Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 128: Capturing Virgil
Councillor Ibel raised his hand in agreement.
Whatever the reason, Mrs. Michelle's attitude changed so drastically, it was right for her to raise her hand now.
Among the nine city councillors, apart from the Speaker who has not appeared for a long time and Councillor Virgil who is absent, there are five remaining councillors who have not expressed their attitude.
In front of them... Inspector Meteorite led the Imperial spies from the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, with the assistance of Viscount Iscolan, and should have taken control of the entire Government Affairs Hall building.
Councillor Virgil had withdrawn most of the sheriffs from the central city and was stuck in street fighting in the Cape District. Even if he knew the situation here, he had no way to quickly counterattack.
And then there was Madame Michel's attitude.
Just now she was speaking ill of the Secret Service of Cape District, but now seeing Inspector Meteorite coming, she turned towards them without hesitation.
It was clean and neat, without any delay. It was obvious that the person had received some information and had been prepared in advance.
Behind the Meteorite Detective is the eldest princess.
Behind Viscount Isklan is the Brotherhood of the Blade.
With the support of Councillor Ibel and Madam Michelle...is things about to change in Raging Waves City?
Without knowing exactly what was happening, the remaining five members raised their hands one by one to agree to temporarily remove Congressman Virgil from his position.
Protect yourself first!
The parliament passed it unanimously, and it went so smoothly that it was beyond Luke's expectations.
The Parliament issued an order to the City Hall, which immediately issued a notice to all districts to remove Councillor Virgil from all positions.
After receiving the executive order, Luke and Viscount Isklan drove straight to the Cape District with their respective subordinates.
At this time, Virgil didn't know that he had been backstabbed by the Parliament, and the terrible battle situation made him unable to sleep all night.
In the chief's office of the Cape District Police Building, the morning sunlight shone through the window onto Virgil's pale face.
A group of senior sheriffs stood around the desk.
“I can’t figure it out. I’ve been thinking about it all night and I still can’t figure it out… You are all well-trained sheriffs, you are paid well and respected, and you promised me that you can take over the Cape District.
But you fought all night and didn't even see the top of the castle's tallest tower.
Idiots! Trash! You have embarrassed me, embarrassed me . I took all the responsibility for your failure to catch the spirit Qingkong. Now... now you can't even beat a group of thieves, smugglers, hooligans, and pirates.
What on earth are you doing! You and I will become the funniest clowns since the construction of Raging Wave City, laughed at by the world, forever!
Bastard! Bastard! "
Virgil became more and more excited as he spoke. He slammed the table and swore continuously, looking crazy.
Director Holt whispered, "Your Excellency...our enemies are too cunning. They hide in the houses on both sides of the road to attack us. If we want to pass smoothly, we can only rush in.
We don’t know the terrain, so…”
"Excuses! All excuses!" Virgil yelled at Holt, "What's going on at the dock? You told me that the dock has been occupied by your people, but now the untouchables at the dock are almost here.
Holt, you and your people are full of shit, you don't even know that the meteorite has taken control of the dock.
I shouldn't have trusted you, I shouldn't have trusted all of you.
You bastards are killing me!"
Director Holt was spitted in the face and dared not say anything.
He also couldn't figure out what was going on at the dock, and why the gangs that were trying to curry favor with him would so easily turn to the Secret Service.
It has only been a short time since Meteorite took office, how come the Cape District has changed so much?
Holt suddenly felt that his police station had become an isolated island in the Cape District, and he had lost all perception of the changes in the Cape District.
Thinking of this, Holt felt his whole body numb and his neck felt cold.
The sounds of fighting outside were getting closer.
Not only the gang members and coolies on the dock, but also the mechanical people on Diagon Street rushed over here.
It is impossible to count the number of enemies now, as if the entire cape area is full of enemies.
what to do?
Will I die here?
Everyone in the office was at a loss as none of them had expected a battle that should have been an easy win to end up like this.
"Mr. Congressman, let's... retreat!"
Councillor Virgil's murderous eyes turned towards the person who suggested retreat.
"Retreat? Where to retreat? This is a riot, this is rebellion! If these mobs rush into the central city, we will all be hanged.
You cowards.
I tell you, we have no way out, we must destroy them. I ordered, attack, attack, kill all those who stop the sheriff.
Kill him! "
In the midst of Virgil's frenzied rage, a sheriff rushed in.
"Report... The Parliament has just issued an executive order through the Government Affairs Office to remove Councillor Virgil from all positions. Accept... the investigation by the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau..."
Virgil shut up instantly, and the office became extremely quiet.
After a while, Virgil's expression turned ferocious, and he shouted: "This is impossible, this must be a fake executive order issued by Meteorite.
There is no way Parliament will turn its back on me at this time, the MPs are being threatened.
We must end the fighting here as soon as possible and concentrate our forces to rescue the Government Hall controlled by the rebels.
Someone, go get those bounty hunters, I need them!"
No one moved in the room.
Virgil looked at the people who gathered around him and shouted, "Holt, Gask, Nigel, didn't you hear my order?
Where is your loyalty to me?"
Virgil stared at these subordinates who were usually obedient to him and could feel that their thoughts were changing rapidly.
He hoped someone would stand up and at least protect himself and leave.
Holt observed the other senior sheriffs, and mustered up the courage to say to Virgil: "Mr. Congressman, our loyalty made us choose to follow you to attack the subordinate departments of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau without the authorization of the parliament.
But the current war has obviously exceeded our expectations. The Cape District Secret Service and Detective Meteorite are stronger than we thought. We have been defeated...
We hope you will accept the decree of Parliament so that we will not be accused of being rebels.
We all have families.”
Virgil stared at Holt, then looked at the others, then shook his head and laughed: "You guys! Do you really think I'm done?
I was only dismissed from my position, but I am still a member of parliament and an imperial noble. They dare not do anything to me..."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Virgil. After this incident, I will resign and take my family away from here." Holt knew that there was no place for him in the Cape District. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, arrest Mr. Virgil."
Several sheriffs rushed in from outside the office, pressed Virgil on the table, and tied him up with ropes.
Luke led the convoy into the Cape District, with his own inspector's car leading the way. They simply crashed through any roadblocks they encountered.
According to the latest news, the pier and Diagonal Street launched a counterattack at the agreed time. But a mob is a mob after all, and the attack was completely disorganized, with no real results.
If we continue fighting like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to surround Virgil even if we fight for another day.
The person who delivered the executive order had already gone, and Luke chose to rush forward without giving any time for any variables to arise.
When approaching the Cape District Security Office, the sheriff ordered everyone to withdraw from the battle. After receiving this news, Luke ordered the convoy to speed up again.
The convoy of cars rushed into the Cape District Security Bureau with horns honking all the way.
The imperial spies and Viscount Iscolan's private soldiers quickly took control of the situation. Luke finally breathed a sigh of relief after taking the tied-up Virgil from the sheriff.
The dust has settled!
Virgil was escorted to Luke by two imperial agents.
The senior sheriffs followed and walked forward. They all wanted to know what the Raging Tide City looked like after a night.
Luke first thanked Director Holt: "Thank you very much... Director, your righteous act saved countless lives in Raging Wave City and stopped the expansion of a disaster.
I will report your contribution truthfully, and you will definitely get the reward you deserve."
Director Holt did not feel any joy in achieving success.
Whatever the reason, ordering the arrest of Virgil certainly brought him bad reputation, and there was no place for him in the officialdom of Nutao City.
"I just did what I thought I should do. Now that the outcome has been decided, there is no need to continue making unnecessary sacrifices.
I will submit my resignation letter to the Government Affairs Office and hope that the inspector can ensure that my family and I can leave safely."
Luke said with some regret: "Your departure is a loss for Raging Waves City, but I respect your choice. You, your family, and your property will all leave safely under the protection of the Imperial spies in the Cape District.
All deceived sheriffs will be forgiven.”
"Thank you, Inspector."
By calming Holt and showing his willingness not to escalate the situation, the sheriffs present would no longer take risky actions.
Luke took out the executive order and said to Virgil, "Congressman Virgil, I am Inspector Meteorite of the Cape District Secret Service, and I am investigating you for suspected smuggling.
The Council of Raging Waves City has approved my investigation application and temporarily revoked all your positions in Raging Waves City.
You have the right to hire a lawyer to defend you, the right to collect evidence of innocence on your own, and the right to appeal to Parliament.
During the investigation, you will be detained by the Cape District Secret Service and your assets will be frozen.
Did you understand everything?"
"Smuggling?" Virgil said with a smile, "Do you, a small detective of the Secret Service, have the courage to investigate the smuggling case in Fury City?
Don't think you won!
This is not over yet.”
"No, this matter is over...Take it away!"
The Imperial agent shoved Virgil into the car without any hesitation.
Luke said to the senior sheriffs present: “Thank you again, please order your men to withdraw from the battle as soon as possible and end this misunderstanding.
I don't want to see another sheriff in my neighborhood who isn't from the Cape before noon!"
