Sorry for the delay over the last few days, guys.

Jack smiled as he looked down at the South Korean representative.
"So..."
"You're the representative from South Korea?"
"As expected of a stick."
He crossed his arms leisurely, his tone filled with ridicule.
"You people really do know how to speak boldly."
"The confidence in your voice almost makes me admire you."
He smiled mischievously.
"Since you're so eager to talk..."
"I'll generously give you another chance."
"Go ahead."
"Continue your speech."
The South Korean representative straightened his suit despite the fear lingering in his eyes. Since he represented his nation, he forced himself to maintain a proud expression.
"According to our investigations..."
"Your ancestor, two hundred years ago, was Korean."
"You are a descendant of South Korea."
He pointed directly at Jack's projection.
"However..."
"Even though you are descended from South Korea..."
"Our country will never protect you."
"South Korea will faithfully carry out every resolution passed by the United Nations."
"We will eliminate you."
His voice echoed confidently throughout the conference hall.
The representatives from every nation immediately looked at one another in confusion.
Jack...
A descendant of South Korea?
What kind of ridiculous conclusion was that?
For several seconds, the entire conference hall fell into complete silence.
Then...
"Hahahaha!"
Jack suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter.
His loud laughter echoed throughout the hall, making everyone feel even more uncomfortable.
"Hahaha!"
"I've really broadened my horizons today."
He wiped away imaginary tears while continuing to laugh.
"I've finally met someone who can shamelessly surpass even me."
He pointed at the South Korean representative with an amused expression.
"So now..."
"I'm actually a descendant of South Korea?"
"Damn."
He laughed again.
"How come you people don't just claim the entire universe belongs to South Korea as well?"
"You've completely abandoned any sense of shame."
A representative quietly whispered to the person beside him.
"I've heard they like claiming the cultures and famous figures of other countries."
"The Dragon Boat Festival."
"Confucius."
"Qu Yuan."
"They've claimed all of them before."
"At this rate..."
"The entire world's ancestors probably came from South Korea."
Several nearby representatives lowered their heads, trying their hardest not to laugh.
The South Korean representative remained completely serious.
"No matter how much you insult us..."
"It won't change the facts."
"You are still descended from South Korea."
"If you sincerely confess your crimes before the people of the world..."
"Our country is even willing to bury you in South Korea."
Jack nearly spat out his banana.
"What the hell?"
His mouth twitched repeatedly.
"I've seen shameless people..."
"But I've never seen anyone this shameless."
He slowly shook his head.
"I've officially lost."
"I can't compete with someone like you."
Then his smile suddenly disappeared.
His eyes became frighteningly calm.
"Talking nonsense with a fool like you..."
"...is nothing but a waste of Father's time."
He looked toward White Queen.
"White Queen."
"Give him some electricity."
"As a gift."
"Immediately."
"Understood."
White Queen answered calmly.
The next instant—
Crackle!
A thick bolt of electricity suddenly erupted from the enormous chandelier hanging above the conference hall.
Like a furious thunder dragon, it descended straight toward the South Korean representative.
"AHHHHH!"
A miserable scream instantly echoed throughout the hall.
The representative convulsed violently as thousands of volts coursed through his body.
His expensive suit immediately blackened.
The smell of burnt flesh spread through the conference room.
After struggling for only a few seconds, his body collapsed onto the floor.
His entire body had been charred black.
He twitched twice before becoming completely motionless.
Silence.
Absolute silence.
Everyone stared at the corpse in horror.
Nobody had expected Jack to kill him so casually.
The peaceful conference had instantly transformed into a nightmare.
Panic exploded once again.
"Run!"
"Open the door!"
"Someone save us!"
Representatives screamed as they rushed toward the exits.
Unfortunately...
Just like before...
The enormous conference doors refused to move.
No matter how desperately they pushed or pulled, the doors remained tightly shut.
Jack casually waved his hand.
"Calm down."
"Everyone calm down."
He smiled pleasantly, as though comforting frightened children.
"Only one fool died."
"As long as you aren't too stupid..."
"You should all be perfectly safe."
A representative trembling with fear pointed toward Jack.
"Y-You..."
"You said..."
"You're only a projection!"
Jack nodded cheerfully.
"That's right."
"I'm only a projection."
The representative became even more confused.
"T-Then..."
"H-How..."
Jack smiled faintly.
"What?"
"You thought just because what you're seeing is a projection..."
"...you were safe?"
He slowly shook his head.
"My real body isn't here."
"That's true."
"But..."
"If Father wants someone dead..."
"Killing them is still an incredibly simple matter."
His calm tone frightened everyone far more than shouting would have.
At that moment, the Chinese representative suddenly gathered his courage.
He looked up at Jack angrily.
"Jack!"
"What you've done is wrong!"
"This is terrorism!"
"Your actions will be strongly condemned by the international community!"
Jack looked at him quietly.
Then he sighed.
"I was planning to spare you."
"After all..."
"I was Chinese once."
"I thought I'd show you a little mercy."
The Chinese representative immediately continued speaking.
"As a Chinese..."
"You've done nothing but disgrace China's image."
"You are China's shame!"
Jack's expression instantly darkened.
"Shame?"
He clicked his tongue impatiently.
"What annoying nonsense."
Before anyone could react—
Crackle!
Another terrifying bolt of electricity shot down from the massive chandelier.
It struck the Chinese representative directly.
"AHHH—"
His scream lasted less than a second.
The terrifying current instantly turned his entire body into a charred black corpse.
Smoke slowly rose from the podium.
The smell of burnt flesh became even stronger.
The conference hall fell completely silent once more.
Jack looked around calmly.
"So..."
"Who else has something to say?"
Nobody answered.
Every representative's face had turned deathly pale.
Looking at the corpses of both the South Korean and Chinese representatives, fear completely filled their hearts.
Not a single person dared to make another sound.
Jack smiled with satisfaction.
"Now that's much better."
He slowly looked across every frightened face.
"All of you are representatives of your respective countries."
"You represent your nation's dignity."
"So..."
"What do you think would happen..."
"...if every single one of you knelt before Father?"
His smile gradually became colder.
Then his voice thundered throughout the entire conference hall.
"Kneel."
"Kneel before me."
"Or..."
"Die."
The overwhelming pressure instantly descended upon everyone.
Several representatives from smaller nations couldn't endure the fear any longer.
Without the slightest hesitation—
They fell to their knees.
One after another.
None of them wanted to die for meaningless pride.
However...
The representatives from several major powers hesitated.
They exchanged nervous glances.
If photographs or videos of them kneeling before Humanity's Public Enemy were released...
Their political careers would be over.
They represented their countries.
Their dignity wasn't theirs alone.
At that moment, Japan's representative suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped forward.
"Jack!"
"I represent Japan!"
"It is absolutely impossible for me..."
"...to kneel before the enemy who attacked my country."
"You even dropped a nuclear bomb on Tokyo—"
Before he could finish—
BOOM!
A bolt of lightning instantly descended.
His entire body stiffened before collapsing to the ground as nothing more than another lifeless, charred corpse.
Jack didn't even blink.
"What admirable national dignity."
He smiled coldly.
"But..."
"What does it have to do with Father?"
He slowly raised one finger.
"From this moment onward..."
"Every three seconds..."
"I'll kill one more person."
He smiled wickedly.
"One."
