before she leaves this world." After walking quite a distance away from the house and seeing the damage firsthand, Cathrin stated.
"You have been quite brave for someone who is going through the first rodeo." Robin said, quite impressed by his girlfriend's speech when they talked with the woman. She was genuinely upset.
"Really? I was a little uneasy and also furious. I've never acted so haughtily and held another person's life in my hands." Cathrin responded.
"It seems like I am the only pussy in the group." Robin recalled how horrible he felt the entire day after that man committed suicide and he remembered how he felt.
"You were new to everything, and you've always been too kind. If you want to bring order to the world, you must be more brutal." Sauvik interjected a statement. Meanwhile, as the cyclone reached her, it unleashed its full wrath upon the woman. She was caught in a swirling vortex of wind and debris, her body being tossed and battered mercilessly. The powerful winds battered her injured arm, exacerbating her pain and causing her to cry out in agony, making her forcefully wake up from her unconsciousness.
Soon the whole house was all crushed over and only wet rubbles among the thundering rainstorm that was confined into the small place around the house. It was very anticlimactic as the rest of the surrounding was as sunny as usual and a very small cloud over the house caused the cyclone and the thunderstorm that destroyed everything.
Sigret emerged unscathed from the wreckage after the dust had fallen. She looked fine, and even her clothing was in excellent shape.
"I need to make my dress the same material as hers but Robin will probably hate it as he wouldn't be able to rip it off." Cathrin muttered, making sure no one could hear her. Only JARVIS did and that AI knew how to keep secrets.
"Did you capture every detail?" Sigret emerged from the wreckage and Robin questioned her.
"Recorded and sent to the families and world leaders." said Sigret. I saw Robin nod.
"More space stations need to be established," Robin suggested.
"Yes, but just send military personnel to fire cannons and lasers and leave the space stations empty." Sauvik said the word "no" without pausing.
"Empty? And only military men? Why?" Both Cathrin and Robin had a question mark on top of their heads because they were confused.
"I knew you were politically naive, but I didn't know you were this naive," she said. As he said that, Sauvik sighed.
"What are you blabbering about?" The puzzled Robin requested an explanation.
"If you make the space stations, there are only two kinds of people who you can send. Either the people you have under control in North Korea, or the people from around the world. Technically speaking, if you hire individuals from North Korea, there won't be any issues and you'll be able to run the space stations like a boss, but if you do that, other nations would view North Korea with even more hostility than they do now. If you don't hire individuals for the space stations that are right above their country in space, they'll think you're treating them unfairly."
"But it's North Korea's space stations; why should they have a say in it since it was never theirs?" Robin enquired.
"Have you not noticed how Marxism and Communism emerged throughout history? The North Koreans will eventually be far more advanced than the rest of humanity if you start by hiring people from North Korea in the first stage. They will then become the first humans to set foot on Mars. They will always be in the driving seat. And racism and inequality will result from this."
"All right, then let's simultaneously employ people from North Korea and the rest of the world." Robin uttered those words as he pondered whether hiring individuals from other nations would be the best course of action and demonstrate his sense of equality.
"Are you not listening to my words?" Sauvik enquired, clearly displeased with Robin.
"Now what the hell is wrong in employing people from all over the world. No one is being treated unfairly." Once more perplexed, Robin enquired.
"We have a war to prepare for, and even if the nations had bowed to you and listened to you, do you really think they would welcome the people in and let them go? The majority of nations anticipate that you and the alien invasion will kill each other in order to salvage what is left and end the conflict without firing a shot. No matter how many leaders you eliminate, people will always be self-centered, and nations are merely a reflection of their citizens. As soon as we begin taking them out because it's almost time, the leaders will start spreading the idea that there will be an alien attack. The better action you can take right now is to avoid hiring anyone from outside the area. People will view you as humanity's savior when you win the war, and they will offer to aid you in your future conflicts."
Robin hadn't anticipated that his friend would be that politically astute and able to anticipate the future. He was pleased that he had invited him along for the trip.
"Sigret what he said is true?" In order for the AI to verify it, Robin questioned.
"Once people learn that an extraterrestrial invasion is imminent, there is only a 1 in 5 million chance that they will volunteer for your cause. Before being removed, the leaders would undoubtedly take severe action and inform the populace of the impending invasion. They already know that you don't hurt the innocent, therefore they will make the most of it as a weapon. They'll undoubtedly say stuff like 'Your country invited this invasion with its technology, and you are to blame for it.'" Sigret provided an accurate, thorough account.
Robin simply sighed while listening to the protracted talk. They were accurate. He was being too innocent and needed to see how deceptive individuals can be as well.
"Alright. I won't be inviting anyone. Let me get these leaders something to go out with a bang since they want to. Sigret arrange a press conference that will be broadcasted to the world. Didn't the world want to hear what North Korea has to say after the invasion. Before I take them out, let me alter the entire game."
When Sauvik heard Robin, he grinned. His friends held great power but was too much of free spirit to look deep into the human souls and understand how rotten at times the humanity could be.
The family and world leaders were shown footage of Miss X's passing in the meantime. They were informed that she was in charge of phoning aliens because she possessed the signal communicator. All world leaders were extremely disturbed by this, with the exception of those who had seen the dragon.
They had high hopes for North Korea, especially in light of what they had observed there and in their little view of it. However, the other nations didn't know about it and weren't sure what they would do. North Korea didn't send all of its troops to all of the countries in order to take down the individuals involved in drug trafficking, pedophilia, corruption, and human trafficking as the deadline drew nearer. As a result, they weren't able to eradicate corruption.
They were completely uncooperative, and the leaders of the globe were only receiving opposition from them at the time. These people genuinely lacked self-awareness. Countries like India, Pakistan, Colombia, Venezuela and others were really finding it hard to take down the people who were involved in corruption and delivering swift justice as even the courts refused to hear the words of the government as they declared their interference in the system as unconstitutional.
Courts, at the end of the day was made by humans, and they too weren't some knights in shining armor with justice branded all over them.
