A short, startled cry.
Under the horrified gaze of countless live-stream viewers, Mo Chen lost his balance on the narrow stone beam and plummeted straight down into the raging torrent below.
Almost simultaneously, a deviated beam of energy struck the spot where he had just been standing, blasting the rock to pieces.
And the sharp claws of a golden leopard narrowly grazed the hem of his clothes as he fell.
Mo Chen's head flashed across the murky river water, instantly swept away by the surging waves and disappeared without a trace.
In short, after all these actions, Mo Chen is as good as dead.
"Amo!!!"
Zi Xi let out a heart-wrenching scream and desperately tried to rush to the riverbank, but was firmly stopped by the security robot from the production crew that arrived just in time.
The live stream footage shook violently, filled with Zi Xi's desperate screams and the exclamations of security personnel.
The entire interstellar network fell into a brief silence at that moment.
I didn't feel much when I saw Amo floating in the water before, but now that we've spent so many days together, I've developed feelings for him.
【Holy crap!!! Did she really fall and get swept away?!】
[The river is flowing so fast! And there are energy weapons and star beasts! We're doomed...]
What was the production team doing?! Wasn't it supposed to be a no-fight-with-weapons situation? Why was there an attack from the other side?!
Was it an accident? Or...?
Sister Chu was crying so hard; they had such a good relationship.
I can't believe it, it was almost over...
The secret room of the Chu family manor.
Chu Suya stared intently at the chaotic scene on the screen and the official emergency search and rescue message.
After a brief moment of shock, her heart pounded wildly in her chest, an almost manic joy overflowing within her.
We did it! We finally did it!
Although the process seemed somewhat unexpected, the result was beyond doubt.
The man who most resembled the leader's son fell into a raging river that could sweep away even heavy mechs, and also encountered attacks from energy weapons and attacks from star beasts.
There is absolutely no chance of survival.
Most importantly, Chu Zixi is about to be isolated and helpless, and no one will protect her anymore!
"Hahaha... Hahahaha!"
Chu Suya couldn't help but burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the secret room, filled with the release of long-suppressed emotions and twisted pleasure.
"See? The person we suspected most was dead. There are only a few left. The plan succeeded!"
She eagerly connected to the encrypted communication with the Rex family, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
"We've seen it too, Miss Chu, you did a fantastic job!"
"The Führer is old, and now his only son has died. His pillar of support has collapsed. This is our best opportunity!"
On the other end of the communication, the Rex family representative was also filled with barely suppressed excitement.
"Start the operation immediately!"
"We must proceed with the impeachment and coup plan as originally intended, and give him no chance to breathe!"
Chu Suya's tone was resolute.
"Don't worry, our troops and parliament are all ready, just waiting for this final opportunity!"
After ending the call, Chu Suya walked to the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass of the most expensive ancient beverage.
She swirled her wine glass, gazing at the blood-like, viscous liquid inside, a victor's smile spreading across her face.
"Chu Zixi, just stay there and weep for your fallen comrades."
"And I will climb to the pinnacle of power over your corpses! In this life, we are worlds apart!"
She raised her glass towards the virtual Zi Xi, her tone contemptuous and malicious.
Undercurrents are surging in the capital city.
In the following days, the interstellar situation changed at an astonishing pace.
First, media outlets in some peripheral star systems began to timely disclose internal information about the leader's advanced age, declining health, and unstable mental state, implying that he was no longer capable of leading the interstellar realm.
