I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

However, compared to Wei Yanwu who had never thought about the feasibility of Blood Demon's plan, in Londinium, the Duke of Windermere stood up almost roaring when he heard the words, and slammed the table in front of him.

The Duke of Windermere is a duke with great military achievements in guarding the border. He has been in and out of battlefields all year round, and his voice is louder than most people. If Chen Qi was present, he would definitely think that the duchess' voice was louder than that of a senior superintendent of Longmen he knew.

Her strength was even more terrifying. The table, which she slammed hard on, broke directly in the middle, and all the fruits and desserts on the table fell to the ground. The scene suddenly became tragic.

However, after doing all this, the Duke of Windermere's anger still did not subside. She did not care at all about the calm look of the Duke of Wellington and the frightened look of Abramana, and said with gritted teeth:

"Who *Victorian slang* came up with this?! This will reduce unemployment, but so what?! Will there be strikes and riots next?"

"The soldiers of Victoria and I are here to guard the frontier, not to let these insects destroy our rear! Nor to protect a Victoria like this! The soldiers give their lives to me because they believe we can take good care of their families!"

"But these guys in the parliament can actually come up with such a cruel method? Using social security to threaten people to work? If this continues, which Victorian citizen will support us? Without the people, who will support our frontline supplies?"

"If our soldiers knew how you treated their families back home, they would come after me with their weapons!"

The Duke of Windermere knew very well that the Victorian army needed a stable rear. Victoria had just gotten rid of the downward trend because of this upheaval. Although there was a lot of work to be done, the people of Victoria had not lost their confidence. Their love for the country made Victoria rise again after a long time.

But if at this moment, those guys in the House of Representatives were to implement a proposal like the Blood Lord's, it would definitely be a heavy blow to the Victorian people who are now filled with enthusiasm for the country.

Victoria cannot withstand any suppression now. What they need to do is to seize this upward trend, restore Victoria to its former peak as soon as possible, strengthen Victoria's national defense, and make the Sarkaz who are still deep in Victoria's hinterland and the foreign enemies who are eyeing them dare not move.

At a time when unity is most needed, how dare these people in the parliament publicly say such things? This is simply bringing disaster to the country and the people!

"This is not what my soldiers and I are protecting! The person who proposed this plan should be beheaded!"

"Calm down, Windermere, this is just a play." At this moment, the Duke of Wellington finally spoke, allowing the Duke of Windermere, who was immersed in the play, to calm down a little.

"What's more, Humphrey in the show also said that this policy is impossible to implement, so there is no need to worry about members of parliament actually proposing it. Even if they do, no politician would dare to stand up and bear the consequences."

"——It would be better. But I hope you, the parliamentarians, would not even have such an idea, otherwise I will send these people to the guillotine myself."

The Duke of Windermere also calmed down a little and sat back in his seat in a depressed mood. However, he realized belatedly that his emotions had been aroused by the plot of a TV series, and he felt it was a bit magical at the time.

Maybe it's just because... the proposal made by this demon guy is too radical, right? It's to the point where it's unacceptable, right?

Back to the show, Bernard, played by Manfred, also walked into the office of the Blood Demon Lord with a tape recorder. After the two greeted each other, Manfred asked, "What do you want this for?"

However, the Blood Demon Lord still looked complacent, as if he was still savoring his flawless performance on the show, and said with a smile:

"VBC just sent me a tape that seems to be a recording of my interview. They said it was very interesting!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

However, the Blood Demon Lord obviously had no idea that his outspoken words in the studio were all recorded. But the audience from the God's perspective were obviously very clear and they could guess what the content of the tape was.

However, when Manfred heard the comment "too interesting", his expression changed. He naturally didn't know what the Blood Demon Lord said after the show ended. He felt something was wrong and tried to test it:

"Your interview?"

"Don't you believe what I can say is interesting, Bernard?" The Blood Demon Lord also noticed Manfred's doubt, and Manfred answered cautiously:

"No, I just thought you were going to keep quiet like usual, uh..."

In response, the Blood Demon Lord rolled his eyes. He had no doubts about Manfred pretending to be stupid, but he still said caringly:

"Open it and listen, Bernard. You will learn a lot from it."

The Blood Demon Lord had no idea of ​​his current situation, and Manfred pressed the button of the recorder with a somewhat skeptical attitude when he heard it. Soon, with the internal tape rolling, all the Blood Demon Lord's unrestrained words in the studio were played out.

"Dear Alu, no one tells the truth about unemployment."

"why?"

"Because everyone knows that to halve unemployment it only takes ..."

Slowly, as the original sound in the recorder played, the Blood Demon Lord's originally confident expression slowly became stiff, gradually changing from calm to surprise, and then began to become shocked...

Manfred, who was listening on the side, subconsciously sat up straight and glanced at the Blood Demon Lord beside him with great surprise, as if he had begun to doubt the authenticity of the recording.

But at this moment, everyone inside and outside the TV knew that this was of course true. The Blood Demon Lord gradually panicked, and his fingers began to tremble as he wanted to press the pause button on the recorder.

However, he didn't even succeed the first time, and only after speeding up did he finally stop the recorder.

"--Sir Humphrey, this isn't you?!" Manfred's voice was almost trembling as he looked at the Blood Demon Lord with the last glimmer of hope.

However, at this moment, the Blood Demon Lord was so panicked that he couldn't even think, and he subconsciously answered:

"It's me, Bernard."

"But how can you say such things? Is there anything more to this?"

When Manfred was about to turn on the recorder again, the Blood Demon Lord quickly waved his hand to stop him. However, after a long time, he could not utter a word, as if there was something stuck in his throat.

However, knowing that he had made a big mistake this time, the Blood Demon Lord, who had relatively low coping ability in this situation, could not accept the fact for a long time. With his accelerated heartbeat and belated fear, his expression was now extremely tense.

However, after becoming tense, he didn't know what to do. In addition, he was old and could not stand such a huge stimulation. The Blood Demon Lord's expression began to become distorted, even a little funny, with an exaggerated look of a myocardial infarction + soaring blood pressure.

Such superb acting skills, without a doubt, except for the drastic change in Tracy's expression when he heard about the death of the former prime minister, no other scene can compare to the superb performance of the Blood Demon Lord now.

"...What did you say this time that scared a being like the Blood Demon Lord like this?"

However, at this moment, Tallulah, who was watching the last episode of "Yes, Prime Minister" with Chen Qi, also cast her gaze at Chen Qi who was smiling beside her. She automatically ignored Nian who was about to fall off the sofa with laughter, and Xi who had been covering his face and trembling all over, and turned to ask Chen Qi.

Tallulah knew very well that when Chen Qi chose roles, he tended to look for people who could handle the roles well, but when it came to testing his acting skills, Chen Qi could always find a way to mobilize the emotions of those who were not professional actors.

"It's very simple. What makes Tracy laugh is that the kings who oppose him among the kings of the royal court died suddenly. Similarly, as a blood demon lord in the royal court, what he fears most is that his position will be abolished."

Chen Qi also showed a faint smile and said to Tallulah:

"I told him that when he got to this point in the play, he should think about the fact that his position as one of the kings would be replaced by a new group of Sarkaz, and that the new kings would be thousands of years younger than him."

"I thought that a proud being like the Blood Demon Lord would not be willing to accept such a situation. Now it seems that his performance can prove my guess."

How could the Blood Demon Lord accept that the Blood Demon position in the Royal Court was abolished by other clans? You know, although the positions of the kings in the Royal Court have always been there, they are not always theirs. They represent the backbone of the Sarkaz clan and the race with the most development potential.

The kings represent the strongest existence under the Demon King. There are many branch races of the Sarkaz who want to eliminate them, but there are not many that have more potential than the kings.

Not many, but not impossible. Therefore, the Blood Demon Lord found it difficult to accept this kind of scene just by thinking about it, especially for a proud being like him. If the Blood Demon Clan represented by him was driven out of the royal court, he would be so ashamed and angry that he would explode.

In the plot, Humphrey, played by Lord Blood Demon, was also in pain, but still answered honestly:

"Yes, Bernard."

"——Is it so destructive?" Manfred gradually realized the seriousness of the matter, but he still repeatedly confirmed how serious it was. The Blood Demon Lord also knew this, so he answered very "honestly":

"It's more than that... I think I said... 'parasite'."

As he said this, the Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead. Manfred didn't expect that the other party would reveal such a big flaw as never before, and couldn't help but ask: "How could you be so careless?"

However, Manfred's words directly stimulated the Blood Demon Lord. This being who claimed that he would never make small mistakes, realized that he was on the "brink of life and death" this time, and hurriedly defended himself:

"The interview is over! We were just chatting, this is not an official record!"

The Blood Demon Lord suddenly came to his senses, and the card he got from the tape from VBC, patted his forehead and said, "Lord! I understand!"

"blackmail."

"Blackmail?" Manfred took the note from the Blood Demon Lord and read out the contents of the note: "This is the informal part of your interview. We think it is very interesting. We will contact you soon."

"What do they want, Bernard?" The Blood Demon Lord walked to the window with a melancholy look on his face and asked with a dead heart.

Manfred: "VBC? A 50% increase in subscription fees?"

At this point, many viewers were already laughing so hard that they couldn't close their mouths. Although most viewers didn't know what the 50% of the viewing fee meant, it didn't prevent them from understanding it. Humphrey was completely screwed. No matter what the other party asked, he could only agree to it with a pinch of his nose.

The Blood Demon Lord obviously understood this, and said in a gloomy tone: "Maybe it was the producer's private blackmail."

"Doesn't he know how poor I am?"

However, when Manfred heard the Blood Demon Lord, one of the most powerful people in the civil service system, say that he was "poor", he deliberately misinterpreted it and pretended to have low emotional intelligence and joked:

"...Maybe he doesn't understand your poor life of 81,000 gold coins a year."

"Hahahaha!"

After being choked by Manfred, the Blood Demon Lord had no way to get angry at Manfred. He had to look tense and suppress his emotions to seek Manfred's help: "Bernard, what should I do?"

"Keep your mouth shut from now on."

"You too! Bernard!" The Blood Demon Lord suddenly became angry, subconsciously trying to force Manfred to submit, and shouted: "Don't mention a word to anyone! Anyone!"

"It is my duty to tell (the Prime Minister)..."

"Bernar! I—"

However, as he was speaking, the Blood Demon Lord suddenly lost his confidence, because he knew that he had made a big mistake this time, and he looked much more dejected.

When he thought about how all his achievements and efforts might cause him to be forever away from the center of power because of this incident, the Blood Demon Lord couldn't help but feel extremely regretful. He asked as if he was about to cry, "Berna, what should I do..."

At this time, Manfred did not seem to be very nervous, but the flustered Blood Demon Lord did not notice his abnormal calmness. He only heard Manfred say:

“Perhaps you should make a statement in the media expressing your sympathy for the unemployed?”

"...Empathy?" The Blood Demon Lord thought he had found a lifeline and asked subconsciously. However, he never expected that Manfred would seriously add to the attack:

"Well, you're almost joining them."

“Hahahahaha!”

“Hahahaha! Help, help me! My stomach hurts! Cough cough cough cough!”

On Chen Qi's side, she was laughing so hard that she held her stomach and rolled off the sofa. But even so, it did not stop her from laughing so happily. Her face became extremely rosy as if the temperature in her body was boiling.

Even Xi's face turned red, and she covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from laughing too wildly. Her willow-like waist had already made her head bend almost to her knees.

"What a nasty guy, always trying to make me look bad..."

However, although Xi thought so in her heart, the tail behind her had been intentionally or unintentionally slapping Chen Qi not far away. Obviously, Xi, who was laughing so happily, was in a very good mood.

Such a time... is not bad, at least, shorting can temporarily stop worrying about the "year-old" thing. Xi thought so in his heart, and forgot his fear for a short time.

Chapter 165: Bernard, you really have a bright future!

"Hahaha! Interesting, very interesting. Humphrey has no one to help him now. This kind of insect should have been kicked out long ago!"

On the other hand, the Duke of Windermere, who had been extremely angry about Lord Blood Demon's proposal, quickly became in a good mood after Lord Blood Demon was defeated. His originally stern face revealed a rare bright smile.

"I told you, it's a shame you don't watch Yes, Prime Minister, Windermere."

The Duke of Wellington also smiled at the moment. As one of the grand dukes who paid attention to the TV series "Yes, Prime Minister" from the very beginning, the Duke of Wellington knew the charm of this drama too well - this is a TV series that you can understand and laugh at regardless of your class and knowledge, and even the different systems and national conditions.

Although the higher your status, the easier it is to appreciate the key points of the show, but this show does not take the high-end elite route. Instead, it makes the characters in it as down-to-earth as possible, allowing the public to see that the existence they cannot contact is actually human like them.

This is a very important point. This TV series has changed the image of "people in high positions" in the minds of a large number of people.

Although the supreme rulers of many countries in the Terra continent themselves have strong bloodlines and strength, "Yes, Prime Minister" has indeed opened up a new world for all civilians.

Today, the image of the "person in power" in the hearts of many people on the Terra continent no longer seems so out of reach.

"Director Chen Qi's talent is truly beyond our imagination to explain the methods of governing a country and its internal struggles in a way that most people can understand and in the simplest terms."

"From now on, the eyes of Victorian people will be brighter than before... Although the impact is not great, we still need to take into account the opinions of the public."

"- This is your concern, old Wellington." The Duke of Windermere didn't care about it at all. His main energy was all on the military. He had to learn about internal affairs to prevent the others from joining forces to seize the military power.

However, this did not prevent her from appreciating Chen Qi. The Duke of Windermere had a good attitude towards the people - because she needed the support of the people and logistics to fight the war, she was extremely concerned about Victoria's current national strength recovery and the development of the army.

For her, she is willing to support anything that can benefit Victoria. And Chen Qi's TV series makes the Duke of Windermere feel that it will definitely help Victoria's future.

If at the beginning, the Duke of Windermere had some objections to the fact that she was going to award an honor to a foreigner and to hand over "that thing" to Chen Qi for safekeeping, then now her dissatisfaction has subsided a lot.

Back to the play, Manfred has once again found Prime Minister Hack, played by Tracy. Tracy is still worried about how to explain the wiretapping to the cabinet, and whether he should tell the truth.

"With all due respect, Prime Minister, you should treat the Cabinet as you would like them to treat you."

Manfred's implication was that it all depended on whether Theresis wanted the cabinet to sideline him or continue to tangle with him. If Theresis admitted his mistake this time, he would be easily discredited.

Once there is a mistake, there will be a second one. This time, Tracy was wrong because everyone in the cabinet concealed the news that "wiretapping is real" from him. If Tracy admits his mistake this time, then everyone in the cabinet will continue to hide it from him next time and make him repeat this mistake.

It was not known whether Theresis had heard Manfred's hint or was simply angry because the cabinet had kept things from him. He said without thinking for long:

"You are right. I must stick to what I said in the House of Commons."

When Tracy saw that Manfred had not left yet, he asked him about it, and Manfred told the Prime Minister about what happened in the interview with the Blood Demon Lord.

"Boring, right?" Tracy, who was deeply poisoned by "long and difficult sentences", had already guessed the result, but Manfred replied with a smile:

"In the beginning, yes. Then it got interesting. He became more and more outspoken."

"Humphrey? Outspoken?" Tracy seemed a little incredulous.

"Yes, he thought the interview was over and he was just chatting, but the tape was still spinning."

"He fell for this old trick?" Tracy was also a little shocked when he heard it, but after being shocked, he found it funny. As a former media person, he knew the tricks too well. He said, "All microphones should be treated as turned on. He doesn't even understand this?"

"As far as I know, he doesn't often appear on the radio." Manfred immediately explained for Lord Blood Demon. Although he was helping the Prime Minister, he had no intention of letting Lord Blood Demon resign.
