Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 117 What do you want?
Luke was in a difficult situation at this time.
All parties in the whole Nutao City were stimulated by Viscount Iscolan's assassination. There was no need to think about standing aside and watching the show. Now it was good enough to have a tiger rider.
The three people in the room have already come to the conclusion that Senator Virgil is guilty of treason, and all that remains is to solve the problem around this conclusion.
Viscount Iscolan suggested investigating Vergil first from the smuggling direction.
"Smuggling" has a complete system in Nutao City. Under the protection of interest groups, it is not easy to obtain conclusive evidence that Virgil is involved in smuggling.
But Councillor Ibel is the chief official in charge of the finances and taxation of Nutao City. Asking him to produce evidence of Councillor Virgil's smuggling is as simple as opening and closing a safe.
But Ibel said worriedly: "If I produce evidence, not only Virgil, but also I will be implicated. The entire Government Office of Raging Waves City, the Parliament, the Imperial Palace, and... members of the royal family.
This is a huge case, can you control it?"
As Councillor Ibel spoke, he looked at Isklan with a wary look.
He knew what terrible consequences might occur if the evidence in his hands fell into the hands of these old nobles.
Iscolan immediately said sincerely: "Mr. Congressman, our purpose is not to investigate the smuggling case. I also know that once this case is investigated, it will affect the foundation of the empire, which is not what we want to see. You can hand over the relevant evidence of Virgil's involvement in smuggling to Inspector Meteorite, so that the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau has an excuse to detain Virgil and investigate him.
As long as there is evidence of Virgil's treason, the investigation into the smuggling case will be terminated.
If you don't believe me, you have to believe Inspector Meteorite and the Princess, and believe how important the stability of Raging Waves City is to the empire."
Luke also didn't want to end up with a smuggling case that couldn't be resolved.
"Viscount Iscolan is right. The smuggling case is connected to the royal family. We can't just go too deep into it. This case will stop at Virgil's position. Once we get evidence of his treason, the case will be closed."
Councillor Ibel considered this for a moment.
If they want to get rid of Virgil cleanly now, they can only use treason against him, so that other members of the Fury City will not dare to protect Virgil casually.
Even if Virgil could not be convicted in the end, he would not be able to stay in his position as a member of parliament as he was involved in a case of treason.
Without the identity of a member of parliament, the people around Virgil would immediately leave him.
There will be plenty of ways to take revenge then.
"Okay, I'll hand over the evidence related to Virgil to Inspector Meteorite."
After Councillor Ibel cleared this stage, Viscount Iscolan said, “The bounty hunters summoned by Virgil will be left to our Blade Brotherhood to deal with.
Eliminate the people around Virgil, and then Inspector Meteorite can take action."
Luke nodded. "I know what to do."
At this time, Councillor Ibrahim said: "Thank you both for helping me in this time of crisis. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Viscount Iscolan first looked at Luke, and when he didn't answer, he stated his request: "I hope to fill the gap left by Virgil in Parliament."
Congressman Ibel did not expect that Viscount Iscolan would be so greedy and ask to become a congressman right away.
"If you want to become a member of the Raging Waves City Council, you must obtain the consent of more than half of the council members. Even if I support you, you will only get one vote...
I'm afraid your identity won't get you a second ticket."
Viscount Iscolane said confidently: "The first vote is the most difficult. I don't expect the parliament to make me a member of parliament with just one vote, but I don't expect them to start considering changing the structure of the parliament, even if I succeed in taking a step forward.
I don’t think the vacancy of Senator Virgil will be filled anytime soon…”
"No!" said Councillor Ibrahim with certainty. Electing councillors is not a game of house. It is impossible for just anyone to fill the position. Every councillor is the result of a compromise between the interests of all parties.
Viscount Iscolan said: “I can prove to the parliament and the nobles of Raging Wave City that the old nobles in your eyes can also accept new ideas and become a progressive force in society.
Many of the businesses of the Brotherhood of the Blade are highly complementary to your business, Councillor.”
Member of Parliament Ibel was convinced. He didn't know whether Viscount Iscolan joining the parliament would benefit other members, but it would definitely benefit himself.
"I'll give you my vote... Inspector Meteorite, do you have any requests?"
Councillor Ibel asked Luke.
Get Virgil out of office and there will be only one vacant seat in Parliament.
Viscount Iscolan was determined to get this seat, and Luke had no intention of snatching it from him. Moreover, things were developing too fast, and his foundation in Raging Waves City was not stable, so it was not easy for him to climb too high.
“I want to limit the size of the Cape District Police Station to less than 400 people.”
The Public Security Bureau has been reduced to less than 400 people, just like the former Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau...
It's not as good as the Secret Service, it really only has the meaning of existence.
Ibel understood what Luke meant, he wanted to swallow up the Cape District!
In addition to obtaining the operating rights of Cape Port in the name of Yanyang Trading Group, is the princess planning to directly cut a piece of the cake in Nutao City?
Give!
What the princess wants...must be given!
Ibel said: "Fergil's incompetence has caused the incompetence of the entire security department of Fury City, and it should be rectified.
Especially the Cape area!
The better Inspector Meteorite does, the more it proves how derelict the Cape District Security Office was in the past.
The Cape District Security Bureau should be handed over to the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau for supervision, and let them learn from Inspector Meteorite!"
Luke was shocked!
Is this ok?
I just want the Cape District Police Department to have no sense of existence, but you simply made it "non-existent".
Since it’s right in front of you, there’s no reason not to eat it.
"That's a good thing... The sheriffs at the Cape District Security Bureau have very poor professional skills. They should learn from our Secret Intelligence Bureau."
The three people divided the interests that would arise after the fall of Congressman Virgil and continued to discuss the specific steps to bring down Virgil.
Then comes implementation.
Luke is going to hand over the "smuggling" evidence to Congressman Ibel.
Viscount Iscolan left first. He was going to arrange for the Blades of the Blade Brotherhood and the part-time assassins of the Assassin's Tavern to assassinate the bounty hunters and gang members summoned by Virgil.
Tonight...is a bloody night starring assassins.
This is how the Blade Brotherhood announces its return to the City of Fury.
After getting the evidence, Luke was not in a hurry to leave.
Ibel believes that Virgil summoned the bounty hunters to kill him.
But Luke knew it wasn't!
Virgil did not steal the gold, commit treason, or send anyone to kill Ibrahim. He always believed that Ibrahim had stolen the gold, and now that the gold had not been found, how could he be in a hurry to kill someone.
He must have other purposes in summoning bounty hunters.
It is not easy to run around outside at this time.
So Luke stayed here overnight, using the excuse of personally protecting Congressman Ibel.
