CHAPTER 12

John looked at the person who had sent him an invitation. The man smiled and said, "Our governor general would like to invite you. Both of them had been relieved of their duties for making you angry."

John said, "I am happy with their punishment. They should not be allowed to step into the civil field any longer. I am ready to meet your governor general."

The man said, "I will take care of it. When should I arrange it sir?"

John said, "How about now?"

The man said, "Yes sir. I will arrange it."

John smiled and entered the car and went to the place. He waited for a long time and did not have to wait much longer before he entered the governor's house. He went inside and was invited by the governor. He smiled and went to him and smiled. The man stood up and greeted him and said, "I am Grayson, the governor of the state of Xaveland."

John smiled and said, "John Metal."

John sat down and he also did it. Grayson said, "We are sorry for making you angry. Is there anything that we need to make you happy."

John said, "There is nothing that needs to be done. What do you really want? There are many methods to ask for apology and you have done something in a different manner. What do you really need?"

Grayson said, "We have already asked. We need more nuclear materials. Seeing that you can control the nuclear bombs, the question remains. Can you give us one?"

John said, "If you want I can give you nuclear bomb and something of the same effect."

Grayson asked, "Like what?"

John said, "Extreme temperature rod. The rod will have the temperature of a million kelvin within the moment it is activated and can be controlled remotely. We also have the rods of heaven. You can look at the satellites with the name metal. We also have a dragon made of metal that can fly, attack cities."

Grayson asked, "What do you need?"

John said, "There is nothing that I need."

Grayson asked, "What do you think is power?"

John said, "Power is power."

Grayson said, "The power is the ability to do something. There are many things that are considered as the power. The ability to walk is power, the ability to kill is power, the ability to use missiles is the power, the ability to wipe out with a city is the power, the ability to survive from an assassination is power and the ability to command soldiers is power. There are many kinds of power and you are extremely rich and one of the strongest one in the world. You are far above me. Only the one who stands above can understand the power of the one standing above. Those both thought that they could get something from you and failed but they never understood your power. I understand you and understand that none in this world can touch you unless many countries come together to bring you down but they cannot. Your source of resources are not found."

John asked, "What do you mean?"

Grayson said, "You are one of the strongest. The reason you have this power is because you already have a strong military behind you and you are strong yourself. The power you have here is not because of your military. The reason you have the power is because of the need. Demand and supply is the reason of your power as you are the one who supplies the demand we have. There is no one who can replace you as they cannot replace you but the demand stays the same. But if you are one of the few who can really sell the nuclear weapons and strategic weapons, then your power in this world will rise."

John said, "You are trying to incite me. I do not like the political power too much because the political power is too fickle. The fickle power is because the political power depends on communication. The society is like a machine and the one who stand at the top is the king. They can be replaced anytime as the machine is self-protecting up to a certain time. The king is worthless but the system is. The strongest one is the one who uses the system and becomes the strong. I have no need for such power."

Grayson said, "The political power may not last long and needs constant input every once in a while. But the output is also something that is interesting."

John said, "The idea is interesting. It is a big hassle as I will have to face many challenges. It is better to stand at the top as I am ready. I will stand sooner or later as I am strong enough and some fool like the ones I met yesterday will challenge me. I will help you for letting me step on the stage of the international politics. What do you want?"

Grayson smiled and said, "Nuclear bombs."

John said, "Can you believe the nuclear bombs that I sell to you?"

Grayson said, "I cannot. How about some activated uranium and plutonium? There are many methods to make it. We can try to make it."

John said, "I will give you what you asked for. How about I destroy some islands to show off my power?"

Grayson smiled, "I would like that. There is an area filled with terrorists. They are the remnants of the previous regime. You can try it there."

John said, "Sure. I will kill the thymocytes. I hate female dominant societies."

Grayson said, "What do we need to pay for the act?"

John said, "Publicize it."

Grayson said, "Sure."

John released a rod from the satellite. John smiled and said, "It will be destroyed in some minutes. What are your plans? You will be facing the world with me."

Grayson went to the side and took some wine and gave it to John and said, "Elthia was the strongest country in this planet. Ever since the time of the enlightenment our nation was the largest and strongest in the world. We had to pushed down to nothing more than a second-rate country due to not having strategic weapons. It was not something that could hold us down. We had more soldiers than them, we had more money than them, we had more aircraft carriers and had more fighter and tanks. There are many reasons we are able to stand as one of the strongest and become a top country."

John said, "The other countries are stronger than you even without the strategic weapons. Skalacion, United Jarluke, Awaciva are above your country. You will win and become stronger as the countries cannot face a war. I will fight my own wars. I can strike places with my rods from heaven for a particular price. Ten billions rubbles per shot."

Grayson said, "You should use Pele."

John said, "Rubbles are more valuable. Pele stands the third with rubies the first. Send the money to my account. I will be rising my own way. There is no country who will keep my money. You can call me when necessary."

Grayson asked, "Are you leaving. We can have some meeting."

John said, "I have no interest in such things. I am leaving."

John stood and left the room and went back to his hotel. He decided to wait for the fight.
