Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Even the manager, Matsumoto, began to waver.

Although he wanted to refute his children's words, he also knew the weaknesses of human nature well from his many years of experience as a police officer.

Human nature is inherently insatiable; human nature is never-ending.

Just like a child who discovers that throwing a tantrum can get him a toy, he will keep doing it until he becomes a giant baby.

Adults are the same. If someone extorts you and you give in, they will keep extorting you until you can no longer pay.

The way to break this chain is to completely reject it from the beginning, so that the extortionists see no hope at all, or even simply make the extortionists disappear completely!

"Sayuri, regardless of whether His Excellency Miyazaki is right or wrong, his actions have crossed the line for the country."

Sayuri took a deep breath: "Father, for Lord Miyazaki, the country is no longer a concern. If you think his actions are going too far, you can apply to the government to send troops to suppress him, if you can do that."

"And I bet that even though Lord Miyazaki used such explosive methods, the entire country will not report on this matter at all, and everything will remain perfectly calm!"

After the room door closed again, Manager Matsumoto's expression froze once more.

He took out his phone, dialed a few numbers, and began communicating with them.

Then I sat and waited, and soon a phone call came in.

"Matsumoto, has it been confirmed?"

Manager Matsumoto took a deep breath: "That's right, it's confirmed. My daughter, Sayuri Matsumoto, is one of those twelve people. If she can speak, we can confirm the identities of the remaining people!"

But Sayuri's reaction was very strong; she resolutely refused to speak, and I had no other choice.

There seemed to be a moment of silence on the other end of the phone:

"Matsumoto, you don't need to worry. The higher-ups have already discussed today's events, and the conclusion is that we must minimize the impact of this incident at all costs!"

"We must not cause him any trouble whatsoever, or even make him feel uncomfortable!"

His tone was self-deprecating and sarcastic, but his tone was undeniably authoritative!

The Matsumoto administrator looked incredulous. Was the government really in such a hurry to clean up the mess left by the other party?

The person on the other end of the phone continued, "After this incident, all the high-ranking officials and ministers in the government received an invitation on their pillows in their bedrooms, inviting them to the completion ceremony of the Sword Qi Soaring Palace!"

The manager's expression suddenly froze; it was a silent threat, much like the story of the red thread stealing the box.

If they can silently deliver a paper invitation to your pillow, they can also silently take all your heads while you sleep!

"Furthermore, the current evidence suggests that the post was made while Miyazaki Kensei was doing 'that,' meaning it wasn't him who did it, but rather..."

"It includes the twelve people, including Sayuri!"

The next day, everything was calm and uneventful, as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 775 Moving to the Palace

This is the power of authority. If authority is great enough, even those who dislike keeping quiet will actually shut up, because if they dare to say no, authority will deprive them of the ability to speak.

The public can be manipulated to threaten Miyazaki Yu, and Miyazaki Yu can certainly manipulate officials to make them know that if they want to live, they need to behave themselves.

This incitement was by no means accidental. In addition to the public's greed being aroused, the officials' inaction was also one of the main reasons.

They actually wanted to see if Miyazaki Yu was someone who could be coerced or threatened. If so, these guys with flexible bottom lines could definitely come up with a series of ways to force Miyazaki Yu to submit.

Don't doubt this; their bottom line will be lower than anyone can imagine.

So immediately after this happened, Miyazaki Yu understood that some children are disobedient and need to be disciplined.

So he had Vermouth and other subordinates send out invitations.

Everything was just right. In the hands of these people, who are now among the strongest on Earth, this was as easy as taking candy from a baby.

Just as those people thought, they had the ability to silently deliver the post to their bedrooms, and could easily take their heads away while they slept.

Compared to one's head, one can throw away one's pride and such.

They were able to rise to power because of their flexible bottom line. They dared to test Miyazaki Yu before because they relied on the human shield of the people.

Moreover, they really had no connection with those spies; they simply gave the green light when someone was pushing the project forward, without actually getting involved.

But now it seems that letting this go was a real mistake, and His Excellency the Prime Minister was wise and great; his previous decision was absolutely right.

If his waist and knees hadn't been so flexible back then, allowing him to kneel down quickly enough, that person probably wouldn't have been in the mood to joke with them.

After all, you only have one head. If you don't cherish it, you'll be letting your ancestors down. They need me to burn incense for them, so I can't die now!

No matter how far-fetched the explanation, as long as there is a reason, it will make me feel much more at ease.

So these officials held an emergency meeting and made a decision: they must severely punish those villains who attempted to threaten and damage the Sword Saint's reputation, and make the bad guys pay the price and bring them to justice!

As for Miyazaki Kensei killing someone in public?

Is this true? My eyesight and hearing aren't very good, but I've never heard of such a thing. All we've seen is the persecution by the masses, the harm done to Miyazaki Kensei by fools. We haven't seen anything else.

We're deaf and blind—our voices are cracking!

Moreover, this is just a spy. Spies are good if they are caught. It's all thanks to Lord Miyazaki. Long live the sword saint Miyazaki!

After reaching a consensus on their attitude towards this peerless martial artist, everyone began to discuss one thing: his upcoming move into this enormous palace.

The thought of that palace filled all the officials with a mixture of emotions, a mixture of seawater and fire.

This palace complex, built jointly by two countries, is truly magnificent.

Many of them used the pretext of inspection to personally visit the place, and after seeing it, they were so captivated by it that they couldn't tear themselves away.

They embezzled their whole lives—no, they worked diligently their whole lives—and still didn't have the capital to build such a massive palace complex.

The entire complex is built along the mountainside, preserving the beautiful natural landscape of the mountain and concealing pavilions and towers within it.

Once inside, you'll immediately feel a strong sense of technology.

To satisfy this person, the entire complex uses independent power generation equipment, independent network facilities, and completely independent supply of materials.

Even more impressive is the building's overall defensive infrastructure, in addition to the bunkers, tunnels, and permanent fortifications built to function as a military fortress.

Most importantly, there's that amazing person in charge here!

Judging from the current trend, once the mutated organisms begin to erupt in large numbers, and humans suffer mass deaths due to genetic reconstruction, it will inevitably cause enormous chaos.

According to current research, the intelligence of these mutated creatures is also increasing, and that will happen when the time comes.

There will surely be advanced mutated creatures beyond level three, leading a massive army of mutated creatures, forming a terrifying beast tide, and launching an attack on human cities!

Given the current state of human combat capabilities, it's clear that conventional weapons are not very effective.

However, once powerful strategic weapons are used, not to mention the enormous consumption, if some mutated creatures invade the main areas of human civilization, can you detonate nuclear weapons in the city?

The answer is, of course, no, otherwise the casualties would be even greater!

From this perspective, where in the entire human world is it safe?

Of course, it's the place where Miyazaki the Sword Saint is!

Thinking about it this way, the feeling of being in so much pain that I couldn't breathe disappeared instantly. This idea is really great!

In this way, the entire Beika Town area is practically an absolute safe zone!

Therefore, the closer a place is to Miyazaki's palace, the higher its value will naturally be!

The enthusiasm for real estate speculation, which had been extinguished for many years, was instantly reignited.

It is conceivable that from now on, the land prices around Mount Rakusakura will see an extraordinary increase.

Three days later, at the foot of Mount Rakusakura, it was still a full five kilometers from here to the palace complex on Mount Rakusakura.

However, this section of the road was now under military and police control, with soldiers standing armed every five meters.

Furthermore, every twenty meters, there were two tall, upright young men in welcoming uniforms standing face to face on the roadside. Judging from their posture, they were all highly trained special agents, and each of them was armed.

They were all elites in the army, but now they were being used as waiters to greet guests.

"Honestly, the car could have just driven up directly, but they made us get out and transfer to their car. Seriously."

On the way to the palace gates, a car drove by, and Kogoro Mouri, who had just undergone a strict security check and was forced to change cars, couldn't help but complain.

Eri, standing to the side, gave a soft hum: "Alright, this is all for safety reasons, so don't complain. Otherwise, you, the famous detective, will be very rude."

I heard today that Ms. Yoko Okino, along with many top actresses and ladies from prominent families, will also be attending this gathering.

As she spoke, she raised an eyebrow at her husband and daughter.

Kogoro Mouri's expression brightened: "Miss Yoko is coming too? That's really... cough cough cough, oh my, all those top actresses are coming? And those young ladies from powerful families? Ran, don't you think they're all big shots from the political and business worlds coming?"

Chapter 776 The Shocked Crowd

"I wouldn't know about that? But since it's a banquet of this caliber, it's perfectly normal to bring your wife and daughter, isn't it?"

Hearing her husband's nonsensical words, Eri Kisaki couldn't help but snort coldly. This man was always so oblivious when it came to these kinds of things.

Terrible political sense!

This is Eri Kisaki's assessment of her husband.

Indeed, Kogoro Mouri may appear carefree on the outside, but in reality, his inner passion and pursuit of justice surpass that of many others.

People who are so obsessed with justice and rules lack sensitivity to political changes.

Eri Kisaki felt a strong sense of crisis rising within her.

"Xiao Lan and that boy are already deeply in love. Miyazaki also cares for Xiao Lan enough. But this boy is no longer someone who had nothing before. He has grown into a unique and powerful person in this world."

He was no longer a fish lurking in the water, but a dragon capable of stirring up storms!

Looking at the magnificent gate of the building not far away, Eri Kisaki felt an even more intense shock.

This is why both ancient and modern people insist on building larger structures.

A massive building is a symbol of power, and a residence is a symbol of status.

Just like ancient emperors, they lived in magnificent palaces, and their ministers had to pay homage to them and walk through the vast complex of buildings to see them.

Everything you see and hear is this enormous and unique building.

They were constantly immersed in the imperial power and majesty, and had to utter the slogan of loyalty to the emperor every day.

This is actually a sophisticated form of brainwashing. It's easy to imagine the extent to which a person will develop awe of imperial power after being in such an environment for a long time.
