Just like that, Mayor Delmon was arrested by the Royal Guards, and then evidence of Mayor Delmon's embezzlement of the municipal budget, his order to burn down the orphanage, and the killing of Director Teresa was found in his office. He was punished for multiple crimes... He couldn't get away anyway.
So this matter has come to an end, which is cause for celebration.
However……
"I always feel like something is not quite right..."
Looking at Mayor Delmon being carried away, Chlos had a complicated expression on her face.
"What's wrong? Isn't this quite right?"
Fang Zheng seemed very calm.
"Look, Delmon has been arrested and the evidence has been found. He can't escape this time... What else is the problem?"
"But... I still think this approach is a bit weird..."
"You think too much."
Fang Zheng patted Chloë's shoulder.
"Look, although I asked you to call the Royal Guards, one of the main tasks of the Royal Guards is to protect your safety, right? And you came here to confront Delmon, and asked the Royal Guards to protect you in secret. Is it wrong? Besides, we didn't force him to do it. He could have cried and said that he was wrong and was willing to confess and repent, but he refused to repent, and he released the monsters and even used his ancient relics to kill us. These are all facts, right?"
"That's true, but..."
Chloë still looked strange.
"But I still feel like this is not right."
"You are just too demanding of yourself. It is also important to be flexible in dealing with the development of the situation. Although I can understand your reluctance to use your power to intervene in this kind of dispute, what you want to do and what you can do are two different things. Of course, we can also completely withdraw our hands. Anyway, the people who attacked Ms. Theresa have been caught by us. After signing the contract today, Starlight Technology will take over the reconstruction of the orphanage. Even if Delmon has ten guts, he will not dare to cause trouble for Starlight Technology. As long as we pretend that nothing happened, this matter will be over, right?"
“…”
"Not everything in the world is as beautiful as you think. For example, right now, we really can't get enough clues to incriminate him through formal channels. But if you don't want this matter to end in such an unclear way, you have to use some unorthodox methods... As for whether this is right or not, I suggest you go back and consult Her Majesty the Queen."
Fang Zheng certainly understood why Chloë was so conflicted. To put it bluntly, it was just her mysophobia. The princess had always set high standards for herself and had always been determined to be an upright and honest princess. However, under Fang Zheng's instigation, she was now resorting to sting enforcement. It was no surprise that Chloë was unable to come to terms with this.
But that was all Fang Zheng could say, and the rest would be left to Her Majesty the Queen to comfort her.
Of course, according to Fang Zheng, the reason why this matter turned out like this was entirely due to the difference in law enforcement authority between the Guerrilla Association and the Kingdom. If there was a police organization that was in charge of everything like the one in Fang Zheng's previous life, then they would be able to start with this matter, investigate and interrogate Mayor Delmon, and then go through the formal process to resolve the whole matter.
But what about now?
The guerrillas who were investigating the incident were not qualified to interrogate and arrest Mayor Delmon, while the police and army who were qualified to arrest and interrogate Mayor Delmon were not responsible for handling civilian incidents.
Otherwise, why would Fang Zheng do this sting operation?
Perhaps he should write a letter to Her Majesty the Queen to discuss this issue. Of course, that being said, Fang Zheng was also very clear that it would be difficult to reform, especially since there was a famous guy like Cassius Bright serving as a guerrilla fighter in the Kingdom of Liberl, which further raised the reputation of guerrilla fighters among the people.
As for the issue of severing the relationship between the people and the government, I am afraid that only a very small number of people will care and think about it, and most people don't care at all. In this case, it will be difficult for the Kingdom of Liberl to find an opportunity to suppress the Guerrilla Association.
Even a powerful country like the Erebonian Empire had to rely on secret tactics to get the Guerrilla Association to leave, so as for the Kingdom of Liberl... there was probably no hope at all.
Chloë followed the Royal Guards back to the palace. Not only did she want to watch the interrogation of Mayor Delmon, she also planned to go back and complain to her grandmother about the Intelligence Department. They almost killed someone, but they got away with it by saying it was a mistake. Chloë could never forgive that. Fang Zheng asked Chloë to help him bring a letter to Her Majesty the Queen, talking about the current political system of the kingdom from the incident of Mayor Delmon. Of course, he knew that a letter could not change anything, but at least it could make his position clear.
Many times, it is very important to take a stand.
After that, Fang Zheng also returned to Chase and continued his peaceful and leisurely life. For him, the current focus is still on the construction of the Starlight Tower and the network construction of Starlight Entertainment Cities in various places. At present, in Liberl, Starlight Technology's network has been built, and its business expansion in the Republic and the Empire is also going smoothly - after all, indoor electronic entertainment halls are really eye-catching, and in addition, Starlight Technology is the only one in the entire Semlia continent that can use chips to manufacture electronic game consoles, so other organizations can't copy them even if they want to.
If they dared to go back to the Republic and the Imperial Government to ask for chips to manufacture video game consoles, they would probably be slapped to death by the President and the Emperor.
Because of this, without any competitors, Starlight Technology's business expansion in various countries has been advancing rapidly. Not to mention Fangzheng's unique franchise system, which means that Starlight Technology will not compete with local forces at all. If they are willing, Starlight Technology can completely provide equipment for them to do it themselves. In order to obtain the exclusive authorization of Starlight Technology, local organizations and consortiums have also taken action... Well, although this is a bit disadvantageous to Starlight Technology from a business perspective, for Fangzheng, the god of games, someone paying you to build a game network is a rare opportunity, and you can't wait.
And you don’t have to worry about managing it.
At this moment, Fang Zheng, who was immersed in the expansion of the gaming network and feeling the gaming power from all over the world, did not know that two guests were approaching not far away.
"Wow, if we just go through this tunnel, we'll be in Chase."
Walking in the Caludia Tunnel, Estelle waved her stick excitedly.
"Once we get to Chase, we can go to the Starlight Technology headquarters!"
"Okay, okay, calm down, Estelle."
Seeing the impatient look of the girl beside him, the black-haired boy Joshua beside her also smiled helplessly and shook his head. He and Estelle had lived together for a long time, so he naturally knew that one of Estelle's hobbies was playing video games, especially Dance Dance Revolution, which was Estelle's favorite.
In fact, when traveling around the kingdom as a quasi-guerrilla, Estell vowed to dominate the dance machine charts of all electronic entertainment cities in Liberl. Now they are going to Chase, which is the headquarters of Starlight Technology. For Estell, it is natural that she is more looking forward to and excited.
"How can I be calm? Mr. Fang Zheng said that there will be new games at the Starlight Technology Headquarters. Woohoo, I can't wait..."
"It doesn't matter if you're excited, but don't forget the mission your father entrusted you with."
"I can't forget it."
Estelle reached her hands into her arms.
"I have always given to us what our father gave us..."
“…”
"Did you lose it?"
Seeing Estelle standing there in a daze, Joshua was also shocked. Before coming to Chase, they had received a mysterious object from their father through the Guerrilla Association. It was said to be for Dr. R in Chase. For the two of them, this object was very important!
"Hey! It's over here."
Seeing Joshua's apprehensive look, Estell smiled and stretched out her hand, holding up a small, black, strange instrument.
"Look, it's intact!"
"Phew...I was almost scared to death."
Looking at Estelle showing off proudly in front of him, Joshua also broke out in a cold sweat.
However, at this moment, suddenly, a girl's voice came from the front of the tunnel.
“Hahahaha… No, it has to be faster!”
Hearing this voice, the two looked up and saw a blonde girl wearing a red hat and strange clothes jogging towards them from the other end of the tunnel. Behind her, there were two people following.
Seeing Joshua and Estelle, the girls also stopped hurriedly.
Joshua also greeted the three of them.
"Hey, hello."
"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious?"
Looking at the blonde girl in the front wearing a red hat and goggles, Estell asked curiously. Hearing Estell's question, the blonde girl also spoke hurriedly.
"Ah, hello, may I ask...sister, did you come here through this tunnel?"
"Uh, yeah, what's wrong?"
Hearing Estell's answer, the blonde girl breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked again.
"Well, did you see any lights that were turned off along the way? They were lights installed on the walls of the tunnel..."
This time, Joshua thought for a moment and then answered.
"Although I haven't seen any lights turned off, there is a light across the river that doesn't seem to be very bright."
"That's it!"
Hearing Joshua's answer, the blonde girl's expression suddenly changed.
"Sure enough, it's just as I thought. Sorry, I have to leave right away!"
As she spoke, the blonde girl quickly passed the two people and ran forward.
"Really, Tida, why are you running? Didn't I tell you that the Orion Light won't grow legs and run away by itself?"
At this moment, another girl following the blonde girl also complained helplessly. She had purple shoulder-length hair tied with a big ribbon, wearing a white dress, and holding a black rabbit doll in her hand. She looked like the daughter of a wealthy businessman. The purple-haired girl also complained as she followed. When she passed by the two, she smiled at Estelle and Joshua, lifted her skirt and saluted.
"Thank you, big brother and big sister. We still have something to do, so we'll leave first."
After saying that, the purple-haired girl followed the blonde girl and ran forward.
“…”
Then, another girl wearing a black cloak and long aqua blue hair came over silently. She held a strangely shaped staff in her hand and wore decorations that looked like cat ears on her head. The blue-haired girl nodded to the two of them and followed them.
Soon, the three girls disappeared into the tunnel.
"They must be Chase's children, they look really interesting, but I don't know what they are going to do in such a hurry."
Looking at the backs of the three girls, Joshua couldn't help but speak. And Estelle stared at the tunnel with some uneasiness.
"Oh... I'm a little worried. After all, there are many roaming monsters in this tunnel. Joshua, shall we go over and take a look?"
"I knew you would say that."
Hearing what Estel said, Joshua also looked at her with a smile on his face.
"Indeed, it's too dangerous to let three little girls walk in a place like this. It's better to catch up and take a look."
"Well, let's go."
Hearing this, Estell nodded vigorously, and then the two of them turned around and ran back the way they came.
