Chapter 826: 423 Everything Is Ready

"Of course I know what I'm talking about."

Facing Princess Veronica's questioning, Li Ang blinked and continued:

"And I haven't finished my words yet. Besides the officer selection order, didn't you prepare to push the proposal to expand the voting power of citizens at the parliament the day after tomorrow?"

"This proposal, besides being able to divide the right to speak of merchants and avoid them continuing to fight for excessive interests from the royal family and nobles, also practically expanded the power of the parliament and gave more groups the opportunity to speak."

"I have read the newspapers. The policies you have pushed in the past few years have vigorously supported the energy industry, reduced taxes for small handicraft workers, provided subsidies for farmers, and recently stipulated the minimum hourly wage for factories. So big businessmen don't support you much, but other groups may not necessarily be so."

"I don't know how you see it, but I think that once the bill to expand voting rights is passed, the new parliament that is no longer completely controlled by merchants will likely welcome a new Queen who has been helping them fight for interests."

"..."

This... can it actually be seen this way?

Looking at the Princess whose red lips were slightly open and whose expression was full of shock, Li Ang said meaningfully:

"Hehe, I know what you are thinking, nothing more than feeling that you can avoid fighting her head-on and use some hidden means to deal with her."

"But don't forget, the Virgo branch stores the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 numbered 004. It can almost kill all humans in one breath. Its importance is second only to the 【Watchtower】 and the 【Star Dome Compass】. It is almost the most dangerous thing in the Bureau."

"So have you ever thought about why such a deadly thing is not kept in the General Bureau but is placed in the Virgo branch?"

"?!"

Amidst the female reporter's sudden shock, the Aquarius Director restrained the smile on his face and said seriously:

"That's because all the directors, including me, who made this decision at the time, unanimously agreed that this thing is even safer in Olivia's hands than in the General Bureau!"

"..."

"Nicole, although her nickname is Blood-Haired Girl, she doesn't only have the 【Slaughtering Blood Hairs】 anomalous object."

The Aquarius Director sat cross-legged, gazing at the sun leaping out of the horizon in the distance, and said with some nostalgia:

"The Taurus Director has a very compatible temperament with her and treats her like his own daughter, so he has prepared many good things for her."

"In addition, in order to guard the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 well, the Taurus Director put in a lot of effort, and even asked me to help him forge a whole set of protective anomalous objects for her."

"Flesh stabilization, soul recovery, cognitive enhancement, memory clearing, mental reset, danger warning... almost everything you can think of is inside. At the very least, I can't think of any means that can bypass those things to knock her down."

"And once she detects danger or suffers some kind of damage, these anomalous objects will immediately activate, eliminating all states identified as 'anomalous'..."

"Hmm... thinking about it carefully, I can be considered to have lifted a rock only to drop it on my own feet. If I had known there would be today, I should have secretly left a backup plan."

"..."

Amidst the female reporter's expression of not knowing how to complain, the slightly annoyed Aquarius Director concluded:

"In short, although Olivia is not the strongest cleanup personnel, she is definitely the cleanup personnel with the fewest weaknesses."

"Even if twenty True Gods descended in one breath, they could only face the deadly 【Slaughtering Blood Hairs】 and fight her hard while risking being torn apart at any time, until she is completely exhausted."

"But the trouble is, during the long period of attrition, once the rotating director discovers something is wrong and judges that the 【Twelve Ant Nests】 are in danger, at most within half an hour, a quarter of the sun will fall directly on your head. Even if I were full and had nothing to do, I wouldn't sneak attack her."

"After all, a guy like her with a full shell is the kind of opponent I am least good at dealing with. Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you steal her wallet."

"..."

"Back during the Laien Blood Night, many key members of the Laien family died, and the Bao Hua branch is left with only that Miss Ai Ma; the current twin pillars of the kingdom no longer hold their former status."

"Hehe, don't ask about the wallet. I won't tell you."

Before the female reporter could speak, he blocked her question, and the Aquarius Director smiled:

"Although I believe you won't betray me and hand me over to the Cleanup Bureau, you are indeed a soft-hearted good person. I still have to guard against it to some extent. If you knew my plan and secretly leaked it, making the Blood-Haired Girl prepared, then I would be in trouble."

"..."

"By the way, since we've talked about this today, I'll say one last thing."

Looking at the female reporter whose expression was a bit depressed but also vaguely relaxed, the Aquarius Director, with his young face, said kindly:

"Nicole, regarding this plan, I actually don't have complete certainty that it will succeed."

"So remember, if I fail in the end and don't manage to replace the Taurus Director to sit on the throne, but am finished off by the Blood-Haired Girl or that Li Ang, you must not think about taking revenge for me. Just live well."

"..."

Hearing the Aquarius Director's last words, the female reporter couldn't help but look up and meet his eyes. When she saw the Aquarius Director's kind gaze, a hint of sourness welled up in her heart.

Although the Director is not a good person, if it weren't for him, she would only have rotted away on the dark privateer ship, and would not have had the opportunity to take revenge on those pirates and personally avenge her murdered parents.

And since she was seven, she had been taken by his side. Even reading and writing were taught by him in his spare time. After she grew up a little, she participated in countless missions with him, and like saving her, he had protected countless people.

Over the years, although she still called him Director, in her heart, he had long replaced her parents, whose faces she couldn't quite remember, and became her family without blood ties. That was why she knew he was wrong, but could never bring herself to be ruthless...

"Understood."

After responding vaguely, the female reporter turned her head slightly and said with a stiff face:

"Director, although your face has become younger, you are still as old as before, rambling so much... Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to the Dream Realm."

"Nothing else, go in peace!"
