The Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 10

"Did you just received word boss sanders?" A thug said after he enters the room

They were at an unknown location where thugs guard the place.

"Its frank sanders by the way. And yes, i received word that the magic book is at the hands of the american military." Frank said as he was sitting on his table

"Should we also steal that as well? I mean, we already have the ancient egyptian book of the dead at our possession." That thug said as he then sat across the table

"Yes, we should." Frank

"But its a military facility boss, can we really--" That thugs said

Frank cuts him off, "no matter, we always have our resources that we can rely on. And since im not like my brother, jonah sanders."

"I see. Alright then. So, when do we strike?" That thugs said

"If our inside source would give the go sign, we will." Frank said with a smile

"hello my good amercian citizens, it is I, your president paul manhattan!"

They were now at the white house where paul is now making an address to the people, and where the crowd applauded.

"anyways, I have an announcement to make, and lets be quick to the chase here. I am glad to announce to you of americas newest achievement, that in 10 days time, we shall be making a space colony right at the moon!" paul said excitedly

The crowd was then in awe of what they heard.

"and thats not all that we will be doing! Cause we wont just stop at the moon, we will also colonize mars as well! Also making a space colony right in between on top of that! Thus making new jobs, more jobs, and lots of jobs for everyone!" paul said as the crowd was in awe again

"excuse me mr president, but is this venture exclusive only for americans?" a reporter said

"wait for a while miss, im not yet on the good part." paul said smiling

"oh, ok then." that reporter said

"well, this venture will surely be for the benefit of america! Which means jobs even for the homeless! And whats more, other countries can even apply for the job! Visa free! You just need some documents from your country and you are all set. The details of those documents will be posted later on the official website." paul said as the crowd was in awe again

"mr president, are you worried that other countries might exploit the situation for their own benefits?" A reporter said

"Well, yeah, i think so too. But im still going to have other countries help us in this venture, since it will not only benefit theirs, but mostly with our country. This has also been some time in the making, as we have just now developed the new anti gravity rings which will be fitted into cars and crafts, making them fly" Paul

"What?! Flying cars you say?! And what more did the government make aside from flying cars?" A reporter said as the rest agrees

"Yes, flying cars in short. And as for the other inventions, thats its still classified top secret." Paul

But then his general reminded him of something.

"Tch! In any case, i would also like this opportunity to invite jake burns into the event in 10 days time." Paul said in a complicated face. "Since during that time, we will have the grand opening of the ARCs that will carry both men and supplies to space. Remember folks! You got about until 3 days to sign up for the program and the other days to train for space travel."

After that, paul then exits the stage, which also left the reporters with some more questions in their notepads.

"And to think that you are invited bro, by the US president even." Joy said as they were relaxing on the couch
