Chapter 522: A Cold and Ruthless Purge
Chapter 522: A Cold and Ruthless Purge
At the Prime Minister's residence in New Bharat.
A bolt of lightning shot forth from the city's skyline, traveling an immense distance in the blink of an eye. In the span of a second, it had traveled several kilometers, and before anyone could react, it descended upon the Prime Minister's residence with a dazzling flash.
Thunder rumbled in the sky.
Two figures appeared on a platform within the residence.
This platform often hosted public events, where the Prime Minister and other high-ranking officials would interact with the media and hold press conferences.
However, at this moment, the platform was surrounded by heavily armed Inhuman soldiers, with numerous cabinet ministers and high-ranking officials from the Hindi Kingdom in attendance. Their expressions varied, some wore looks of gravity, while others displayed panic, anxiety, or anger.
A deafening roar of thunder startled most of those present.
Their eyes then turned to the two figures on the platform.
"Prime Minister!"
The cabinet ministers recognized Fahru Singh, but he was a mere shadow of his former self. His face was as pale as paper, and his legs trembled as if he could barely stand, making him appear utterly disheveled.
Fahru paid no heed to the calls of the high-ranking officials below, instead warily glancing at the person beside him as he stood there, afraid to make any sudden movements.
It was only then that the crowd recognized the other person who had appeared.
"Ji Xinghuo!"
Someone exclaimed his name, and the entire venue fell silent. The ministers and officials were struck dumb.
The events of the day had taken everyone by surprise, as they had been suddenly gathered here without any prior warning.
It was only then that they learned of the death of the Brahma King.
The young man before them, Ji Xinghuo, had not only killed the Brahma King but also the Elephant Master and Hurricane Earl of the American Federation. He had then flown from Peshawar to New Bharat, putting an end to all resistance.
Initially, some had hoped that the missing Prime Minister Fahru could turn the situation around or, at the very least, hold out until the American Federation intervened.
Now that Fahru had appeared, those hopes were utterly dashed.
Upon seeing Fahru, some of the ministers and officials who had harbored a glimmer of wishful thinking had their expressions shift rapidly as they made their choices.
Ji Xinghuo's gaze swept over these people as he looked towards Wang Yulong.
"Xinghuo," Wang Yulong breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the overpowering presence of Ji Xinghuo, he felt a mix of emotions. This was his first time participating in such a crucial task after his promotion to Heavenly King and joining the Head of State's team, and they had almost failed.
Fortunately, Ji Xinghuo had acted in time to resolve the situation.
"I've brought the person," Ji Xinghuo said calmly. "You should know what to do next."
"I understand," Wang Yulong nodded solemnly.
He turned to a thin middle-aged man with a deeply lined face beside him and ordered, "Kanae, it's up to you now."
This man was named Kanae Majinda and served as the Minister of Home Affairs in the Hindi Kingdom's cabinet.
Kanae was a globalist who fully embraced the ideology of the Head of State. He aspired to dedicate his life to the great cause of global unification under the Asia-Pacific Community.
With his own hard work and the covert support of the Head of State, he had successfully entered the cabinet. Utilizing his position and influence as the Minister of Home Affairs, he had gathered and cultivated a group of like-minded individuals in the Hindi Kingdom, making preparations for this day.
In the Head of State's plan, Kanae was one of the most crucial personnel.
He was not only the leader of this coup in the Hindi Kingdom but also the future helmsman of the entire Indian subcontinent.
When Ji Xinghuo arrived with Fahru, Kanae was overcome with emotion, finally feeling the weight lift from his shoulders!
He took a deep breath.
"Mr. Ji," Kanae quickly calmed himself.
He first expressed his respect to Ji Xinghuo in fluent APC language and then handed over a prepared speech to Fahru. In a deep voice, he said, "Prime Minister, please read this statement to the people of the Hindi Kingdom."
In front of the podium, several cameras were already set up, but they were not for live broadcasting. The footage would be recorded and played back later.
Fahru took the speech and glared at Kanae with resentment. "Kanae Majinda, do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course," Kanae replied without hesitation, his voice solemn. "I've been waiting for this day for a long time."
"You've hidden your true nature so well!" Fahru exclaimed. "His Majesty and I were both mistaken about you. Without my recognition and promotion, you would still be starving in the slums. I should have seen through your ambition..."
"An heretical and muddle-headed king, and a despicable villain—what right do you have to point fingers at me?" Kanae remained unmoved.
He pointed at Fahru and rebuked, "Do you think I'm unaware of your dirty deeds? The crimes you committed to retain your position as Prime Minister, as well as your secret plot to overthrow the Brahma King..."
"Enough!" Fahru's voice trembled.
"From top to bottom, the Hindi Kingdom is filled with criminals—the Brahma King, the Prime Minister, cabinet ministers, parliament members, and local officials. They are guilty of murder, rape, corruption, and obstruction of justice. There is no evil they haven't perpetrated. You are vampires sucking the life out of the common people. If we don't wipe you all out, the people will never see the light of day again!"
"What I'm doing today is to eradicate caste, nobility, criminals, and exploitation, and to destroy enemies like you!"
"Let our children be born free of the slums."
"Let our people see hope."
Kanae's voice grew louder, his emotions surging once more. Tears welled up in his eyes, but his resolve remained unwavering.
Most of the cabinet ministers and officials present wore guilty expressions, their palms sweating.
They were the enemies Kanae had spoken of.
In the past, these officials would have had no qualms about eliminating Kanae. Such a person was out of place in the Hindi Kingdom, and death would have been the only way to ensure his permanent silence.
Kanae pointed at the statement in Fahru's hand.
He was an idealist, but also ruthless. "If you dare to play any tricks or disobey my orders, I will subject you to the same tortures you inflicted on others, threefold."
Fahru's heart trembled, and he quickly began to read aloud: "People of the Hindi Kingdom, I am Fahru Singh. Today, I will expose the crimes of Ferroz Rajput to the global community. Ferroz has committed unforgivable sins against the Hindi Kingdom and all of humanity. His atrocities..."
"Look into the camera," Kanae interrupted Fahru. "You've been prime minister for so many years and have given countless speeches from this position. Do I need to teach you how to do this?"
"People of the Hindi Kingdom..." Fahru began again.
Slap!
Kanae slapped the back of Fahru's head, scolding him. "Look solemn."
Fahru stumbled, feeling a stinging pain at the back of his head.
However, as he looked at the cabinet ministers and high-ranking officials below, all of whom had been his subordinates, he felt humiliated as if the slap had landed on his face.
He was desperate to make a final stand, but when he turned his head, he saw Ji Xinghuo not far away, his gaze icy and expressionless.
Thinking of what had just happened, Fahru lost all hope.
He began to read the statement again.
"People of the Hindi Kingdom, I am..." This time, Fahru read the entire statement with emotion, displaying the eloquence of a seasoned politician, giving no indication that he was being coerced.
The statement enumerated the crimes of Ferroz Rajput, and all the evidence was conclusive.
It included documents, videos, detailed records, and testimonies from victims.
All the evidence was made public online.
In the statement, Fahru declared that he had led that day's coup, overthrowing the Brahma King's rule, and that he would form an interim government, promising to hold a referendum soon to determine the future direction of the country, and requesting the support of the people.
"That's enough," Kanae said after reviewing the video repeatedly to ensure Fahru hadn't played any tricks. He then ordered, "Lock them all up."
These people had lost their value.
Fahru deflated like a punctured balloon and shouted, "Kanae, I'm willing to comply with all orders and hand over all my wealth. Please spare me!"
"You won't die yet," Kanae sneered. "The interim government still needs you to maintain stability. After everything settles down, your fate will be decided by the law and the judgment of the people, not by me alone."
"You can't do this to me..." Fahru shouted angrily.
The other cabinet ministers and officials also cried and begged for mercy, but Kanae remained unmoved.
Ji Xinghuo and Wang Yulong watched the whole process.
"Xing Guan and General He have also taken control of the situation," Wang Yulong received the message.
These two Heavenly Kings, one responsible for controlling the Hindi Kingdom's military and the other for seizing the air defense and nuclear weapon systems, both had high-ranking insiders, and everything was proceeding as planned.
"The Hindi Kingdom is under our control," Ji Xinghuo nodded.
"This is just the beginning, Mr. Ji," Kanae said solemnly. "Ferroz used religion to deceive the people. He has countless fanatical followers throughout the country who see him as the son of Brahma. Even with his death, eradicating this faith will be difficult, and it will require a long process."
"This is where your wisdom and means will be tested, Minister Majinda," Ji Xinghuo said, expressing his high hopes for Kanae.
Kanae was flattered and vowed, "I will devote myself wholeheartedly to this cause."
He felt the respect Ji Xinghuo showed him and was well aware of Ji Xinghuo's current strength, status, and the weight he carried for the future of the Earth, which was no less than that of the Head of State. In fact, after global unification, Ji Xinghuo might even become more important than the Head of State!
Regarding the governance of the Hindi Kingdom, Kanae already had a plan in mind, and he was eager to report it to Ji Xinghuo.
However, Ji Xinghuo had no interest in getting involved.
"We'll take it from here. Contact us if you need anything," he nodded to the two men and transformed into a bolt of electricity, soaring into the sky.
His phone constantly updated him with messages, providing real-time reports on the movements of the South Asian Union countries.
Outside of New Bharat, riots had broken out in several places within the Hindi Kingdom.
Although the scale was not large, and no Heavenly King-level Inhumans were involved, if left unchecked, the situation could spiral out of control.
The Head of State's order was to suppress it immediately.
Ji Xinghuo flew out of New Bharat at a speed of 10 Mach, rapidly moving across the Hindi Kingdom. Wherever he went, he located the leaders, whether they were at the forefront or hiding in the shadows, and eliminated them without hesitation.
Along the way, he also took out a large number of Inhumans, weakening the overall strength of the kingdom and initiating a top-down purge.
Boom...
Dozens of massive lightning bolts wiped out a group of insane Inhuman believers, reducing a Brahma Temple to ruins.
Ji Xinghuo flew out of the city.
Just as he was about to head to his next destination, his phone vibrated violently, and he received a message: "The nuclear missile from the Dravida Republic has been launched!"
