Chapter 506: Mass Voting

The citizens who saw everything with their own eyes finally realized what was going to happen if they let such a man form a government in the country. They were filled with fear and uncertainty for the country's future.

A few people managed to make videos of the whole incident secretly. As soon as those people left the booth they posted the videos on social media. Though the videos were made on mobile, they were still clearly able to show who was behind everything.

Some people hid the phone in their pockets and tried to take videos of the goons who were putting the seal on the name of Bill Grey.

On social media, things started going viral very soon. As more and more people started raising their voice, the hashtag '#the goon president' became the most trending topic of the country before night fell. 

Bill Grey had seen many sandals happening almost in every election before and initially, he didn't give any importance to these trending topics but as all the social media apps started trending with the same news and the videos of booth capturing started streaming all over, he called the Inspector General of Police and asked him if any complaint was filed against him regarding the booth capturing.

The IG police was in cahoots with Bill Grey and had also helped him earlier in a few illegal matters. He immediately provided him the details of the FIRs that were filed against those unnamed men but no one had named Bill Grey in any of those complaints yet. 

Bill relaxed as he heard what IG said and asked him to inform him immediately if anything bad related to him which would pose any threat to his presidency occurred. The IG immediately agreed and Bill disconnected the call.

That entire night Bill was on tenterhooks. He kept pacing up and down the huge living room and kept calling his men to find out about the situation on the ground. He was finally able to relax when he received no distressing information from his people. It was almost dawn when he went to bed to get some rest.

He went to his room and laid down on his bed to take a small nap. He was a little elated as he saw himself taking the oath as the President very soon.

On the other hand, the intelligence agencies had taken the matter in their own hands after the violence had been reported. They started investigating the matter with the help of the military's internal intelligence services.

The booth officers were so afraid when they were threatened that they did not dare report about the unethical mass voting to the higher electoral officers that night. But when the electoral officers arrived to collect the ballots, they told them the truth.

As the matter was already under investigation and the military was also consulted, the electoral officers were also given a hint of the situation and were strictly asked to report to an assigned secret service officer if they had any evidence.

As soon as the booth officers started telling them everything they went through, they were taken to the secret service officers and details of the incident were asked.

With a few eyewitnesses from different polling stations, the intelligence agency then urged the military to take total control of the situation. The military had some evidence of Bill Grey which proved that he was also involved with the mafia of other countries and he could be a threat to the integrity of the country if elected as the President.

The case was transferred to the military secret services overnight with Zach being the head of the entire investigation as the Field Marshal. That night Zach was called on his residential number and was asked to rush back to the office in the middle of the night. Zach immediately informed Keira and left.

Keira was already anxious because of the elections, but when she saw the trending news about booth capturing at many places, she started panicking a little. She called her mother and asked about the well being of her father. 

The fear of her father losing the election to such a rogue man started gripping her. She was afraid to even think about how low such a man would stoop for his personal gains. What made her even more worried was the fact that Bill Grey considered her father, Mr. Chan, as his mortal enemy, and if he won and became the President, Bill Grey would leave no stone unturned in causing harm to her father and his business. 

Keira felt a cold shiver run down her spine. Such a corrupt and evil man did not deserve to be the President of the country.

When Zach reached his office he was briefed about the violence that happened during polling and was given the files containing information of the violence and fake voting of the day. Along with it, the latest reports of Bill Grey's underworld connections with international mafia gangs were there as well.

Zach picked up all the reports and went through them quickly. It took him less than half an hour to read the complete reports. Once he finished reading everything his expression was solemn and he looked like an ice statue at that moment. He then leaned on his chair and sat in a relaxed pose. 

"Are the sources of the international reports reliable?" Zach asked the officer sitting opposite him.

"Yes sir. The source of the entire information is one of our comrades who had joined their gang a few months ago and is our spy in that mafia organization. We have received more crucial information from him before and everything was proven to be true. In the next few hours, we are looking forward to receiving a few pictures and videos backing all the reports that we have." The officer replied with a proud smile.

"Good job then. Together with the evidence and eyewitnesses of poll booth violence that happened today, we can definitely get an arrest warrant for him before dawn." Zach analyzed.

"Officer, immediately arrange for an emergency meeting for me with Mr. President and also with the head of the election committee. I want to settle this matter before next morning knocks on his door." Zach ordered and stood up from his chair.
