Chapter 131: Discussions Among Nations
Half a month later, at the White House.
By this time, the lawn in the courtyard had returned to its original state; with massive amounts of money thrown at it, the efficiency of the capitalist world was impressively fast.
Chris watched Stewie practice Tai Chi on the lawn, stifling a yawn with a slight sense of boredom.
A strong gust of wind suddenly appeared on the lawn, giving Stewie's Tai Chi practice a unique momentum.
However, before Stewie could enjoy it for too long, this mysterious wind dissipated without a trace, and even the Tai Chi he was practicing became ordinary again.
This was because Chris had closed his mouth after yawning.
Without his superhuman lung capacity to inhale and exhale air, naturally no strange wind would appear.
"Grand Master, the President is looking for you," Wesley called out, jogging over.
Chris had never actually taught Wesley anything; Fox taught him marksmanship, and Stewie helped him sharpen his thinking.
But because of Chris's relationship with Fox and Stewie, even though he hadn't taught anything, Chris still held the title of Grand Master.
Wesley had originally just called him that out of respect.
However, it wasn't until Chris displayed his true strength that Wesley realized how much he'd benefited from calling him 'Master'.
One could even say the advantages gained from merely being able to call Chris 'Master' were almost on par with the skills he'd learned.
Leaving aside what hadn't materialized yet, just the invitation from Bush Jr. to serve as the White House's special commissioner for supernatural individuals already granted him immense power.
This was a special department specifically established to deal with supernatural organizations similar to the Assassin Brotherhood.
As Wesley understood it, this was equivalent to the special armed forces that dealt with superhumans in superhero comics, like DC's ARGUS or Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D.
However, after brief thought using the mind Stewie had helped him sharpen, Wesley realized this was a thankless job and rejected it without hesitation.
Even so, the White House didn't give up on courting him and continued showing him favor.
If he hadn't witnessed Chris's true strength before, Wesley might have indeed sought an official position and entered government service.
But after seeing real power, Wesley's perspective shifted.
After all, his current residence in the White House wasn't based on any position, but on Chris's undeniable and formidable power.
Understanding this fact, why would Wesley still chase those hollow external things?
What he wanted now was to continue honing his physique and skills, striving to become a top-tier fighter who surpassed his father.
Only then could he live the life he desired.
As Wesley's thoughts spun, Chris had no time to ponder his nominal student's ideas; he stood up, picked up Stewie, and turned to walk toward Wesley.
"Looks like the matter's been resolved. I wonder how our President managed to convince the Brits."
Chris thought of the difficult problem he'd given Bush Jr. and wanted to know the outcome quickly.
After all, although America had effectively become Britain's parent, making Britain lose face and resources for no reason clearly wouldn't be easy.
"We cannot agree to what you're proposing!"
Before even entering the office, Chris heard authentic British English coming from within.
"We don't know what considerations led you to make such a rude request, but we, Great Britain, will absolutely not engage in such undignified, humiliating acts that surrender national sovereignty."
"That's right! If you want to kiss up to that so-called visitor from a parallel universe, America, you do it yourselves! If he dares to invade our Britain, I'll let him know that our Royal Navy is not to be messed with."
One angry rebuke after another came from the Oval Office, but apart from the scolding of the British officials, the officials from the other countries remained silent.
Seeing the atmosphere grow cold, the British official sensed things weren't looking good and quickly spoke up: "China, Russia, why don't you say something!"
"You should be the ones who understand this situation the most. This isn't just harming our national interests; it's an insult to our entire human civilization! Are you just going to stand by and watch?"
The Russian representative listened to the British representative's moral blackmail, let out a slight yawn of boredom, and then looked meaningfully at the Chinese representative.
In less than a century, had this generation of British officials forgotten how they used to bully China?
The Chinese representative stood ramrod straight, staring intently at the display screen in front of him, which showed Chris's sky-walking scene.
However, compared to the blurry images captured by satellites at the time, this video had been restored and supplemented with many annotations to concretely demonstrate Chris's strength.
Watching the astonishing footage in the video, the Chinese representative also reviewed America's special invitation.
A visitor from a parallel universe whose world had developed largely similar to theirs, but was presented as a cartoon, and their seemingly unreasonable and bizarre demands.
Thinking that the other party's demand was to have his student defeat Britain's Royal Navy and Royal Air Force, and then claim sovereignty in London, not only did the Chinese representative find it ridiculous, but the representatives of other countries also found it equally absurd.
But precisely because it was so absurd, they felt this visitor from another world might indeed come from that world called Family Guy.
After an intensive crash course, they had a preliminary understanding of Family Guy.
It was precisely because of this that, apart from Britain, who had to pay the price and was extremely resistant, the other four countries adopted an indifferent attitude.
Because based on the strength Chris displayed, they currently had no way to deal with him.
Although their world also had mysterious powers, the fact that ordinary people still held the mainstream position indicated that the mysterious powers in their world couldn't yet contend with modern militaries.
So the French representative, who'd always been at odds with Britain, sneered, "Don't struggle. The demands they're making don't seem too difficult to me. Just treat it as an exercise, grin and bear it, and it'll be over."
The British representative glared back, just about to retort, when he heard his former 'colony,' now 'overlord,' chime in, "That's right, that's right. It's not that I don't want to help you—the problem is I'm also powerless to resist!
And I've already fought for you. Originally, they wanted a real fight, but after I convinced them, they agreed to change it to a simulated exercise. You should know when to quit while you're ahead!"
"You… you… you're going to be the death of me!"
The British representative stood up indignantly, pointing his finger at the representatives present, almost choking on his words.
