"Mr. Fangzheng!!"
When Fangzheng and Fay left the hotel, Krose hurriedly followed them.
"Do you know something?"
"Hmm?"
"Mayor Diamond didn't look right just now. For you to say something like that in that situation, does it mean that you know something?"
"Oh, as expected of the princess. Your observation skills are quite sharp."
Upon hearing Krose's words, Fangzheng immediately chuckled. As for Krose, she frowned unhappily.
"Please don't tease me! Don't tell me you're thinking that it's Mayor Diamond's plan … "
"It's just a guess."
Of course, Fangzheng wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth. He just shrugged.
"According to Starlight Technology's intelligence, the mayor is planning to develop a high-class villa area along the coast. He has invested a lot of money into it. Hmm, to be fair, if I were to open a villa area for the nobles and the upper class, I wouldn't want a dirty and dilapidated orphanage to be right under my nose. This will obviously affect the appreciation of the property."
"How can that be …"
Upon hearing this, Krose's face turned pale. Then, she bit her lower lip.
"Can we look for the guerrillas to solve this problem?"
"I'm afraid not. The guerrilla association exists because they don't have the power to enforce the law against the current officials. This is also the reason why the governments of various countries allow them to exist. After all, the existence of organizations like the guerrilla association can easily help them cover up some private crimes. "
Fangzheng wasn't wrong. The governments of various countries weren't fools. Although from the perspective of a ruler, the guerrilla association separated the close relationship between the country and the people, on the other hand, the existence of the guerrilla association also created a gap in the law enforcement of a country. The guerrilla association protected the civilians, while the army was mainly responsible for maintaining the stability and security of the country.
In this way, the crimes committed by the nobles and the upper class against the civilians couldn't be done as long as they weren't caught red-handed by the guerrillas.
On the other hand, as this was a crime committed by nobles against commoners, it wasn't within the jurisdiction of the military. Therefore, as long as the nobles could get rid of the threat of the guerrillas, they could do whatever they wanted.
This was another reason why every country had tacitly agreed to the existence of the Guerrilla Association.
"…"
Naturally, Krose was no fool. Fangzheng's explanation was very clear, and she immediately understood what he meant.
"But … what should we do?"
"There's no other way."
Fangzheng spread his hands.
"It's just speculation. There is no evidence. We can't send Mayor Lou An to prison because of speculation, unless we catch him on the spot. But just now, with the mayor's ability, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to expose himself."
"Is there really no other way?"
"It's not that there are none."
Fangzheng chuckled.
"Do you remember that I just said that Starlight Technology will send someone to sign the contract with Ms. Theresa tomorrow?"
"Hmm … You didn't lie to them on purpose, did you?"
"That's not it, but it's not good news for the mayor. After all, once the contract is signed, the entire process of rebuilding the orphanage will be done by Starlight Technology. No matter how capable Mayor Lu is, he can't control what Starlight Technology does in the orphanage's territory. But it's not that there's no way to solve this problem. "
"What way?"
"It's very simple."
Seeing Krose staring at him curiously, Fangzheng smiled and whispered in the princess' ear.
"As long as the party who signed the contract doesn't exist."
"… Huh?"
"If the representative of Starlight Technology comes here tomorrow and finds that Ms. Theresa was killed because of an accident or a burglary, what do you think will happen?"
"No, no way!!!"
At this moment, Krose was completely nervous.
"You mean Mayor Delmon and the others will kill … kill the teacher?"
"What's so strange about that? If we hadn't arrived in time last night, Ms. Theresa and the others would have been burned to death."
"…"
Hearing this, Krose's face turned pale. Perhaps she didn't want to think about it before, but now that Fangzheng reminded her, she suddenly understood how dangerous the situation was at that time.
"So what should we do now?"
"In short …"
With that said, Fangzheng looked around.
"Let's get out of here first."
"… Huh?"
The black chariot roared away from the village and disappeared on the mountain road in no time. When the chariot was completely out of sight, in the forest outside the village, a soldier in black armor poked his head out, raised his binoculars, and looked ahead carefully. He then turned his head back.
"Inform the others immediately that the target has left the Perth area. Everyone, get ready. We'll take action late at night!!"
"Yes!!!"
Soon, night fell again.
When the entire village fell into a quiet slumber, a few black figures sneaked into the village.
"Are we still going to set the place on fire?"
One of the black figures asked, while the other shook his head.
"It's too conspicuous to encounter continuous fires. It'll easily attract the attention of the guerrilla association. This time, we're going to be like thieves who break into an empty house and kill them to silence them after we're discovered. Remember, the target is only Theresa. According to the intelligence, she lives in room 203 on the second floor. Go in and do it, then evacuate immediately. Don't make any noise, understand? "
"Yes!!"
The door of the hotel was already locked in the middle of the night, but this was naturally not a problem for regular intruders. They quickly pried open the door lock, slipped into the hotel, and went to the second floor. The leader of the black figures opened the closed door. Ms. Theresa was sleeping soundly on the bed. After all, she had a tiring day. In order to sign the contract with the representative of Starlight Technology tomorrow, she also wanted to rest up, so she went to bed early.
The black figure walked slowly to Ms. Theresa's bed, raised the sharp blade in his hand, and stabbed it down!
Pa!!
But at that moment, a big hand suddenly appeared from the depths of the dark shadows and grabbed the black figure's wrist.
"Invading someone's residence and waiting for an opportunity to murder. Well, the culprit can't escape now."
As he spoke, Fangzheng strode out of the shadows. Seeing his appearance, the black figure was also taken aback. One had to know that although the special forces weren't good at direct combat, they were very good at hiding and searching.
But just now, before Fangzheng attacked, he didn't even feel that someone was hiding there!
Bang!!
At the same time, the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind. The black figure turned around and saw another of his companions was knocked to the ground by a girl with short silver-white hair.
"Run!!"
The black figures behind also hurriedly turned around and ran. But when they ran to the door, they found that they were blocked. Krose held a thin sword in her hand, standing coldly at the door, staring at the black figures in front of her.
"I didn't expect that you would actually attack my teacher. You're worse than beasts!"
Looking at the black figures in front of her, Krose bit her lips and was so angry that she couldn't speak a word. And the black figures weren't easy to deal with either. Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, one of them hurriedly took out a smoking pipe and threw it to the ground.
Bang!!
Shortly after, along with the sound of an explosion, the smoke exploded and covered the young lady's vision.
"Where do you think you're going!!"
Even though she was facing the smoke, Krose wasn't afraid at all. She held the thin sword in her hand and swiftly entangled one of the black figures. Then, without much effort, she knocked him to the ground. But that black figure could be considered to have bought some time. After the smoke dispersed, the remaining two were nowhere to be seen.
"Are you alright, Krose?"
At this moment, Fangzheng also walked down from the second floor. He looked at Krose and asked, but Krose shook her head.
"Apologies, Mr. Fangzheng. I let them escape."
"It's fine. We've already captured three captives."
Looking at the unconscious black figure in front of Krose, Fangzheng sneered, then looked out the window.
"As for the rest …. Let them run. They won't be able to run for long anyway."
At the same time, in the dark forest, the remaining two men in black also ran with all their might, quickly returning to the designated location. One of them stretched out a finger and emitted a bird's cry from his mouth. Very soon, several men in black appeared from the bushes.
"What's going on? Where are the others? "
"It's an ambush. We lost three people! They've been captured! "
"What?!"
Hearing this, the man in the lead frowned.
"How could you be so careless? Let's get out of here immediately, don't let … "
Splat!!
However, the man didn't finish his words, because at the same time, an arrow of light quietly flew past and penetrated his head. The man's eyes widened, his body swayed a few times, then he fell to the ground with a thud.
"What's going on?"
"Ambush! We're being ambushed!! "
While they were talking, another two people were penetrated by the arrow of light and died completely. The others took the opportunity to roll over and hide behind thick tree trunks.
"Is it a sniper? Where did it come from? "
"I don't know. We can't find them!"
"No matter what, let's get out of here first …"
"Rustle …"
However, before they finished speaking, the bushes around them suddenly began to shake. The men in black immediately clenched their weapons nervously and aimed at the bushes in front of them. They held their breaths and didn't dare to move. The shaking of the bushes around them stopped after a while.
Is it the wind?
They exchanged puzzled glances, but at that moment, a dark figure suddenly appeared from a tree. The next moment, a sharp and slender tail penetrated the chest of one of the men in black and pinned him to the tree.
"Argh!!!"
The intense pain caused the man in black to scream. However, before he could finish screaming, he was pulled into the shade of the tree in the next moment and disappeared without a trace.
"D9, what's wrong? What happened? Please answer me! "
There was no response. The surroundings were still dead silent. However, this time, the black-robed men seemed to have discovered that something was hidden in the shadows of the darkness.
"D-Damn it! What's going on? It can't be a demonic beast, right?! "
"How can there be such a demonic beast? Let's get out of here! "
Soon, the other men in black gathered and quickly ran to the periphery.
No one noticed that as they ran forward, the black-clothed man at the back would be suddenly pulled to the ground without a sound. Then, he would disappear into the bushes before he could even make a sound. In just a few moments, the Black Cloth Army, which originally had a few people, was now left with only the leader.
"It's right in front.
The Airship is right in front! "
The man in black heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the Airship parked not far away. He looked back happily, but his expression changed drastically.
There was no one behind him except for the pitch-black forest.
The soldiers who had been following him had long since disappeared.
"Argh … Arghhhhh!!!"
At that moment, intense fear completely defeated the man in black. He screamed and rushed to the Airship. He didn't want to think about anything anymore. He just wanted to get away from this godforsaken place, as far as possible.
He ran desperately to the flight deck and pulled open the door to the control room.
The next moment, a black shadow descended from the sky and pushed him to the ground.
"Noooooooo!!!"
His screams echoed in the Airship. After a while, there was no more sound.
"The battle is over."
Standing on a hill not far away, Ennaia put down the Wrath of the Stars in her hand and revealed an elegant smile. Around her, several pitch-black Xenomorphs were staring downwards, letting out terrifying screeches.
"With this, the mission Mr. Fangzheng gave me has been successfully completed."
