Chapter 746: 744 Chapter: Exile_1

The once third-ranking member of the "Rat" faction proved to all his colleagues in District 17 why he was able to take over the Pink Lady and remain prosperous in these dark days with practical actions.

The real strong always make preparations on both fronts.

If the information about Lu Xiang’s death was true, they would seize the opportunity to make a move, allowing District 17 to return to the days controlled by gang members; if someone spread false information, they would use this rare chance to gather all the former gangs’ senior members together to discuss how to maintain long-term peace and order in District 17.

Captain Doug listened in on the gang members’ meeting, and it put him under tremendous pressure.

He had never imagined that these gang members could be so ideologically aware, even beginning to discuss the topic of jointly building a better District 17.

The meeting continued, with every gang member expressing their views on how to improve the public safety environment in District 17.

Doug walked out, his mood heavy, and lit an electronic cigarette to calm himself.

"Director, our opponents are a bit cunning."

He had never expected them to put on such a show in front of them, so much so that trying to arrest anyone seemed unjustified.

"This is a good thing."

Lu Xiang was much calmer, "It doesn’t matter what they think, what matters is what they do."

Thought education wasn’t the main job of the Law Enforcers. They only needed to ensure that those who committed crimes were caught and received their deserved punishment. If these gang members could see the error of their ways, it would actually save them a lot of effort, especially since in recent months, the Prison Warden had complained to her more than once that the prison was already full to bursting and couldn’t squeeze in any new inmates.

Their expansion proposal to Mayor Aureliano was always rejected.

Everything about the new mayor was fine, except he was poor.

So poor that even the budget for city planning had to be carefully calculated, with the funds for rebuilding the train platforms leaving him despondent for over a month.

"Wrap it up."

Lu Xiang made a hand gesture.

Her objective had been accomplished: dispel the rumors, let those former gang members know that the news of her death was just a rumor, and once again plunge them into panic, deterring them from committing crimes in District 17.

True to her reputation as the cold-blooded and ruthless Director Lu!

The members of the special action team watched Lu Xiang return to her hovering car, their eyes filled with admiration as the vehicle drifted away.

The criminals who arrogantly claimed they would restore the glory of the gangs of District 17 became docile as kittens in front of Lu Xiang, betraying the tough image suggested by their hefty builds and the deliberately exposed scars meant to signify their ruthlessness.

This was probably what they referred to online as "suppression by bloodline."

The gang members of District 17 could never raise their heads in front of Lu Xiang.

And on that very night, the Law Enforcers department of District 17 received reports from some gang members who had an epiphany, providing the names of those who spread the rumors of Lu Xiang’s death.

"I’m back late, The Keeper only passed through District 17, and have mostly escaped to ’the outside’ by now."

Lu Xiang sat on the sofa and relayed the latest message from Captain Doug to Song Lan.

"Neat... uh, I mean, good for them for scramming so quickly!"

Song Lan, who was in the midst of stirring a saucepan, paused and immediately changed his tone.

He felt that The Keeper had set a good example; by not encroaching on each other’s territory and everyone following their own path, they were doing what wise people should do.

Only Lu Xiang felt it was a pity.

She had been ready to meet The Keeper, after all, even the textbook for the Morning Star Psychic Abilities Defense course came from them; in this field, they were almost akin to legendary masters.

"It’s a pity I couldn’t send them to prison myself."

"I think your thoughts about our seniors are not very friendly,"

Song Lan commented.

Others venerated the portraits of the ancestral masters on their walls, while Lu Xiang considered sending them to jail.

Lu Xiang replied, "I treat all criminals equally."

She had always said this and had consistently applied the principle, "They are scattered across four border cities, gathering near Silvermoon Harbor, just outside the third Neutral Country. I suspect those high-level councilors may have also fled there."

"Silvermoon Harbor? Why does that sound so familiar?"

"That place is now under Kunka’s control."

With this reminder from Lu Xiang, Song Lan indeed remembered that their ally from the civil war in the third Neutral Country was now ensconced in Silvermoon Harbor, a port city originally controlled by the Barrosa Group. They had kept their promise and provided these front-line soldiers with a stronghold.

These familiar names gave him a sense of impending trouble.

"However, that is probably not their final destination; they are likely aiming to traverse the unknown seas to reach the Misty Archipelago."

Lu Xiang pulled out a map and pondered, "That’s an area even the United Government can’t reach into, and they know that with the current situation of the United Government, it’s even less likely that they’ll pursue them across unknown waters."

That was a smart choice.

Not long ago, the United Government had designated Kunka as one of the most wanted fugitives, pretty much on par with other Rebel Army leaders. Sending people to Silvermoon Harbor at this time would undoubtedly provoke a war.

"I believe in Kunka."

Song Lan finished dishing up the twice-cooked pork and said, "If it’s him, he will definitely be able to handle these issues."

"Are you close to him?"

Lu Xiang raised an eyebrow; in fact, she hadn’t even heard this name before the outbreak of the war on the frontlines.

"Not close. Never met."

"Then why do you believe in him so much?"

"Because of his name—it sounds like he’s a tough character."

Song Lan’s response left Lu Xiang momentarily silent. She gave Song Lan a rueful look, feeling she shouldn’t have expected this Dumb Bird to give a substantial explanation.

Based on her understanding of Song Lan, he was probably just tired of going on trips.

"But you can rest assured, they probably won’t cause trouble in Silvermoon Harbor; they need the Rebel Army there to shield them from the United Government’s agents who are after them. Aren’t you curious about what’s on the Misty Archipelago and why even the United Government can’t touch it?"

"Not curious."

"I think you could be, because I’m prepared to explain it to you,"

Lu Xiang crossed her arms and offered Song Lan a sincere suggestion.

"Alright, now I’m curious. What’s so special about it, and why can’t even the United Government reach the Misty Archipelago?"

Song Lan brought the meal to the table, playing along.

Yeying, drawn by the aroma and the noise, was already in place at the table ready to eat.

She was also very curious and ready to listen to the story. "Back when I was at the Church, the Archbishop also warned us not to go play in Silvermoon Harbor, let alone go out to sea on our own."

"Before explaining that, I want to ask you first—do you believe that sea monsters exist in this world?"
