Elitists | Interrogation

People were shocked to hear the attack on two Cabinet Ministers. And not normal ministers but elitists. Some houses started to question the security system. If it was the security system in the Official Residence of the President, what about other places?

The press came to interrogate in no time, although they were always in favour of Ahuras. The press would never ask about security system and go against Ahuras, instead, they made up their own news.

It may be an attack by a weak house. A special source is saying that the attackers' main target was the President. The press would tell whatever they were ordered to tell and most of them were distorted news.

The press was for the public to justify Ahuras, but only inner people knew what was happening.

Many loyalists of Huijins and Nirkits suspected it was an attack by Ariana Eden or the President himself. Loyalists of Mosifal were neutral in this situation. Zorvan was trying to ensure that the Bureau of Inquiry would find the mastermind of the attack.

Raevour was standing beside Huian in the hall. Raevour's mind was cleared. He knew it was either to defame Ahuras or a regular drama to engage common people to distract them from important news.

"So what is it?" Raevour asked Huian. "An engagement or a trick of defamation."

"Neither of them," Huijin said answered. He didn't talk much with Raevour.

Raevour tried to communicate again. But before he could, the head of Huijins left that place. Raevour became angry at Huijin Huian Gu.

Huian Gu was passing the large corridors. He was going to his room to complete his incomplete sleep. The night is big at this time in the northern hemisphere of Masad. He was within himself until he heard a female voice.

"I guess being the richest means being the most precious cabinet member. Isn't it, Mister Huijin?" Pikoki Nirkit said.

"Oh, Mizz Nirkit, the night is big now. And I think all the terrible things happen at night, in the darkness," Huian said.

"I am not here to talk about night and your thoughts."

"So why are you struggling yourself by talking with me? You and I both faced dangerous things today. You should sleep now or it will affect your beauty."

Huian moved to leave. But then he heard something that left him shocked.

"Why are you spying on Zorvan?" Pikoki said.

His eyes were widened. He faced her. He saw her grinning at him. It was disturbing for him. Seeing himself in a bad position was not something Huian wanted.

"What are you saying Mizz Nirkit? Do you have any proof about this?" Huian tried to calm himself.

"You are right. I indeed don't have any direct proof as there are no security cameras in the ministers' room for privacy," Pikoki was circling around him. Huian was so short that it looked like how a mother interrogated her child. "But your nervousness is confirming my suspicion. Moreover, how can a fifty-year-old short man like you be able to defend himself from a healthy strong-build sentinary?"

A huge mistake. He should know no one but Pikoki would notice any gap.

"You are talking as if all ministers are saints, not spying on each other," Huian confronted.

"I am taking this as a confession," Pikoki smiled. "In our cabinet, all are easy to read except you. I've always tried to figure you out. But now I've done that. You are up to the seat of the President, the ultimate power."

Huian started sweating. Pikoki came closer to figure out his motive.

Pikoki saw his condition and said, "Now it's another feather in my cap. I am now successful at humiliating a Huijin."

She was going to leave the place. Huian started to analyse her every word, then realised.

"How do you know I am spying on Zorvan?" He asked. "Unless this attack was done by you. Yes, the sentinary, I've killed, was my spy. I killed him for keeping everything a secret. But what about you? Why were you attacked?"

Pikoki stared at him.

Huian continued, "Don't tell me it was a usual trick to defame Zorvan, or his wife Ariana in front of other houses. I thought you as a pro player. Now I see, I've overestimated you."

Huian went nearer to her and whispered, "Now, we are equal."

Pikoki looked at him with rage. But then she calmed herself and said, "But defamation and conspiracy are two different things. We both don't know what will interest Zorvan more."

They both laughed admiring each other's intelligence.

"My son is about your boyfriend's age," Huian said.

"Please!" Pikoki ashamed. "He is not my boyfriend. He is just a peer."

"But I can confirm, my son is better than your peer," Huian laughed.

"Better at what? Sex? Or, plotting against someone?"

They laughed loudly knowing that they were the smartest in the cabinet.

But there was someone who could see everyone and their every action. Zorvan came to Vikoka in this situation knowing that no one but the all-knowing knew who was the real culprit.

"It was a simple trick. I've warned you before, Pikoki Nirkit is far more intelligent than you," Vikoka said.

"So it was a simple trick!" Zorvan shouted. "Preposterous."

"Don't worry people will talk about it a week then forget it like every time. A brand-new news will come and attract people to itself," Vikoka assured.

"It is easy to say," Zorvan said. "Some are speaking bad about Ariana. She is my innocent precious."

"Oh, Zorvan, don't let your emotions interfere in these matters."

"I will not forgive Pikoki Nirkit!" Zorvan shouted. "She will surely be punished."

"What rubbish," Vikoka calmly said. "Do you have any proof against her?"

Zorvan face became pale. He really didn't have any proof but feelings.

They were silent for a while. Then Vikoka broke the silence and said, "Now another player has arrived."

At the spaceship base beside the Official Residence, a ship was Landed. A tall man came out. He had blonde hair. Full-winged Butterfly over his pocket. His coat was designed with detailed works. He looked at the Official Residence with an unpleasant face.

"Welcome to Masad, Mister Nihllis Mosifal," a man said. He came here to escort Nihllis. "It has been years since you came here last time." has been years since you came here last time."

"Stop babbling like that. I've come here to meet our stupid old man," Nihllis stated.

Nihllis Mosifal walked towards the Camal Palace with his guide.
