In their eyes, Cocolia must be afraid.
To their surprise, Cocolia simply spoke calmly.
"Finished? If you're done, then get out of here!"
"Damn Cocolia, we demand your impeachment!"
Seeing Cocolia's arrogant attitude, the ministers and nobles present couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
As ministers and nobles, they always looked down on others with arrogance, never expecting others to look at them that way.
"Hmph, impeach me?"
Upon hearing this, Cocolia couldn't help but let out a cold smile.
Cocolia then turned her gaze to the three nobles and ministers standing at the front.
Clearly, these three are the masterminds behind this disturbance.
"Cocolia, you broke the rules first, and we were just following the rules!"
Faced with Cocolia's gaze, the three nobles couldn't help but feel intimidated.
A bad feeling began to take root in their hearts.
"Your Excellency Minister Ruren, Minister of Protection, and the Noble of this Temple!"
When the three nobles heard Cocolia call their names, they thought Cocolia had given in.
This made the three of them feel smug and proud.
Even if he is the Great Guardian, he is still subject to the restrictions imposed by these elder ministers and nobles!
“Cocolia, if you withdraw your order now and drive those outsiders out of Crepper Castle, we might consider keeping your position as High Guardian. Of course, to prevent you from doing such a thing again in the future, we require that your decisions be approved by us before they can be released!”
At this moment, the three ministers and the seven nobles also revealed greedy eyes.
If they could truly control the High Protectors, they would truly become the rulers behind Belloborg.
"No, what I mean is that the three of you should worry about yourselves first!"
Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions immediately changed.
One of them couldn't help but ask.
"Cocolia, what do you mean by this?"
“What I mean is that about an hour ago, several squads of Silvermane Iron Guards entered the three of your homes to conduct searches on my orders.”
Upon hearing this, the three of them instantly changed their expressions.
"Cocolia, this is trespassing, which is illegal!"
"Who said that? I issued them a search warrant; this is a legitimate procedure!"
Cocolia said with a cold laugh.
"Instead of worrying about me, you three should worry about the hidden compartment behind the mural in your bedroom, the secret passage in the bookcase in your office, and the cellar under the big tree in your backyard. Will the things hidden there be discovered?"
Upon hearing this, the three men's faces turned ashen, and a sense of fear welled up in their hearts.
This was their deepest secret, and they never expected that Cocolia would find out.
If the information from those places is made public, the sentences they received would be enough to put them on the execution list until next year.
Looking at the frightened ministers and nobles, Cocolia couldn't help but show a sour expression.
He finally vented the grievances he had suffered at the hands of Luffy and his two companions.
As for how Cocolia knew these people's secrets, it was all thanks to the Star Core.
In order to better destroy Beloberg, Star Core once tried to infiltrate the minds of these nobles and find their unspeakable secrets.
Originally, he thought that if these codes were spread, even if Belloberg didn't take action himself, it would probably lead to destruction and internal strife.
These secrets were also told to Cocolia by the Star Core, which planned to spread them after completely bewitching her, so as to plunge Beloberg into chaos.
The unexpected result is that Cocolia's daughter benefited from this.
"Report!"
At that moment, a girl with dark blue hair walked in.
Judging from her attire, she clearly belongs to the Silvermane Iron Guard.
"Chief of Intelligence, Pella, how's the situation?"
Upon hearing Cocolia's question, the girl named Pera looked at the three ministers and nobles slumped at the front, a hint of disgust appearing on her face.
He then dutifully reported to Cocolia.
"According to the intelligence from the High Guardian of Cocolia, we have found evidence of their embezzlement, bribery, and illegal activities at the homes of the three individuals. Commander Jepard is leading the Silvermane Iron Guard to arrest those involved!"
After reporting the results of the operation to Cocolia, the three ministers and nobles felt as if the sky was falling.
That's it, it's all over now.
"Very well, then, Officer Pella, let's lock these three masterminds who are about to wet their pants in jail first!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Pera waved his hand, and several Silvermane Iron Guards immediately came to the front of the office and took away the three ministers and nobles who were slumped on the ground with blank stares.
The office door closed again after Pera took his leave.
At this moment, the remaining people present still dared not utter a sound.
He was afraid that Cocolia's gaze would fall on him.
Cocolia cleared her throat and then spoke again.
"The three suspects who endangered Belleburg have been arrested, so let's continue our previous discussion!"
The 2+1 Flawed Butterfly practically treated this episode of Fiction like a bunch of mobs, and I even got two extra turns.
My goodness, Lady Xia Die!
Book 1: Chapter 61 Bronya, in Secret Operation
"Who else wants me to step down? Step forward!"
As she said this, Cocolia's gaze involuntarily swept over the crowd below.
The ministers and nobles who had been standing tall and proud just moments before now all hung their heads, afraid of attracting Cocolia's attention.
Those who reach their positions have more or less done some illegal things.
The image of those three nobles and ministers was still vivid in their minds, and they certainly didn't want to be their roommates.
Even ministers who had never done anything illegal were now constantly recalling whether they had ever spied on the neighbor's widow taking a bath when they were young.
There was no way around it; Cocolia's methods were simply too terrifying.
Cocolia thus learned the deepest secrets of the three nobles and ministers.
They didn't dare gamble on whether Cocolia knew their secret.
"I think it's perfectly fine to let those three guests stay at Cripper Castle, setting a precedent!"
As one person relented, the people beneath him also lined up and spoke.
"That's right, what era are we living in? Still sticking to rules from five hundred years ago, it's time to change them!"
"That's right, that's right, as you all know, I've always been a reformer!"
"Aren't you a conservative?"
"Shut up, Minister Snow Leopard!"
Cocolia couldn't help but find it amusing as she listened to the flattering voices coming from below.
"Don't you think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing?"
"No, no, Lady Cocolia must have had your reasons for doing this."
"The minister only needs to carry out orders, but Lady Cocolia has many more things to consider!"
Everyone chimed in, offering their opinions without any sign of opposition.
Seeing everyone's attitude, Cocolia didn't bother to say anything more to them. She had already achieved her goal.
"If that's the case, then what are you all still doing here? Why aren't you getting to work?"
Upon hearing that Cocolia was willing to let them go, the ministers and nobles present felt as if they had been granted a pardon.
As if the office in front of them were a cage for some ferocious beast, they all ran outside.
Before long, only Cocolia and Bronya remained in the office.
Seeing that she had the chance to talk to Cocolia alone, Bronya immediately asked her mother.
"Mother, why are you doing these things?"
Despite Bronya's questioning gaze, Cocolia remained unwilling to say anything more to her.
He simply looked at her with gentle eyes and then told her what he had said.
"Bronya, my dear daughter, there are some things I hope you don't need to know!"
"But I am the next Great Guardian. If anything happens, I can share the burden with you, Mother!"
Seeing how sensible Bronya was, Cocolia couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her.
But Cocolia still shook her head and refused.
"No, Bronya, I'll take responsibility for this myself!"
"Mother!"
But at that moment, Cocolia interrupted Bronya.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, Bronya, you may leave now!"
Seeing that her mother still didn't want to say anything, Bronya realized that if she wanted to know the truth, she could only rely on herself.
She took a deep breath and nodded to Cocolia.
"Yes, dear Mother!"
After saying that, Bronya quickly left the High Warden's office.
After leaving the office, Bronya did not hesitate and headed straight for Beloberg's prison.
As the next High Warden of Beloberg and commander of the Silvermane Iron Guard, Bronya easily entered the prison.
Here, Bronya easily found the person she was looking for.
As Bronya waved at her, Pera finished taking notes.
Upon seeing Bronya call out to her, 僄s?i零翅十?(二卄)侕. 泗覇是群T Pella also immediately came over.
"Miss Bronya, is there anything I can help you with?"
When Bronya called out to her, Pera thought something had happened.
Upon seeing Pera, Bronya cautiously spoke to her.
"Pera, I need your help with something!"
"What is it, Miss Bronya?"
Pera held Bronya in high regard as her commander.
"You know those three guests from Cripperburg, right?"
Pera nodded upon hearing this.
As an intelligence officer, she naturally knew about such a big matter.
Or perhaps it's not a secret at all; anyone willing to ask can find out anywhere.
Bronya took a deep breath and then told Pella her request.
"I hope Miss Pera can help me investigate the identities of those three people a little!"
