Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 84 Demonstration
“…
As a member of the City Council of Raging Waves, I am more angry than anyone else about the destruction of the Thunder Tower. This is simply a provocation to all the citizens of Raging Waves.
Here I assure the citizens that I will supervise the city security department to do everything in its power to arrest the murderer Qingkong. I will also propose that the parliament set up a special investigation team to strictly investigate the dereliction of duty and malfeasance of the city security department.
We will investigate and punish anyone we find and will never tolerate any violation.
Citizens please leave here... Only when the City Hall is functioning can this disaster be dealt with as quickly as possible."
Councillor Ibel’s speech ended.
The crowd didn't move, and some people whistled.
The scene was a bit awkward.
Councillor Ibr had no choice but to raise his voice and say: "Please trust the City Council, please trust me..."
The crowd remained motionless.
Councillor Ibel turned his head slightly to look at Luke who was standing next to him.
Luke whispered in Councillor Ibel’s ear: “Be sincere!”
Councillor Ibul said again: "I sincerely promise to the citizens that I will do what I just said. There are reporters from major newspapers in Nutao City here. My speech will be published in tomorrow's newspaper without any changes. Citizens are welcome to supervise me.
The City Hall and City Council also welcome citizens’ scrutiny.”
After Councilman Ibel finished speaking, Luke gestured to Shelley beside him.
Shelley took a step forward, put his hand on the gun handle at his hip, and glanced at the audience.
With sword in hand and horse in hand, the big sister's domineering attitude intimidates the crowd.
After receiving the signal, the "actors" in the Cape District retreated and left the square in front of the Government Affairs Building. The unknown crowd that followed them also followed the crowd when they saw so many people leaving.
The reporters desperately recorded the scenes they saw in their small notebooks, and used all the fancy words they could think of to describe this thrilling process.
After the crisis at the Government Hall was resolved, reporters who wanted to get exclusive stories surrounded Councillor Ibrahim again.
Tomorrow's newspaper will definitely be the home turf of Councillor Ibul, and he will be the brightest star in Raging Waves City for a long time to come.
On the other hand, Virgil, who was also a councillor, stood in a corner, with no one paying attention to him except for a few sheriffs.
Virgil noticed that there were many imperial spies around Ibel, and Inspector Meteorite of the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau also came to support him.
"Inspector Meteorite..." Senator Virgil angrily approached Luke and said, "Why are you and your people here? This is the central city area, not the Cape District!"
The diligent Pisco stepped and used his tall body to prevent Virgil from getting closer.
Luke tapped Pisco's arm with his cane to get him out of the way, and then said to Virgil: "The Cape District is only the headquarters of our Secret Service Cape District Branch. As long as this is still the territory of the Empire, we, the Imperial spies, have the obligation to eliminate any security risks that we find for Your Majesty.
Mr. Councillor, you should thank me. If it weren't for my people helping you hold back the thugs, they would have already rushed in, and it would definitely be a more serious incident than the collapse of the Thunder Tower. "
Shelley added, "I just saw some sheriffs almost peed their pants. The Central City is really full of rubbish. They are not even as good as the guys in the Cape District Security Department."
Luke said to Virgil, "My subordinates' comments were unpleasant, but they were not wrong. The collapse of the Wrath of Thunder Tower and the attack on the City Hall fully prove that there are serious security issues in the central city.
Mr. Congressman, you should think carefully about what kind of people you have supported. "
Congressman Virgil knew that his subordinates were behaving very badly. They were used to a comfortable life and were definitely not as good as their counterparts in the Cape District who had to face villains all day long.
But he didn't come to Luke to argue about this.
"I will reorganize the Central District Security Bureau. You don't have to worry about it. Let me ask you, what is this demonstration about? I can see that you have brought these people here."
Luke laughed sarcastically and said, "Mr. Congressman, don't blame your own incompetence on conspiracy. Slandering a senior imperial agent without any evidence is a serious crime.
Think carefully about how to end it.
Councillor Ibel helped you to clear the siege of the Government Hall Building, and you need to handle the demonstration in the Central Park by yourself. I won't waste your time, and I, the abbot, still need to investigate the case of the Shamrock Airship.
goodbye!"
Luke pushed past Virgil and walked out.
Shelley and Pisco followed behind with a proud look on their faces, loudly calling out to the spies standing around.
"Pull up, pull up, follow the inspector back."
Luke was surrounded by a large group of imperial spies and left, while Senator Ibel continued to be interviewed by reporters.
Virgil turned around and walked into the Government Affairs Building angrily. He had to remind the relevant personnel that Ibul was secretly colluding with the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
He betrayed us!
And Luke didn't actually go back to the Cape.
He still has some bills that need to be settled by Congressman Ibul. Helping him to create such a big event today, the cost must be at least 10 million.
Considering this is a private purchase, we can give you a friendly price.
Just give him 20 million as a token of your appreciation.
If Councillor Ibul thinks the effect is good, wouldn't he make more money if he comes more often in the future?
Just as Luke was sitting in the car, thinking about how much appearance fee he could earn this time, a subordinate walked out of the car door.
"Inspector, Viscount Iscolan's car is in front. He wants you to come over. He wants to discuss something with you."
Iscolan?
Luke looked forward through the front windshield.
After the demonstration, all the shops on both sides of the street closed. Now there are a large number of imperial spies standing here, and even passers-by dare not walk this way.
The road was very deserted, and one could clearly see a luxurious carriage parked on the roadside thirty meters ahead.
The door of the carriage has the family crest of Viscount Iscolan. The shield and dagger are the main patterns, representing that the Iscolan family is the family that followed the Golden Shield royal family to create the Golden Shield Empire, and is also the family that founded the Blade Brotherhood.
He is a true aristocrat among aristocrats.
They are also the group of people who feel the most uncomfortable in this era of great change.
Luke was somewhat surprised that Viscount Isklan wanted to meet the head of an Imperial spy. After all, the Assassin's Tavern and the Imperial spies had a long history of fighting and killing each other, and the resentment was very deep.
What does he want to do when he sees me?
But since it was Isklan who proposed the meeting, Luke was not afraid. Today is different from the past. The Imperial Spy is enjoying unlimited glory with the rising imperial power, while the Blade Brotherhood is declining with the old nobles.
Although the assassin's name change to Blade was a trick, it also shows that the Blade Brotherhood is aware of their current status.
Luke got out of the car and walked to the carriage accompanied by two capable men.
Knock on the car door.
"My Lord, I am Meteor from the Secret Affairs Bureau of the Cape District. I am here at your invitation..."
