No matter what the press was going to report, I had my strategy prepared with my main cards being my cohort. Whether they attempt to conceal the issue or not, they will face lots of criticism and attacks regardless.
'It's finally time to bring the military onto the table. Probably most of those officials are corrupt and I will expose their wrongdoings and destroy them right after.'
This decision of mine wouldn't have been made if I hadn't experienced mistakes along my journey. Recognizing my instability over the past few months was a significant turning point.
I didn't have to go on a killing every time, only when it was needed or forced to. Like I did when the bandit came to me, instead of resorting to bloodshed, I controlled my emotions and let them pass.
In the past, I might have violently attacked them, smashing their heads into the ground and leaving their bodies there. Not even going to bury it to hide from the eyes of other people.
