"Inspector Meteor, I just expressed it very clearly." The watchman said resolutely: "This is the beginning of the great war of restoration! If we can get the support of the Golden Shield Empire, we will be very happy; even without the support of the empire, we will

I will continue to devote myself to the holy war.

We chose Raging Wave City because of this city's unrivaled international status. We want more people who care about the Kingdom of Leo to see it and give them hope."

"Are you dead soldiers?

"We are loyal to the Kingdom of Leo!'

The answer Luke received was what he expected, but it was also the last thing he wanted to hear. For someone who wants to die, it is difficult to offer conditions that make them happy.

"You want to use this attack to expand your influence and damage the relationship between the Empire and the Republic of Rio. Isn't it too fanciful to harm the interests of the Empire in this way and still hope to get our support?

The watchman said to Luke: "Inspector, although we are the first to come to Raging Waves City, we know that the empire is an empire and Raging Waves City is Raging Waves City. Anyone can support us. Our war needs overseas allies.

In return, the revived Leo Kingdom can agree to many conditions for you."

At this moment Luke already understood Pan's purpose in initiating this incident.

This is an extreme terrorist attack, with no material demands, just to express one's attitude and position. As a world-class commercial city, Nutao City, such a serious attack here, can quickly spread to the world.

As the lookout said, the Kingdom of Leo needs the intervention of overseas forces if it wants to recover. Whether it is the state or private individuals, if they want to make venture investments in the Kingdom of Leo in the future, now is the opportunity.

Luke sighed and said: "It seems that you also know that through normal military means, you cannot overthrow the Republic of Rio. After so many years, the new generation of Rio people have forgotten the former kingdom. Now the Leo government

Rule, and gave them a life that the kingdom had not given them.

You can only use this extreme method to fulfill your deepest wishes. This approach is very sad and shameful.

I'll give you one last chance and let everyone go. I can guarantee that you can leave safely.

Luke's words made the watchman look ashamed, but he still insisted on his philosophy: "Your humiliation will not make us change the belief we insist on. Our purpose has been made clear to you... We have no intention of fighting with the Golden Shield."

The Empire is the enemy, and this attack is only targeting officials of the Leo puppet regime.

In three days, we will execute everyone here.

You are also welcome to attack, we can show the strength we have to the outside world. I heard that the Abyss Temple was taught a lesson in Raging Waves City, and we also hope to have a wonderful battle."

Luke put out his cigarette butt on the table: "Your wish will come true, Raging Wave City will not let you use our world influence to cause an international crisis.

The attack you want will begin soon.

But...since your enemies are Leo officials, can the imperial employees working in the consulate be released? They are innocent.'

"Yes!" The watchman agreed readily: "Empire employees can leave. We do not regard the empire as an enemy. I also look forward to in-depth cooperation with you."

Luke smiled and said: "You have no chance. I will use your lives to add merit to mine. But your master and I still have a chance to cooperate.

The lookout looked at Luke's smile and asked nervously: "Do you know who we work for?"

"I know, I just talked to him about helping the exiled Leo nobles. But he seems to just want to reveal his identity as the former Leo royal family in order to reap the dividends generated by your attack on the Leo consulate this time."

Pan's identity determines that he cannot go around saying: I am a member of Leo's royal family, I want to restore the country, who of you is willing to support me.

Today, he timely revealed his identity as a member of the Leo royal family, and it happened that the Leo consulate in Raging Wave City was attacked by an international crisis. Those who have some ideas about the Leo Kingdom will naturally find a way to contact him.

He passively accepts refuge and support, which does not affect his status as a Shuojin person.

Hearing Luke mention Pan, the watchman showed admiration: "His Highness has unparalleled wisdom and bravery, and he will become the greatest king of the Leo Kingdom. Now that the Inspector has seen our Highness, is he interested in our restoration?"

How much more confidence do you have?'

"Confidence and so on... not much for the time being. I still need to continue to observe him to see if he is really as good as you said. Let's talk about this for this meeting. I'm going to see Consul Leo

Officer, listen to the opinion of the Republic of Rio."

The watchman stood up and sent Luke out: "Inspector, I am impressed by your charm. I look forward to the next meeting with you. Maybe the next time we meet will be a life and death battle."

"I'm looking forward to your performance. Goodbye."

Luke said goodbye to the watchman like a normal visitor, and then went to see Consul Leo under the guidance of the gatekeeper.

Consul Leo and four other diplomats were detained in a room on the third floor. Like the people in the hall, they all looked weak. Even when talking to Luke, they had to take three breaths.

Don't expect them to be of any help when the rescue operation begins.

Luke identifies himself to Consul Leo and informs the lookouts of their purpose of kidnapping them.

"I met with their leader. You will be executed in three days. We will do our best to rescue you, but they are all dead soldiers, and the rescue operation cannot guarantee your safety.

This is the Leo Consulate in Raging Waves City. In theory, it is the temporary territory of your Leo Republic. All actions taken by the empire here require your consent.’

Consul Leo was a thin old man wearing glasses. He seemed to have exhausted all his remaining energy and said: "The luxurious life of the Leo royal family and the lack of food of the Leo people are the root causes of the destruction of the Leo Kingdom. The Leo people have

The freedom to choose who is the ruler of the country. We...we...

Luke stopped the consul from continuing: "Sir, consul, this is the Golden Shield Empire. These slogans of yours can be said in your land, but don't tell them to an imperial spy. My duty is not to give anyone a choice.

The freedom of who is the ruler of the empire.

I only want one answer.

Do you let us save you, or do you save yourself?"

How can a consular officer, who has difficulty standing up from a chair, save himself? But if agents from the Golden Shield Empire rush in to rescue him, his life safety is not guaranteed.

"Can't we negotiate with these kidnappers?"

"Unless you declare surrender, I can't think of any conditions that would make the Watchers let you go. Anyway, the Empire is not prepared to agree to any of the Watchers' demands.

"I, we

When the consul was considering the consequences of surrender, Luke said: "Whether you surrender or not, the Empire will never let these people leave this area alive.

The majesty of the empire does not allow any blasphemy, and Raging Wave City does not allow anyone to damage the city's international image."

Then what are you asking me for?

"Inspector, Inspector Meteorite... I think we can think of a more secure approach."

The consul was very afraid of death. If he had the strength now, he would probably kneel on the ground and hold Luke's legs and beg.

Luke didn't expect the consul to be so cowardly. He took out his pistol and threatened: "Sir, Consul, I need your authorization. If you are unconscious and unable to make a decision, I will ask the Vice-Consul.'

Seeing that Inspector Meteorite actually took out a gun, the consular officer immediately took out his seal and said: "I authorize you that Inspector Meteorite has full authority to preside over the rescue operation of Leo's consulate in Raging Wave City.'

"As ordered, Mr. Consul." Luke received the consular seal: "The rescue operation will begin soon."

When Luke entered Leo's Consul's fog, Ivan appeared on the roof of a nearby building. From his position, he could clearly see the vigilant Sheriff and Imperial agents outside the fog.

A man dressed as a watchman appeared behind Pan. He knelt on one knee and said, "Reporting to the master, Inspector Meteor has entered the consulate of the rebel puppet regime.'

"He's in!" Meteorite's dangerous entry into the consulate surprised Pan: "He's very brave, isn't he afraid that the watchers inside will kill him?'

"Master, the Sheriff and spies of Raging Wave City have sealed off the entire foggy area. People outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. If the master doesn't want the meteor to die, it will be difficult for us to notify the lookouts inside."

Pan smiled and said: "In this holy war to restore the country, no one can die. I admire Yue Xing's ability, but after all, he is a secret agent of the Golden Shield Empire. If his fate is to die in my hands, he will accept his fate.

.

I don’t know if the watchman inside can hold on for three days.’

"The secret technique given to us by the master has been blessed by the ancient shimmering golden language. The fog of the crossroads cannot be solved by relying on the number of people. The watchers will definitely be able to hold on for three days and let the whole world see the start of the holy war for the restoration of the Leo Kingdom.

.

Those who care about the Kingdom will surely rush to vote.’

Pan looked at the night in the distance. To the east was the ocean, and to the east was Leo. There was no impression of that place in his memory, but the blood flowing in his body told him all the time.

You are the new king of Leo, the land of your ancestors is now yours.

"I will lead Leo on the right path."

"My master is brave!'

When Luke came out of the fog in a carriage, there was already a glimmer of light in the east. Coming out with him were dozens of imperial employees working in the consulate. They clung to the carriage for fear of getting lost in the fog.

middle.

The wolf-like police officers arrested all the hired workers and interrogated them one by one about their identities.

Viscount Eskoland opened the door of the carriage and saw that Luke sitting inside was intact. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. "Inspector... Chief Inspector, you took too long to go in. I almost missed it."

I couldn’t help but rush in with people.”

Luke got out of the car, looked at the noisy scene outside, and said to Iskran: "The watchman inside promised to release the imperial employees, but the selection and screening took some time.

I have talked with their leader. There is no possibility of peaceful resolution of this incident, so prepare to attack.

Have you found the drawings of the Leo Consulate?"

Viscount Iskran said: "I found it. I have set up a temporary command post nearby. Let's go there to talk.

There’s news from the Parliament.’

Luke said to Caesar who was standing by: "All of these employees are being imprisoned and will be released until my order. No information related to the interior of the consulate is allowed to be released to the outside."

"Yes, Chief Inspector!"

Luke followed Iskran to the temporary command post. It was a residential building, and it seemed that the home decoration was relatively well-off. Mrs. Mihir and Councilor Ibur were already waiting here.

After sitting down around a table, Luke first asked Mrs. Michel: "Has Yin returned to the hotel?"

"She's gone back. She went back with Director Ban. Chief Inspector, please don't worry.

Luke asked Councilor Ibur again: "What information is there in the parliament?"

Councilor Ibur has been working on this matter since he learned about the attack on the Leo Consulate. Viscount Iscolan has just taken over as the city's security chief, and Meteor is the most senior spy in Raging Waves City, with great power and great responsibilities.

"Parliament has just held an emergency meeting...Speaker Grover asked us to resolve this incident quickly. It must not trigger a diplomatic incident that is difficult to end, let alone a serious disaster.

The city's security department and the Secret Intelligence Service must demonstrate their due capabilities so that the world can still recognize the safety of Raging City."

Viscount Iscolan brought the architectural drawings of the Leo Consulate, laid them out on the table and said: "The new nobles probably haven't reacted to this emergency yet. Our people told me that they are holding an internal meeting.

After daybreak, they will work out their measures to deal with us, and we don’t have much time. Since the chief inspector said that the problem cannot be solved peacefully, we will immediately attack by force, and there is nothing we can do if the hostages are sacrificed.'

Luke looked at the complicated architectural drawings and said after deep thought: "If the kidnappers are cornered and all the hostages die, there will be no way to end it.

Iskran said anxiously: "What should we do?'

"Our opponents want us to be anxious, so I can't be anxious. And I think we can use this crisis to demonstrate the public security capabilities of Raging Wave City to the world."

"Display of security capabilities?" The three congressmen all had question marks on their faces.

Luke smiled and said: "The lookouts gave us three days, during which they will not harm the hostages. We can use these three days to formulate a complete rescue plan.

Moreover, the outside world does not know that there is a three-day safety period. We can show the workers who came with me to the empire in batches to the outside world. Every batch of alive people who appear is the result of our negotiations with the kidnappers.

If Raging City wants a sense of security, we will give them a sense of security. What can be more secure than the scene of people being rescued alive from the hands of kidnappers? What better way to demonstrate our abilities?"
