Chapter 38: Null & Void…?
The President's words were like bolts of lightning descending upon the heads of every citizen.
No one could simply believe that they even had traitors inside them and that too in such a short span of ti after the Advent.
Hell… even in those 21st century webnovels the traitors cos way too late, when humanity knows what they were facing and the consequences of joining the other side but this!!!
Wasn't this simply defying all logic.
The faces of the council mbers turned black as they heard the President.
They never imagined that the President will directly expose everything without thinking of the larger impact it will have on the society.
They just could not understand how the hell soone so short sighted beca the President.
"My... my sir President is kidnapped!" Reven's voiced. He tried to show a shocked expression.
And continued "But who the hell are the traitors."
As he looked at the council mbers with so suspicion.
Veins ca out of the foreheads of the council mbers.
"Looks like the President is going to say the nas of the traitors. Let's continue to watch." Reven pointed at the hologram.
Zoop-!
Suddenly the hologram stopped.
"What? What the fu*k? Sobody stopped the hologram."
WAAAAAHHH!!!
As the hologram stopped chaos spread throughout ISC.
It was really a good luck that Reven had cut off the international servers of the 'Empress' or else the whole world would have gone crazy by now.
While this was happening outside. Inside the hall where Reven and the Council were standing.
Huff-! Huff-!
All the Council mbers could be seen breathing heavily with dark expressions.
[Inappropriate use of the authority detected.]
[Taking so of the authority back until clearance.]
[You shall not be able to use any authority beyond controlling the military and its affiliates.]
[For further details contact the President.]
[Authority code shifting.]
[Task Completed.]
-----
A few minutes back.
Just before the President was about to announce the nas of the traitors.
The Council mbers ordered Reven to go out of the room and then ordered Empress to stop the video and erase it of the internet.
This in turn violated the rules of using the 'Empress' and thus their authorities were reduced.
At the sa ti after coming out Reven's face had a wolfish grin as he called Ankan and said "It is ti. Let the bill pass ASAP."
Then he cut the call and went to the field behind the parliant building and reached near the hideout where Aie, Emma and Atal were kept.
After taking them out of there, he told Atal and Emma to go inside the Parliant building and told Ankan to look after them.
Then he called Aarav and asked "All set?"
"Yes. Everything is ready."
"Good. Now tell Dwayen to absorb all the Ardor from the people. We don't want the people going berserk and destroy properties."
"I have already told him. Now I am coming towards your location."
"That's my old man alright." With that Reven cut the call.
As Reven was doing all this the Council mbers were in a discussion of their own.
"Just what is happening?"
"Everything is going wrong here. First that Greh guy coming back alive. And now this."
"Sothing doesn't feel right. This incident happened way too fast for us to even think about what happened. And now we have even lost our authority."
Crack-!
Terrifying undulations of Ardor spread out of the Council mbers.
"Wait let us just analyze the incident from the start again."
"Atal has gone missing, we don't have authority, the ISC is in chaos and the guild incident.
Sothing that can be gained from doing all this. What could it be?" Rennar Licht muttered then he looked at the others and asked…
"Has the army moved yet?" It was Rodrick Shah, the Head who spoke.
"They have already started to move. The citizens are also appeased by them and the troublemakers are already caught. Isn't this way too fast?"
"Indeed it is. Which ans whoever planned this also took the army into account."
"C'mon who could it be? WAIT! No this can't be." Rennar rembered that Aarav Greh had suddenly retired just after they sent the MHS to Africa.
Then he recalled today's talk and his face turned red in anger.
"Reven Greh!" Rodrick Shah muttered.
HUH!
Everyone was stunned as they heard the na. But Rodrick continued…
"It's Reven Greh. Only he can be the one. Damn it, we have to go catch him.
That bastard we can't even order the soldiers as they are busy appeasing the citizens.
We have to go their ourselves."
With that they suddenly vanished from the building.
-----
At the sa ti in the parliant the bill was introduced.
Ankan proposed the bill and explained the procedure to completely erase the law regarding the council. All the MPs listened to the details he explained and then the bidding started without much questioning.
Who would question anyways when their deepest secrets would be revealed if they do not agree to the bill.
Soon the bidding was completed and unsurprisingly the votes surpassed 90% of the seats. This ant the 90% law was now applicable.
Seeing this Ankan smiled satisfyingly and signaled the President to move into the voting hall.
This shocked all the MPs.
"I know you have questions. And that is why he is here.
So sir President first I hope you formally announce the passing of the bill and act as today's representative of the parliant."
"I as the rightful President of ISC announce the bill to be passed and with the 90% law coming into effect due to the votes of the required amount of MPs.
I declare the Article 11X and its laws totally null and void from this mont on*.
Empress shall act as the judge and follow the accordingly." Atal announced.
[New bill enacted.]
[Changes in the Constitution of ISC is observed.]
[Changes can proceed with the authority of the President.]
[Please show authority.]
Atal smiled as he heard 'Empress'. Then he said "Confirm the authority from Reven Greh."
[Please wait.]
As the bill passed in the parliant, the council also found Reven and his team outside in the field.
"Reven Greh you will regret for what you did." Rodrick said.
"Oh really. Well… I think it should be you who should regret for sending there."
"Oh so you know about it. But so what you can't do anything to us anyways."
Hoh-! Hoh-! Hoh-! Hoh-!
Reven smiled haughtily and said "What can you even do with that half assed authority of yours?"
"It seems you have the wrong idea Greh. But for your information we have lost control over civilians not soldiers and weapons yet."
It was Liam Rey who continued…
"Empress activate the Plasma weapons."
[Sorry you do not have authority.]
"What?" The council mbers were baffled.
Just breaths ago at Reven's end.
[Article 11X and its laws can be completely removed by using the 90% law's powers.]
[Do you wish to confirm?]
'Yes!' Reven ordered in his mind.
[Approval gained.]
[Removing Article 11X from the constitution of ISC.]
[Completed.]
[From now on Article 11X and its laws are null and void.]
…..
Author's Notes:
* I do not know if there is any kind of Article 11X in the real world but if there is then I am strictly speaking that this Article 11X ntioned in the novel is not inspired from them and it do not have any intention to hurt any country's constitutional laws.
The Article 11X in the novel is totally from the author's imagination and nothing else.
