Chapter 133: Mutual Exposures

Chapter 133: Mutual Exposures

Chains wrapped around the redeemed like venomous snakes, causing their faces to turn extremely pale. Fernand Snows words had evenly distributed the hatred amongst them all.

At this point, everyone completely understood Ashes intentionsthis damn jailbreaker wanted them to reveal those unknown government secrets, to expose those small caprices of power in front of the entire city, and even drag those unspeakable beings down with them!

Why hasnt the Heresy Court arrived yet! Why hasnt the broadcast been cut off! What on earth are the church and the institute thinking!?

They all glanced at each other, suddenly reaching a consensusdont say another word. Continuing would only provoke the anger of the citizens. They decided to remain silent and stall for time until the Heresy Court could interrupt the broadcast!

However, not everyone was willing to abide by this silent agreement. For example, the former leader of the violent gang Gluttonous Snake, Beastman Kuiwen, was about to break.

Compared to those evil officials, whose wickedness was not so apparent and who maintained a distance from the populace, Kuiwen was undoubtedly the most grounded and most easily accessible brute.

Without any external interference, Kuiwen would undoubtedly be the popular candidate for this Blood Moon Tribunal. And the greatest advantage of a pariah is that he wont miss any opportunity to drag others down with him.

Three years ago, during the Dragons Den Apartment Case, Fernand Snow also contributed a lot! The beastman boomed, Everyone hasnt forgotten, right? Dragons Den Apartment bought houses from the owners at high prices and rented them out to tenants at low prices, quickly growing not only in Caimon City but also dominating the rental market in cities like Feimeng and Outer Sea.

But Dragons Den Apartment paid the owners monthly while collecting one or two years worth of rent from the tenants, thereby absorbing a large amount of capital. Everyone knew this was a ticking time bomb, but they all turned a blind eye and even added fuel to the fire! Fernand Snow at that time had the Government Affairs Hall issue the Financial Innovation Guidance, allowing commercial banks to operate new businesses like Rent Loans, making renters shoulder debts to fill the funding gap for Dragons Den Apartment! In this matter, Fernand Snow is undeniably responsible, although he technically did nothing wrong.

Why am I so clear about this? Because I also own a commercial bank and took the opportunity to issue a large number of small loans to premium customers like students and new workers.

And as far as I know, a member of the Forest Gallery also operates a commercial bank!

Hearing the sound of chains moving, the Ogre breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He knew that everything would proceed as planned by the indifferent Observer beside him. More tragically, he had to accelerate this process until the rage of the people burned everyone to ashes.

Andrei. Fernand Snow said, Thanks to your efforts, Moon Sugar was legalized in Caimon City in 1662. The sugar producers transitioned from underground operations to formal businesses, and the largest sugar company, Eternal Life, founded the Eternal Wine Club the following year. Although you were arrested, the Eternal Life Company is still producing Moon Sugar at this very moment, and countless people are falling into illusions due to Moon Sugar every second.

Just these words alone caused Andreis pillar to erupt into chaos, with countless shackles swirling around this middle-aged scholar like tentacles.

His face turned gloomy, knowing he had stirred public anger.

As an addictive drug, Moon Sugar is a prohibited substance in most parts of the Blood Moon Realm, except in a few cities like Caimon where it is legal.

Although there are many sugar people who like to eat sugar, there are even more who dont like Moon Sugar. Almost every citizen has been harassed by sugar people, whether on the streets, in bathrooms, in university classrooms, or in cinemas. The sharp increase in serious crimes caused by sugar people has made the citizens extremely disgusted.

Andrei didnt think he was in the wrong. After all, thanks to the Human Rights Freedom Act, no one could prevent an adult of any race from consuming Moon Sugar. Crimes stemming from sugar consumption were a separate issue altogether.

However, severe crimes fell under the jurisdiction of the Heresy Court, not the councils. Each had its own performance assessment criteria, and Andrei and his team didnt need to consider the crime spike resulting from the legalization of Moon Sugar.

Because everyone had the right to consume sugar, bans on Moon Sugar were repeatedly ineffective.

If it couldnt be banned, it might as well be turned into a formal industry. At least taxes could be collected, and without violent gangs skimming off the top, sugar consumers could enjoy lower prices. A world where nobody gets hurt was born except for the ordinary citizens.

But what if there was a strong prohibition on Moon Sugar, arresting those who consumed it? The Human Rights Association would have something to say about that, and the Race Rights Association wouldnt sit by idly. After all, Goblins, beastmen, and Ogres had a natural resistance to drugs and toxins. They benefited more than they lost from consuming Moon Sugar, and they didnt have withdrawal symptoms when the sugar was scarce. Regular sugar intake could even improve focus and work efficiency.

Especially for Ogres, Moon Sugar was almost more important than paint for their oil painting creations.

The proposal for the legalization of Moon Sugar was approved not just because of Andreis personal bias, but because it was a consensus reached by the council based on local conditions in Caimon City, benefiting all parties.

Ordinary people couldnt complain about it, because they elected the council members themselves.

This was elite politics.

However, public resentment towards the Moon Sugar Act was growing daily. At any other time, it would simply fester, but during the Blood Moon Tribunal, resentment could bite.

Typical of you, Fernand Snow, Andrei said, now the public is venting their anger on me.

Andrei, your literacy is poor. Venting implies directing anger at unrelated parties. You, however, are the main proponent of the legalization of Moon Sugar. This isnt venting, its revenge, the Ogre sneered.

Andrei sighed, Does it have to be this way?

Fernand Snow calmly said, If youre willing to sacrifice yourself to protect everyone, then this game will end with you.

Andrei looked around, seeing the hopeful eyes of his subordinates. He turned to look at Ashe, who was watching the drama from the edge of the rooftop, sadness welling up in his eyes.

We, a group of self-proclaimed geniuses, are being toyed with by a mere convict he said with a bitter smile, such an ugly sight.

Let me put an end to this.

The Ogre looked surprised, while others breathed a sigh of relief, their faces showing the joy of a narrow escape.

Alandor Fernand Snow!

Just then, Andrei roared.

If anyone here deserves to die, its you during the Event 422, you let the innocent citizens of Caimon City suffer the attacks of Outer Domain Sorcerers!
