The Conspiracy of the Elites

Chapter 349: ambition

As soon as all 3 assassins left the vision range of his car, Clark slumped down into his seat and supported his head with his right hand. What he just experienced today still left him lightheaded.

When he decided to stalk the assassin, he had no intentions of carrying them away, he just wanted to know their motive for doing it.

Assassins were always frowned upon in any society, but after knowing the truth behind the assassination, he didnt know what to feel at all.

He felt pity for the poor civilians who were the helpless party in this struggle, he felt anger towards the governors of the country, and most especially he felt speechless at the ways adopted by the old warriors club.

He had read of it in the news before, he had seen it on the internet before, but getting to see such a scene, in reality, struck a chord in his heart that hes been trying to hide.

When he just became a soldier, he remembered that his 2 most foremost ambitions were to have his revenge against the Mocan republic for the death of his parents and the silly ambition of overthrowing the rule of the big 5.

After growing up, he already abandoned his first ambition to take revenge against the Mocan republic due to a lot of reasons. Perhaps, it was better to put it that he finally matured.

For his second and most ridiculous ambition, as he grew as a soldier and got exposed to the power wielded by the big 5 organizations, he started feeling a strange phobia for them.

This unknowingly made him try hiding and suppressing his ambition, his instinct started telling him that going against the big 5 and surviving it was impossible.

They were the rulers of this era, they set laws and others follow, not the other way round. When they make a move, nations standstill, and when they talk, countries keep silent.

To the current Clark, he didnt want to think about that ambition again until he perhaps grew strong enough to support himself in this world.

But what if he narrowed the focus of his ambition down? Instead of trying to fight the big 5 who were behind it all, why not go and fight the smaller countries who were exploiting it on their behalf.

The big 5 declared this era as the age of exotics and technology, and some countries undoubtedly took this opportunity to oppress their citizens.

Just like what was happening here, the Radan government got so unbridled that not only did they mistreat their civilians to further enrich themselves, they mistreated their soldiers also.

Unlike middle-grade countries like Sparta where soldiers were more or less the leaders of society, in such a low-grade country like this, it was hard for soldiers to take the helm.

Due to a lack of proper training resources, and the lack of contact with exobeasts, compared to countries like the Spartan republic, Radan had an extremely low number of high-grade soldiers.

Due to how small they were, the intelligent scholars of the country were the leaders instead of them. To keep hold of their rule over them, they purposely starve the soldiers of resources to cap their growth.

It was through this that they perpetrated their evil.

Clark knew that it was not only in the Radan republic where this was done, most of the other low-grade countries were like this. It was sad, but that was the reality of this era.

And the thought that just crossed his mind, instead of taking the war to the undefeatable big 5 for now, it was more efficient and safer for him to take it to the low-grade countries.

As they said, little drops of water make a mighty ocean. If he started with low-grade countries, he would one day graduate to middle-grade countries before finally reaching the level of the big 5.

For example, he could decide to become a secret helper of the old warriors club. He would help them overthrow the rulership of their leaders.

For the new rulers of the republic, due to his contributions, he would be able to influence it a bit and make sure that the right leaders take over from the old ones.

It was hazy a bit and still a juvenile thought, but he was sure that he could work it out. Problems would come on the way; problems like how would he confirm that the new leader would not be the same as the previous.

For that problem, he would tackle it as it came. Right now, from what he saw the situation needed to change fast, and he was fine with doing just that.

Through his drone, he was able to see more about the sewers district. Subtracting those that couldnt even stay behind the shelter provided by a house, the ones that could be were not in a better situation.

He was sure that despite his physique as a high-grade soldier, staying in such a damp, filthy, and stench-filled home would affect him a lot adversely. For civilians to stay there was just too much, he just couldnt pretend that he didnt see it.

He was not hail Mary or anything of the sort, but sometimes when you see something wrong, an urge to correct it just overwhelms you.

According to Cain, the sewers district was the most less developed district in the country, but he didnt care. If a district like this could even exist, it meant that the government failed terribly.

The upper echelons of the Spartan republic were not perfect, they had flaws, but definitely not of this type.

In this age of exotics and technology, humanity already grew past some things. Seeing things like this was just too wrong.

After thinking about all these, the main problem finally placed itself before him. To stay in this country, he had to have a base of his own where he could do his activities without interruption.

This was not too much of a problem though. Using his implant, he easily broke into the network nodes of the country and got the information that he wanted.

He turned to face his student. Albert, take me to this location.

Ok. Albert quickly pressed on the accelerators, prompting the car to move again from its state of rest.

After dropping Cain back at his workplace, Albert finally steered the car in the direction that his master sent him.

About how Clark would contact the upper echelons of the old warriors club, that was not a problem as he already had it in the bag. There was no way that he could let the 3 assassins go so freely.
