"Tuvalu Belongs to God" was the national anthem of this small country. After receiving the news that the Costa Group was going to recruit workers in the country, the song was sung throughout the night in this small island country that was on the verge of sinking.
Ironically, in the end, it was not the so-called God or the Gods who saved the country and the people of this country, but a group of young mutants.
Modot stood in the villa of the president's official residence, listening to the song that echoed throughout the country and the laughter that accompanied the song. He could not describe what he was feeling.
Was he sad for the disloyalty of these people to the country? Or should he be angry? The emotions in Modot's heart were very complicated. They were far from being described as simple sorrow and anger.
It was difficult to describe what the old president of this country was thinking. It was like you happily went to the gift shop with money to choose a suitable New Year's gift for your family, only to be told by the shop assistant that everything you wanted to buy was sold out.
Perhaps this indescribable loneliness and loss was the truest portrayal of the president's heart.
"Mr. President, be happy. At least this is a win-win situation. You can't force your people to think. No matter how much you love this country, you can't change the terrible situation it is facing, "Roberto said to Modot.
The Mutant nicknamed Sunspot knew what the president was thinking, but he felt that the old man was just imagining things. A country without a future, without a future. It was even a country without a history (Tuvalu was an island country discovered by Europeans during the Great Voyage. The country was basically of European descent, and it was founded very, very recently).
How could you expect this group of people to maintain their sense of loyalty and identity to this country? There was nothing to be proud of in this country. There was no history or culture worth celebrating, and there was no hope or future in sight. It was already good enough that the people born here did not complain. You could not expect too much.
Roberto was sent by Katie to talk to Modot. Since they had already reached an agreement with Modot, they did not want anything to go wrong at the last moment. They had to make sure that everything went smoothly.
Roberto walked to Modot's side and said emotionally, "You've worked hard for this country all your life. It's time for a good rest."
"What do you mean by this?" Modo turned around and asked Roberto.
"Look, I have prepared a very nice villa for you by the sea in Portugal. There was also a thirty-meter-long yacht. As for your granddaughter's studies, I've helped you contact a good private university in England. What do you think? "Roberto made it very clear.
Modo was about to say something, but he was quickly stopped by Roberto.
"Don't be in a hurry to refuse. This is what you deserve. You have worked hard for this country and its people all your life. It's not too much to ask for. " Roberto smiled as he looked at Modot. At the same time, he cast his gaze to the other corner of the room.
Modot followed Roberto's gaze. The middle-aged man he had seen at the meeting before was standing there. He had a serious expression and looked like he was not to be trifled with.
He was like a venomous viper, staring at him with his sharp eyes. Just by looking at this man, Modot felt like he was about to suffocate. This man was a real murderer. Modot felt that if he wanted to, he could take his life at any time.
Modot broke out in a cold sweat in an instant. Roberto was very satisfied with Modot's current performance. He continued, "Look, you take what you deserve. The villa, the yacht, and enough US dollars for you to squander for the rest of your life. I just don't want to hear someone say something they shouldn't say on certain occasions. Do you understand what I mean? "
Modot swallowed. The young man in front of him had been in a high position for a long time. As the world's top raw material supplier, he would not even touch the president of a superpower. This kind of momentum was far from what the leader of a small country managing a population of more than 10,000 could compare to.
Modot did not hesitate too much and immediately said, "Okay, Mr. Roberto. In fact, you are helping us. My people and I are very grateful to the Scota Corporation. I don't think anyone will say anything about it. Don't worry about that. "
At that moment, the stubborn old president, who had been stubborn all his life, unloaded all his pride and stubbornness. Because look at the crowd cheering and singing outside the window! There was nothing in this world worthy of Modot's stubbornness.
Instead of spending those experiences on these thankless things, he might as well go to Portugal and enjoy the rest of his life. And his granddaughter would have the chance to go to a famous school in England! He believed that the little girl would be very happy. She had always dreamed of the opportunity to become an elite and intellectual modern woman in the movies.
As for Tuvalu? Sorry, after tonight, this country will have nothing to do with me!
… …
Roberto was already prepared for the transfer of the entire population of Tuvalu. Although it did cost him some money to buy such a country, as the world's largest farmer and mine owner, Roberto's company did need a lot of people to work.
Tuvalu's cheap labor was indeed a good choice. The Costa Corporation's transfer planes and cruise ships were already ready. When Katie and the others signed the agreement with Modot, they were already ready. After the agreement was signed, these means of transportation had already gathered in Tuvalu.
Tuvalu fell into panic and busyness in an instant. Everyone took away as much as possible what they thought was valuable, because everyone knew that they would never return to this island again.
When they signed the employment agreement with the Costa Corporation, the Costa Corporation had promised to provide them with a new identity in the country where they would work. The residents of these island countries were afraid that such a good agreement would be signed any later.
In just one day, the original Tuvalu residents instantly became a group of foreigners. If all the people of a country left, then objectively speaking, the country had already disappeared.
Katie and the others naturally would not allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, when the Tuvalu residents signed the agreement to become a group of foreigners, under the planning of Katie and the others, a large number of applications to become nationals from foreign countries also flew in like snowflakes.
This was what Katie had been busy with during this period of time. She was contacting all the mutants who were willing to support her and were moderate. Most of these mutants were seniors who graduated from the Xavier School for the Gifted.
In the process of persuasion, some people agreed, and naturally, some did not. But without exception, everyone maintained a strict attitude of confidentiality about the matter.
Because even those who did not agree actually hoped that Katie's plan would succeed. Because for some reason, they did not think that she would succeed, so they temporarily took a wait-and-see attitude.
Katie used the mutant students that Charles had educated over the years to weave a large network of connections. First, she met with the most influential graduate every year to persuade them.
Then, these people led the people that they knew to carry out a spiderweb-like spread from point to point. There were also many parents of Mutants among them, including some veteran Mutant Masters. For example, the Card King that was recruited by Flash was the best example.
More than ten thousand residents quickly became foreigners, and at the same time, more than four thousand foreigners became official Tuvalu residents. Katie took advantage of the loophole in the law to announce that Tuvalu recognized dual nationals as citizens of Tuvalu and enjoyed citizenship rights.
This allowed many mutants who were originally in the United States, Canada, and South America to join Tuvalu without giving up their citizenship.
New laws were issued one after another as the old citizens left. The speed was so fast that it was infuriating. More than five hundred old laws were repealed in a day, and more than three hundred new laws were issued. This was the speed of Katie's team.
Because they were in a hurry, they had to complete all of this before all other countries reacted and catch them off guard!
When the last Tuvalu citizen left his homeland, more than ten thousand people who lived in the original twenty-six square kilometers all disappeared.
The entire island seemed empty. Apart from some houses and garbage, there was nothing left on the island. Katie strolled on the road of this island country. On both sides of the road were blue waves, and only a narrow path connected the two ends of the island. The sea wind ruffled Katie's hair, and her chestnut-colored hair fluttered in the wind.
Catie felt surreal as she set foot on the ground. She had only made a decision on a whim, but she had actually made it this far.
Those seemingly bold, even absurd ideas were being realized one by one. Katie had a feeling that she was in a dream.
This was how crazy the world was. This world was not afraid of how strange, arrogant, or crazy you were. This world never cared about this. It could always tolerate everything.
Genius and madness, weirdness and arrogance were never sins of this world. As long as you had the ability to use these characteristics, then please do your best!
Because for this world, mediocrity was the biggest sin!
"We actually have our own country." Pixie, who was following Katie, still felt like she was living in a dream.
"Yes, but this is just the beginning. The real test has just begun. "Katie's eyes revealed a hint of determination.
