"Mr. Fang Zheng!!"
When Fang Zheng and Fei left the hotel again, Chloë Segal hurriedly followed them out.
"Do you know something?"
"Um?"
"Mayor Delmon looked a little strange just now. You said these words under such circumstances. Do you know something?"
"Oh, as expected of Her Highness the Princess, you have a keen eye for observation."
Hearing what Chloë said, Fang Zheng immediately laughed, while Chloë frowned somewhat unhappily.
"Please don't tease me! You don't think that Mayor Delmon planned this..."
"Just a guess."
Of course Fang Zheng wasn't stupid enough to tell the truth, he just shrugged his shoulders.
"According to Starlight Technology's intelligence, the mayor is planning to develop a high-end villa area along the coast. I have also invested a lot of money in it. Well, to be fair, if I open a villa area specifically to serve the nobles and upper class, I don't want a dirty and dilapidated orphanage to stay right next to it - this will obviously affect the appreciation of the house price."
“How could it be…”
Hearing this, Chloë suddenly turned pale, and then she bit her lower lip.
"Can we, can we ask the guerrillas to solve this problem?"
"I'm afraid not. The reason why the Guerrilla Association can exist is because they do not have the power to enforce the law against current officials. This is also why governments allow them to exist. After all, the existence of an organization like the Guerrilla Association can easily help them cover up some of their private criminal activities."
Fang Zheng was not wrong. Governments were not fools. Although from Fang Zheng's perspective as a ruler, the Guerrilla Association severed the close ties between the country and the people, on the other hand, the existence of the Guerrilla Association also created a law enforcement gap in a country - the Guerrilla Association protected civilians, while the army was mainly responsible for maintaining national stability and public security.
In this way, as long as the guerrillas are not caught on the spot by the nobles or the upper class who commit crimes against the common people, they will be completely helpless.
On the other hand, since this was a crime committed by the nobles against civilians and was not under the jurisdiction of the army, the rulers and nobles could do whatever they wanted as long as they could get rid of the threat of the guerrillas.
This is another reason why countries tacitly allow the existence of guerrilla associations.
“…”
Chloë was no fool, and Fang Zheng's explanation was very clear. She immediately understood what he meant after listening to it.
"But...what should I do?"
"There is no way."
Fang Zheng spread his hands.
"It's just speculation. There's no evidence. We can't send the current mayor of Luan to jail just because of speculation, unless we catch him in the act. But judging from what we saw just now, with the mayor's ability, it's probably difficult for him to reveal his true colors."
"Is there really no way out?"
“It’s not that there isn’t any.”
Fang Zheng chuckled.
"Do you remember what I just said, that Starlight Technology will send someone to sign a contract with Ms. Theresa tomorrow?"
"Hmm...you didn't mean to lie to them, did you?"
"That's not the case. 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 handled by Starlight Technology. No matter how capable Mayor Luan is, he can't control what Starlight Technology does on the orphanage's territory. However, there is a way to solve this problem."
"What is the solution?"
“It’s very simple.”
Seeing Chloë staring at him curiously, Fang Zheng smiled slightly and leaned close to the princess's ear.
"As long as one of the parties to the contract does not exist."
"……Why?"
"If our Starlight Technology representatives come here tomorrow and find that Ms. Theresa was killed by an accident or a robber, what do you think will be the result?"
"No, no way!!!"
At this moment, Chloë finally became completely nervous.
"You mean Mayor Delmont and his men would kill, kill the teacher?"
"What's so strange about this? If we hadn't arrived in time last night, wouldn't Ms. Theresa and the others have been burned to death?"
“…”
Hearing this, Chloë's face turned pale. Perhaps she was unwilling to think this way before, but now that Fang Zheng reminded her of this, she immediately understood how dangerous the situation was.
"So what do we do now?"
"Anyway..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng looked around.
"Let's get out of here first."
"……Why?"
The black chariot roared out of the village and disappeared on the mountain road soon after. When the car was completely out of sight, a soldier in black armor stuck his head out of the forest outside the village, raised a telescope and looked carefully ahead, then turned his head away.
"Notify everyone else immediately. The target has left the Perth area. Everyone, get ready. We will launch the operation late at night!!"
"yes!!!"
Soon, night fell again.
When the whole village fell into a quiet slumber, several black figures quietly slipped into the village.
"Are we going to set fire to it again?"
One of the shadows asked, while the other shook his head.
"Continuous fires are too conspicuous and will easily attract the attention of the Guerrilla Association. This time we have to act like thieves breaking into an empty house and kill them to silence them. Remember, the target is only Theresa. According to intelligence, she lives in Room 203 on the second floor. Go in and take action, then evacuate immediately. Don't make any noise. Do you understand?"
"yes!!"
The hotel was already locked at night, but this was no problem for regular intruders. They soon pried open the door and slipped into the hotel and came to the second floor. The leading shadow opened the tightly closed door. Ms. Theresa was sleeping soundly. After all, she was tired all day. In order to sign a contract with the representative of Starlight Technology tomorrow, she also wanted to rest up, so she went to bed early.
The black shadow slowly walked to Teacher Theresa's bed, then raised the sharp blade in his hand and stabbed it downwards with force!
“Bang!!”
However, at this moment, a big hand suddenly grabbed the wrist of the shadow man from the depths of the dark shadow.
"Breaking into someone's house and murdering someone, well, now they're caught red-handed."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng strode out from the shadows, and the shadowy figure was also surprised to see him. You know, although their special forces are not good at direct combat, they are very good at lurking and searching.
But just now, before Fang Zheng made his move, he didn't feel that there was someone hiding there!
"Bang!!"
At the same time, there was a sound of a heavy object falling behind him. The shadow man turned around and saw that his other companion was knocked to the ground by a girl with short silver hair who appeared from nowhere.
“Run away!!”
The several shadows behind also turned around and ran hastily, but when they reached the door, they found that their way was blocked - Chlos stood coldly at the door with a rapier in her hand, staring at the shadows in front of her.
"I never thought you would actually attack the teacher. You are worse than beasts!"
Looking at the shadowy figures in front of her, Chlos bit her lips tightly, unable to speak out of anger. And those shadowy figures were not good people either. Seeing that the situation was not good, one of them hurriedly took out a cigarette holder from his arms and threw it to the ground.
"Bang!!"
Soon, accompanied by the sound of explosion, smoke quickly exploded, obscuring the girl's vision.
“Where are you running!!”
Although facing the smoke, Chlos was still not afraid. She stepped forward with a rapier in hand, quickly entangled one of the black shadows, and then knocked him to the ground without much effort. But the black shadow also delayed time. After the smoke dissipated, the remaining two people had disappeared.
"Are you okay, Chloë?"
At this moment, Fang Zheng also walked down from the second floor, looked at Chloë and asked, but Chloë shook her head.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Founder, I let them get away."
"It's okay. We have captured three prisoners."
Looking at the man in black lying unconscious in front of Chloë Seward, Fang Zheng sneered, then he looked out the window.
"The rest...just run away. They won't be able to run for long anyway."
At the same time, in the dark forest, the remaining two men in black were running desperately and quickly returned to the designated location. One of them stretched out his finger and made a sound imitating the call of birds. Soon, several men in black emerged from the bushes a moment later.
"What's going on? Where are the others?"
"There was an ambush, and we lost three men! They were captured!"
"What?!"
Hearing this, the leading man frowned.
"How can you be so careless? Let's go! Let's leave here immediately and don't let..."
“Puff!!”
However, the man did not finish his words, because at the same time, a beam of light flew silently and pierced through his head. The man widened his eyes, shook his body a few times, and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"What's going on?"
"Attack! We are under attack!!"
As they were talking, two more people were pierced through the head by the light arrows and died completely. The others took the opportunity to roll over and hide behind the thick tree trunks.
"Was it a sniper attack? Where did it come from?"
"I don't know, we can't find each other!"
"No matter what, let's get out of here first..."
"rustle……"
However, before he finished speaking, the bushes around them suddenly began to shake, and the men in black immediately tightened their weapons with nervous expressions and aimed at the bushes in front of them. They held their breath and dared not move, and the shaking of the bushes around them also stopped after a moment.
Is it the wind?
Everyone exchanged puzzled glances, but at this moment, suddenly, a dark figure appeared from the tree, and the next moment, its sharp and slender tail pierced through the chest of one of the men in black, nailing him to the tree.
“Aaaaaah!!!”
The intense pain made the man in black scream, but before he could finish his shout, he was pulled into the shade of the trees and disappeared in a moment.
"D9, what's wrong? What happened? Please answer?!"
There was no response, and the surroundings were still dead silent. But this time, the men in black seemed to have discovered that there was something hidden in the dark shadows.
"Damn it, what's going on? Could it be a monster?"
"Where can such a monster be found? Let's leave quickly!"
Soon, the other men in black gathered together and quickly ran to the periphery.
No one noticed that as they ran forward, the man in black at the back would be silently pulled to the ground, and then disappeared into the bushes without even a groan. Soon, in just a moment, the black-clad army, which originally had several people, was reduced to the last man at the head.
"Right ahead, the airship is right ahead!"
Looking at the airship parked not far away, the man in black breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back happily, and then his expression changed drastically.
Behind him, there was no one except the dark forest.
The soldiers who had followed him before had long disappeared.
“Ugh… Ughhhhhhhhh!!!”
At this moment, the intense fear completely defeated the man in black in front of him. He screamed and rushed towards the airship. At this moment, he didn't want to think about anything else. He just wanted to leave here, leave this damn place, the farther the better.
He ran desperately to the flight deck and opened the door of the control room.
The next moment, a black shadow fell from the sky and knocked him to the ground.
“Nooooooooooooooooo!!!”
The screams echoed in the airship, and after a moment, they quickly died down.
"The battle is over."
Standing on a hillside not far away, Enaya put down the "Wrath of the Stars" in her hand and smiled elegantly. Around her, several dark aliens were staring down and making terrifying hisses.
"In this way, the task assigned to me by Mr. Fang Zheng can be considered successfully completed."
