I am an honest female beta living in the slums, riding a rickety old bicycle through wooden shacks to deliver goods.

Chapter 103 Chapter 103 The End of the Previous Game
I had a very one-sided view before.
I thought power and money were only transmitted through sex and blood ties. Now I know I was wrong. They are also transmitted through the teacher-student relationship.
Rolatini, Fansu and Cassana are typical examples, and I, an outsider, was well excluded.
I really stepped on Lolatini's bottom line, and I also had no scruples about biting out the interests that belonged to them in front of Fansu and Cassina.
But behind huge risks come huge rewards. Rights can beautify risks, while risks can feed back into rights.
That's why everyone is flocking to it.
There was a coldness in Rolatini's eyes as he looked at me carefully.
Fansu and Cassina stood a little further back, so I couldn't see their expressions clearly. But I didn't care. I believed that as long as Rolatini nodded, they would still put on their usual expressions and chat and laugh with me.
"Still considering it?" I asked. "How much time do you think we have left between White Light Bay's reconnection and Noiva's external negotiations?"
"Ali has arrived at the signal tower. If you nod, I will immediately notify her to destroy the signal tower."
Lola Tini looked at me and suddenly raised a familiar, friendly, helpless smile, as if the cold atmosphere just now did not exist.
She said, "Wuyin, if I had insisted on bringing you back, perhaps we wouldn't be having this negotiation now."
"Aren't you afraid that we will destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
I shrugged and spread my hands. "Chief, you're mistaken. Given my personality, I wouldn't just negotiate with you. If I had the chance, I'd even kill you and Paffir Londo."
"And I like to leave a way out for myself in everything I do."
Rolatini agreed.
Starting from the negotiation building, walk towards the huge white beam of light.
In the commercial district, on the huge screen, Noeva was still reading her speech to the people outside the screen.
"White Light Bay has never abandoned the citizens of Upward City and Keya District. White Light Bay has always provided shelter to citizens who pay taxes legally. White Light Bay is with you."
She was like a robot, her pronunciation was clear but her tone was flat. She seemed to be looking at the camera, but in fact there was nothing in her eyes.
The huge white beam was getting closer and closer.
When I came to the foot of the beam of light, I looked up and felt that this white beam of light pierced through the sky, dividing the inside and outside of the beam of light.
It was the time when the morning glow was at its peak, but the sunlight could not penetrate the beams at all.
There is a layer of sealed glass outside the beam, which must be opened from the inside.
I stood at the front and swallowed a pill first.
The beam split into a rectangular shape, and the alpha male opened the glass door from the inside.
"Finally here." Rondo said.
All the soldiers gathered outside the beam and the door was not allowed to close, but only four people entered.
Rondo walked in front and we followed behind him.
The corridor was spacious and empty, but I smelled a faint smell of blood.
The ground under my feet was made of metal. I looked down and could see my body distorted by the metal.
Every time you take a step, you can hear the crisp sound of the heel hitting the metal.
The walls on both sides are also made of metal, which feels cold and heavy. Perhaps due to lack of maintenance due to its age, clear scratches can be seen.
I focused my attention on Rondo in front of me again.
There were blood stains on his trouser legs.
It seems that Ali killed everyone in the Londo family except Pavel.
As I stepped into the final room, I could see all the details clearly.
Ali squatted under the huge screen, her face and body covered in blood.
She had no expression on her face, she just wanted to find a slightly cleaner piece of cloth from the fallen body to wipe the dagger.
But he hadn't wiped it clean yet. When he looked up and saw me, he gave up and stood up to look at Fansu and Cassina behind me.
"Ali, it's okay." I said.
Ali narrowed her eyes, "Is everything okay?"
"Are there no others to kill?"
"No, and it's almost over," I replied.
Ali seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
She didn't even wipe the blood off the dagger, but stuffed it into her waistband and found a place to sit down and rest.
There are too many people in the Londo family, and even with Pavel's help, it will be difficult to deal with them.
I made room for him, humbly gestured "please," and said to Lola Tini with a smile, "Please, Chief."
A light flickered on the giant screen, and after a brief signal connection, a hospital bed appeared. Above the bed, a smaller screen appeared, showing Noeva repeating the script.
Lola Tini smiled and looked at the woman on the hospital bed through the screen.
"Mr. President, are you dying?"
I silently turned my face away, pretending not to hear this friendly greeting.
The president lying on the hospital bed was very thin, with sunken cheeks and dark circles around his eyes. It was obvious that he had not rested for a long time.
I looked at Noeva who was reading the script above her and found that there was some similarity between their eyebrows and eyes.
But my hunch is that this is not the president's daughter or sister.
The president looked tired, but his dark eyes were deep and heavy.
"It's not time to die yet, but it's almost there."
Lola Tini chuckled. "If it weren't me, would you have let Noeva take over White Light Bay for you? With all due respect, that child is not suitable. She hasn't learned how to be a human at all."
"She doesn't even have a gender."
"But only people like this are more suitable for the future," the president replied. "She has no glands and isn't even a beta, but she possesses the fertility of an omega and can also achieve parthenogenesis."
"She's fine, she's just not used to it yet."
Noeva continued to read the script, her expression never changing, and she didn't seem tired at all.
I was horrified by what I saw, but I also felt a certain excitement stirring deep down in my bones, so I simply raised my hand to interrupt their conversation.
"So what is she? Is she still human? Did you give birth to her?"
The president slowly turned his gaze over and fixed it on me.
"I recognized you. You were the only beta baby in the no-man's land back then. I originally wanted to take you away, but failed."
"You are more suitable for experiments than Noeva."
I immediately got goosebumps all over my body, "Forget it then."
Although I once boasted that the president would be my mother, but looking at Noeva's expression, I would never want to do that.
"Noeva is considered a human being, but not a normal human being," the president said, looking away from the screen.
I guess that's the direction Noeva is in.
"She needs to learn how to be normal."
Lola Tini: "I can accept her, but you can only stay in the Islands."
The woman on the hospital bed was silent.
She had no room to fight back.
The rebels' desperate efforts had destroyed the islands' defenses, two signal towers had been destroyed, and she herself was seriously ill.
Even the white ore that had been prepared many years in advance was taken away at this time.
It seems that all capital that can be used for resistance has been overthrown.
So the president could only nod heavily.
The voice reading the script above suddenly stopped.
Noeva raised her head and turned her body back as if looking at something.
I don't know how much time passed, but Noeva turned back, put on her gentle and warm yet formal diplomatic smile again, and read a completely different speech.
"Citizens of Ascend City, Keya District, Military District, No Man's Land, and the Archipelago, I am Noeva, the person in charge of this announcement."
"After careful consideration, His Excellency the President, in order to ensure the safety of citizens' property and lives, officially handed over control of White Light Bay to the leader of the Reconstruction Organization, Rolatini, at 10:12 AM on September 4th."
"During this negotiation, both sides fully exchanged views and reached consensus."
"The negotiations will take effect immediately. Citizens of the archipelago will board a designated cruise ship to return to the mainland at 3:30 PM on September 4th and will be officially incorporated into the citizenship of Ascendant City."
“After this comes into effect, His Excellency the President will automatically step down from office.”
A calm female voice echoed over the Ascending City, announcing the end of the previous political circle.
But this is not acceptable to anyone, especially the winner of the last political circle.
Everyone was eating well, with their mouths full of oil and their bodies full of fat, sitting on human chairs, and suddenly they were told that power was changing. No one would be willing.
If the new president gives the old-school families a share of the pie, everyone will be happy.
But it's clear that the new president is unwilling.
First of all, the new president is an omega, which does not conform to the social positioning of omega.
Secondly, she betrayed her own class. As a pope who received money from the Celestial Dragons, she actually sought benefits for the lower-class bastards.
In the end, he refused to accept the olive branch.
This is wrong and does not conform to sociological common sense, so I cannot accept it.
At 6:01 p.m. on September 4, the cruise ship carrying the citizens of the archipelago arrived at the port.
At 8:41 pm on September 4, an armed rebellion involving the tools of the old political circles began.
At 9:00 p.m. on September 4, the new government sent the army to suppress the protests.
At 9:00 p.m. on September 4, citizens of Keya District spontaneously joined the armed suppression team and stormed into the homes of some old political circle figures.
At 11:29 pm on September 4, the last political circle came to a real end.
At exactly midnight on September 5, a figure appeared again on the screen in the center of the commercial street.
"Today is September 5th, the first day of the new government."
"I am Bai Wuyin, President of the new government's Senate. I am here to announce the government's latest civic order to all citizens on behalf of the new government."
Behind Bai Wuyin were the ruins of a building, and under his feet was a temporary platform.
A simple table, a red tablecloth, and a microphone, without even a speech script.
Kobayashi, covered in dust, stood a little further back, and helped the soldiers raise the lights to ensure the scene was bright.
“The new government has confirmed that no-man’s land will be dismantled and citizenship will be granted to anyone within the federal territory.”
"Cancel the privileges of Upward City citizens and reduce the additional consumption tax for citizens of the Keya District to the same level as Upward City."
"A new basic civil rights bill has been added, adding the crime of insulting personal dignity."
“The new bill will give a new interpretation to the term citizen: citizenship will only mean the citizen’s birthplace, with all rights being equal and free.”
After reading out a long list of not-so-standard explanations, someone finally handed in a long list.
Under the gaze of the camera, Bai Wuyin took the list and read from the first item.
"The following is the list of people to be liquidated under the old government. The names or individuals listed on the list have all committed crimes such as murder, bribery, oppression, and unreasonable tax increases, seriously violating the rights of citizens under the new government."
She read them out one by one, and then read out the crimes of the family to which the surname belonged.
Fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, and death penalty.
In this struggle, no matter how long the former has been rooted, it will become floating under the beating of the latter.
"The Hori family." Bai Wuyin read out the familiar surname without any pause.
Korialun Hori and Banglinton Hori were sentenced to life imprisonment and fixed-term imprisonment respectively for bribery and hiring murder, and were required to surrender all their property and be deprived of their political rights.
In front of the TV, Kirsty Jane stared at the screen.
The living room was in a mess, and the luxurious crystal chandelier had fallen to the ground.
Kirsty recognized that the soldiers who broke into the villa were holding the goods that he had personally given to Bai Wuyin.
There are unique marks of the Jian family on it, and even the numbers are consecutive.
But Kirsty had no time to think about anything else and could only stare at the screen.
The list was too long, and Bai Wuyin couldn't finish it even after an hour of reading with a dry mouth.
Will there be a reckoning for the Jane family?
Will he die?
Kirsty didn't even have time to hate Bai Wuyin's deception and concealment, nor did she have time to hate the soldiers who broke into the villa. Her mind was blank and she was waiting for the verdict with a high degree of tension.
At 2:20 a.m. on September 5, the last surname on the list was finally read out.
"No...no." Kirsty fell beside the broken crystal chandelier, weakly holding onto the lamppost.
The Jian family did the right thing. The benefit of not participating in political struggles is that they can protect themselves when the battle comes to an end.
Kirsty stared blankly at the screen, then suddenly remembered something.
What about Tiwen Jean?
Where did he go again?
"Let's go." Someone stood behind Kirsty.
Kirsty turned around and saw that it was Twen Jane.
"Where to go?" Kirsten said. "To go to jail? Or to see my former allies? Will they let me go to the execution ground and see them executed?"
There were dark circles at the corners of Tiwen's eyes.
He rubbed his temples and continued, “You are a senator, do you want to be lazy?”
"If we don't behave, Bai Wuyin will shoot us next."
Kirsty: ...
Of course he knows this.
Weisha is the only one left in the Hori family. Her property has been liquidated and she is left alone.
The Londo family was also liquidated, leaving only Pafil.
The jury members were even more dead.
The Jian family had no room for resistance and had no choice but to obey.
Kirsty got up from the ground. His omega gender made him subconsciously want to tidy up his image, but he soon thought better of it.
He and Tiwen got on a special car and went to the temporary political building.
When she arrived at the first floor, Kirsty discovered that this was actually a simple office building.
Bai Wuyin was leaning against the front desk, and when he noticed him come in, he immediately raised a familiar smile.
But this smile was a little different.
It is no longer the lovable and vulnerable expression, nor the ambiguity and attachment towards a lover, but a smile of sudden enlightenment.
She took a step towards Kirsty, then walked in front of Kirsty, skillfully took Kirsty's hand and put it to her lips and kissed it gently, again and again, as if to comfort her.
"Kirsty, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Bai Wuyin raised his eyebrows and said, "You look so embarrassed, did someone bully you?"
"You are a senator, a senator promoted by me personally. No one can bully you."
Kirsty forced a smile.
He wisely did not question Bai Wuyin's deception, nor did he ask where the new name came from, nor did he ask the jury what to do.
"Kersty." Bai Wuyin called his name and said softly in a familiar yet unfamiliar tone, "Can you help me? Help me move forward a little bit. You can definitely help me."
"You've helped me so many times, and you saw me climb up with your own eyes. You must be very happy, right?"
Kirsty didn't know what expression she had, she just felt her eyes were covered with mist.
Waves of tinnitus drilled into her brain, and Kirsty only heard herself say one word.
"good."
Through the mist, Kirsty saw Bai Wuyin smiling.
"I love you, Kirsty. I know you enjoy hearing these words from me, and I will continue to do so."
