Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 80: Sword Skills
Luke looked at Councillor Ibel. The dignity of a Councillor in the past was completely gone from him. He was like a fat sheep that had washed itself clean, lying on the chopping block, and still holding its head straight, waiting for the knife to fall.
For Luke, deciding from which direction to cut is a technical job.
"Mr. Congressman, please understand our difficulties. This situation cannot be solved hastily. It takes time and a detailed inspection of the entire airship wreckage.
Fortunately, there was no loss of life in this accident, and the empire’s tax revenue is still there. Losing an airship is the best possible outcome…”
At this time, Kylena brought tea for them.
"Thank you," Luke nodded in thanks, and continued to say to Councillor Ibel, "I have learned that the Thunder Tower was destroyed by the elf Qingkong. This is a major disaster for the City of Raging Waves. The focus of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau's work is to capture the elf Qingkong. We must stop her from committing crimes again.
The manpower and energy we can devote to the Shamrock incident are limited, and I ask for your understanding, Mr. Congressman. "
Luke's statement made it impossible for Councillor Ibel to refute it, and he dared not refute it.
Right now in Nutao City, nothing is more important than hunting down Qingkong.
But Councillor Ibel felt his own life was more important.
He has fallen into an endless cycle of delusion. The more he thinks about it, the more he believes there is a traitor and someone is trying to kill him.
"Inspector Meteorite, please do your best to investigate the Clover incident. There is something I would like to entrust you with on a personal basis."
Councillor Ibel lowered his voice.
Luke also lowered his voice and asked, "Please speak, Senator. This is my first time in Raging Wave City, and I need your help with many things. I will do my best to help you."
Councillor Ibel looked at Kylena first, and thinking that she was a brain-modified person who was absolutely loyal to Inspector Meteorite, he said with confidence: "I think someone wants to kill me!"
"who!"
"I don't know yet, but he is definitely someone with a very high status in Raging Waves City. I don't know who I can trust around me, but I know I can trust you.
I hope you can protect me."
Luke said, "Mr. Councillor, you are overthinking it. As far as I know, the relationship between the bigwigs in Fury City is very harmonious. You are one of the nine members of the city council, the head of the city's finance and taxation office , a lord of the empire, and a star entrepreneur.
Even if you get sick, it will be a big news that can dominate the headlines of newspapers. Anyone who dares to kill you is simply an enemy of the City of Raging Waves... No, it is the Empire. "
Seeing that Inspector Meteorite didn’t believe him, Councillor Ibel said hastily: “What I said is true, and the one who wants me dead may be one of the other councillors.
Please forgive me for not being able to tell you the specific reason, but please rest assured. As long as you provide me with protection, I will be your staunch ally in the parliament! "
Councillor Ibul is a powerful figure in Raging Waves City, so this statement of his is very weighty.
Luke acted excited.
"Threatening the safety of the councillors of Raging Waves is threatening the safety of the empire."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Councillor Ibul understood what Inspector Meteorite said and continued, "This is definitely an incident of imperial security. I request the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau to intervene."
"I accept your commission, Senator Ibel." Luke said with a smile: "I heard that you have many factories, shipyards, hotels, fleets..."
"Yes!" Councillor Ibr gritted his teeth. It was time to cut flesh and bleed. "I can give you..."
"No, you misunderstood. I don't need you to give me anything!" Luke said uprightly, "I am a senior agent of the Imperial Secret Service and cannot accept any form of bribe. What I mean is... our Secret Service in the Cape District is funding the establishment of a Yanyang Night School to train technical workers.
The preparations for the night school have been completed, but we have not found a suitable unit to accept the students. I wonder if the Member of Parliament can help us with this.”
"Night, night school? What do you teach?"
When Senator Ibul heard about the Imperial Secret Service setting up a school, he was confused at first.
What can you teach?
Tracking, wiretapping, interrogation, assassination...
What does this have to do with my factory? You might as well let me go bankrupt!
Luke knew that Councillor Ibrahim must have misunderstood, so he explained, "Mr. Councillor, the law and order in the Cape has always been a chronic problem. The main reason is that there are too many people doing nothing. Without money and livelihood, they can only rely on brute force and bravery.
Murders happen every day in the Cape District. As a newly appointed detective of the Secret Service, I want to use the management of the law and order in the Cape District as a report card when I report to the Princess.
Yanyang Night School was an attempt of mine to teach idle workers some skills and let them work in factories. With a stable income, they were busy from morning till night every day and had no energy to cause trouble.
I guarantee that Yanyang Night School is a legitimate technical training school. Please do me a favor, Mr. Congressman."
Luke's words made Councilman Ibel's mouth drop open, and he even forgot the purpose of his visit.
This Meteorite Inspector is truly a maverick, totally unlike the senior Imperial agents I knew before.
He is decent and cultured, has integrity and refuses to accept bribes, yet he devotes so much energy to the security of the Cape District.
This was supposed to be the job of the Cape District Security Bureau and the City Government Hall, but Inspector Meteorite took it over without complaint. He is a model official who gets things done!
Councillor Ibrahim felt somewhat ashamed.
Support, must support.
Based on the character and ability of Inspector Meteorite, he is definitely more reliable than those guys who just sit in their positions and do nothing!
“The City Government Office was unaware that the Cape District Secret Affairs Bureau was planning to organize the Yanyang Night School. This is definitely a serious dereliction of duty by the relevant officials.
I wholeheartedly support the establishment of Yanyang Night School, and will urge the city government hall to give financial and policy support to the night school.
As for the work arrangements for the night school college, just leave it all to me.
As long as they are qualified workers, I want them all! Meteorite Inspector, you just need to boldly train the trainees. My factory cannot accommodate them. I will be responsible for coordinating with other companies in Raging Waves City to ensure that I can arrange as many people as you graduate.
The two of us will work together to solve the law and order situation in the Cape District. This is what I must do and have the obligation to do as a city councillor.”
The work problem of Yanyang Night School was solved in this way.
Kylena, who was standing aside, couldn't help but cast an admiring look at the inspector.
He seemed to have known that Congressman Ibul would come, and that his arrival would definitely solve the employment problem of night school students.
In the future, Cape District will definitely get better under the governance of the inspector!
Luke was not satisfied with this one thing, he said to Ibul: "Cape Port has not received the necessary repairs due to a long period of lack of maintenance funds, which has made many equipments very old and there are many safety hazards on the dock.
Can the City Hall help us overhaul Cape Harbor?"
