542. Under Attack

Alexander saw the Secretary of War and he looked just like he imagined him to be. Fat, greasy, and arrogant. He reeked of corruption.

"Ah, so the Amestrian are ready to talk to us now? I thought we were too lowly for them to talk to us. Well, you are welcome then. My name is James Robertson" He proudly said.

He read his sins first.

~Oh my god, what is wrong with this man.~

"And I am Alexander Maxim Universe, also, are you delusional?" Alexander inquired.

"What do you mean?" James asked him with a frown on his face.

"You know, you seem too proud for a person whose country is on the brink of a collapse. Whose country's people are on the brink of death due to starvation. But I see you have enough food to feed hundreds." Alexander said while looking around at the office. There was even a big cabinet with various alcoholic drinks.

"You are not the one who should be talking about this. It is your country that has done this to us. If it was not for Amestris, Creta and her people would be living in prosperity." James shouted.

Alexander scoffed, "From what I know, your states are also in a constant fight with each other, even before Amestris, your people were dying. But I do agree that Amestris is also the reason for lots of deaths here. They just acted as the catalyst and made your country go bad much faster.

"That is why I am here with a deal. The war can be over as long as your government agrees to it." Alexander made his intention clear. He was also not going to negotiate with this man as he was not going to be living for long with his sins percentage.

"What is this deal?"James asked with greed in his eyes. Alexander simply looked in his mind to see what was going on.

Alexander didn't like what he saw in there. The man was planning on hijacking the deal if it had money involved. Then he would try to mold things so he would gain the most out of it.

Alexander looked at his past to see how does he have such guts. It turned out, he was the leader of the political party that was in the power in the country. The President of Creta was a young man in his 30s and he won fair and square, but now, he's being pressed and forced to let James do whatever he wants or else he would lose the support of his party.

James was influencing the national federal government by indirectly using the president as his pawn. The president wanted to end the war years ago, also, because of the war, they had postponed the new elections indefinitely. James wanted to stay in power.

He diverted the funds sent to help people fight hunger and towards the war effort. But that was futile because they were going to lose no matter what. Alexander remembered the Vietnam war but even that was nothing as compared to here.

Alexander felt disgusted by him.

"You are just the secretary of War. I need to meet the president and his whole cabinet. The main decision-makers of this country. I will tell them my deal personally." Alexander said.

James sneered but agreed. He still wanted to be the puppet master so he needed to act like one.

"Okay, I will relay that the envoy from Amestris wants to meet the president." He picked up his phone and called the president.

After a few minutes, he looked at Alexander, "Let's go. We need to reach the capital. It won't take too long. You came alone?"

"Yes, I am alone."Alexander nodded.

James laughed while going out. "Haha, your Amestris government is either crazy or they think you are some kind of god, to send their envoy alone in an enemy territory."

They took a seat in a car and headed to the capital city of the country. They were supposed to go through a jungle. There were about ten more military cars escorting them.

Things went on normally most of the way. But, trouble came when they reached the jungle.

*BOOM*

*BOOM*

Suddenly, the loud noise of explosions started coming from forward. Alexander peeked out of the car and saw the cars in the front escorting them were being stopped by a single man, getting turned into scrap under the strikes of his hands and then being swallowed by it.

~That is certainly not a human.~ Alexander thought.

"YOU! did you plan all this?" James questioned him scaredly.

"No, I didn't plan anything. I don't even know what is going on." Alexander clarified.

*BOOM*

Suddenly the door from James's side was pulled out and there it was. A short but huge human was standing there. He was bald and had a big round nose. He had some kind of red line going down from his shoulder to his whole arm.

"ARE YOU THE MIRACLE MAN? My sister said I can eat him." the man asked James.

He caught James in his hand and brought him close to his face.

James was close to peeing in his pants. "NO! I'm not the one you're looking for. It's him. That guy."

But the round man still opened his mouth to an unnatural width, "Oh, then I will eat him after eating you,"

James cried in fear, "Save me, General."

But Alexander instead put him in Time Torture. Where he was to live the life of every single person he wronged in his life. He'll be the woman he r*ped, the child who died of hunger, the soldier who died due to war he continued.

"I don't think I will," Alexander said and ignored him. He looked back and there were still many soldiers remaining. They were scared but still held their guns out.

Then the strange man swallowed James and looked at Alexander. Alexander asked him, "What is your name?"

"I am Gluttony. Are you the Miracle Man?" Gluttony asked.

"Yes I am, but if you want to eat me, then you're gonna have to fight for this meal," Alexander replied with a smile.

"Hehe, then I will, my sister said I can go all out today." Gluttony cheered.

"Where is your sister?" Alexander asked.

"BEHIND YOU!" a soft voice came from behind him.

*TING*

A beautiful woman stood there with her claw-like long nails, trying to pierce his skin and penetrate his heart. However, the nails clanked on his skin as if he was made of iron.

Alexander chuckled, "Haha... you're gonna have to do a lot more than that if you want to defeat me."

The woman looked at him with shocked eyes. Then she looked at her nails.
