I am an honest female beta living in the slums, riding a rickety old bicycle through wooden shacks to deliver goods.
I respect the elderly, care for the young, and even pay 40% of my salary i...
Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Civilized Parade, Start with You, I...
I felt the hand caressing my cheek pause.
Looking up, I saw Kirsty's eyes hidden in her white hair.
The emotions in those eyes were so deep that I almost couldn't tell what emotions were in them.
Kirsty is indeed very smart. If he had not been subjected to the so-called "groom education" for a long time, perhaps his political achievements would be better than Tiwen's.
But his innocence made up for this very well, allowing me to cover him up again as he grew up, so that he would continue to be willing to listen to my sweet talk.
So I pretended to be confused and asked, "Kirsty, what's wrong?"
Then my eyes turned into shock again. Bewildered and sad, I grabbed Kirsty's hand and said, "I'm sorry, Kirsty. I don't want to force you. I know this request is too difficult for you. Don't worry. If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. I don't know your sister, and I don't know if she will blame you."
"Kirsty, I didn't think it through."
After pretending to be submissive, I slipped out of his arms pitifully and sat motionless on the desk.
He was about to say something, but I turned my head away and sighed.
Kirsty stood at the door for a moment, then came over and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Useless, you've changed since returning from the military zone," Kirsty said softly. "I know it's been a long time for you to get to this point."
His hand slowly moved down along the curve of my chest and reached my lower abdomen.
It's still wrapped in gauze. Although it's mostly healed, the occasional itch is a constant reminder of how close I was to death.
With Kirsty's comfort, the wound separated by gauze and cloth seemed to become less unbearable.
Kirsty went on: "You want me to help you, don't you?"
"Yes, Kirsty," I whispered back, finding the tips of his fingers and kissing them.
"I'm an omega, useless." Kirsty added, "Alphas wouldn't want an omega standing on top of them."
I turned to face him, a serious expression on my face. "Kirsty, you know I don't care about these things. I've told you before, you are you. Your intelligence and excellence have nothing to do with gender. You are even better than those so-called alphas."
"Now that I have this ability, I want you, no one else. Kirsty, no one can help me. We are the only ones in Ascend City who are in the same group. Please help me, Kirsty, you are the only one who can do it."
The further we went, the more excited I became. My eyes turned red, and I clung to Kirsty's arm in grievance. "Are you getting tired of me? Do you think I'm too clingy, or too useless?"
A young and promising vice president of the Senate, and a beta who is discriminated against in society. These two labels are strange and contradictory, but for Kirsty, they exude an indescribable temptation.
He likes to be someone else's support, likes others' attention to be focused on him, and likes to see the weak dependence of contradictory people.
I don't care what image I have in the eyes of my lover, but it would be best if I could always be a lovable victim. After all, victims can stand on the moral high ground and point fingers at everything outside.
"Kirsty, you'll help me, right?" I plead softly, resting my head on his stomach.
There was silence above my head. The omega's fingers ran through the ends of my hair, slowly combing out the ends that had been neglected for some time.
I don't know how long it took before Kirsty's voice came gently from above, "Useless, I told you I will always help you. You don't have to be so pitiful. I will agree to whatever you say."
"I'll find an excuse to ask my sister for the substandard goods, but you have to prepare the warehouse for storage yourself."
"Is the money enough?" He leaned over and whispered almost against my earlobe, "You can't use your own money for this shipment. The captain will definitely investigate. My dowry is very generous, so I'll make up for it for you first."
I jerked my head up, looking into Kirsty's eyes with a mixture of surprise and guilt. "Really? But that's your dowry, Kirsty. I'm not sure when I can return it to you."
"It's okay, it's useless." He smiled and kissed the corner of my mouth, "I know you can't do it now, but I believe you will be able to do it in the future."
The last of my worries faded away and I returned his kiss, "Kirsty, you're always there for me when I need you."
You see, Kirsty is still very innocent and cute.
Kirsty's bid for a senatorship naturally encountered significant opposition. This wasn't a matter of personal gain, but rather a matter of principle.
Forget about having two betas become president and vice-president. Everyone knows these positions aren't legitimate, and opposing them is punishable by death. But Kirsty is the first omega to hold a senator's seat since the government was established. This isn't a political struggle, but a point of shame if things don't go well. It's acceptable, but not in this term.
Besides, Kirsty only went to a groom's school and never attended a proper university.
"The groom's school is also a university. You're discriminating against academic qualifications," I said, taking it for granted, even a bit cheekily. I then sought the approval of Bunlington Horry, who had been successfully appointed with Kirsty's help. "I didn't even go to university, and Councillor Horry didn't label me a rebel just because I didn't go to university."
"How can this be the same?" The opposing senator's face flushed red, and he looked at me with a look that seemed to indicate that he wanted to write the word "stupid" in large letters.
"You and the dean have risen to this position through your own abilities, and everyone truly supports you. But Jane is just an omega. After graduating from university, she stayed home waiting to get married. She doesn't even have any work experience!"
I raised my voice even louder than his. "You know that the dean and I got to where we are today through our own strength. You also know that strength has nothing to do with gender. So why are you so opposed to it?"
"If you're that capable, I'll give you my position as vice president. How about you take it?"
"Hahahaha!" Bonlington watched the fun without a care in the world. "Wow, the Vice President is amazing, hahahaha."
He pulled Koria Lun along and said, "Brother, you're enjoying it too, right?"
Seeing Ke Liya Lun's cold face, he laughed uncontrollably again, "Brother, you don't disagree, do you?"
Corey Yalun twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Shut up."
Now both the Horrys, the older and younger, in the Senate are acting as gigolos in disguise, and no one can say anything about it.
In the end, after my debate with the crowd, the opposing senators had no choice but to sit back unwillingly.
What else could they do? With no power in their hands and no seats in the front row, they had no choice but to obey. The other senators who voted in favor didn't think too much about it, simply assessing the situation out of habit.
I also knew it wasn't appropriate to push too hard on everyone, so I gave everyone a favor when I argued for a seat for Kersti. Based on Kersti's family's current contribution to the war effort, I gave him the nineteenth seat. The last two seats were reserved by Fansu to win over the people of the Keya District.
At this point, after just two days, the nine vacant senator seats were filled again.
The entire Senate reached a high degree of unity in opinion, and because it was in the stage of purging the rebel party, its voice reached its peak.
But unfortunately, there was a jury in the Senate, and the bill submitted was rejected within three days.
With Cutler's warning a few days ago, I didn't let Fan Su continue to submit as I had said before, but instead organized and archived it, waiting for the right time.
Three more days passed like this, and Kirsty had completely adapted to the work and life in the Senate.
Everything seemed so peaceful, everyone was eating and drinking, and occasionally watching the increasingly large parade in the Keya district on TV.
This time, the leader was a young alpha female. Her face was fresh and innocent, and her brows were full of high spirits. She was obviously a student who had not yet left the university campus.
There was a huge strike march of 30,000 people, and the huge team led by her occupied two-thirds of the city center of Keya District.
Colorful signs were raised behind her, and everyone looked at the camera together with anger.
"Our demands are for human rights and dignity!"
"Over a hundred thousand people died in the slums, yet White Light Bay hasn't given a positive response yet! The citizens of Upward City do nothing, so why should we use our tax dollars to support them?"
"What's behind the slums? Why wasn't the white ore found in the military zone made public? Did White Light Bay know about its existence before the military zone? If so, what did they do to us with the white ore?"
“We are citizens and have the right to know!”
"When the government established a military zone between Shangxing City and Keya District in the name of protecting citizens, whose citizens were they protecting?! What do you think of the citizens of Keya District?"
She raised her arms, her eyes filled with anger, "We want answers! Give us answers!"
Although her voice was not loud, it stirred up thousands of waves, which rippled through the crowd and gradually gathered into a shocking wave that hit the rocks.
"We want answers! Give us answers!"
My breathing became heavier and heavier, and my fingers unconsciously scratched the armrests of the seat.
Kanoka was impatient to listen to the news and sat next to me, concentrating on reading a romance novel.
I pretended to observe his profile out of the corner of my eye and asked, "Noka, what do you think of this leader of the parade?"
"What?" He glanced at the TV, then looked away in disgust. "It's so annoying. Low-class bastards just love to do this kind of stuff."
I chuckled, "Noka, I also climbed up from the bottom. Before today, my status was even lower than hers."
Kanoka was stunned for a moment, then said as a matter of course, "But you are different now. You are my fiancée, and you are also the vice president of the Senate."
He said these harsh words with a look of pure innocence, showing that he had never suffered any hardship (if he had, it was my fault). It was funny to listen to, and I did laugh.
I understand Cutler's fun. It's really fun to have an innocent and stupid cat around.
"Noka." I called him, "I hope you will always maintain this innocent character."
Kanoka thought I was praising him, and he gave me a small kick in embarrassment and annoyance, then couldn't suppress the corner of his mouth and turned to the other side, "Oh, you're so annoying. If you really like me, you should behave properly."
"I've been busy with wedding matters these past few days, but you didn't ask me a single question and left everything to me. You're so lazy."
"Okay, I know you respect me, but you're so irresponsible for not even asking."
He rambled on and on, and I turned my attention back to the TV, giving him a worthless reply from time to time.
"Bang!"
The loud noise coming from the TV startled Kanoka, "Ah! What are you watching!"
I didn't answer and continued to watch the crowd on the screen in chaos due to the gunshots.
After the gunshots, there was chaos.
No one is investigating who fired the first shot. All we know is that someone died in this large-scale march, turning a civilized march into a riot.
One person, two people, countless people fell one after another.
The leader of the march was standing in the most conspicuous position and was immediately subdued and put into a car as a suspect.
Then came the high-pressure water cannons and smoke bombs.
The torture instruments used on members of the rebel party in the military zone were used on citizens of the Keya district.
