Chapter 150 A Man Inevitably to Die
The impromptu meeting, amidst the devastation of explosions and shifting tides, illuminates a rotting hell in the shadows, leaving one wondering how to steer the situation elsewhere.
The New York officials made a decision quickly—in less than ten minutes, damn it, if this dragged on any longer, Los Angeles would become a dead city. They had a brilliant plan: to cultivate a new toy. That operative with cognitive modification skills would be perfect. If he really… there were no ifs. He had to kill Joseph, or they would inflict the most severe torture on that bastard. The transfer procedures could be applied for from Dongxia, as long as the person in charge agreed.
They then launched a series of plans, no longer caring how the comments on the forum evolved. The only thing they could think of right now was to see Joseph killed with their own eyes. Once he was dead, all the commotion would be over—terrorist attacks and other excuses were plentiful, and the citizens weren't smart enough to investigate further.
This decision, filled with smug satisfaction and a sense of luck, was quickly approved by higher-ups. If necessary, they would do everything in their power to bring out the A-level, but that would be too costly, so it was best to avoid that.
Sheen knew what these people were thinking.
Although she had never been involved before because of insufficient authority—ordinary operatives would never know the true nature of the council or what it would be like if things went downhill—she could imagine the dark schemes spreading within.
During the meeting, a powerful figure bluntly stated that they could actually kill He Yu as well. They wouldn't even have time to meet Joseph; who knew if they'd survived the missile attack, even though their vital signs were perfectly normal. But what if these two suddenly decided to join forces and tear America apart? They shouldn't wait a second longer; they should just issue orders for the A-class to take action.
Ultimately, the meeting ended hastily. They will certainly suffer losses, but there will be plenty of opportunities to make up for them later—as long as that madman dies, the flood will not be overwhelming.
“We must let these people know,” someone suddenly said. “They are the ruled, and no matter how much they struggle, it’s useless.”
The tone was so flippant and languid that it made Sheen want to vomit.
She didn't know what happened after the meeting ended; the live feed had completely stopped.
But she could guess that the rebellion would not be handled that way.
—The order from the Americas headquarters was to cancel all reinforcements, but all branches must be prepared for an even greater disaster.
She couldn't bear to think about whether the person in charge of issuing this notice had a large intestine or something in their head, as it was something a normal person wouldn't say.
After that, Sheen opened the communication and asked Gore in front of Lu Jin.
"Are you sure you can control the situation?" She paused, probably taking another pill, and then continued, "Those people... won't change their minds easily."
"Don't worry about it." The other person was obviously drunk, his voice was light and airy, and he replied with a smile, "For those in charge, the process doesn't matter at all, as long as the result is favorable."
While he was talking, he vomited several times while holding the toilet, then washed his face and regained some clarity.
After cleaning up, Gore returned to the bathroom and lay on the floor, thinking about the scene at the meeting. The group of people, all dressed in elegant formal attire, were lounging on sofas so expensive they could buy an entire EDS taboo item, talking to each other while gracefully raising their wine glasses for a sip.
These kinds of people like to put on an act so that others will think they are in control and can always get whatever they want, whether it's a woman or something else.
At this moment, he has linked the projector to the virtual meeting and has a private seat.
When Gore regained his authority as a parliamentary juror, he heard some speculations about himself within the Eoubs circle—like those idle operatives, there were too many people in the Americas who had endless ideas about the ins and outs of the high-level parliament. After all, in the current world, the thoughts of a top-level noble were enough to stir up a bloodbath, which naturally included the whereabouts of many consumables.
He had been there long enough and realized that within this hierarchy of power, someone would always be pushed out to inherit everything they shouldn't have to bear—you rise, you are bound to fall, it's just a matter of time.
"You've all been waiting a long time. That missile show was absolutely spectacular; I watched it dozens of times and still couldn't get enough." Gore's opening remarks were so enigmatic that it was impossible to continue. "But it doesn't matter; you'll always find a way to handle it."
“If Joseph can’t control himself, just find someone who should be executed and pretend he’s an extreme terrorist,” he continued. “Who wouldn’t like to put on a show for those idiots?”
Suddenly, Sheen noticed that the previously closed channel had reopened. She took over the access, and Lu Jin was asking if she wanted a bottle of wine. Before she could answer, she took the access without even turning her head.
There was a loophole in the parliamentary surveillance program; the person in charge forgot to shield it, and she could clearly see the conversations between Gore and them.
At this moment, the group was in a virtual salon. After listening to that speech, someone replied, "So this is what you've been pursuing all along? Please... you need to understand that this world ultimately doesn't belong to any one party; we are just—"
“Of course I understand,” Gore said.
The other person shook their head and smiled.
He didn't seem angry. Sheen stared blankly at the entire virtual screen, thinking that it was not a helpless acceptance, but a chilling coldness that seeped into his bones.
