Chapter 629: Chapter 629: District 17 Sends Its Regards_1

The news of Mendoza Morgue’s death in the Seventeenth District was not kept secret for long; the head of the Morger Family, driven to madness by the loss of his second son in the district, urgently summoned back the family’s core members from the "outside world," seemingly ready to wage war on the Seventeenth District.

Since the Third War, the Morger Family had never suffered such a blow.

Even the Review Meeting had to convene an emergency session. Not surprisingly, the head of the Morger Family refused to attend the meeting. With the main party absent, the meeting intended to persuade the Morgers turned into a monodrama of council members who could only symbolically discuss the disappearance of the Sea-Land Energy Company building.

More than one person captured the process of the building’s annihilation.

Even the United Government’s researchers of psychic abilities were at a loss to determine what kind of power was responsible.

An outbreak of a civil war at this critical juncture, especially against the complicated situation of the Seventeenth District, was undoubtedly the height of foolishness.

The issue with the Void was still unresolved; who knew what kind of monstrosity the war might drag out.

"The Morger Family has gone insane; it was proven the moment Mendoza decided to go to the Seventeenth District,"

Qi He shrugged his shoulders in the meeting, adopting an attitude of detached amusement.

The Morger Family’s rabid behavior had earned them fear in the core regions, but now it also seemed destined to plunge them into an abyss from which there was no return.

There was a reason both the Conservative Faction and the Innovator Faction were reluctant to deal with the hot potato that was the Seventeenth District.

But for the Ragus Foundation and himself, this was great news. The power struggle between the Innovators and Conservatives was at its peak, each side vying for support from the Centralists, while the Morger Family acted like a stone in a cesspool, not giving a damn about anyone.

It was now 2167, yet they still followed the old-school gangster ways from before the Third War.

"This could well be an opportunity for us."

The speaker was the current head of the Iris Consortium. The recent matter with his granddaughter, Isabella, had visibly aged the old man, "We can use this chance to gauge the depths of the Seventeenth District, especially with regard to the relationship between the Void and Lu Xiang, Mayor Aureliano, and the district itself."

"But you need to consider the possible outcomes of this action. Don’t forget, not so long ago, the Seventeenth District produced a rebel leader with a multimillion bounty on his head. If I’m not mistaken, he goes by the name Kunka, right?"

As was customary, the Conservative Faction and the Innovator Faction once again engaged in a heated debate over an issue during the meeting.

Qi He sat in the front row, leisurely supporting his chin with his left hand, while his right hand on the table began counting, "The Foster Family withdrew from the Seventeenth District, the local crime syndicate’s boss died under mysterious circumstances with no clues found; an Esinvig Army officer escaped from a district prison, the department’s most promising candidate for a promotion to headquarters this year went AWOL after a misconduct; then came the ’Rat,’ a criminal with a bounty of over ten million, and in the following months, his price tripled; oh, and me, I almost forgot, there’s also a Four Star rescuer who died in the Seventeenth District by falling from a building."

All these events took place within a few short months.

Qi He paused, then added, "I think the Iris Consortium probably hasn’t figured out the pattern yet—anyone who opposes the Seventeenth District doesn’t end up well. Mendoza-Morger has already proved this point concretely. If we let the Morger Family go to war with the Seventeenth District, there might be a big question mark over whether the area still belongs to the United Government after the war is over."

"High and mighty—what you’re really worried about is seeing your investments in the Seventeenth District go down the drain."

"Stop arguing."

The Chairperson of the Council intervened to stop the crossfire during the meeting.

This scene felt familiar; they had already had a verbal clash over the expeditionary force’s roster issue.

The direct consequence of their impasse was a complete failure of the expedition, rising doubts in various cities, and indirectly, the rise of a new rebel leader.

"There is no need for this meeting to continue any longer."

At these words, the council members erupted into an uproar.

The Chairperson of the Council’s expression was grim as he signaled the staff to switch on the holographic projection, which displayed the Third District, a stronghold of the Morger Family’s main forces.

It was deep into the night.

All the family members were reveling in a pre-war frenzy, their private army having grown unprecedentedly mighty after the Third War. However, since they had eliminated all opposing forces from the "outside world," there had been no opportunity to deploy their amassed troops.

In the "outside world," even the Rebel Army dared not provoke them lightly.

The current patriarch of the Morger Family sat contentedly in a vehicle surveying the arsenal that could level the surface of the Seventeen District several times over.

Soon after, a breeze began to rise in the square.

The evening wind caressed the hem of people’s clothes and also brushed across the neck of the seated Morger Family patriarch.

Then, as the breeze gently stroked, the patriarch’s head, still wearing a smile, softly separated from his neck and rolled onto the ground.

It was quite some time later when panicked cries finally erupted from the military camp.

That’s where the holographic image ended.

With a solemn expression, the Chairperson of the Council announced the news he had received not long ago, "The current patriarch of the Morger Family and 27 core members he had urgently summoned have all been found dead this morning."

All had been decapitated with a single cut.

The move was so swift and clean that even their security personnel had not noticed the Assassin’s arrival.

"According to the autopsy report, their heads were severed with a longsword, a very rare weapon."

With the addition of this ghost-like figure, almost every council member’s mind conjured the same name.

Fengling.

Rescuer candidate from Six Stars.

After Wild Bone’s operating system within the brain had been confirmed lost, many had recommended her to take Wild Bone’s place.

But not long before, Fengling had been confirmed dead.

Before her death, she had gone to the Seventeen District on her own accord.

This information was provided by Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical.

All the council members’ gazes coincidentally turned toward the representative from Cloud Biological Pharmaceutical, unable to understand why a Six Star rescuer, already confirmed dead, would suddenly appear in the Morger Family’s military camp and assassinate all of the core members, including the patriarch.

This silent method of killing sent chills down the spines of council members as well.

And once again, reality had proven the rule summarized by Qi He—anyone who opposed the Seventeen District met with a bad end.

But now, a new issue emerged.

Compared to the notorious Morger Family, the methods of the Seventeen District seemed to be even colder and more extreme.
