Chapter 210 - Arriving In Olympus City
"Or like the people who used to come to this country, do you also want to find a ticket to heaven?" Qin Tian added.
Clara almost laughed as she heard his words while Benson was stunned.
Seeing Benson's expression, Qin Tian couldn't help but ask, "are my words true?"
"You're right, baby." Clara suddenly chimed in.
"I'm ashamed to say this, apart from the influence of the Olympus elite, I guess the reason why those politicians would spend billions of dollars of their state money on Olympus is because they want heaven." "No matter how I thought, I never found another answer."
"Those old fogs are really good at tricking people."
"Clara," Benson responded right after Clara spoke.
Clara's last words seemed to displease him.
"As an Olympus, you shouldn't say that," he said.
"It's precisely because I'm an Olympus that I know better what's right and what's wrong," answered Clara in a cold tone.
"But why are you reacting as if what I have said is true?"
"Looks like you know something," Qin Tian chimed in with a faint smile.
"Or are you a supporter of the program yourself?"
"You…" Benson's face suddenly turned red.
"This is not for us, but for the American people."
"So you guys used taxpayer money to buy them tickets to heaven?"
Benson, "..."
"Brat, stop talking about that, do you think I'm stupid? Now you better tell me how you got so strong."
"No, I still wonder if my guess was right?"
"Of course, that's not true, do you think we are stupid."
"Then why did you say that earlier?"
"Yes, some fanatics may believe that, but do you think everyone is a fanatic. Our country will be destroyed if everyone is like that."
"Then why did your country spend so much money on Olympus?"
"I don't know, you should have asked the President and those politicians."
Qin Tian shook his head with a faint smile. Even though Benson tried to argue, that might really be one of the causes.
When it came to things like heaven and hell, no matter how smart a person was, it was difficult for them to think rationally.
Olympus' status was very high in the eyes of those who worshiped Zeus, if young children heard that they could enter heaven by helping them, they would probably continue to believe that until they were old.
Even if they did get their rationality, even if they didn't believe in it anymore, they might still not dare to criticize it.
As long as the higher-ups of the country were people who believed in it, some priests who were good at boasting could definitely influence them.
They may not be as bigots as Benson says, but spending a few billion dollars a year shouldn't bother them.
Now Qin Tian quite understood what the higher-ups of those countries might do.
"Son, now can you tell me how you got such great power?" "Oh, with your strength, I may not have a chance to escape, it should be fine you tell me."
Qin Tian glanced at him and said, "You are aware of your situation, but you dare to call me son. You should call me senior." "Don't you know, in the martial world, it's a basic way of respecting people who are stronger than you."
"Hahahaha," he suddenly laughed after he heard his words.
"So what if you're stronger than me. Son, do you know how many humans I've killed?"
"How many?"
"49, they are humans that I killed directly. Of course, they are criminals who threaten the country." He replied in a proud tone.
"Huh..." Qin Tian immediately showed a sneer.
He might rarely kill people in his past life, but when he became a Paragon, the effects of each of his battles would inevitably lead to countless deaths.
"By the way, I suddenly remembered something," Qin Tian said as he looked at Benson.
"If you leave and don't come back, will the CIA look for you?"
"Don't worry, baby." Clara suddenly answered.
"His position in the CIA was only one level below the director, no one was looking for him even though he disappeared."
"Oh…" Qin Tian nodded while Benson wore a proud expression.
The journey continues.
Luckily the country was so small that Qin Tian believed he could shake the entire country if he unleashed all his strength.
After passing through several cities, they finally arrived at the city of Olympus.
The city of Olympus is in the center of the country.
The northern part consists of green land while the southern part consists of deserts.
In the center of the city, there was a mountain that was shaped like a Pyramid but not a Pyramid.
The city basically surrounds the mountain.
For the people of Olympus and worshipers of Zeus, the mountain is the most sacred place on earth. People who have money to go abroad will usually go to Olympus to pray on that mountain.
Since the city was in the center of the country of Olympus, it was eventually divided in two by the eastern and western Olympus.
In the center of the city, there was a twenty meter high wall that separated the city into two parts.
Of course, even though they were at war, they didn't dare to fight in that city because most of the people considered the place to be a holy place. The higher ups might not care, but they also couldn't do anything if the soldiers didn't want to fight there.
After arriving in the city, they went to the western part of the city. For no other reason, it was because Clara's friend lived there.
Untouched by the war, the city really advanced. Apart from being smaller, it is basically not much different from metropolitan cities in developed countries.
"If Zeus' inheritance is in this city, it may be on that mountain," Qin Tian said in his heart as he stared at the mountain in the center of the city.
"But the legacy of an expert like Zeus might only be discovered by those who are fated."
"By the way Luna, where is the One-Eyed Abyss sealed?"

Note:
Chapters like this may be quite offensive. But I'm also not sure how to explain it. First, it seems offensive to America which makes me uncomfortable considering that most of the readers of this novel are from America. But no matter who you are, if you for example had a chance to rule the earth, you would definitely clash with the people who rule the earth right now.
If your country happens to be the strongest and most influential country, your first enemy will not be other countries, but your own country if you try to conquer the whole earth. It's something that can't be avoided.
Basically, any country with the most influence will be the main enemy.
So, if you for example get alien technology that makes you very powerful, will you try to rule the earth or just be a nationalist who supports your country?
Oh, here I'm worried I'll offend the reader, and speaking of heaven and hell, I'm pretty worried about lightning coming down to strike me.
