Chapter 475: Chapter 475: Cold-Blooded Company People_1
"You’re saying you want to put Isabella on trial?"
Jasmine could hardly believe her ears, even as a Six Stars rescuer of the United Government, she could not put the future heir of the Iris Consortium to trial.
Her father was one of the current Councilors, with the power to change the future of the world.
Regardless of whether Qi He could achieve this, if the Ragus Foundation really brought Isabella to court, it would almost certainly mean that the Conservative Faction and the Innovator Faction were officially at war, as those Conservatives who followed diligently and spared no effort to restore the class system of the Old World would never tolerate their future heir being treated like common people.
"Why do you think such a thing happened in the Seventh District today?"
After bidding farewell to Lu Xiang and Song Lan, the Ragus Foundation began to investigate the ins and outs of Isabella’s attack. The matter was not complicated — by connecting the situation of the injured, one could roughly guess the true nature of the power. "This is different from venting anger anonymously on the net, besides hatred, they must be prepared."
If power is seen as a weapon, those who wield it must have enough courage.
Once the weapon is used, there is no turning back.
"Had someone been able to stop Isabella earlier, or had she been promptly brought to trial after committing a crime, none of this would have happened today."
"I know, but..."
Jasmine suddenly paused, because even she herself had just realized something — in her subconscious, she believed that putting these people on trial was impossible, as the Foster Family, who controlled the United Government’s integrated trial system, were always a core force within the Conservative Faction.
Although she, like everyone else, yearned for a fair and just world, on her path to becoming a Six Stars rescuer, she realized countless times that this was impossible. People like Isabella, from the moment of their birth, were placed above countless others.
More importantly, the Iris Consortium supported her actions, instilling in her the belief that the world should naturally be this way.
But the person proposing trial to Jasmine today was not from the Rebel Army or an ordinary person who had long-held grievances against the Iris Consortium but a representative of the Ragus Foundation, Qi He, who was also a member of the Review Meeting.
This meant they had carefully considered the matter and made their judgment accordingly.
"I must admit two things to you,"
Qi He saw Jasmine’s hesitation and, adhering to his principle of sincerity, said, "First, we will not miss any opportunity to strike at the Conservative Faction, and bringing the heir of the Iris Consortium to the Tribunal serves a certain role in driving our next plans forward. This decision is not entirely made from a perspective of justice; second, bringing them to court is the limit, the Foster Family will certainly find a way to exonerate Isabella."
This is a war without gunpowder.
Before completely changing the entire system, this is the greatest effort they could make.
"No revolution can be achieved overnight, what if we assume that if the future heir of the Iris Consortium really died here today, what do you think they would do?"
Those who struck deals with the "Devil" believed their ultimate goal was exacting a life for a life with those they hated in their hearts. But for the Iris Consortium and the Seventh District, this is not the end but the beginning. They would spare no effort to thoroughly investigate the matter, adhering to the principle of preferring to wrongly kill than to let one go, persecuting anyone who might be involved with the incident or even harboring similar thoughts.
Jasmine realized this and blurted out, "Their classmates, relatives, and teachers would all be implicated."
An individual alone is powerless against the enormous might of an entity like the Iris Consortium. For "aristocrats," killing the "common people" does not require hatred or awareness — they simply need an order or to sign their name on a document, and countless people will carry out their decision.
"I want to change the nature of this matter."
Qi He said, "If we rush to put Isabella on trial, the debt of inciting people to take revenge and humiliating them through trial will be charged to us — given our relationship with the Conservative Faction, we can afford this debt."
"Is this also the decision of the Ragus Foundation?"
Jasmine’s surprise was beyond words; she thought she might be hallucinating.
"Is this really the decision that could be made by a cold-blooded, inhumane corporate person who puts interests above everything else?"
She couldn’t help but have a new understanding of the representative from the Ragus Foundation.
"No, this is my personal judgment made without violating the Foundation’s interests... But, ultimately, these matters will need you to relay for me."
"Why?"
"Because, the rescuer is the last justice of the United Government."
Qi He quoted the online evaluation of rescuers. At this moment, at least there were still quite a few people who believed in the rescuers, firmly convinced that they were the ones who could bring change to the world.
As for him, as well as corporate people, the internet also provided them with a corresponding evaluation, "And I am the cold-blooded corporate person who hides in the dark, measuring people by numbers, and lacking humanity."
He was very self-aware.
The same words spoken by both of them had vastly different effects.
"If it’s convenient, I hope you can provide me with the documents recorded by the former advisor of the Iris Consortium, which should be able to cause trouble for the Conservative Faction."
"...I understand."
After a moment’s hesitation, Jasmine made her decision.
Indeed, those documents would bring pressure on the Conservative Faction in public opinion. Therefore, in addition to doing everything possible to save Isabella, the Review Meeting also hoped she would retrieve those documents and bring them back to The First Region without attracting any attention.
The advisor’s death, on the other hand, solved a problem for the Iris Consortium. Those documents might be the last evidence he left that could point out the atrocities committed by people like Isabella.
If they fell into the hands of the Innovator Faction for some reason, the Review Meeting would likely give them a terrible evaluation for this action.
"Here are the documents."
Jasmine took the documents from the bedside drawer next to Isabella. Fortunately, they were not damaged in her confrontation with δ.
Qi He expressed his sincere gratitude, "Thank you."
He briefly flipped through the documents and remarked unemotionally, "This will be very helpful to us."
With that, he put the stack of documents into his briefcase. All his actions were in line with people’s impressions of corporate people. After standing up, he straightened his tie, making sure he looked presentable at all times, meeting people’s expectations of elite individuals.
The objective was achieved, and it was time to say goodbye.
According to procedure, to take Isabella to the Tribunal, a series of cumbersome documents were required; they had to start working on it that very night.
"Do you have any message to relay to them?"
Jasmine suddenly stopped Qi He.
"Me? I’ve already made the Foundation’s intentions clear. As for me personally..."
Qi He’s face carried a formulaic smile as he said, "Having such awareness is commendable. It is a pity to die in such a manner. I hope they can live to see the day the new world arrives."
