055 The mastermind behind it all... well, that's none of your business!

When Mo Mo said that he wasn't the only one who did this, no one was surprised.

Assassinating the captured emperor of the Chinese Federation is something only a madman would do.

On a smaller scale, regardless of whether the assassination attempt succeeds or fails, the person responsible will inevitably be torn to pieces by the thousands of imperial guards within the Forbidden City. On a larger scale, the mastermind behind it will also bear the wrath of the successor to the Chinese Federation's emperor.

Otherwise, the entire Chinese Federation will lose face, its last fig leaf will be torn off, and only doom awaits it.

Although assassination is a one-man affair, something that can be done by a single person with sheer bravery, it is still possible if the emperor is in a poorly guarded location and a hot-headed assassin shoots him dead.

As for someone like Momo, who is so thoughtful and used so many methods to bring in the emperor and princes of Britannia as a prelude to find an opportunity to get close to the emperor, would he seem like someone who acts impulsively?

Mo Mo is the kind of guy who can only be a scheming schemer. Would a schemer act rashly? Even if he really had to take action, he wouldn't personally lead the charge.

This was Zhao Hao's idea, and from a normal perspective, it was quite correct. Unfortunately, Mo Mo did not intend to act from a normal perspective.

"Who is it!"

When Zhao Hao heard Mo Mo say that he wasn't acting alone and had someone supporting him, he immediately screamed in alarm.

"Quickly, tell us, and we'll contact the forces behind you. Everything can be discussed, but please don't harm His Majesty the Emperor!"

As he spoke, Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and looked at Odysseus beside him. In his opinion, only Odysseus could have done such a thing.

Although Odysseus was still terrified and his mouth was dry, he was actually the calmest one present, having made a deal with Momo.

“Mr. Qilin,” Odysseus also tried to persuade Momo, saying, “Whatever your thoughts or demands, we can all sit down and discuss them properly. Don’t do anything impulsive!”

"Furthermore, Lord Zhao, we Britannia have come here for peace. My father has even given me many instructions. As long as we can guarantee peace in Britannia and the Chinese Federation, we have many things to discuss!"

"Everyone, calm down and don't act impulsively!"

Zhao Hao was also confused by Odysseus's behavior. If it really wasn't Britannia's conspiracy, then whose conspiracy was it?

"Could it be... the EU?!"

Zhao Hao suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked in a shrill voice.

Currently, there are only three superpowers in the world. If it's not Britannia, then it must be the EU. The EU's relationship with the Chinese Federation is by no means good either. After all, the EU occupies most of the Siberian territory of the Chinese Federation, and everyone in the Chinese Federation still remembers this grudge.

"That's right!"

At this moment, Mo Mo raised his voice and said in a deep voice, "I come from the EU. I can't stand the despicable imperial system of the Chinese Federation. For the freedom and democracy of the people of the Chinese Federation, for the inherent human rights of every human being, I will fight and kill the chief wicked emperor of the Chinese Federation."

"After that, the iron heel of justice of our EU will liberate the Chinese Federation and bring the dawn of peace to the Chinese Federation!"

"As a fighter for democracy and freedom, as a guide for the liberation of the entire Chinese Federation, I have no regrets in dying, and I die with honor!"

Hearing Momo's impassioned speech, Zhao Hao was stunned, and Odysseus was also stunned.

It really is the EU?

How dare the EU be so audacious?

Despite still being hostile to Britannia, with a tense relationship between the two sides and the possibility of war breaking out at any time, how dare the EU attack the Chinese Federation?

Has he really gone mad?

Could it be that a hardliner has come to power and become the EU's parliamentary president?

However, this is impossible. Unlike Britannia and the Chinese Federation, which are essentially one-man regimes, the EU is a true democracy.

If hundreds of parliamentarians from various countries and factions sat together for a meeting, they would probably spend a month discussing what to eat for lunch, and they might even discuss the types of desserts, and a few full-blown brawls broke out in the name of freedom and democracy.

How dare this EU take action against the Chinese Federation at such a sensitive time? Aren't they worried that the enraged Chinese Federation and Britannia will launch a two-pronged attack?

This……

While Zhao Hao and Odysseus were still in shock and doubt, Mo Mo curled his lips and said, "Ew, you guys actually believed it? I was just joking."

"puff--"

The two men, filled with shock and uncertainty, nearly vomited blood. What time was this? You were kidnapping the Emperor of the Chinese Federation! A single move of your sword could decide the fate of countless people in the world! The three superpowers might even be thrown into chaos and war because of this!

Can you be serious for once?

"What, you don't believe me? I was really joking!"

"you you……"

Zhao Hao pointed at Mo Mo, at a loss for words. He had almost actually believed that the EU was going crazy and trying to make a big splash, but it turned out that Mo Mo was just playing him for a fool.

"Tell me the truth! Who's behind you? It's not the EU, it's not the Chinese Federation, so who are you? Or some kind of nationalist, or some madman sent by that little state?"

"Oh right, it's the Indian Federation, isn't it! They've always wanted independence, so they bribed you to assassinate His Majesty, didn't they!"

Zhao Hao was startled and showed signs of going crazy. Today's matter was destined to end badly, and he had to find someone to take the blame, otherwise he would definitely be sent to the guillotine.

"There must be a mastermind behind this?"

"You just said that you couldn't have done this alone, so don't play dumb with me!"

"Tsk, what a hassle."

Momo stroked his chin and said, "Britania can't be blamed. You won't believe me even if I say it's the EU. Wait a minute... let me think, let me make one up..."

"Make up...make up something...you, you, you, can't you be serious for once!"

"I'm being very serious. I'm kidnapping the Emperor, it's a very serious matter. Don't interrupt me, or it'll be your fault if my hands shake."

Seeing Mo Mo suddenly become so serious, Zhao Hao was almost so angry he couldn't breathe. What... what kind of situation is this?!

"Ugh, this is so annoying. Whatever happens, happens. Since you all believe that I'm not the only one who did this, I'll just randomly name someone as the mastermind, and you can just believe it."

Faced with Mo Mo's almost absurd attitude, Zhao Hao was speechless, but this time he did not interrupt Mo Mo.

It's better for Mo Mo to have a mastermind behind him than for Mo Mo to have no mastermind at all. At least Zhao Hao has someone to accuse, and the people of the Chinese Federation have someone to vent their anger on.

Otherwise, if Momo was indeed an unnamed assassin who successfully assassinated the emperor, then the target of everyone's anger would naturally not be Odysseus, but rather this eunuch.

Who told him to be a eunuch?

Eunuchs have historically had no human rights, making them the prime scapegoats for royal issues.

It's good that there's a mastermind behind it all. As long as Mo Mo reveals it, it will be evidence in court. Even if the so-called mastermind is fabricated, everyone will have someone to vent their frustrations on, and Zhao Hao will have a chance to escape the crisis.

It's good that it exists!

"Then tell me quickly, who exactly is the mastermind behind this?" Zhao Hao asked hastily.

"Um……"

Mo Mo drawled out his words, then suddenly scanned the room before turning his gaze to Zhao Hao. He stared at Zhao Hao and gave him a meaningful smile.

Smile?

Why are you smiling at me?

I don't have any blemishes on my face, and I'm quite old. Even if this Qilin in front of me is a homosexual, I shouldn't smile at him!

Zhao Hao blinked and saw Mo Mo open his mouth. Suddenly, he felt a chill from hell, a chill that enveloped his heart.

"It's decided that it's you, Grand Eunuch Zhao Hao, Lord Zhao."

Mo Mo, who was holding a sword in one hand, suddenly made a JoJo finger gesture, pointing at Zhao Hao, while mimicking Ash Ketchum's tone and saying the classic line.

It's a pity I didn't have a Master Ball, otherwise I could probably catch a wild Eunuch by throwing it.

Zhao Hao looked at Mo Mo's finger, then at the finger pointing at him, and then pointed at himself, saying, "I..."

Zhao Hao was completely confused, seemingly not yet understanding.

What's wrong with me?

The surrounding guards, including Odysseus, also turned their gazes to Zhao Hao, looking at him with blank expressions.

What happened to the powerful eunuch Zhao Hao?

Just then, Mo Mo gently touched his face, as if he had been possessed by a Sichuan opera face-changing master in an instant. The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a look of sorrow.

"Your Excellency, do you not admit it?"

Hearing Mo Mo's sorrowful tone, Zhao Hao's heart skipped a beat, and a chill ran through his body, piercing his brain like needles.

I!

They actually said...

it's me!

I was the mastermind!

Zhao Hao opened his mouth wide, wanting to shout and curse, but anger made his face turn red, and he felt dizzy and his steps trembled.

"Your Excellency, the Great Eunuch!"

Mo Mo continued in a sorrowful tone, saying, "Are you going to deny it so quickly?!"

"You said that once I killed the emperor, you would rescue me even if I ended up in a death row!"

"You said that if I kill the emperor, you eunuchs will have absolute power, and the entire Chinese Federation will be yours to control. The next emperor will just be your puppet and your possession!"

"You said you would give me endless wealth so I could take my wife and children to Britannia and live a life of luxury!"

"I believed everything you said, but now, before I've even laid a hand on you, you're denying it!"

"You broke your promise!"

Screw you!

Zhao Hao trembled all over, his vision blurred, and anger was about to burn through his nerves, but even so, the anger in his heart did not diminish in the slightest.

Mo Mo is right... all the senior eunuchs are thinking the same thing, but this is something they can only think about and do in secret, and they absolutely cannot say it out loud!

Besides, they haven't even done it yet, they're just thinking about it!

So you're already taking the blame?
