"These are no ordinary citizens; we must take strong measures!"
Inside the Twelve Brass Conference Hall, after listening to the report from his subordinates, Council President Frank slammed his fist angrily on the table in front of him.
What could possibly make someone like him, who prides himself on being elegant, do such a thing?
This shows just how bad the situation has become.
After a brief moment of anger, Frank regained his usual composure.
He turned to look at a Brass Nobles not far away and asked, "What's the Association's attitude?"
"They said that ordinary people's problems should be left to ordinary people to solve, and they refused to get involved."
"Outdated! What kind of time is this, and they're still clinging to those useless formalities!"
Even so, Frank knew the truth in his heart.
Once the Steam Branch actually helps them suppress the mob, other Branch will soon report the matter to the Headquarters.
Not only will the entire Steam Branch suffer as a result, but those who instigated the Steam Branch will also be in deep trouble.
Frank took a deep breath, then his gaze fell on three empty brass seats in the distance.
"What does the Church think? Haven't they resolved their internal problems yet?"
Out of respect for the General President, the Star Envoy Association cannot arbitrarily interfere in local affairs.
But the Gear Church is different, even though the Association also imposes some constraints on these Star Envoy organizations.
But if you're careful enough, they can still help you secretly.
But soon, Frank received another piece of bad news.
"Their situation is equally bad. The death of the Golden Knight Fischer was so suspicious that they could no longer suppress the voices within and had to report the matter to the Holy See the Mechanical God Cult above."
"Therefore, they will not do anything else unnecessary before the people from the Holy See arrive."
Upon hearing this, Frank irritably tugged at his bow tie.
"Damn it! All these troublesome things have suddenly appeared overnight!"
In fact, at this point, everyone realized that something was wrong.
First, Vivian launched a sudden attack on the Church.
Then came the sudden death of the Golden Knight Fischer.
Now it's the Rust Iron District rats that have suddenly rioted again.
Each of these three things is troublesome, and they all happened at the same time.
It's as if an invisible hand is secretly manipulating everything right now.
While Frank and the other Brass Nobles were pondering how to end the riot in the Lower City.
A Brass Nobles suddenly stood up with a 'whoosh'.
Seeing this, everyone, including Frank, turned to look at him.
"What happens?"
The Brass Nobles said in a trembling voice, " The Steam Branch said that Captain Shui Mo of the Fifth Squad..."
"Explain yourself! What happened to Captain Shui Mo?"
"Captain Shui Mo died at the Fifth Squad's base in the Gear Tower!"
"What?!"
Upon hearing this news, everyone's expression turned extremely grim.
Because compared to the previous three things, if this one is not handled properly...
They're all doomed!
It should be noted that six years ago, the Iron Dome Family, one of the four major families, was punished for arbitrarily mobilizing the Star Envoy Association resources of the Steam Capital and the Deep Blue Metropolis.
Afterwards, General President Enit, who had not left the headquarters for many years, personally came to his door.
This legendary Current Strongest Star Envoy of the modern era made no extra moves; he simply stood outside the ' Third Floating City - Quantum Fortress ' and waved his hand.
In an instant, at least a third of the Quantum Fortress was reduced to burning ruins.
The current situation has not yet reached the point of alarming the General President.
The fact that a squad leader died in his own territory is as egregious as slapping the face of the entire Star Envoy Association.
"Let's go! To the Gear Tower right now!"
Without any hesitation, the seven Brass Nobles present all stood up and headed towards the Gear Tower.
As viewers watched the frantic Brass Nobles on screen, comments rained down on the Dimensional Screen.
'Wait, Captain Shui Mo has already logged off?'
'Something's not right. Something feels off. How could so many things happen in one night?'
"Holy crap, this Plot Kill came faster than a rocket! One second I was watching a mob riot, the next second I'm showing this?"
Amidst the confusion of the Dimensional Audience, the scene shifts to the Fifth Squad's base.
In an instant, a shocking scene of death appeared before the eyes of Dimensional Audience.
The Shui Mo captain, who had shown a strong presence for several episodes in the Season 2 of Stellaris: Glimmer, was now impaled on the wall of the Fifth Squad with a sword.
A large amount of congealed blood covered the snow-white wall, making his corpse look like a 'flower' blooming on a cliff.
Seeing this, all the Dimensional Audience felt that ' Shui Mo ' was absolutely dead.
Meanwhile, the Stellaris Production Team gave a special close-up of the surrounding environment.
There were no sword marks, no trace of an explosion, and not even a single broken brick.
This is undoubtedly a clear message to all viewers that the Shui Mo died suddenly, or rather, died without any chance of fighting back.
This left the Dimensional Audience somewhat confused.
'Holy crap, this close-up of the environment clearly shows the production team is implying he didn't resist at all before he died!'
'It's chilling to think about! Who exactly could make Shui Mo stop resisting?'
'I'm guessing it's Branch President Liam! Only he has the ability!'
"Wake up, upstairs! If the Branch President wanted to kill a squad leader, would he nail him to the wall as a warning? He has a hundred ways to do it without anyone finding out."
"Yes, the current situation is clearly a deliberate provocation against the Steam Branch."
'Do you think it's possible that it could be the Mysterious Masked Man who appeared in the first episode, the one who resembled the Tiandao?'
'That's quite possible, considering that guy hasn't appeared since the first episode.'
Although the Dimensional Audience is not yet clear about the real reason for Shui Mo's death.
But there was one thing they were very clear about.
That was the sudden riot in the Lower City following the mysterious deaths of the Golden Knight and Shui Mo.
The three most powerful organizations in the Steam Capital — the Gear Church, the Twelve Brass Council, and the Steam Branch of the Star Envoy Association —are all embroiled in their own troubles.
The entire Steam Capital is about to descend into chaos!
Right beside the blood-stained wall where the Shui Mo corpse stood, Chen Xing and Tian Tiandao, who had completely shed all pretense, calmly watched their masterpiece.
That lifelike, Shui Mo -style corpse was so realistic it was indistinguishable from a real person.
" Tiandao, things have come to this point, shouldn't you be closing the net soon?"
Upon hearing this, Tiandao gazed at the gruesome Shui Mo of Shuimo not far away, adjusted his sunglasses, and laughed.
"Yes, indeed. It's time to close the net."
