Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Who would kill their lover? ...
I reasonably suspect that if one day Ansa breaks into the Ascending City to kill me, the first thing Ali will do is not to save me, but to take out a hundred dollars from my pocket.
Don't even think about it! I wouldn't even give you a dollar, let alone a hundred! That would cost me my life!
I pretended not to notice Ali's outstretched hand. My eyes were dark, and I fumbled with my hands. I sat down and changed the subject: "Do they have any news for me?"
Ali blinked, pulled her hand back into her pocket, and handed me a crumpled piece of paper. "You actually asked that?" she said.
"...Ali, besides trusting my morals, you can also trust my intelligence."
"oh."
I took the note and found a place to sit down, and Ali squatted down to deal with the body.
The situation was so urgent just now that Ali and I used all our strength. Now the entire entrance was covered in red blood, and some of it even splattered into every nook and cranny.
Fortunately, Ali is a professional at killing, dismembering and destroying bodies, so I don't have to worry too much.
Spreading out the note, I began to read the messages they sent me.
Three messages.
The organization's people have been arranged in the Senate; my identity can be cleared after the Sinroya case; there are good-looking people in the organization, so there is no need to always provoke the Celestial Dragons.
Hmm... the first two are very useful, what is the purpose of the last one?
Is it common knowledge within the organization that I enjoy delicious food? And what does it mean to have good-looking people within the organization? Is this what they call keeping the wealth within their family?
I subconsciously glanced at Ali who was skillfully dismembering a body next to me.
The appearance of alpha females is actually very good. Although they are dull, they have a variety of skills and are indeed good helpers.
But being a lover... um, no, I don't accept a female lover of the second gender.
I shuddered and immediately looked away, continuing to ponder the words on the note.
After thinking carefully for a while, my brows furrowed. "Why pass the note alone? Can't you just dictate it to me?"
Ali slashed the body apart with her knife, blood spraying half her face. Without even looking up, she replied, "They said they were worried I wouldn't be able to express myself clearly, or that I wouldn't remember."
"...Ali, since you're a librarian, can you please read more books in the future?"
"I'm busy." Ali replied, "I have a mission tonight."
I understand. She's just a hard-working ox. I forgive Ali for asking for a hundred yuan all the time.
I stopped slacking off with Ali and instead lowered my head to read the first message.
Are there any organized people in the Senate? When? Where are they located? Do they have much power?
To enter the Senate, you also need to raise your hands to vote. I've read the official documents that showed how Corrialan defeated his opponent to enter the Senate, and I learned that he had evidence of corruption, bribery, and illegal vote-buying by his rival.
Does that mean I have a competitor?
This should be read in conjunction with the second piece of information.
The fact that I came from the slums had become a disadvantage for me. Even Carter, a beggar with a local household registration, had encountered obstacles, let alone me, a low-level bastard from the slums.
They want someone in the Senate to clear my identity?
The Slums, Uptown, the Senate...
I chewed on a few words over and over again, trying to squeeze out the real message they wanted to convey to me through my teeth.
I suddenly opened my eyes and turned to look at Ali, "Ali, do the people in Ascending City know about the existence of No Man's Land?"
Ali raised her head, a thoughtful look on her face. "I don't know."
It’s no use asking Ali, I have to figure it out myself.
My breathing started to quicken and I stood up and paced back and forth in the living room.
I realized I'd once again fallen into the trap of inertial thinking. I really thought the people of Upward City could manipulate public opinion at will! Damn it, I finally remembered there's a White Light Bay above Upward City!
The one who truly holds power is Baideng Bay, and Shangxing City is just a pawn in the manipulation of power!
I have been in Upward City for nearly a month, and have hardly seen any reports about the no-man's land in major media.
There are alphas and omegas everywhere here. Logically, they must know about the white mineral that is closely related to the glands and make adequate precautions.
But when I recalled and thought about it carefully, I found that the situation was completely different!
I still remember the news I saw the night Olvera asked me to elope.
The malicious release of the trigger triggered a major riot, causing a shortage of beds in nearby hospitals. Some people even died on the spot due to their serious injuries, including several wealthy people who were passing by.
It’s okay for ordinary people, but why don’t the rich have any countermeasures at all?
I opened my communicator and searched major media outlets for news about inducers, and discovered that this news has only been published in the past seven years.
Another seven years passed, the period of riots in the no-man's land.
I stopped and stood in front of the table.
There is only one possibility.
The people of Shangxing City thought that the ore in the no-man's land was ordinary ore.
So what about Levin who was able to recognize the box containing the white ore?
Ali had already dismembered the body and took out a huge black bag to put the body parts into.
My suspicion started again.
My fingers started to itch as I stared at Ali's back as she began to wipe the blood.
Could the riot in the no-man's land seven years ago have been done by an organization?
My legs were shaking, my fingers were twitching, my back teeth were sore, and all the injured parts of my body started to itch.
I know I'm anxious now, the way I get when I'm bombarded with information and can't grasp the root of it all. I need to think carefully about what they want from me, what message they're trying to convey, what No Man's Land and White Light Bay are up to.
I sat back on the stool.
After a long time, Ali had cleaned up the blood and was ready to leave, I said to Ali in a hoarse voice: "Ally, do you have a way to get to Scott Manor?"
Ali turned her head, "What do you want to do?"
I didn't answer immediately. Instead, I took out the dagger from Ali's pocket, reached into the body bag and stirred it around, then handed the dagger to Ali after it was covered in blood.
"Ali, give the dagger to Olvera and tell him it's from me."
Ali took the dagger without asking any questions.
She was like this all the time, so she decided to do it for me without asking any questions.
"What if he asks questions?" Ali asked.
I smiled faintly, "Don't say anything, just give him the dagger."
"Oh." Ali put the body bag on her shoulder and was about to jump out the window to leave when she suddenly turned around and said to me, "Dagger, 30,000."
"...ask the organization for reimbursement."
"oh."
"You can quietly reimburse your hundred dollars." I gave her bad advice.
Ali frowned in disapproval, "You can't do that. You'll get scolded."
I choked and rolled my eyes at her.
After Ali left, I started checking if there were any places that Ali had not cleaned properly.
After confirming that there was no problem, I washed up and climbed back into bed to stare at the ceiling in a daze.
As we all know, power and money are only transmitted through mother and child and sex.
I don't have a mother who is president, so I can only find a lover who can make me president.
If one lover is not enough, then find a few more. Quantitative change will lead to qualitative change, and it will always be useful.
I'm now sure that Olvera loves me... Although it's a bit disgusting to say this, I have to admit it.
So does he love me madly? I'm not sure, so I have to give it a try.
What if he really loves me that much?
In fact, even if I don't love him, I can still make him do what I want. But I won't feel so guilty.
If he loves me, will I feel guilty?
Yes, a little bit.
I couldn't help but feel the pity and sadness of the cat crying over the mouse.
Poor thing, Olvera.
My family fell into poverty, I was tricked into marriage by an omega, and I cheated me of my feelings and body. In the future, I might even cheat me of my life.
Poor you, Olvera.
But it doesn't matter.
I will send Levin to hell with you. When you meet Satan, you will tell everyone about Levin's marriage fraud and let Levin suffer with you.
And I will remember you in the Ascendant.
Thinking of this, I laughed to myself.
I'm such a cult follower. I say I don't believe in that bullshit God, but my thoughts and ideas are always subconsciously about this. I can't even imagine how many mouths I'll have to face in hell to collect debts.
Forget it, let’s go to sleep.
I've been overworking my brain today, so I need to get a good rest. I'll continue thinking about Senate matters tomorrow.
——
As soon as Cassina left the ward, she saw her teacher.
"teacher."
Fan Su walked over with a bright smile, "Why are you so sad? Aren't they living well?"
Katsuna's expression was expressionless, but her eyes revealed helplessness. "It wasn't them. It was a message from my mother. She said that Noka should get engaged soon since he's old enough. But I don't think the person my mother chose is very good."
"Tell me about it?" Fan Su became a little interested.
Two women in military uniforms walked side by side in the hospital corridor, and people around them consciously gave way.
"One I've already told you about. He's an alpha ten years Noka's senior. He's a councillor and comes from a good family."
Fan Su nodded and jokingly said, "Although he is indeed a bit older, he is a 28-year-old councillor, which is quite good, isn't it?"
"Teacher." Casena was helpless. "The generation gap is too big. Noka doesn't like it."
"Okay, okay, you name the next one."
Cassina said, "The other one is particularly bad. He comes from the slums and is a beta. He's currently just a court records intern and is involved in a criminal case."
After she finished speaking, she rubbed her solar plexus with a headache. "I don't understand. Forget about the former, why would my mother choose a beta who has nothing as an engagement candidate?"
"Noka has been pampered since he was a child. How can he adapt to a life of poverty? In the end, he will only end up like the eldest son of the Hori family."
Cassina thought she could get the teacher's support, but she saw Fansu looking thoughtful.
The two stopped in a very private corner of the hospital.
"Sena, I think the best person to be engaged to is that beta." Fan Su said.
"Teacher!" Cassina was surprised and said anxiously: "But..."
"Don't worry, Sena." Fan Su comforted her, "They are from the organization."
Cassina shut her mouth immediately.
Her face was pale as she moved the corner of her mouth and stared at Fan Su blankly, "Did the organization let that beta deliberately approach Noka?"
"Of course not," Fan Su shrugged. "I'm sure it was an accident. But she's smart enough to deliver the boxes when I go to the slums to get them."
"She's got a powerful tongue." Fan Su actually gave a thumbs-up with pride, "She's worthy of being my close friend regardless of age."
Cassina didn't say anything, but the corners of her mouth twitched.
Seeing the student's frustrated look, Fan Su put aside his joking thoughts and said to Casena seriously, "Sena, you know what we are going to do, right?"
"Yes." Cassina said without hesitation.
"Then you should know what will happen to your mother in the end." Fan Su's face was serious. "She and we have different sides. There is no possibility of reconciliation. You also know very well that she will not switch sides."
"I know..." Kasena's voice was hoarse. "I've been prepared for this since I joined the organization. But Noka is innocent. He's just a child who has just come of age. He shouldn't be involved."
"Are you sure he is innocent?" Fan Su asked back, "Casena, in fact, even you are not innocent."
"As early as when you realized that you were born into flesh and blood, you knew you were not innocent." Fansu pressed his hands heavily on Cassina's shoulders.
"The vast majority of people in Upward City and White Light Bay are not innocent."
"If they are innocent, then what about the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the slums? What about the hundreds of thousands of people who were crushed to death by ore after the establishment of the no-man's land? What about the millions of people in the Keya region who were tricked into selling their organs and blood?"
"Senna, Noka is not innocent at all. He's just unconscious."
Cassina: ...
After a long silence, Cassina opened her mouth and said, "I understand, teacher."
Fan Su suddenly put on his smile again and playfully put his arm around Kasena's shoulders. "This also saves Noka's life, doesn't it? Then is Wei Beta going to kill the person next to the pillow?"
"Even lovers would show mercy, let alone an engaged fiancé?"
"...I hope so." This was the only way Cassina could comfort herself.
