Chapter 61 Chapter 61 I’m so annoyed. What on earth did I forget?

Explosions, screams, cries, what else?

The entire Upward City was in chaos, with a severe shortage of guards. Even the military zone was thrown into chaos by the rebels' sudden attack.

I pulled Kanoka forward, having to dodge the flying shrapnel from time to time.

But the spoiled young master couldn't bear such high-intensity running at all. After a while, he was out of breath and started crying, yelling for the bodyguard to drive him away.

I don't have time to worry about him, I just need to make sure he stays alive.

As long as I can survive, the leader won't kill me, and I have enough bargaining chips to negotiate.

I took a moment to look back and tried not to laugh.

The first explosion was caused by the organization, and the subsequent explosions were entirely caused by Angsa.

He's ambitious and resourceful, like a wolf or tiger that relentlessly pursues meat once it smells it. He knows this is the opportunity I'm giving him, and whether he can seize it depends entirely on him.

A ceasefire? Ha, that's something only a moral person would abide by. If he could take advantage of this opportunity to carve a big piece of meat out of Ascend City and White Light Bay, who would care about the hypocritical things of morality and immorality?

In the face of huge interests, he won't care about me.

When I ran to a place far away from the checkpoint, I felt dizzy. It was probably because the wound was pulled and started bleeding.

But I didn't have time to care about that and stuffed Kanoka into the car.

The scene just now was too chaotic. The bodyguards fled in all directions, and only two or three were able to keep up.

"Drive away now!" I also jumped into the car and said to one of the bodyguards.

Someone suddenly shouted, "That's the foreman's adopted son!"

"Follow him! Follow him and you will survive!"

Kanoka sat in the back seat in shock, not understanding why those people called out his identity. He just held my hand tightly, with such force that he almost pinched it into the gauze.

I was in so much pain that cold sweat broke out on my forehead, and I urged the bodyguard to drive quickly.

The bodyguard nodded and stepped on the accelerator.

The level's location isn't great, especially in this chaotic situation, and the way the cars bounce around is like a highway that's been insanely dotted with speed bumps.

Haha, it’s not a speed bump, but it’s almost there… Stop thinking about the jokes from hell at this time!

"These rebels are all lunatics!" Perhaps thinking he was a little safer, Kanoka regained his domineering demeanor and cursed at the people outside the window, "Disgusting lunatics! They should all die!"

I didn't answer and let him grab my arm and curse at me.

Because I know he won't be able to stay like this for long.

three.

two.

one.

"Bang!"

The bullet went through the glass and hit the bodyguard driving the car in the head!

All of a sudden, the vehicle began to swing wildly!

The bodyguard on the passenger seat immediately stepped forward and grabbed the steering wheel, trying to control the vehicle, but was hit in the brain by the next bullet and fell down!

"Ahhhhhh!" Kanoka let out another shrill scream.

The bullet grazed his cheek and choked his scream in his throat.

Are you scared?

Great, you finally realized that death is very close to you.

Ge Xin's shooting skills are really good, I thought to myself.

Another bullet hit the vehicle's tire, and the entire vehicle spun wildly in place due to inertia.

"Sizzle—"

Kanoka threw herself into my arms, clutching my arm tightly in despair and fear.

My other hand grabbed the pull ring above, trying to maintain my balance as much as possible, while comforting Kanoka in his ear: "It's okay, I'm here, Kanoka."

I've paid such a high price, so you can tell your mother about my great achievements. I don't expect to get engaged, so why don't you ask your mother to stop sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight, and give me some meat after the fight?

If it doesn't work after today, I'm really at a loss. I really have to go to Angsa to work on organics.

I don't want to be organic! I don't want to be organic to fuck organic!

After a dizzying moment, the vehicle finally stopped.

I pulled Kanoka over and opened the car door, but he was unwilling to leave the car.

"I don't want to go down!" Kanoka is no longer the delicate young master.

After the thrilling escape just now, he was now as pitiful as he could be. He no longer spoke without thinking, but instead begged humbly, "Bai Wuyong, don't go out! They will kill me! I don't want to die!"

Dirty dust covered his face, washed repeatedly by the tears he had left behind, and the bright red mark left by the bullet made him look like a flower picked from a greenhouse and suddenly thrown to the ground, so miserable and pitiful.

In order not to leave the vehicle, he cried and trembled, "Don't go out, I don't want to die, wuwu, I don't want to die!"

I just looked at him, my eyes fixed on the fingers that were clutching my arm.

At first, I patiently tried to comfort him, "It's okay, Noka, come with me. We must evacuate to a safe place as soon as possible."

"I don't want it! I don't want it, please!"

"The rebels could break through the checkpoint at any moment. If they catch you, you'll be shot."

Kanoka shook his head desperately, "No! You stay and protect me, you have to protect me!"

I slapped him in the face.

The crisp sound of slapping rang out in the carriage. Kanoka looked at me with a dull expression, with tears still in the corners of his eyes that had not yet fallen.

After he finally quieted down, I forcefully pulled him out of the vehicle, held him horizontally in my arms, and ran quickly towards the designated route.

Let me reiterate, I am a gentleman and I would not normally resort to violence.

Unless the other person is a disobedient idiot.

It was a long distance, avoiding the fleeing crowd and all kinds of flying shrapnel.

I carefully observed my surroundings and the changing light and shadows above my head.

The sun had completely set, and shadows covered the entire earth. Kanoka and I finally arrived at a safer place.

In less than two hours, the chaos in various parts of Shangxing City was suppressed, followed by an explosion of public opinion.

The journalists had been preparing for a long time and couldn't wait to run forward and point the microphone at Kanoka and me. The brightness of their flash lights was comparable to the midday sun.

"Mr. Ka, how do you feel about being kidnapped by criminals this time?"

"What is your relationship to this lady?"

"Is it true that there's news that the jury foreman intends to choose a partner for you?"

"As for the gangster who kidnapped you, did you know that he was a member of the rebel party?"

"Do you know the inside story of this riot? Can you describe the hijacking process and the details in detail?"

Kanoka was still stunned, not knowing how to react.

He still pulled at my arm tightly, and faced with a constant flood of questions, I had no idea how to answer.

I grabbed a camera and smashed it to the ground. "Have you had enough?"

Everyone was quiet.

I noticed the vehicle arranged by the group leader coming over, so I took advantage of everyone's stunned silence to protect Kanoka and push through the crowd.

The car door opened and I saw Cutler, who finally stopped wearing that friendly smile.

"I'm scared, Noka." Cutler called to Kanoka, "Come on up."

After that, she waved at me again, "Nian...Wuyong, you come up too. This time, it's all thanks to you."

I got in the car and closed the door to block the reporters' sight.

In the gradually shrinking gap between the car door and the outside world, I saw the reporters' eyes changing in just a few seconds.

It was no longer the look of someone at the bottom of society who could be used for entertainment and fabricated gossip, but the look of curiosity, restraint and fear as someone was about to enter the circle of power.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, but it's enough to make my heart flutter.

What would their expressions be if I came into contact with the behemoth behind me?

I was completely lost for a moment. Maybe by that time, I wouldn't care about their expressions anymore.

The arrogance brought by power is enough to regard everything below as dust.

The atmosphere in the car was a little weird.

The spacious and luxurious car can accommodate six or seven people.

The private doctor was whispering to Kanoka to let go of my arm, and was humbly and carefully cleaning his cheek and treating the wound.

Another doctor asked about the source of the wounds on my body.

"Fever, shrapnel, and contusions," I replied to the doctor. "Please give me a tetanus shot."

The doctor was flattered, "No trouble!"

The electronic screen in front is broadcasting a live broadcast.

Cutler and I focused our gazes on the face on the screen.

Dutalia was also covered in wounds and looked dusty.

But her eyes were firm, like a lion that had just survived a fight with a ferocious beast, and the wrinkles on her face were like scars left by time.

"I can't stand what Ascend City and White Light Bay have done! I can't stand being in their wrongdoings anymore!"

"I am the scapegoat they pushed forward to cover up their crimes. I am the executioner they chose to kill hundreds of thousands of people!"

"They labeled me a rebel, but I know my heart yearns for justice!"

As more and more people watched the live broadcast, the information barrier that had existed for the citizens of Keya District was broken down. People finally knew about the existence of the slum and the source of the explosion that had occurred more than ten days ago.

It wasn't an industrial zone, nor was it a factory conducting experiments, nor was it a military exercise. Instead, it was the final wails of hundreds of thousands of dead, the agonizing cries of hundreds of thousands of souls.

"The people of Ascend City look down on you, and White Light Bay doesn't care about you either! You've been blinded by the false prosperity and become victims! We're not fighting for profit, we're fighting for you!"

Carter knew better than anyone whether Dutalia was a rebel, but the fact that Dutalia had directly become a rebel made Carter more confused than anyone else.

It was hard for me to pretend to be innocent.

This may be a bit confusing, but it is true.

I pretended not to know, and Cutler knew I was pretending not to know, and I knew she knew I was pretending not to know, and she knew I knew she knew I was...

In short, it’s very complicated, but as long as you know it, it’s fine.

Cutler didn't even have the fake smile anymore, and watched the live broadcast with a stern face like an old fox.

I also watched the live broadcast with her.

Soon, the screen changed its perspective and it was a replay of the military zone level just now.

At this time, the chaos had subsided. The reporter stood in front of the house that was shattered by the explosion and carefully reported what had just happened, and also introduced the details of what happened during the chaos.

When my face and Kanoka's face appeared in the replay, the reporter's expression was briefly complicated and subtle, but her strong professionalism allowed her to regain her composure and continue to narrate objectively.

Kanoka didn't understand why the atmosphere in the car was so strange, and after treating his wound, he still stayed close to me.

It wasn't until the news ended that Carter turned to look at me expressionlessly, smiling, "Young people have a strong ability to learn. It hasn't been long, and you're already capable of doing great things."

I responded with a humble smile, "I also have to thank the group leader for giving me the opportunity to learn."

"Not pretending anymore?" she asked.

"At this point, if I keep pretending, I'll be dead," I replied. "You've also risen from the bottom, so you'll definitely understand my approach."

As long as I can survive and move up, I will do anything.

Dutalia wanted to kill me because of the child, but she would also cooperate with me for the chance to survive.

She was only in her forties, with only one child—she could always find another omega to have another. But she only had one life, and if she survived, she could even get an olive branch from another powerful circle. She could give it a try.

For Dutalia, everywhere is a conspiracy. It's just a matter of switching from a formal organization to a private one, and she will be able to get the hang of it quickly.

"...Heh." Carter finally put on a fake, friendly smile, patted my shoulder, and said earnestly, "Prepare well for tomorrow, it's useless. After today, your votes will be higher than Horry's Coriaron."

At this point, suppressing public opinion will only make the people in Keya District anxious. Coupled with Dutalia's inflammatory remarks, riots will sooner or later break out in Keya District.

Before it reaches that point, Shangxing City still needs people from the Keya District to deal with all kinds of garbage.

I subconsciously touched the black wolf tail hanging on my shoulder and said, "Thank you for your appreciation, Captain."

Cutler chuckled twice, then suddenly narrowed his eyes. "I've sent someone to the Keya District to pick up your brother."

It's so funny. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it.

Thinking of the other person's crying face, I felt a headache, but I still said thank you, "Thank you."

The vehicle finally drove back to the mountaintop villa.

Kanoka remained quiet and well-behaved throughout the whole process, like a frightened cat, with only his eyes daring to move.

Yosir was already waiting at the door. Upon seeing Kanoka wrapped in gauze after getting out of the car, he immediately gave a worried, professional smile. Only when he saw me, who was more seriously injured, did his smile change.

"Noka, I was so worried about you. Fortunately, you are back." Yosir stepped forward and wanted to hold Kanoka's hand.

Kanoka dodged.

Yosir's smile froze on his face.

Cutler glanced at Yosir meaningfully and said to Kanoka, "Knoka, go play with your friends first. Wuyong and I have other things to discuss."

"...I got it, Mom." Kanoka responded in a low voice, looking back every few steps to stare at me, and then left reluctantly with Yosir.

"Young people just have energy," Cutler said.

Oh, she knows again.

I thought nonchalantly. It was only natural. It would be strange if the controlling Carter didn't know about what Yossier and I were doing in someone else's guest room.

As I followed Cutler to the study, I went over in my mind the roles everyone had played tonight.

Olvera is a rebel who kidnapped Kanoka, Levin is a rebel who tried to escape but was caught by Corialon, Dutalia is a "righteous" rebel who could not tolerate the Ascending City and White Light Bay's disregard for human life, and I am a low-level person who was deceived by the evil Ascending City and had to frame Dutalia, and then rescued the kidnapped Kanoka and killed the rebels.

I have a tainted record, but that's okay. The people of Kayah will forgive me because I'm the only one seeking justice for the hundreds of thousands of people living in the slums. Dutalia herself has admitted to being a rebel. At most, I exposed her identity in advance, not intentionally.

And just in that one night, everyone also knew that the rebel party was divided into two factions: the brutal organization fighting in the military zone, and the "reconstruction" organization that truly existed for the grassroots people.

Hahaha, look, the news brought to the Keya District tonight is getting more and more the more we dig.

Look at what kind of information cocoon the people of Shangxing City and Baideng Bay have woven for the people of Keya District?

Entering the study, I stood in front of the desk.

In fact, I always feel that there is one thing that has not been completed tonight, and it is extremely urgent.

It feels like I’m going to die if I don’t finish it, but I just can’t remember it.

No, there are too many things to do today and I am too busy.

"I'll arrange your PR tomorrow," Cutler said straight to the point, sitting at his desk. "On the 15th, the Senate election day, as long as your vote count is good enough, I can arrange a front-row seat for you."

Senate positions represent weight.

"Once you're in the Senate, you can announce your engagement."

I nodded and said jokingly, "It seems that I am more favored by Kanoka than by Coriaron Hori."

Cutler couldn't suppress the fake smile on his face. "Threatening an innocent child's life to make him dependent on you is useless. You are indeed impressive."

Wow, you guessed that too?

But what can I do? I can't think of any other way to make an arrogant idiot like me quickly except the suspension bridge effect.

I began to feel proud again.

Listen, suspension bridge effect, what a nice professional term. I feel satisfied that I rarely use the knowledge learned from books.

On the way out of the study and back to the guest room, I still couldn't remember what I had forgotten.

As the time ticked towards nine o'clock, I felt a headache.

The communicator is also gone, so I have to buy a new one.

I also owe Ali 11,000 yuan, and I don’t want to pay it back.

So annoying, what did I forget?

When I was washing up in the bathroom of the guest room, I was shocked and suddenly remembered!

Oh my god! Kirsty is still waiting for me to explain it to him!

Damn it! He must have seen my face and Kanoka's on the news! Ugh, how am I supposed to explain this?

-----------------------

The author has something to say: I'm very busy, Xiaobai. I wrote five or six chapters in just one day.

By the way, I still haven't decided on the name of the heroine's lover's brother. I've always called him the guy from Keya District, hahahaha
