Clough was very cooperative, and Yang Cheng didn't make any demands, so he simply got up and took his leave.
After Yang Cheng left, Clough stared at Yang Cheng's retreating figure with a deep gaze, lost in thought.
Ulysses, standing to the side, asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, should we really place all our hopes on him?"
I investigated this person's background. Although he is a Witcher, the Witcher Guild has no records of him.
"A guy with such a mysterious background, are we really going to place all our hopes on him?"
A hint of something unreadable flickered in Clough's eyes, but his tone remained calm, showing none of the helplessness he had displayed as a distant emperor just moments before.
"Besides him, do we have any other options?"
Even if he is a member of the evil god's clan, or even if he is a representative of some mysterious being, it doesn't matter.
All I want is for those charlatans to die!
The God of Light? Ha! How laughable!
The Great Old Ones and Outer Gods were kept out of the world, so wasn't he, the only true god in this world, also kept out of the world?
Do they really think we're just a bunch of stupid idiots?
After leaving the palace, Yang Cheng glanced behind him and left without looking back.
Clough was definitely not telling the truth; he must have had other plans, but none of that matters.
The Spear of Longinus is real; that's enough for Yang Cheng to know.
Clough's transfer order came quickly.
The next day, Grace was quickly transferred to the position of police chief of the Central District, and Hughes and other police officers from the West District were also transferred to the Central District.
That wasn't all. Clough also transferred the elites from several other districts to Grace's command in the central district, removing all the guys who had been coasting along and had risen through connections in the original central district.
It's quite obvious that if Clough wanted to reform the atmosphere in St. Brand, it would be very simple; after all, he was the king, and his word was law.
Previously, Clough was simply unwilling to deal with it, after all, the various departments were intertwined, and he didn't want to offend a bunch of nobles.
But now, in order to support Yang Cheng in suppressing the Holy See, Clough is clearly willing to break these unspoken rules.
Yang Cheng arrived at the Central District Police Station, where the environment and the various weapons and equipment were completely different from those of the Western District Police Station.
Hughes, Lenser, and other police officers from the West End were still incredibly excited, looking left and right as if they couldn't believe they were actually in the Central District.
"How does it feel compared to the West District?"
Yang Cheng asked with a smile.
"Mr. Yang!"
Upon seeing Yang Cheng arrive, Hughes' face immediately lit up with a smile. But after thinking for a while, he simply scratched his head and said, "The food here is really good, and it's served four times a day. The guys on the night shift even get a midnight snack."
"Eat, eat, eat! All you ever do is eat!"
Grace tapped Lenser's head and said, "Instead of wasting time, why don't you hurry up and familiarize yourself with all the equipment? This isn't the West End, where you can handle everything with just a revolver!"
Turning to Yang Cheng, Grace said, "These kids are so ignorant. They got a little excited on the first day. Mr. Yang, please don't mind."
"And I must thank Mr. Yang for speaking well of me to His Majesty; otherwise, I would never have become the chief of the Central District Police Station in my lifetime."
Grace had spent a long time in the central district, so he wasn't as surprised as Hughes and the others, but he was still very grateful to Yang Cheng.
Given his background and personality, he would eventually retire as the chief of the Western District Police Station; he never imagined he could advance any further.
Yang Cheng said, "Director Grace, you don't need to be so polite. You got this position because of your own abilities."
Even if I recommended you, His Majesty would still need to verify it. The fact that you are sitting here proves that His Majesty has no doubt about your abilities.
"By the way, His Majesty must have told you about that matter, right?"
Grace's eyes showed a hint of seriousness. After pulling Yang Cheng into his office, he said in a deep voice, "Before I took office, His Majesty specifically summoned me to the palace and told me that I must follow Mr. Yang's instructions in everything."
Yang Cheng said, "Then you should know what His Majesty wants to do. He wants to deal with the Holy See and restrict divine authority. In short, he wants to go to war with the Holy See."
You should be clear about the consequences of this kind of thing. If anything changes, you could end up on the cross.
In short, it's not too late to regret it now; I will go and explain to His Majesty.
Grace shook her head and said, "Officially, this is His Majesty's order, and I must obey it."
Personally, Mr. Yang, since you chose me, I, Grace, will not back down, just like how you, as our police station's consultant, never hesitated when faced with cases.
Honestly, I'm also very angry about the Holy See. What they did was even worse than the criminals in the dungeon!
As she said this, a hint of resentment flashed in Grace's eyes, as if she had suffered a lot of losses at the hands of the Church of Light.
"You've had dealings with the Holy See? Putting aside their various struggles with the royal family, what is the true nature of the Holy See, good or bad, for most ordinary people?"
Grace said in a deep voice, "The Church of Light was actually very popular among the common people at the beginning."
They had churches in every city of the Assyrian kingdom, and every week they would give food to the poor. All you had to do was listen quietly to them preach the scriptures for half an hour.
The Night Watch has a very good reputation throughout the continent. Whenever someone encounters an extraordinary event, they go to the Night Watch, and the Night Watch will do everything in their power to resolve it.
