Enforcer Manual
Chapter 126: From the "Outside World"_1

"I have."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiang’s expression visibly changed.

Back in the Seventh District, she had heard of the name Esinvig - in their textbooks describing the "outside" situation, according to the textbook’s description, Esinvig was a thorough tyrant. He earned this title because, after leading the Rebel Army to occupy a neutral city, he ordered the massacre of the city’s residents.

Undoubtedly, Esinvig is the most notorious criminal. The bounty on his head has even exceeded the value of the bounty itself. Apart from the nine-digit bounty, the United Government also declared that anyone who kills Esinvig will directly be awarded the Level Five Rescuer Medal by the United Government.

Under such incomparable temptation, countless rescuers go out into the world every year, attempting to take the head of this tyrant. However, all assassination attempts ultimately end in failure without exception.

"Is the war you are referring to related to him?"

"Witch of the Snow Aishi is one of the officers in Esinvig’s army."

Now that the person has already escaped, Gao Yuan no longer needs to hide Aishi’s identity, "However, based on his actions, after the war is over, he may personally visit the Seventeenth District. According to the information obtained by Tesla Tech’s ’outside’ intelligence station, Esinvig is leading his troops to attack the Twelfth Nation."

Of course, in the eyes of the Rebel Army, this is a vigorous liberation movement.

"By the way, where is the Twelfth Nation?"

To keep up with the pace of their conversation, Song Lan asked quietly in Lu Xiang’s ear while Gao Yuan was walking towards the window of the banquet hall, overlooking the night view of the entire Seventeenth District.

"In the ’outside’, there are thirteen legal governments recognized by the United Government. The Twelfth Nation is our nickname for them, and the one closest to the Seventeenth District is the Twelfth Nation, whose capital is the trade center of the ’outside’."

When Gao Yuan mentioned the war between Esinvig and the Twelfth Nation, Lu Xiang immediately understood why the United Government chose this moment to make a move against one of the leaders of the Esinvig Army. They probably saw the opportunity in Esinvig’s inability to divide his troops, and transported Aishi to the First Region. By the time the Rebel Army reacted, the person had already been sent there.

However, this supposedly foolproof secret transportation went awry due to Pero’s personal decision.

She can imagine how infuriated the Review Meeting would be about this. No wonder Pero, who was once an elite of the "outside" action department, had become a major felon wanted by the United Government just one day after the prison riot in the outskirts.

"Another piece of bad news is that the war situation in the Twelfth Nation is not good, the outer cities have almost all been controlled by the Rebel Army, and it’s only a matter of time before the Rebel Army invades the capital."

The Review Meeting called for an emergency meeting on whether to support the Twelfth Nation, and by one vote, rejected the proposal to send troops.

The conservative faction believes that now is not the time to go to war with the entire Rebel Army. Once the United Government deploys troops, it is very likely to draw other Rebel Army leaders over, and the scale of the war would inevitably expand several levels.

The Foster Family is one of the conservative factions. They have long been controlling the border cities, where their dark businesses that can’t see the light of day are all located. If a war breaks out, the losses it would bring to them would be countless.

"Perhaps one day when the Rebel Army invades, the equipment we provide for you can buy some time."

Gao Yuan’s words carried a hidden meaning.

They all knew that such military equipment could be used against local criminal groups, but if Esinvig’s troops were to really besiege the city, the Seventeenth District would only be left with the path of "liberation".

The key was what valuable information Tesla Tech could acquire from this.

At that time, the data uploaded by these arms will provide the answers.

"However, since it’s an investment, we need to check the quality of the investment object." Gao Yuan’s tone changed, "In three days, an important person will pass through the Seventeenth District, she needs to stay in the Seventeenth District for a while, we sincerely hope that during that time, there won’t be any major security issues in the city."

"We’ll be careful."

Lu Xiang nodded.

"I hope we can have a good cooperation."

........................

When they left the Tesla Tech building, it was completely dark outside.

Lu Xiang and Song Lan got onto the hover car one after the other.

"This cooperation seems difficult to secure."

When the car door closed and the hover car drove into the night sky, Song Lan spoke up.

Just thinking about it, the two days of that "important person" staying in the Seventeenth District will definitely not be peaceful, maybe it will bring in some serious enemies from the "outside".

"I know."

Lu Xiang’s face was pale, as if the matter of Esinvig had affected her.

"Don’t be so tense, if the cooperation falls through, we can always find someone else."

Song Lan reassured her.

Damn Tesla Tech, all this talk of war making the atmosphere so tense. Actually, thinking about it, what does the safety of that important person have to do with them?

In his view, they should just play it by ear then.

"If the opponent is a small fry with no power, then we should strike hard, make a good performance in terms of cooperation. But if it’s a bit painful to deal with, then sell when it’s time to sell, pull out when it’s time to pull out. They expect us to risk our lives for these supplies, do they think this is our first day on the job?"

One of the benefits of having his identity known by Lu Xiang is that he doesn’t have to hide his ideas anymore.

"But..."

Lu Xiang stared straight at Song Lan, "Why does your tone sound like... a street thug?"

She felt that after that afternoon, Song Lan’s way of speaking in front of her had become much more arrogant.

Could it be, this is actually his true nature?

"I’m trying to comfort you, aren’t I? You don’t need to be so stressed, if it’s not this one, there’s always the next one."

Regarding this, Song Lan has always maintained an open mentality. He thinks this is just like finding a job, there’s absolutely no need to hang on one tree, and there’s definitely no need to risk their lives for the big companies.

The current head of Tesla Tech is the chairman of the councilors of the United Government, who knows if these big companies will retaliate against them because of the previous media event.

If they are dazzled by small profits, they will fall into the other side’s trap.

"Comfort me?"

Lu Xiang was taken aback and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I’m not worrying about this."

"Don’t pretend to be strong in front of me, just look at your face, you’re all pale."

"That’s because it’s too salty!"

Lu Xiang’s face turned even paler, and Song Lan saw a pitiful look on her face for the first time, "My tongue is numb!"
