Samuel Reed had a dignified look on his face. As the Secretary-General, he was already a senior member of the Cardinals' Court, responsible for handling the daily operations of the Cardinals' Court.
More importantly, he was Vincent Blackwell's confidant.
Some provincial governors were very polite and flattering to Samuel Reed.
Samuel walked to the door of an office deep within the Cardinals' Court, his face taking on an awed expression, and he knocked gently on the door.
"Come in."
A solemn and authoritative voice came from the office.
Even Samuel couldn't help but take a breath first, tidying up his appearance, before pushing the door open and entering the office.
This office was spectacular and vast, spanning hundreds of square meters.
A middle-aged man with a simple appearance but a terrifying aura, both majestic and mysterious, stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, overlooking the imperial capital.
He had a blank expression and a cold look in his eyes, as if nothing in the world could arouse his interest.
Looking at this imposing figure, Samuel lowered his head in awe.
"Sir, there is news from the young master."
Hearing this, Vincent Blackwell slowly turned around, and his face finally showed some emotion.
Perhaps only Damien could make him care. "The young master sent a message that the Secret Source has been obtained, and significant events have also occurred in Eastsea.
The Eastsea Provincial Council has initiated an impeachment case against Charles Collins."
After that, Samuel handed a document to Vincent respectfully.
Hearing that the Secret Source was obtained, Vincent's eyes flashed with excitement.
The Secret Source, the labor of several generations of the Blackwell family! The existence that was cultivated at the cost of more than a dozen legions was finally reclaimed! In this way, the Blackwell family's plan can continue...
Vincent took the document and quickly reviewed it.
It was the impeachment of Governor Charles Collins by the Eastsea Provincial Council.
He soon understood the magnitude of the earthquake his son Damien had set off in Eastsea Province! "Good!"
Damien's personal visit to Eastsea Province had attracted the attention of many.
He knew that several families had sent representatives to Eastsea, and even the Regent Government had begun to pay attention.
If the Secret Source was exposed, the Blackwell family would be at a disadvantage!
Perhaps the Blackwell family would have to initiate rebellion ahead of schedule!
Fortunately, Damien in Eastsea Province managed to create such a situation, one that could bring down Charles Collins!
In this way, the Blackwell family could not only hide the Secret Source but also gain control of Eastsea Province!
Kill two birds with one stone!
Vincent said lightly, "Order the Imperial Propaganda Department to fully publicize the tragedy that occurred in Eastsea Province through various channels, and submit this impeachment case to the Imperial Parliament."
Vincent's two short sentences had already determined Charles Collins's career...
In reality, if the void invasion that broke out in Eastsea City were to be suppressed, it might still be possible to control the matter.
But once the Imperial Propaganda Department fully publicized the matter through various channels, it would be completely blown up, and the entire human world would know about it!
In addition, if the Cardinals passed the impeachment case, the Imperial Parliament would not agree to it.
Then Governor Charles Collins would definitely be finished.
Although the final decision on the appointment and removal of the Governor was still in the hands of Regent Lucas, in the face of turbulent public sentiment, coupled with pressure from the Cardinals and the Parliament, Lucas could not protect Charles Collins...
"Consider the candidate for the next Governor of Eastsea."
Vincent said lightly.
The position of a Governor is a significant bargaining chip in the hands of the Blackwell family...
Samuel whispered, "The young master suggests... Let Andrew Young, the Speaker of Eastsea Province, take over the position of Governor."
Vincent heard this and immediately changed his mind: "Since it's Damien's intention, let's proceed as he suggested."
After Damien awakened his profession, Vincent began deliberately involving Damien in various affairs.
Although the governor of a province is very important, Vincent originally planned to use the position for another purpose.
But since Damien has a candidate, Vincent is unwilling to go against his son's wishes.
He is cultivating Damien's prestige.
Vincent suddenly asked, "Where is Lily?"
Although Damien is Vincent's only son, Vincent has an adopted daughter besides Damien.
Damien's sister, Lily Blackwell.
Lily is 18 years old this year and has just awakened the SS-level hidden profession - the Angel of Death.
However, this profession is very special and requires collecting death fragments to upgrade skills.
So under the arrangement of the Blackwell family, Lily went to the Land of Death.
It is a famous forbidden place in the human world, extremely dangerous, and was once the battleground between the human world and the void.
Many undead and dangerous elites reside there, but there are also many death fragments...
"Miss Lily should be coming out of the Land of Death soon," Samuel said respectfully.
"Well..."
Vincent frowned slightly. When he mentioned this daughter, his expression did not carry the pure affection he had for Damien.
Instead, it was quite complicated.
Even... there was a vague murderous intent.

Almost instantly, reports of the void invasion incident in Eastsea Province appeared on various TV programs and online forums throughout the empire.
This void invasion incident led to the destruction of the Apocalypse Temple in Eastsea City and the deaths of tens of millions of candidates!
The whole country was shocked!
And these reports and news also intentionally or unintentionally pinned the responsibility of this incident on Governor Charles Collins.
In words and deeds, it was Charles Collins's failure to fulfill his responsibilities and lack of ability that led to the void invasion incident....

The Imperial Regent Government.
Lucas, the Imperial Regent, is a level 90 Galaxy Sword Saint and the teacher of His Majesty the Emperor.
After His Majesty the Emperor disappeared, he served as the Imperial Regent and became the ruler of the vast Dragon Empire.
At least in name, Lucas is the master of the empire!
For twenty years, Lucas has been stabilizing the situation on one hand while continuing the emperor's previous policies by promoting civilians.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people of the empire, Lucas, the Imperial Regent, holds a very high prestige!
