165: Suppressing internal strife

Steward glanced at the official document and immediately understood He Ming's intention: he was truly planning to go for the kill.

"Wait, wait!"

Steward clutched the document tightly and rushed to the top floor of the Governors Mansion, to the Governor's office.

The door was open.

He Ming was sitting behind his desk, staring intently at Steward.

Steward swallowed hard, his legs feeling weak, and he almost stumbled before even entering the office.

He forced himself to calm down, approached the desk within two meters, and bowed respectfully.

"Governor, are all the people on this list really to be killed?"

He Ming snorted lightly.

"Yes."

"Governor, there are many people sent by the higher-ups on this list. If we kill them all, I'm afraid it will..."

He Ming said coldly, "Then what do you suggest?"

Steward's mind raced. He lowered his head, carefully choosing his words, and bit the bullet as he advised, "Governor, give me an hour. If they refuse to cooperate, then we can..."

"I'll give you half an hour."

Steward responded heavily and turned to leave.

Before long, all the clerks were gathered in the Chief Steward's office.

"Quick, immediately contact everyone on your list who is specially marked. Tell them to stop at once, or they will face the consequences!"

Ten minutes later.

"Chief Steward, Governor Wang Ling's phone is unreachable!"

"Send him a message, don't waste time!"

"Chief Steward, the person in charge of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce replied. He told us to..."

Steward's eyes were bloodshot as he roared, "Told you what?"

"To calm down..."

"Damn it, ignore them, keep calling!"

Twenty minutes later.

"Chief Steward, I've finished notifying everyone on my end!"

"Me too."

...Steward wiped the sweat from his forehead and said urgently, "Those who didn't answer the phone, call them again immediately!"

Five minutes later.

Steward walked out of the office and took out his terminal to dial a number.

"Oh, it's Steward. I heard your Governors Mansion has been quite lively lately, almost turning the entire Luol Star System upside down."

Steward: "Damn it, quickly pull all your men back. If you don't want to die, do it immediately. The Governor is about to start killing people."

There was two seconds of silence on the other end of the line.

"Okay, okay!"

After hanging up, Steward had already arrived on the third floor.

He quickly dialed another number.

A woman's voice came through after the call connected.

"Chief Steward, what brings you to call me?"

Steward snapped coldly, "If you want to live, pull back everyone you've sent out right now. If this matter can't be suppressed, not even the King of Heaven can save you."

Second floor.

Steward dialed another number.

"What is it?"

A cold female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Madam, your father's name has appeared on the Governor's kill list. He has recently done some things that have displeased the Governor."

"Hmm!"

Steward hung up the phone, his gaze gradually turning cold.

Outside the Governors Mansion, Blazing Phoenix and Jiang Zhenhai stood side by side. Behind them were two hundred top experts sent by aristocratic families, all with a life index above 70,000 points.

However, these people seemed somewhat insufficient in front of the Governors Mansion's experts. He Ming had them come along this time also to let them see more bloodshed.

Steward: "Board the ship. First, clean up Central State."

Seven-star luxury private club, Above the Nebula.

Inside the Governor-level private room, laughter filled the air.

Yang Yilin was surrounded by women, like stars orbiting the moon.

He was Governor Wang Chao's second maternal uncle, in charge of most entertainment venues in Central State, wielding immense power.

Yang Yilin: "How could the Governor issue such an absurd decree? I think he must be crazy."

"Exactly, with this decree, we'll lose at least three catties of flesh."

"My lord, we ignored the Governors Mansion's communication, will it..."

Yang Yilin snorted coldly, "What are you afraid of? If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

"How are things going over there?"

"Don't worry, my lord, it's all arranged. Those troublesome commoners took our money, and it won't be long before they completely sway public opinion. By then, the Governor will be forced to cancel this decree due to pressure."

With a loud bang, the private room door flew like a cannonball into the corner, knocking two unlucky people unconscious on the spot.

Steward entered the private room with his men, scanned the room, and finally fixed his gaze on Yang Yilin.

Yang Yilin was startled. Seeing the newcomers, he rose in anger, pointed at Steward, and cursed, "Steward, what do you want to do?"

Steward sighed and said coldly, "Yang Yilin, you are the Governor's own second maternal uncle. I didn't expect you to turn traitor and lead the obstruction of the decree's execution."

Yang Yilin: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Steward: "You don't know?"

"Then tell me, what's going on with those troublesome commoners smashing things in the streets of Central State?"

Yang Yilin frowned, forcing himself to remain calm.

"So what if it is? I'm helping the Governor. If he keeps causing trouble like this, it will definitely arouse public anger. By then, it won't be as simple as a civilian riot!"

Steward said coldly, "You still want to rebel?"

"I wouldn't dare."

"Do it. Kill them all."

Yang Yilin's eyes widened, looking at Steward in disbelief.

"You wouldn't dare!"

Steward: "Yang Yilin, your good days are over."

The Governors Mansion experts who rushed in generally had a life index of over 300,000 points. In just one second, out of 23 people in the entire private room, only Yang Yilin remained.

He stood in a pool of blood, his face covered in a pulpy substance, his mind a blank.

Only at this moment did he realize that Steward was serious.

"I am the Governor's own second maternal uncle! You can't kill me! The Governor won't let you get away with this!"

"Chief Steward, what should we do?"

"Kill him."

"Yes."

The next moment, an expert from the Governors Mansion, clad in black battle armor, stepped forward and blasted Yang Yilin into a mist of blood with a single punch, leaving not even bone fragments.

Steward: "Let's go. Before dark, Central State must be thoroughly cleansed."

Less than an hour later.

In the Central State territory, countless people died.

These people were once the powerful elites at the top of the pyramid.

Those who received the news finally realized that the Governor was truly intent on killing!

Those with guilty consciences didn't even have time to pack their belongings. They boarded spaceships, intending to escape Central State, but their ships were blasted into dust by the Governors Mansion fleet before they could even leave Central State territory.

By nightfall, the entire Central State was already a river of blood.

Even the commoners who gathered to cause trouble were all suppressed by the armed forces led by the patrol.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the entire Ming Star.

The riots in various places gradually subsided, but the killing did not stop even as the situation was suppressed.

Three days later.

The rebellion on Ming Star was completely suppressed.

Ten days later.

In the Luol Star System, the seven major life planets no longer had any dissenting voices.

The vacant positions were filled by intelligent robots controlled by jarvis.

Governors Mansion.

Steward escorted ten people and knocked on the door of the Governors Mansion.

"Kneel."

"You also..."

Before he could finish speaking, the ten people were kicked in the knee joints by the Governors Mansion guards behind them, forced to their knees.

"You!"

The President of the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce looked up, glaring at He Ming, and cursed, "Wang Chao, what exactly do you want!"

He Ming glanced at Steward, his eyes calm and expressionless.

A gunshot.

The speaker's head was shot through.

Another person roared, "You, Wang Chao, how dare you kill someone from my Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce!"

He Ming stood up and said calmly, "You've been doing business in my Luol Star System for so many years and earned a lot of money. How dare you interfere with my Luol Star System's internal affairs?"

"Even if the Enforcement Team comes, you will still die."

At this moment, an expert wearing the Governors Mansion's standard battle armor suddenly appeared beside Steward, whispered a few words into his ear, and then disappeared again.

Steward: "Governor, the Star Empire's Enforcement Team has arrived."
