Chapter 232: 054. Colonist Nightmare

He spoke with such righteous indignation that he couldn’t help but shed two tears himself.

At that moment, in the eyes of the people, was he about to be perceived as a heroic martyr as he was being escorted to the police car?

However, the next moment, he saw with his own eyes Frost Plated man, his face smeared with gunpowder, step onto the stage and politely say to everyone:

"Hello, everyone. I am Barnum Ziegrin, an employee of GTB."

"As a Frost Plated man, I feel it’s my duty to clarify some actual situations about my beautiful homeland."

"First, I don’t live in a large mansion; even in the Frost Plated countryside, there are more bungalows and Hive Apartments than anything else."

"Second, dishwashing jobs used to pay about 3000 Derby a month, but it’s not that high now because restaurants are using dishwashers."

"Third, among over two thousand college students of my year, there were only forty men on campus, thirty-eight of whom were sons of senators and bankers."

"Fourth, Frost Plated exports expensive oil to the colonies because Frost Plated itself has over seven hundred nuclear power stations; our cars, planes, and even some tanks are electric, and our Mobile Armor is nuclear-powered. Selling oil to you partly aims to pollute your environment and control that your birth rate wouldn’t be too high, and on the other hand, it’s to bundle sell you air purifiers."

"Fifth."

Barnum paused, glanced at Chen Muci who was glaring at him furiously, and said with a touch of confusion:

"Generally, Frost Plated women hold the utmost contempt for transgender people."

Just as Chen Muci was about to burst into curses, the Bemudes’s soldiers laughingly stuffed him into the police car.

"This is gender discrimination!" Chen Muci shouted, "I am a woman! You can’t lay a hand on me. I want to seek asylum at the Frost Plated Embassy. I’m not going with you."

"Don’t worry, we are going to take you to see Frost Plated people soon," the laughed.

"—Really?" Chen Muci looked at their expressions, which seemed sincere, and hesitated for a moment, "You... really taking me there?"

"Yes, we are taking you to see some authentic Frost Plated people," said the Bemudes’s warriors with a grin, "Famous ones at that."

Minutes later, when Chen Muci was dragged out of the vehicle and faced the ’Frost Plated celebrity’, he fell completely silent.

"Good evening, ma’am," Mr. Leoz casually said as he smirked and looked at her, "Doesn’t your Colonist Party adore foreigners? What do you think? Do you like me volunteering here?"

Chen Muci glared.

"Leoz, you traitor to this great nation! A rebel ungrateful for your blessings!"

—This thought crossed his mind, but when it reached his lips, it mutated into subconscious sycophancy and flattery:

"Beautiful sir, I indeed admire you. You are Venus, Aphrodite, and Apollo, the summation of all that is lovely in the world, everything about Frost Plating is wonderful, and having a hero like you is extraordinary indeed. It is only due to the virtues accumulated by my ancestors that I have the chance to meet you in person."

Chen Muci was merely a mortal. Confronted with Leoz’s overwhelming charm and power, he didn’t dare to be presumptuous and instantly exhibited his true fawning nature.

"Hero?" Leoz tilted his head, "So, I’m a woman now—should I get someone to draw an ’effeminized Leoz’ for you to take home? Hmm, you probably can’t do that yourself."

"That’s fine, that’s fine. I can manage it, I can do it, as long as it makes you happy, I’m willing to do whatever."

Chen Muci nodded and bowed repeatedly, incessantly apologizing.

His actions insulted women, men, and even transgender people; everyone from Bemudes, regardless of gender, felt a profound disgust.

"Don’t say that, I’m not a bad person." Li Aozi shrugged, "Who funded your Colonist Party? Third Rule?"

"No, not them, it was Fourth Rule," Chen Muci said tremulously, "Our Colonist Party hasn’t done anything wrong, just spread the evil acts committed by Bemudes—terrorist attacks, murders, gender discrimination—to other countries."

Li Aozi glanced at the Bemudes warriors present, men and women, and actually, because the men had gone out to patrol and suppress the enemies, there were more female soldiers present.

"Have you been to Frost Plated?"

"That is my unseen homeland!"

"How much money did you make from Fourth Rule?"

"A full two thousand Derby, to be honest, it’s what we deserve. Although our lineage is Grante, our next generation will surely become noble Frost Plated People. Our evil skin color will change, thoroughly renewed from head to toe."

"Then have you ever thought about what would happen to the Grantians in Frost Plated?"

Li Aozi was surprised:

"Frost Plated People don’t care whether you are from Bemudes or sent by the Duke, they, after hearing your propaganda, will only think Grantians are evil and weak."

"How can you say that? Being bullied by Frost Plated People is their honor," Chen Muci retorted, "Frost Plated is an advanced civilization, they have their reasons for whatever they do. As the weaker ones, Grantians are definitely at fault if they get bullied. Frost Plated is not wrong. It’s Grantians who should reflect."

"Pfft—"

Li Aozi couldn’t hold it in any longer.

As a professional broadcaster, he prided himself on his expression management, but now he genuinely couldn’t help it anymore. He stepped on the coffee table, one hand on his stomach, the other pointing at the ’man’ kneeling on the ground defending Frost Plated, tears almost laughing out.

"Ahahaha—You’re really something, I must admit, Fourth Rule has good taste in people. You were born for this rare material."

Li Aozi felt inferior.

He initially felt he emigrated to the Red Arrow Empire after being persecuted to death by Frost Plated, so it was somewhat improper to speak on behalf of Frost Plated People. But to his surprise, Chen Muci hadn’t even gotten a green card and was already insistently whitewashing Frost Plated.

"He already likes Frost Plated, What else can you do?" Xi Silong said helplessly. "The Colonist Party is a group of madmen, they believe Frost Plated People will come to save them. But they have many members domestically. If we don’t solve this, we’ll be dragged down by their public opinion."

"Heh, terrorists." Chen Muci dared not speak recklessly to Li Aozi, but he scoffed sarcastically at his compatriots, "A long historic legacy of Grante, the Sulut Palace from the old era was barbarically demolished by you, you’ve committed crimes against humanity."

"That was trampled by Duke Gamos," Li Aozi reminded him.

"Trampling by Gamos is good! Such a product of feudal dregs is a poison to people’s souls, a shackle on their thoughts!"

This Ochumelov-style volte-face truly shocked everyone present, they couldn’t believe that Chen Muci, for the sake of flattering Frost Plated People, had abandoned even his dignity.

"This is how it is, actually you haven’t done anything wrong." Li Aozi had Barnum take out a stack of contracts and hand them to Chen Muci, "You make an appearance and announce, on behalf of the Colonist Party, the acknowledgment of the Republic government."

"Mr. Leoz, I have my own principles."

"This is a temporary employment contract from GTB; you can use this to buy a flight ticket to Frost Plated."

Barnum explained:

"A green card in Frost Plated only needs seven years of work, an existing employment relation, and a fixed residence. Once in Frost Plated, you directly go to the immigration office to fill out the form, and they will arrange for you to move to the new forward-moving city."

"What a joke, whether by law or in fact, the Grante Republic is of course the legitimate government."
