Let them offer their loyalty

Another voice in my heart hurriedly spoke, as if it had seized an opportunity that could not be missed.

"of course."

The girl nodded slightly.

If ten minutes isn’t possible, then… twenty minutes.

Well, isn't that a bit too much?

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

The peacekeeping force building is exceptionally quiet today. This is not a day off or a holiday.

But two days ago, the internal conflicts within the peacekeeping force were completely intensified. All the personnel and forces originally belonging to the conservative faction were transferred to the peacekeeping force base, and the peacekeeping force building became the residence of the radical forces.

Compared to three days ago, Delt and Cleo's life is much better.

Although Zero's attack did not kill Yukasi, according to Zero, even if she was not killed, she had suffered irreversible injuries. Even with the most advanced medical equipment currently available in the Federation, it would take at least half a year before she could get out of bed and walk.

This made the two of them very happy. If it took half a year to treat, wouldn't that be the same as death?

By the time they were officially discharged from the hospital and returned, the radicals had already devoured the conservatives until nothing was left.

Furthermore, the fact that the assassination attempt was unsuccessful meant that Yukasi had remembered Zero's appearance or certain features, allowing the 25th District Alliance to put the suspicion on the Federation, while the two of them were able to protect themselves and stay out of the matter completely.

It couldn’t be a better result.

According to the agreement, Delt and Cleo can no longer trouble Zero for help. They don't need help at this time. Instead, they should use all means to suppress the conservatives and take their resources for themselves during the time when Yukas is away.

Although the conservatives were in the limelight before, all this was just a vain performance and was supported by Yukas alone.

Now that Yukas is disabled and hospitalized, will the Alte Foundation, which is helping her, take any other actions?

Capitalists are so cold-blooded that they will abandon people without hesitation once they are no longer of use. After losing this umbrella of protection, conservatives are nothing more than a mob.

As a result, the two of them immediately contacted some corporate consortiums, obtained certain funding, and fired the first shot of the counterattack three days ago.

Recruiting people, plundering resources, suppressing enemy factions, and even releasing a few cyber psychopaths in the downtown area to cause a big commotion. All kinds of endless means made it difficult for the conservatives who lost Yukas to cope. Their living space was constantly compressed internally, and their prestige and reputation were constantly declining due to the occurrence of various incidents outside.

At this time, the radicals have regained 50% of the peacekeeping force through their efforts in the past few days, and even forced the conservatives out of the peacekeeping force building and retreated to the base.

In the conference room, Cleo was discussing the next steps with Delt.

"Miss Ling will no longer help us, and the Federation is even less likely to provide us with any resources, so we can only rely on ourselves from now on."

After hearing what Cleo said, Delt said disapprovingly: "What if we rely on ourselves? We just need to take away the things from the conservatives and we can eat fat."

He had coveted those fourth-generation tactical mechas for a long time, but unfortunately those mechas were placed in the base. Even if Yukasi destroyed them on the spot, the radicals could not take them for themselves.

Unless they gradually take control of the entire peacekeeping force and devour the conservatives, only then will they be able to choose tactical mechas.

Cleo rarely refuted. He nodded and said, "Keep it down recently, especially with the consortium companies that are cooperating with us. If possible, stop them first."

"why?"

"The 25th District Alliance may be targeting them. If they find some clues in their records and discover that they have secretly contacted the Federation, then we, as partners, will be in big trouble and may even face the risk of imprisonment."

Cleo paused and said, "Besides that, we just need to steadily put pressure on the conservatives every day and slowly take over. There is no need to rush."

Delte nodded, and suddenly asked hesitantly, "The conservatives are leaning towards District 25. They are suddenly being suppressed by us. Will the alliance send people to investigate?"

"So what if they send one? So what if they don't? We don't have any trace of the Face Federation right now. Even if they want to catch a traitor, they can't find us."

Cleo sneered. You need evidence to arrest someone. You can't just arrest someone based on suspicion.

The radicals, who have already completely distanced themselves from the truth, are least afraid of this now.

But they seem to have forgotten that some people never seem to care about the rules when doing things.

Chapter 446 I Want You to Become District 25's Dog

"Are you sure this is where Zero will be staying for the next three days?"

"Well, the other five suspected locations have been ruled out,"

As soon as Jonas returned to the Alte Building, he summoned Miss Eiffel, who had not yet left work, and began to investigate Zero.

Based on the path analysis in the data, a total of six suspected temporary residences were identified, and they were checked one by one through various means. Now only the last one has not been confirmed.

And this place turned out to be a hotel, where one needed valid identification information from District 25 to check in.

"How is the situation now?"

"Miss Nora has gone over to scout the situation. If nothing unexpected happens, we will be able to receive information from her in three minutes." Eiffel replied.

Sure enough, three minutes later, the terminal communication in the office rang at the right time, and the voice of the Nightingale girl came from the other end.

"Mr. Jonas, it has been confirmed that this is where the Federation psychic stayed a few days ago, but she checked out two nights ago."

"She checked in using an ID called 'Mily Della'. I have sent the details to your terminal. Please check it out."

Although Miss Nightingale is usually disrespectful and tries every means to squeeze the fragments of the universal role out of herself, when she is engaged in a mission, her outstanding performance always brings surprises to herself, and she is like a completely different person in daily life.

The current task of exceeding the target is the best reflection of this.

"Thank you for your hard work, Miss Nightingale."

After thanking him, Jonas projected the identity information in his personal terminal onto the screen in front of him.

[Name]: Millie Dela

【Gender: Female

【Age】：23

【Address】: 75 Pompeii Street South, Art District

……

It was a very ordinary piece of information that did not match Zero at all, and Jonas never expected to be able to find her through this information.

What he wanted to know more was whether this woman really existed, and if not, who forged this identity information for her.

Before Jonas could say anything, Eiffel beside him had understood. She opened the database remotely and searched for a while, then projected another file of 'Millie Della' onto the screen.

Comparing the two sets of documents, the latter one is obviously much richer, recording life events including education and work.

"Mily Della's parents died in an accident when she was three years old. She was raised by her aunt and then attended two schools in the Alte District for three and five years respectively. She started working when she was sixteen."

“Can the parents’ information be found?”

"We can find it, but we haven't found any exact death records. This may be because the system was not perfect or the supervision was lax 20 years ago."

"What about the school? Her existence will always be recorded in the school's database, right?"

"Wait a moment, checking..."

Eiffel's slender white fingers tapped quickly on the screen, calling up one picture after another. After about two minutes, she got the answer she wanted.

"There is no record of a student named 'Millie Dela' in the databases of either school."

At this point in the investigation, it has become clear that Millie Della does not really exist and is a complete fake identity.

Jonas held his chin, lost in thought.

After a moment, he slowly said, "This is definitely not a fake identity arranged for her by the Federation."

After many encounters, Jonas thought he had a certain understanding of Dorothy. Even if she couldn't do things perfectly, she was at least rigorous. She would obviously not make such a low-level mistake as omitting identity information.

This means that the source of 'Mily Della' is someone else, and there are others in District 25 who are helping Zero.

Jonas opened the analysis diagram of Zero's action route again. With some preconceived ideas in his mind, he discovered a new clue.

There had been no signs of zero action within a ten-kilometer radius of the peacekeeping force building, as if the UN mission was deliberately avoiding this area.

Eiffel noticed Jonas's gaze, she walked to his side and asked softly, "Mr. Jonas, do you think it was the peacekeeping force that helped her obtain her identity?"

Jonas nodded. "I guessed."

Theoretically speaking, they should not have dared to act rashly after the intimidation that night. The radicals' behavior of opening champagne and expanding and annexing others after the attack on Youkasi in recent days does not seem like they have something to hide, but rather like they had suddenly picked up a big bargain on the road.

I’m tired of being poor, so I’ll just live a good life first.

The radical faction of the peacekeeping force distanced themselves from the incident and showed no signs of involvement at all.

But the more this happened, the less likely Jonas would rule them out as suspects, and he even decided to start the investigation tonight.

A problem arises as a result. The Alte Foundation has no sufficient reason to investigate or even interfere with the peacekeeping force. If it is not handled properly, it may become a weapon for the other party to counterattack in public opinion.

So Jonas decided to change his approach.

- Just tie up the current leader of the radical faction and detain him, then torture him slowly.

False investigation: looking for evidence, tempting them with benefits, breaking them down one by one, and spending a lot of effort to disprove the other party's lies...

Real investigation: just arrest and interrogate them, and torture them if they don’t obey.

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

It was late at night and the lights in the peacekeeping force building were gradually dimmed before the black-haired Deputy Director Delt walked out leisurely from the gate.

As he walked, he looked at the messages that kept ringing on the terminal in his hand.

[We will go to Beibosi tomorrow to take over the peacekeeping force stationed there. These tasks are of great importance, so remember not to delay them.]

[You should start paying attention to recruiting. Previously, a lot of new blood was absorbed by the conservatives. After you finish dealing with it tomorrow, you can contact some of the conservatives secretly. ]

"Damn it, that bastard Cleo really just treated me as a tool!"

Delt greeted the other party a thousand times in his heart, cursing him non-stop.

He is the deputy director of the peacekeeping force and now the top figure of the radical faction. How did he become Cleo's thug?

When the conservatives were gaining momentum, he was forced to form an alliance with Cleo with his subordinates and was able to curb the gradual split trend within the radicals in time.

The two have equal status, and Delt was even higher than Cleo before. But in recent days, Cleo has begun to have absolute say, and he, as a leader, has become a big hand, carrying out Cleo's tasks every day.

What a joke! I am the noble deputy director, and you actually order me to do things?

How can a poor minister really turn the world upside down?

Naturally, Delt did not obey Cleo's commands and various requests. He agreed to them on the surface, but secretly he almost never put them into practice. Instead, he kept moving forward in the direction he believed was correct.

Deep down in his heart, he never looked down on the other person.

A hint of disdain flashed across Delt's eyes, and then they returned to normal.

Previously, they were forced into an alliance because of Yukasi’s overwhelming momentum. Now that she’s in trouble, do you still expect this cooperative relationship to continue?

The seven-digit credit points that were defrauded from him before was already an unforgivable sin!

- Oh, no, at least before I officially fall out with him, I still have to deal with it on the surface. Maybe Cleo, who is so self-righteous, still thinks that everything is under control.

Delt whistled as he spoke, and even his mood seemed to be much happier, and he walked all the way to the parking lot.

Suddenly he was stunned, because on the body of his hovercraft, there was a girl in a long dress, who seemed to be playing with the gem in her hand out of boredom.

"You are……"

Delt subconsciously took a step back. Under the moonlight, he couldn't see her face clearly, but his intuition told him that the other party was more dangerous than he imagined.

"You can call me Nightingale. The Alte Consortium has something to discuss with you."

Without waiting for Delt to respond, Miss Nightingale raised her hand slightly and delivered an elbow strike across space, hitting him hard on the back of the head.

Delt had no room to dodge at all. He felt dizzy and his consciousness was drifting, then he fell to the ground as stiff as a corpse.

"It's broken. Forget that he is just an ordinary person. He doesn't even have prosthetic limbs to enhance his body."

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

There was pitch darkness in front of him. Delt held his head, endured the splitting headache, and opened his eyes with difficulty.

This is a lightless secret room. The air is filled with suffocating dullness and is extremely oppressive.

Delt suddenly realized that his limbs were restrained by steel cables and he couldn't even move.

What's going on? !

creak-

The sound of the iron door opening was particularly harsh in the silence, and the blazing white light instantly illuminated the entire prison cell.
