Chapter 1265: Chapter 1265: Ains Among the Turmoil (Long Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

January 17

Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, concurrently serving as Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in Dawn City, Director Vilint held a press conference to announce the Phase I investigation findings.

The findings largely confirmed the content previously mentioned in the press conferences held in Minte City, Yilan City, and Dawn City.

Vilint stated that the investigation concluded the incident was highly likely orchestrated by three major consortiums—Stars Pharma, Rockville Energy Group, and Welme Medical Consortium—supported by Note Intelligence and West Steel. These entities rallied over a dozen smaller consortiums and conspired with the cult organization, Starlight Worshipers, to execute violent acts aiming to overthrow the Federal order.

On the same evening, the aforementioned consortiums responded swiftly, denying any involvement in the incident. They criticized Vilint for overstepping his authority by hosting a press conference prior to receiving an official response from the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters did not respond to the incident.

The Dawn City incident further escalated online.

Following the Federal Bureau of Investigation press conference, Dawn City’s Ino Media released an investigative article on the cult organization, Starlight Worshipers.

The article featured interviews with detainees held in Dawn City, suspected of being members of Starlight Worshipers, and disclosed part of the cult’s information.

The author speculated in the article’s closing that Starlight Worshipers might be one of the linking factors behind the consortium alliance.

Due to its humorous writing style and revelations surrounding the Dawn City incident, the article quickly went viral across the Federation.

As more people read the article and video bloggers began discussing rumors related to Starlight Worshipers,

It was soon discovered that Starlight Worshipers is a small, obscure organization with few members and limited capabilities, theoretically unable to unite these powerful consortiums or reconcile those previously at odds.

Debates erupted among individuals holding differing viewpoints.

A rumor began spreading rapidly online, suggesting that Starlight Worshipers were merely an insignificant pawn in the incident and that the true mastermind was someone else.

This rumor posited the existence of a massive organization within the Federal elite, connected to the consortiums and even Federal Central, capable of uniting all upper echelons of the Federation.

Counterclaims quickly emerged online, dismissing the rumor as conspiracy theory and baseless. They argued that the incident was likely spearheaded by prominent consortiums like Stars Pharma, with no connection to any secret organization.

Additionally, others theorized that the incident might truly have no ties to the consortiums, and was entirely driven by Starlight Worshipers manipulating the mercenary corps of several large consortiums to assault Dawn City in an ambitious sacrificial ritual.

This theory was refuted by proponents of the earlier two viewpoints, who also argued with each other, resulting in heated debates across the internet.

As arguments expanded, uninvolved groups were dragged into the discourse, spreading the incident’s reach further.

Simultaneously, increasing attention was drawn to the enduring silence of Ains.

The Dawn City Government held a press conference, revealing a list of consortiums involved in the incident—including Stars Pharma—and announced long-term investigations and sanctions on their operations in Dawn City.

Within half an hour of the announcement, the consortiums collectively denounced the Dawn City Government, accusing it of "unreasonably exaggerating the scope," "causing mutual damage," and "misdirecting blame onto unrelated entities."

A Stars Pharma spokesperson warned that if the consortiums couldn’t operate normally, they would be forced to downsize, leading to massive unemployment in Dawn City—adversely affecting the city’s overall functioning. They urged the government not to act "recklessly."

The Welme Medical Consortium echoed this sentiment, stating that consortiums on the list provide substantial employment for Dawn City. Welme Medical and Stars Pharma alone operate over 40% of hospitals and medical institutions in the city and supply over 55% of medical equipment.

The consortium further warned that if the Dawn City Government persisted in its actions, they would be compelled to organize hospital and medical institution shutdown protests.

The Dawn City Government did not respond to the consortiums’ statements.

The stocks of major consortiums, led by Stars Pharma and Welme Medical Consortium, plummeted at market opening.

The consortiums announced potential downsizing plans.

Large-scale anti-Christos government protests emerged in the streets of Dawn City.

Some gangs attempted to incite chaos during the protests but were quickly subdued by nearby City Defense Army soldiers and soldiers from mercenary corps hired by the Nolanka Group.

Certain medical institutions under Stars Pharma and Welme Medical Consortium began halting operations to protest, leaving large crowds of patients gathering in hospital plazas.

In response, the Dawn City Government swiftly organized teams to set up temporary medical points near closed institutions, providing a surplus of doctors and interns offering low-cost medical services to patients.

Reportedly, doctors staffing these medical points came from various cities, including Kay City, Rock City, Limen City, and Yilan City, alongside students from Qiming Medical College.

Journalists from Ino Media covered these temporary points, interviewing doctors and medical staff onsite.

The report revealed that many of these doctors, despite only recently earning their medical qualifications or being interns, possessed years or even decades of practical experience.

Most had been underground doctors in their respective cities prior to enrolling in Qiming Medical College, where they obtained formal qualifications and became legitimate doctors.

These doctors were mobilized by hospital calls, preparing a week in advance to aid Dawn City.

Currently, construction has begun on three new Qiming Hospitals in Dawn City, anticipated to open soon.

Dawn City already had Qiming Hospitals operating, widely recognized among residents of Aston District and Kwei District. Coupled with this report’s clarifications, locals quickly embraced the temporary Qiming Hospital points.

Many residents noted they preferred Qiming Hospitals due to their more affordable prices compared to consortium-operated institutions.

Stars Pharma and Welme Medical Consortium held a joint press conference, lambasting Qiming Hospitals for establishing temporary medical points near their closed institutions as "despicable commercial competition" and "immoral poaching of clients."

After the press conference, Qiming Hospitals posted psychiatric treatment guidelines on their social media account.

That afternoon, Dawn City’s city council initiated impeachment proceedings against Christos.

The consortiums experienced further stock declines.

Discussions concerning the Dawn City incident had spread across all cities in the Federation, dominating the national trending chart for over a week.

At the same time, growing skepticism toward Ains’ silence intensified.

In the face of such a chilling and destabilizing incident, Federal Central’s deathly silence was extraordinarily abnormal, causing even skeptics who previously dismissed the idea of a mastermind organization to waver in doubt.

A startling message rocked the network overnight, shocking many when they woke up the next morning to headlines abuzz with speculation:

"An entity called the Order Church has long controlled the Federation’s upper echelon. The Dawn City incident is just their way of suppressing dissent."

Within half an hour, the message topped every major social media platform’s trending lists, reaching countless users.

Yet, within the next half hour, its visibility began declining sharply until it vanished altogether from all trending charts.

Observers noted this "abnormality"—despite high engagement levels, the message’s "trend" dissipated suspiciously fast.

Users discovered their discussions around the topic became "visible only to themselves," with posts hidden from other viewers entirely.

Prominent bloggers with fierce discussions on the matter were silenced, accused of "violating community guidelines."

Such occurrences only deepened the uncertainties among skeptics, pushing even non-believers toward suspicion.

That evening, the trending charts became flooded with entertainment news.

The late iconic star Qi Ke’s agency announced the completion of organizing her posthumous works, ready to release as a digital album.

Subsequently, juicy scandals and private photos involving multiple popular celebrities emerged.

A long-time blonde star claimed she once had "a delightful encounter" with Dawn City Mayor Christos, during which he tipped her ten thousand federal coins.

She disclosed further that they had a child together and announced plans to sue Christos for unpaid child support over the years.

That evening, Vitland City Government officially announced its intent to implement pilot medical reforms.

Numerous top-tier bloggers discussing Dawn City’s incident suddenly went silent or shifted attention to unrelated topics.

Amid the overwhelming ping-pong of public discourse, some began noticing Ains’ continued silence.

January 25

Ino Media published a sprawling feature article on its homepage titled "Order Church—From Consortiums to Ains, Who Controls the Federation."

The article elaborated on the Order Church’s operations, its infiltration into Federal Central and consortiums, and its influence, utilizing evidence purportedly obtained from "informants."

The details were astonishingly extensive, as though extracted directly from the safes of consortium headquarters.

In parallel, Ino Media released numerous digestible short videos disseminated across social media platforms.

The content quickly garnered mass attention among netizens.

By midday, nearly all Ino Media’s third-party social accounts were suspended or blocked.

Nevertheless, new videos began circulating through alternative online channels.

January 26

Ino Media continued updating its feature and released more comprehensive evidence.

The audience grew larger, prompting many to call city governments and Federal Central to inquire about the information’s authenticity.

Multiple jurisdictions issued public notices advising citizens not to trust "internet rumors."

Ains remained unresponsive to any inquiries.

January 29

Ino Media relentlessly updated its feature, utilizing intricate evidence, top-tier media production, and its pre-established fan base from previous major events to ensure widespread dissemination across the Federation.

The debates reignited as more people recalled the peculiar "trend disappearance" incident.

January 30

Dawn City Government and Dawn City’s Federal Bureau of Investigation hosted a joint press conference revealing new investigative results.

During the conference, Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Vilint identified the alleged mastermind: the Order Church.

Through calm and measured speech, Vilint proclaimed the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s conclusion:

The Order Church’s Archbishop leveraged their influence to exploit grievances held by Stars Pharma, Welme Medical Consortium, and Rockville Energy Group toward Dawn City.

They approached Note Intelligence and West Steel over aspirations concerning Minte City and enlisted Menshu Group’s support while rallying minor consortiums to form a coalition.

The coalition’s ultimate goal was to destabilize Dawn City’s government, installing a mayor favorable to their interests.

Vilint detailed additional information about the Order Church, which aligned consistently with Ino Media’s revelations.

The press conference unleashed a torrent of public backlash, validating prior speculations with formal confirmation from Dawn City Government and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

As though an eagle beneath tempestuous skies spread its wings wide, Federal discourse erupted like a fierce, unstoppable storm.

That night, from Ains to Vitland, phones at city governments were inundated with calls.

Ains

"Madness! Absolute madness!"

A finely built, elegantly poised elderly man slammed his wooden desk forward, the echo reverberating fiercely as he glared at the figures standing solemnly before him, roaring furiously,

"What’s Vilint trying to do? Does he think his family can shield him? Does he think we wouldn’t dare to touch him? He should’ve never been sent to Dawn City. Him staying with Christos, that lunatic, and that enigma, K—it’s bound to explode in our faces!"

His hoarse, piercing voice resembled an old wolf’s howl, "These maniacs are disasters waiting to happen. We must eliminate them immediately—including K. After this, K’s faith must be eradicated from the Federation universally. I sense it; K won’t end well."

The figures standing before him lowered their heads, avoiding the man’s gaze.

Ding-dong—

As the wood-splintering fury subsided, the sound of a crisp doorbell broke the tension.

"Come in,"

The man took a deep breath before speaking slowly.

Click—

A servant pushed the door open. His eyes never wandered to the overturned desk; instead, he bent slightly and said softly, "Sir, we’ve received an invitation."

"From where?"

The elder frowned slightly. "Tell them I don’t have time for parties today."

"Sir,"

The servant hesitated momentarily, careful in his wording, "It’s from the Presidential Palace."
