476 Jeslyn’s move nove Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Thanks to what Jeslyn did, fans channeled their anger at the Half–heart organization. To those who had no idea what the organization was about, Jeslyn employed a water Army to explain and tell them the dangers of having the organization around. (1)

The matter became so big that a petition was filed for the devilish Half–heart organization to be gotten rid of.

The matter was no longer that of fans‘ love for their idol, but of what is best for humanity. And Half– heart organization is certainly not!

Jeslyn’s fans started the petition for the government to intervene, however, before the evening of that day, there were more than a Million signatures from all over the world.

The government could no longer turn a blind eye anymore after people from PEACE got involved.

They called the President in for questioning and a conclusion was made after a fierce debate from the opposing sides.

One would wonder why there needed to be a parliamentary debate for such a diabolic matter, but when it was clear that some of those holding government offices had connections to the Half–heart organization, the opposing side couldn’t carry out laws on their own.

The President was given a one–week Ultimatum to solve the problem of unrest, or else he’d be impeached.

Even though the matter had been well–handed by PEACE, the water Army refused to give up. Engineered by Jeslyn, they instigated the masses to demand a public action, meaning whatever is to be done to eradicate the Half–heart organization must be done on camera for the world to witness.

A lot of people in power were enraged by that demand. Some felt that the masses were asking for too much, some felt their authority was being questioned and others felt threatened by the public’s sudden intelligence.

An example of the latter was the President. How was he supposed to eradicate people that he secretly has dealings with?

He never had a reason to hate Jeslyn but suddenly, he despised her more than anyone else.

Not just him. Jeslyn suddenly became the most hated person by everyone who had dealings or connections with the Half–hearts. But no matter how much they wanted to get rid of her, with Alpha Chaos and Damien standing right behind her, it would be difficult to touch her.

Meanwhile, the next day, at a pool, two old men were seen fishing along the bank while discussing the affair that was happening.

The one with white hair spoke first. “Third brother Lee, your First brother’s granddaughter is something else. I never expected her to make such a move.”

“Likewise, isn’t she your abandoned, Fifth Cousin’s daughter?” the other man replied…

“Indeed. However, Lily chose to follow your First brother on her own accord. Nobody drove her out of the family,” the white–haired man disagreed.

“Are you indirectly saying my Lee family is ruthless to their son?”

“It might seem. But that’s not my reason for calling you here. After that Lass showcased her intelligence yesterday and finally helped us put together forces around the world to get rid of those evil women, My Zhu family is willing to open doors to her and her mother. As my friend, I want to know if your Lee family has any hopes of lifting Tai Lee’s banishment?”

“The Ancestors haven’t said anything regarding that. Indeed, it’s been decades since Tai Lee was banished. He’s dead now, so his children should be brought back to the family. I’ll hold a meeting with them when I get back. But I’m more worried about one thing.”

“Which is?” the white–haired man asked.

“Will they agree to reconcile with us after we abandoned Tai Lee and Lily Zhu decades ago?”

“That… Alex came to us years ago to seek help for that worthless Hwang Min. She was humiliated in my absence and by the time the Army was given to her, the war had already ended. That mistake broke her relationship with Hwang Min. I’m sure she still holds a grudge.” The white–haired old man from the Zhu family sighed.

“The Youngsters tend to make irrational decisions sometimes. By now, I’m sure she must have seen that the humiliation and delay saved her from that catastrophe in the form of Hwang Min.” The old man from the Lee family felt his rod caught a fish and slowly pulled it out.

“Indeed. I have been watching Alex for years. She’s very stubborn, just like her father, Tai Lee. I just hope she’s not holding a grudge.”

“If Alex won’t return, we can’t force her. The most important thing is to get that lass, Jeslyn, to use her public image to bring Hwang Min down too.”

The white–haired man sighed as he leaned back on his chair. “For so many decades, there’s finally an opportunity to get rid of those evil people and cleanse the country.”

“If we had known that a celebrity’s power could help us achieve such an exceptional feat that PEACE couldn’t achieve in decades, there wouldn’t have been a truce in the first place,” The Lee old man added.

Years ago, when the Dark Age and Half–hearts were battling for power, they almost collapsed Country M’s economy. So the government created a body called PEACE.

Although PEACE has at its disposal, the most Elite forces of the Military personnel and police, they couldn’t launch an attack on the enemies however they wanted because the system was also corrupt.

Left with no choice, a truce was made. Neither of the two sides must outrightly cause war to eradicate the other. If found guilty of instigating war or there’s a power imbalance, PEACE would step in and render help to the victim to eradicate the troublemaker.

Although that law didn’t sit well with most members of the PEACE, they couldn’t go against it, afraid that a little mistake might cause the enemies to join hands and go against them.

While they portray themselves as the most powerful organization that is undoubtedly feared by all the law–breaking forces in Country M, only they knew that they weren’t as organized and powerful as the world thought them to be. So, they’ve all been walking on thin ice, hoping that none of those evil people senselessly break the truce.
