Seeing that the majority of the comments were in support of the Coordinators, He Kui was somewhat surprised.
He had originally thought it would be a 70-30 split. It seemed that the series of terrorist attacks had successfully positioned the Coordinators as a vulnerable group in Orb.
And once they were seen as vulnerable, it would naturally evoke more sympathy from people. With proper guidance, this sympathy could gradually turn into a political trend, a form of political correctness.
Through this correctness, the status of Coordinators in Orb might gradually improve.
Although things can reverse when taken to extremes, within a certain limit, the benefits of this approach were obvious.
Thinking this, He Kui didn't respond but continued to watch the live broadcast on the screen.
The scene at the site had already descended into chaos.
The guards were trembling as they tried to draw their firearms.
They didn't know they were being broadcast live, nor did they know that the girl had a hidden microphone pinned to her chest.
"Don't move!" the girl shouted fiercely, her wine-red hair and heroic demeanor deeply resonating with the audience through the screen.
"Everyone, I really like her!"
"What a cool sister!"
"Those in their hands shouldn't be real guns, right? People can die, but don't hurt the big sister!"
"Indeed, Miss Cagalli is our guiding light!"
"Hmph! If they dare harm Yuna, no amount of lives would be enough to compensate!"
"Is the person above being sarcastic?"
"Who knows? I'll curse first and ask later."
Amid the heated online exchanges, the offline drama progressed to the next stage.
"I'm really one of your own!" Yuna said with a pitiful expression.
"Didn't you give me the intel to come here and arrest you?"
"Oh? No one told me. Why would you arrest me?"
Hearing the girl finally calm down, Yuna, feeling like he had narrowly escaped disaster, hurriedly said, "Last time, we were tricked by that little bitch Cagalli, and she exposed everything in the newspaper. Then my father said you could help me. As long as I arrest you, once I become the leader of Orb and Cagalli's husband, I'll definitely release all of you."
Like spilling beans, the entire plan was revealed live on television.
Upon hearing this, the comment section forgot about the "big sister" for a moment.
Cagalli, who was she? The up-and-coming young lady, the legitimate representative of the Asuha family.
And Yuna? A mere Seiran, not even part of the five great families.
Not only did he fail to take credit, but he also wanted to become Cagalli's husband and the leader of Orb? And once he became the leader, he would release all those terrorists?
This was undoubtedly dancing on the minefield of Orb's ordinary citizens.
Countless comments like "Drop dead" and "Scum of the earth" kept refreshing, overwhelming the eyes.
If Seiran succeeded, whether Orb would have a bright future was uncertain.
But one thing was sure: their respected Asuha family would never tolerate such desecration.
"Cut the signal!!!" Old Seiran, still in the car, screamed in despair.
"We can't. They've upgraded the firewall."
"..."
Hearing his confidant's words, Old Seiran lay back in the car seat on his way to the TV station, his face filled with despair.
The usually soft and comfortable seat no longer provided him any relaxation; instead, it felt like sitting on pins and needles.
"What should we do?"
By now, Orb's security forces were probably already looking for him.
But his entire family was here; there was no escape.
"That idiot!"
The bald man roared, slamming his hand against the reinforced glass. His hand hurt, but not as much as his heart.
A century of accumulation, just gone like this? As he did this, a roadblock formed by SWAT vehicles appeared ahead.
"Mr. Seiran?" the driver, also a confidant, asked softly with a look of resignation.
"Stop."
Old Seiran sighed deeply, wishing he could turn off the live broadcast but unable to do so.
Surrendering now might still buy some chance of survival for the rest of his family.
He didn't make that call again. After this incident, that person must have already fled.
Meanwhile, on the other side of Orb.
"Seiran, what a disgrace."
Lowe Guele Zala shook his head disdainfully as he watched the scene on the screen.
"Fortunately, we didn't cooperate deeply with them."
Mina said calmly.
"But I didn't expect that Cagalli could come up with such a sinister plan."
Seiran was, after all, a major family. Convicting them wouldn't be easy.
Now, they had not only lost public support but were also guilty of espionage.
Life imprisonment was inevitable.
And this move would also deter other families.
After all, this was too ruthless. In the future, if they wanted to cooperate with external forces, they would have to seriously consider whether they could afford the cost.
"The most crucial thing is the intelligence. How did they know? Even we, the Shadow People, didn't know about this."
Gin chuckled coldly. It seemed effortless, but without a high-level intelligence network, it would have been impossible to pull off.
"Cagalli, or rather the Asuha family, is much deeper than we imagined. Don't act rashly."
Although they had previously taken some credit from Cagalli, they had only gone so far.
If they were too deeply involved with the Seiran family, they would also face significant consequences.
Seeing her brother's sinister expression, Mina warned.
"Don't worry, I won't move until I figure it out."
As they spoke, Cagalli's expression had already turned livid.
"He actually!?"
Stammering, Cagalli was clearly furious with Yuna.
"Don't be angry. According to the news, Orb's security forces have already arrested the heads of the Seiran family and several others. Now we just have to wait for this drama to end."
Watching the screen showing Seiran and the other panicked young masters, He Kui chuckled.
These people were all in cahoots. The main culprit, Seiran, was obvious, but the other smaller families that followed suit would have to pay dearly to extricate themselves.
Of course, even if they paid dearly, the main culprits would still have to face the consequences.
Orb was Orb; the Asuha family would never tolerate others meddling.
On this point, the five great families stood firmly united.
This concerned their actual interests. At least until things reached that point, they wouldn't easily yield.
It's only natural that those who were once masters in their own homes wouldn't willingly become servants.
Dealing with these involved families would, of course, cause some damage to Orb, but compared to that, internal instability was far more dangerous.
"Hmph!"
The goddess of Orb was now glaring fiercely at Yuna on the screen.
"By the way, does Cagalli's promise to me still stand?"
Hearing He Kui's words, the previously angry girl's expression froze.
Then, seamlessly, her livid face turned rosy again.
"I said I'd consider it!"
"Then Cagalli, please keep considering."
While He Kui was joking around, things weren't going so well for Yuna.
