Arknights' Lock of Heaven

This isn't about pleading for the capitalists and nobles, but about Xia Yu...

She looked at Xia Yu with a worried expression.

After tonight, his reputation will surely be tarnished throughout the countries of Terra.

On the surface, no one dared to say anything, but in reality, those who benefited from the system would never let their guard down against him.

Margaret knew all too well about these things.

In the future, given any opportunity, he will face a ruthless counterattack from those who have already benefited.

Margaret was deeply moved.

As for the others, they remained completely unmoved.

Well, that's how it appears on the surface, at least.

The silver-speared celestial horses remained silent.

Faced with the desperate outstretched hand of the Knights Guild President, they remained motionless, their eyes closed and their minds blank.

They had made all the necessary preparations before they arrived.

You must never take action unless absolutely necessary.

The reason for this, of course, is that not all of Kazimierz's vested interests are listed here.

The majority of the Control Council, Rhodes Island's nominal ally, escaped unscathed.

The reason is simple: even the worst order is better than no order at all.

If Xia Yu hangs everyone up today, the nation of Kazimierz will fall apart tomorrow.

Why? Because the entire leadership is dead!

The struggle for power and the accumulation of military might lead to unimaginable consequences.

Therefore, it is necessary to first clarify the primary and secondary contradictions.

First, the problem to be solved is that the Business Federation, by controlling the nation's economic lifeline, has held the entire Kazimierz hostage and ruthlessly exploited the poor masses.

On this point, our interests align with those of the Securities and Futures Commission.

Admittedly, most of the nobles in the Supervisory Council were not good people either, and exemplary knights were few and far between.

But at least right now, the biggest enemy is the Business Federation, so it's not impossible to cooperate.

Therefore, the vast majority of evil capitalists were hanged first, leaving a small group of people with some conscience to maintain order, while some wicked nobles were also hanged.

These measures were intended to ease internal conflicts in Kasimir and reduce the burden on the poor.

As for what happens next, and what about the remaining people?

Heaven will take its course; we just need to wait.

Xia Yu nodded slightly in response to Margaret's grateful and apologetic smile.

To be honest, he has done his best and has a clear conscience.

There are still many things that the people of Qasimir need to do themselves.

At most, I can offer some help and guidance later.

"Great Master Xuan Tie!" Upon seeing this, Bai Jin couldn't contain his joy and skipped over to Xia Yu.

"When will I be able to leave this wretched place called the Unarmored Alliance?"

"I want to resign! Resign! Resign, do you even know that?"

"Huh? You despise my Wuzhou Alliance that much?" Xia Yu roared in anger. "Tell me, where has my Wuzhou Alliance ever treated you badly!"

Upon hearing this, the way everyone looked at the two of them became quite subtle.

"Look at us, killing corrupt officials and eliminating evildoers, living a carefree and happy life. How have we wronged you?"

"You're a Platinum, a Platinum-level expert!" Xia Yu exclaimed, feigning deep remorse. "You should know shame, know shame!"

"Ha, the Unarmored Alliance," Bai Jin rolled her eyes at Xia Yu upon hearing this and began to complain, "First of all, do you even have holidays? I mean, you don't promise holidays and then suddenly pull people in for extra shifts!"

"This...this is just a technical adjustment," Xia Yu said, wiping the sweat from her forehead as if she were feeling guilty. "Actually, we still have a holiday."

"What about dignity?" Platinum said indignantly, "Do you know what it feels like to be yelled at by those idiot board members?"

"We're all just trying to make a living, why be so fussy?" Xia Yu waved her hand. "Isn't it enough to make money?"

“Ha, there is money to be made,” Platinum sneered, “but do I have anything to spend?”

"If you're busy all day long, what's the point of giving out so much money? Can you even spend it? Do you even have the time?"

"Besides personal safety, we don't even have insurance. They don't reimburse us for work-related injuries, and if we die, we won't even have a proper burial..."

"Not to mention that the Unarmed Alliance doesn't have a retirement system at all!"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances.

No wonder this Platinum Emperor was so pleased with those who were hung up; now I know the root of the problem lies here.

According to her, then the Wuzhan Alliance really isn't a good place.

No, I almost got misled. Aren't all assassin organizations like this?

"Whoever wants to stay in this garbage place can stay, I'm not doing this anymore!"

Platinum raised her chin and put her hands on her hips.

"Alright, approved!" Xia Yu waved her hand dismissively. "After tonight, you will no longer be a member of the Unarmored Alliance!"

"You've been babbling on and on without any sense of dedication. You're fired!"

"Hmph, you ignore me today, but tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention!"

"Our Wuzhou Alliance has accomplished such a great feat today, and it is believed that it will soon become famous throughout the world, attracting heroes from all corners of the globe to join us. Do we need a little girl like you?"

Xia Yu flicked her sleeve and snorted coldly, "I hope you won't regret it later!"

"Don't worry," Platinum gave a thumbs up, "you definitely won't regret it."

"Who would choose to be a dog if they could be a human? Especially a dog of that trashy Business Federation. Goodbye."

"What do you mean 'be a dog'? Who's a dog?" Xia Yu said indignantly. "We're all just trying to make a living, it's not shameful. Don't put it so harshly!"

"Shameful, absolutely shameful!" Platinum chuckled. "What kind of dog isn't shameful?"

"Isn't this my revenge?" Xia Yu looked at the reporters who were trembling with fear. "Remember this: the Wuzhou Alliance Xuan Tie rose up in rebellion because they were dissatisfied with the oppression of the Business Federation. Today's big incident was done by the Wuzhou Alliance!"

"Oh, that embarrassing platinum doesn't count, I've already fired her."

"From this day forward, the Unarmored Alliance and the Business Federation are irreconcilable enemies!"

"I've remembered everything I said. I want to see it in the newspaper tomorrow. Do you understand?"

The reporters nodded frantically.

Hmm, Xia Yu turned around with satisfaction after seeing this.

"Alright, then I won't keep you any longer," Xia Yu said with a smile. "You want the Champions Wall exhibition hall, right? Go ahead and go ahead."

He waved to the group of people, then pointed to the crowd beside him and said, "I have some things to attend to here, so I won't keep you any longer."

We can't give up halfway through, since we haven't finished hanging up yet.

After saying that, he glared at Platinum.

"Aren't you going to come up and lend a hand? Don't you have any sense of propriety?!"

"Didn't I already resign?" Platinum's eyes widened upon hearing this.

“I meant after tonight,” Xia Yu chuckled. “It’s not even dawn yet.”

"Tsk," upon hearing this, Platinum reluctantly walked over.

"It feels like I've just escaped one wolf's den only to fall into another."

"What are you muttering about?" Xia Yu turned to look at her. "Hurry up and come here!"

Platinum reluctantly moved over upon hearing this.

Then he saw an old man staring at him.

"Hey, isn't this Director Carl?" She instantly perked up. "You've looked so tired after just a few days? Why are you lying on the floor?"

"You were so smug when you docked my pay, but just because I didn't meet your expectations when I did it, you docked two whole months' salary!"

"Damn it, the benefits in this crappy place called the Unarmored Alliance are already meager, and the salary is already decent, but you still deducted it all from my paycheck!"

Platinum smiled and walked toward Carl.

"Today I'm going to make you taste the anger of the working class!"

"Don't...don't come any closer!"

Looking at the smiling platinum, Carl shrank back in fear, "I'm a director! A director of the Business Federation!"

“Yes, yes, you’re a director,” Platinum reached out and lifted the rope binding him. “Coincidentally, the person I’m going to hang today is also a director.”

"Who among those who hanged themselves here today wasn't a big shot with a name and a surname?"

"Relax, you're lucky to have so many people with you on your way down."
