If conventional methods fail to achieve the goal, then the true intentions will inevitably be revealed!

Simply removing Mayor Doyle would backfire, because Mayor Doyle has already groomed his granddaughter as the next successor to Klopper.

In some respects, Ellie has a greater advantage. As the next mayor of Clober, she will make Clober more prosperous and the wealthiest city on the continent.

As for the struggle for hegemony, as long as Klopp doesn't do anything reckless, he is legally protected by all countries under the Commercial Treaty!

"So, comrades! Miss Ellie, whom we are focusing on, has run into trouble... I don't need to elaborate on the consequences, do I?"

As someone in the intelligence field, everyone knows Ellie's special status. If something happens to her at this time, even if "Panda" has the best temper, he will probably fly into a rage. Who knows what this enraged national treasure will do then?

Chapter 251 Assembly

In an inconspicuous warehouse in Krober.

Congressman Hart was sitting on a sofa in the warehouse, waiting for something. Soon, with the sound of some kind of mechanism sliding, mysterious figures dressed in black robes and wearing masks, like members of the FFF group, emerged from the mechanism connecting the warehouse to the sewers.

Each FFF member has a number on their face mask, and they are also the biggest supporters behind Senator Hart.

"You've arrived..."

The mysterious people nodded and took their seats one by one at the round table in the warehouse.

The mysterious figure with the number II on his face complained, "Krobel's surveillance network is getting tighter and tighter. If this continues, we'll be exposed."

"Hmph! It's all thanks to that old bastard Doyle!" the mysterious man numbered V said coldly.

"Alright, stop complaining. Let's have a meeting now and discuss how to deal with that guy Doyle. He's becoming a bigger and bigger threat!"

The mysterious figure with mask number I tapped on the table, and the other mysterious figures immediately fell silent.

"Hart, now we have a question for you..."

As I spoke, all the mysterious people present turned to look at Hart, who was sitting on the sofa.

"...Can Parliament still stand against Doyle using conventional methods?"

Representative Hart shook his head: "Impossible. With his current prestige and achievements, the entire parliament is no match for him!"

“How is that possible? Doesn’t the council and the mayor both have decision-making power in Krobel?” asked the burly Number III.

"That was indeed the case initially. All departments in Krobel are now united around Mayor Doyle, with the goal of making Krobelle happier. He is currently focusing all his efforts on improving the citizens' lives..."

At this point, Representative Hart felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He also wanted to improve the happiness of the citizens of Krober, but the capitalists behind him felt worse seeing the citizens happy than losing money, and they didn't want to spend a single penny!

"...As you have seen, the infrastructure is getting better and better. Roads and infrastructure are being built all over Krobel, and a lot of people have found jobs and have money in their pockets!"

The renovation projects in old urban areas are progressing smoothly. The emergence of affordable housing/government-subsidized housing has given the poor their own homes and jobs, and their lives are improving.

Then our dear Miss Ellie funded the construction of a kindergarten and school, and regularly went there to teach, so that the children from the poor could now attend school and learn!

At this point, all the mysterious figures felt fear. When the children of the poor went to school and began to learn knowledge, they would no longer be fools who could be manipulated at will. They would even learn the last thing they wanted to see—rebellion!

"In the surrounding areas of the Klobel Autonomous Oblast, Mayor Doyle has increased the number of shuttle buses, strengthening connections between the surrounding areas and the city, making travel much more convenient for residents..."

The development of tourism and animal husbandry in Almorica village, the power industry in the Mainz mine, and the Misi Water Park invested by IBC Bank, along with the abundant capital flow from international trade, has led to the investment in infrastructure and animal husbandry, enriching the food on the tables of the citizens.

Can you imagine that the slum dwellers are no longer hungry? They can even eat meat every day, and their children receive a free bag of animal milk from the government!

Bang! The mysterious man number IV slammed his fist on the table and said angrily, "How is that possible? Those lowly people are lucky if they get some food. I pay them to survive! They should be thanking me for living like that! What a joke! It's an honor for them to work for me. I only make them work 14 hours a day, and they dare to ask for so much?"

"But it's true. Not only that, Mayor Doyle... to be precise, that Miss Ellie personally collaborated with the medical university, using government subsidies and subsequent expansion as collateral, to get Ursula Medical University to open its basic medical care to citizens, including the poor. It seems she also wants to establish a health insurance system..."

"...The poor not only have enough to eat, but they also have access to housing, jobs, education, healthcare, and even luxury entertainment..."

Hiss... All the mysterious people present gasped, an indescribable fear rising in their hearts. They felt as if a storm was brewing, a fire that could burn them to ashes!

"...Especially after she learned some crooked methods from Shangqiu, she started setting up 'neighborhood committees,' which were practically a variant of that 'support department,' and began serving the citizens, taking care of all sorts of trivial matters..."

What was initially thought to be just a game for that young lady is rapidly changing the grassroots of Krober, and all the difficulties faced by the citizens will be resolved.

"...After internal stability was achieved, this Krobel trade talks, organized with various countries, has given Krobel a better international standing than before..."

With both internal and external considerations in mind, Krobel has gone from kneeling to standing up. Although its back is not yet perfectly straight, it has indeed stood up. The Republic of Calva and the Rebonian Empire are considering relinquishing their suzerain status and granting the Autonomous State of Krobel an independent political status.

The council is now completely powerless against Mayor Doyle, who has just launched a new political campaign: to make Krobel rich and make Orient Technology strong!

Speaker Hart let out a long sigh and said in a low voice, "All the citizens are supporting Mayor Doyle. Legally, I can no longer fight him. We've lost, we've lost completely..."

“No, we haven’t lost yet, we still have another way…” Number I said in a deep voice, “…marriage, Doyle’s granddaughter doesn’t have a marriage partner yet.”

“Doyle wouldn’t consider her granddaughter as a marriage partner, and her granddaughter Ellie is very close to people from Shangqiu…” As Doyle’s old rival, Councilor Hart knew Doyle best.

“We can try, but…” I’s tone turned icy as he said this: “…if Doyle is really so stubborn, then don’t blame us for being ruthless. After all, we don’t want to use such extreme measures, as that would break the rules.”

With a whoosh, a dark cloud slowly covered the entire city of Krobel, and then, amidst lightning and thunder, raindrops fell from the sky and pounded on the ground.

Chapter 252 Hearthstone

Looking at the raindrops falling on the ground outside the window, Zhou Mingrui said with some regret, "It's raining... Looks like we can't go out today."

"It's okay, Lao Zhou~ We can play in the hotel too. I remember I brought board games, let's play together..."

After saying that, Lingdang returned to her room and took out a board game version of Hearthstone from her suitcase.

The exquisite cards placed on the table immediately caught Alice's attention.

Wow, it's so beautiful! What is this?

Hearthstone is a card game popular in Shangqiu.

"Ah! This is Hearthstone! I heard it's really popular where I am now, and a lot of people are playing it! But I heard that the card boxes are very expensive... My good friend has already used a lot of Mirana."

Zhou Mingrui's lips twitched. He opened the card pack... It's an eternal pain. The King of Europe and the Chieftain are simply two different kinds of beings.

However, this form of entertainment was indeed brought from Shangqiu, and for mainland China, which had no board games, it was a game-changer.

"Come on, let's play..."

As Lingdang spoke, she began shuffling the deck. Zhou Mingrui wondered if it was just his imagination, but he seemed to see several orange (legendary) card backs in Lingdang's deck... Tio's cards weren't bad either.

Only Alice's cards are blue and white, which is very eco-friendly.

"You guys have fun..."

Zhou Mingrui decisively refused to play card games with the two highly intelligent geniuses and gave Alice a sympathetic look.

He had played with Bell and Theo before, but every time he played, he felt the gap between people, which was even greater than the gap between people and dogs... They were always deliberately letting him win, so what was the point of playing this game?

In the drizzle, some unexpected guests arrived on the outskirts of Krobel. These hunters, dressed in matching red uniforms, hid in the woods outside the city of Krobel.

A strong, bear-like man is eating a steak.

"Commander, we shouldn't have accepted this mission... Krobel is different now!" the vice-commander of the Hunter Corps said solemnly.

“I know…” the burly man said in a low voice after stuffing the entire steak into his mouth.

"...So I disbanded the regiment and sent most of them back to their hometowns. Now life is better, and the members don't have to live on the edge like before..."

"...This is a personal favor I owe, and it doesn't necessarily mean I'll attack Krobel. It all depends on the employer's decision..."

"...Besides, that guy said we'd distract the guards when we're on our mission."

The deputy head of the delegation sighed deeply. Sometimes human relationships are worthless, but other times they can cost you your life. And what's more, they're attacking political figures, and at an international conference no less.

This is making an enemy of all the powerful nations on the continent!

"You don't need to come along..." the commander said in a deep voice, "...This is my business!"

"I'm not coming with you. Are you just going to throw your life away? You're just a reckless brute who only knows how to charge around!"

"Heh~ You're not much smarter than me..."

The hunter commander smiled, then picked up a piece of dry rations and ate it. There were only a dozen or so hunters around the camp, but each one was extremely elite.

Krober, a residential area.

A car with a power-guided engine stopped in front of Mayor Doyle's villa. The passenger door opened, and the assistant quickly got out, took out an umbrella, and opened the back door.

Speaker Hartel stepped out of the limousine and looked in the direction of Mayor Doyle's villa.

Mayor Doyle was standing at the door, his assistant, Secretary Nester, was behind him holding an umbrella, and Ellie was standing not far away with another umbrella.

Speaker Hart walked towards the villa, smiling as he said, "Excuse me..."

"No, it's been a long time since we had dinner together."

"Yes...how many years? Twenty years or thirty years?"

Speaker Hart said with a sigh that he and Mayor Doyle were friends when they were young, and their conflicts weren't as serious as they are now, serious enough to warrant physically removing Doyle...

“Hello, Speaker Hart…” Ellie bowed and said with a smile.

"Hello, Miss Ellie. You've been quite active in Krobel's political scene lately. Some people are saying you'll be Doyle's best successor."

“You flatter me. I’m still learning how to make the citizens of Krobel happier, just like Shangqiu,” Ellie said earnestly.

"Hahaha...you're being modest. Everyone has seen what you've done."

"This isn't the time to chat. Let's go inside and talk."

After saying this, Mayor Doyle gestured for him to enter, and Councilor Hart went into the villa.

Upon entering the villa, Secretary Nester and Representative Halter's assistant consciously went into the lounge prepared specifically for assistants.

Upon entering the restaurant, Doyle and Ellie sat on the right, while Senator Hart sat on the right, directly opposite Doyle.

Ellie gently rang the bell and said to the maid, "Serve the food..."

"Yes, Miss!"

After the maid left, she walked towards the kitchen.

“It’s a rare treat for you to visit me. I have a bottle of my treasured red wine. Ellie, go and get it from the wine cellar in the basement.”

“Yes, Grandfather.”

Ellie stood up, gave Hart a curtsy, and headed towards the basement.

After watching Ellie leave, Hart couldn't help but exclaim, "Doyle, you have a wonderful granddaughter! I wonder which young man will be lucky enough to marry her..."

This is Hart's honest opinion. Ellie is good in both appearance and personality. She has no airs of a rich girl, yet she has the temperament of one.

"Hahaha..." Doyle couldn't help but laugh when he heard Hart Hospital praise Ellie. Ellie was his precious treasure.
