Hodgson really didn't know that one of the members of their coalition council, Wohan, was a cultist.

He didn't have this information at all beforehand.

At this time, Gu Hang said that he was directly stunned.

After coming back to his senses a little, his first reaction was to suspect: Wohan is a cultist, is it the governor's own nonsense, as an excuse to trouble Fuxing City?

"This is not a trivial matter, do you have any evidence to prove it, Your Majesty?"

"The evidence is conclusive, the man who attacked the convoy was instructed by Vohan, and I eliminated the bandit on his estate and captured him personally. I've seen this guy use the Storm Magic ......"

"You don't seem to know anything now, Speaker Hodgson, I'm disappointed that a coalition councillor has been corrupted, and you, as the council president, don't have any information at all, is this a dereliction of duty, or has the coalition council itself been conniving at the spread of cults in Fuxing City?"

Hodgson immediately denied: "Absolutely not! We have been intensifying our crackdown on cults, so how can we allow them to spread? I'll look into this matter......"

Before Hodgson's words were finished, he was interrupted by Gu Hang: "Inventory? Wait for you to slowly investigate, what will Fuxing City become? Even members of parliament can be corrupted, how can I trust you to find out what the results are? ”

Hodgson was forced by Gu Hang.

This completely unexpected news caught him off guard. He didn't make a relevant plan at all, and at this time he could only bite the bullet and say: "We will definitely take practical and effective measures to deal with this problem." In the future, we will conduct background checks on all members of the legislature, and we will also strengthen the investigation of cults in the entire city. ”

Gu Hangdao: "I'll give you this chance." But I also want to remind you that our city is facing a serious threat, and I want to solve this problem as soon as possible and once and for all! If I don't see any more positive attitudes from you, then I will take action myself and hold you accountable for it. ”

Hodgson could only try to assure: "We will do everything we can and take all necessary measures to keep the city safe." I promise you, we'll give you an explanation. ”

"You'd better do what you say."

……

After hanging up, Hodgson's brow furrowed.

He didn't want to be on the underdog every time he communicated with the Governor.

But what could he do?

The first time I came to ask for supplies, I asked for the allocation with the power of the governor, and the amount was not small, but it was not to the point where it could not be beared, so it was stuck in the limit of what Fuxing City could pay, and let them pinch their noses and admit it. No one wants to completely offend the Governor and turn against the Governor for the sake of this material.

The second time was when Vohan attacked the convoy without permission, which was his solo behavior, and Hodgson sold him without any psychological pressure.

In those two cases, the governor vaguely meant to use his authority and the orbital bombardment in the sky to exert maximum pressure and threaten him, in order to ask for something. When it comes to this, as long as you don't want to turn your face, then Hodgson has nothing to do but compromise.

And now for the third time, although the Governor did not make too many threats and did not ask for anything, he was the most stern in tone, directly accusing the Union Council of either dereliction of duty or traitor.

The handle is directly grasped.

But Hodgson couldn't argue with that.

This time, the Governor was on the high ground.

The Primordial Beast Cult, which is the public enemy of many forces in the wasteland, does not believe in the God Emperor, but instead believes in the 'Primordial Beast', and has mastered the Storm Evil Arts, and has actually caused many tragedies that destroyed the gathering place.

How can a member of the coalition be a member of this cult?

I can't explain it!

The Governor's anger is justified.

I thought he had sold a grain merchant with a lust for profit, and if that guy was going to oppose the governor, let him be a target himself, and he deserved to die. But this person turned out to be a member of the cult, which completely surprised Hodgson.

He also realized the gravity of the matter.

After a moment's hesitation, old Hodgson turned his head to look at his grandson Lambert and asked, "Do you think it's possible that the Governor said that Wohan is a cultist?" ”

"Maybe it's true, maybe it's fake." Lambert Hodgson, who had listened to the conversation between his grandfather and the governor, cautiously gave his own answer, "But now it's not a matter of importance. The fact that the Governor had used this as a lever meant that he must have some evidence. Even if the evidence wasn't true, the Governor must have forged it well enough. We're really passive now. ”

In response to Lambert's speculation, the elder Hodgson sighed and continued to ask, "Then what do you think the Governor will do next?" ”

Lambert pondered: "He may use this as an excuse to further intervene in the political situation of Fuxing City, in the name of fighting the cult, to deprive us of power, and then control the entire Fuxing City." ”

"Listen to you, you seem to be very unhappy about this?"

Lambert was stunned.

"Grandfather?" He didn't understand why his grandfather would ask that.

"The Governor, the Empire-appointed ruler of the planet, is also the head of the Union government. Isn't it justified and deserved that the Governor wants to take complete control of Fuxing City? ”

Lambert frowned tightly and said with difficulty, "You...... What are you talking about...... But ......"

Hodgson Sr. said something else: "I remember you said that your ideal was to save the world? ”

“…… Yes, the gibberish of youthful frivolity......"

"Then I ask you now, is this ideal still buried in your heart?"

Lambert didn't want to answer, "Grandpa, what are you talking about this?" ”

"I told you that only the Governor can save the world. I don't know if it's this Governor Gu, so I've been hesitant, just like the previous Governors, they all failed. But I've recently figured out a question: How many more governors can we wait? ”

"I don't understand...... Do you want to? ……“

"No, it's not that far, I just think this governor is a little different from the previous ones." "For now, I think you're getting the point wrong. ”

"Please teach."

"Now the focus is not on what the governor is going to do behind him, but what we are going to do. What we have to do is also very simple, find out how serious the spread of the Primordial Beast Sect is in Fuxing City, and what their purpose is. This is the most important thing, and it is a matter of life and death. What's the point of intrigue? It's ridiculous to win the Governor and then be ruined by the cultists. ”

"I see!"
