The God Virus

Chapter 176: What Happened?

So, raising his head once again, looking at the CEO ugly, he began to talk, "Mr. Greg… about those names on the contract… are they really necessary? I mean I'm the President, you know? So I believe my signature would suffice, no?"

After thinking for around a second, the CEO ugly responded, "With all due respect Mr. President… you're not powerful enough to agree to this kind of contract… and let's say even if you have that kind of authority which I'm pretty sure you don't… even then, the next President after you might just come and say, the deal is off! I wasn't the one signing it… so what does it have to do with me?"

"But, how do I convince so many people to sign this kind of contract? I don't even recognize some of these people… I don't even believe some of them have any authority in the country…" With a deep frown on his face, he said.

"That's your problem, Mr. President. However, I'm pretty sure after knowing about the content of the contract which has to do with the cure… they'll eventually come around even if it takes them some time… I mean… between the two options of signing the contract in order to live and saving the country or not signing which would result in their death, the outcome and their choices are pretty obvious if they're still sane, right? " The CEO ugly elaborated.

'Why does it look like I'm negotiating with terrorists…' With some amusement, the President thought unconsciously.

After a short look into the President's eyes, he continued, "Moreover, about those people that you don't recognize… you still have to get them to sign the contract… because the chairman definitely has his own reasons for making them a part of the list."

"Sigh… even though I don't see the point of them signing the contract… but okay… I'll do as the contract says… and about everyone signing it… hmmm, you're right… let's not talk about saving the country since not everyone among the higher-ups cares about such a thing, however, if they realize they can save their own and their families' lives like this… I'm sure they'll come around and agree even if it takes some times." After some deep thought, the President voiced while nodding his head.

CULTIVATION EARTH

After Howar was taken away, Virus was about to walk away into the dark tunnel when he was stopped by the judge elder's voice, "Stop, your next match is going to start right now… and the result of this match is going to determine the second member of the top two list."

"Hmm…" Hearing the judge elder's words, Virus turned around as he asked back, "Was the other spot in the top two already determined?"

"Yes… anyway, no need to leave… your next match is going to begin soon."

"I see… okay." Virus replied as he unconsciously thought about his next opponent which unconsciously brought a smile on his face.

Two minutes later, as Virus was patiently sitting in the middle of the Colosseum with his eyes closed, suddenly, from the dark tunnel, the sound of footsteps was heard and soon, the silhouette of someone began to appear in everyone's line of sight.

"Oh, he's here!" A rather loud voice of someone was heard from the spectator's area.

"He's indeed here… who do you think is going to win?" A disciple asked his buddy who was sitting by his side.

"Isn't that obvious? I mean… Vee was already totally at his limits while facing senior brother Howar whose rank fluctuates between the fifth and sixth rank… but now… facing the third strongest disciple on the ranking of the Superior disciples who is much more stronger than senior brother Howar… I would say the outcome is pretty obvious even now, right?" His friend replied.

"I admit, your analysis makes sense… but still for Vee to come this far without any kind of cultivation is already amazing… I mean… he's just a freaking mortal, you know?" The previous one uttered.

"Yeah… he totally doesn't deserve all of this glory… since it's all because of that ring of his! Without the ring… he's nothing and even I as an Inferior disciple would be able to kill him a hundred times over with just a simple blow from my mouth." Hearing the conversation, Brooc, who happened to sit beside those two, couldn't stop himself from proclaiming filled with disdain and anger as he remembered how Virus had defeated him.

"Tch… just an inferior being and you dare to talk to us… we're from the Normal disciples' area you know?… So don't you freaking talk to us again or else we would teach you some memorable lessons, understood, inferior bitch?" One of the buddies said.

"Yes…" Gritting his teeth, Brooc replied as he quietly remembered those two disciples' faces.

At the same time, in another spot in the spectator's area, currently, a certain someone had locked her eyes on Virus who seemed to be meditating in the middle of the colosseum as she thought like she was both talking to Virus and praying at the same time, 'Junior brother… you're truly amazing… I'm still having a hard time believing that you're already in the top four… but please be careful… you have to stay okay and come out of this in one piece!'

However, remembering how he could hardly win against his previous opponent, she began to grow even more worried as her anxiety shooted up.

THAT NIGHT

At this moment, the Security was driving the car while Ella was sitting in the back, "Miss, which nightclub should I be going to?" Looking from the rear-view mirror, the Security ugly inquired.

"Hmm… I googled about that home and saw that a nightclub called Avalon is pretty famous right now… also, I liked its interior design and overall atmosphere… so let's go there, Security bro." Ella stated, placing a finger under her chin.

"Alright, miss… tell me the address." When he heard Ella himself 'Security bro', unlike the Legal ugly who felt rather surprised when he head Ella call him 'Legal bro', the Security ugly felt almost no such emotions since he had been on the island most of the times and thus hadn't been around his maser a lot, so as a result, he still had not developed that kind of unconscious longing for something else to be attached to his title other than the word 'ugly'.

"I think the address which was written on the internet was' Sixth Avenue'…" Filled with some doubt, Ella replied.

"Okay… I will make sure by asking around myself and … I'll also tell the other bodyguards to bring your friends there." Nodding his head, the Security ugly stated.

"Oh, by the way… where's the Legal bro?" Suddenly, remembering that the Legal ugly wasn't around even though he had promised to protect her earlier, she decided to inquire about it in order to make sure he's fine.

"Hmm? The Legal ugly had to go back since something very urgent came up at work… though he told me to say sorry to you…" The Security ugly notified.

"Hmmm… if it was something urgent… there's nothing we can do about it… so as long as he's fine… it's okay. Also, there is still you! So, protect me and my friends well please, Security bro." Accompanied by an elated smile, Ella muttered.

"Haha, please don't worry, miss. I'll protect you until my last breath!" The Legal ugly replied as he thought, 'Though I don't breathe.'

Jovially, Ella voiced, "Hehe… thank you, Security bro, that makes me feel really secure… oh… right, there's another question that's been on my mind recently…"

"What is it?"

"Hmm, how are you and the other uglies so strong? I mean where did Ai find such strong guys from? Oh and also… how can all of you be ugly without any exception? What happened? Is this a coincidence or… also, are you guys brothers or something?" With a little difficulty, Ella opened her lips as she threw the questions which had been bothering her for a while now since she was truly curious to know the answer to them. Though, she had still controlled herself from saying 'How can all of you be 'so' ugly' and instead, just used the word 'ugly' alone.

With imaginary tears appearing in the corners of his eyes, feeling wronged, the Security ugly thought, 'It's no coincidence alright? And what happened? Well… your boyfriend happened!'
