Just like that, Mayor Diamond was arrested by the Royal Guards. Evidence of Mayor Diamond embezzling the municipal budget and ordering the burning down of the orphanage and the murder of Principal Teresa were found in his office. He would be punished for all these crimes.... In any case, he would not be able to escape.
And so, this matter was finally over. It was a cause for celebration, a cause for celebration.
But.....
"I still feel like something's not quite right...."
Watching Mayor Diamond being carried away, Krose had a complicated look on her face.
"What's not right? Isn't this the right thing to do? "
Fangzheng appeared very calm.
"Look, Diamond has been arrested, and the evidence has been found. He can't escape this time.... What's the problem?"
"But.... I still feel like this is a little strange...."
"You're thinking too much."
Fangzheng patted Krose on the shoulder.
"Look, although I asked you to call the Royal Guards, one of the main tasks of the Royal Guards is to protect you, right? And when you came here to confront Diamond, is it wrong to call the Royal Guards to protect you in the dark? Besides, we didn't force him to do it. He could have cried bitterly and said that he was in the wrong and was willing to repent and repent, but he refused to repent. He even released the magical beasts and even used his ancient relics to kill us. That's the truth, isn't it? "
"That's true, but … …"
Krose still had a strange look on her face.
"But I still feel like something's not right."
"You're too demanding of yourself. It's important to be flexible in dealing with the development of the situation. Although I can understand that you don't want to use your power to intervene in this dispute, what you want to do and what you can do are two different things. Of course, we can also completely withdraw from this matter. After all, we've already caught the person who attacked Madam Teresa. After we sign the contract today, Starlight Technology will take over the reconstruction of the orphanage. Diamond wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Starlight Technology even if he had ten guts. As long as we pretend that nothing happened, won't this matter be over? "
"...."
"Not everything in the world is as perfect as you think. For example, right now, we really can't get enough clues through formal channels to testify against him, but if you don't want this matter to end in such an unclear way, you have to use some dishonest methods.... As for whether this is right or not, I suggest you consult Her Majesty when you go back."
Fangzheng obviously knew why Krose was in a dilemma. To put it bluntly, she was a mysophobe. This princess had always had high standards for herself, and she had always been determined to be an upright and incorruptible princess. But now, under Fangzheng's instigation, she had resorted to entrapment. It wasn't strange for Krose to be in a dilemma.
But that was all Fangzheng could say. He would leave the rest to Her Majesty to console her.
Of course, according to Fangzheng, the reason why the matter had turned out this way was due to the difference in authority between the Guerrilla Association and the kingdom's law enforcement. If there was a police organization like the one in Fangzheng's previous life that had jurisdiction over everything, they would have been able to start investigating and interrogating Mayor Diamond. Then, they would have been able to resolve the matter through proper procedures.
But now?
The guerrillas investigating this matter did not have the authority to interrogate and arrest Mayor Diamond, and the garrison and army that had the authority to arrest and interrogate Mayor Diamond were not in charge of civilian affairs.
Otherwise, why would Fangzheng resort to entrapment?
Perhaps he should write a letter to Her Majesty the Queen and talk about this problem. Of course, that was what he said, but Fangzheng also knew that it would be difficult to reform the Kingdom of Libel, especially when the famous Cassius Bredt was a guerrilla. Cassius Bredt had boosted the reputation of the guerrillas among the people.
As for the problem of dividing the relationship between the people and the government, only a few people would care about it. Most people did not care at all. Under such circumstances, it would be difficult for the Kingdom of Libel to find an opportunity to suppress the Guerrilla Association.
Even the powerful Erebonian Empire had to resort to underhanded means to get rid of the Guerrilla Association, let alone the Kingdom of Libel.
Krose followed the Royal Guards back to the palace. Not only was she going to watch Mayor Diamond's interrogation, she was also going to report the Intelligence Department to her grandmother. The Intelligence Department had almost killed someone, yet they were able to get away just because they made a mistake. This was something that Krose would never forgive. Fangzheng asked Krose to deliver a letter to Her Majesty the Queen. He wanted to talk about the current political system of the Kingdom from the matter of Mayor Diamond. Of course, he knew that a letter could not change anything, but at least he could state his stand.
Many times, it was important to state one's stand.
After that, Fangzheng returned to Chase and continued his peaceful and leisurely life. For him, the current focus was still on the construction of the Starlight Tower and the establishment of the Starlight Entertainment City network in the various regions. The network of Starlight Technology in Libel had been completed, and the expansion of the business in the Republic and the Empire was going smoothly. After all, indoor electronic entertainment halls were indeed very eye-catching, and in addition, Starlight Technology was the only company in the entire Semuria Continent that knew how to use chips to manufacture video game consoles, so other organizations could not replicate it even if they wanted to.
If they dared to go back to the Republic and the Empire to ask for chips to manufacture video game consoles, they would probably be slapped to death by the President and the Emperor.
Because of that, without any competitors, Starlight Technology's business expansion in various countries had been progressing smoothly. Not to mention Fangzheng's unique franchise system, which prevented Starlight Technology from competing with local forces. If they were willing, Starlight Technology could provide the equipment for them to build their own. In order to obtain exclusive authorization from Starlight Technology, various forces and consortiums from all over the country also took action … Well, although this was a little disadvantageous for Starlight Technology from a business perspective, for Fangzheng, as the God of Games, it was a rare opportunity to have someone pay to build a gaming network for him. He couldn't ask for more.
And you don't have to worry about managing it.
At that moment, Fangzheng, who was immersed in the spread of the gaming network and feeling the godly power of games from all over the world, did not know that two guests were approaching not far away.
"Whoa, we'll reach Chase after we pass through this tunnel, right?"
Walking in the Kaludia Tunnel, Estelle waved her bat excitedly.
"When we reach Chase, we can go to the headquarters of Starlight Technology!"
"Okay, okay, calm down, Estelle."
Joshua, the black-haired boy beside her, shook his head with a helpless smile when he saw the impatient look on the girl's face. He had lived with Estelle for a long time, so he naturally knew that one of Estelle's hobbies was playing video games, especially dance machines, which were Estelle's favorite.
As a matter of fact, when Estelle toured the kingdom as a quasi-guerilla, she swore that she would dominate all dance machines in Ribel's electronic entertainment city. Now that they were heading to Chase, where Starlight Technology's headquarters was located, Estelle was naturally looking forward to and excited about it.
"How can I calm down? Mr. Fangzheng said that there will be new games in the headquarters of Starlight Technology. I can't wait …"
"It doesn't matter if you're excited, but don't forget the mission Dad entrusted to you."
"I won't forget."
Estelle stretched her hand into her bosom.
"I've always been good, the one Dad gave us …"
"…"
"Did you lose it?"
Joshua was taken aback when he saw Estele standing rooted to the ground with cold sweat dripping down her forehead. Before coming to Chase, they had received a mysterious object sent by their father through the Guerrilla Association, saying that it was for Dr. R in Chase. This object was very important to them!
"Hehe! It's here. "
Seeing Joshua's worried look, Estelle grinned and reached out her hand. She lifted a small, strange, pitch-black instrument.
"Look, it's intact!"
"Phew … You almost scared me to death."
Joshua broke out in cold sweat as he looked at Estelle who was showing off in front of him smugly.
However, at that moment, a girl's voice suddenly came from the tunnel ahead.
"Hahahah … No, no, I can't take it anymore!"
Hearing this voice, the two of them looked up and saw a blonde girl wearing a red hat and strange clothes jogging toward them from the other end of the tunnel. Behind her, there were two people following her.
The girls hurriedly stopped when they saw Joshua and Estelle.
Joshua also greeted the three of them.
"Hey, hello."
"What's the matter? Why are you so anxious? "
Estelle asked curiously when she saw the blonde girl in the front wearing a red hat and goggles. Hearing Estelle's question, the blonde girl also hurriedly answered.
"Ah, hello. Excuse me … Sister, did you come along this tunnel?"
"Yeah, what's the matter?"
Hearing Estelle's answer, the blonde girl breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked again.
"Erm, erm, did you see any lights that went out on the way? The lights installed on the walls of the tunnel … "
This time, Joshua thought about it for a while before answering.
"Although I haven't seen any lights that went out, there's a light that doesn't seem to be very bright at the place across the river."
"That's it!"
Hearing Joshua's answer, the blonde girl's expression suddenly changed.
"It's just as I thought. I'm sorry, I have to go now!"
While saying that, the blonde girl quickly passed by the two and ran forward.
"Really, Tida, why are you running? Didn't I tell you that the guide light won't grow legs and run away by itself?"
At this moment, the other girl behind the blonde girl also complained helplessly. She had short purple hair that reached her shoulders and was tied with a big ribbon. She was wearing a white dress and holding a black rabbit doll in her hand. She looked like the daughter of a rich merchant. The purple-haired girl complained as she followed. When she passed by the two, she smiled at Estelle and Joshua, then lifted the hem of her skirt and bowed.
"Thank you, big brother and big sister. We have to go first."
After that, the purple-haired girl ran forward with the blonde girl.
"…"
Shortly after, a girl with long blue hair and a black cloak draped over her entire body walked over silently. She held an oddly shaped staff in her hand and wore a cat ear-like accessory on her head. The blue-haired girl nodded at the two and followed.
Shortly after, the three young ladies vanished into the tunnel.
"They must be Chase's children. They look really interesting, but I wonder what they're doing in such a hurry."
Joshua couldn't help but comment as he gazed at the three girls. Astir, on the other hand, stared at the tunnel uneasily.
"Ugh … I'm a little worried. After all, there are a lot of wandering magical beasts in this tunnel. Joshua, let's chase after them and take a look. "
"I knew you would say that."
Upon hearing Estelle's words, Joshua looked at her with a smile.
"Indeed, it's too dangerous to let three little girls walk in this place. It's better to chase after them and take a look."
"Okay, let's go."
Hearing until here, Estelle nodded with force. Then, both of them turned around and ran back the way they came.
