The live video went viral on Starnet, and the situation at the banquet was no better. The tens of thousands of soldiers attending the banquet began to talk about it.
When the soldiers of the First Army, who were responsible for maintaining order at the scene, saw Captain David, the son of the Führer, being restrained and unable to move by Colonel Hall, they immediately wanted to step forward to stop him. However, they were stopped by people from the Second and Fourth Armies, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
At this moment, Aiden and Derek rushed out of the lounge together, their nervous expressions mixed with a bit of excitement that was hard to conceal.
The increasingly loud noise alerted Derrick Bridges and Aiden Gladstone in the lounge. They both thought that David had successfully released the parasite, and the noise was caused by those who were parasitized by the parasite, being controlled by the parasite's reproduction and devouring instincts and began to attack others.
Auckland, who had been broadcasting the event live with a camera, noticed them first and immediately cut to a close-up of them, clearly capturing the excitement and hope on their faces.
[What the hell? The Führer and the Generals are still so happy after such a fight?]
[What's going on now?! Is a fight about to start?]
[Watching silently, I have a feeling something big is about to happen...]
【Sit upright and wait for further developments! 】
[Continue to think about it carefully...]
At this time, Derek and Aiden also discovered that the situation at the scene did not seem to be what they thought...
The expected chaotic scene occurred, but it was not bloody at all. Carter Williams, the man they wanted to eliminate, sat perfectly still in the center, unperturbed by his surroundings, sipping his drink and savoring his delicious food, seemingly oblivious to the tense situation. David, meanwhile, stood stiffly in the center, his face pale. Hall Williams pressed his shoulder with a cold gaze, emanating a dangerous aura.
Derek was immediately bewildered. He grabbed Aiden and asked, "What's going on? What should we do now?"
Aiden closed his eyes tightly. The worst case scenario he had anticipated happened. At this moment, his mind was in a mess, but when he opened his eyes, he was strangely calm.
He shook off Derek, strode up to Hall, and demanded in a cold voice, "Colonel Hall, what are you doing? I don't know how Major David offended you, but he is, after all, the son of President Derek. It's inappropriate for you to be so aggressive!"
This casual remark blurred the nature of the matter, making it seem as if there was a conflict between two young people and Hall was aggressive and unwilling to let it go.
But Hall wasn't so easily fooled. He sneered, "Oh? There's an old saying, 'A prince who breaks the law is guilty as a commoner.' I wonder if General Aiden has heard of it? Our Federation isn't a centralized monarchy like the Empire. Even if it were, if Major David broke the law, he would still be held accountable."
"What crime did Major David commit?!" Aiden asked in a timid tone.
"He attempted to release a deadly parasite into the human population," Hall said, holding up the specially made bottle containing the parasite. "The epidemic in the 42nd Star Region wasn't accidental; it was intentional. My father and I seized the bottle that released the parasite. I never imagined Major David would have it on his person."
Aiden's heart began to beat wildly. He could never have imagined that David, a guy who was more likely to cause trouble than to do anything good, would be caught red-handed. But he forced himself to calm down.
"Impossible! What evidence do you have? How do I know if this thing was framed by you?!" Aiden asked angrily.
Hall couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Aiden was still trying to deny it.
What a pity...
Hall raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "General Aiden, let me remind you that this is a live broadcast. Just now, when I noticed something was wrong with Major David, he took the bottle out of his trouser pocket himself. I stopped him just as he was about to unscrew the cap. If you don't believe me, you can log on to StarNet and watch the replay directly."
After a pause, Hall continued, "By the way, when I asked Major David what this was, he said you gave it to him."
The sentence added at the end instantly changed Aiden's expression.
Aiden looked at David in disbelief. This guy had a smart face, but unfortunately, he had a pig brain! He was completely stupid! He didn't know how to throw dirty water on others and actually pinned the blame on him! He and Derek had a common interest. If they pushed the blame on him, would Derek be able to get away with it?! In a moment like this, shouldn't he bite back, or simply shift the blame elsewhere? Maybe pretend he was threatened or held hostage and had no choice but to do it! There are thousands of excuses and pretexts, but this idiot chose the worst one.
Aiden gnashed his teeth in hatred, but his expression remained unmoved. He looked at David with an extremely cold gaze, then said in a cold voice, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I don't know why Major David said that, but I believe he must have been misled or coerced by someone to do such a thing. After his plan failed, he wanted to drag me into it. I think it's very likely that someone from the Empire is behind this, trying to cause internal strife in our Federation so that they can reap the benefits. I also hope that Colonel Hall and General Williams will not be easily taken advantage of."
here we go again.
It’s a pity that Eden didn’t become a politician, he has such a silver tongue!
If... I hadn't been followed by Auckland before, maybe I could have been fooled by him...
Hall didn't waste any more time talking to him and directly replayed the clip he had shown David before. Aiden's expression immediately changed again and again, and finally fixed on ruthlessness.
He looked around at the reporters holding cameras with either solemn or shocked expressions, and felt extremely annoyed that he had added unnecessary steps by bringing these people to the dinner!
But now that things have come to this, he might as well go all out and kill them all! As for the position of leader, it never belonged to him in the first place! Rather than losing everything, he might as well give it a try. He had only made a show of handling the situation on Dark Star. Aside from Arnold's execution, Dark Star had suffered no losses at all. He only needed to leave here, return to Dark Star, and he could still be the free and unfettered leader of the Blood Moon Pirates!
They must be killed! No one should be spared!
Having made up his mind, Aiden pressed a button on the communicator, and the communicator emitted an extremely sharp and piercing sound.
This seemed to be a signal, and people continued to pour in from all directions, pointing weapons at the people in the venue. The atmosphere was so tense that it was about to explode.
These people suddenly appeared and surrounded the venue in three layers. Their number was obviously several times greater than the people present. If there was a flying camera filming from high above, it would definitely be shocked by the shocking scene of such a huge crowd.
The numbers of the various armies were originally similar, but Eden, having taken command of Arnold Percy's Fifth Army, had made thorough preparations. Those infected with the parasite become extremely aggressive. Although they had been vaccinated and protected from the parasite, they could still die from the attacks of the infected. The Second Army was formidable, so Eden had specially arranged for sufficient manpower. It could be said that the First and Fifth Armies were fully deployed today. The Second and Fourth Armies, however, only had the main forces that had participated in the rescue operation. Therefore, Hall and his men were at a significant disadvantage in terms of numbers.
Die all!!!
Aiden yelled, "Protect the Führer! Carter Williams and Lewis Swift are rebelling!!!"
The author has something to say: o(╯□╰)o I drank some porridge with a straw today, and finally I had some strength, but I still felt very hungry... Then when I was drinking water, I accidentally pressed on the wound, and it hurt so much that my toes were numb orz It was too miserable, I never want to have a tooth pulled again~~
If nothing unexpected happens, the next chapter will be finished~ Wait for me to recover and try to update more extra chapters QAQ
【Small Theater on the Road】
Aiden: Führer, to deal with the Williams family, we need to start this way, then this way, and finally this way! Perfect!
Crowd: ∑(O_O；) What a breathtaking operation! We clearly see the ugly faces of the Führer and Eden! This plot is so unexpected but inexplicably exciting. If I don't continue watching, I'd be doing a disservice to the Führer who is performing so hard!
The President: I'm on a livestream? What's going on? Is my position in jeopardy?
Hall: I'll put you on the livestream for free, for promotion and advertising, no need to thank me (＾＿＾)
Lanlan: This reporter hides his achievements and fame (＾＿＾)
Big Tiger: Oh, it's great to have a capable son and a daughter-in-law with cheats. I can easily take down the villain boss without me having to do anything, just shouting 666! (＾＿＾)
