Chapter 683

As time goes by, the resettlement work progresses steadily.

Aglaya remained calm on the surface, but secretly he was making arrangements according to the established plan.

She deliberately let someone leak some "confidential information" about the storage location of materials at the resettlement site, and at the same time strengthened the covert protection of the material storage area, just waiting for the people in the Senate to take the bait.

Finally, during the hidden moment, those spies thought the time had come.

They sneaked towards the material warehouse at the resettlement site, holding flammable materials in their hands and with ferocious smiles on their faces.

However, when they were about to light the fire, countless torches suddenly lit up around them, illuminating them so well that they had nowhere to hide.

Aglaya led a group of Ohma warriors and surrounded them from all directions.

"How dare you try to sabotage the immigration operation!" Aglaya's voice echoed in the night sky.

The faces of the operatives turned pale instantly, and their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably, but they still pretended to be calm and said stubbornly, "Don't spit blood at us, we are just passing by."

Aglaia sneered and waved his hand. The soldiers came forward and searched them for flammable materials and some letters to communicate with the Senate.

"The evidence is conclusive, what else do you have to say?" Aglaya asked sternly.

Seeing that the plan was exposed, the spy suddenly waved the dagger in his hand wildly, trying to break through and escape.

A soldier was quick-witted and appeared in front of Aglaya in a flash.

He swung the sword in his hand, accurately knocking the dagger out of his hand, blocking the attack on Aglaya, and then kicked him to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the other soldiers quickly stepped forward and firmly controlled these spies.

Aglaia ordered his men to take these spies back to the tent, and at the same time sent people to organize the seized evidence and prepare to make it public.

...

The atmosphere in the interrogation tent was suffocating.

At first, a few informants still hoped for a lucky break, gritted their teeth and refused to confess.

But in the face of the soldiers' powerful psychological offensive and solid evidence, their psychological defenses gradually collapsed.

The spy could not bear the pressure and said in a trembling voice, "We are just following orders. The superiors asked us to find an opportunity to disrupt the resettlement of immigrants and create chaos. We really don't know the specific plan!"

"Who is the mastermind behind you? Who else is involved in this conspiracy? Tell me everything!"

Under the intimidation of Aglaya's powerful aura, the spies had to reveal all the information they knew.

It turned out that several core members of the Senate had been dissatisfied with the integration of the upper and lower worlds. They secretly formed an action team to plan sabotage activities against immigration actions.

These spies are just the lowest-level executors. They communicate with their superiors through secret codes, and the instructions for each action are directly conveyed by their superiors.

Based on the clues provided by the spies, Aglaia deduced that the Senate would most likely take advantage of the immigrants' unfamiliarity with the new environment and tamper with the supply of daily necessities and infrastructure construction, thereby causing dissatisfaction and panic among the immigrants and thus disrupting the entire integration process.

After mastering this key information, Aglaya prepared to adjust the deployment immediately.

However, the Senate acted much faster than Aglaia had expected.

News suddenly came from the resettlement site that some immigrants developed symptoms of food poisoning such as vomiting and diarrhea after eating the distributed food.

She quickly asked Feng Jin to lead a medical team and investigators to the scene to provide emergency treatment to the poisoned immigrants and launch an investigation at the same time.

After a careful investigation, it was discovered that someone had tampered with the food during transportation and added an unknown toxin into the food.

Feng Jin comforted the poisoned immigrants and their families, and promised to thoroughly investigate the matter and give everyone an explanation.

While tracking the food transportation route, we must find out who poisoned the food.

During the investigation, Feng Jin discovered some suspicious traces and followed these clues to gradually identify several suspects.

These suspects were temporary workers working near the resettlement site. Their behavior was extremely suspicious and their whereabouts were unknown after the incident.

After Feng Jin told Aglaya the clues, Aglaya decisively ordered a hunt for the suspects.

After an intense pursuit, all the suspects were finally captured.

Faced with irrefutable evidence, the suspects confessed that they were hired by people from the Senate and followed instructions to poison the food in an attempt to create panic and disrupt immigration resettlement.

Aglaya looked at these people who were blinded by interests, feeling angry and helpless.

...

As the resettlement of immigrants gradually got on track, communication and integration between the upper and lower levels began to show results, and the originally tense and uneasy atmosphere began to gradually ease.

However, behind all this, the dark hand of the Senate hidden in the shadows may reach out again at any time, bringing new crisis to the situation that has just stabilized.

If you want to completely eliminate the hidden dangers, you must take the initiative and have a head-on confrontation with the Senate.

The next day, Aglaya ignored the obstruction and persuasion of Tibao and others.

Behind her was a group of warriors who were also dressed in fine armor and had determined eyes. They walked in unison and with great momentum, following Aglaia towards the magnificent building where the Senate was located.

Along the way, people on both sides of the street cast their eyes of admiration and expectation. Aglaia went there for the peace and future of the upper and lower worlds, and to make a final break with the Senate that was stubbornly conservative and intended to disrupt everything.

The people are not barbarians or unenlightened humans.

Everyone saw everything the Senate did.

Even if Aglaya and the others don't say it.

Given the current situation and the direction we are heading, it is hard not to think of other things.

When Aglaia and his party arrived at the door of the Senate Chamber, two guards immediately stepped forward to stop them. Holding spears in their hands, they said nervously but pretending to be calm, "This is the Senate's important meeting place. No one is allowed to enter without permission!"

Aglaya snorted coldly and said in a stern voice, "Get out of the way. Today, I want to have a good talk with the elders. If you continue to stop me, you will be the enemy of peace in Ohma!"

The two guards were intimidated by Aglaya's powerful aura. The spears in their hands trembled slightly. After looking at each other, they hesitated and stepped aside.

Seeing this, the soldiers nearby stepped forward to help Aglaya push open the heavy door.

Aglaya strode into the meeting room.

At this time, the elders of the Senate were sitting around a huge round conference table, discussing matters.

Seeing Aglaya rushing in with a group of warriors, they all showed expressions of surprise and anger.

A senator with white hair and a serious face slammed the table, stood up, and shouted angrily, "Aglaia, what do you mean by this? You broke into the Senate meeting room without permission. Do you have any rules in your eyes?"

Aglaya walked forward a few steps fearlessly and stood in the center of the meeting room.

"Rules? You keep talking about rules, but you secretly send people to sabotage immigration operations and create chaos. Is this what you call rules?"

Another elder snorted and said disdainfully, "Everything we do is for the future of Ohma. The fusion of the upper and lower worlds will only bring chaos and disaster. We must stop it."

Aglaya sneered and asked, "For the future of Ohma? What you call the future is to let Ohma continue to be complacent and fall into the old model of the past? Look at it now, the resettlement of immigrants is going smoothly, people from the upper and lower worlds are communicating and learning from each other, new ideas and new technologies are constantly being integrated, this is the real future of Ohma! But you, for your own selfish interests, are trying to destroy all this."

"Aglaiya, don't be so naive. The difference between the upper and lower worlds is huge. Integration is not something that can be done overnight. You can't even imagine the contradictions and conflicts. We are just preparing for possible crises."

Aglaya said, "Of course I know that the road to integration will not be smooth, but escaping and blocking will not solve the problem. Only by facing it bravely and actively communicating and coordinating can we resolve the contradictions and achieve true peace and development. Your secret sabotage will only intensify the contradictions and plunge Ohma into a deeper crisis."

After hearing what Aglaia said, the elders began to whisper and discuss among themselves.

Some of them looked thoughtful, as if they were thinking about the deeper meaning of Aglaya's words, while others still had angry expressions on their faces, stubbornly sticking to their own opinions.

Aglaya continued, "You sent people to poison the food in an attempt to create panic and cause harm to the immigrants. How cruel and despicable is this? Your actions have seriously damaged the interests of Ohema and hurt the lives and feelings of countless people."

A younger senator stood up and said with a guilty conscience, "That was just the behavior of a few radical elements. It cannot represent the entire Senate."

"Individual radical elements? How dare they be so bold if you hadn't connived and supported them behind the scenes? As members of the Senate, you should shoulder the responsibility of maintaining peace and prosperity in Ohma, but you did something that went against your conscience. Are you worthy of the people of Ohma?"

"You are worthy of the people? Then why don't you say you are sorry to the Senate?" A senator with a gloomy face stood up suddenly, supported his hands on the table, leaned forward, and shouted loudly, his eyes widened, staring at Aglaia.

He stabbed the table hard with his fingers, each stroke carrying strong emotions, "We gave you the Golden Race the right to govern Ohma, is this what you do?"

"You destroyed our god, Lord Kephale. Is this what you are doing for the people?"

However, at this moment, the elder who refuted suddenly felt a chill behind him, as if a cold breath was running straight from the soles of his feet to his head.

He subconsciously wanted to look back, but he felt his body suddenly become extremely heavy and an unbearable pain came from his neck.

The next moment, there was a "swish" sound, and the sound was like a sharp blade cutting through silk, which was particularly clear in the silent meeting room.

His throat was cut in an instant, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, splashing onto the table, forming shocking blood flowers.

Almost at the same time, he was stabbed in the temple. The sharp blade pierced into him fiercely. His eyes were instantly unfocused and his body fell slowly like a puppet with its strings cut. He fell heavily to the ground with a dull sound.

Then, a person suddenly appeared at the round table. That person was Saifeier.

She held two daggers that were gleaming with cold light. Blood was dripping from the daggers, and drops of blood fell on the round table, making a "tick-tick" sound.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a slightly sarcastic smile, and she glanced at the elders present, her eyes as if she was looking at a group of lambs to be slaughtered.

"You old pedantic fellows keep saying that you are doing this for the Senate and for Kephar, but do you really know what Ohma really needs?"

"Kephale? The so-called god you blindly worshipped brought nothing but disaster and suffering to Ohma. The Dawn Machine caused the Black Tide to rage, leaving countless people homeless and their families broken up. And you, in order to maintain your ridiculous beliefs and power, chose to turn a blind eye and even aided and abetted the evil."

"Everything Aglaya and the Golden Race did was to save Ohma and to bring peace to the people of this land. But you are speaking nonsense here, trying to hinder the progress of history."

Saifeir stopped and stared at the fat elder, "Like you, who were just speaking up for Kefar, have you ever thought about those innocent people who lost their lives in the black tide? Have you ever thought about those families that were broken up because of your selfishness and stubbornness?" The fat elder felt uneasy when he was stared at by Saifeir. He subconsciously took a step back, and the fat on his face trembled slightly.

"Today, I am standing here to make you sober up. Ohma does not need rulers like you who will do anything for power and faith. If you still want to continue to bully and abuse your power in Ohma, hinder the integration of the upper and lower worlds, and destroy the future of Ohma, then don't blame me for the dagger in my hand that doesn't recognize you!"

Saifeier swung the dagger in his hand with force, and with a "whoosh" sound, the dagger pierced straight into the table in front of the fat elder. The blade trembled and made a buzzing sound.

The elders looked pale as they watched the scene before them. Some of them were trembling slightly, while others widened their eyes in horror, unable to utter a word.

The atmosphere in the meeting room froze instantly, and the dead silence was like thick ink, enveloping everyone tightly.

Saifei's sudden action and tough words were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's hearts.

The elders' faces lost all color, and fear surged in the depths of their eyes like a tide.

Some people clutched the armrests of the chairs tightly, their knuckles turned white and veins bulged on the backs of their hands; some people opened their mouths wide but could not make a sound as if they were suffocating.

"And, Katniss, don't think I can't detect you just because you're hiding in the dark."

As Saphir finished her words, a slight rustling sound came from the shadows, and a figure slowly emerged. It was Katniss.

She was wrapped in a tight black dress, completely airtight, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

She had several strangely shaped daggers on her waist, the blades flashing coldly, as if silently telling of her bloody past.

"If you still want to do something, I don't recommend leaving another body here." Saphir approached Katniss step by step.

"Sai Fei'er, don't be so arrogant. Do you think you can scare me like this?"

"Arrogant? Why should I show mercy to those of you who are trying to hinder Ohma's rebirth!" A hint of determination flashed in Saphir's eyes. She exerted force on her feet and rushed towards Katniss in an instant. The dagger in her hand pierced Katniss' throat at a tricky and fierce angle.

Katniss reacted extremely quickly, dodging to the side and pulling out a dagger to block.

The two daggers collided violently, emitting dazzling sparks. The sharp and piercing sound of metal impact echoed in the conference hall, like a shrill wail, breaking the suffocating oppression.

"Stop fighting!" Aglaya shouted.

However, at this moment, Sephiroth and Katniss were already blinded by rage, completely immersed in this fierce battle of life and death, and turned a deaf ear to Aglaya's cries.

The two figures quickly crossed each other in the dim conference room, like two black phantoms, making it difficult to take in the sight.

"Enough!" Aglaya shouted again, and an invisible and powerful force swept through the entire conference hall like a raging tsunami. Tables and chairs were overturned to the ground, and documents flew all over the sky.

Katniss was sent flying backwards by the powerful energy and hit the wall hard, while Saphir was caught by the golden thread and then slowly slid down.

After the two men steadied themselves, they looked at Aglaya with unwillingness.

"Katniss, as an elder, you should be aware of the situation Ohma is facing right now. Continuing to fight will benefit no one."

I can also say to you again what Sai Feier said just now, "If you still want to do something, I don't recommend leaving another body here."

Katniss bit her lip, a trace of struggle flashing in her eyes.

Finally, she sheathed the dagger and quietly retreated into the shadows.
