Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 87: Dig a hole and jump into it
Coming out of the car, Luke faced the wind blowing past the street and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
Why do I feel like... this time I dug a hole and trapped myself in it.
What is this!
"Inspector!" The docile maid handed over the hat and cane.
Luke took the cane and hat, turned around and saluted Iscolan himself in the carriage: "This is a meeting I will never forget. Goodbye, Viscount Iscolan."
"Goodbye, Inspector Meteorite... We will open a new chapter for Raging Waves City."
The maid got into the car, smiled at Luke and closed the door.
The carriage drove away along the street.
Shelley and Pisco came to Luke, and Shelley asked: "Inspector, what does Viscount Iscolan want to talk to you about? He is a big shot in the Blade Brotherhood..."
Luke put his hat on.
"Nothing, just small talk... Inspector, I'm going to take you to do something big this time!"
Pisco asked boldly, "Inspector, what's the matter? I'll take the lead!"
"Go find Councillor Ibel and ask for money!"
Shelley and Pisco shouted happily in unison: "Yes, Inspector!"
After getting on the special car, Luke figured things out and stopped worrying about anything.
It's not that easy to cram people into the Council of Nutao City, so let Ibul and Isklan, the two guys with the surname Yi, go to the front, and this inspector will help them guard the rear.
By the time they put the tripod inside the city council, my rabbit hole will probably be almost complete.
Luke led a group of imperial spies and headed straight for Senator Ibel's home, causing chaos in the luxurious mansion.
Councillor Ibel's neurotic behavior these days has made his family and servants in the mansion very nervous as well, feeling as if something bad is going to happen.
Last night the Tower of Fury was destroyed by the elf Clear Sky, and today so many people took to the streets to protest. Ibul, who hadn't gone out for several days, hurried out and has not sent any news since.
We sent someone to the Government Affairs Building to ask, and the people there said they had never seen the congressman.
It made everyone in the family very worried.
Therefore, when they saw so many imperial spies surrounding the mansion, they all thought that these spies were here to confiscate the property.
It took Luke a lot of effort to explain everything to the crying women, children and servants through the door.
"Congressman Ibrahim is fine. I am his friend. I brought so many people with me to protect you and prevent the thugs in the parade from harming the ladies, young ladies, and young masters..."
Mrs. Ibel stood inside the door under the protection of the mansion's guards. Her face was thickly powdered, and tears washed down her eyeliner, leaving two black lines on her cheeks, which was very creepy.
Seeing that these imperial spies did not rush in, she suppressed her worries and asked Luke, "Are you really the master's friend?"
Shelley said, "This is Inspector Meteor from the Cape District Secret Service. If we want to rush in, do you think this door can stop us?
Our inspector has been busy all day for the councillor's affairs. Please open the door and let us in. The inspector has something else to discuss with Councillor Ibrahim when he returns."
Luke asked the somewhat irritable Shelley to step back, and then said to Mrs. Ibel inside the door: "Councilman Ibel has indeed encountered some troubles recently, and he is now under the protection of my people. My subordinates have been busy with Councilman Ibel's affairs for a whole day, and they are a little tired, please forgive me.
I will only take two people in, the others will be outside, please give them some water and food, madam."
Mrs. Ibel hesitated for a moment, then asked the servant to open the door and let Luke, Shelley and Pisco in.
And asked people to prepare water and food to be sent to the spies outside.
"Inspector, please go to the living room and rest... I will immediately send someone to the Government Affairs Office to tell the master about your visit."
"Thanks……"
Luke walked into this luxurious private mansion and passed through a large courtyard covered with flowers. He saw a three-story white building with a huge area. The decoration inside was also magnificent, explaining what wealth and luxury meant.
The floor is made of marble, and there are exquisite statues placed at intervals in the corridor. The walls are white and smooth, decorated with fabrics, and hung with paintings by famous artists. If you look closely, you can see many dynamic magic oil paintings.
The air is filled with the refreshing scent of flowers.
What he saw and heard made the reckless Pisco not only slow down his pace, but also look around in surprise like a bumpkin who had never seen the world.
When Luke arrived at Ibel Mansion, the debate in the council chamber of the city government building reached its climax.
There were eight members of parliament sitting around the conference round table, with only the speaker's seat in the center empty.
Just now, Councilman Virgil accused Councilman Ibel of organizing and directing this demonstration involving the entire City of Rage, which not only caused great damage to the city's operations, but also attempted to attack the city hall building.
"Do you know how much damage today's incident has caused to the international reputation of Nutao City? Insecurity and riots will make international hot money afraid to enter Nutao City, will make ships dare not dock at Nutao Port, and will make merchants flee here.
Members of Parliament!
I have always believed that protecting the stability of the city is a tacit understanding between us. But today, Councillor Ibrahim did something that went against us. I think he should be terminated from all his positions in the City Hall and be investigated by the Public Security Bureau! "
Ibul, who was in high spirits at the moment, immediately retorted.
"Councilman Virgil, you are slandering a city councilor of Fury City without any evidence. I seriously suspect that you are shirking the responsibility you need to bear for the destruction of Fury Tower.
Members of Parliament, please note that without the destruction of the Thunder Tower, there would be no city-wide demonstrations today.
As for the danger of Elf Sky, Oulu College had warned the city’s security department long ago , but look at what Councillor Virgil did?
I feel like he didn't do anything. Even last night, it was the Abyss Mage who arrived at the scene before the city sheriff.
Virgil, is this how you show the world the security situation in Raging Waves? Right now... there are still 100,000 people gathered in Central Park, and your sheriffs will soon show their incompetence to the world under the gaze of reporters. "
In response to Ibel's offensive, Councillor Virgil responded with an offensive response.
“Although I don’t have any evidence now, I believe that all the members of the Senate can see the imperial spies appearing around you. They are all from the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
The Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau was on the scene of the crash of the Clover airship, and you later gave the investigation rights to Meteorite. I believe that the gold did not disappear in the sea, but was embezzled by you in collusion with the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau. "
Ibul laughed out loud: "Virgil, you finally showed your true colors. I embezzled the gold? You arranged the protection of the Shamrock airship, right?
Under the protection of ten cross gargoyles and four magicians, I almost died in the crash of the airship.
Who on earth wants to steal that gold? "
