Chapter ?1511 Culprit

The union was holding their meeting for their next plan. They had been kept for another day after their visit, but since the government had just begun to stabilize after the apocalypse, they couldn't leave the pose for too long.

Flora was overseeing the meeting. There were a total of thirteen members of the union. They represented their own countries: Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, the UK, France, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Czech, Ireland, Austria, and Poland.

Germany was represented by Flora, who took charge of the union and became the leader. For the union's advisor, this position could only be filled by none other than the War Saint, Leonardo.

"The four pillars have been doing good and the process is satisfactory. By eliminating all monsters in the defense area, we can create a fortified base and our goal is to expand our base to the surrounding area." Leonardo reported with a poker face. "We have been able to survive without production right now, but it's the best time to start producing our own food like vegetables and other staple food because it'll be our main concern next.

"However, we have to make sure that we're not going to expand that soon because it'll risk the stability of our progress. There are also a few King Class Monsters that have to be dealt with. Luckily, the nearest World Class Monster from this place is in Hungary and Sweden. At the very least, they won't be our priority for now. That's all."

Flora nodded with a serious expression. "Denmark has joined hands with Sweden and Finland. I want you three to handle our north. The Netherlands will be focusing on the connection between this area and the UK and Ireland since it's extremely dangerous to travel above the sea. If possible, make an airplane that is safe to connect them.

"France, Italy, and Spain will focus on your own stability for the time being. You can focus on our food supply. As for Czech, I want you to focus on maintaining our defense since our threat comes mostly from the east." Flora summarized the situation by giving everyone the task. "That's all from me."

"Then—" Leonardo wanted to continue, but suddenly, there was a priority message the UK diplomat received.

"Mhm? I am sorry, Sir War Saint. I have to cut your speech because I have an emergency message from the British Royal Family, Prince Karl."

Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows and said, "Sure. Since it's an emergency, it must be something important."

"Thank you." He nodded and took a deep breath. "Let me read the message. It seems that we have found the culprit for the death of Richard Coulson."

"!!!" Leonardo squinted his eyes. Richard Coulson was a very interesting person who actually gave hope to people in this situation. However, he was murdered a few days ago, brutally at that. It angered so many people because their world had been destroyed like this, yet, the people in power still killed a person like him. It was unbearable.

"Hoh?" Flora's expression became cold.

"What's this? Are we still going to discuss a dead person? We don't have time to do this." Czech's representative, who was none other than the leader of the Lexon Group, snorted. "It's better to move forward. Don't you know how much work we have to delay for just one day for his funeral?"

"I can understand your anger, Sir Alexej. But Richard was an important person as well, who became the hope of this base. Why are you stopping us right now, Sir Alexej?" The UK's representative narrowed his eyes.

"Stopping you? I'm simply stopping a useless topic from being discussed."

"Is it truly a useless topic? Or is it related to you that you have to hide it?" He narrowed his eyes, not backing down. They had been in a fight for the third position in the union, so this hostility was normal. Even the other members had gotten used to this kind of fight.

"Hoh? Do you have any evidence for that? Freedom of speech doesn't mean you can say anything. You have to be responsible for your own speech." Alexej slammed the table, glaring at him. "Instead of talking about the dead person, how about talking about the important position? I have just received the information from my son that the Empress is going to support me, and he's going to marry Anastasia. With her helping my Lexon Group, we can become a sturdy front.

"Hence, I believe that I can become the leader of the military. As Madam Flora had said, our place will be the sturdy shield that protects the base from most threats. Hence, it's better for me to have this position since I can easily mobilize the army for protection purposes."

This was what Alexej had been waiting for. As long as he could mobilize the soldiers, he could control the stability of the base itself, giving him enough authority to be the third in command after Flora and Mason.

"Unfortunately for you, we have to discuss the death of Richard Coulson today." The UK's representative stated with a cold tone. "His Highness is also making his way toward this place after getting important evidence."

"Huh?" Alexej narrowed his eyes.

"Proof? Interesting." Flora was the first one to show interest, considering Richard was useful in her eyes. "Speak!"

"Yes, Madam Flora. I'm sure that everyone knows that Richard and his bodyguard died during the attack, right?"

"Of course." The people nodded.

"However, that's not necessarily true. His bodyguard has also upgraded her skill, specifically a defensive skill to S Rank. She managed to escape death at that time, and our skilled doctors had been operating on her this whole time. She had just woken up today to tell us about the culprit. Due to her weak condition, she couldn't reach this place. But we've recorded a video of what happened inside the room she stayed in."

His expression became ruthless as he stated with confidence. "And we have managed to find out the real culprit behind the assassination of Richard Coulson. They are…"
