Camason listened with a pounding heart to the sporadic gunfire outside the armored vehicle, having already followed the National Guard into Washington. At this mont, the National Guard was battling the Washington D.C. police forces and an unknown ard group.
Just an hour earlier, the Iridium Star Chancellor Bai Zhongqi's global declaration had also appeared in Washington. Bai Zhongqi claid that the Lighthouse Country was a nation controlled by the Brain Worm, causing a massive shock. At that ti, Camason had already won over the Commander of the Washington D.C. National Guard, leading about a thousand National Guardsn to initiate a coup.
The sudden entry of the National Guard had thrown President Trump into a panic, and he prepared to imdiately call in the Army and other state National Guards to retaliate. However, Camason's approach was so abrupt, and Washington D.C. lacked any special defenses, leaving Trump with no choice but to order the police forces and even called on the public to take up arms to protect him.
The police forces and militias were clearly no match for the chanized National Guard soldiers. Infantry fighting vehicles smashed through the police's makeshift barricades, assaulting the temporary White House where Trump was located.
Upon reaching the temporary White House, most of the Secret Service personnel had already dispersed. The chaos in the city let these agents know that they couldn't possibly withstand the National Guard's heavy weaponry. Moreover, the information about the Brain Worm spread by Bai Zhongqi, coupled with news of an imminent invasion by Teizene, left the agents uncertain about who was in the right in this struggle.
There were those who stuck to so-called procedural justice, insisting on protecting Trump, but they were quickly dealt with.
In the end, Camason entered the temporary White House. He had been here hundreds of tis and even had pleasant conversations with Trump, never expecting that he would enter it in such a manner today.
Over his shirt, he wore a bulletproof vest, while flanked by four Mobile Soldiers sent by Bai Zhongqi to protect him. Camason had already seen the prowess of these Star Alliance Mobile Soldiers, who could easily flip an armored vehicle with a wave of a hand, even nimbly dodging cannon shells from tanks.
In his hand, Camason held a mobile phone, his personal device, which had an app downloaded for detecting Brain Worms. He scanned a seemingly innocent employee trying to escape, and the app interface imdiately turned red. Without his needing to speak, a Mobile Soldier shot the employee dead with one shot.
Another Mobile Soldier sliced open the employee's brain, seeing the still wriggling Brain Worm inside.
Camason felt a wave of nausea but it was much better than at the beginning. He couldn't imagine until now that so many Brain Worms had been around him. These horrific parasites had truly taken control of the political scene in the Lighthouse Country and were steadily exerting their negative influence.
Upon entering Trump's office, the man, who always behaved like soone with ADHD, was standing on his desk with a handgun, firing a few shots at the entering Mobile Soldiers. Unfortunately, the Mobile Soldiers, clad in Army-Breaker Armor, were indifferent to such low-caliber gunfire.
After Trump ran out of bullets, Camason then walked in from outside the door.
"Camason, I knew you, that bastard, were up to no good! I promoted you from a nobody to the president of the Lighthouse Country, and you betray !"
Seeing Trump, Camason, however, remained very calm. He said, "There's no need to hide it anymore, your conspiracies have been exposed. We the people of the Lighthouse Country will no longer be enslaved and ruled by you. True freedom is coming!"
"What nonsense are you talking, you rebel!" Trump scread like a woman, stomping on the desk, looking like a clumsy orangutan.
A Mobile Soldier raised his weapon, and a bullet shot through Trump's skull sending blood spraying. Camason, seeing this scene, still couldn't help but feel alard.
Trump fell heavily from the desk, his eyes wide open, dead with a stare of defiance.
Camason, upon seeing the cadaver, felt so reluctance in his heart.
A few Mobile Soldiers had checked the office and were about to leave the room.
Camason suddenly stopped one of the Mobile Soldiers and asked, "Why haven't you opened up his head?"
The Iridium Star Mobile Soldier didn't even open his visor and shrugged off the vice president's hand, saying coldly, "It's pointless, Mr. President."
The title of Camason had changed; after the death of King Chuān, as the Vice President, he had naturally beco the successor, even though he was the murderer of the forr president. The entire political and business landscape of Lighthouse Country had been shaken like an earthquake, leaving no one to bother about anything else.
Camason's emotions were complex, and sowhat frantic. He demanded in a trembling voice, "Cut open his head!" Read exclusive chapters at My Virtual Library Empire
The Mobile Soldier glanced at Camason, then dropped a sharp military knife and said, "I won't do it. If you want to, do it yourself."
With that, the Mobile Soldiers left.
Camason picked up the military knife from the ground, hesitating. About a minute later, Camason stood up, gritted his teeth, and walked over to the corpse of King Chuān.
Perhaps using up all the courage he had in this life, Camason cut open King Chuān's head. Blood soaked him, and a white, semi-solid, semi-liquid substance flowed out. Camason saw it clearly—it was a human brain.
In an instant, Camason's face turned crimson and then pale. He pulled out the Sunarmon Mobile Phone Bai Zhongqi had given him and made a video call to Bai Zhongqi.
"You lied! You lied! He's not a Brain Worm!" Camason raged.
In the video, Bai Zhongqi remained unmoved and said indifferently, "Does it make a difference whether he is a Brain Worm or not?"
Camason was dumbstruck and speechless for a long while. Even though King Chuān was not a Brain Worm, he had seen too many of them. These horrifying creatures, even if not controlling the actual politicians, could be highly placed as, say, public relations managers or lobbying specialists, or even as the unseen financiers and puppeteers behind the scenes.
Camason was well aware that ultimately, this politics was still controlled by this group of alien parasites. Previously, he could find reasons related to interests in their actions, which didn't seem much different from human politicians. However, they were not human, but rather the vanguards of an alien force invading Earth, the criminals who disrupted Earth's peace and developnt.
Bai Zhongqi spoke again, "Mr. Camason, congratulations on becoming the new President of Arica. The era has chosen you, and your people are counting on you. I look forward to our agreed collaborations comncing soon. We can't wait—Teizene's invading fleet will arrive in two years, and we must undertake the responsibility of defending this world."
Camason regained his composure but still looked at Bai Zhongqi with a sowhat stiff expression. He said, "Your Excellency Chancellor, Arica will provide all necessary resources and assistance as agreed to repel the alien invasion."
