Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 86: The True Knight
Luke was drawing a blueprint, not sure whether he really wanted to build the Cape into that kind of place, or just wanted to make his own rabbit hole more solid and reliable.
But the two do not seem to conflict.
Viscount Iscolan has been observing this very special inspector, whose behavior is very different from that of previous senior CIA agents.
The behavior is totally incomprehensible.
This included sending people to secretly investigate what Inspector Meteorite had done after he took office. He was truly ruthless, swift and resolute, and knew how to use both kindness and severity. He managed to keep the Secret Intelligence Bureau and many gangs in the Cape District in check.
There was no time for the Cape District Security Department to react.
Or perhaps it could be said that Inspector Meteorite had a very good grasp of the timing, as he struck quickly when the Cape District Security Bureau's attention was all on the elf Clear Sky.
Yanyang Night School!
The scope for recruiting students is defined as the Cape Port terminal area.
There is news that Yanyang Night School is a reserve agent training academy for the Cape District Secret Service run by Detective Meteorite.
Viscount Isklan did not completely believe it, but the people who made a living at the docks in the Cape District firmly believed it. Inspector Meteorite was envied by many people for recruiting the Mad Axe Gang.
Recruiting gangsters, organizing demonstrations…
This detective is very brave!
I wonder if he's brave enough to team up with the Blade Brotherhood?
After Luke finished his explanation, the carriage fell into silence for a while, with both sides speculating on the other's intentions.
Finally, Viscount Iscolan broke the silence.
"If the city council passes the proposal to renovate Cape Harbor, I can help you apply for a loan from the Imperial Royal Bank, in which the Blade Brotherhood has a large percentage of shares.
In addition, I also want to contribute to the recovery of the Cape District. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me."
Luke was originally worried that Ibul could not handle the Imperial Royal Bank, but with Isklan stepping in, the matter was a sure thing.
"Thank you, Lord Viscount. Is there anything I can do for you?"
Back to the topic.
Iscolan decided to officially take the step he had been hesitating about.
"This requires us to go back to the incident of the Shamrock airship. According to the intelligence I received, the disappearance of this batch of gold caused a serious rift in the city council.
Congressman Ibr was questioned by some congressmen, officials and businessmen, who believed that he had embezzled the gold. Congressman Ibr also complained to his subordinates in private that an insider had designed the crash of the Shamrock airship in order to steal the gold.
The reason why MP Ibrahim took such extreme action today was purely for self-protection and to keep his seat in Parliament.
But by doing so, he made the rift within them irreparable. Whether Ibul really embezzled the gold or there was really a traitor inside, the struggle in the parliament would exposed.
Inspector, you are helping Ibul so much... In the eyes of some people, you are tied to him. You have been involved in the struggle of the Council of Raging Waves, and Councillor Ibul is obviously a businessman with economic acumen but lack of political acumen.
The chances of him failing are very high!"
Under Isklan’s gaze, Luke responded calmly without showing any emotion: “It seems that Ibel has concealed a lot of things from me and dragged me into this dangerous quagmire.
At this time, should I say: Sir, please save me! "
“Hahaha…” Luke’s answer made Iscolan burst into laughter: “Inspector Meteorite, you are such an interesting person. I regret telling you this. I’m taking a risk!
But my intuition tells me that we will have a very interesting cooperation. Now that you have seen my intention, I will tell you what I think...
Now, the originally very stable triangle of the Raging Waves City Council has become unstable. You, me, and Ibul can form a new stable triangle and join the triangle of the Raging Waves City Council."
"You want to make me a councillor of Raging Waves City?"
Luke could predict that Isklan would look for him to help him and Ibul connect, but he didn't expect that he would actually want to pull him and Ibul to form a small triangle within the big triangle of the parliament.
Are you kidding!
As a "fake" detective, my life is like that of Infernal Affairs. If I become a "fake" member of parliament, I will become schizophrenic.
Viscount Iscolan said sincerely: "To be honest, before I met you, I didn't consider you joining. But now I have changed my mind. You are an irreplaceable candidate in this triangle."
"But I'm an Imperial agent," Luke refused.
He just wanted to take a stick to muddy the water outside, catch a few fish and leave, but he never thought of jumping in to take a bath.
The development of events is a bit beyond the scope!
Iscolan confidently persuaded Luke: "Raging Waves City is a very special place for the Empire. The new nobles introduced republican ideas from abroad and replaced the previous feudal system with a parliamentary system.
This trend is spreading to the empire as the city of Nutao becomes more prosperous and wealthy. In the imperial court, some people even proposed adding a national parliament under the imperial cabinet to allow more people to participate in the governance of the empire.
Many divisions have arisen within the imperial court as a result, but it is certain that the new nobility, having helped the royal family take away privileges from our hereditary nobility, is trying to take power away from the royal power.
This is worthy of vigilance!"
Isklan paused for a moment, and seeing that Luke was listening attentively and showing no signs of rejection, he boldly continued, "The Empire has already lost control of Fury City, and using force will cause turmoil in the Empire and even civil war.
The best option is to take over a corner of the Raging Waves City Council and bring it back under the control of the Empire.
Ibrul represents the new nobility, I represent the hereditary nobility, and you can represent the royal family. If the interests of all parties are balanced here, a stability that everyone can accept can be achieved. "
Luke thought to himself: I can't represent the royal family, even though I have strategy CGs for all the royal family members .
"I'm afraid Her Royal Highness the Princess won't agree."
Luke tried to refuse, but Iscolan said, "I can write to Her Highness Agatha. With her wisdom and courage, she will agree!"
"Don't!" Luke stopped him immediately. If Agatha sent him back to the capital to teach him the strategy in person, I would have nowhere to hide! There was no way out, so I had to force it: "The affairs of the royal family are too complicated. If this is done, I will report it to Her Royal Highness the Princess. If it fails, I will take all the responsibility myself, and this matter has nothing to do with Her Royal Highness the Princess."
After hearing Luke's words, Viscount Iscolan stood in awe.
"Based on Inspector Meteorite's loyalty to the princess, I am sure I have chosen the right person this time.
Your character is rare in this impetuous era. You are a true knight!"
