My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2033: Victory Without Losing a Single Soldier

"Come in." He pressed the communication number of the guard outside, and soon an aide named Deep Sea, who always followed him closely, walked in. "Go to Stardust Academy and delete all attendance records of a student named Jun Yiyi!"

Deep Sea nodded and went off to carry out the order without saying a word.

This person served as both a secretary and a bodyguard, possessing great ability, extensive knowledge, and considerable strength and methods. He was a reliable assistant helping him familiar with governmental affairs and everything in the Imperial City. Whenever a task was assigned to him, he would handle it efficiently without speaking unnecessarily.

...

That night, the entire city was restless. Explosive news continuously bombarded the television viewers: the truth about the school massacre, various exposés revealing the true intentions of the Grand Councilman were shocking, inciting public outrage and a strong sense of deception.

The figure they respected as a great hero was, in fact, an ambitious man, dissatisfied with merely sitting as the Grand Councilman. He schemed to take the Queen’s life, aimed to overthrow the nation’s rule, and wanted to bring the Aus Empire under his control.

The horrifying school massacre, according to reliable video evidence, occurred because he heard important members of the Queen’s faction were hiding in the school. To suppress the Queen’s faction, he sealed off the entire school and killed the rebellious students. The Grand Councilman’s cruel methods, driven by his ambition, were truly unbearable.

Online discussions were boiling over; many impassioned youths, fueled by anger, were typing furiously on their keyboards, swearing to protest and signing a petition on the government’s website, demanding the Grand Councilman step down!

This trend, like a sweeping tornado, quickly spread throughout the Aus Empire. Overnight, Grand Councilman Halian Jing fell from a heroic figure of national economic strength to a reviled demon, wished to be cast into the deepest hell.

"Your Majesty, the bloodshed indeed caused a national uproar, triggering their overwhelming anger. Watching those videos of the Councilman’s soldiers shooting students, nobody disbelieves the bloodbath was orchestrated by the Grand Councilman’s faction. Now, with Halian Jing’s scandalous stain, not even jumping into the Yellow River can cleanse him. His support rate will undoubtedly plummet. So far, the online petition demanding the Grand Councilman’s resignation has gathered millions of signatures. This move has given us an overwhelming advantage in public opinion." Governor Yun respectfully spoke to the Queen on the throne, his steady voice unable to hide excitement and fervor.

As long as the Grand Councilman was brought down and the Queen’s family took full control, he, as an important minister assisting the Queen, would surely become a meritorious figure.

He would inevitably rise smoothly through the ranks, replace the Grand Councilman, and become the new Grand Councilman of this nation. By then, he’d be a powerful minister second only to one. Governor Yun would transform into Councilman Yun! Just thinking about such a glorious future, standing atop the world’s most powerful nation, commanding the elements, felt incredibly exhilarating.

"Your plans this time were very successful; it can be said you created a bloody path amidst the stalemate, turning the hearts of the people toward supporting me."

The Queen’s dignified and somber face remained calm and composed. This massacre was a high-stakes gamble that, with almost no effort, inflicted a significant loss on the Grand Councilman’s faction.
