Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Drug Lord_1

That night, in the office of the regional director of the coastal energy subsidiary.

A middle-aged man in his forties sat anxiously in front of his desk. It had been an indeterminable time before the mobile phone on the table finally rang.

The man almost lunged for the phone, answering the call the moment it came through.

"Our people have been captured."

Upon hearing the voice on the other end of the call, the man immediately began to report the recent events in District 17.

The last they had heard from their operatives, they were planning to replace the head of the Law Enforcers department in District 17 with one of their own, turning this key position to their advantage. His office was filled with information on Lu Xiang, and he was always ready to discard his current identity and take Lu Xiang’s place.

In District 17, the head of the Law Enforcers department was far more useful than a regional director of an energy company.

But after initiating their action, they vanished into thin air.

"I suspect that our opponents this time are not the Law Enforcers."

The man hesitated before speaking, "But I don’t understand why you suddenly changed the plan to eliminate this person named Song Lan."

Their original target was merely to rob Southeast Bank, and the operation was proceeding very smoothly. By the time the company had reacted, the money had already been transferred to their accounts. According to their initial plan, they should have reintegrated into human society and lain low, waiting for the next order.

But on the day of the bank robbery, his superior changed the plan at the last minute.

"If there’s something you need to know, I will tell you directly. Since I haven’t told you, it means you don’t need to know these things."

"Then what should I do next? We are almost out of operatives in District 17."

"I know, and you will be exposed soon."

"I don’t understand, I haven’t left any flaws."

"They will take you out, but before they do, you can make one last contribution to the clan—submit a personal protection clause to the company’s headquarters. We’ll find a way to help you pass this clause."

"I understand."

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

δ was highly efficient at her job. The next morning, she relayed the information she had gathered to Song Lan.

The regional director of the coastal energy company.

A middle-aged man named Ferren Morger.

When Lu Xiang heard this name, her face instantly turned somewhat unsightly.

"Ferren Morger, what kind of background does he have?"

Song Lan noticed the change in Lu Xiang’s expression and asked curiously.

"He’s from the Morger Family... this complicates things."

"The Morger Family? Are they famous?"

"Ordinary people might not have heard of them, but in the core cities, even companies, Foster, and the Iris Consortium do not want to offend them. They are one of the few radically Centralist factions."

The Morger Family’s approach to neutrality was out of step with most Centralists.

They always adhered to a spirit of fierce revenge, biting back at anyone who offended them, whether it was a company or a major family. This was why many people in the core city privately referred to the Morger Family as a pack of mad dogs.

People of status have always avoided tangling with mad dogs.

"When I was still in school, there was a live exercise to protect an informant who had offended the Morger Family, to extradite him to the core city from outside. To take revenge, the Morger Family nearly razed the entire city, and their assassins followed us all the way into the United Government territory."

In the midst of speaking, Lu Xiang unconsciously covered her left arm.

This detail did not escape Song Lan’s notice, and he frowned, "Were you injured at that time?"

"It wasn’t serious."

Lu Xiang shook her head, "The point is, once they are offended, they would consider companies, families, and even the outlying troops of the United Government as targets."

At the time, she thought the Morger Family must have gone insane, attacking the external troops over a trivial informant. However, what happened later again exceeded her expectations.

Despite the perilous journey, their squad finally managed to hand over the informant to the Counter-Intelligence Department at great cost. But the day after the informant was returned to the intelligence department, he was brutally dismembered in his own cell, and the attack on the government’s external troops was never mentioned again.

"After returning to school, I did some private research on them. It is said that before the third war, they started by trafficking banned drugs, had their own private armed forces locally, and then they whitewashed most of their businesses through the war. They also caught up with the times, forming companies. Their company’s official business is supposedly ’external’ new energy companies, but behind the scenes, they are currently the largest banned drug conglomerate."

Perhaps due to their origins with the warlords, the Morger Family has maintained a strong sense of "family consciousness" to this day.

If any core member of the family is offended, they strike back with craziness beyond the ordinary person’s imagination.

"Old Lu, do you know what I am thinking?"

"What?"

"I’m reminded of those Mob bosses I used to hear people telling stories about when I was young. I couldn’t figure out if they were true or not, but they scared me enough that I was afraid of the mobsters coming after me on my way home."

"What I’m saying is all true. Ferren Morger is trouble. Being the regional director of the coastal energy company means that all the illegal drug dealings going out of District 17 pass through him. He is definitely one of the core members of the Morger Family."

With this, they had no choice but to consider altering their plan.

They had initially planned to directly kidnap δ’s target, but if Ferren Morger disappeared in District 17, the Morger Family would likely turn the city upside down.

"Wait a second, so Ferren Morger is a drug trafficker?"

"To be precise, every drug trafficker in District 17 and on the border trade routes has to act according to his rules."

"This isn’t like your style, Old Lu."

"My style?"

"I hadn’t heard of this person in District 17 before. Since he’s been involved in so many crimes, isn’t there a good reason to invite him to the station for a talk?"

"Are you serious? You want to invite Ferren Morger for tea at the station?"

Lu Xiang was somewhat bewildered; she always felt that she and Song Lan had switched roles.

In the past, it was always her decision to invite someone to the station for tea, while Song Lan always played the role of the peacemaker, advising her to avoid extra trouble.

"Didn’t you say the Morger Family wouldn’t let off anyone who offended them? What do you think they would do if they found out a core member of their family had already been taken out by the Worms?"
