06:55 P

The heart of Hell's Kitchen, the Authority's headquarters - Helserem Tower.

In the director's office, Xia Xiu sat upright in a large office chair, with his hands crossed on his chest, his chin gently resting on the crossed hands, and several virtual screens surrounded him.

The largest one in the center of the screen displays a detailed map of Hell's Kitchen, which is a microcosm of Hell's Kitchen. Each red dot represents a key goal in the plan he will implement next.

The other screens surrounding the map displayed various intelligence and messages, from the movements of the secret cult forces to the latest reactions of the ever-changing Workshop family, all of which were under Xia Xiu's control.

[Hell’s Kitchen News Report]

The police and the administration have also stepped up the investigation and punishment of traffic violations, and at the same time reminded citizens to pay attention to daily safety and avoid unnecessary accidents.

The Hell's Kitchen area has always been a vibrant community, but the recent frequent accidents remind us that only by strengthening safety management and ensuring the safety of residents and tourists can the prosperity and development of this area be ensured.】

"Dong dong dong——"

Xia Xiu's eyes were finally fixed on the virtual screen displaying the latest information on Hell's Kitchen. His right index finger tapped the table unconsciously. This action seemed to be while evaluating the information.

"The Wanhua Workshop family has got a lot of luck today."

The data on the screen showed that among the accidents that occurred in Hell's Kitchen today, 267 were directly related to members of the Everchanging Workshop family. This number accounted for three-tenths of all accidents today.

Although the number of these three-tenths of cases seems quite alarming, Xia Xiu knows that the story behind them is far more complicated than the numbers themselves.

Although there are only thirteen names on the "gift list" provided by Mira Wanxiang, these names represent all the necessary targets within the workshop family.

The actions of these thirteen people directly or indirectly led to today's astonishing data.

Moon Rabbit collaborated with [Adam] to complete comprehensive intelligence collection and in-depth investigation of these targets in less than a day.

This kind of efficiency and accuracy makes Xia Xiu quite satisfied, but it is not enough.

He is not showing violence now, he is precisely controlling the entire situation to ensure that the final goal can be achieved smoothly.

"Adam, is the siege net with two ends still there?"

[Restrictions and controls have been carried out in accordance with your instructions——]

[This operation has obtained the control authority for part of the projection of the Wall of Sighs in Heaven——]

[At present, the encirclement network has been fully completed——]

[External communication has been cut off: Blocking any form of communication between the Workshop family and the outside world (including other families, organizations or forces), including but not limited to physical communication, genealogy emails, and technological means of messaging. The target organization has been isolated.

Prevent them from obtaining foreign aid or transmitting information.

Internal connections have been severed: Restricting or completely blocking communications between members of the Gongfang family, especially for individuals or groups that have been identified as opposition and neutral factions. At present, a large part of the organizational structure within the Gongfang family has collapsed

, its ability to coordinate actions has been greatly reduced.]

[Information flow has been restricted: Through the interference of the Adam monitoring system and the Moon Rabbit part, the flow of information within the Workshop family has been restricted, especially information about the actions and plans of the Authority. The [Crown Element] provided by you has been horrifying

Take over the Workshop Alien Network to review and control all shapeshifters' abnormal emails, messages and data transmissions to ensure that sensitive information is not leaked or spread.

Restricted Communication Scope: Strict geographic and scope restrictions on the communications allowed within the Workshop family, allowing only minimal communications under specific circumstances, and communications only within specific areas authorized by the Authority.]

"You did a good job, Adam." Xia Xiu nodded in satisfaction.

It is actually not difficult to make those unexpected events happen. What is difficult is how to make them appear to the outside world as if they have never happened after they occur. This is the moment when wisdom and ability are truly tested.

In that far-reaching chess game, the ability to secretly control the situation and make everything seem to happen naturally while being completely under one's own control is an extremely precious and powerful talent.

The fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven has already demonstrated this extraordinary talent when dealing with the complex games of the inner earth civilization.

Not only are his actions accurate, but he can always quietly guide events to develop in a direction beneficial to the Kingdom of Heaven at critical moments.

Naturally, this ability has not escaped the eyes of [Xin Liezhi], who is known for his unfathomable and cunning character.

He wanders in the shadows of the stars, forever looking for those chess pieces that can bring Him greater power and influence.

To Him, Hugh Abraham was like a supernova falling from the sky, possessing immeasurable potential and value.

He is full of desire for the ability of the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven, hoping to turn this outstanding representative of the Kingdom of Heaven into His own divine choice and become a key link in advancing His complex plan.

If Xia Xiu is willing to nod to him and express his agreement, [Xin Liezhi] is even willing to pay a "miracle" for it.

"Report on the progress of Operation Seven Points."

Xia Xiu continued to ask [Adam] in a calm tone.

[Tulsi and Moon Rabbit's Moon Watchers have secretly visited the patriarch and management of the Everchanging Workshop.

As expected, they will select a new speaker when seven o'clock comes, and the only old-fashioned telephone that can communicate will express respect and...surrender to you and the Authority.]

"Seven o'clock." The blond young man repeated softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was satisfied with this progress.

The time now is one minute until seven o'clock.

Xia Xiu's eyes unconsciously stared at the ticking of the second hand on the clock in the office. Then, his eyes turned to the antique-like old-fashioned telephone on the table. This rocking dial telephone was in this high-tech office.

It looks particularly conspicuous in the office.

He asked the Director of Intelligence, Pansy Jane, to put this here at noon today. It is a symbol."

He stopped talking and the room fell silent.

However, this silence was soon interrupted.

Dangdangdang——

The old telephone made a rapid "ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding."

It's exactly seven o'clock now.

On time and loud.

Night has fallen, and the rapid ringing is not only a signal of the kaleidoscopic workshop family's surrender, but also heralds that his and the administration's rule in Whisper Square will enter a new stage.

This is also proof that his next "Midwinter Clearing Plan" is going smoothly.

Xia Xiu slowly stretched out his hand and picked up the heavy old-fashioned telephone.

The silence on the other end of the phone seemed to last for centuries. Xia Xiu acquiesced to the existence of this silence. Instead of urging him, he indulged the other party's weakness and incompetence.

This is a manifestation of his 'mercy'.

Finally, a voice broke the silence.

It is so humble and full of awe, every word seems to be trembling to express endless respect and respect.

"Dear Your Excellency 'Saint Abraham', this is the Everchanging Workshop, and I am the new talker of the family after many choices - Mira Wanxiang.

At this most wise and decisive moment for this family, I, with the will of our entire family, express our deepest respect and most sincere surrender to you and the entire administration."

Yes - 'Saint Abraham'.

It seemed that poor Mira Wanxiang was so frightened that she was a little incoherent.

But the director of the bureau did not correct him. He accepted the other party's title as a matter of course, as if that was what he was supposed to be called.

"Mira Wanxiang, I have received your respect."

Xia Xiu finally spoke, his voice was calm and gentle, with goodwill.

"We hope that our cooperation can bring benefits to both parties, while also ensuring peace and order in Whisper Square."

Mira Wanxiang's excited and trembling loyal reply came from the other end of the phone.

"The Everchanging Workshop is willing to put aside all past differences and fully support every decision and action of the Administration. Tonight, I am here, as the spokesperson of the family, to solemnly promise our loyalty and obedience."

This unequal conversation did not last long. After listening to Mira Wanxiang's expression of surrender and commitment, Xia Xiu responded to the other party succinctly with only a few words.

After the phone conversation ended, Xia Xiu gently hung up the phone and leaned back on his office chair. His blond hair shimmered under the light, and his golden eyes reflected the dancing data spots on the screen.
