Although Director Cullen, who is the head of the investigation team, has not announced any investigation process or details to the outside world, his final explanation was already extremely explosive.

If the arrest of six bishops in the auditorium yesterday can be seen as the whip of local regional order declaring war on the regional management office, then Director Cullen's words at the press conference today can already be seen as

The charge was officially launched.

There is no temptation, no reservation, what is presented is: either you die or I die.

Not long ago, the Naton family could be seen as a multi-party political game. In the end, the Naton family was sacrificed in exchange for a new round of balance of power with a common understanding, and it was just a bishop;

This time, the six bishops were directly attacked. It was no longer a political game, but more like one party launching an extermination attack on the other party.

As the spokesperson, Director Karen, covered his mouth and coughed, and then left the venue very weakly with the support of his subordinates, today's press conference ended.

What followed was the explosive spread of this news. Other regions, including the Dingge region, still had some buffer space. At least everyone could meet up to discuss the matter over tea and analyze the politics behind it.

The direction of the wind and the actions you and others need to take.

And the York City Region... fell directly into a semi-standstill state.

These six bishops are basically in charge of a department each. The personnel of the department and their own factions are naturally in a state of complete confusion at this time. Who can continue to work normally?

The remaining bishops and department heads were also greatly shocked at this time. They even felt that they would receive an investigation order from the Whip of Order and be taken away together.

In short, after this press conference, the water that was already constantly popping out small bubbles finally...

It's boiling.

…

When Minister Bernie walked down the aisle and came to Karen's office door, Philomena who was sitting there stood up, raised her hand, and stopped him.

If it was just a simple obstruction, that would be enough, but unexpectedly, Bernie also saw Philomena holding a knife in her other hand.

Bernie almost laughed out of anger and asked: "What, are you still worried that I will do something in this building?"

Philomena nodded and replied:

"Well, yes."

Philomena was only afraid of Karen. She could admit that she couldn't defeat the others, but she really had no fear.

For example, when facing Mrs. Tang Li, she knew that the old lady had disliked her earlier, and she also understood that the old lady seemed to have the ability to kill herself with two slaps, but she still did not choose to do it with her.

Deliberately becoming "well-behaved and sensible" in front of others.

In Alfred's words, among the two groups of "believers" he developed, the most devout in behavior was probably Philomena.

Murry is more rational, Ventura is more emotional,

Only Philomena,

When something happened, she would come right up without saying anything!

"Squeak..."

At this time, the door of the office was opened from the inside, and Alfred stood at the door: "Mr. Minister, please come in."

Bernie walked in, and Karen, who had already changed into a clean divine robe, was sitting behind the desk, flipping through the investigation reports, mainly Bishop Yedell's files.

"Let me help you treat your injury." Bernie took the initiative to walk towards Karen.

"No, Sir Minister." Karen chose to refuse, "The injury is not serious."

"But I see that you look very weak on the podium, so it would be better for you to get checked out."

"That's what I pretended to be." Karen smiled, "There are some traces of acting."

"So you directed and performed the assassination yourself?"

"You have already guessed it, why are you still asking?" Karen shrugged, "But the assassin is real and was captured alive. The Night God Sect is a traitor lurking in our sect. It's a genuine one. You don't need to interrogate it.

Yes, trust me, it won’t bring any work burden to you.”

Karen's very frank attitude made Bernie a little at a loss. Of course, he knew better that this kind of frankness was based on a complete lack of pretense.

He calmed down for a while, pulled out his chair, and sat down opposite Karen.

Karen took the initiative and asked: "What would you like to drink? Can ice water be used?"

"Can."

Karen pointed to the cabinet over there: "The water is below and the ice cubes are on the cabinet."

Bernie stood up, walked to the cabinet, poured two glasses of ice water, walked over, and placed one glass in front of Karen.

"You're welcome. I just asked you if you needed anything. I'm not thirsty."

"Why, are you afraid that I will poison the water?"

"Yes." Karen nodded, "After all, you can do anything."

"I should be the one to say this to you. You have gone crazy twice, Karen!"

Karen shook his head and said: "Actually, this is the only time. Wasn't my behavior the last time done under your instructions?

You cannot blame me, the first office director, for the mischief of the second office director. As a superior, rewards and punishments must be clear."

"I order you now to stop and let this matter cool down. Do you know that if you do this, the regional management office will take action soon? Do you think that a chief can suppress it?"

"Actually, I don't care about the actions over there. What I care more about is when the manpower needed for my investigation can be gathered.

So far, there are only three Whip of Order teams that have come to report in response to my order, which is far from enough, I need at least thirty."

"Not everyone wants to go crazy with you, Karen."

"In half an hour, my deputy director will help me announce the inability to mobilize the Whip of Order team. I believe those reporters will be happy to report this matter.

A young director of the Whip of Order who was devout to the "Ordinance of Order" dared to attack the bishops. Not only was he assassinated, but during the investigation, his manpower was also restricted by his superiors.

How difficult it is for him, it seems that both sides are suppressing him, and they don't want this young man with a sense of justice to break this seemingly beautiful tacit understanding."

“The Order is not the York City Sun;

There are not so many naive people in the church circle. Don’t use the methods of secular society to get in. You won’t be able to get away with it. Karen, this world is not as simple as you think.”

"No, no, no, I have never doubted the complexity of this world, but I still choose simplicity."

"Is this your revenge?" Bernie asked, "retaliation for my arrangements for you at the commendation meeting?"

"You won't believe it. In fact, I am more following the Order Regulations. Of course, I do not rule out the impact of your behavior that day on my decision."

Bishop Bernie stood up and looked at Karen: "Okay, I will arrange the manpower for you. In my name, I will ask the district chief to recruit all the Whip of Order teams in the York City region in the name of the whip bearer.

As well as the Whip of Order teams from other nearby regions, they all come to you and obey your orders."

"Thank you for your support in my work, Mr. Minister."

"I hope you can achieve results as soon as possible. Otherwise, you won't be able to continue assassinating yourself during the press conference in the next few days. There are not enough traitors for you to use."

"Yes, I have a headache too. Mr. Minister, maybe you can give me the complete file on Bishop Yedel first. In that case, I will be very grateful to you."

"I've already asked someone to give it to you."

"But there is no other useful information in the file except some personal moral issues of Bishop Yedel and his family."

"That may mean that Bishop Yedel himself has no big problem, and we have wronged him?"

"However, this investigation was launched in your name. If the investigation cannot continue smoothly, you will be the most affected."

"I'm ready to be reprimanded or even punished, really."

"Don't be so pessimistic, Mr. Minister, as your excellent subordinate, I will not let you fall into such a situation, I promise."

"Okay, I'm looking forward to it."

Bernie turned and left.

Vic walked out of the inner room. He had just listened to all the conversations and said, "Director, you have him under control."

Karen shook his head and said: "No, he changed his strategy."

"Changed strategy?"

"Although I don't know why the people above him ordered him to punish me, but after Neo flipped the table, his mission is now very clear, which is to kill this fire in the York City area as quickly as possible.

Put it out.

But he could no longer put out the fire from the source because of my lack of cooperation and because I had just added a fire.

Look, next, he will show the illusion of strongly supporting my work and create such a momentum.

Because there is another way to extinguish the fire quickly, which is to accelerate the burning. When the wood is gone, the fire will be extinguished."

Vic looked thoughtful and sighed: "His reaction is so fast?"

"He is not a simple person to begin with. Before the commendation meeting, Neo and I were still discussing how to help him get promoted so that we could be promoted together, because both Neo and I felt that he was an outstanding person.

Your boss, at least, won't hold you back.

So, I thought about it all day and night, and I couldn’t figure out why he wanted to persecute me?"

"My subordinates feel that we can not consider this issue for the time being."

"Yes, you are right. Let's get some practical results first, otherwise we will really run out of firewood. Have you contacted Laon?"
