Chapter 1344: Lancelot O'mir
"General O'mir, it's actually you!"
Secretary Bella stared up at O'mir in the sky, her eyes wide with shock.
Bella was very familiar with O'mir and knew about his recent activities.
Not long after the fall of the Hymn, about two years ago, the Feg Guard began to see a surge in internal corruption.
While the Guard publicly claimed to protect the people, in secret, many corrupt officers engaged in looting and all kinds of atrocities.
This internal corruption became increasingly rampant, evolving into a chronic problem that couldn't be eradicated.
Even Su Yu had experienced it firsthand.
On his first visit to the Feg Hub, he was robbed by five officers from the Feg Guard.
If it weren't for the support of the Hymn and the soul of Dalak, he would have been successfully robbed by those men.
Behind the systematic corruption of the Feg Guard was a mastermind, and that mastermind, the most deeply corrupt, was O'mir.
O'mir had personally carried out multiple robberies, amassing over a hundred billion psychic coins and various treasures. Of course, those who were robbed might not have known who the culprit was.
O'mir was also the protector of the corrupt officers, helping many avoid punishment and collecting protection fees in the process.
For instance, the five officers who robbed Su Yu were part of his network and had to pay him a share after each robbery.
If Su Yu had captured them alive and turned them over to the Guard instead of killing them on the spot, they would have received only a mild reprimand under O'mir's protection, and the matter would have been dropped.
Bella, the secretary, knew all about O'mir's deeds, as did Minister Travelman. This was one of the Security Department's thorns in the side.
But despite knowing about O'mir's misdeeds and having substantial evidence, the Security Department couldn't do much.
O'mir was a confidant of Dalak, the Legion Commander, and a formidable fifth-stage Planetary Superhuman.
While Travelman Greed was also a confidant of Dalak and a fifth-stage Planetary Superhuman, he wouldn't risk creating tension within the Legion's ranks over such "minor" issues.
O'mir's actions severely violated the Hub's laws, effectively slapping the Security Department in the face.
However, legislators, especially those above the fifth stage, had significant immunity from prosecution.
If Travelman pursued O'mir over this, it would create internal strife within the Legion's ranks.
Thus, the Security Department had no choice but to turn a blind eye, allowing O'mir and his cronies to run rampant.
In previous cases, Travelman had never delved deeply into O'mir's and his followers' misdeeds, trying to suppress any investigations and avoid formal charges whenever possible.
But who would have thought that O'mir would appear here, and in broad daylight, launch an attack on Su Yu!
For a moment, the entire square was as silent as a grave.
Not a single person dared to make a sound, only the fluttering of the giant "moth's" wings broke the silence.
O'mir was also extremely shocked, with only one thought in his mind: "By the Hymn, I've been betrayed!"
He immediately realized that a traitor had sold him out, and this traitor was one of his closest subordinates.
"Savannah, Glance, Zade... I know now, it's Zade! His intel was fake, and he lured me here on purpose!
It's over! This time, I've really been had!"
