Chapter 1217: Chapter 699: Accomplice to Evil (Part 2)
The refugees in the city embraced each other and wept as they watched this scene.
If I had not seen light, I could have endured the darkness.
In the past, the people of District Three actually lived with power outages all the time. The Parents’ Meeting had provided power for only a short month, and then the city went dark again.
It was precisely this month that made them miss the days with electricity so much.
Now, the lights are on, symbolizing the return of civilization, marking the end of chaotic and disorderly days.
Under the evening’s sunset, a reporter from Hope Media hurried past Qing Chen carrying a stack of handwritten manuscripts in his arms.
Qing Chen called out to him, “Hello, are you a reporter from Hope Media? I heard Xiao San mention you.”
Gao Wen was startled for a moment and responded somewhat bashfully, “Hello, I am Gao Wen, a reporter for Hope Media. I want to write an article about this disaster.”
Qing Chen said earnestly, “Please don’t mention the Parents’ Meeting, and try to give us more time. Thank you.”
Gao Wen solemnly promised, “Don’t worry, I will. You don’t have to thank me, it’s I who should be thanking you.”
Saying that, he continued to run toward the Hope Media Building, aiming to make public everything he recorded during this period, letting everyone know that amidst the Federation civil war, there was still a group of people who saved a city.
…
…
Northern Battlefield.
In an aerial fortress suspended amidst the clouds, a small cocktail party was being held.
Individuals with blonde hair and blue eyes communicated in English, celebrating their victory in the first expedition battle.
The appearance of two overseas sky fortresses and ten A-Class floating ships decisively destroyed 12 A-Class floating ships and 41 fighter jets belonging to Qing’s Family and the Li Family, completely altering the dynamics of the northern war.
It was fortunate that Qing’s Family and the Li Family withdrew early, or the losses would have been even more devastating.
This battle led to a full-line retreat for Qing’s Family and the Li Family, forcing them to rely on ground defensive structures to halt the fleet’s southward advance.
At the cocktail party, a young Asian man with a dark complexion suddenly raised his glass, “Cheers!”
Everyone raised their champagne glasses.
A young Asian stood amidst the white people, looking particularly conspicuous.
The young Asian, Arthur, was the leader of the Kingdom organization, but all Kingdom members were aware that he was merely a puppet being controlled; he himself was not present.
At this time, twelve women dressed in cherry blossom kimonos entered the dance floor, gently twisting their bodies to the soothing music.
A group of white people whistled nearby, and some even attempted to lift the kimono skirts.
The young women were somewhat terrified but could only suppress their fear and continue dancing.
As they danced, Kingdom organization members wrapped their arms around them, taking them aside to drink.
Arthur smiled and asked, “Where is that friend from the Jindai Consortium?”
“He’s still in his own lounge, said he’ll be here soon,” a white person replied.
As they were speaking, a young man with black hair and black eyes entered the cocktail party. He didn’t look at the plight of the kimono girls but instead greeted Arthur in fluent English.
Arthur admired, “Jindai, your fluency in English always amazes me.”
The young man called Jindai laughed, “In my long life, I have crossed the Forbidden Sea using Taboo and lived for a time on the West Coast in San Francisco. I very much enjoyed it there, especially the women.”
Arthur laughed after hearing this, “That won’t do; you don’t deserve our white women.”
After this statement, the atmosphere at the cocktail party plunged into freezing point; everyone silently looked at Jindai, waiting to see his reaction.
Arthur tightly stared at the young man in front of him, “In this war, you do little more than talk, unable to earn our respect.”
Jindai said softly, “For this war, I sacrificed a true son, who has followed me for hundreds of years; it’s the price I paid for this war. Moreover, the disaster of City 10 is enough to sever the southern two supply lines, which is also why Qing’s Family and the Li Family retreated.”
Arthur shook his head, “I dislike your conspiracies; they sound dirty to me. You need to understand one principle: it’s you who needs us, not us who need you.”
The young man, unnamed but codenamed ‘Jindai’, was silent for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, “Rest assured, I won’t touch the women of white descent from now on.”
“Good,” Arthur nodded.
In this cooperation, there must be one principle: the West Coast, relying on the forward bases on Forbidden Sea, must hold absolute power.
The Federation will become their first colony, rather than a region for equal development.
The Kingdom organization, Future Organization need a dog, not a partner.
“Talk about the situation, Jindai. How do you view the upcoming battle?” Arthur handed his champagne to the waiter, swapped it with a whiskey, and gently sipped. He looked like a true gentleman, with his tuxedo immaculate.
Jindai analyzed, “Now the Federation has just undergone a war internally. The Air Force Fleet of the southern Chen Clan has no ability to go north, and the Li Family’s Aerial Fortress is under repair; at the earliest, it will take three months to set sail… But I don’t recommend you attack blindly because Jindai needs time to construct supply lines and forward bases; the front line shouldn’t be drawn too long at once.”
Arthur asked, “How long does it take to establish a forward base?”
