Chapter 96 Chapter 96 Keya District, No Man's Land

The leader of the march was taken away, and the remaining marchers were defeated in less than half an hour under the impact of high-pressure water cannons and smoke bombs.

Armed officers used restraints to grab a few troublemakers and put them in the car. If they still refused to obey, they would use electric batons, which always managed to subdue them.

This riot also impacted the major media outlets in Upward City for the second time in a very short period of time.

No reporter on the scene was left beating their chests in despair over missing such a momentous occasion. While the gossip surrounding prominent figures certainly captivated viewers, the violent demonstrations were even more captivating.

Kanoka stared at the chaotic scene on the screen, his expression growing even more irritated and disgusted. "I hate it! When will these people just behave themselves?"

I turned off the screen and smiled. "Since Baidengwan can't spare the energy to manage the Keya District right now, we have to leave it to Upward City to manage."

"There won't be just one parade like this; there will be a second and a third."

Seeing that it was getting late, I personally escorted him out of the villa and opened the car door for him.

Kanoka struggled to think, trying to get back to the topic. "So how can we stop them from quarreling?"

I lowered my eyes and took in the omega's anxious and irritated expression.

Is this another example of omega cultivation? In order to maintain a long-term life, he forces himself to learn things he has never encountered before.

"There are two solutions." I didn't care whether he understood or not. I held up two fingers and said to him, "First, continue to delay until Baideng Bay has dealt with all the rebels in the military zone. That way, we'll have the energy to directly suppress all demonstrations and send the leaders to the execution platform."

Kanoka was impatient, "What about the second method?"

"The second option is much more troublesome." I pressed him into the back seat of the car and gently straightened his shirt, acting like a caring fiancée. "As the Vice President of the Senate and a senator elected from the Keya District, I must personally explain and account to them, and offer solutions to the problems. For example, the ever-increasing consumption tax and other new taxes. Of course, the most important thing is the white ore. I also need to explain it to them."

Omega's brain is stuck. He doesn't understand why I have to go in person, and he doesn't understand the various consumption taxes. He just knows that he is bothering me.

So he curled his lips, his beautiful eyes filled with displeasure, "Then the first option is fine. There's a military zone in between anyway, so they can't march to the Upward City."

"You're already very busy, and you still have to deal with their problems. Can we still get married?"

I chose to avoid this question with a smile.

The next day I arrived at the Senate floor and Kirsty walked straight up to me.

"Bai Wuyong, that batch of substandard goods..."

I interrupted the spell before he could finish, "Do you think I was the one who sent that batch of goods to the Keya District?"

Kirsty was stunned, then realized that he was being too arbitrary, so she suppressed her anger and asked, "What's going on?"

Not long after the goods were delivered, riots and marches broke out in the Keya District. No matter how you look at it, I am highly suspected.

I took him into the office and asked Xiaolin to make him a pot of tea.

Seeing that the anger between his brows had finally dissipated a little, I softened my tone and explained, "I sent that batch of goods to Ascending City, and I haven't had time to process it yet. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the warehouse tonight to check it out."

Kirsty was skeptical. "Really?"

"Kirsty, you don't trust me either?" I said a little aggrievedly. "This is a critical period. I dare not act rashly. I have to wait until the storm has died down before I can sell the goods."

Kirsty's last doubts were dispelled.

He held a teacup, his fingers tangled haphazardly with the long white braid that fell by his shoulder. "Gun control in the Keya District has always been strict. Two or three guns would be fine, but today's news revealed that nearly three thousand guns were seized from the home of the leader of the march, along with ammunition worth a hundred thousand dollars."

"This number is very close to that of the batch of substandard goods."

"Kersty, except for the people in the Keya District, it's easy to get guns in other places." I said to Kirsty. "Let's not talk about the people in the Upward City, what about the military zone? And the slums where I used to live, there are a lot of them because of the chaos."

Why would the people of Shangxing City care about the Keya District when they have nothing better to do? During this special period, they should just let the people of Keya District have a civilized parade. Who would secretly send arms to the people of Keya District?

"So, it's the rebels?" Kirsty frowned. "They fled to the Keya district and infiltrated the parade?"

"That's my guess." I nodded. "The Military Zone borders the Upward City in the Keya District. If we can't escape into the Upward City, we can only run to the Keya District. If the people in the Military Zone want to pursue us, they'll have to enter the Keya District, which will be very troublesome."

"Right now, the Keya district is full of large and small demonstrations. It would be easy to start a riot. They could easily blend in with them and then, during the riot, pass through the Keya district to the slum ruins. The ruins haven't been formally planned yet, and few people care about them. This gives them time to recuperate."

What I said was half true and half false.

I don’t know whether there are any rebel parties, but I know that there must be people from within the organization.

The leader of the march is quite powerful. Last night, Lola Tini sent a message saying that there is a chance to recruit her into the organization.

It's not difficult, you can try it.

I tapped my fingers on the table. Seeing Kirsty still lost in thought, I said, "Kirsty, if you're really worried, you could have your sister's people go to the Keya District and inspect the surrendered guns. If they're from your company, they'll have special markings on them, regardless of whether they're qualified."

Kirsty's eyelashes trembled. "Yeah."

I checked the time and took his hand as we left the office. "The rebels won't be eliminated so easily. Even if we die, many people will be dragged down with us."

"Your family is in the arms business and is most likely to be entangled. You just need to make sure your sister doesn't do business directly with those people. With you and Tiwen, no one can touch the Jian family."

With my comfort and persuasion, Kirsty finally relaxed.

My statement was confirmed in the afternoon meeting.

Fan Su smiled and showed everyone the photo on the screen. "This is one of the rebels who has been confirmed to have fled to the Keya District and caused riots."

Banglington held up his face, his eyes filled with a fake smile, but with a hint of doubt. "This should be a military district issue. Even if we go to the Keya District to investigate, we should hand it over to the Procuratorate, not the Senate."

"Of course, this isn't the Senate's responsibility," Fan Su shrugged. "But the bill we submitted a few days ago was just rejected by the jury, and a few days later, the rebels were discovered to have fled to the Keya District. This makes it very difficult for us to deal with this."

The twenty-first council member from the Keya District raised his hand and spoke, "The bill we submitted will help promote exchanges between the Keya District and Upward City. For a long time, the existence of the military district has increased the prejudice between the citizens of the two districts."

"Our bill does have certain dangers, but from another perspective, it can be a bold attempt. It aims to allow citizens of the two districts to fight the insurgent party together."

I listened to it and felt like it was pointing to me.

When I looked towards Fan Su, I realized that everyone's eyes were focused on me.

Well, I just returned to Uptown a few days ago and I have to go on a business trip again.

I exhaled, then, using the twenty-first senator's voice as a prelude, continued, "If we want to provide evidence that convinces the jury, we have to go there in person. If only the military district personnel were to go to the Keya District, many procedures would be cumbersome, and the prosecutor's office wouldn't be able to intervene directly without the military district. I've been to the military district and had a brief exchange with General Kasena. I can go and see for myself."

Almost as soon as the punctuation mark fell, Fan Su couldn't wait to clap his hands, "Vice President Bai is worthy of being selected from the Keya District. He is so thoughtful!"

If I didn't know that she and I were in cahoots, I would really have thought she was being mean to me.

It’s not easy for me to go to the Keya District. The complicated procedures are enough to give me a headache.

But before that, I have to go to church to maintain my image of respecting faith.

Lola Tini handed me the check with a smile. "Are you satisfied with the numbers?"

I held the check in both hands, my thumbs constantly tracing the printed words on the check. "Very satisfied, Chief, this is the motivation for me to join the organization!"

Fan Su squatted behind Lola Tini and made a fatal mockery of me, a poor and inexperienced person. "You are the one who lives off me, how come you are the one without any money?"

I immediately retorted, “That’s different, it’s different!”

Fan Su smiled playfully and ignored my quibbling as if he didn't hear it.

Putting the check in my pocket, I looked up at Lolatini and said, "Chief, what do you want to do? Will Fansu come with me? Or will Cassena go with me?"

The omega woman put on a motherly and tolerant smile, but her words were not so pleasant, "Wuyin, it's almost time."

"Huh?" I asked puzzledly.

In the secret room, Rolatini, still wearing the Pope's robes, smiled and pointed at the map on the table.

I followed her gaze down and saw her finger resting on the islands.

There are many islands in the sea, but Lolatini's eyes are fixed on one of them without a doubt. "They are here."

"How did you find out?" I asked.

Rolatini: "We tracked the rebels' escape routes and found them."

"Wuyin, the signal tower connecting them to the mainland is in the no-man's land. It's not convenient for me to leave Ascending City. You can take this opportunity to return to the no-man's land, find the signal tower, and destroy it."

It sounded like a difficult task. I frowned and pointed at Fan Su. "What about her? What's her mission?"

"Fansu is going to deal with the substandard weapons in the warehouse," Rolatini replied. "Amu's half of the design drawings is very useful. I've asked Xinluoya to complete the second half."

As the omega woman spoke, her gaze fixed on the archipelago on the map, a smile growing on her lips. "After destroying the signal tower, this batch of munitions can be modified and used in Ascending City and the military zone."

My breathing gradually became heavier. "Is that why you said time is almost up?"

"What if it fails? If the rebellion succeeds, everyone will be happy, but if it fails, you'll be executed. And how can you guarantee that the citizens of Keya will cooperate with you?"

Lolatini chuckled and shook his head. "Wuyin, you know these questions are meaningless. With the leader of the march who was arrested yesterday, our plan will definitely succeed."

Okay, now that you’ve said that, what else can I do? I can only obey and complete the task.

Leaving the room, I handed a jar of potion to Fansu and said, "When I leave, send it to Pafil Londo in my name."

Fan Su held the glass tube in his hand and observed it under the sunlight. "Did you bring this back from the military zone?"

"Well, the semi-finished product Qi Yuan made has a half-strength effect, making it just right for Longduo."

"Have you calculated the duration?" Fan Su asked.

I shrugged, "I don't know. If Qi Yuan gives it to me, I'll take it."

Thinking of that beta male, a subtle smile appeared on Fan Su's face. "Whose ability is stronger, his or Xinluoya's?"

"Of course it's Sinroya," I replied. "After Londo uses this potion, he'll definitely come to you for the next supply. Then you'll cooperate with me, submit the bill, and get it passed as quickly as possible for implementation."

Fan Su's playful smile softened slightly, and he looked me up and down.

After a long moment, she chuckled, "Bai Wuyin, you have a lot on your mind, but I don't know if the leader knows your plan."

"Of course she knows. I'm just following her orders, aren't I?" I spread my hands innocently. "Sowing discord is something I'm very good at."
