Chapter 102 Chapter 102 Bottom Line Negotiation
Ascend City fell into chaos.
The Senate building and the Jury Building were surrounded.
Various public facilities are also crowded with citizens who migrated from the Keya district.
The senators and jury members, who should have responded quickly, were as calm as death at this moment, and did not issue any strong comfort or announcement.
Even the police who were supposed to suppress the riots were nowhere to be seen.
Ascent City seemed to have been abandoned by White Light Bay.
Fansu quickly took off Lolatini's heavy clothes and changed him into a light and simple shirt.
"The signal tower in the uninhabited area was blown up and the information was successfully intercepted." Fan Su said.
The two were striding towards the secret passage.
"How long will it take to get back?"
"The military will pick them up, and they'll be there in six hours at the latest," Fan Su replied. "But Sena didn't get Bai Wuyin to reveal the hidden secret, and Ali wasn't willing to reveal it either."
"Where is the young alpha named Amu?" asked Lolatini.
"Our people are ready to go search, but the specific location is still being determined."
Finally leaving the passage, the two quickly reunited with their contact.
Lolatini raised his head and looked at the huge white beam of light in the center of the Ascending City.
At night, the white beams are so bright that they even cover the light of the moon, making people dizzy.
Suddenly, Rolatini thought of Pafil. "Where's Pafil? I haven't heard from him since the bill was passed today. Has there been any trace of him at the port?"
"No." Fan Su gritted his teeth.
This is not good news for Rolatini.
Should it be postponed? We've been waiting for this day for twenty years, planning for twenty years. What else is there that we haven't figured out?
She took a deep breath, her fingers trembling, and spoke slowly, "To suppress the riot in Shangxing City, focus on defense and avoid direct confrontation."
"First, evacuate the crowd surrounding the Senate Building and the Jury Building, and destroy them after confirming that they are safe."
"All the people on the list will be detained in prison."
"Remember the most important thing: never harm innocent people."
Fan Su nodded: "Yes."
"Where is Ali now?"
Fan Su: "She is being guarded."
Rolatini: "Let her go find Carter and Rondo first. The Rondo family has followed the president for so many years, they must have an emergency plan. If Bai Wuyin and Rondo's interests become entangled to a certain extent, Bai Wuyin will know what Rondo is going to do. As for Carter, just kill her."
"yes."
Fansu protected Lolatini as he entered the building and signaled his subordinates with his eyes to convey the order.
On the other side, Ali, who was freed, rubbed her wrist first.
Looking at the person who had uncuffed her, she asked, "Where's she?"
The guard knew who Ali was asking about, so he said, "It's not the final moment yet. The leader and Bai Wuyin are not yet at the point where one of them must die. You can do something for the leader now, and Bai Wuyin and the leader will consider it later."
Ali nodded without thinking and took the pistol and dagger.
The guard didn't ask Ali how to find Cutler in this chaotic time, and Ali didn't intend to tell anyone.
On the evening of September 1, Bai Wuyin sent two messages to Ali, which were withdrawn within ten seconds.
The first one told her the news of the prosecutor's death, and the second one was a book that Bai Wuyin often borrowed when he was in the slums.
Of course, Ali didn't actually go back to the slums to look for the book. The next morning, September 2, Ali went to the library where she worked, sorted through all the books, and found the book.
There is a lot of information in it, and it is difficult for Ali to figure it out.
But the tacit understanding of seven years made Ali understand Bai Wuyin's meaning, and she set off in the early morning of the 3rd.
But in the afternoon, Ali was in a hurry and had no time to clean up the traces of the inquiry, which were discovered by Fan Su.
Fansu didn't get anything out of Ali.
Bai Wuyin did not reveal the most important secret at all, just to save Ali's life and wait for the two sides to exchange weights in the final period.
After all the equipment was ready, Ali left the building and went to look for Carter under the cover of night.
"Boom——" an explosion sounded.
Ali took a moment to take a look.
It was the jury building that exploded.
The once majestic building finally revealed its dilapidated state, collapsing under the destruction of ammunition, exposing the steel and concrete inside.
White dust and shrapnel from the explosion flew out, shocking a large area.
After the explosion, no one seemed to make any more noise, and everyone was silently staring at this building that once represented the highest power in the Upward City.
As Ali was about to leave the area, she heard someone exclaim.
"The jury building is really gone!"
It's like the jury is gone.
In fact, it is true that the jury will not appear again after tonight.
Cutler realized this all too clearly.
Whether or not those who restructure the organization succeed tonight, the jury will become the dust of history and then be crushed.
She didn't know what she should think or do at this moment.
This seemed to be caused by herself. It was her concession that allowed the bill to be passed, allowing soldiers from the military zone to enter the Ascending City openly. She also sincerely hoped that Cassina could use this opportunity to move to a higher position.
Carter thought a lot, thinking about this special period. Even if the jury had to be disbanded due to public opinion and military pressure, at least Cassina would be able to climb up.
But Cassina betrayed her class and her mother.
There is a person next to me who is chattering non-stop and I still can't figure out the form of the chatter.
Kanoka had no idea why those violent citizens of the Keya District would enter the Upward City in just a few days, nor did he understand why he was dragged into the basement today for no reason.
This seemed to be related to his sister, but no matter how hard Kanoka racked his brains, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
So Kanokawen asked: "Mom, did my sister really destroy the signal tower that communicates with Baideng Bay?"
Cutler said calmly, "Yeah."
"Why?" Kanoka wondered.
"Boom!!" Another strong vibration came from above. Through the broadcast on the screen, Kanoka saw that the Senate building was destroyed.
He burst into a scream of terror, "Ah!"
Cutler sat down in his chair wearily.
She began to think again, wondering if the situation today would not have happened if Kanoka had not been able to restrain himself from shooting Yosir Hori.
But after thinking about it, Cutler realized that this was not the case. If she had not raised Kanoka like this, Kanoka would not have shot Yosir Hori. Ultimately, she was the culprit.
A jury foreman who was nearing old age, in a high position of power and ambitious, finally succumbed to a whim he had eighteen years ago.
She also lost to a young and energetic beta youth who was only 23 years old and had just been out of the slums for less than three months.
Cutler waited.
Waiting for tonight's results may also be waiting for the young people to be reckoned with.
"Ding——" The sound of the electronic door lock opening.
The bodyguards around immediately pointed their guns at the door.
Carter felt tired for the first time in a long time, but at the same time, a contradictory and strange expectation arose in his heart.
"Put the gun down," Cutler said.
The bodyguards didn't understand, but did as they were told.
The heavy door opened, revealing the figure of a young alpha.
Cutler looked at Ali and said, "I heard about you from Xiaolin."
"Xiao Lin said you were Kirsty Jane's man. I didn't believe it, but I couldn't imagine your purpose. Now I know. You came to kill me."
She smiled and said, "Can you answer my last question before I die for Bai Wuyong?"
Ali took out her pistol and pointed it at Catler. "Ask me."
"Will you do anything for my child, Serena?" Cutler asked.
She got a negative answer.
Ali said: "Wuyin can't do it, and neither can I."
"Her name is Bai Wuyin?" Carter laughed. "This name is much better than the previous one, and it suits her."
"It's a pity that she and Sena have competition. If not now, then in the future."
"Mom!" Kanoka trembled in fear. "What are you talking about? Why did she want to kill you? Bai Wuyong, her name is Bai Wuyin? What's going on? What's going on with my sister?"
"Hold him down." Cutler's tone turned cold. "Noka, I should take you with me before I die. That way, Senna and Bai Wuyin will have a reason to fight to the death in the future."
"But since this young man has the guts to come here, I know Bai Wuyin has other ways to deal with it. So you still have to marry Bai Wuyin, and it's best to tie her to Senna."
Enough of Cutler's last words.
Ali doesn't have that much respect for dying people, but Bai Wuyin does.
So she was very patient. Since Carter didn't mind dying, she might as well wait.
Wait until Carter gives the order, have the bodyguard knock Kanoka unconscious, and then walk towards the gun.
"Go ahead, young man."
Ali nodded and squeezed the trigger.
After the body fell to the ground, Ali turned around and left the basement without any hesitation, without caring about the bodyguards and the unconscious Kanoka.
Back on the first floor, Ali passed by the members of the organization who came to clean up.
The Londo family has been entrenched in Ascend City for many years, and their hiding place will only be made more secretive by Carter.
Ali recalled the information given by Bai Wuyin and searched many places.
Time passes little by little, and the dark night is about to pass.
The originally chaotic streets were cleared and all ordinary people were ordered to stay at home and wait for further notice.
But until 5:30 in the morning, Ali still hadn't found Rondo's hiding place, and could only sit on the roof tiredly waiting for sunrise.
Ali saw a young woman appear on the big screen in the center of the commercial street, which was originally used to play advertisements.
"Citizens of Ascend City and Keya District, this is White Light Bay. I am Noeva, and I am the diplomat for this negotiation."
Ali blinked.
Even though she was detained by the organization, she knew that the signal tower was destroyed by Cassina.
But what was going on in front of me? Why was Baidengwan still able to contact the mainland?
Once again thinking of a piece of information she found in the book, Ali stood up quickly and ran towards somewhere!
At the same time, Bai Wuyin met with Lola Tini.
"There are two signal towers," said Rolatini.
Bai Wuyin smiled and said, "Yes."
The young beta sat alone on one side, forming a huge contrast with the crowd opposite.
Lolatini no longer put on that friendly and inclusive smile, but instead revealed his true coldness. "Paffir Londo told you."
"Yes." Bai Wuyin continued to nod, "He is also an ambitious man. I just made a bet with him."
Lola Tini didn't care about the bet, but she had to destroy the second signal tower immediately before White Light Bay could react, so she asked simply and clearly: "What do you want?"
"I want whatever you have."
Lolatini sneered, "Wuyin, what can you take from me?"
"Of course it depends on what you have prepared for me." Bai Wuyin also sneered, "You didn't intend to give me anything very good. Maybe you have prepared something for my future self, but it takes too long, and I don't want to wait."
"Your student is Fansu, Fansu's student is Kasena, and I have nothing."
Bai Wuyin leaned forward slightly. "Power is inherited through relationships, and I'm excluded by you. This is unfair to me. You should know that I've contributed as much as you have."
Bai Wuyin held up two fingers and said, "I only have two requests."
Rolatini: "Speak."
"I want the position of President of the Senate," I said, "and above me, there is no one else but you."
This is a requirement that appears simple on the surface but is actually complex in reality.
Lolatini understood what Bai Wuyin meant.
Bai Wuyin wanted the power to be free from control, and he knew that his request for that position was too far-fetched, so he simply stepped back. As for Fansu and Kasena, Bai Wuyin didn't make any special demands, so naturally he could do whatever he wanted.
"The second request." said Rolatini.
Bai Wuyin looked at Kasena and spoke clearly, "Kasena, she can only be Fansu's student and can only stay in the military field."
This is the bottom line that Bai Wuyin has tested.
Once she crosses this bottom line, she will face a life-and-death situation.
