Qin Ze remembered him.
The man is the manager of this hotel.
He was the one who received me before.
The hotel is a royal property.
Now it's all burned to the ground.
I wonder if men will lose their jobs in the future.
Qin Ze explained, "I got separated from the crowd after I came out."
I'm not familiar with the area.
"It took us a long detour to get back."
Seeing that Qin Ze was unharmed, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"After learning about the hotel's situation, the Fifth Prince contacted me several times to inquire about you."
"Let me report back to the Fifth Prince first."
The man walked a short distance away, took out his communication device, and called the Fifth Prince.
Two Imperial Guard soldiers then approached.
One of the captains asked, "Sir, did you see anyone acting suspiciously just now?"
"Especially those from other ethnic groups."
The badge on the captain's chest emitted a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy.
In an instant, a Vast Righteous Qi descended upon Qin Ze.
He couldn't help but think that he had encountered Zhan Li, who was acting suspiciously, in the alley.
Qin Ze then distributed this mental energy impact evenly among his clones.
That feeling of wanting to tell the truth disappeared.
"No." Qin Ze shook his head.
The captain kept his eyes fixed on Qin Ze's, but didn't notice anything unusual.
"Excuse me, sir."
Just as Qin Ze had predicted.
That badge functions similarly to Law Token.
However, its strength is not as high as that of the Law Token.
"My lord, I have already informed His Highness that everything is safe."
"Now I'll take you somewhere else to rest."
After the man finished his report, he led Qin Ze to a car parked by the roadside and drove to a hotel a few blocks away, also a top-floor luxury suite.
"It's getting late, adults should get some rest."
"You can contact me through the front desk with any questions or needs."
"His Highness will send someone to fetch you to the palace tomorrow morning."
After escorting Qin Ze to his room, the man respectfully withdrew.
"Xiao Wu is indeed a very polite person."
Qin Ze muttered something, walked to the window, and pulled the curtains open a little.
This room is even higher than the previous one, offering a panoramic view of almost the entire capital.
Right now, within his field of vision alone, there are more than a dozen places on fire.
"Again?"
The feeling of being secretly observed washed over me again.
Qin Ze couldn't help but admire him.
This guy is really persistent.
"Watch it if you want."
Qin Ze casually drew back the curtains, choosing to simply give up.
He didn't do anything shameful.
Lying in bed, Qin Ze picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
They were broadcasting a live stream of the city-wide arson attack.
Facing the camera, the female reporter, with red eyes and sobbing, described the situation at the scene.
"According to current information, 23 locations within the capital, including the Imperial Guard Imperial Guard headquarters, outposts, railway stations, power plants, and communication towers, have simultaneously been engulfed in flames."
"The death toll continues to rise. The perpetrators were all foreigners, but thanks to the Imperial Guard Guard's efforts, the vast majority of them have been brought to justice..."
The scene then shifts to the Imperial Guard's arrest operation.
The Imperial Guard charged relentlessly, and the foreigners were skewered like candied hawthorns.
Some onlookers cheered loudly.
Qin Ze frowned.
Many elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people.
They could barely walk; could they be arsonists?
Qin Ze was unaware of how the Maka People had previously treated outsiders.
Judging from tonight's events, things don't seem to be looking too good.
The pent-up emotions of the outsiders are about to erupt, and tonight is just the beginning.
Furthermore, the Imperial Guard ' indiscriminate slaughter of foreign tribes made the situation a fight to the death.
Qin Ze turned off the TV.
The development of civilization requires taking one step at a time; there are no shortcuts.
The Maka Race are a living example.
"I discovered something quite interesting at the palace."
Suddenly, Thousand Faces's voice rang out on the Local Area Network; this guy had sneaked into the palace again.
Qin Ze covered himself with the blanket and pretended to be asleep.
"Explain."
Thousand Faces said, "The Fifth Prince didn't grow up in the palace; he returned two and a half months ago."
"The old emperor only revealed to the public before his death that he had an illegitimate child with Blue Flame People. The outside world had been searching for him until he was finally found more than two months ago."
"However, the old emperor had already passed away by then, and the father and son never met."
It was as if a bolt of lightning had suddenly struck Qin Ze's mind.
The previously disorganized information was instantly connected.
He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "It's not just the old emperor I haven't seen..."
Thousand Faces continued, "After the old emperor died, the empire fell into turmoil, and foreign tribes stood up one after another demanding the same citizenship rights as the Maka People."
" The Asylum Act states that all homeless people Maka Race will have citizenship rights, but the details are ambiguous, and in practice, it's even more obvious to those who understand."
"The Fifth Prince is of mixed race with the Maka Race people. After returning to the royal family, he was quickly thrust into the spotlight. The other tribes felt that the Fifth Prince could represent them, and some even wanted to make him king."
"Now comes the interesting part."
The fifth prince, who claimed he had no interest in the throne, proposed the " Equality Act."
The core message is about equality for all.
"Whether you are Maka People or a foreigner, we are all the same."
"The most crucial point of the bill is that each Imperial Parliament must allocate one-third of its seats to foreigners."
Previously, only the Blue Flame Race had a number of seats in the Imperial Parliament; the other races were truly inferior and didn't even deserve to touch the threshold of the Council.
Qin Ze knew that the Fifth Prince wasn't as innocent as he seemed.
Thousand Faces continued, "The legislative procedure in the Maka Empire is that the emperor, princes, and Council can propose bills."
"There are two ways for the new bill to pass smoothly."
"First, it required a two-thirds majority vote in Council."
"Or a national referendum, where a majority of the population votes in favor."
"A national referendum should take higher priority than Council vote."
"Over the years, the Maka Race has continuously absorbed wanderers, and the Blue Flame People originally moved here with their families, so their total number has long exceeded that of the Maka People."
Whether the bill will pass or not is obvious to anyone.
"The day before the bill's referendum, the Imperial Army from the Southern Continent entered the Northern Continent, ostensibly to suppress the rebels."
"The war has been going on until now, and the referendum on the Equality Act has been abandoned."
Everything has been sorted out.
The identity of the fifth prince as an imposter in the palace has been confirmed.
This includes why everyone believed he was the fifth prince, and why he insisted on impersonating him.
Now all the answers are clear.
There was still one thing Qin Ze couldn't understand.
Why did they invite him?
Is it really just for Fire Movement Technique?
Perhaps we'll find the answer when we go to the palace tomorrow.
"Film..."
The next day, a small cart of breakfast was delivered to the room.
Qin Ze still threw about half of the food into his storage ring.
The Fifth Prince's men had been waiting outside the hotel for quite some time.
Qin Ze went downstairs, got into the car, and began his second visit to the palace.
