The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

The top floor lounge of the Sector-class frigate Blue Ghost.

"Frederich still refuses to see you today, Aduo?"

Feng Jingyi raised his head from his thoughts, looked at Feng Mengduo who walked into the lounge with a sullen face, and asked worriedly.

Feng Mengduo strode to the table, poured herself a glass of ice water, and drank it all in one gulp.

The icy water mixed with crushed ice poured down her throat, but it failed to cool down her blood, which was as hot as fire, at all.

Feng Mengduo slammed the heavy cup on the table and said angrily, "He still refused to see me and left me alone for hours. He got mad at Marshal Schnatter and took it out on me!"

Feng Jingyi sighed: "Forget it, Aduo, now I am no longer the Speaker of Yan State, it is normal for him to refuse to see you, you should not go to him for the time being."

"boom--"

The glass that Feng Mengduo was holding tightly in her hand suddenly shattered. The sharp fragments pierced deeply into her palm, and dark red blood flowed down her wrist.

"Aduo!" Feng Jingyi was startled and quickly stood up to check Feng Mengduo's injuries, but was nailed to the spot by Feng Mengduo's sharp and cold gaze.

"Father." Feng Mengduo stared into his eyes and said, "If you are not the Speaker of Yan Country, then who is?"

"That wild girl who grew up in an orphanage? That bastard who doesn't even have parents, how can she be worthy of him!"

"Father, she kept you under guard for two days, and I found a way to rescue you. But after just two days, have you been frightened by her and are you planning to surrender like a stray dog, just like we did in the Temple of Dawn?"

Feng Jingyi felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter, who had once been full of admiration for him, become so mean and harsh.

He slowly raised his hands, looked into Feng Mengduo's eyes which were flashing scarlet light, and said in a soft voice: "Aduo, take a pill first, and listen to me slowly."

Feng Mengduo followed Feng Jingyi's gaze and looked at the table. There were dozens of colorful round beads scattered on a transparent crystal high-foot tray.

She suppressed the rage that wanted to tear everything apart and grabbed one and swallowed it.

My brain, which had been burning as if it were submerged in boiling magma, finally regained its clarity.

Feng Mengduo lowered her head, and sweat dripped down her chin onto the table, blooming into light-colored pearl flowers.

She said dejectedly, "I'm sorry, father, that's not what I meant. I thought I could resist the side effects of the second evolution potion with my own willpower..."

Feng Jingyi shook his head, walked forward, pulled up her injured hand, carefully pulled out the glass fragments that were stuck in her flesh, pressed open the small treatment robot that was always on hand, and put her hand inside.

Seeing Feng Mengduo's hand recovering under the effect of the healing beam, Feng Jingyi sighed, "Aduo, my daughter, you are trying to help me. How could I not understand your painstaking efforts? I have seen everything you have done for me and our family."

"It's just that I didn't say that woman is qualified to be the Speaker. What is she qualified for? What I meant is that Friedrich refuses to see you now because he is still waiting and watching."

"He was waiting for me to make a declaration to the world. He wanted to see if I could really establish a government in exile and, after exposing the woman's crimes to the public, could I overthrow her in one fell swoop and regain the support of the people at home and the recognition of the international community."

"The fact that he didn't take the starship back is the best proof that he hasn't made his final choice yet."

"After all, these top international oligarchs will never bet on just one chess player."

Feng Mengduo took a deep breath and gritted her teeth and said, "These cunning jackals, we have already agreed to what he asked for, what else does he want? Sooner or later, I will return the humiliation he has brought upon my father and me double!"

Feng Jingyi patted her shoulder and said, "Of course, Aduo, wait until I issue a declaration of exile, and am elected as the head of the Earth Alliance government as the head of the exiled regime, and then successfully establish a good relationship with the Interstellar Federation Parliament, then Frederick will no longer be of any use to me."

"These chaebols have deep roots all over the world. Some chaebol families have a history that is even older than the emerging countries."

"Before the world order was solidified, we couldn't do anything to him. When the Earth joined the Interstellar Federation, everything was reshuffled. He still wanted to be the shadow government behind the scenes. It was really a foolish dream."

"I really want to kill him right now." The flame in Feng Mengduo's heart was rising again. It was obvious that eating a sentinel spirit bead could sustain her for at least a day.

Feng Jingyi was observing her expression all the time. Noticing that her eyes were turning red again, he quickly took out a sentinel spirit bead and fed it into her mouth.

"Aduo, haven't you noticed? When your emotions fluctuate greatly, the effect of the medicine wears off quickly. We can't delay any longer. We have to find a way to take the spirit pearl out of your body."

Feng Mengduo's eyes were bloodshot, and she shouted hoarsely, "Why do you want to take it out? Why? I won't accept it, father, I won't accept it!"

"Why can she mutate and become a Sentinel, and a top-level Sentinel with a spiritual power so high that it cannot be measured by instruments, while ordinary people like us who cannot mutate, just want to have a little bit of power, but have to suffer the pain of being burned by fire and having our hearts dug out and our bones crushed? Why is God so unfair!"

Feng Jingyi hugged his daughter's trembling shoulders, patted her back and comforted her, "It's okay, Aduo, it's okay, everything depends on human effort, she won't be so proud for long, I will soon take back everything that belongs to us."

"Since Frederick is unwilling to participate in the exile declaration, we will do it ourselves."

"These days, the robot has completely collected all the data of Yan Shupei's appearance, voice, and movements. It is easy to simulate the image data of the acting president of the Central Academy of Sciences."

"Besides, we have so many other pieces of evidence. Any one of them can wash away the dirty water that woman threw at me and let people see for themselves what a cunning, treacherous and scheming person she is, a deceitful and anti-human element."

Feng Mengduo calmed down. Feng Jingyi leaned his head and kissed her temples, saying softly, "Good girl, since Yan Shupei won't let go, you don't have to speak again in the future."

"And his talented but stubborn disciple, who also evolved into a Sentinel twice, has never gone berserk. We can let the robot dissect him and see if there is any way to completely cure you without taking out the Sentinel's Spirit Pearl."

Feng Mengduo nodded, stepped out of Feng Jingyi's arms, and said, "I'll do it right away."
