Joanna was not worried about the situation on her brother's side at all. After all, the ministers who were promoted at the beginning were all from prominent families and had a lot of say. In order to consolidate their position, they would restrain Leta I at all costs.
In addition, Ye Lan also sent people to provide close protection. Qing Teng is good at pharmacology and also helped Leta I to regulate his body.
Seeing her brother jumping around in the bedroom full of energy, she felt at ease and boldly handled other things.
"But the killer's matter is a bit difficult to handle." Joanna picked out one of the documents and handed it to Ye Lan beside her. "I think Miss Ye should know something about it."
Um?
Ye Lan glanced sideways slightly, a little confused.
She only sent people there after the killer incident happened. By then, the killer had already been caught and detained, so she was not aware of the specific situation.
She took the document and glanced at it briefly, her eyes suddenly stopping on a sensitive word.
"Hunter Zone."
Seeing a familiar area in a foreign language, Ye Lan was surprised and also remembered the mountain villa in the Hunter game, those mass-produced mind users and Xiao Yunting's biological mother.
She always felt that there was some connection between the Hunter District and the Mind-Bearers.
She didn't believe that the Ideological School could have used a game to hide in the Hunter black market for so many years without the connivance of those in power.
But the last time the elders contacted the person in charge of the Hunter District, the other party was indeed completely unaware of the situation.
In addition, the School of Thought seemed to be particularly concerned about the Xiao family, or rather, they were particularly concerned about Xiao Yunting...
There is a clue hidden in this. If you can figure it out, many problems can be solved.
But now Ye Lan still has no clue.
"I've heard of this organization. It's from your country, China. It's very powerful. If it stands against us, it would be very bad." Joanna stopped at that hint.
Ye Lan did not refuse and accepted the document, saying, "Don't worry, leave your brother's safety to us."
So Joanna nodded and asked her secretary to reject all the invitations, claiming that she was ill and not in a position to see anyone.
By the tenth day, Chinatown and the Dodge family had joined forces to devour all of Berlant's territory. Berlant was at his wit's end and came up with a surprising plan.
"Brant actually wrote letters to threaten those nobles to stand up for them. The reason he used was that those small pills were poisonous and they were the only ones who had the antidote." Old Dodge laughed so hard that his stomach hurt on the phone. Every word seemed to mock Berlant's stupidity.
Ye Lan was not surprised at all.
After all, Francis and Berlant are just partners, and both of them are suspicious by nature and not good people, so it is normal for them to be reserved with each other.
Francis has gone crazy, and Joanna has not appeared for a long time. It is understandable that Berlant unilaterally thinks that there is something wrong with the pill.
This is the moment she has been waiting for.
After hanging up the phone, she asked Joanna to issue a video statement.
In the video, Joanna admitted that she had been working hard for many years and that her illness had nothing to do with other factors. She asked the nobles to relax and not panic.
On the surface, this action seemed to be a solidarity with the other nobles who had taken the pill, but in reality it was a stab in the back for Bertrand.
After seeing the video, the nobles who were originally prepared to take action out of desperation turned their attention to Berlant, exposing how he had manipulated the church to sell drugs and spread nonsense theology for many years, and brought him to court.
When it came to the church and theology, things got out of hand.
Several great nobles who believed in theology and the Holy See intervened in the matter, hoping to suppress it by relying on their power. However, the royal family suddenly took action and jointly suppressed theology.
On the first day of the trial, the original one presiding judge was replaced by three, and even the number of jurors doubled.
On the surface, it was a case of a small noble man manipulating the church to make huge profits, but in reality it was a multi-party contest between the royal family, the Vatican, and theology.
Berlant is just a fuse.
Joanna even informed the royal ministers in advance and broadcast the entire trial live on the grounds of stabilizing public sentiment.
The fresh approach attracted the attention of the entire Texas population, and when the defense attorney presented the aftereffects of Miyata's drug-taking practice at Seer Rose University, the entire audience was shocked.
This fig leaf was finally lifted in front of the people of the whole country.
The practice of the mind-taker was so despicable, yet it was given the title of theology, which immediately aroused public outrage.
Protest marches were organized in many regions, and some even went on hunger strike in front of the Vatican, demanding that the Vatican withdraw from the trial to make its position clear and separate ideological schools from theology.
In the end, the Holy See withdrew under pressure, and the remaining major families did not dare to show up at all. The lawsuit ended with Berlant losing the case without any suspense.
Department of Medicine, Sayre Rose University.
In the exquisitely decorated private ward, the head of the Berlant family could be heard shouting at the top of his lungs on TV, "I'm innocent! The Dodge family kidnapped me, imprisoned me, and tortured me. I still have many scars on my body. Look! Judge, you can't be so careless! Kate, Kenny, March... say something! Weren't you the one who asked me to join the theology school, saying I could do anything?!"
The sound was quickly muffled and disappeared into the background sound along with the rattling of handcuffs and shackles.
Joanna personally leaned over and poured a cup of Earl Grey tea for the girl opposite her. She smiled and praised, "A single spark can start a prairie fire. That's a brilliant move of yours."
Who would have thought that the person behind all this was an eighteen-year-old girl.
Ye Lan didn't try to climb up the ladder and act young. He just nodded slightly and thanked the other party for the black tea. He took a sip and said, "It's just a small fight. It hasn't touched their foundation yet."
Joanna always admired her most for her calm demeanor, so she smiled faintly and replied, "Soon. If Texas is their base, as you say, then the mastermind behind the overthrow of the School of Thought will be uneasy."
The situation is now deteriorating. If they want to save the school of thought, they must take action.
As expected, three days after the trial ended, Ye Lan received an invitation to a duel.
The person who delivered the letter was a butler in a tuxedo. He had a hint of nobility between his eyebrows and eyes, and was polite and distant. "Miss Ye, our March family hopes to have a debate with you on Eastern and Western metaphysics. Please reply as soon as possible."
The envelope handed over had an intricate family crest and half of the royal horse mask on it.
This is an honor only given to a family that has achieved supreme glory.
Joanna, who had rushed over after hearing the news, became instantly gloomy when she heard about the family that had issued the challenge.
"Very good, even the March family is involved. It seems that the entire Texas nobility has fallen."
After her explanation, Ye Lan realized that the March family's achievements were even more outstanding than the Kate family, and they were members of the previous royal family of ancient Europe.
In terms of influence and deterrence, he is comparable to Leta I today.
"Ms. Ye, I don't recommend you accept this battle, because if something unexpected happens, even I won't be able to intervene."
