For the citizens of Raging City, today is as exciting as a roller coaster. In the morning, major newspapers published the news of the World Bank's investment in the hydrogen airship project, which eliminated the negative impact of the Changxiang-class hydrogen airship accident and made the public more aware of hydrogen.

The airship regains confidence.

However, major newspapers quickly rushed to publish the latest announcement from the World Bank, which dealt the most fatal blow to all investors.

This time the hydrogen airship project was thrown to the ground like a broken bowl by the World Bank. It is really over and no one can revive it.

When Speaker Grover and Yomington met with Ivan and wanted to make a last-ditch struggle, Luke came to Senator Ibur's mansion.

At Luke's request, Councilor Ibur invited all the reputable businessmen of Raging Waves City to his home, including two other capitalist councilors. These businessmen have all tasted the sweetness of new technologies and have a greater understanding of new technologies than ordinary people.

People worship it even more fanatically. They believe that the hydrogen airship is a wind outlet that can blow pigs into the sky, so they have invested a lot of money in the hydrogen airship project of the City Alchemists Association.

Now that the project has failed, all their money has been wasted.

According to Congressman Ibur's current political stance, it would have been impossible for him to invite so many business people to his home yesterday. But today... at least a quarter of them came uninvited.

The World Bank's attitude changed too suddenly. If no major events happened in the middle, it would be impossible for them to have a polarizing change in this investment. And in the city of Raging Waves, the people who can make the directors of the World Bank make such a decision are probably

Only Inspector Meteor has been creating miracles.

At this time, the hydrogen airship project not only involved money, but also condensed factional conflicts and political struggles. Under such a situation, the Princess Faction, headed by Inspector Meteor, had reached the point where it had no choice but to take action.

No matter what Inspector Meteor wants to do, it will be revealed today!

From now on, where the wind blows in Raging Waves City will affect everyone's property, and even their lives. Therefore, regardless of one's position, this meeting held by Inspector Meteor must be attended no matter what.

Councilor Ibur transformed his large living room into a large conference room. Because more people came than expected, many small seats were added, filling the originally spacious living room to the point where it was like an overloaded passenger bus. These large

Businessmen usually suffer from this kind of sin, but today they feel lucky to have a small bench here.

When the time was up, the Imperial agents closed all entrances and exits and stood guard around the venue.

Congressman Ibur first made a concise opening statement, and then invited Inspector Meteor to speak.

Luke came up and stood behind the podium.

"I believe everyone knows who I am, the Inspector of the Cape District Branch of the Imperial Secret Service in Nutao City... Yue Xing is also the only Inspector of the Secret Intelligence Service in Nutao City.

After taking office, I have done a lot of things beyond the scope of the Cape District. As for what additional tasks I have, you should all make your own guesses and judgments.

The empire is now very short of money, and most areas of the empire don't even have electric lights.

Okay, that's it for now. You should consider your position carefully after you go back.

Now let’s get down to business…”

Luke waved his hand, and Kylena picked up a stack of documents and placed them on the podium.

Luke took these documents and threw them down the stage one by one. The businessmen immediately circulated and read the documents after receiving them.

"My people investigated the City Alchemists Association. The original purpose was to find clues that they were suspected of murdering me. They found a lot of things that surprised me. What I showed you should be easy to see with your business acumen.

The problem.

In the City Alchemists Association, some people are making money from the hydrogen airship project. Most of your money was not invested in the research and development of the hydrogen airship, but was misappropriated for smuggling, futures trading, and even loan sharking. Then the profits and principal were transferred several times.

Finally, it all went into private pockets.

Some of you are aware of the operations here; some are involved; some are benefiting from it. But most of them are victims, and there are more victims in the entire city of Raging Waves, and even in the entire empire.

If this is a normal investment project, of course you will bear the risk if the investment fails. But if this is a normal investment project, there cannot be so many victims, nor can there be such a large loss of funds..."

After Luke paused, the businessmen in the audience started talking.

They all know that the City Alchemists Association has made great efforts to attract investment in the hydrogen airship, but due to the strength of their own circle and the Alchemists Association, they do not know how much money has been raised specifically for this project.

And when they saw the real amount, they were all frightened by the numbers above. If this thunder was successfully detonated by the meteorite inspector, the City Alchemist Association would be peeled off even if it didn't die.

At this time, the businessmen all understood that the purpose of Inspector Meteorite summoning them was to prepare to collectively force the City Alchemists Association into submission.

It's to force people like myself to take sides.

Money is very important to businessmen, but choosing the right team is even more important to them.

Are you leaning towards Inspector Meteor? Or are you supporting the City Alchemists Association?

Thinking about what Inspector Meteor said at the beginning, the Empire is really going to take back Raging Wave City!

But who can win this game?

The discussion in the venue gradually subsided, and everyone looked at the meteor again.

Luke knew that it was not that simple to persuade these human-like businessmen to follow him to the City Alchemists Association.

"If you think that I summoned you here to win you over... you are completely wrong. I just need you to be here at this time to let the City Alchemist Association know that you are here.

Now the retail investors in Nutao City have gone crazy, and the information that the City Alchemists Association engages in financial fraud has been spread. Angry people are attacking the City Alchemists Association, the City Government Affairs Department, and the City Court.

This time is different from the big parade caused by the destruction of the Furious Thunder Tower. If it is delayed until night, it will definitely turn into a city-wide riot. The Furious Wave Navy will take over the city, and the Empire can regain its possession of the Furious Wave City.

At this time, the City Alchemist Association needs your support more than me, and you need to stand up and agree to repay the losses of all investors for the Alchemist Association.

But you are all here with me, and you are more complete than I expected.

…”

Seeing the smile on Inspector Meteor's face, the businessmen felt like a sparrow chasing a sparrow out of a trap.

yes!

Although people like myself have invested money in the hydrogen airship project, such a small number of people will not be taken seriously by the City Alchemists Association. Although the money invested by those retail investors is not much, the number of them is extremely large.

Once these people are stimulated and lose their minds, they will inevitably form city-wide riots if they are incited again. Thinking of the city-wide parade organized by Inspector Meteor... Could it be that it was an experiment for today's situation?

play?

If it were true, Inspector Meteor would be terrible.

The Urban Alchemist Association is completely finished this time. When it needs the support of the city capital of Raging Wave City the most, the city capital is locked up here.

Once there is a big riot at night, the army will enter the city!

So……

When the businessmen were panicking, Luke said: "The implementation of martial law in Raging Waves City means that this city has become a war zone, which will cause a great loss of international credibility. Your industry and wealth will shrink to what it was decades ago, and some people will go bankrupt.

This is not my goal, nor is it the Raging Wave City that the empire wants.

According to the current situation faced by the City Alchemist Association, there will be no shortage of plaintiffs like you..."

Luke waved his hand again, and a group of imperial agents distributed documents and pens to the merchants.

"Everyone, this is an indictment against the City Alchemist Association for financial fraud. Sign your names, stamp your seals, and let the City Alchemist Association see who is their bread and butter.

I will negotiate with the City Alchemist Association on your behalf to calm down this incident as soon as possible. I assure you that in the new order of Raging Wave City in the future, your business will only get better and better, and no one will do it because of the past.

Being liquidated..."

The indictment was distributed to each businessman, and each one stood there holding a pen.

Signing means handing in a letter of declaration, which will create an irreparable rift with the City Alchemist Association. If you don't sign... the old system of Raging Wave City will most likely collapse in the impact of this incident. Do you still insist on taking this ship?

Look at Inspector Meteor on the podium and think about what he has done since he took office.

If you don’t know which side to choose, it’s better to choose someone who always wins.

Some businessmen signed their names on the indictment and stamped it with their alchemical seals. Seeing that the City Alchemists Association was gone, other businessmen also signed and stamped it.

Soon these heavyweight indictments were collected and concentrated in Luke's hands.

"Very good, very good... You made the right choice. Now that the meeting is over, you can leave, but I suggest you stay in the residence of Representative Ibur until the incident is really over. You probably don't want to go back.

, we have to face the people from the City Alchemist Association."

Luke took the indictment and left, leaving behind a room full of businessmen smiling bitterly.

Congressman Ibur walked up to the podium: "Inspector Meteor performed another miracle for us. To be honest with you, I don't know the purpose of his invitation to you.

He only told me to let the City Alchemist Association return to its rightful place. What the Alchemist Association has done in recent years has indeed gone too far!

Starting from tomorrow, our status with the Alchemist Association will change, and it is time to discuss how to handle the new relationship with them!"

…

Speaker Grover and Yomington did not get any results they wanted from the World Bank, and Pan's words cast a heavy cloud on their hearts.

No matter what Inspector Meteor wants to do, today is the best time.

Sitting in the car, Yomington said to Speaker Grover: "I don't understand. Meteor has been targeting the hydrogen airship project. Apart from destroying it and damaging the prestige of the City Alchemists Association, how much benefit can he get?

But the momentum he created is obviously a large-scale attack on the City Alchemist Association. Where is his attack point?"

Speaker Grover looked out the window melancholy: "I have spent most of my time doing research over the years. Not only have I hardly attended parliamentary meetings, I have even neglected the management of the Alchemist Association.

Gunther Valentin has been in charge of the hydrogen airship project...

I want to have a good talk with him when I get back.

Have you noticed something is wrong with the atmosphere in the city?"

Yomington looked out of the car and saw crowds of people gathering everywhere on both sides of the street. Someone was saying something, and soon the crowd became very excited.

This is not an isolated phenomenon. As the car drove along, there were such angry people everywhere.
