Chapter 530 A Show for the Federal High-Rankings
After beating up the two sentries who were stealing food, Floch entered the control room with a dark face and saw Yu Xia sitting at the table with her face in her hands, looking at the flashing projection screen in front of her.

"What are you looking at?"

Floch dragged over a chair and sat down next to Yu Xia.

"News." Yu Xia stared intently at the projection screen, which was broadcasting news about the contaminated area. Below this news, recruitment information was scrolling repeatedly.

“What’s so interesting?” Flock said. “It’s the same old stuff over and over again. I’m tired of it.”

When he was in the underground kingdom of Silver Star, he would also go online. The news from these contaminated areas was nothing new; it was all for the general public.

Besides ordinary citizens, mercenaries and others also take a second look.

Check if any new alien species have appeared in the contaminated area, how much the pollutants have increased, and where the contaminated area has spread. See if they can go in and retrieve some containment materials.

The intelligence held by regular sentries is far more extensive than what is reported in the news.

Yu Xia pointed to the cold-faced man speaking on the projected screen and said to Flock, "Look, it's Harrison."

Flock's ears perked up, and he squeezed close to Yu Xia's face to watch with her.

The man in the projected image, dressed in a crisp black military uniform, stands in front of some ruins and is being interviewed. Behind him are a well-organized corps of sentries and towering, dark watchtowers.

The whole scene gives people a solemn atmosphere. The neat and uniform sentry army looks very powerful and makes people feel inexplicably excited.

The top right corner of the video shows the number of views, which has already exceeded 100 million and continues to grow.

Yu Xia had almost no contact with terminals in the Holy City in the past. After leaving, she only used terminals for communication and payment, and rarely read the news.

In the video, Harrison showed everyone one of the Federation's most powerful legions and said he would do everything in his power to stop the pollution from spreading and reduce the pollution level.

Floch curled his lip: "It's just a show for the general public and the federal leadership."

Yu Xia turned to look at him.

Flock: "A lot of things have happened in the contaminated area in the past few months, especially the incident in North Second District. Harrison was directly responsible and was dismissed from his post by those in the higher-ups, losing a lot of real power."

Flock paused, then said somewhat sarcastically, "Actually, he's not the only one in charge. It's just that someone has to take the blame for these things. It's better for one person to take the blame than for a group of people."

“He deserved it.” Floch put his hands behind his head and leaned back lazily in his chair. “He wanted to use the power of the Blood Nest, so he had to pay the price.”

Yu Xia turned back to the Sentinel Legion on the 3D projection screen, looked at it for a while, and then shifted her gaze to the constantly scrolling recruitment information below.

"Harrison is recruiting?" Yu Xia frowned. "Harrison's ability will turn these recruited sentries into his own shells."

“He’s always done this.” Flock: “He’s made a lot of preparations these past few months to get back to the center of power. Only by expanding the legion can he have more say in the Federation. He didn’t need to put on those shows after he captured you. You are the greatest power in his hands. With you, he has the whole Holy City. He can even create another Holy City.”

Looking into Harrison's dark, deep eyes in the video, Yu Xia thought of the feeling of drawing energy from him.

It's a feeling that constantly entices you to delve deeper and sink into depravity.

Even just thinking about it now fills her with a strange longing.

As if sensing something, Harrison suddenly looked directly into the camera, and that staring gaze made Yu Xia's heart skip a beat.

Just as she was about to turn off the screen mirroring, a figure suddenly appeared in the video.

The sentry who walked up to Harrison was tall and slender, wearing a white and gold military uniform with his trousers tucked into his military boots, which made his legs look even longer and straighter.

His all-white attire was like a drop of white paint falling into thick ink, making him exceptionally eye-catching.

“Ryan?” Yu Xia was surprised to see Ryan in a news video. She had not heard from the Third Prince of the Empire since she left the Holy City.

In the video, Ryan and Harrison shake hands and chat warmly.

Flock said, "It seems Harrison has captured this Third Prince of the Empire. It's a good thing you didn't fall into their hands, otherwise the Federation and the Empire would be in turmoil."

Yu Xia watched as Ryan in the video maintained a constant smile, his demeanor refined and elegant, displaying the noble bearing of an imperial prince.

Floch added, “This Third Prince has been traveling to the borders of various planets, cleaning up contaminated areas and pacifying the people. His reputation is now higher than that of his two older brothers.”

"Ahem." A hand reached across the projection screen and tapped in front of Floch.

Yu Xia turned off the screen mirroring and saw that Maki was leaning against the table.

Maggie gestured with her chin toward Floch, "Little mouse, you'll have to pay us another deposit in advance."

Floch: "The gold coins I gave you are enough for you to buy another spaceship."

Maggie tossed a bag of gold coins back to Floch, saying, "These gold coins of yours are no good. Transfer them to me online."

Flock's face tightened slightly as he poured out the silver and gold coins from the bag. "This is all I have."

Maki glanced at Yu Xia beside her, and forced a fake smile, "Little mouse, this is Silver Star's currency. Do you know how much Silver Star's currency has depreciated in recent years?"

Floch: "I don't know, I haven't left Silver Star for decades."

Maki: "Anyway, you have to give us Federal Star Coins, otherwise we can't get things done without money!"

Floch: "That's all, take it or leave it!"

The two of them stood with their arms crossed, staring at each other.

Yu Xia silently opened the terminal system.

She had originally intended to log into her terminal account to transfer some money to Maki. Maki and her group were currently penniless, and the things they needed were difficult to obtain. In addition, the control measures had suddenly become stricter recently, and it would cost a lot of money to smooth things over.

Maki naturally wouldn't ask Yu Xia for money. Floch had prepared a lot of money, but it was in the gold coins that circulated on Silver Star, not the currency commonly used in the Federation.

The people who connect with Maki don't accept it.

Flock has many accounts, but all the money is in his main personal account. The security of his assets on the terminal is extremely high, as it is a one-person-one-terminal system. The money in his other accounts is also deeply tied to the main account.

His main account was banned, and it goes without saying who did it. He had been under Harrison's control for a long time, and his terminal accounts were also being monitored and controlled.

Floch had anticipated that his account would be banned, so he prepared a lot of gold coins.

I just didn't expect that these gold coins are no longer widely circulated in the market.

The reason is that pollution on Silver Star indirectly affects the economy, resulting in a low exchange rate for silver coins and difficulties in exchanging them.

People in this line of work hate these kinds of troublesome things and usually just transfer money online.

Flock's account, along with all his other sub-accounts, was banned. He didn't dare log into his main account, otherwise he would expose his location.

Yu Xia was also unable to log in to her account.

But she has other people's accounts.
