Chapter 81: The Traitor's End

"Help him sit up."

"Yes."

Laguna Harvey was pulled up and sat back on the chair. He also saw who had come, and it was precisely because he saw clearly that he panicked even more.

"It's you!"

"Surprised, Mr. Harvey?" Yang Hui asked with a sneer.

"What do you mean? Do you know who I am?" Laguna Harvey roared, putting on a brave front.

"Heh, who are you? Why don't you remind me?" Yang Hui maintained his sneer, his gaze towards Laguna Harvey becoming even more contemptuous and cold.

"I am a member of the Overseer! You are just a member executing the plan! You have no right to imprison me! Release me immediately! Otherwise, I will report what you have done to me to the Overseer Committee!"

"Allow me to remind you, Mr. Harvey, I am the chief person in charge of the plan formulated by VEDA. I have the right to mobilize all resources within the organization and also have the right to deal with all members of the organization. The Overseer is naturally within this scope, especially… a traitor? Wouldn't you agree, Mr. Harvey?"

"You… what are you saying… I don't understand." Hearing the word "traitor," Laguna Harvey was enveloped in chills, trembling so much that he couldn't even speak clearly.

"Don't understand? Then tell me, what's the deal with the Trinity siblings? And what's the deal with the three Throne Gundams?" Yang Hui waved his hand, signaling someone to bring a chair. He planned to have some fun with Laguna Harvey, pushing him step by step into the abyss.

"This is… is… right! It was VEDA's instruction! To secretly establish a second support unit!"

"Why is there no record of this on VEDA? And I have never received any news from VEDA?"

"Because… because… because this is top secret! To ensure the secrecy of the second unit, all information was deleted! Look, didn't the previous military exercises prove the necessity of the second unit?"

"Is that so? So VEDA's judgment is that you, an Overseer, have higher authority than me, the chief person in charge?"

Laguna Harvey opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer. If he said yes, wouldn't that directly question Yang Hui's position and authority? At the same time, wouldn't it acknowledge that VEDA's judgment was wrong? If he said no… the previous lies would be exposed.

Yang Hui looked at the speechless Laguna Harvey, unable to stop sneering. One lie requires more lies to cover it up, more and more, and it can never be completely covered up. Yang Hui just wanted to see how far Laguna Harvey could go with his lies.

"Can't answer?"

"I… I don't know… anyway, I received instructions from VEDA!" Realizing that he couldn't answer, Laguna Harvey decided to deny everything to the end. Anyway, he would insist that it was VEDA's instruction, and all the records had been deleted. Yang Hui couldn't find any evidence to prove it was false.

But… Yang Hui's next question directly plunged him into the abyss.

"Did VEDA also have you secretly build a second unit that included 30 mass-produced machines? And were they all equipped with Quasi-GN Drives?" Yang Hui said, while taking out his PAD and pulling up pictures of the secret factory and Hangar on the Antarctic ice continent.

"You! You! You!" Laguna Harvey was completely desperate. Back then, in order to avoid being discovered, he had deliberately placed this secret factory and Hangar in a human exclusion zone, and had also spent a lot of money to purchase a complete set of fully automated production lines. There were very few people left there, and they were all his confidants. He had even secretly disposed of these confidants after it was completed. This secret was only known to him, so why could Yang Hui find it?

"Continue," Yang Hui's sneer added a touch of playfulness.

"How could you… how could you find it…" Laguna Harvey didn't even try to argue, asking blankly.

"Let me make sure you understand before you die. I knew there was a traitor within the organization when the plan started. You can silence people, but the flow of materials, the transportation records of large equipment… these things can't be erased."

Seeing that Laguna Harvey wasn't trying to quibble, Yang Hui suddenly felt bored. He admitted it just like that? He hadn't had enough fun yet.

"How could you… how could you…"

"Alright, Mr. Harvey, since you've admitted it, then be on your way. Someone will take over everything you have." Yang Hui straightened his clothes, got up to leave, and gave a look to the person beside him.

"Click~"

Hearing the sound of the gun being cocked, Laguna Harvey's eyes regained their color. A strong desire to survive made him think of something, and he immediately shouted, "I was also instructed by others! There are other traitors within the organization! I can tell you who they are! As long as you let me go, I'll tell you everything!"

"No need." Yang Hui stopped and turned around, sneering, "Alejandro Corner is still useful, so he can't accompany you on your journey. As for the others, I'll send them down to reunite with you after I've finished fleecing them."

"No! No!"

Leaving the secret room, Laguna Harvey's wails finally disappeared from Yang Hui's ears.

He hadn't told the whole truth. Besides the confirmed Alejandro Corner, the others were just suspicions. He wasn't sure how many people within the organization had betrayed them, but Yang Hui hated two kinds of people the most in his life: deserters and double-crossers.

Even if Laguna Harvey knew the detailed list, Yang Hui wouldn't let him continue living. Not going back on his word to kill him after tricking him into giving up information was already giving him the last bit of dignity.

As for the remaining traitors, he believed that Wang Liu Mei would definitely be able to find them all.

"What should we do with those MS?" The person who had previously taken action against Laguna Harvey and was now responsible for executing him came out, took off his hood, and it was Hong Long.

Yang Hui really didn't trust anyone else to do this kind of work.

"Secretly send them to the Human Reform League, UNION, and AEU, ten to each side. Don't let them realize we did it."

"I'll take care of it."

"Thank you for your hard work, brother-in-law."

"…It's my duty."

Watching Hong Long's departing figure, Yang Hui noticed the slight curve of Setsuna's lips as he turned around, and couldn't help but smile.

"That's right, this is the attitude a family should have, isn't it?"

Yang Hui left in the opposite direction from Hong Long. After getting into the car, he took out his PAD, encrypted it, and contacted Sumeragi.

"What's the situation?"

"It's been resolved. The Quasi-GN Drives will be delivered to the three countries soon."

"Setsuna and the Dylandy Brothers have already descended to Earth. I've sent them to destroy all the secret bases of the [Trinity] team and force them out."

"Okay, return to space directly after it's done. After the [Trinity] team, it's our turn."

"Understood."

After hanging up the communication with Sumeragi, Yang Hui contacted Linda, who was far away in [Celestial Palace City].

"Oh my, Myer, what are your orders?"

"Linda, what's the status of the GN Fighters?"

"The E-type is undergoing final adjustments, and the D-type is ready to be received."

"…Please contact Sumeragi and have her send Lasse and Lichty to receive them."

"But there's only one of each…"

"We don't have much time left."

"…I understand." Linda, who always had a gentle smile, also showed an unprecedentedly serious expression.

"Thank you for your hard work, Linda. You can rest after the final adjustments of the E-type are completed. There won't be any new work in the short term."

"Myer… you all must be safe and sound."

Faced with Linda's concern, Yang Hui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, Linda, I promised you all, everyone will be safe."

On the shelves! Basic ten updates start!
