19. Detonation
Jeremiah instantly went from head to toe.
"Jeremia, let me explain to everyone, if it was really as you said, it was the Suzaku who killed Kulovis, then why is Kulovis's body in my hands?"
This ZERO is actually the real murderer who killed His Highness!
Damn it!
Now that His Highness's body is in his hands, this is a fact that cannot be refuted in any way. Then the only way to do this now is to take away the corpse of this man in black and His Highness first, stop the activity, and then find another explanation!
Right! In that case...
The crisp sound of "ding" was very clear in the dead silence.
This kind of voice is familiar to Jeremia as a soldier, it is the sound of a grenade safety bolt hitting the ground!
Sure enough, a small black thing appeared in the hand of the man in black, and he threw it around one by one, so you can catch me and try it.
If you attack him now, then His Highness's body will be γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
No way!
In front of this public eye, you must not be charged with defiling the body of Your Highness!
"Now it's clear to everyone that it wasn't the Suzaku who killed Kurovis, but me, ZERO."
The crowds on both sides were suddenly thrown into chaos.
The murderer of His Royal Highness has already brought ironclad evidence, and the murderer himself is still at large, so he must have chosen to make a big move by choosing to appear on such an occasion, and it is no wonder that they will panic.
"You don't have to worry about your safety, I'm different from the Imperial military, and I will never harm innocent people."
"That's nice, where's the hostage behind you?!"
Jeremia immediately retorted.
"Hostages? They are not hostages, the real 'hostages' are in front of your eyes. Culovis's corpse, isn't that what you want to buy? β
"Huh?" Jeremiah didn't react.
What to buy?
"It's so hard to see, do you still want to deny it? Didn't you want to buy Kulovis's body from me to cover up the incompetence of the army? β
AS HE SPOKE, ZERO BECKONED, AND THE SCREEN SWITCHED TO A BANK CREDENTIAL.
Exactly two million.
The remitter clearly wrote that the military department had sent the money, and the Count of Jeremia had personally approved it.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Right! That's it! That's it!
Diethart was so excited that he couldn't control his facial muscles with excitement, so much so that now his smile was slightly hideous.
I see! Now it's all clear!
That assassin didn't want money at all! What he really wants is this credential!
A piece of evidence that can completely destroy the hearts and minds of the people in the military department!
This is to dig the foundation of the Air Force directly from the most fundamental place!
The corpse of Kulovis, and this money transfer slip.
No matter how stupid people are, they can deduce what happened from this.
His Highness died at the hands of this terrorist who called himself ZERO, and the military department could not catch him, so they had to find Suzaku Shuki as a substitute for the dead. Not only that, but the military department even spent money to buy corpses to cover up their shame!
The army of the Reich is actually going to send money to terrorists?!
Go buy back the remains of their Royal Highness the Third Prince?!
Jeremia is completely finished.
The military headquarters of the 11th district is completely finished!
Yes, the assassin also counted him, but what does it matter? As the other side said, Jeremia has no evidence at all.
The crowd behind him erupted in a monstrous roar, and Diethardt felt like a boat in the middle of a great wave, scorching public opinion and frenzied anger threatening to drown him at any moment.
At this point in life, what more can a husband ask for!
Come on, let me watch a little more, and put on a show a little longer!
Don't let this party end!
"Diethardt !!"
Jeremiah's eyes were red, and he looked at him as if he was going to eat him alive.
"You're a guy!"
"Oh? Jeremia, do you think the blame is on the innocent? It's like you framed Suzaku Tree. β
ZERO INTERRUPTED.
"You! γ»γ»γ»β
"I thought you were at least a soldier, and that's what the Imperial Army does? Winning the battle is your own credit, and when the ugly thing is exposed, you will take the innocent person to blame. Ladies of Britannia, do you see the faces of your soldiers now?
Yes, I killed Kulovis, your third prince, but I killed him on the battlefield with dignity. It is for him that he slaughtered thousands of people of Shinjuku, those innocent people who were unarmed! This is not something that humans should do, this has gone beyond the bottom line of human beings! So I killed him.
As a result, I became what the Imperial military called a 'terrorist'.
The ordinary people of Shinjuku, maybe you call them eleven, maybe they call themselves Japanese, but in my eyes you are all 'people' like me.
Those who kill must pay! And innocent people should never die in vain!
So now, I have to save the Suzaku of the Pivot Tree! β
This is simply the best 'leader'! Best Speech!
"Mr. Lead! Now things are not good! Are we..."
Diethardt's assistant looked at the crazy crowd on both sides of the road and alerted his boss in fear.
"What are you kidding, how can I γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» this is the picture I've been waiting for all my lifeγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Diethardt muttered as he carried the camera.
"But these people are about to break through the blockade, in case they...
"Those who want to leave should get out of here!"
The men immediately shut up.
"As I said before, our deal was over, but Jeremia, what you've done disgusts me. So I'm now proposing an add-on deal to let Suzaku go with my men, and I, the real culprit who killed Cullovis, are waiting for you right here. As I said earlier, these people behind me are not hostages and there is no need to worry. If you're scared, take your men with you. β
This is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
A life for a life?!
Sacrificing oneself for the sake of Suzaku Tsuki?!
Everyone was shocked and looked up at ZERO on the screen in amazement.
"Jeremia, do you have the guts? Or are you still afraid to face me? Like in Shinjuku? β
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Jeremia is already going crazy.
Now even the men around him were looking at him with distrust, shock, and even contempt.
Most of them know the real cause of Kulovis's death, but spending money to buy a corpse is no longer a shame to describe, even if it is simply announced that His Highness died at the hands of terrorists, it is much better than this!
"Jeremia, is that the money you asked me to send is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Veretta looked at him with a look of incredulity.
"What nonsense are you talking about?!"
"But..."
"Now is not the time to discuss such a thing! Veretta, take someone to the TV station immediately! β
"Wait, Jeremia, 'What's not the time'." A man with short orange hair snapped. "If you don't explain things clearly now, the military department will be finished! Can't you see it yet?! β
As he spoke, he pointed to the crowd at his feet.
"Chuvel, you! γ»γ»γ»β
"What if you can silence that terrorist now?! If you really didn't make a deal with the horrors, you should explain it to us now! Explain it to everyone! Otherwise, I will not carry out any of the orders you have given! β
Jeremiah is now at a loss for words.
He couldn't produce any evidence at all, but the terrorists had ironclad evidence.
"Hmph, sure enough. Jeremia, I'm not going to wait for you here for the rest of your life, you have one last minute to make a decision, after which I'll destroy Cullovis' body. β
Damn it!
Jeremia slammed his fist into the cockpit.
His Highness's body must not be defaced, not to mention that there are tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looking at him here, and the people of the entire 11th district are looking at him!
If His Highness's body really fails to be saved, then not only him, not only the military department, but the entire empire will become the laughing stock of the world!
Jeremia gritted her teeth and nodded at the guards beside Suzaku.
After the restraints on his body were loosened, Suzaku suddenly collapsed on the roof of the car. The guards on both sides lifted him up, dragged him off the roof of the car, and sent him to the man in black.
Jeremiah's hand reached for the gun at his waist.
He can't let this guy swagger away anyway!
Sitai Sunderland got the hint from his eyes, and was also waiting for the moment when the man in black was far away from His Highness's body, the caliber of Knightmare's gun was too large, and if it was not more than ten meters away, the splattered rubble would not hurt Cullowvis's body.
The man in black turned his head and motioned for Suzaku to get on his motorcycle, but he himself was not in a hurry to get into the car. He placed the grenade lightly on Kulovis' corpse and bent down himself, rummaging through the dark blue bag.
Then, he grabbed a pile of green stuff and straightened up, throwing it into the air!
This is γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Money?!
The last straw that crushed the rationality of the citizens was sprinkled on their heads one after another.
One gap, two gaps, and finally, the crowds on both sides completely broke the line of defense and rushed to the middle of the road, some bending down to pick up money, some jumping up to grab banknotes. The scene instantly changed from an angry criticism meeting to a carnival.
The man in black walked towards his mount with a bag and a scatter of money. The tide of people instantly hid him in the midst of it.
The four Sunderlands pointed their guns in his direction in such a daze, but they couldn't pull the trigger anyway.
"This is the ransom of Kulovis, two million, this is the price of the three princes of the empire! But this is not the money of the military department! It's your money, the hard-working people! O people of the Empire, I will now give you back what is rightfully yours! β
"Well said!" "That's right! That's our money! "The army's wrecks have robbed us of our money!" "Well done ZERO!"
The man in black started the motorcycle, took Suzaku to warm up the tires in a sharp circle, and then galloped behind him, holding the package high in his left hand, constantly drawing circles on the top of his head, and the green banknotes floated out of the bag like butterfly spots, flying behind him. The citizens on both sides quickly closed behind him, jumping and jumping to grab the bills in the air.
"But what did the Empire's armies do with your money? Endless development of killing machines! Endless corruption! Slaughter innocent people!
But that's all that can be done is to kill the unarmed, and they can't even defeat me -- ZERO, a 'terrorist'! Even innocent people need to be held accountable! Even spend your money to buy corpses for them!
βZEROοΌ ZEROοΌ ZEROοΌ ZERO!β
"And I, by this oath, I will not fight for the Japanese, the Britannes, or any race! I'm only for you! Fight for all the oppressed, exploited! And those rulers, if you still have no repentance, Cullovis is your example! β

What could be more beautiful than that?
Tears rolled down Diethardt's angular face.
"I see, this is the 'revolution', this fanaticism, this idea γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
Diethart muttered to himself.
"Fear us, you who have power!
O weakling, pursue us!
The world, arbitrated by our Black Knights! β
