Chapter fifty-six rich
Viscount Iskran's position is in the back row of civil representatives.
Surrounded by some private security companies and mercenary groups, his unique temperament perfectly explained what it means to stand out among these people. There is no need to deliberately show off his specialness, just standing casually makes him instantly become the world's leader.
The center of attention.
And when Viscount Iscolan said that the Blade Bearing Brotherhood had sent a full-time assassin, Councilor Virgil felt like he had two heads in one.
It was bigger than when I just faced the detective from the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau.
That one wants money.
This person probably wants "power".
The City of Raging Waves is already in chaos, and the Blade Bearing Brotherhood must not be allowed to get involved again.
"Viscount Iskolan!" Vergil said: "Assassins are an illegal profession in Raging Waves City, and the empire has repeatedly ordered the Blade Bearing Brotherhood to disband your assassin group.
I will not leave the security of my city to a group of assassins."
Viscount Escolan smiled and said: "It was a mistake in my wording just now. After all, I have been saying 'assassin' for so long and I haven't corrected it for a while.
The Blade Bearing Brotherhood has disbanded the Assassin Group in compliance with the laws of the Empire. The people who came this time are all members of the newly formed "Spur Blades" of our Brotherhood. I guarantee that the "Spur Blades" who come this time are very powerful and are not afraid of death.
They are all willing to sacrifice their lives for the safety of Raging Wave City..."
Virgil cursed in his mind, if he changed his name, wouldn't he be a group of professional assassins?
These old nobles just don't want to give up the privileges that the royal family gave them when the Golden Shield Empire was founded.
"Viscount Iskran, I think our Raging Waves City Government Affairs Office is capable of handling this crisis.
No help from the Blade Bearing Brotherhood is needed."
"Hahaha... I respect you." After being rejected repeatedly, Viscount Iscolan still maintained his grace: "But Raging Waves City is not just the Raging Waves City of the Government Affairs Department. As a civil society, we, the Blade-bearing Brotherhood, also have the obligation to protect
this city.
The Blade Bearing Brotherhood's 'Thorn Blades' will attack at any time when a disaster occurs, and they will also conduct routine patrols... Please do not misjudge the security personnel in various districts here and attack us."
The Blade Bearing Brotherhood has made it clear that it will seize this opportunity to forcefully invade the City of Raging Waves. Even if it cannot be formally established, it still wants to show its existence as a vigilante.
Viscount Iskran sat down elegantly, but the tense atmosphere of the meeting was not relaxed at all.
The Blade Bearing Brotherhood came to cause chaos, making Councilor Vergil unwilling to continue the meeting.
He gave the responsibility for establishing the city's crisis response agency to the City Public Security Bureau, then called on a few people to hold a small meeting, and announced the end of the city security meeting.
The officials left one after another, and Luke took Kylena and ran throughout the city government affairs building.
It was not until I got the special check book for 80 million Reichsmarks that I left the Government Affairs Office with satisfaction.
Back in the car, Kylena, who was sitting in the back seat with Luke, couldn't help telling Shelley and Pisco in front of her about the glorious moments of Inspector Meteor in the meeting.
When he heard that Luke actually asked for 80 million Reichsmarks from the Government Affairs Office, Shelley turned his head and asked: "Inspector, how will this money be divided...?"
"How to divide it!" Luke scolded: "Do you think these 80 million Reichsmarks are easy to get? From now on, the 2 million monthly city subsidy will probably not be available to us.
This money is for investment!
If you want to live a good life in the future, none of you should pay attention to this money.
Kylena...no one can use this money without my approval slip."
"Yes, Detective!" Kylena hugged the bag in her hand tightly.
"Pisco, drive!"
"Yes, Inspector!"
Pisco started the car, and the convoy of the Cape District Secret Service left the Government Affairs Office building.
In a carriage not far away, Viscount Iskran watched Luke's motorcade drive away.
Then he said to a man wearing a dark coat and a hood next to him: "The entire city of Raging Waves is filled with people from the city council. It will be very difficult for us to really get in. This person from the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau
Inspector Meteor has just taken office and has some minor conflicts with the City Government Affairs Department, so this is a goal we can strive for."
The hooded man responded in a low voice: "Secret Intelligence Bureau? They are our opponents in the Assassin Tavern! The struggle between imperial agents and our blade-wielding assassins has never stopped."
"Times have changed... We must accept the fact that times have changed! The Blade Bearing Brotherhood was established to fight against the imperial power, but now the Brotherhood is no longer an equal existence in front of the imperial power.
The Assassin's Tavern is also an unequal existence when faced with the Secret Intelligence Service.
We should not continue to simply classify the Secret Service into the ranks of our opponents. If we want to continue the glory of the nobility, the first thing we need to do is not to be eliminated by the times.
Those big shots in the Brotherhood should really come out of their manors, come to Raging Waves City, and see the outside world."
"Sir, the Brotherhood needs changes and needs leadership from people with wisdom and vision like you."
Viscount Iskran looked at the people around him with sharp eyes.
"I have no intention of fighting for power!"
"I'm sorry, sir...I said the wrong thing."
"Well... I sent someone to investigate the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau. I heard that the Haijiao District Public Security Bureau has suffered a loss from them in the past few days."
"Yes, sir."
……………………
Little did Luke know that he was already on the radar of the Blade Bearer Brotherhood.
Anyway, after this riot in the Government Affairs Office, there must be many people paying attention to him and the Cape District Secret Intelligence Bureau, and he doesn't care about one or two more.
Back in his office, Luke called all the heads of departments into his office.
And in just a short time, everyone in the secret service knew from Pisco's big mouth that the detective had received a special fund of 80 million Reichsmarks from the Government Affairs Office.
Got money!
The Cape District Secret Service has never been so generous.
Everyone's faces were beaming with joy.
Luke was also very generous and allowed Kylena to write the check on the spot.
Each department head will receive an initial salary of RMB 100,000, and ordinary agents will receive a monthly salary of RMB 20,000 plus a bonus of RMB 20,000.
Luke hand-delivered a check worth 100,000 to each supervisor and encouraged them to work hard.
After everyone happily collected the check, we started to talk about business.
The first is expansion.
At present, the Haijiao District Secret Intelligence Bureau has only about 400 full-time employees on the payroll plus temporary workers who are not on the payroll.
Excluding the lurking spies, the old, the weak, the sick, and civilian personnel, there are only dozens of people in the Einsatzgruppe who can be dragged out to fight.
When something happens, everyone must mobilize to set up the situation and set up the battle.
In the future, we need to open a stall to produce and smuggle potions, and there are obviously not enough people.
In addition, we have to hunt down Elf Clear Sky and conduct a city-wide manhunt.
The pretense also requires additional manpower.
First increase it to 2,000 temporary workers.
It just so happens that there is such a group of people at the headquarters of the Crazy Ax Party, and they have all been tested in actual combat.
Reliable, they are all members of the Yanyang smuggling group.
