“In short, the medical stone slabs that Fangzheng left behind have to be made available to everyone. They are the treasures of mankind, so it’s only natural that they are made to benefit all humans.

“According to reliable sources, China possesses brand new technology. I feel that we should increase our technology exchange and meet each other’s wants.

“Secondly, we believe that China should open up its market and lower its tariffs…”

As he listed his terms, the faces of the Chinese diplomats on the opposite side darkened. In the end, they slammed the table and shouted angrily, “Do you think this is China from a hundred years ago? If you want to negotiate, you have to come up with a plan that’s practical and mutually beneficial. If you are just going to make demands, there’s no need for any further discussion!”

“Oh, Mr. Lu, there’s something I need to remind you of. I just received news that your Abbot Fangzheng trespassed on a hydrogen bomb test site. With a boom, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky… What a sad story,” the American diplomat said.

The Chinese diplomat’s expression changed when he heard that. It wasn’t because he was worried about the consequences of Fangzheng’s accident, but for the loss of Fangzheng.

The Chinese knew how much Fangzheng had contributed to China. Such a person deserved respect.

Hearing the bad news, they could not sit still anymore.

“Impossible! Why would Abbot Fangzheng enter such an area?” The Chinese diplomat refused to believe it.

The American diplomat chuckled. “I know you won’t believe me, so please watch a live broadcast with me. Oh… At the same time, this is also a global live broadcast. With such a great monk’s passing, it’s only right for the entire world to pray for him, right?”

Although that was what he said, everyone knew that the American diplomat was gloating. He was also expressing to the world that Fangzheng was dead… China’s greatest reliance was gone. This world would still have to do America’s bidding!

The lackeys of America were pumped and excited as they looked at the big screen.

It was unknown what high-tech technology America had used, but as soon as they swept lasers in, the recording could reach the center of the test site despite the smoke remaining. However, the interior of the explosion was covered in dust and there wasn’t much to see.

At the same time, there was a tiny screen by the side. It was a scene of Fangzheng entering the test site and flaunting in front of the camera.

Upon seeing this, no one suspected that Fangzheng had really walked into the test site… Instantly, everyone’s expressions changed.

“There are people in this world who are naturally powerful, but they are also born to tempt fate. With Abbot Fangzheng doing this, I’m afraid we won’t even find his ashes.”

“If not for this situation, I really would not believe that the god-like Fangzheng would die just like that.”

“Even God can die in such a terrifying explosion. Abbot Fangzheng is probably dead.”

“What a pity…”

Hearing these sarcastic remarks, the Chinese diplomats’ expressions turned ugly. They made a phone call to report the matter. The order they received was: “China relies on itself. No matter what happens, stand up straight. No one can disregard us and threaten us. At most, we can fight capitalism again!”

Therefore, the Chinese diplomat sat up straight. Although he felt sorry for Fangzheng’s death, he represented China. Against these powerful figures who were like wolves and tigers, all they had to do was face everything with courage, strength, and confidence!

“Now, can we have a good talk and renegotiate our conditions?” The American diplomat asked happily.

“We only accept fair negotiations. Any excessive requests will not be entertained no matter where or when,” the Chinese diplomat replied stubbornly.

“But you have to understand that I’m not only representing the United States, but also our allies,” the American diplomat laughed and said confidently.

At this moment, French diplomat exclaimed, “Look at the video!”

“Mr. Famille, as a gentleman, it doesn’t suit your temperament to be so surprised.” The American diplomat frowned. At the same time, he looked at the screen, and his mouth slowly widened.

He wasn’t the only one. The others were the same. Their eyes were fixed on the screen!

On the screen, at the center of the explosion, a figure could be vaguely seen amidst the dust!

“There’s someone?!” Someone exclaimed.

“That’s impossible! That’s the center of the strongest hydrogen bomb explosion. How could there be anyone or a creature alive? Unless it’s an alien!” the English diplomat said.

The others didn’t say anything and just watched silently.

As the dust gradually dispersed, the figure became clearer and clearer. In the end, a gust of wind blew past and the dust completely dispersed. Everyone could clearly see the figure…

They saw a white-robed monk quietly playing with his phone…

“How is this possible?!” At this moment, be it the American diplomats, Chinese diplomats, or the men in black and the generals present, everyone’s jaws dropped to the ground! They looked at everything in front of them in disbelief!

At that moment, someone from China exclaimed, “It’s really Abbot Fangzheng. He’s posting on Weibo! There’s even a selfie of himself in the center of the nuclear blast!”

When everyone heard that, they quickly took out their cell phones and went online. However, they were depressed to discover that they didn’t have any Chinese accounts! Besides, they wouldn’t register for Chinese accounts!

Helpless, they could only stare at the phones others held.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw.

There were a few pictures attached on Fangzheng’s Weibo. In the pictures, a bald man was holding his cell phone high up. The camera was at a 45° angle perfectly accentuating the monk’s handsome looks. However, that wasn’t the main point. The main point was the glow from the blast behind him! Rocks shattered, and the blinding ball of light appeared out of the ground like a glowing monster…

The eight pictures at the back seemed to be taken in succession. They could see the blast rising bit by bit and exploding…

The last photo was taken upwards. It was the bottom of the mushroom cloud, one that blotted out the sky…

“How is that possible? Even if he’s fine, his phone won’t be able to take it! Besides, under such a strong light, it’s impossible for the phone to take such a clear picture… At present, there’s no such technology on Earth,” someone questioned.

One of the Chinese diplomats said lightly, “Don’t use your shallow knowledge to comment on a Buddha. Otherwise, what can you say about Abbot Fangzheng? He shouldn’t exist, but in fact, he does exist.”

Everyone was speechless…

At this moment, the Chinese diplomat smiled and said, “Now, we can have a good negotiation and discuss our conditions.”

The same words were thrown back right at them in just a few minutes. The American diplomat’s expression was extremely ugly.

He wanted to say put on a strong stance, but the phone rang. When he picked it up, he heard an angry roar from the phone. “What are you doing? Don’t anger the Chinese. The world belongs to everyone. Harmony is top priority! Be gentle, be peaceful. Win-win, get it? If China complains of you being rude, you’re fired!”
