Chapter 38 - Chapter — 38. The Explosion inside

5/12//25, 6:00 pm.

The room engulfed in darkness, the only visible light glimmered was the bulb who hung in the middle. Superior Mengu and Lord Yin both sit in the normal wooden chair below the light.

In the middle of a table rest, two mocktails stay on the desk. One close to Lord Yin while other to Superior Mengu

"I hope you enjoy your trip to Africa. " Lord Yin calmly said.

Superior Mengu eyes stay focused on the drink.

"Attack on Washington DC. " Superior Mengu spoke. "You are crazy. You send me and Lioness to Africa to bring weapons and man for the Washington attack. Yin, you literally took the risk of handling the Al Qaeda bases for the attack that have very high chances of us losing. "

Lord Yin leaned back in his chair.

"I don't think so. I had already told our plan when Saif al Rahaman came to our island for the African base deal. "

Superior Mengu put his hand on the mask forehead in disbelief.

"Ok let's say we attack Washington but your main objective is related to the White House, one of the most secured buildings in the place. How are you gonna pass it? " Superior Mengu questions.

" There's not much distance between the Ellipse and the White House, just a regular road which will be under our control. " Lord Yin clasped his hand. "The White House security will be tight to directly attack and the army will be just waiting for one wrong room. "

"So what will we do? " Superior Mengu raised an eyebrow behind the mask.

"It's pretty simple. " Lord Yin lifted his mocktail. "We will attack from inside the White House. "

Superior Mengu rested his head on the chair, looking upward at the light.

"I still don't understand what the hell you are saying. "

Lord Yin stands up, still holding the drink.

"Let the lioness superior come so I can tell both of you everything. "

12/12/25. 6:00 pm.

SHOOT!!

Superior Mengu shoots one more victim.

The sun sinks in the ocean as in the opposite direction the dawn ascended. The whole sky became tangerine in color, shining throughout.

The military outside still doesn't move an inch, the lioness superior watched the sunset peacefully.

Meanwhile, Superior Mengu lost in his own thoughts. He took the walkie talkie from a masked figure, bringing it close to his mouth, about to say something.

The generals outside become more alert.

"He is going to say something. " The general informed the secret service through an army walkie talkie.

Superior Mengu gave a gaze to the lioness superior. Lioness superior replies with a thumbs up.

The soldiers watched carefully their action,they started to form a defensive barrier for any possible attack.

Outside of the restricted zone marked by the army, the news reporter, normal civilians or even influencers who had come to witness all gulps in curiosity.

Superior Mengu breaths then spoke.

"Do it. "

Everyone froze in their place for a second, then slowly the general reported it.

"Who is he communicating with? "

There came no response from the walkie talkie, the general being perplexed asked again.

"Hello? Is anyone there? I am asking who he is talking to. "

A slow, frightened voice answered the general.

"He is talking to someone who is inside.. Inside. "

"Inside who? " The general started to get frustrated.

"Inside the White House. "

For a second, horrified, the general didn't say anything, the walkie talkie fell from his loose grip. His eyes widened as much as it could, he didn't even move a single muscle.

Suddenly he became alarmed, he spoke.

"Now wha—"

Before the general could finish the full sentence.

BOOM!!!!

The general flinched from the sudden eruption sound, breathing heavily from the rush adrenaline, he saw an implausible scenario.

Out of nowhere, the White House front exploded!!

The smoke from the explosion covered the whole front which also had caught fire. Even the window aside of the main door had melted from the heat, the pillar in front barely stands.

The smog slowly started to spread in the garden, and the main entrance of the white House became hidden from the smog.

The crowd, the news reporter and influencers all saw the horrified view.

The cameras of the reporter glued to the burning White House, everyone there started to record this unimaginable incident.

The victims sitting in the Washington Monument almost jumped from the explosion yet the fear stopped them, the mysterious explosion increased their horror thus making them sweat even more.

The toddler there again started to cry. The crying sound became more and more loud.

Superior Mengu tried to ignore him, he watched the fire silently which was not showing the sign of stooping with other masked figures.

Lioness superior forms a jeering grin behind the mask. A masked figure hands her a megaphone.

"Now listen. " Lioness superior said with the megaphone. "We are not gonna stop at the White House, give us our special chair blueprint or you have already seen the consequences."

"What the hell!!"

The vice president who had become a temporary president because of the 25th Amendment screamed with his small face with full force.

His white face became red from anger, he had a brown beard and hair with his blue eyes expanded in rage.

He was in a secret bunker to protect him from the terrorist. The bunker had a full working light, with a comfortable sofa in front of the heavily protected metal door, in front lies a table with some packed food, on the right a fridge is placed filled with food and on the left rests a cupboard with a TV on.

The vice president shouted at one of the Secret Service members as the tv reports the White House burning.

The reporter reports the news like the USA is losing, adding more to the vice president's anger.

The Secret Service agent apologised.

"We sincerely apologize for our fault, we will try to use our full power to know what those terrorists had done resulting in the White House blast. *

The Secret Service voice became serious.

"Should we activate phase 2? "

The president thinks for a second, he looks at the burning White House on the tv then answers.

"Yes. "
