Chapter 392: Support, Frame-up, and Power Grab
Chapter 392: Support, Frame-up, and Power Grab
"You're a madman, just a madman." The Grand Chancellor looked at the report presented by Huang Yue, his expression filled with indescribable horror.
He had thought that Huang Yue was merely a scapegoat, but never imagined that one day he would turn against them.
The report contained only brief statements and a series of numbers, but those were genuine lives lost.
Ever since Huang Yue had connected with Umbrella Corporation, he had transformed from an ordinary researcher into the 'Fourth Chancellor' of the Senate, lacking only the official title.
"Grand Chancellor, wasn't this your order?" Huang Yue looked gentle and refined, completely unlike a butcher who had exterminated numerous supernaturals.
"Though they have sinned, they are still citizens of the Federation. Why must you involve others? Punish only the ringleaders!" The Grand Chancellor glared at Huang Yue, his expression filled with malice.
In his heart, he also felt some regret. He had thought that by using Umbrella Corporation to eliminate the martial artists and mystic spirits, he could reclaim his power.
But he never expected someone to come out and snatch the fruit of his labor.
In his original plan, he only needed to kill the top forces of the Secret Martial Schools and Mystic Spirit Organizations to instill fear, then reorganize the secondary supernaturals into a violent agency, and use its legitimacy to gradually erode Umbrella Corporation, ultimately bringing it under his control.
This way, he would hold the highest power, and the next step would naturally be to reverse the feudal system, concentrating all power back into his hands.
As for using the martial artists and mystic spirits to pay off debts, he knew about it but didn't take it seriously. Once he had control of Umbrella Corporation, wouldn't it all be his anyway?
However, the result was that Huang Yue had acted on his own, now wielding the highest military power, including biological weapons and new military equipment, and even forming a cooperation agreement with Umbrella Corporation.
All the advantages he had planned were now gone, and his own position became even more precarious.
"Ordinary people who died directly or indirectly because of them would not think so." Huang Yue sneered, fully aware of the true nature of the Senate. He had known this since his mentor and others were used as scapegoats.
He never took the words of these politicians seriously. For him, trusting Umbrella Corporation was better than trusting these people, as they were actually putting their plans into action, unlike these Chancellors who made him the scapegoat while taking all the credit.
Moreover, there were many in the Senate who had colluded with the Secret Martial Schools and Mystic Spirit Organizations. They had been dealt with early due to their power and good concealment, otherwise, this wave would have resulted in the execution of many more people.
Even these three Chancellors might not have been spared.
"Now, you are dismissed. You are being detained for dereliction of duty, intentional murder, and disregard for human rights. Bring him in," the Grand Chancellor said with a dark expression, but his voice was not weak.
Although he was at a disadvantage, the solution was simple: eliminate the young man who had stolen his fruit, and everything would return to normal, both power and wealth.
However, he soon realized something was wrong when no one responded to his command.
"Grand Chancellor, you are old, too old to lead the entire Federation. I think you understand what I mean." Huang Yue said slowly.
At this moment, the seasoned Grand Chancellor understood the meaning. He had lost, and lost thoroughly.
The entire Senate was now under the control of this young man.
He glared at the other side with hatred: "How dare you..."
"Why shouldn't I? If martial artists and mystic spirits can do it, why can't an ordinary person like me?" Huang Yue chuckled, then turned and left the council hall.
A towering Tyrant entered, fully armed with various military equipment, but he did not use them. Instead, he reached out and grabbed the Grand Chancellor by the neck.
The Grand Chancellor's breathing was constricted by the immense force, his eyes filled with fear as he struggled and flailed, trying to break free from the Tyrant's grip.
The feeling of suffocation and impending death eroded his sanity, and in his mind, he saw Huang Yue's mocking smile as he left.
As for the idea that his death would implicate the other party? That was impossible, because he knew that his death would definitely be pinned on the martial artists, just as he had done before.
The truth didn't matter; what mattered was the benefit it could bring. In this world, there was no such thing as fairness and order.
The light in the Grand Chancellor's eyes gradually faded, and he finally became a lifeless corpse, falling to the ground.
The Tyrant completed his task and strode out of the council hall.
Huang Yue walked out of the Senate's main gate. Before he was made a scapegoat in the research lab, he believed that the Senate could restore the Federation's glory. But now he understood that relying on others was futile; he had to rely on himself.
"It seems you've resolved your concerns," Niu Dehua said, standing to the side, noticing Huang Yue was lost in thought.
"Mr. Niu, you have excellent timing," Huang Yue said calmly.
"It's not timing, I was waiting for you. The Grand Chancellor was assassinated by martial artists, and someone needs to step up to take control, isn't that right?" Niu Dehua said straightforwardly.
"Is that so? Mr. Niu, you also have this ambition?" Huang Yue probed nonchalantly.
"I have no intention of stepping down from Umbrella Corporation. After all, we are just researchers and lack the ability. I just want to say that we are running out of money," Niu Dehua said.
Huang Yue looked at Niu Dehua with some surprise. That was very direct, but then he remembered that Umbrella Corporation, with its focus on research, was quite straightforward in these matters.
Reflecting on recent events, he realized that all their campaigns had been funded on credit. While some debts had been paid with martial artists and mystic spirits, it wasn't real cash, and the lack of funds was understandable.
"Once I take office, I will settle the debts owed to Umbrella Corporation," Huang Yue said, no longer hiding his ambition. This also implied that he needed to be the one in charge; if someone else took the position, he couldn't guarantee the same.
"Good, I'll wait for the Grand Chancellor to fulfill his promise," Niu Dehua understood immediately and called him by the title of Grand Chancellor.
With just a few words, a special deal was formed between them.
Umbrella Corporation would provide technical support to help Huang Yue clear the entire feudal Federation, while Huang Yue would protect Umbrella Corporation, at least for now.
Huang Yue's goal was simple: to eliminate all martial artists and mystic spirits and restore order.
Compared to the non-ubiquitous supernatural powers, as a researcher, he preferred Umbrella Corporation. Although they provided him with weapons and biological weapons, their hidden base under the Senate indicated significant achievements in civilian areas.
So, once he cleared the way, he would allow Umbrella Corporation to further develop, completely eradicating the long-standing issues.
For now, power was not what Huang Yue sought; his true goal was a peaceful and prosperous era. Power was merely a tool on his path; without it, any idea was just a dream.
"Left Chancellor and Right Chancellor, they probably won't agree. Moreover, their connections are extensive, and it could lead to problems," Huang Yue said.
"Dear future Grand Chancellor, you know I'm just a researcher and don't understand politics, but I know one thing: if we can't solve the problem, we should solve the people causing the problem."
"They may have hard bones, but bullets are harder!"
Niu Dehua spread his hands, indicating that Huang Yue had the military power and could just eliminate them. After all, these people were not exactly virtuous.
The feudal Federation was vast, and finding a three-legged toad might be difficult, but finding someone capable of getting the job done was easy.
If the connections were extensive, then eliminating those connections would solve the problem.
Huang Yue was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. "That makes sense. If they oppose me, keeping them around is useless and troublesome. Killing them will save a lot of trouble."
This action might plunge the entire feudal Federation into turmoil, but the environment was already so bad; how much worse could it get?
