Done. 49 minutes for the government and only 13 for the bank, a new record I’d say, I even got myself a little under one hour to spare, it shouldn’t matter much if I waste it though, with the number of funds I embezzled from the bank, I would have enough money to last a lifetime if I was planning on making it normal of course. The real challenge starts now.

I have enough information that I could compromise the two countries and make them fall into chaos at a moments notice, now to spread the message, let’s use Woom, I’ll set up enough firewalls so that they’d never be able to crack them to track me, and set up false coordinates in case. I can’t take any chances.

Copying the data and coding from Woom, to create my own communication platform barely took 10 minutes, but I couldn’t use a public video chatting service for what I’m about to do, it’s a terrible idea. I made sure only my voice can be heard but both of their faces will be visible, I can’t hide the future comrades in arms against the world to not see each other, thankfully I also carried the auto-translate feature over from Woom otherwise this could have been troublesome. . Since I hacked into both of the countries’ most secure files, my made-up plot Hirenfa is planning to take over the two countries should be credible enough. I sure as hell hope this works, I only have one shot, I never believed in God, but damn, I pray they buy the fake information I set up to get them to work together.

DING!

Kim-Ha-Jul, the Korean leader/dictator, has been added to the call.

DING!

Zhao-Liu, the Chinese dictator, has been added to the call.

“What the hell is going on here!? What the shit's happenning,” Zhao Liu screamed in confusion.

“What’s happening here?!”, Kima-Ha-Jul then echoed, sounding less angry.

The voice modifier is on, coordinates are hidden and my video is off, time to pull of a con now.

“Welcome gentlemen. You can call me Silverwind, and as for the reason I am here, it’s because I believe I can be of assistance to both of you.”

“China needs no assistance! We will succeed on our own, I have no need of your help!” stated Zhao Liu, apparently he was offended by the thought.

“Korea can manage just fine on its own, we have no need for a stranger’s services.”, replied the other dictator, keeping his poker face.

“Oh I think you do, more than you know, here’s a little gift, from me to you enjoy, and reconsider your words after you see it.”

A sound echoed in the call from the side of the two leaders. Shortly after the faces of the two dictators lost all of their arrogance and Kim’s poker face crumbled, as the color left their faces and they turned pale both started worrying much more about what the mysterious caller could do.

Surprisingly, Zhao-Liu was the first one to retrieve his cool and tentatively started asking something.

“W-what do you want? What is actually going on here?”

“Well, my two new associates, what I just send you is enough inside information to make both of your countries sink in 24 hours. So now I will ask you, will you listen?”

“O-of course. Immediately!” the leader of Korea first answered.

“I have no problems whatsoever.” The Chinese dictator enthusiastically announced right after.

Everything’s going according to plan, for now, phase two starts now.

“Good. What you see here is the data I collected from hacking into both your countries’ most protected databases, this is just small leverage and insurance policy I had to get, however, don’t misunderstand me, I have no intention of using it.”

The faces of the two heads immediately relaxed from their previously tense expression, but now they expected more heart-stopping messages and readied their minds.

I continued.

“Just the fact I managed to get this info should be a testament to my skill, now, the reason I contacted you two today is for this.”

This is the crucial part. I send the fake plans of Hirenfa to take over the countries to them, and now I can only hope this works.

No amount of mental preparation could ready them for the surge of life-threatening information they just received. This was essentially a calling card dooming the two countries.

After receiving enough time to skim through it I started speaking again.

“This is why I called you here. Most of the world is already under Hirenfa’s shoe and scrambles for their approval. You both know if those plans come true none of you would survive, either because of a lack of manpower, or technological development.”

The two dictators showed a hint of rage at being made fun of in their countries’ weak spots, but they couldn’t do anything about it. The operators they contacted hadn’t been able to track the signal and even if they did, by now they had no choice but no listen to my proposal. This still didn’t discourage Kim-Ha, the most paranoid of the two, so he started questioning him.

“What exactly are you proposing here? There is no free meal in life, what do you want.”

“I don’t want anything,”

I lied through my teeth, my true objective can’t be revealed or everything will be for not.

“I simply want both of you to resist Hirenfa. The only thing I want is for Hirenfa to not control the world, I am simply giving you a mean and idea. My proposition is that you two ally. Korea would benefit from China’s huge manpower while China would be able to catch up to the times in terms of technology.”

The two dictators were shocked and couldn’t process what was happening.

“I’m also proposing that after your alliance, you launch a preemptive strike at Hirenfa before they attack you and force you on the defensive.”

Zhao-Liu started talking with his eyes still opened wide and his mouth still a bit open from the shock.

His facial features distorted as he spoke. His smooth black hair started to shrivel and as his head shook, move out of place, his green eyes were moving about everywhere, looking at all the details of his office quickly, and his very lightly, yellow-tinted skin started to crease.

“What you are proposing, if I understand correctly, is that we work together to start a war with the whole world?”

He still couldn’t believe what was happening and thought it was a terrible joke until I spoke again.

“Yes, that’s exactly what I mean.”

The eyes of the two bulged out of shock, and for the first time of the entire meeting, they both spoke in unison.

“I’ll think about it.”
