I Can Destroy Planets with My Psychokinesis-Chapter 318. The Price of Freedom

Most people only look at what they want to see and believe what they are willing to believe.

For example, online there was a heated discussion claiming Lu Li had "superpowers."

But many scoffed at this, firmly believing the videos and photos were doctored pranks.

The older one gets, and the higher their education and position, the more likely they are to think this way.

After all, Blue Star is ultimately a real world that values science and materialism.

And Teresa was a "centrist."

She felt there was something unusual about Lu Li, but not as exaggerated as the "superpowers" mentioned online.

So when she saw Lu Li’s freshly posted "Do not say that I didn’t predict this" status, Teresa’s heart suddenly tightened.

All she hoped was that Lu Li would stop before it was taken seriously by the Star Alliance Country, and escape quickly.

Flee to places like the Steel Alliance, the Black Continent, or South America—places no one cares about, and survive.

That way, there might still be a chance to meet again in the future.

Teresa sighed deeply, unable to understand why things had developed this way.

She had even hoped to marry Lu Li as a witness to the further alliances of both sides.

Marriage alliances have always been the optimal way to form alliances from ancient to modern times.

Lu Li, handsome and strong, generous and kind, was truly an excellent match.

But now all was lost...

Teresa glanced at her phone, just having received a notification that her bank account was frozen due to illegal transactions.

She had recently received 10 million dollars of "freedom funding" from Lu Li, which had also fallen prey to the "long arm jurisdiction" of the Star Alliance Country.

But there was more to come.

At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

Aurora entered, her face stern as she said,

"Lady Maria has revoked Divine Dragon Company’s business license and restricted Jessica from leaving the country... It seems she is preparing to extradite her to the Star Alliance Country."

Hearing this, Teresa showed no surprise.

With the fuss Lu Li had made, the Star Alliance Country was bound to retaliate; mother was strenuously distancing herself.

But Aurora paused, her expression changing as she continued,

"Lady Maria has invited the regional president of Bunge Company for lunch tomorrow, and specifically asked him to bring his son..."

"Bunge Company..."

It was the fourth largest grain company in the world, capable of manipulating national food prices, with tremendous influence.

Teresa’s face turned pale, now understanding what her mother was plotting.

But this time, she didn’t intend to submit.

"Aurora, you’ll help me, won’t you?"

"I naturally stand with Miss Teresa, but you have to think this through..."

"I’ve thought it through clearly!"

Teresa took off her shirt, her face calm, and said, "Come on, just as we planned."

"It will hurt a bit, bear with it."

Aurora pulled out tools she had prepared earlier and stood behind the girl with a complex expression.

The two women toiled for an hour before stopping.

Teresa put on her shirt, buttoning it while saying,

"I’m going to see mother now, if something unexpected happens... don’t worry about me, just leave on your own."

Aurora didn’t know what else to say and could only respond,

"Lady Maria won’t harm you, you’ll be fine."

Teresa hugged Aurora, sincerely saying, "Thank you for all your help and support over the years."

With that, she turned and walked out of the room.

National Palace in Moxico, located on the east side of Constitution Square.

Teresa’s arrival here was naturally unobstructed.

Staff members who recognized the young lady, noble and beautiful like a swan, watched her swaying figure enter the President’s Office.

At that time, Lady Maria was holding a meeting with cabinet members.

Seeing her daughter arrive, she said in a deep voice, "Please, leave us."

Some arrogant words were uttered, but none of the cabinet ministers dared to object—all of them obediently rose from their seats and left.

After they had left, Miss Teresa finally spoke.

"Congratulations on gaining control of the country, but I hope you remember who contributed to this achievement."

Lady Maria glanced at her daughter and said sternly,

"Do you think I wanted to do this? He was too arrogant, leaving no room for compromise!"

Miss Teresa quickly responded, "Even so, at least remain neutral and lift the restrictions on Jessica..."

"Teresa!"

Lady Maria silenced her daughter, then threw a document from the table to her, saying,

"Do you even realize what kind of enemy we’re facing? Food prices have risen 40% in half a month! Fertilizer and seed prices have doubled! A famine is brewing!"

The Magic Country’s food trade—from the production of seeds and fertilizers to the transportation and circulation—was all controlled by the Star Alliance Country.

It was very easy for them to manipulate food prices, plunge citizens into hunger and rioting, and then overthrow the government.

Not just in Magic Country, this was the case in most countries around the world.

Miss Teresa found herself at a loss for words; in such circumstances, who could afford not to bow down?

Lady Maria sighed and said,

"I had intended to show firmness, but after coming into power, I discovered... we are but mere insects."

As she was speaking, she brought up another matter:

"I have invited the regional president of Bunge Company to join us for lunch tomorrow, and his son will be there too. I hope you can join us."

Upon hearing this, Miss Teresa’s face turned cold, and she said icily,

"According to the agreement, once you were elected president, I was to be free."

"I remember, but this time it’s different!"

Lady Maria gently said,

"I want to find you a real husband, a powerful and wealthy family! This could also save us from a famine sweeping across the nation!"

"Sorry, Mother."

Miss Teresa shook her head decisively,

"Solving the people’s need for food and shelter is the responsibility of the president and the government. I am tired and do not wish to be involved anymore."

"Absurd!"

Lady Maria was furious,

"How can you say such irresponsible things! You don’t deserve to carry my surname!"

"Suit yourself."

Miss Teresa was indifferent about being kicked out of the family and dealt her mother an even greater blow.

She gently unbuttoned and took off her top, revealing her smooth, taut, and alluring body.

But upon seeing this, Lady Maria looked as if she had been struck by thunder,

"What is that on your body!!"

There on Miss Teresa’s back was a pair of wing tattoos, brimming with wild charm.

And that was not all; there was also a tattoo below her navel on her abdomen.

Countless lines formed the shape of a flower, but upon closer inspection, it was clearly the image of a uterus, filled with decadent, lascivious elements.

For someone in Miss Teresa’s social circle, getting such tattoos was practically social suicide.

Lady Maria frantically rubbed her daughter’s skin, trying to tear off the tattoos.

When she realized it was futile, she burst into rage, screaming, "Have you lost your mind! Who allowed you to get tattoos!"

Miss Teresa dressed calmly and spoke placidly, "My body is no longer your bargaining chip."

"You are destroying yourself!"

Lady Maria trembled with rage and swallowed several pills before she could calm down.

But just then, the chief of staff of the President’s Residence burst in.

Ignoring the storm between mother and daughter, he trembled as he handed over a tablet, saying,

"Madam, you should see this first!"

Both Maria and Teresa looked at the tablet, and there they saw Lu Li’s figure.

He stood there quietly as a tank roared towards him.

With a raise of his hand, the ground beneath his feet suddenly transformed into a dragon’s head that burst out and flipped the tank over!
