"Chuan, why have you stopped again?"
"We're heading to the Council Hall first." Sima Chuan said as he pulled Luo Mengqi towards the direction of the Council Hall.
At that moment, Selma was escorting Aitak to the Starlight Platform, connecting the communication devices for the entire planet. Almost simultaneously, everyone on planet dr-5 witnessed Aitak being brought onto the Starlight Platform.
The entire planet was in shock, especially Jessica, Lalbin, the Chief of Security, Loki, and Adela. The difference was that Jessica and her group had no idea what was happening or how this situation had arisen. However, Adela's family and Markett had been evading the Mechanical Guard's pursuit, and upon seeing Aitak's condition, they began to piece together what was going on. Qiong and Yiling decided not to stop the chaos but instead joined Markett and his group.
As Sima Chuan and Luo Mengqi arrived outside the Council Hall, they were stopped by several Mechanical Guards.
"Unauthorized personnel, leave immediately," one of the Mechanical Guards ordered.
"We're here to find Star Master Aitak."
"Hmm?"
"I said we're here to find Star Master Aitak," Sima Chuan reiterated.
"Aitak has instigated the chaos and has already been taken by Star Empress Selma to the Starlight Platform. If you're looking for him, that's where you should go," the Mechanical Guard said dismissively.
"No," Sima Chuan shook his head. "We're here to find the real Star Master Aitak."
"What? Is there a fake Aitak?"
"Yes, I believe the real Star Master Aitak is inside," Sima Chuan said as he pulled Luo Mengqi forward.
"Alert." One of the Mechanical Guards shouted, and the others quickly surrounded them.
"Warning: If you take another step forward, we will attack you in the name of invasion."
As soon as the warning was issued, Sima Chuan halted and scanned the Mechanical Guards before him.
"Very well, step back and return immediately." However, this Mechanical Guard was overestimating himself. Sima Chuan swept his leg across, sending all of the Mechanical Guards flying backward.
"Invasion! Enemies are invading!"
"Scan complete. Chuan, wanted."
The other Mechanical Guards immediately sprang into action. Some took defensive positions while others began to attack. However, Sima Chuan and Luo Mengqi transformed directly.
"Mengqi, focus," Sima Chuan instructed after kicking a Mechanical Guard away.
"Don't worry, how could anything happen to me?" Luo Mengqi dismissed Sima Chuan's concern.
Before long, all the Mechanical Guards were down. One of them scanned Sima Chuan and Luo Mengqi as it fell, simultaneously sending a message—extreme danger.
"Swish, swish, swish..."
As Sima Chuan and Luo Mengqi slowly approached the Council Hall, shadows blocked their path.
"Hmph." Sima Chuan looked at the Shadow Legion before him and said, "It seems Selma and Nai have indeed teamed up. Aitak is in danger now."
While the entire planet was discussing what was happening, Selma casually tossed Aitak aside.
Some people reacted angrily towards Selma upon witnessing this situation.
"I know you all have many doubts in your hearts, and I understand he is your respected Star Master," Selma said with a smile. "However, up until now, you can set aside your respect for this good Star Master Aitak."
"Huh?" Many people were puzzled by this, but some began to guess the reason.
"Now I ask you, how do you feel about the recent riots?"
"Hate."
"Fear."
"Anger."
"Yes, you are angry and afraid. But have you ever thought about the cause of this 'riot'? Do you know why this is happening, my dear people?
"Although some of you just cursed me and harbor resentment towards me, I wonder how you will feel when I reveal the truth of the matter? However, I do not care about these things; I understand you. Now, to those mechanical beings who are destroying our town, 'If you do not want your esteemed Star Master to come to any harm, then surrender quietly and let us handle it.'" Selma spoke passionately.
When the crowd first heard Selma's words, they were particularly shocked, for even the dullest among them could understand Selma's meaning.
The Mechanical Soldiers who were rioting seemed to receive a command; they dropped their weapons, halted their actions, and surrendered obediently.
"Oh no, this can't be real. I don't believe it," some in the crowd shouted upon witnessing this scene.
"Star Master Aitak, is this really happening?"
"Damn it, Aitak, you've destroyed my home."
...
Disbelief, confusion, curses—emotions ran high. Meanwhile, Aitak lay on the ground, looking dejected.
"It’s impossible; how could father do such a thing?" Adela had completely lost her composure, appearing almost frantic.
"Calm down, child. You must believe in your father; he is not that kind of person," Kathy reassured her.
"Yes, I believe Uncle Aitak is not like that," Betis said with a forced smile towards Adela.
The others lowered their heads and fell into silence.
"Okay, okay. I understand now." After processing the information, Qiong gathered everyone together. "This is a conspiracy by Selma and Nai. The one up there is not the real Star Master Aitak; the real Star Master Aitak is still in the Council Hall, where Sima Chuan and Luo Mengqi are trying to rescue him."
"Is that true?" others asked.
"It is true," Qiong nodded affirmatively.
"Oh no!" Markett slapped his forehead. "How could I forget about cloning technology? The one up there must be a clone created by Nai, it's fake."
"Really, that's great!" Adela exclaimed as she jumped into Kathy's arms.
"I knew your father wasn't that kind of person," Kathy said with a smile. The atmosphere lightened instantly, and they even chatted occasionally.
"People of the planet, you have probably understood by now. Yes, Aitak pretended to care about you, but secretly he wanted to take control of the entire planet for himself. So Aitak started a rebellion, intending to frame Nai and me. He thought we were conspiring together; I wanted to rule the planet and establish a monarchy, while Nai aimed to develop the planet into a true technological empire," Selma said, her tone laced with anger.
"Hmph, that's just you and Nai," Adela pouted, looking dissatisfied.
"Don't worry, Sima Chuan will handle it," Kathy said with a smile.
"Nai, a dedicated Mechanical Security Chief. Citizens of Starlight City, you haven't seen him around lately, have you?" It was only after Selma's words that the people of Starlight City realized that Nai had indeed been missing for some time.
"After discovering Aitak's conspiracy, Nai did everything he could to dissuade him. However, Aitak was very resistant to Nai's advice and directly imprisoned him," Selma paused for a moment. "I know many of you still have doubts; now let me call forth the various city lords and Regional Leaders along with Nai."
The city lords and Regional Leaders all confirmed that they were aware of Aitak's conspiracy and that the Council Hall had captured him not long ago. Then Nai stepped onto the stage, his clothes tattered and dirty.
Nai looked pained as he spoke: "When I first learned of Star Master Aitak's conspiracy, my initial reaction was disbelief. Later, I realized it was all true, so I tried my best to dissuade him, but I failed. I feel very ashamed. However, I believe Star Master Aitak must have temporarily lost his way; when he regains his senses, he will surely apologize to the entire planet."
"Such a good actor! I'll call Sima Chuan to teach them a lesson later. Hmph!" Adela waved her fist proudly.
