After a brief silence, Su Tianhai made a decision. 'So, I'll just keep governing. The common people are never to blame. Besides...'
A strange light glinted in Su Tianhai's eyes. 'In this chaotic situation, maybe I can finally try to do some of the things that benefit the people—things that were impossible under the stable old order?'
'For instance...'
'...the issue of overdue wages for employees of the various capitalist families, for the factory workers... He was sure that Mr. Zhu would absolutely support this decision!'
Reaching the doorway, Su Tianhai paused without turning back. "What are you still doing here? Didn't you hear what Great Goddess Nuwa said? Let's do what we're supposed to do!"
Only then did the officials snap out of it, scrambling to rush out of the room. The Security Corps soldiers withdrew in an orderly fashion, with two soldiers quietly falling in behind each official... accompanied by a single civilian drone.
...
On the drone carrier.
