Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 50: Let me give you some more pressure
As one of the first ports of the former Raging Waves City, Cape Port had a long period of glory.
Later, as the city center moved, Cape Harbor gradually lost its former glory. Coupled with the entry and competition of gangs, as well as the need for smuggling by the powerful, the filth and chaos made it difficult for the empire to effectively supervise this place.
Over time, as long as Cape Port paid certain taxes on time, the City Hall would tacitly allow it to operate in a different order.
Gangs in the Cape District control the port by controlling the dock workers, and some large fleets are also very powerful at the docks.
Yesterday, Captain Hansenlton of the Luck Princess was shot dead by the newly appointed Secret Service Detective Meteorite, causing quite a stir in Cape Harbor.
Soon after, the "evidence" that Hanselton was involved in the assassination of the former MI6 detective was released, and the MI6 confiscated all of Hanselton's property.
Four cargo ships, including the Lucky Princess, were confiscated.
The Luck Princess was a large wooden merchant ship powered by both a sail and a steam engine.
The total load capacity is 5,500 tons and it is equipped with ten smoothbore naval guns.
The waterline area is covered with a layer of steel armor plates.
When Luke arrived by car, Pisco, who had arrived earlier, had already taken control of the dock with his men, and imperial spies occupied every high point on the Lucky Princess.
The negotiation with Director Holt took place on the deck of the Princess Luck.
A table, two chairs and a parasol.
Luke waited for a while, and a convoy with the Sheriff's Department logo drove to the berth where the Lucky Princess was located.
A large group of sheriffs took control of the situation, and Commissioner Holt boarded the ship.
The Secret Service and the Public Security Bureau set up such a large presence here, which attracted the attention of the entire port. Soon, everyone in the city knew that something big was about to happen here that would affect everyone in the Cape District.
"Director Holt, please take a seat."
Luke shook Holt's hand enthusiastically and invited him to sit on the other side of the negotiating table.
Kylena brought them a cup of coffee, then stood behind Luke, secretly grasping the magic wand hidden in her sleeve.
Pisco stood on the bridge , his eyes constantly scanning the sheriffs who had boarded the ship with him.
The other Imperial agents had their hands on their swords, ready to fight.
Holt saw the scene set by the Secret Service and said to Luke unhappily, "Inspector Meteorite...you and I are both high-ranking civil servants of the Empire, so we should meet in a formal setting.
You look like a gangster and undermine the dignity of the empire."
Luke picked up the coffee, took a small sip, and put it down.
"Director Holt, you misunderstood. I just happened to be here investigating the case of Hanselton's assassination of the former MI6 agent, and you were anxious to see me, so I chose this place to meet you.
If you think it would be detrimental to the dignity of the empire to talk about it here...
You can wait until I finish investigating the case and then arrange a time to talk in a place that suits our status."
Make another appointment?
In the afternoon, the Public Security Bureau and the Secret Intelligence Bureau of the entire Raging Wave City will shift their focus to capturing the elf Clear Sky. The bosses above have already said that the competition for interests at the Cape District dock can be put aside for the time being, and the safety of the city is the most important thing.
Now the elf Qingkong has the "Heart of the Red Dragon Neilcolon", the Book of Disaster, and the Wand of Wisdom.
Given her ability to fight against Wilred, God knows what horrific things she will do in Raging Waves City.
The city's dignitaries had all heard that the elf Qingkong killed more than a hundred people in the Cape District in one night.
This can happen in the Cape.
But it must never happen in wealthy areas!
Holt approached Luke this time in order to join forces to suppress the fight over the dock between gangs.
If he couldn't resolve this matter before the meeting at the City Hall in the afternoon, his current position would most likely be lost.
The pressure on Holt was enormous.
"Inspector Meteorite. This is urgent. We don't need to make another appointment. You should already know what happened at Oulu College last night.
The Elf Clear Sky is very dangerous, so the City Hall held a city safety meeting in the afternoon in order to concentrate all efforts to capture the Elf Clear Sky.
The fight on the Mad Axe side would affect the coordination of all security departments in the city. As important agencies in the Cape District, the Public Security Bureau and the Secret Intelligence Bureau had an obligation to quell this incident as soon as possible.
You and I will issue the order now."
Luke chuckled and replied, “I told you not to fight, some people are just too greedy.
Since Director Holt said to stop, I can give you this face.
But how do we divide the docks? "
Holt said, "We are all Imperial officials. The docks are not under the jurisdiction of the Public Security Bureau and the Secret Service. I think they should follow their own rules. Whoever occupies the area now gets the area they want."
Luke laughed even more contemptuously.
The Mad Axe Party had completely withdrawn from the docks since Jumu's death, and their interests had long been taken away. Along with the interests of the docks controlled by other Secret Intelligence Bureau personnel, a lot of them had also been taken away.
Whoever takes as much as possible gets it.
I've been guarding the Mad Axe headquarters for two nights, and so many people have died. Did it all feel lonely?
"Director, you are very insincere."
After saying that, Luke stopped talking and picked up the cup again and drank his coffee slowly.
Holt said, "Let's divide it based on the current results first, and we'll talk about it after we resolve the issue of Elf Clear Sky."
"snort!"
Luke was too lazy to pay attention to him.
If you can solve the problem of Qingkong, there will be nothing more to talk about between you and me.
No rush.
Let’s wait for Axe and Shelley to “speak”.
Director Holt became anxious when he saw Luke drinking coffee continuously, one cup after another.
But he didn't want to show it, so he could only hold on in order to gain more benefits for himself in terms of the dock's interests.
However, before Luke could finish his second cup of coffee, a sheriff hurriedly boarded the ship and whispered a report into Chief Holt's ear.
Holt's expression suddenly turned ugly. He asked Luke, "Inspector Meteor, what do you want to do? Why are the Axe Madmen killing people everywhere in the Cape District?
Why did the Black Mamba bring spies to participate in the attack!
If you mess up the Cape District during this period, aren't you afraid that the City Hall will hold you accountable?"
Luke replied: “The City Council of Raging Waves has no right to hold me accountable unless they overthrow the Golden Shield Royal Family.
So you have to be careful when you speak, otherwise the Secret Service will investigate your stance.
Captain Black Mamba is following my orders to search for the elf Clear Sky in the Cape District. This is a commission from the City Government Office to the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. I have the original circular, you can go and see it if you want.
As for the Axe Madmen...
The elf Qingkong killed their boss Jumu, so there is nothing wrong with them seeking revenge on Qingkong.
We still need to further investigate the issue of the death. Just because you say they killed someone, it doesn't mean they killed someone.
If they can catch the spirit Clear Sky, I will consider applying for a Good Citizen Medal for them."
