Unspeakable bubbles

But he had to admit that they had the confidence to back it up!

So what if there's a referendum?

Fielding and Gulian have been operating in the Federation for many years, one in the military and the other in the mystical world. Their influence is deeply entrenched and almost impossible to shake.

Leaving aside the speaker's position, they will definitely take two of the three seats for members of parliament.

Normally, Fernand wouldn't be in such a hurry.

His influence in the Federation is considerable, though not as great as Edward's, nor as great as Fielding's or Gurian's. Could he possibly be less powerful than Shingo Fukai?

If it weren't for the previous scandal, Fernand estimated that if a referendum were held, Edward would likely be the speaker, while he, Fielding, and Gurian would continue as members of parliament.

Shingo Fukai?

I'm sorry, but Edward will definitely have to do everything he can to get the position of Speaker this time, so he won't be able to care about his son-in-law at all.

Without Edward's strong support, how could a 'young upstart' like Shingo Fukai, with his shallow foundation, fight against himself?

Therefore, if it weren't for what happened before, Fernand would have been fearless.

pity……

'Choose four out of five? No, one out of two? I still have a chance!'

Fernand calmed himself down. He had already lost a game, and he needed to think carefully about every move he made from now on.

Flying abroad on a private jet during the Kuroshio Movement? This scandal isn't enough to condemn him outright.

After all, there are many interpretations of flying abroad.

You're saying I'm a fugitive? I would never admit to that.

I'm going out to find a way out for the Federation!

In case the Federation really can't hold on any longer, we'll need to find a place to take refuge.

Who should handle this communication?

I, Fernand, have no choice but to do it!

As for why they didn't admit it at first...

Please, it's not something to be proud of to ask other countries for help. I immediately denied it.

Well, of course, lying is never good. I apologize, I admit my mistake!

However, those of you who are preparing to vote for Representative Shingo Fukai, please don't forget his other identity—he is the son-in-law of Representative Edward!

Three members of parliament can jointly reject the speaker's proposal, but what if one of them is one of the speaker's "own people"?

So please think carefully before you vote!

Compared to Shingo Fukai, am I, Fernand... more suited to continue serving as a senator?

'This time, unlike Fukuda Hiroshi, I won't be subjected to a coordinated attack by the other members of parliament. Shingo Fukai, don't think you're safe just because you're sitting on the sidelines!'

Just as Fernand was making a tough decision, Shingo Fukai glanced at him as if he sensed something.

"..."

Fernan stared at him expressionlessly, then finally let out a cold smile.

Shingo Fukai didn't give this 'opponent' any indication; his calmness was somewhat frightening.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A man walked into the conference room, handed the file bag to Edward, and then bowed and took his leave.

"You all should take a look."

Edward didn't open the file bag; he got up and placed it in front of Gulian.

"This is……"

"The little girl's background, why she came to the Federation, why the orphanage caught fire—everything you want to know is inside," Edward said with a smile.

Apart from Shingo Fukai, who already knew about it, the other members of parliament focused their attention on the file folder.

Gulian immediately tore open the sealed document bag and began to intently peruse the confidential documents.

After a long while, she let out a long sigh.

"Whoo~"

“Your Excellency Edward, your agents are indeed quite capable.” Gulian smiled.

“It’s the federal agents who have a knack for it,” Edward said calmly.

As Gulian passed the documents to the impatient Fielding, she said, "Now, is everything finally foolproof?"

"We can't let her completely disappear from our sight; we need to know her whereabouts in a timely manner."

Edward asked, "Mrs. Gurian, do you have someone in mind?"

"There just happens to be one... no, two suitable candidates."

Gulian pondered for a moment, "They are not only exceptionally capable, but they also all have some connection with that little girl."

"Then let's hurry up."

Edward said earnestly, "Let that awful little girl go where she belongs."

........................................................................

After a busy day, Jack returned to his apartment.

He didn't turn on the light, but instead slumped onto the sofa.

There have been busier times before, but I've never felt this utterly exhausted.

Sure enough, it's because I've lost my motivation to strive.

Suddenly, something cold pressed against the man's throat.

"I didn't expect you to have a habit of not turning on the lights. I waited in the dark room for ages, hoping to see your shocked expression."

The teasing voice made Jack freeze. He asked uncertainly, "Who are you? I think there must be some misunderstanding between us."

"Ah ha, you really are a heartless man, have you forgotten me so quickly?" The mocking tone in the voice became even stronger.

"..."

"Apart from my fiancée who unfortunately passed away, I have never had an affair with any other woman."

Jack said calmly, "Miss, you've mistaken me for someone else."

"Humph!"

"How dare you mention my sister!"

The owner of the voice was furious and grabbed Jack's hair.

"You bastard, didn't you swear to me back then that you would protect Masumi for life?"

"How could she have suddenly passed away!"

"If you can't give me a straight answer today, I'll take your life!"

Section 341, Chapter 340: True Name

"You, you're using your real name!"

Once Hirano Mana said that, Jack immediately understood.

This 'sister-in-law' who went out to make her way in the world since she was a child has come to seek revenge today!

"..."

After realizing what had happened, Jack relaxed.

"Hehe, you seem relieved."

"What, is it because you're certain I won't make a move?"

The pressure from Zhenming's hand increased, but Jack remained silent.

A cold glint flashed in Hirano Mana's eyes, and she stabbed the man's leg with a fruit knife she had taken from the kitchen.

Jack tensed up instantly, clenching his teeth so tightly that he didn't utter a sound.

"Ok?"

Zhenming curled his lip: "Don't try to act tough in front of me. Believe me, you'll regret it."

"..."

"Tell me, how did Masumi die!"

“Heart attack, sudden onset,” Jack said painfully.

"Bullshit!"

Zhenming was furious: "Sudden heart attack? Could you be any more evasive?!"

"……It was my fault."

"I didn't give Masumi happiness, I didn't hold her hand and grow old together, I, I am a useless man."

Jack suddenly screamed as if he had collapsed: "Kill me! It's better if I die... then I can go down and join Masumi!"

"You've gone too far."

Although she said it, she was actually unsure of herself.

This jerk... doesn't seem like he's acting.

"Dili dili"

"Dili dili, dili dili".

The incessant ringing of the cell phone made Makoto raise an eyebrow: "What a coincidence that it's calling at this hour."
