In addition, Rockwell Energy Corporation's branches in the thirty-seven cities previously covered by the Eternal Cult were raided by the FBI.

The IRS also launched a crackdown, arresting numerous executives from Rockwell Energy Group's divisions in various cities on charges of tax evasion.

Analysts point out that the bill has only two core elements:

First, an energy price control department should be established to manage the basic electricity price for the entire city and participate in the setting of electricity prices.

Secondly, a ceiling for residential electricity price increases has been set, stipulating that the total increase in electricity prices by energy companies shall not exceed 60% of the base price, and each increase must be reviewed by the municipal government.

After the bill was passed, carnival parades took place throughout Dawn City.

“Mr. Christos”.

A little boy with freckles stood on tiptoe and handed a lollipop to Christos, who was standing by the roadside.

"Thank you."

Christos smiled and accepted the lollipop. He looked up at the cheering crowd in front of him.

When he was not on official business, he often left the Palace of Radiance and walked among the crowds.

People are no strangers to his existence.

However, quite a few people still came over and took photos with him.

"So young."

Watching the little boy walk into the crowd, he sighed with melancholy.

"Yes."

The man with the ponytail, who was also the deputy mayor of Dawn City, stood behind Christos and sighed in the same way. He turned his head to look at Christos and asked, "The midterm elections are tomorrow. Are you confident?"

"No,"

Standing atop the towering platform, Veri gazed down at the densely packed crowd below.

This is the ceremony marking the renaming of the Union Industrial Building to the Winter City Industrial Group Building.

She took a deep breath and slowly opened her mouth.

“In the more than 700 years of Winter’s history, we have made countless choices.”

"On this ancient land, there has been chaos, there has been strife, and there has been brief periods of unity."

"But no matter how things change, one thing will never change, and that is our determination to pursue a better life."

"From the founders of the Federation erecting the first high wall in Winter, to the caravans that crossed the city connecting the whole world."

"The people on this land have always been persevering and striving."

“We have taken the wrong path and we have been in trouble, but fortunately, we have all made it through.”

"From today onwards, there is no United Industries, only the Winter City Industrial Group, which belongs to every single person in Winter City!"

The girl gazed at those pairs of eyes that sparkled with expectation.

"The fate of this world is a cycle. Each generation has its own mission. Some generations can enjoy God's special favor, while others will eventually have to forge ahead through hardship."

She slowly raised her hand.

"And our generation will take control of our own destiny!"

dong dong dong-

Amidst the deafening roar of machinery, several workers wearing hard hats sat by the roadside, each holding a loaf of bread and a bottle of water bearing the logo of the Stars City, eating their meal.

"Haha, you guys don't know, I ran into the little hero Yiluo at that intersection up ahead, the one with the convenience store."

"Back then, I was working for some big boss, wasn't I?"

The young man sitting in the middle, munching on bread and drinking bottled water, said loudly, "That idiot boss went to rob the little hero Yiluo, but before he could even make a move, the little hero Yiluo pinned him to the ground, which scared me so much that I ran away."

"You've got some nerve, kid. You dare to rob me? You even dared to rob the little hero, Yiluo?"

A fellow worker standing nearby laughed.

"I didn't know, and besides, it was my boss who robbed me, not me. I was even arrested and detained for a few days afterward."

The young man took another bite of bread. "But I didn't surrender to those cult members. I've been fighting them to the very end."

"You, still want to fight to the end?"

A fellow worker nearby laughed and said, "You probably hid in some corner all night."

"That's it."

The coworkers next to him laughed at the same time.

"You guys have no idea, I'm pretty awesome."

The young man took a bite of bread and replied with a smile.

That night, he did indeed hide in some secluded corner, but in that corner, two homeless children were also hiding.

That night, in order to protect the two children, he confronted the followers of the Eternal Secret Cult and nearly died in that corner.

He didn't know why he suddenly had that courage. Perhaps it was from seeing the blood-soaked boy's eyes, which were deep and unfathomable, yet seemed to still burn with fierce flames.

He was actually quite frightened by his actions that day, but if given another chance, he estimated he would make the same choice again.
