Chapter 325: Chapter 323: The One by Your Side
The next day.
In the morning.
At a coffee shop on Yixu Street.
Wei Tianyang, wearing sunglasses, leaned back in his chair, his coffee steaming hot, while Rada Gan placed a blue-covered sacred book on the table and sat across from him.
After the previous night, Wei Tianyang had prepared an outfit for him. They stayed overnight in a small town inn near the Azaha border, and now, they were ready to leave this land.
"Heisai State is a good place, and Eltoya is the richest country there. Opening a hotel there would not only keep us under the radar but also prevent us from going bankrupt due to poor business," Rada Gan said.
He tied his golden hair into a ponytail and wore a blue trench coat with a white shirt and dark black pants. The new brown leather shoes also fit well.
"Dig a big underground basement," Wei Tianyang said.
"How big? What do you plan to put in there?" Rada Gan asked.
"I have a nuclear bomb," Wei Tianyang said.
"Storing a nuclear bomb requires a temperature and humidity control system. Does it have launch capabilities?" Rada Gan pondered, stroking his chin.
"Only the bomb. I still don’t know what to do with it; hopefully, I’ll never have to use it," Wei Tianyang said.
He picked up the sacred book on the table and flipped through it, the text in a Western script that he couldn’t understand.
"This is the new version they rushed to print over the past six months. The biggest change is that in the New Century Chapter, they added the part where ’Rada Gan’ reincarnates as you, blocking the nuclear bomb and announcing his return," Rada Gan said.
"Such a move is both idiotic and superfluous. Can’t these religious people see how obviously fake it is?" Wei Tianyang asked.
Rada Gan chuckled and said, "Nobody is a fool; everyone knows it’s fake."
Wei Tianyang was even more puzzled and asked, "Then what do they believe in?"
"Instead of asking what they still believe in... it’s more like, they have no other gods to believe in," Rada Gan said.
Wei Tianyang fell silent.
"What do people live by? Tell me, Yishenmali?" Rada Gan said with a smile.
"Food, drinking water, healthcare, a decent job, and an income that can sustain life, plus a house, and a stable world," Wei Tianyang said.
"People can’t live by bread alone, Yishenmali. The human body is stronger than we think, and also much more fragile than we realize. Ascetics maintain the bare minimum calorie intake and can last for months in harsh conditions, whereas some people quickly succumb to despair and die when they lose their spiritual support," Rada Gan said, casting his gaze toward the coastline at the end of the street below.
There were not many merchant ships on the sea anymore. After the religious civil war, many shops had closed. This beautiful city had become an exquisite, dilapidated cage.
"People live by faith. It’s unrelated to religion. Faith doesn’t necessarily have to be in deities; it can also be in an ideology, a thought."
"They pursue an eternal paradise that’s supposedly right beneath their feet, yet they cling to a storybook and torment themselves," Rada Gan said.
"It’s those politicians. They’re just looking for a sufficient reason for their actions. The public opinion they’ve stirred up has drowned them as well; they’re reaping what they’ve sowed," Wei Tianyang said.
"It’s their choice. After you performed that miracle in Libitelli, I lost their adoration. They questioned me if I could do the same," Rada Gan said.
"You can deceive them," Wei Tianyang said.
"I’ll incite, but I never deceive. Rada Gan in the holy scriptures never deceives either. He is probably a creation of the Yixu people, modeled after their idea of perfection," Rada Gan said.
"So gold can’t buy them anymore? I later realized that gold isn’t just hard currency; it’s also needed in the production of electronic products. Actually, you’re quite significant," Wei Tianyang said.
"I don’t want to work for anyone anymore. Besides, I can only turn people into gold, which means my money is tainted with blood," Rada Gan said.
"That’s not a problem. There are too many damn people in this world, and money is always in short supply," Wei Tianyang took a sip of coffee.
"Do you have anyone in Heisai State who can help? Constructing and operating a hotel is no simple matter," Rada Gan said.
Wei Tianyang shook his head and said, "If I wished, the moment I speak, several countries’ Presidents would promise to help, and then within a week, a new hotel would appear on Earth. But that would defeat the purpose."
Rada Gan instantly understood his intention.
"I get it, you don’t want anyone to know the hotel is related to you," Rada Gan said.
Wei Tianyang nodded and said, "I need a place that can exist undisturbed, without relying on others, where I can keep some... strange things."
"Do you have any requirements for the hotel’s design, size, or specific decorative style?" Rada Gan asked.
"It doesn’t need to be too luxurious or too big, but also not too small. Four to five floors, accommodating about 300 guests, a bit selective about customers, allowing for specialized services... Good sound insulation, and the overall décor should be somewhat classical, with black as the dominant color," Wei Tianyang said.
"I understand. But this can’t be hurried. I can’t get it done in one or two months," Rada Gan said.
Wei Tianyang nodded. If this were entrusted to Spencer, perhaps it would be done quickly, but that would be meaningless.
Rada Gan had only recently freed himself from captivity. On his trip to Heisai State, he carried with him only a thousand Langke that Wei Tianyang had given him. He needed to settle down locally, figure out a way to produce gold, then find a way to spend it...
It would only be once his gold could connect with the local underground networks and be traded for various goods and services that he could start thinking about building the hotel.
Moreover, to build a hotel on a scale similar to that of Pei Guode, including procuring materials and the decoration, would take at least a year.
"You still have plenty of time. I can wait. Besides, I don’t currently have someone to operate a hotel," Wei Tianyang said.
"First choose a good location; after all, no one is going to give us land for free," Wei Tianyang said.
Rada Gan nodded, stood up, and left.
He had only walked a few steps when he stopped, turned around, and knelt on one knee, performing a knightly gesture of respect.
"Stop with all that. We’re just crazies on drugs, and sooner or later, people like us will get what we deserve," Wei Tianyang said.
"Let’s talk about that when the time comes. Until then, I’m your Golden Knight," Rada Gan said with a smile, twirling his right hand twice in the air.
Wei Tianyang also raised two fingers, mimicking a sword, and made two cutting motions in the void, as if tapping Rada Gan’s shoulder twice.
"Do you still want to keep going by ’Rada Gan’?" Wei Tianyang asked.
"There’s nothing wrong with it. I’ve gotten used to it. I’ve cut ties with my past self. Now, I am Rada Gan. Not the one from the scriptures, but the one standing by Wei Tianyang," Rada Gan said as he stood up.
Having said that, he turned around, waved, and walked towards the airport.
