Chapter 1521 Worldwide Protests
Author's Note: Unedited Chapter
---------------------
The scene outside the courthouse was heartwarming as the crowd increased, ranging from people Gustav had helped in the past to reporters and other media outlets.
It seemed like it would never end till Aildris brought his hover car over and revved the engine up to get the group's attention.
Gustav and the others pushed through the crowd to get into the luxuriously built red hover car.
Sighs of relief could be heard within the car as they sped off.
Falco turned to the group with a thoughtful expression. "So, about that vacation we were talking about," he said. "Where should we go?"
Matilda's eyes lit up with interest. "A vacation sounds wonderful. I'm in."
Angy nodded in agreement while her fingers and Gustav's were locked. "Let's go somewhere peaceful, where we can all relax and enjoy each other's company."
E.E. grinned. "I hear the beaches at Elysium Prime City are amazing this time of year. Crystal clear waters, white sandy beaches, and no cosmic battles in sight."
Aildris nodded thoughtfully. "Elysium Prime sounds perfect. We could use some sunshine and relaxation."
Gustav looked around and chuckled. "Elysium Prime it is, then."
Empress Dahria, who had been quietly observing, smiled softly. Can participate in this Elysium prime vacation as well?"
"Of course, you're very welcome to," Angy held her hand cheerfully.
"It's nice to finally meet you. Matilda mentioned you in the past," she added.
"Thank you, Angy," Empress Dahria smiled while responding.
They were surprised that Dahria was interested in joining them since she was an Empress and had an entire planet to run but none of them were against the idea.
As the saying went; the more... The merrier.
...
For the next couple of days, the news of Gustav's innocence spread like wildfire across the planet.
Every media outlet, news channel, and social media platform was buzzing with updates and analysis. Headlines blared from every screen: "Gustav Cleared of All Charges!" "World Government Deception Exposed!" "Protests Erupt Over Misconduct!"
The moment he activated his bloodline to turn himself weightless, a figure in MBO uniform leapt from below and grabbed onto him.
Other MBO officers in the surroundings, sprang into action as well.
Energy binding nets were shot upwards and the scientist got covered up instantly, causing his bloodline energy to immediately dissipate.
He fell from the air alongside the other MBO officer
They were both caught and the officer got freed.
"Dr. Malcolm Voss, you're under arrest," one of the officers said while stepping forward to place him in energy cuffs. "You have the right to remain silent..."
This wasn't the only place where such an occurrence was taking place. The other scientists were being hunted as well.
Commander Xanatus did well to wittle out the corrupt MBO officers as well and added to the list. The officers who were being hunted were the hardest to scrap up but they were slowly making progress.
As the protests continued and the search for the fugitive scientists intensified, the world watched with bated breath. The story of Gustav's innocence and the subsequent fallout had captivated everyone, sparking a global conversation about justice, power, and the responsibilities of those who wield it.
The days passed, the protests showed no signs of abating. Crowds gathered outside government buildings, demanding transparency and accountability. Signs bearing slogans like "Justice for Gustav" and "End Government Corruption" filled the streets.
One evening, a group of protest leaders managed to secure a meeting with high-ranking government officials. The atmosphere in the room was tense as the two sides faced each other.
A protest leader, a young woman with a fiery gaze, spoke first. "We represent the voices of the people. We demand that the government take full responsibility for its actions and hold those responsible accountable."
A government official, his face lined with stress, responded. "We understand the anger and frustration of the public. We are taking steps to address the situation and ensure that justice is served."
The young woman leaned forward, her voice steady but fierce. "Words are not enough. We need concrete actions. The scientists who conspired against Gustav must be brought to justice, and the government must implement reforms to prevent such abuses of power in the future."
The official nodded, recognizing the gravity of the situation. "We will do everything in our power to make things right. The people deserve the truth, and we are committed to providing it."

Elysium Prime was a paradise on Earth, a perfect escape from the chaos that had gripped the planet. The city beach, with its pristine white sands and crystal-clear waters, was the epitome of serenity and beauty. The sun hung high in the sky, casting a golden glow over everything it touched.
Angy, Empress Dahria, Vera, and Matilda were all dressed in vibrant swimsuits that accentuated their figures.
Angy's suit was a playful, floral print that matched her sunny personality. Empress Dahria's was an elegant, deep blue that complemented her regal bearing. Vera chose a fiery red number that was the opposite of her damp spirit, and Matilda's swimsuit was a smooth black, understated yet stunning.
They laughed and chatted as they relaxed on the beach, enjoying the feel of the warm sun on their skin and the gentle breeze that carried the scent of the ocean.
