Transmigrating from a zombie world to become the mecha kings wife-Chapter 656: Bloody no misunderstanding
Chapter 656: Bloody no misunderstanding
Zorl did not want to explain the delicate friendship between his girlfriend and the governor so he didn’t respond. Jelly was a reporter, it was not a problem for her to be seen in public with Scarlet.
He did hope to listen to the conversation just in case Scarlet got his Jelly into trouble.
"Jelly Bean dear, it’s so great to see you." Scarlet welcomed her friend.
She was holding a cup of chocolate mint tea and she took a sip. It happened to be hot and burnt her tongue. She winced and handed the cup to Adler who poured out the tea without hesitating. It was nasty stuff according to him.
"Hot, hot." she whispered as she frowned at her brother. "Don’t waste my tea."
She turned her bright smile to Jelly and pointed to an empty unoccupied chair. "Sit down Jelly bean."
Her use of Jelly bean forced the reporter to blush. This was her nickname, a special one that only Zorl used when he referred to her. She couldn’t tell if Scarlet was teasing her or simply being friendly.
Jelly talked herself into being professional and she sat down. "Welcome back governor."
"I think we covered that last night." Scarlet answered.
Jelly pointed to the drone camera which was following behind her like a child. "We are live governor, this welcome is from all of the citizens."
Scarlet looked at the camera and she waved. "Oh thank you so much everyone. Wow, it has been too long since I last graced your screens, right?"
This was a planned interview that was meant to provide a closer and deeper understanding of wine country. She would be giving a personal tour.
"Indeed. The citizens are actually wondering when you plan to do a live broadcast. Some of them also want me to congratulate you on the great news about the expansion of your family." Jelly looked at Scarlet’s stomach.
Scarlet lit up with a delighted smile.
"Oh thank you everyone. It is great news indeed, a child is a blessing. So I will take this opportunity to congratulate other expectant mothers like myself. I hope your journey has been as beautiful as mine."
Just returned to the human realm with five other hounds, Severus snorted loudly as he made his way to Scarlet’s side. He was thinking there had been nothing beautiful about Scarlet’s pregnancy experience.
"Well, I am sure that all those expectant mothers out there are very pleased. Onto serious business though..." Jelly raised her arms and shrugged. "You shot down a couple of flying cars within a few minutes of your return.
The citizens are obviously divided about this. While some are wholeheartedly standing behind you because the Solarians have flaunted our laws others are already calling you reckless. What do you have to say about this?"
Scarlet had been expecting that question and she was surprised that it’s not where Jelly had begun.
"Careful." Adler mumbled out.
Scarlet received a text that was classified as urgent. It was from Markay and she read it privately before looking up at the cameras and smiling mysteriously.
"Uhm.., governor." Jelly called.
Scarlet nodded and said, "Oh, right, the shooting. Look we have been kind enough to host the Solarians in their times of trouble which shows how generous and kind we Sun people are.
However, there are a few bad fruits on the branch that are rotting the tree. Clearly, they have not appreciated our kindness and are deliberately choosing to pay us back with evil.
Now, as the governor, I will handle the matters related to the Solarians as I see fit. In fact, let me make it clear to you right now. I intend to pursue all the Solarians that have engaged in crime while on my planet.
They are going to be arrested and imprisoned unless they start heading back to their home planet immediately.
I have made it clear time and time again that I will not tolerate crime on the Blue star, this will not be turned into a lawless land by a handful of nobles so I am giving you until the end of the day to go back to your home world or suffer the consequences of your stupidity."
She spoke so seriously with cold eyes that looked intently at the camera. She didn’t play around with her words, smile or laugh. The gravity of her intentions needed to be felt on every corner of the Blue star.
She succeeded in stunning Jelly and everyone around with her words. Here they were, thinking that that the explosion would be the biggest problem of the day. Oh how wrong they were!
Adler’s very loud groan which sounded similar to the starting of a motorcycle was the sound which shook them all out of their frozen state.
"Are you bloody serious?" Jelly blurted out. Quickly, she covered her mouth and gasped. "Oh crap!" she whispered.
Scarlet rather curiously raised her eyebrows and smiled amusedly at the preferred language of use her friend had chosen. The word ’bloody’ in particular was quite new to Jelly’s vocabulary.
"Well, yes. I am bloody serious reporter Jelly. I do not plan to stop at making arrests I also intend to authorize the mecha warriors to blow up any illegal structure that has been put up on the planet by a citizen or a Solarian. We thrive best when there is order in our society and I aim to restore that order." she replied.
At that moment, her brothers decided to depart because their sister had just stirred up some shit. If she made good on her words, then the Solarians that had committed crimes would need help evacuating. A lot of unhappy calls would be coming in from the capital certainly.
"On that note, why don’t we take a trip around the vine yards. I am certain that many of our people are eager to see what wonders we have for them. Tell me something reporter Jelly, have you heard about barefoot wine?"
Jelly stood up and waited for Tion to help Scarlet as well. She couldn’t fathom how Scarlet could so quickly switch from declaring war to discussing wine. But, she had to keep up as a reporter.
They had taken only ten steps when Scarlet suddenly stopped and looked down at the ground. Her right foot was stepping on something soft__, and it was not something but rather someone.
"Oh my gosh Lord Basky what are you doing down there?" She gasped and waved at her guards.
Someone had tied up the noble lord and shoved him down along the path of one of the thickest grape vine trellises.
"What happened to him?" she asked.
Lord Basky lunged at Tion and the guard stepped to the side. Lord Basky went face down onto the ground.
"Do not show this on national tv okay. We don’t want the Solarians to think that we are going to tie them up and physically spank them or something. This is a misunderstanding okay.." Scarlet looked at the cameras and smiled politely. "It’s a misunderstanding. This is how we protect those who cannot protect themselves."
Those who were watching around the empire or outside of it were very sure it was no misunderstanding. Even if the cameras were turned off, they had already seen Lord Basky tied up and they saw her foot on his belly before she noticed him. Only a fool would believe her.
In the capital, the emperor groaned and felt what could possibly be the on set of a heart attack. He wanted low-key but this was another explosion.
"Please be a misunderstanding he whispered."
