Mrs. Siciliana: Let's Make Executor Suffer First / Old Man, Get Ready to Work Under Your Own Daughter!
The other family representatives remained silent; in reality, many of them were not as principled as they appeared.
Instant death may not be frightening, but impending destruction will certainly cause panic and tension.
Every step the Rhodes Island takes is a death knell tolling.
If they were truly fearless, these family representatives wouldn't have attended this meeting; they would have already begun preparations.
They're just looking for scapegoats now, representing the fact that the families behind them are all vying for power. So expecting these insects to stand against Utopia is simply wishful thinking.
A scene flashed through Madame Sicily's mind:
While he was still directing and coordinating military preparations, these people had vowed to contribute their manpower and resources just the day before. However, once the Utopian army was at the city gates, they had all vanished without a trace, leaving him alone to face the artillery fire.
The entire meeting was dominated by the pro-war faction, with each family saying they would contribute a certain amount of money or manpower to defend against the enemy.
If a real fight breaks out, it would be considered quite good if each family could contribute even 1/10 of what they promised today.
However, Madame Sicily had no intention of actually fighting with Utopia.
There are now more than ten family representatives present, and all the family representatives have been assembled.
You've tricked me, so I'll trick you back. I'll use you all as a pledge of loyalty and send you all to Utopia.
No one knew that Madame Sicily had already made arrangements with Utopia. Master Huang promised to spare her life and grant her some status and property after the annexation of Siracusa.
It certainly won't be as good as it is now, but it's at least better than being homeless.
Moreover, the Order of Utopia is far more powerful than Order of Lateran, so it's not a bad thing that Siracusa has seen such a change.
After a long while, one of the families asked:
"Madame Sicily, what did the wolf say?"
Upon hearing what the wolf said, all the representatives present fell silent, looking at Madame Sicily with expectant eyes.
Unfortunately, the latter shook his head. "The wolf said it was powerless to help; this was something it couldn't contend with."
The Will of Siracusa is so powerful that even without Master Huang, just bringing out Little Tra could solo it.
If that doesn't work, add Anma. Sami is much larger than Siracusa and has faced greater crises in the past.
"So let's decide how many are in peace and how many are in war. One hand means war, two hands mean surrender."
A few minutes later, everyone made their decision. Most people chose to take a gamble, but in reality, they had already decided to run away.
However, one person did not express any opinion. Then, the family representative switched the headphones to speakerphone, and the voice of the head of the Saluzzo Family came through.
Alberto: "I was just wondering when this farce will end. A bunch of cowards. It doesn't matter if they don't raise their hands, I'm just on my family's territory anyway."
Upon hearing someone's mockery, the head of a family instructed his representative to speak:
"Who do we have here? It turns out to be the traitor among us. I heard your daughter, Lappland, is working as a lowly delivery clerk at Utopia's company. What a misfortune for our family."
Alberto laughed heartily, "It was indeed a misfortune for my family, but at least my daughter was still alive when you were all uprooted, and that's enough."
Given Lappland's character, Alberto felt he shouldn't have any grandchildren.
But he didn't care, since he was already dead anyway.
What do I care about the deluge after I'm gone?
Chapter 662 Madame Sicily: Let's first suffer the Chizui.
As for submission, the words "submission" and "groveling" do not exist in his dictionary.
Madame Sicily took in everything Alberto said.
She had also heard about Lappland and another little girl named Texas.
The two girls didn't have a good reputation in Siracusa because they left their families to join Utopia, which was a major enemy of all the families.
The reason Lappland joined Utopia is unclear, but Texas was completely desperate and just wanted to survive.
But given Utopia's usual practices, why were Texas and Lappland able to survive?
While these two individuals might not be considered utterly heinous, they were certainly ruthless killers. Although they were involved in clan feuds, the rule of law cannot be violated.
Why didn't Utopia deal with these two people?
Madame Sicily didn't want to delve too deeply into it; perhaps she saw an additional value in the two women.
In reality, it was just Master Huang protecting his own; there was no other reason.
As for the fate of the others, they should just find a hole and bury themselves, so as not to make things too difficult for Master Huang.
"Gentlemen, now that the vote has been cast, it's impossible for me to be an enemy of everyone. May we all live in peace."
Madame Sicily wanted to buy herself some time, so she said:
"However, Utopia hasn't directly shown any intention to attack before this, so let's go through the normal diplomatic process. There might still be a chance for things to turn around."
Take your time. By the time I've collected all your names, it will be too late.
People are often the most ruthless when they turn on each other.
If it weren't for the needs of the nation, Madame Sicily would have unified Siracusa long ago, and there would have been no need to consider the allegiance of these families.
Representatives from various families discussed amongst themselves. "Diplomacy... I've heard that the Utopia's Lord has a large number of wives. Perhaps we can curry favor with him. I remember that girl named Lavinia Falcone, who seems to have offended him before; she's from the Bellone Family, I think."
Upon hearing that his own affairs were also involved, the spokesperson for the Bellone Family immediately fell silent.
Lavinia, I never expected to get dragged into this at a time like this.
This incident caused quite a stir at the time. Lavinia dared to detain Master Huang's goods because she was pushed around by various families. She thought she had become too powerful, but she ended up running into a brick wall.
Several family leaders joked, "I remember this young lady is quite pretty. Maybe if we soften our stance and send her to Mr. Huang's side, Siracusa can escape this predicament?"
On the surface, it was indeed a joke, but in reality, they were already prepared to use Lavinia as a expendable resource.
The Bellone Family wanted to refuse, but even Madame Sicily was pressuring them. "Do as they say. Besides, the Bellone Family just raised both hands; isn't that what you wanted?"
Let's delay a little longer!
Madame Sicily now needs more time to stabilize these people; only in this way can she ensure that everything goes smoothly.
So now all that can be done is to make things difficult for Lavinia, and Madame Sicily believes that Huang Cao would never do anything to this poor little wolf.
Otherwise, when the Supreme Court Justice threatened Utopia, she should have paid the "price," instead of just shaving the heads of everyone in the Bellone Family.
In the latter part of the meeting, someone suddenly asked, "Lady Sicilia, didn't you propose a concept before, the City of Purity? Now that Utopia has arrived, shouldn't this project be terminated? It's just a waste of money anyway."
Madame Sicily had absolute control over Siracusa, but few people would confront her true cruelty and rage unless her bottom line was crossed.
Upon hearing this, Madame Sicily merely raised an eyebrow slightly. "I understand your concerns, but until now, not many people have submitted lists, so I haven't started preparing them, nor have I spent much money."
It seems best to take in the ordinary people first, starting with one point, and then gradually sweeping away the remaining gangs throughout Siracusa.
In Siracusa, every drop of water a person drinks and every bite of bread they eat bears the mark of their family.
It's either this family or that family.
After a family collapses, more families will inevitably spring up in other places in a short period of time, filling its ecological niche at an extremely fast pace.
If Utopia were to directly unleash a massacre, it might be able to curb this situation, but that's exactly what Madame Sicily wanted to avoid.
Because some family members were forced to join, their lives are not much better than those of ordinary people.
Madame Sicily didn't know how Utopia should handle these members; the manpower and time required to screen them one by one was simply too high.
Would the lord of Utopia really do that?
Is it really worth expending so much energy on a small country?
But in reality, it's a utopia far, far away.
After the Miss Doctor posted the job information, a group of Utopians who had just passed the civil service exam had already packed their bags and were ready to embark on their journey to Siracusa.
At this moment, these utopians were thinking: My practical points are the last hurdle before I can take up my post. Wait for me, I will definitely not let you be lonely in this faraway foreign land!
The bureaucracy in Utopia is characterized by efficiency and allocation of resources according to need.
Generally, they are trained in advance, but whether they can successfully take up their posts and bring honor to their families depends on their individual abilities.
Exams are not difficult for these gifted students; the real challenge lies in practical skills.
Just like studying medicine, patients will never get sick in the way described in books and textbooks.
Every country and region has its own unique circumstances, and systems cannot be copied exactly.
Therefore, in the utopian political system, practical experience is always of paramount importance.
The Miss Doctor used practical points as bait to recruit a group of extremely capable henchmen, which she then combined with her brilliant mind and near-perfect control.
This whole mess in Siracusa can be resolved in no time.
My main goal is to win over Master Huang; helping the Terra animals is just a way to increase my affinity with them.
Lavinia soon learned about what had happened at the meeting, and Madame Sicily also sought her out.
"So I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you for a while, Lavinia. We can't add any more work to the lord of Utopia. I don't know how much patience he has."
Madame Sicily searched every shop in Siracusa and finally found a maid outfit that wasn't too revealing.
However, this maid outfit doesn't come with stockings, so naturally, the legs are bare.
A blush crept across Lavinia's cheeks; she knew, of course, that Mr. Huang wasn't that kind of person.
But she was an overly serious person to begin with, and even wearing this dress made her feel shy, especially since she was later forced to participate in some "plot" scenarios.
So, won't this anger the Utopia's Lord?
Since they were all going to die anyway, the Siracusa family had started to desperately try anything, because these wolf cubs knew it too.
If Utopia truly wants to eliminate them, even if they fight to the death, they will have absolutely no chance of escaping.
Chapter 663 Old Deng, get ready to work for your daughter!
"It was just another perfectly normal day."
Last night's embrace was provided by Jie, while the Great Banshee embraced both Jie and Master Huang at the same time.
The others also stood close together, the older ones holding the younger ones, and the younger ones holding the even younger ones, all trying to get closer to Master Huang as the center.
Huang Cao always has to put in a lot of effort to crawl out of the crowd, while also trying to avoid accidentally brushing against places she shouldn't.
This will wake up the boss, and then you'll be served a free meal.
Fortunately, Master Huang was quite familiar with the route, and it was still early, so he quickly crawled out before anyone woke up.
After washing up, Huang Cao planned to have breakfast at the cafeteria with the Miss Doctor, as part of her daily routine.
After sending the message, I realized that he didn't seem to be awake yet, and he hadn't replied.
Early in the morning, Huang Cao saw Amiya and Hilda in the cafeteria.
"Amiya, Hilda, what are you doing here? Where are Presis and Doctor?"
"The older ladies are still sleeping, so we've come to buy some breakfast... Excuse me, could you please get us two insulated bags? Thank you!"
After having a simple breakfast, Huang Cao, leading the two rabbits, became playful and started checking their recent homework.
"Looks like you've been studying hard lately. Don't slack off!"
"Understood, Brother Acao."
After seeing the two little rabbits off, Miss Doctor strolled leisurely to the cafeteria.
When he met them on the road, he accepted the breakfast and sat down in front of Master Huang.
"Good morning, you smell really strange, all sorts of different scents."
"After all, I am a man burdened with sins."
"I can't be bothered with you. I thought about it for a long time last night, and now I've finally sorted things out. Are you ready on your end?"
"We're just waiting for your order, Doctor, then tens of thousands of Utopia Warrior can storm Siracusa and massacre the entire ruling class."
"It won't be that slow." The Doctor rolled his eyes. "Unless we completely surround Siracusa, the early stages might be fun, but finding people later will be a real headache. I don't want to investigate how many tunnels this country has."
Huang Cao: "I've already arranged that for you. They definitely won't be able to escape. My Utopia officials have already arrived. The next step is just screening; I'll keep them under control for you."
"You're quite righteous in your actions; you wouldn't just leave me with a mess."
