News Report

Ben was back home and they had dinner soon. Soon they heard a shocking news. A news that changed the political landscape of the Gyagar Nation.

"In a shocking revelation, decades old crimes are coming into light. Victor. H. Jeter, Minister of the Education and Social Development, has been removed from his post. This came as a shock to the entire political sphere and has shaken the nations of our world. The crimes of Victor came to light after an investigation lead by the Gyagar Nation Martial Entity Martial Council. The investigation was conducted by the 5 Martial Entities of the Gyagar Nation. They gave solid proof of the Minister's wrongdoings. Several Corporates and prominent figures of the nation are also suspected to be involved in this. It was proved that the Minister, by manipulating the officials, approached the talents of the Nation, to coerce them into joining his fold. For those who could not be coerced or influenced, he changed the conditions in the contract during the meridian seed implantation and made them fall into an artificially created debt condition. Such martial artists and other professional were used by the Minister and his accomplices for various purposes, which ensured their profitability and selfish goals. They used these students and young people by saying that they were doing this for the nation. Some of these activities include transporting and production of forbidden and unaccounted materials and products including weapons, smuggling of various resources bypassing customs, murder and arson. The investigation is being currently conducted under the Judicial High Council and the Martial Entity Council, to prevent any form of influence. He has been removed from the Ministry. He is currently under custody and is being interrogated. A massive investigation is being done in various parts of the nation, to unearth the nuances of this crime. More 500,000 cases have been registered all over the nation and it is still going up. Investigation is being done in various district headquarters as well. We will get more details in the coming hours."

John: Oh my, what is happening?

Malina: It is horrible. What kind of person is the Minister?

Ben: This is his 3rd term right. He has been Minister for over 20 years now. As the same Education Minister.

John: Yes, He was one of the most powerful politicians in the ministry. Not even the Prime Minister could do anything against him.

Malina: Ben, you read your contract, right? The one from the implantation.

Ben: Yes, Mom I really did go through it. I made sure there are no problems, to the maximum extent possible.

John: Well we will go through that once more.

Saying that the family went through the contract once more. After making sure that there was no problem, they relaxed.

The family continued to listen to the news. There were some updates.

" In an update, the names of several prominent figures and corporations involved in the scandal are coming into light. Hughell Inc, one of the leading companies in catering to the Beast Master field is being investigated. All its assets are now frozen and its facilities are being raided. Some of its high ranking employees have been arrested. The high ranking Martial Artists of the corporation are currently under investigation. It has been found that, the company had manipulated certain beasts and beast feeds to bring some of the beast masters under their control. They caused the beasts to have addiction or injected them with parasites, so that the beast masters can be coerced into doing their building. This news has prompted various people who are beast masters to protest in front of the various branches of the company. A large number of beast masters have reported the issues in the concerned facilities. Hughell Inc also had close associations with the various police departments and the army itself. All the contracts that Hughell Inc had with these law enforcement and military agencies have been terminated with immediate effect, said the concerned government officials. The ministry has not given any statements so far.

In another incident, Barach Medical Company (BMC), one of the leading companies in alchemy and its lead scientist Martial Monarch Lamek J Barach are also under investigation. In the history of Gyagar nation, it is the first time a Martial Monarch is being prosecuted. BMC is said to have been involved with making of forbidden medicines, smuggling of goods, malpractices in accounting, murder for forgery and so on. The Barach family said that they have no connection with this incident and has come to publicly disown Lamek. But still the Barach family is being investigated.

Minister Quink R Kep, the minister for Health and Research is also under scrutiny from the investigation council. He has been asked to step down by the Prime Minister. He will still continue to be a member of the parliament."

This was a huge issue. It was shaking the very pillars of the nation. The family discussed about it some more and then everyone went on to sleep. Ben could not sleep so easily. He was deep in thought. ' No wonder the doctor said those words. It seems a lot is going on in the nation. Not only are there external issues, internally also, the country is divided. I wonder what the problem with these people are. I can understand greed to extent. But to do this much that affects the integrity of the nation. It seems the Entity council and judiciary have clung onto this issue. That is why those people could not do anything. Otherwise these issues would have been under the rug now. The problem is that what they will do with these people. They are all powerful cultivators. They cannot kept in prison for so long. They would surely retaliate. Who knows what is going to happen? I am actually lucky that there was nothing wrong with the contract. If there was, I am sure that the facility staff won't budge and I would have to sign that or wait for 6 months. Well now that it is over, I need to think about problems at hand. One is about the animal that is needed for the Shaman Scripture. The next one is the cultivation resources for increasing my energy. Another issue is to get the techniques for expressing my power. But that does not become a problem until my 1 year mandatory training and work in the defence forces. The animal is the urgent issue. I have a feeling that once my affinity for an animal is found out, my energy absorption will also increase. Man, how will I find an animal with affinity. Hughell Corporation is out of question now. Should I go to a zoo, or pet shop or a forest? For now let me sleep'
