Mercenaries In Apocalypse.

Chapter 16 - Threathen ii

The council members sat on their seats, some had pale faces, some sweating and rest with rage on their faces as they watched the man in the metallic suit.

Although they refused to believe his each and every identity, reality was harsh. The proof of his identity was none other than that family name. Meanwhile as the situation proceeded, Percy in his suit, which he called 'Titan' by the way, had his eyes fixed on a single person the whole time. The person who had the sole authority for any decision.

The UN may look like it had a council but that was only for international disputes. The main matters concerning the interests of the self centered people lied in the hands of the single person - the Chancellor. He had an enormous authority over UN and it's forces. The Chancellor was the only person with a calm expression on his face. He looked at the metallic suit and said in a plain voice.

"Young man, although your identity is unique, that does not give you the right to act arrogant in front of me."

His voice contained a sort of authority and dominance which pressured Percy.

But Percy was unfazed by all this.

(Sound of steam gushing out.)

Titan's helmet opened and Percy's face became visible to all. Percy had a smile on his face and stared the Chancellor.

"Although people might fear your power, Old man, but I don't. I will repeat my condition only once. I know you fools want to release the virus I won't say anything about it but I my only condition is that you open your contingency plan for all its survivors with no discrimination."

The Chancellor seemed calm but internally he was sweating profusely, he knew that the Jackson's were aware about the research. Of course they knew, although they fired the scientists, but they were a part of Jackson's too. What the Chancellor seemed to be afraid of the man in front of him knew about the contingency plan. The plan only he and select UN members knew about.

Although the Chancellor had a smile on his face, but the council had a surprised face. Even they knew nothing of this contingency plan so to speak of. The all looked at the Chancellor altogether.

"I don't know how you got such information, but it isn't completely true. And even if there was a contingency plan why shall we allow it to the common masses, just because you said so. Young man, it isn't just you, even I care of the human race, but you must know the plan which you are talking about is only in theory. It requires huge resources and time to make it work on such a large scale. "

The Chancellor spoke with some lies and truths mixed in the speech. Percy didn't give a thing about the Chancellor's speech. He looked straight at his eyes and said only two sentences which scared the shit out of everyone.

"Either you do it. Else I kill everyone in this room."

As he said this he left the cabin. He didn't even look back. He boarded the Osprey, sat on his seat and commanded to leave.

Meanwhile inside the cabin, the council members were stunned and only reacted after a long time. Some were silent, some had rage and some grief. The Chancellor was calmest of them all and dismissed the meeting. He watched each and every member leave. He knew that now there was no need for such a facade as the members knew about the contingency plan. The council faced it's unofficial dissolution. Each member left and the Chancellor had a gloomy expression. Even though he had a great authority, he still their resources, but alas. He silently opened a communicator and spoke.

"I need information about who leaked the plan, and also I want him killed."

A small smile on his face after he sent the message.

"How dare he threaten me! Might as well kill him now. Hmph..!

A black Cadillac rolled out of the UN base, inside a man seated with grief on his face. The man was a council member of UN. In fact he could be considered as the only one with a proper conscience, devoid of greed and selfishness. He silently opened his cell phone and dialled a number.
