"What's the matter? Do you arrange a place for us to stay, or do we have to stay in a hotel like the other workers who come to plant?" Sei Itō walked out of the port and asked Lacus, Aslan, and Butterfield.
"Let's stay in a hotel," Aslan said after looking at Lacus' unfamiliar face.
Lacus and Butterfield also nodded and agreed to Aslan's proposal.
"Okay then." Seeing this, Sei Itō naturally had nothing to object to and nodded in agreement. Then, he reached out and stopped an unmanned hover car. Although Aslan had not lived in plant for a long time, he was still a native and knew a lot about the famous hotels on plant's administrative satellite. He entered the name of the hotel he wanted to stay in and let the unmanned hover car drive them to the hotel at high speed.
"Mr. Butterfield, I'll have to trouble you to give me a list of the high-ranking military and political officials in plant." On the way to the wine hall, Sei Itō looked at Butterfield sitting in the back through the rearview mirror of the car.
"Got it." Butterfield replied with one hand resting on the edge of the car and enjoying the feeling of the cool breeze blowing on his cheeks.
"Even now, Mr. Itō is not willing to tell us how to control the high-ranking military and political officials to not rebel?" Lacus, who was at the right end of the front row of the car, turned her head and looked at Sei Itō beside her.
"It's better if you don't know about this method. Otherwise, I will definitely be labeled as untouchable in your hearts." Sei Itō smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Is it that serious?" Lacus said, somewhat baffled.
"Yes, it's that serious." Sei Itō nodded and confirmed, pretending to be serious.
"Is that so …" Lacus nodded. Then, she stopped asking about how Sei Itō controlled people.
"It's a bit boring sitting like this, Lacus. Sing a song for everyone. "After a few seconds of silence, Sei Itō said.
"Okay." Lux replied, then opened her mouth and used her clear voice to sing Akatsuki Chariot …
Just like that, the driverless car finally arrived at the hotel chosen by Aslan amidst Lux's beautiful singing. Sei Itō, Lacus, Aslan, and Butterfield got off the car and walked into the hotel lobby. They booked four rooms at the front desk and checked in.
Compared to the others, Sei Itō, who had a ridiculous amount of stamina, did not rest. He walked directly to the quantum computer in the hotel room and turned it on to log into the plant's network. He checked the situation of the plant from the network.
"Dang dang dang …" While browsing, Sei Itō didn't know how much time had passed. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, attracting Sei Itō's attention.
Sei Itō turned off his computer and stood up from his seat. He turned around and walked to the door. Then, he turned the doorknob and opened the door. Immediately, Sei Itō saw the figure of Butterfield, who maintained his disguise when he came.
Sei Itō turned sideways and made way for Butterfield to enter the room. After Butterfield entered the room, he closed the door again.
"This is what you wanted." Butterfield took out a USB from his pocket and threw it to Sei Itō.
"Thanks." Sei Itō thanked him as he connected the USB to the device in his hand.
"When are you going to make your move?" Butterfield asked.
"It depends on the situation. Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow … "Sei Itō shrugged.
"You really don't need our help?" Butterfield asked again.
"No need." Sei Itō shook his head.
"Alright then. I wish you good luck," Butterfield said with an indifferent expression. Then, under Sei Itō's gaze, he turned around and walked to the door. He opened the door and quickly disappeared behind the closed door.
Sei Itō retracted his gaze and walked back to the quantum computer. He turned on the computer and connected the USB to the computer. He pulled out the data inside.
In an instant, a large number of names with individual profiles appeared in front of Sei Itō like defense identification cards. Obviously, this list was not as simple as a list of the top executives of each department. It also contained their resumes and information.
"Should I say that they are indeed the Pink Princess and the Tiger …" Sei Itō sighed softly as he looked at the list of information on the screen that was so detailed that it made people speechless. Then, he put away those useless thoughts and focused on browsing the information on the computer.
With Sei Itō's photographic memory, it only took him about an hour to memorize all the information stored in the USB.
"The best method is still the same as when I controlled the Atlantic Federation and the European Union. Use the fastest speed to control the Zodiac Alliance's parliament, and then use them to gather the top executives scattered in various satellite clusters and the universe's fortresses to perform a batch of unified hypnosis …" Sei Itō thought as he turned off the computer and threw the USB into the trash can.
Thinking of this, Sei Itō immediately stood up, turned around, and walked out of the room. He didn't say goodbye to Lacus, Aslan, or Butterfield. He left the hotel and took a car to the Plant's conference center.
After more than forty minutes, Sei Itō arrived at the conference center.
After paying the Sei Itō in front of the car, Sei Itō jumped out of the car and spread out his mental power. While it formed a large-scale visual illusion, just like when he invaded the Atlantic Federation's military headquarters, he swaggered into the conference center while the Zaft soldiers looked at him as if he was air and searched for the parliament member on duty.
Soon, Sei Itō saw a blonde female parliament member in a dark green coat in a room that functioned as both a lounge and an office.
"Wha …" The blonde female parliament member had just spoken when her consciousness barrier was violently penetrated by Sei Itō's mental power, causing her to fall into a sluggish state. However, this state lasted less than a minute. As the blonde female parliament member's eyelids trembled slightly, her eyes regained their luster.
"Sir." The blonde female parliament member who came back to her senses called out respectfully.
"In your name, gather all the parliament members and military leaders for a meeting!" Sei Itō ordered as he walked straight to the chair behind the desk and sat down.
"Yes." The blonde female parliament member responded respectfully. She immediately picked up the phone on the desk and ordered someone to inform all the parliament members and military leaders to come to the conference center. As for the reason … it was that they received secret information that the Earth Alliance was going to wage war against PLANT.
It had to be said that people who could hold high positions were dedicated enough. Although they didn't know why the meeting was held, all twelve members of the Zodiac Alliance, including the new speaker Dilandal, and more than a dozen senior military officials of the Zaft rushed to the conference center as soon as possible.
At this time, Sei Itō no longer pretended. He immediately spread out his mental power and shrouded all the members in the dim conference room. He began to hypnotize the high-level officials of PLANT.
Under Sei Itō's powerful mental power hypnosis, it didn't take long for all the members in the conference center to be implanted by him and become central puppets under his control.
After that, Sei Itō gave them the order to gather officers and return to the province for debriefing as usual. Then, he moved into the conference center to make it easier for him to meet the high-level officials and hypnotize them. Of course, when Sei Itō moved into the conference center, he didn't forget to inform Lacus, Aslan, and Butterfield afterward so that they wouldn't be anxious.
It still took about a month for Sei Itō to completely take control of PLANT.
"Dang dang dang …" After completing his control of the high-level officials of PLANT, Sei Itō returned to the hotel he stayed at. He came to Lacus' room and knocked on the door.
"Creak ~" After about ten seconds, with a soft sound, Lacus, who still had an unfamiliar face, appeared from behind the opened door.
"Mr. Ito." Lacus was stunned when she saw Sei Itō appear at the door.
"It's me." Sei Itō smiled, then stretched out his hands and placed them on Lacus' cheeks. As her cheeks blushed, he removed the disguise on her, allowing her to return to her original appearance.
"PLANT is under control. It's time for us to appear openly." Sei Itō smiled as he retracted his hands.
"Huh!?" Lacus, who was still a little shy, was immediately shocked by Sei Itō's words.
"You should change your clothes first. I'll call Aslan and Butterfield." Sei Itō smiled, then turned around and walked to the two's room. He knocked on the door and asked the two to change their clothes.
Although they were extremely shocked that Sei Itō had silently taken control of PLANT, they quickly accepted this fact with the history of the Earth Alliance. They changed into more formal clothes and left the hotel with Sei Itō with their original appearances. They sat in the luxury car parked outside the hotel.
"Let's go!" Sei Itō said calmly.
Following his words, the Earth Alliance and PLANT broadcasted a piece of news almost at the same time …
"The new president of the Earth Alliance, His Excellency Sei Itō, will officially visit PLANT today to discuss matters related to PLANT joining the Earth Alliance … During this period, PLANT's famous singer and peace ambassador, Miss Lacus, will accompany him …"
"The president of the Earth Alliance!?"
"Miss Lacus!? Is it really Miss Lacus? "
"Join the Earth Alliance?"
"Is this for real?"
"…"
After the news was broadcasted, similar discussions of shock, disbelief, and anger immediately rang out in PLANT's various colonial satellites. However, this was not the time of war between Gundam and ED-D. Although there was a lot of noise, it had not reached the level of conflict. In addition, with Lacus accompanying them on this mission, the people of PLANT maintained their rationality and waited for the outcome with complicated feelings.
