"What explanation does Count Kai Xuan have for this!"
Liu Kai Xuan responded with contempt, "I just want to say, Makan is a stupid pig!"
"If it were the empire's law enforcement department inspecting my transport convoy, I would naturally cooperate with the inspection!"
"Since when has the transportation inspection work of the Kaia Kingdom been handled by the army?"
...
That afternoon, Liu Kai Xuan, facing a large number of media reporters, shifted the main responsibility for this incident entirely onto Grand Duke Makan.
Grand Duke Makan's reaction was also swift.
The next morning, Grand Duke Makan held a press conference! 138 Reading Network
Grand Duke Makan claimed at the press conference that the imperial army had coincidentally encountered Liu Kai Xuan's transport convoy during their patrol mission.
Petroleum transportation is considered dangerous goods transportation and requires strict control.
Grand Duke Makan stated that the imperial army's stop and search of the transport team was a legitimate act.
At the same time, Makan solemnly declared that the purpose of doing so was also to protect the safety of the empire.
Grand Duke Makan had immense influence in the Kaia Empire.
The number of minor nobles obedient to him was also enormous, and those who supported him naturally formed large groups.
As if overnight, major authoritative media outlets in the empire began pointing the finger of blame at Liu Kai Xuan.
Simultaneously, some "experts" in the Kaia Kingdom also offered professional commentary on the matter.
Almost all experts unanimously agreed that Liu Kai Xuan's actions had challenged the authority of the imperial army.
At the same time, these individuals unanimously requested that the King severely punish Liu Kai Xuan!
As the situation escalated and became unmanageable,
Liu Kai Xuan approached Luom and decisively issued his orders.
"Luom, take the Luom team, change into ordinary civilian clothes, and go assassinate that idiot Makan tonight!"
"Yes, my lord, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
Afterward, Liu Kai Xuan handed some of Makan's information to Luom.
According to the latest news, Grand Duke Makan was scheduled to hold another briefing session at his ducal manor tonight.
At the briefing session, Grand Duke Makan would invite the parties involved to conduct a detailed review of the conflict event from a few days prior.
There were a total of 7 parties involved invited by Makan.
Among them were five soldiers and officers from the 75th Brigade, and two soldiers who had defected from Liu Kai Xuan's guard.
Upon accepting the mission, the five members of the Luom team immediately changed into civilian clothes and rushed to the ducal manor!
All five members of the team were robots, capable of running at high speeds and without feeling fatigue.
They covered a distance of over a hundred kilometers in just one hour.
Because this mission was an assassination,
to ensure the success of the mission, they had to find a way to infiltrate the manor.
The manor was open to the public today for Grand Duke Makan's briefing session.
It was not difficult to enter the manor, but the security within the manor had not ceased its operations.
To enter the villa's main hall, one had to pass an identity check.
Either one had to be an imperial noble or a media reporter.
Civilians with no background information could only move within the manor gates at most and could not enter the hall.
For the Luom team to successfully complete the assassination mission, they needed to create an identity for themselves to infiltrate.
If they directly forced their way into the hall, it would very likely cause a stampede.
In that case, assassinating the target would become much more difficult.
The construction of great noble manors was also meticulously designed by imperial craftsmen.
It would be extremely difficult to find a sniper position on the periphery to take out a target within the manor.
After surveying the scene, Luom decided to disguise her team.
They found a restroom within the manor and, inside the restroom, changed into pre-prepared noble attire.
With the gowns ready, the five members of the Luom team were all transformed, becoming beauties with both looks and temperament.
Unfortunately, relying on looks and temperament alone was not enough to fool the guards at the entrance.
The guards checked for identification, and all five members of the Luom team were currently civilians.
As Luom stood anxiously at the entrance of the hall, waiting,
she suddenly noticed a man full of fat leering at her.
"Hmph!" Luom immediately snorted and turned away. The gaze of that fat pig made her feel disgusted.
"Whose little sister is this?"
The fat man behind her, noticing the extraordinary temperament of the beautiful girl, was immediately aroused and walked up to strike up a conversation.
"Why are you standing at the entrance of the hall, are you waiting for someone?"
Luom immediately replied, "I'm here to attend the press conference today!"
"But we left in such a hurry that we forgot our invitation at home!"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
The fat man's interest was piqued, "So you beautiful ladies are all reporters!"
"May I ask which media organization you are reporters for?"
Luom immediately replied, "We are reporters for the Green Leaf Fashion Magazine!"
"Green Leaf Fashion, I've never heard of it?"
Luom patiently explained, "That's because our magazine is newly established!"
"We aren't famous enough yet, so it's not surprising that an esteemed gentleman like yourself wouldn't know of us!"
"So that's how it is!"
The fat man said with a chuckle, "In that case, ladies, I'll escort you into the hall!"
"Yes, that would be greatly appreciated, sir!"
Luom was already worried about how to enter the manor hall, and now that someone was offering to lead the way, it was incredibly timely.
The fat man, of course, would not help for free. He led Luom into the venue.
After Luom agreed to his request, the fat man immediately reached out his lecherous hand and put it around Luom's neck.
To successfully enter the hall, Luom smiled and nodded, accepting this fact.
Then, the fat man continued, "My dear lady, I am Viscount Hei He of the Kaia Kingdom!"
"Why don't you stay by my side from now on? I'll provide you with wealth and a good life!"
"And your little sisters can also enjoy wealth and prosperity by my side!"
"Working as a reporter is too hard, always out in the wind and rain, sigh!"
Luom nodded and smiled, "Thank you very much, Viscount!"
"However, this matter is of great importance, and I need to consider it carefully!"
"After I've considered it, I'll give you a definitive answer, how about that?"
"Haha..."
Hei He chuckled and said, "Naturally. How about after the meeting, I send someone to escort you back!"
"We'll provide a generous settlement for your families!"
"From now on, you and your little sisters will enjoy wealth and prosperity by my side, wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Luom merely smiled at Hei He's suggestion and said nothing!
