Chapter 281 Parliamentary Alteration

Current situation.

The American Parliament Center in New York.

It was still a virtual conference room, with the same luxurious decor and a huge round desk in the center.

At 8:00 a.m. this morning, the head of Eoubs’ Americas headquarters was already in his seat, but most of the other seats next to him were empty.

In the period following the Cataclysmic Rebellion, due to the efforts to quell the panic among the citizens and the rebellion of the operatives in various divisions, many members of the Eoubs Operations Department, like Joseph, defected during the control missions; furthermore, at the "Unstable Population Oversight Conference" convened to discuss the Heavenly Gospel Operation Plan, no fewer than ten council members led their cronies to Siberia for investigation.

As a result, there are only six or seven council elders left who have the spare time to stay at the New York headquarters, including the person in charge.

However, even if not everyone is present, the authority these guys represent is enough to hold a meeting...

Since Li Lin's revenge site was established, the negative news it has generated has been as turbulent as waves, making it difficult to manage. Currently, within the entire region controlled by Eoubs, especially in places like the Americas, the remaining high-ranking personnel are roughly divided into two factions: one is those who have a sudden realization that the current situation is out of control and that the sins they have committed are not yet too great, so they are preparing to announce the truth about the taboo to the public; the other is those who have committed all kinds of evil deeds and whose hands are stained with blood. Once this huge system collapses, whether they are judged by the internal adjudicators or fall into the hands of the citizens, they will definitely not live past the next morning.

Naturally, these two factions would have to settle their differences at this meeting.

The former naturally advocates "telling the truth to the masses, letting them know the necessity of Eoubs' existence, and how severe the suffering faced by all humanity is." However, they are not acting out of kindness; their subjective consciousness is merely a pretext to find an excuse if the fluctuation layer becomes uncontrollable in the future, so that if things really get out of control one day, they can avoid being blamed by the world.

The latter, of course, chose to continue to conceal their actions; such people were numerous, accounting for almost 92% of the entire Americas branch. For them, there were only two choices now—either continue to be among the elite at the top, continuing to live a life of extravagance and debauchery, or be torn apart and killed by the lower classes, with no room for negotiation, since they knew best what they had done.

Under such oppressive conditions, coupled with the turmoil within the Siberian infection zone and the pressure from the revenge site, the management of Eoubs' Americas branch became virtually non-existent.

...

...

The time has come to 08:26:53.

"Everyone who could come is here, right?" The head of the department said this after all the branch managers he knew were seated.

“Of course, then let’s begin the meeting,” a well-dressed man sitting next to him immediately replied.

“Alright.” The person in charge glanced around, set the meeting room to private, nodded, and began, “In that case, let’s begin. Today’s meeting topic is about Gore…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the notification sound of permissions being erased in the terminal. At the same time, the sound of a third party joining the virtual meeting room also rang out.

At that moment, the seven people behind the desk all turned their heads in perfect unison and looked towards the entrance.

A second later, everyone's expression changed, because they all recognized who was standing at the data interface: Roy Anderson, the former executioner of the Americas headquarters and an A05 operative who had just finished a feature test.

"Haha." After a brief moment of surprise, the person in charge put away his stunned expression and smiled warmly, "You've come too. It's rare for you to come back to America... You're a rare guest indeed."

At that moment, he didn't ask how the other party knew that the higher-ups were going to hold this meeting, nor did he ask how he bypassed encryption permissions to directly access the virtual meeting, because these questions became unimportant the instant he appeared.

After the opening remarks, the person in charge immediately changed the subject, looking at Roy and saying, "I am very pleased that you can attend this meeting. However... I do have a question."

He paused, glancing deliberately at his adjutant beside him, and continued as if hinting, "You haven't participated in the trait test in a long time. You just updated your level and came here. Are you trying to give us a hard time?"

"This is truly the biggest joke in American history."

"A show of force?"

Roy repeated the three words, and at the same time, walked directly around the table towards the person in charge.

Just as he was about to approach, the adjutant stood up and blocked his way with an expression of unwavering resolve.

"I've heard that Mr. Roy has always kept his public and private affairs separate."

“Your brother made a mistake first, we were just following the rules.”

"Given your current posture, barging into the Supreme Council as an outsider, are you perhaps planning a rebellion?"

As expected of a lackey of the council, he could spout slanderous words without hesitation. This man then threatened Roy, who was approaching.

"Young man, you are too young and don't know many rules."

"I won't argue with you anymore, please sit down."

Roy, however, was not angry at all. Instead of getting angry, he patted the man on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said in a tone of advice.
