Chapter 1314: Chapter 1313: Live Broadcast
The "self" on TV lives so "free," while the real self... the Eldest Prince thought about everything he experienced during his captivity.
Aside from his obsession with the impostor, he feels he has grown a lot.
The special agent from the Security Committee switched to another channel, and Akumal appeared on the TV screen.
He was sitting upright on something resembling an altar, and beneath the steps were all his followers.
These people seemed crazy, no matter where Akumal goes, they follow, even if he goes abroad.
Having circled abroad, Akumal has clearly been mythologized, and some foreign scholars call him the brightest gem in the progression of human world history!
His thoughts are enough to bring world peace for ten thousand years!
Domestically, abroad, it’s all praise. In the hearts of the Nagariel people, he’s already a new god.
The Eldest Prince watched Akumal on the TV screen, saw those who became his background, crawling on the ground, and a look of scorn flashed across his face, he softly said, "Peasants."
In the eyes of the Eldest Prince, no matter how Akumal changes, he is a peasant, a despicable peasant.
Everyone with a surname starting with "A," with no family name, is a peasant.
Everyone knows this.
Akumal didn’t shy away from the fact that he was a peasant, and he never avoided discussing his background, which also became a reason for people’s greater fanaticism.
A peasant from the bottom of society, giving birth to thoughts as dignified and gracious as a god, he’s the god!
He’s not a peasant, peasant is merely his shell, he is the god!
This guy is the Eldest Prince’s target.
After circling abroad and gaining worldwide recognition, Akumal has grown into a hazard to the United Development Company and even the Federation Government.
He already qualifies to become an enemy of these people, so the Federation people are going to make a move.
The strategy developed by the Federation is to use the Nagariel people to kill the hope of Nagariel’s rise. It’s only in this way that the Nagariel people will fall into deep self-doubt and internal conflicts.
They won’t unite due to outside interference, but rather distrust everyone due to betrayal from within their own people.
Only an ununited, exploitable Nagariel is a good Nagariel, a good New Federation!
The Eldest Prince is a very good choice, he can be said to represent the traditional ruling class of Nagariel over these years, and he is also one of the representatives of the new ideas.
Nowadays, the Nagariel refer to those Youth Party people as "new thinkers," a term that is neither complimentary nor overly derogatory.
But it’s a kind of official recognition, it’s not a glorious history but represents the Nagariel’s attempt and effort to advance societal development to the next stage.
They just chose the wrong direction, but their efforts themselves are not wrong!
Federation sociologists have also given some recognition to those civil organizations that caused various disturbances a few years ago, though only a small part of it; most still do not approve or endorse it.
Things like changing the political landscape through violent means aren’t advocated.
Under the influence of Akumal’s thoughts, Nagariel society is developing in a way that makes one want to laugh but can’t, and also feels terrifying.
This is a deformed society, it’s time to press the stop button.
"Next week Akumal will come here to preach, then..." the special agent from the Security Committee didn’t finish his words, but the Eldest Prince already understood what he meant.
It’s time to send Akumal back to the Lord’s embrace!
Indeed, the Eldest Prince converted to religion during his time in the Federation, which is simply unbelievable, although this behavior did not occur naturally.
He hoped to suffer less, to have better meals, so he enthusiastically converted.
Actually, this is also a form of expression, a willingness to follow the Federation people all the way to the end!
The Eldest Prince nodded, hesitated for a moment, "After the task is done, what about the impostor..."
"We’ll let you handle it."
The words of the special agent from the Security Committee made the Eldest Prince firm in his thoughts.
If the Federation people didn’t help him, he wouldn’t be able to even approach the square outside the Royal Palace, let alone assassinate a country’s leader.
During this time, he has gathered some of his former subordinates.
These people are willing to follow him.
They are willing to follow the Eldest Prince not because of loyalty, that is only a part of the reason, the greater reason is these people can’t integrate into the Nagariel New Federation.
It’s already transformed into the New Federation, no longer the previous Nagariel!
Those who dominated others’ lives and properties in the past still have to do menial labor themselves to earn income in the new era, they can’t bear this suffering.
The Federation people propose the slogan "equality for all" here while enslaving the locals with wealth, which also makes these people incompatible with the current society.
They can’t integrate, nor can they form a small society centered around themselves, they can only be excluded from the social circle!
So when the Eldest Prince contacted these people, they responded to his call immediately.
As for why kill Akumal?
Actually, everyone is fed up with him, these former "reformers!"
Any era’s losers, looking at the succeeding era’s winners, their gaze will not be merciful.
The Eldest Prince’s methods are also remarkable; he let these people know that it wasn’t entirely his intention to eliminate Akumal.
Behind him, there were some people from the Federation, vaguely revealing to them a message that it was actually the people from the Federation who wanted to eliminate Akumal.
They were merely tools in the hands of the Federation people, used for the assassination of Akumal, like bullets in a chamber.
Once they completed this mission, they would receive a large sum of money and opportunities for immigration.
This was enough to make the Nagariel people, who were not adapted to the new era, serve him; everyone was waiting, waiting for Akumal’s arrival.
After finishing an exchange, Akumal left the place of exchange with the followers around him.
Many people said he was preaching, but he did not think it was preaching; it was exchange.
Question and answer, or he expounded on his new ideas, new insights.
After walking for a while, arriving at the hotel where he rested, Akumal sat by the window, outside which the followers hadn’t dispersed.
Among them were quite a few ascetics, who were a very special demographic in Nagariel.
They believed that by persevering in harsh environments, they could attain physical and spiritual elevation, thereby becoming closer to the Lord!
This belief supported them in doing many unimaginable things; some might persistently do a certain task to whip and ’torture’ themselves, though they considered it cultivation.
The ascetics previously lacked organizational coherence, but now they traveled everywhere with Akumal.
Besides him, there were other people in the room, all who inherited his thoughts.
There were elders, children, men, and women.
They looked at Akumal devoutly and fanatically, the more they understood this person, the more they felt the immense gap between each other!
The vast spirit influenced everyone!
"I am about to die."
Akumal withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at the disciples in the room who were forcing themselves to stay calm, and said quietly, "I can feel it, I am about to die."
He often told them these words, so they didn’t react with shock like it was the first time they heard it.
Akumal wasn’t speaking idly; he had that feeling.
He didn’t know whether this feeling was right or wrong, but it intensely told him that he was going to die.
He had a moment of confusion, wondering if he should really continue moving forward when death was already looming over him!
But looking at those people outside the hotel, he knew this was his mission in coming to this world.
No matter if it was real or not, after repeating it countless times, it became real!
"I need to arrange some matters."
"After my death, do not engage in conflict with those who kill me, calm everyone down."
"Do not attempt to seek the truth; the truth, for peace, for us, for everyone, is meaningless."
"Do not..."
He said many things in succession until he had finished saying them all.
"Does anyone have any questions?"
The disciple who followed him the longest asked, "Can we choose not to go, or leave here?"
Akumal had a market abroad; if they wanted to leave, there were countries willing to accept them.
Akumal did not immediately answer; he asked a question in return, "Any change is difficult. If we choose to evade and retreat every time we face difficulty, we will never overcome it."
"The difficulty is there, and yet we flee!"
"What we carry is not just a personal hope for the future; we carry the hopes of this country and our people..."
After a day of exchanges, the sunset’s afterglow spilled over Akumal’s body, and all the disciples knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed tightly against the floor.
A week passed quickly, and Akumal wanted to say a few more things in the last moments of his life.
A week later, he arrived at the "grave" prepared for him by the Federation people, a coastal town.
At the same time, in Bupen within the Federation, the high-level members of the United Development Company had already gathered together, Lynch was among them.
Apart from him, there were some former Nagariel power-holders, the ruling class.
Mr. Drag also attended; he sat next to Lynch.
"You look quite spirited," Lynch complimented.
Mr. Drag smiled softly, "I have a grandson now!"
Lynch looked surprised, "I should really congratulate you; this is a good omen!"
Drag nodded happily, "Yes, my fool of an eldest son, you know, he got married to... the young lady of the family."
It was a slightly notable capitalist family, primarily having influence in the light industry.
The other party agreed to marry their daughter to Drag’s eldest son entirely for the money and due to Drag being a shareholder of the United Development Company!
