“The Frankberg People’s Liberation Front announced its support for the exiled government led by former Deputy Prime Minister Evelyn. The leader of the rebel militants, Franz, claimed that 10,000 people have joined their ranks and they will be armed to protest against New Choice Party’s decision for EU integration and the blatant disregard for the interests of the people.”
“Evelyn told the media in exile that the tragedy in the 7th Institute wasn’t an accident. With Peter’s involvement, the country is rotting from the inside. The New Choice Party isn’t the people’s government but a puppet government controlled by corporations. Everyone should stand up and fight against this tyrant…”
Leaning on the sofa, Jiang Chen enjoyed Ayesha’s gentle massage while watching CNN’s report. When he saw the chaotic scene that had erupted at the 7th Institute, he couldn’t stop smiling.
The conceitedness associated with power and fanaticism for the Golden Apple would bring him and his empire into the grave sooner or later. Of course, without the work of Celestial Trade and Russia behind the scenes, the rebel militants wouldn’t have made such great progress.
So far, everything was going as planned.
The scandal might force Peter to step down, but it wouldn’t hurt Carmen Rothschild at all. Before the first shot, Ghost Agents had already investigated that Bava Pharmaceuticals, the parent company of the 7th Research Institute, had no direct equity relationship with the Rothschild Bank, but it was controlled by an overseas shell company. The legal representative had lived abroad for many years and the police couldn’t even find a person, let alone pursue legal actions.
Without any further incidents, after Carmen took this slap to the face, his next step would be to revise the Public Gathering Bill and the Anti-Terrorism Act. This would provide assistance to his own forces to remove the militants from the territory. However, New Choice Party’s support rate, already losing popularity, would fall to the bottom. This would push the already fierce conflicts in the country to a new peak.
“According to the agreement, the militants handed over the captives of the Arrow to us. Our people used Truth-Telling Serum and obtained the location of Arrow’s training base on the Finnish border. We then provided the information to an informant of the Russian Security according to your instructions.”
“Very good. Then it’s up to Russia’s decision.” Jiang Chen grinned.
The pictures on TV were showing the police using tear gas to clear the area. Western reporters seemed to have a soft spot for reporting this scandal. Perhaps a reporter might’ve been hit on the head by a stick, but the TV even showed a few close-ups of the faces of the Frankberg police.
Now the world was waiting for Frankberg to make a decision. But in an interview, Peter, who won the election with his tough and extremely right image, was acting like a disgruntled clown. Other than defaming and denying the rebel’s statement and the opposition’s voice from the country, he couldn’t think of any practical way to put an end to the chaos.
“What about us?” Ayesha asked.
“Us? We don’t have to do anything,” Jiang Chen said.
“Nothing at all?” Ayesha seemed to be confused.
“Nothing needs to be done. Our ghosts only need to hide in the dark, wait for an opportunity to appear, and deal the enemy a fatal blow. Now it’s Russia’s turn to play the game; let them attract firepower first… Of course, we aren’t out of this mess yet. Our two orbital airborne brigades will create a big victory on the Eastern Front and light a fire under their as*.”
Looking at his confident expression, Ayesha smiled and leaned down to kiss his ear. “Go eat now—breakfast is ready, and it will get cold if you don’t eat.”
“Mhmm, I’ll go now.”
Feeling the warmth on his ear, Jiang Chen smiled and kissed her on the cheek. He lifted the remote, turned off the TV, and walked to the kitchen with Ayesha with his hand around her waist.
