Chapter 142 A Peaceful and Tranquil Life

The UN has withdrawn from Yokohama, and this time it's a real withdrawal.

They also needed to find a place to perform surgery on Shelley. Although Shelley was very resilient, basic surgical equipment was still necessary, and Yokohama, which had just been thrown into chaos, was not a good choice.

So UN left without hesitation, leaving Yokohama in chaos, and went off to cause trouble elsewhere.

This encirclement and suppression failed, so for a long time, as long as the UN doesn't do anything too outrageous, it won't have time to deal with them, so the UN can relax a little.

However, no sooner had the UN and the Joint Major Crimes Unit left than the group, which had been observing the situation, quietly emerged, ready to take advantage of the chaos.

However, perhaps because Yokohama was under martial law after a large part of the city had just been bombed, the Armed Detective Agency, the Port Mafia, and the Special Abilities Division immediately cooperated when they discovered the group's actions, and Fitzgerald almost capsized in the gutter.

It was almost true, because Fitzgerald later received information that the book's original body had long been trapped in another dimension by the "Mermaid Princess," and the only remaining page of the "book" had been stolen by an organization called the Five Signs of Decay.

Fitzgerald: You should have said so earlier! Why would I have wasted my time on the tiger-man?

Roland, the well-meaning intelligence provider who wishes to remain anonymous: (smiling emoji)

Fitzgerald turned around and went to cause trouble for the House of the Dead and the Decay of the Celestials, showing no lingering affection for the Armed Detective Agency and the Port Mafia, which had already lost their value.

In terms of strategy, Fitzgerald and his group were indeed no match for the Witcher, but he also had his own strengths.

He's rich, really rich.

The group openly declared that they would buy out all business dealings with the Five Signs of Decay and the House of the Dead at five times the price. This included ammunition, bombs, poison, melee weapons, and even a box of toothpicks – they would buy them at five times the price, or even ten times if necessary.

At the same time, a high reward is offered for all information regarding the five signs of decay in the celestial beings, with a minimum reward of one billion for each person killed, regardless of whether they live or die.

Fitzgerald could pull out seven billion dollars for just a legendary key, "Man-Tiger." Given that he already knew about the book and the signs of decay, how could Fitzgerald be stingy?

The House of the Dead and the Five Signs of Decay only number eight. Although there are also the Demon and Kamui, there can't be only those two strong people in the world.

There are countless people who want to earn billions.

If the government can send so many people to arrest the UN at its own expense, and Fitzgerald adds some funds to the special serious crimes unit, then the days of the five signs of decay will become more and more difficult.

First of all, there is no supplies. The first reaction of anyone who gets involved with the Five Signs of Decay is definitely not to take the opportunity to sell things to the Five Signs of Decay at a high price to make a fortune, but to sell the whereabouts of the Five Signs of Decay to the group.

Even selling the item to the Five Signs of Decay at ten times the price wouldn't be as profitable as a single piece of information from a combined team! Only a fool wouldn't make money like that.

Even if they occasionally manage to buy something, it's just that Tuosi has seen through their scheme of trying to double-cross someone who was trying to make money from both sides.

However, these few instances of double-crossing only strengthened the resolve of others to only buy a single combination of intelligence.

The five signs of decay in the celestial beings put them in a very passive position for a time.

As for the idea of ​​staying out of the public eye and waging a war of attrition?

Fitzgerald: Sorry, but the money I spent on buying the intelligence was already recouped by the time it reached me.

Eight people, just eight people. Even if they offer a huge reward for all the information, even if what they eat and what color clothes they wear every day is leaked, do they really think they can drain the coffers of a capitalist empire?

That intelligence fee wouldn't even be enough to exhaust the daily cash flow!

Driven by the group's leadership, everyone embarked on a vigorous campaign to eliminate organized crime.

As for the final ownership of the storytelling, if Fitzgerald's goal is merely to revive his daughter, he wouldn't mind letting him use it for a while, but it must be returned afterward.

Writing a story to bring a person to life would at most consume a page of paper, which is a manageable expense. Collecting some data would then be used as an experiment.

Most people have at least a few legendary books like the Dead Sea Scrolls, Peach Blossom Spring, Ideal Land, Dream Pen, and City of Utopia. Having more books is always better, but having fewer won't kill you.

A book requires sound logic to be effective... I'm sure everyone remembers how Edgar Allan Poe's supernatural abilities were activated.

The group itself has experts, so there's no need for others to worry about that. They can even send people to write stories for free (while keeping an eye on whether only one person has been resurrected).

For a time, everyone was at peace (except for the five signs of decay).
