Chapter 1317: Chapter 1316: Have the Attitude of a Master
Even if one is in Hell, with conviction and faith, they are under the protection of the Lord.
The soul does not fall, wherever I walk is the Celestial Kingdom!
This phrase comes from a Chapter in the Bible, talking about the Lord walking in Hell in the guise of a mortal, witnessing all the evil and malevolent thoughts.
Although he is merely a mortal, the evil demons in Hell cannot harm him in the slightest, because he has conviction and faith in his heart.
There is a light that responds to him, shining from the Celestial Kingdom into Hell. With each step he takes, the evil lands of Hell are purified a little more.
When he walks out of Hell, it has already become a new Celestial Kingdom.
The evil creatures of Hell develop faith in him due to his greatness, are blessed by the Lord’s gospel and glory, dispel evil, and preserve their true selves.
This is a very important Chapter in the Bible, and it’s an inevitable process from humanity to divinity for the Lord.
A day ago, for most people in Nagariel, they were just like what is said in the Bible.
They have faith, they have conviction. Even if there are some hidden issues in Nagariel now, most people are actually living quite well.
At least better than before, and that is definitely true.
If Akumal had not died, maybe one day the people of Nagariel would fully and wholeheartedly unite around him.
By that time, maybe he could really change his world!
But all of this was put to an end yesterday!
A few bullets ended Akumal’s life, the destructive power of a rifle bullet is something human flesh cannot resist.
He departed this world before he could be sent to the hospital.
Once, someone described Nagariel as a land of suffering on Earth, Hell on Earth!
At this moment, people’s faith collapsed!
Akumal was killed, and what’s even more unbelievable is that the ones who killed him were actually Nagarielans!
People tore apart the bodies of those assassins in anger, their identities were soon discovered by some people in Nagariel!
They were called pioneers of reform, somewhat respected by people, the Youth Party leader and members!
Anger, despair, like a beast baring its fangs, tearing at people’s hearts, souls, and reason.
When the news came out that these people might have been bribed by the Federation people to assassinate Akumal, people could no longer hold back!
"Some people are protesting, but there are also others who have started smashing our assets."
"Our work has almost completely stopped..."
Through the phone receiver, Lynch heard the cry of children, because they were his half-brother or half-sister. He hadn’t been paying much attention to Nell during this time, and he didn’t know if he had any new children.
At this moment, they were discussing everything that happened in Nagariel on the call, and Nell was clearly very worried about the current situation. He thought it might get out of control.
However, Lynch appeared quite calm, "Has anyone broken into my house?"
The palace where Nell was living was actually Lynch’s palace, so he used the word "my" to indicate to whom it belonged.
"No, someone tried to do so, but they were injured by our people. Now they are just standing at the door protesting, and the crowd is growing. I worry something might happen."
"I know the Nagarielans well. Once they unite, they might do something irrational."
"And... if this is true, who would be so stupid to leak such a thing?"
There was a hint of anger in Nell’s tone, and from this anger, Lynch sensed a bit of the presence of a superior, though it was weak.
He wasn’t yet ready to take over a province. Originally, Lynch planned to let him gain local control after this turmoil.
But clearly, he didn’t have that capability yet.
This idea had to be temporarily abandoned.
"It’s not a matter of who’s stupid and who’s not, Nell. The message was leaked by the company..."
The moment Lynch revealed the truth, Nell even felt... how could there be something so absurd under this sky?
The Federation people had someone take out Akumal, and then the Federation themselves revealed to the Nagariel people that they were the ones who did it all!
If this were truly the case, wouldn’t it just be better to do it with their own people?
"I don’t understand!"
Lynch thought for a moment and decided to reveal a bit of information to Nell after all, hoping this land could become a tributary for his family for generations.
When a person reaches a certain point, they always have to think about the future. Even though he didn’t like those half-siblings, there wasn’t any obvious hatred.
"There’s nothing incomprehensible about it, Nell."
"When we want to get rid of those hidden troublemakers, those Nagarielans who are quick to change attitudes under some extreme emotions, you always have to give them an opportunity to expose themselves."
"Tell them the truth, force them to take action, then deal with these people."
"It’s like popping a pimple, you have to let it come to a head before you can squeeze it out."
"You might ooze pus, even bleed, but then there will be no more damned pimples on your face!"
"So what you need to do now is to soothe the local people’s emotions and make them understand we haven’t done anything, it wasn’t us who assassinated anyone."
"Also, some materials will be sent to you later, containing more detailed identities of those assassins. You can first spread this information among those willing to listen to us."
"Only by clearly dividing them into two parts can we take action."
Nell heard many brutal things in Lynch’s straightforward words, and he understood Lynch’s meaning.
They want to pick out that small group in the Nagariel society who hate the Federation people; the fate of this group is already doomed before anything happens.
At this moment, Nell’s blood seemed to turn cold, no exciting political maneuvers, nothing that could be accepted by the people for international integration, only slaughter!
Kill those who create trouble, and the trouble will be solved, this is the attitude of the Federation Government and the Federation United Development Company’s board.
They are unwilling to waste time and resources discussing concepts like free will with the locals; what they need is a stable Nagariel that can solve various problems for the Federation.
Not a Nagariel that creates problems for the Federation!
"I... I want to know what to do, those people..."
He wanted to ask what would happen to those people in the end, those troublemakers, those who hate the Federation people, those who would jump out at any provocation.
Lynch didn’t explain much, "Someone will come to deal with them, you don’t need to worry about that."
"Just do your job well, and after this incident is over, you’ll already have some prestige among the locals."
"You need to utilize this prestige; they will see you as a Federation person who can protect them, a friendly Federation person, and you need to make use of this image."
"I hope you can quickly replace Gadon; power has been in someone else’s hands for too long, it becomes theirs..."
When Nell hung up the phone, it was as if he had undergone a huge growth; he sat on the sofa by the telephone for a long time without regaining his composure.
The almost inaudible cries and shouts from outside the window slowly lifted his eyes to look out.
In his eyes, he couldn’t find a focus.
In these years, Nell almost always lived in Nagariel, he already treats this place as a new home.
Here he has his new family, wife, and children.
He has his company, his career, his everything.
But... until this moment, Lynch’s reminder only made him realize, while treating this place as his home, he is actually just a guest here!
He slowly stood up, looked out the window, smoke columns rose from the city at the foot of the hill, the city trembled, and cried.
And on the street out front, a large group of locals gathered together, holding up slogans, flags, shouting loudly at the Federation people living here.
These people... are probably the militant faction, right?
They... will all be dealt with, right?
On the porch platform, the employees of Darkstone Security Company holding guns had long since unlocked the safety; they watched those people vigilantly.
As long as they cross the line or make some unfriendly moves, they would immediately be met with gunfire.
Actually, they had more information than Nell; the head office’s sentiment was, as long as anyone during this period makes an attack gesture toward them.
No matter whether there’s an attack or not, just shoot to settle it, subsequent issues will be handled by the Federation Government and United Development Company’s senior management!
If necessary, the big boss will also come to Nagariel personally!
Just like earlier, someone tried to rush here, and their bodies, at this moment, still lay less than ten meters from the door on the ground...
Nell slowly regained his senses, he left the study and looked at his wives and children, forced a smile and embraced them.
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen, it’s not like before..."
Nell’s phone call had just ended, and Gadon’s call came in; he was also anxious.
The entire province suddenly became chaotic, who could have thought?
As a Provincial Governor appointed by Lynch, he is now scared to death.
If Lynch couldn’t see him, he would kneel on the ground to call Lynch.
Vaguely, he seemed to understand the mindset of Mr. Simon when he took him to visit Lynch — timid, scared, uneasy.
"Mr. Lynch..."
When the call connected, Gadon recounted the events in a low posture and requested Lynch to give him some new instructions.
He doesn’t seem like a Provincial Governor, at least Drag when facing Lynch in this position before, was not so humble.
Lynch calmed his emotions and told him the most important thing now is to solve the basic public security issue.
But at the same time, excessive violence against the people is not suitable, which would anger the people, exacerbate conflicts, we must persuade people to go home and influence them.
These orders sound... are damn fouling①, but Gadon, apart from complying and executing them, can’t do anything else!
