Approaching Conspiracy
At the same time, Lacey, who had just woken up, received a message on her terminal.
"Mission proceed according to plan, unlocking authority 6, 18, 19."
Not only did they not continue to pursue her, they even unlocked more authority for her. What were those people trying to do?
Lacey looked at the strings of codes on the terminal, her face drained of blood. She just stared at it quietly, not saying a word.

The change of the chairman of the Elders Council immediately caused a huge uproar.
Because the Elders Council was an independent branch of the royal family, its main job was to supervise the royal family and provide pertinent opinions from the side. The change of its councilors and the appointment of the chairman completely followed the internal rules. Even the royal family could not easily interfere with the internal affairs of the Elders Council.
In the past, the Elders Council and the Church were similar in nature. There had always been open and secret fights with the royal family. Every successor would be highly valued by the royal family.
Phillips, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, aroused everyone's vigilance.
Ravel sat in the VIP seats, looking at the young man on stage. His amber eyes were calm and awe-inspiring, and he was silent.
The speech ended.
Phillips began to accept interviews from various major media outlets. His elegant speech and humorous and witty way of responding left an excellent first impression on everyone. From this point alone, no one could tell that this person was only a 20-year-old young man. He was more like a veteran in the political arena.
As the representative of the royal family, Ravel naturally went up to congratulate him.
"Mr. Phillips, I hope that the royal family and the Elders Council can support each other and jointly promote the prosperity of J Country."
Ravel said with a polite smile.
From his face, one could not tell that he was someone who had just experienced the danger of a building collapsing. His psychological quality was evident.
Phillips looked at him and smiled. "This is also the wish of the entire Elders Council."
Everyone had a smile on their faces, at least on the surface. Only one person did not. That person was none other than Zachesis, who had suddenly fallen from power. He hid in the shadows, his gaze cold as he looked at the young man on stage who had become the focus of everyone. A cold murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
When Adam found out about the changes in the Elders Council, it was already 5 hours after Phillips went on stage.
"Why didn't you report this to me immediately?"
Adam asked his subordinate with an unfriendly expression.
He was now rushing to the meeting room. Who exactly had such great power to change the structure of the Elder Council in an instant? Adam knew this better than anyone else. What he needed to do now was to confirm that person.
The subordinate quickly caught up with Adam and said in a low voice, "Your Excellency, we were ordered to be on standby. We don't have the authority to do such a thing."
"You were ordered to do so? What a joke. You are my direct subordinates. People of the same rank are simply … "
"I gave the order. Why? Are you dissatisfied with my order? "A clear voice came from behind.
Adam's dark red pupils suddenly contracted.
How could he not notice that someone was following him?
Adam's body stiffened. Then, he turned around and saw a young man with an angelic face walking over. However, the smile on his face could be described as evil. He smiled and said, "Sir, do you have a problem with me?"
Adam narrowed his eyes as he looked at the newcomer.
He had never seen this man in the organization before. But since he ordered his direct subordinates to be mobilized, there could only be one possibility. This man's rank is higher than his.
"Your rank is Red?"
Although Adam used a questioning tone, his tone was firm.
In the J Organisation, the number of Red rank high-ranking officers was kept a secret. Their gender, name, and age were all kept a secret. They might mingle with the lower ranks, or become officers of the same rank. One of their functions was to monitor the other members of the organization. Once they found a traitor, they had the authority to directly punish them.
For people like them, Red J was their natural enemy.
"Do you need me to prove it?" Phillips asked.
Adam's heart sank. Seems like it is.
He lowered his head and bowed, "Your Excellency, please forgive my rudeness"
"The ignorant are innocent" Phillips reached his hand out and smiled, "My current identity is Phillips Aslan Cuorid. For the next few days, let us work together for the organization"
"Yes"
Adam's voice was solemn.
"Since you're here, let's go to the meeting room together" Phillips's face showed a wicked smile and asked, "Do you like to watch a show?"
"What?"
Adam didn't understand.
Phillips said with a deeper meaning, "There's going to be a good show in a bit"
Good show?
Adam was a bit uncertain, but for now, it was better to listen to orders.
Night fell.
Zachsis walked in the quiet hallway of the Elder Council. His face was so gloomy that ink was about to drip out. Next to him was his trusted subordinate of many years. He said, "That Phillips brat has quite the background. He can mobilize half of the Elder Council members. We need to take the long view and come up with a countermeasure to take back the leadership"
"Oh? But he's already the Chairman of the Elder Council "the man next to him said.
A murderous intent flashed in Zachsis's eyes, "That depends on whether he has the ability to sit in that position!"
He had been in politics for so many years. What had he not experienced? Capsizing in the gutter this time was a complete mistake. He would not be discouraged. He must take back everything that belonged to him!
"Sir, are you planning to assassinate Phillips?"
"Hmph, that brat is courting death this time. Since he dared to do such a thing, he must be prepared to bear the consequences! This time, I've gathered all of you here to discuss a countermeasure. Have you contacted everyone? "Zachsis asked.
The man's glasses flashed white under the night sky. He pushed up his glasses and said in a deep voice, "I've arranged everything according to your instructions."
A smile appeared on Zachsis's face. He looked at his partner of more than ten years with gratification and said, "Hill, the way you do things has always made me feel at ease."
The man named Hill smiled and didn't say anything.
They stopped in front of the door of the meeting room. Hill pushed the door open and walked in. Zachsis followed closely behind.
But just as he took a step in, he was shocked by the people inside.
In the meeting room, all the people he had asked Hill to inform were there. But unfortunately, sitting in the middle of the round table was the newly appointed Chairman Phillips. Sitting in the second seat was Adam, whom Zachsis had been wary of.
Phillips crossed his arms and supported himself on the table. The back of his hand rested on his chin. He smiled at Zachsis, who was standing at the door in a daze. "It's so late and you're still holding an emergency meeting. Sir, you're really as diligent as the rumors say."
A drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Zachsis's forehead.
He glared fiercely at his most trusted confidant and narrowed his eyes. His voice was deep and filled with indescribable anger, "Hill, you betrayed me?"
Hill pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Zachsis, please don't misunderstand. My loyalty has always been to Sir Phillips."
The Phillips here represented the J Organisation.
"What did you say?" Zachsis's eyes widened. He looked at the others. They were all silent. But at this moment, everything was clear.
He said in disbelief, "Could it be that you're all …"
Zachsis had never expected that his confidants would all switch sides to that unknown Phillips. How could this be? Why did such a strange thing happen?
Suddenly, Zachsis noticed Adam sitting next to Phillips. A thought flashed through his mind.
How similar was this scene to the situation when Adam was appointed as the Deputy Chairman?
He was also parachuted in.
He also received the support of the majority of the people.
Could it be that there was some connection between the two of them?
Just then, the door was suddenly closed with a bang.
Zachsis was shocked. He reflexively looked behind him. He heard Phillips's clear voice again. "It seems that Sir has a deep grudge against me. Since everyone is here, let's talk openly."
Zachsis knew that he couldn't escape this time.
He clenched his fists tightly to maintain his remaining pride. He raised his head and looked at Phillips. He asked coldly, "How many people have you planted in the Elders Council? How many of the members of the Round Table Conference are your people? Hill has been in the Elders Council for more than ten years, but he said that he has always worked for you. When did you start to infiltrate? How long has your organization existed? "
"Clap, clap, clap …"
Phillips's applause was particularly ear-piercing in the quiet conference room.
He laughed and looked at Zachsis with admiration. "As expected of the former leader of the Elders Council. You've grasped the problem very accurately."
His praise made Zachsis unable to laugh. Instead, his heart kept sinking because he had to admit it.
Zachsis took a deep breath and asked again, "Then are you going to answer my question?"
Phillips curled his lips and shrugged. "Unfortunately, I don't have to answer a dead man's question."
"Dead man? What a joke. If you kill me now, do you think no one will notice? Phillips, you suddenly took this position. You don't know how many people are secretly unhappy. If you dare to touch me in the slightest, people with discerning eyes will suspect you! "
Zachsis was deliberately mystifying.
Even if he was going to die, he had to fight for a chance of survival.
Zachsis also secretly hoped that this young Phillips could be confused. As long as his heart wavered a little, he would win!
Seeing Phillips lowering his head to think, Zachsis laughed inwardly. The older the ginger, the spicier it was. This young brat was no match for him.
But in the next second, Phillips raised his head and looked at Hill, who was beside Zachsis, with some confusion. He asked, "Why haven't you done anything?"
Hill was stunned.
Zachsis's face was full of shock.
In the blink of an eye, murderous intent appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to hold Hill back, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. He seemed to feel his life slipping away. Zachsis lowered his head to look at his chest. It was already dyed red with blood. He looked in front of him in shock.
Phillips was smiling as he played with the gun in his hand. "Mr. Zachsis, you are so naive and cute ~"
As his voice fell, Zachsis fell heavily to the ground.
His eyes were wide open. Even in death, he couldn't believe that he was killed by a young brat.
He had clearly just killed someone, but Phillips's expression didn't change. He even smiled and said to everyone, "The fun show is over. Now, let's move on to the next round of meetings."
"Lilith's reputation is like the sun in the sky. I believe that before long, Duke Kruje will also stand on her side. In addition to his Clan's power, the chances of him ascending to the throne are very high. As long as we can firmly control her in our hands, J Country will belong to the J Organisation."
One of them said.
"But I'm afraid that Lilith won't be under our control at all. His Clan is a helper, but they will only help Lilith. If they know about the existence of the J Organisation, they will most likely change sides."
Another person retorted.
Phillips listened to everyone's argument. He looked meaningfully at Adam and said, "I believe that Adam will be able to eliminate our concerns for us. With the highest level of hypnotism, it will be easy to control Lilith."
Everyone's eyes focused on him.
