Chapter 72: The survival rate of cockroaches.
Hades’s hands had found a place on his head once again. Secretary Ceasar was now President Ceasar! Another of his wife’s predictions had come true.
"Are you seeing this shit?" he asked her.
Sunshine held in a laugh. Not only was she seeing it but she had predicted it. "His presidency will not last. His first mistake was...or is keeping the real president alive. Finch will be rescued by loyal soldiers and announce his return when he gets to safety.
Suddenly, the country will have two presidents. But presidents that cannot protect the people or save them are useless, so they are both going to be presidents in name only.
As superhumans carve out territories in the country, it will cease to be a country altogether and we will be identified by which base we come from."
Hades still shook his head. He could not believe that the country he had known was over, just like that. The life they all knew had ended.
"Do you think Moon and Cassius will survive?" He asked her.
Sunshine shrugged. "Those two are cockroaches, I have a feeling that they will somehow survive."
They were like villains in every movie. Somehow, they always beat all odds and only died at the end. Even then, sometimes, they resurrected.
"My mother asked me about Aunt Fifi and the others." He brought up his relatives that had defected from the family, following bankruptcy rumors. "She is worried about them, despite all that happened."
"More cockroaches that don’t need mentioning. Your mother should be worrying about herself and her children and grandchildren." Sunshine took his hand, pulling him away from the living room. "Come on, let’s have breakfast. What will happen will happen. It is of no use imagining it."
