Because there were all kinds of aftermath work to be done, Ito Cheng did not issue any instructions on the first day he entered the Royal Palace of Britannia. He only followed the leadership of Cornelia and Yuffie who later entered the city with the large army. , thoroughly familiarized with the palace environment, and chose a clean, intact and livable palace to live in, quietly waiting for Li Xingke and others to complete the aftermath work.

"Your Majesty." The next morning, Li Xingke came to the palace after arranging all kinds of work, and said to him who was with Cornelia, Yuffie, Kallen, Veretta and Anya who had just recovered. shouted Ito Cheng who was having fun in the garden.

"Is everything arranged?" Ito Cheng, who withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Li Xingke, said softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xingke responded.

"Well, send someone to summon all the nobles, ministers, and heads of important departments in Britannia. I want to see them." Ito Cheng ordered.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Xingke responded with a salute, and then after seeing that Ito Cheng had no other instructions, he turned around and left the garden, sending someone to carry out Ito Cheng's order.

"I will give you the power to choose later. Whoever you think is worthy of staying, I will let him stay." After Li Xingke left, Ito sat in pairs with Cornelia and his companion. Kallen and Veretta said beside him.

After hearing this, Cornelia looked at Ito Cheng thoughtfully, nodded and agreed. As for Kallen and Veretta, although Veretta also vaguely felt that Ito Cheng's arrangement might have some deep meaning, but when she thought that she and others would not be able to stay in this world for long, even if there were other intentions, it was too much for her. It was of no great use, so he put his thoughts aside, just like Karen. I agreed very casually.

"By the way, Cornelia, do you know Bertolia Franks?" Ito Cheng then looked at Cornelia again and asked.

"Bertoria Franks!?" Cornelia frowned when she heard the name from Ito Cheng's mouth. Looking at Ito Cheng, he said solemnly, "I didn't expect you to even know about her."

Ito Cheng smiled slightly and did not answer Cornelia's words.

"You want to see her?" Cornelia asked next.

"Yes, after all, she is the head of the Britannia Secret Intelligence Service. She must have a lot of things in her hands that you and I don't know. As long as she is willing to cooperate, I will master Britannia faster. A lot, and we can also try our best to find and catch the royal family members who may be hiding. Reduce some unnecessary trouble." Ito Cheng nodded and admitted.

"Then you just pray that she doesn't disappear from the palace with His Majesty Emperor Zalulu. Otherwise, unless you unite the whole world and spare no effort to search for her whereabouts, this is the only way you can see her again. "Cornelia sighed.

Hearing this, Ito Cheng frowned slightly and was silent for a few seconds, then asked again, "If I use Mariana as bait, do you think she will show up?"

"I don't know." Cornelia also frowned slightly and shook her head.

"I forgot, you don't know about some situations." Ito Cheng was stunned at first when he heard Cornelia's answer. Then he said with a look of surprise.

"What do you mean?" Cornelia looked at Ito Cheng and asked.

"That woman Bertolia Franks has a deep hatred for Mariana." Ito Cheng explained softly while looking up at the sky.

"Impossible!" Cornelia denied with a tone full of disbelief. Then, without waiting for Ito Cheng to speak, he continued speaking slightly faster than usual, "Bertoria is not only the daughter of Princess Mariana's mother-in-law, but also one of Princess Mariana's disciples. The relationship between them is very close. How is it possible that Daqiu Chun is here!?"

"Nothing is impossible." Ito Cheng sneered with a flash of sarcasm in his eyes. Then he reminded aloud, "Do you still remember the basement I took you to find in the palace..."

Cornelia's expression changed after hearing Ito Cheng's reminder, and she immediately swallowed the words she wanted to say and fell silent.

"When Mariana was doing human experiments in the basement of the palace, she not only used her own children as materials, but also asked other people who trusted her to serve as human experiment materials. Among these experimental materials were Bertolia and several of her children. Brother." Ito Cheng looked at Cornelia who was sitting there silently and said softly, "It's just that her brothers were unlucky and did not survive the experiment. And the only one who survived was Bertoli. Ya, his body has also been severely damaged, and he will not die soon."

"Do you think Bertolia wouldn't resent Mariana in this situation?". Ito Cheng continued.

Cornelia didn't answer, she still sat there in silence, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng ignored her and turned his head to look at Yuffie and Anya, who were playing in the garden not far away.

"Your Majesty, all personnel have been brought here." I don't know how long it took, Li Xingke's figure appeared in the garden again, and he clasped his fists and saluted Ito Cheng.

"Yuffie, Anya." Ito Cheng nodded and called out to Euphie and Anya.

The two people who heard the call immediately stopped their movements and turned to look in the direction where Ito Cheng and others were. After seeing everyone getting up from their positions and looking like they were waiting for them, they slowly walked out of the garden hand in hand. He stepped out and came to stand next to Cornelia.

"Cornelia, please tell Yuffie and Anya what I said before." Cornelia said after seeing the two of them standing still, Ito Cheng was still in a bad mood.

"Let's go." Then he turned to look at Li Xingke and said.

Li Xingke didn't waste any time. He turned around and led Ito Cheng, Kallen, Veretta, Cornelia, Yuffie and Anya towards the meeting hall.

The garden was originally located near the Imperial Palace, not too far from the meeting hall, so it didn't take long for Ito Cheng and his party to arrive at the meeting hall of the Royal Palace of Britannia.

At this time, in the main hall, there were no less than 300 people standing in a dark crowd, standing in rows on the left and right sides of the main hall according to their noble titles, military ranks, departmental powers and responsibilities, etc.

"Emperor Wuwei has arrived!" The moment Ito Cheng walked into the hall, a former official of the Britannian Palace opened his mouth and shouted.

Hear the cry. Everyone in the hall put their hands on their chests and bowed their heads to Ito Shige with the Britannian courtesy.

Amid the courtesy of everyone, Ito Cheng led Kallen, Veretta, Cornelia, Yuffie, and Anya along the middle wide path. He went straight to the several-story stone platform at the end of the hall, stepped on the stone steps step by step, and sat down in the only high-backed chair on the platform that was two meters long.

"Hiraishi." Ito Cheng said looking at the nobles below with an indifferent expression.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The nobles, ministers, and senior officials below responded in unison. Immediately after receiving the gift, he raised his head and looked at Ito Cheng who was sitting on the platform and Anya, Yuffie, Cornelia, Kallen, and Veretta standing on both sides of him.

"You guys have a choice." Ito Cheng ignored the Brittanian nobles, ministers and senior officials who were a little confused when they saw Cornelia and Yuffie appearing, and directly spoke to Cornelia and Yuffie. Kallen and others said.

Cornelia didn't show any pretense at this time. He nodded and walked to the edge of the platform, looking sharply at the crowd below. It wasn't until the next moment that he kept pointing to a few nobles, officers or ministers in the crowd, and opened his mouth to name them.

Following Cornelia's movements, one after another nobles, ministers, and high-ranking officials were pulled out from among the people by the Chinese Empire soldiers guarding the palace and taken aside for supervision.

The crowd, who had no idea what was going on, immediately started making noises below.

After about two minutes, Cornelia's action came to an end. And then there’s no waiting for those who weren’t chosen to feel lucky. Yuffie, also known as Cornelia, walked out of the platform and called the names of everyone below.

It's just that Yuffie is not a prince like Cornelia, who in ancient times would have established a government office. She doesn't really know who everyone is, but just picks one or two who are fairly impressive, or her sister. People who have been mentioned in the past are considered contacts. Back up and Aniya steps forward.

But Anya was even worse than Yuffie. She didn't even look at her and just asked Kallen to go down and order someone.

Kallen chose the people easily. She just chose the Xiuda Felt family from which she was born and then stepped back, leaving Veretta on the side to choose people. But unexpectedly, Veretta did not go out to choose someone. Instead, she shook her head slightly at Ito Cheng and gave up.

"Except for those who were selected, everyone else's homes will be searched immediately and the property will be nationalized." After Cornelia and others had finished selecting, Ito Cheng ordered loudly.

"Ah! You can't do this!" After hearing Ito Cheng's order, the nobles, ministers, and officers below immediately got into a mess and shouted loudly.

"Anyone who dares to speak dirty words will be killed without mercy!" Ito Cheng ordered again.

"Yes!" The surrounding soldiers immediately shouted loudly after hearing this, raising their weapons and aiming at the nobles, ministers, and senior officials of Britannia in the palace.

The more noble a person is, the more they are afraid of death. Seeing the soldier's behavior, the nobles immediately shut up and looked at Ito Cheng who was sitting at the top with resentment and unwillingness.

There were a few tough characters among the soldiers, but after being beaten into pieces by the soldiers with guns, they remained silent and pretended to be grandsons.

"Take them down." Ito Cheng said quietly.

"Yes." The soldiers responded in unison, and then used weapons to escort the nobles, officers, and ministers out of the meeting hall.

"How about it, is Bertolia in the crowd?". At this time, Ito Cheng turned to look at Cornelia and asked.

"No, it seems that just like the members of the royal family, they are not included in the di du." Cornelia shook her head and said.

"Really, forget it, wait until Britannia is completely destroyed." Ito Cheng shook his head slightly and said regretfully, then stood up from the high-backed chair and looked at the person who was still in the hall, with a smile on his face. The selected personnel looked happy and said, "They will be left to you. You can decide how to arrange them."

After saying that, he walked straight to the meeting hall without even looking at the crowd below. Behind him are Veretta and Anya, who have nothing to do with the selected group, Kallen, who is only related to the Siudafeld family but ignores them, and blames everything on Ke Nelia's Yuffie also left the meeting hall.

"You guys go back to the harem first. I have something to go to Japan." When they came to a deserted road, Ito Cheng stopped and said to Kallen, Veretta, Yuffie and Anya. .

Then Ito Cheng's figure disappeared, and he disappeared in front of Kallen and Veretta whose faces remained unchanged, Yuffie who was stunned, and Anya whose mouth was slightly open.

…

At the same time, on the other side, in the Ashford Manor located in Japan's Tokyo Concession, Ito Cheng's figure suddenly appeared in Mi Lei's room.

"Washing..." The moment Ito Cheng appeared, the sound of running water clearly sounded in his ears.

"It seems that I came at a good time." First he turned to look at the dark sky outside the window, and then turned to look at the glass with dim light. Ito Cheng whispered to himself with a smile on his face.

Then he moved his steps and quietly moved towards the dim room where the sound of water came from. Then when he arrived at the door, he unlocked the door without hesitation, pushed the door open and walked into the dim room.

In an instant, he was completely naked, with his hands lightly placed on the back of his head, lying on his back with his eyes closed, enjoying the impact of the water sprayed by the shower head. Mi Lei, with her back to him, appeared in Ito Cheng's eyes.

"It's so cold." At this time, Mi Lei, who suddenly felt a little chilly due to the air circulation, whispered to herself with a slight frown on her brows.

"Is it still cold now?" Ito Cheng smiled slightly after hearing Mi Lei's words. He didn't care whether his clothes would get wet with water. He stepped directly behind Mi Lei, spread out his arms and hugged her. , he put his head close to her ear and gently held Mi Lei's earlobe and whispered.

"Ah!" Mi Lei screamed subconsciously when she was suddenly attacked.

"Don't be afraid, it's me." Ito Cheng comforted her quickly, and then in order to prevent Mi Lei's voice from disturbing others, he directly reached out and kissed Mi Lei's lips, silencing her screams.

"Asshole, you scared me to death just now." After a short while, Mi Lei, who was able to breathe again, reached out and pinched Ito's waist, pinching him hard while saying angrily.

"Hehe, isn't this a rare opportunity?" Ito Cheng said with a shy smile as he made a painful look on his face.

"Huh." Mi Lei snorted immediately after hearing this, and said to Ito Cheng with a straight face, "You go out first."

"Look at how wet my clothes are, do you have the heart to kick me out like this and catch a cold?" Ito Cheng looked at Mi Lei pitifully and said.

"Who cares about you." Mi Lei hummed, and then continued after a pause, "Okay, you wash here, I'll wait for you outside." (To be continued.)
