Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Never Oppose the Battle Nation _1

Lu Xiang knew that for the mayor of Lyon City, this was a dilemma.

Either bow out of politics and undertake a month-long recovery program, or continue to abuse Mescaline IV and become a puppet satisfactory to the shadowy Black Hand.

She did not rush the mayor of Lyon to make a decision immediately; she had other matters to attend to.

Thanks to the intelligence Song Lan heard while cycling, she had uncovered the surprise attack plan the "Mouse" was brewing.

A hacker, two gunmen, a Bombardier, and an expert skilled in the use of chemical gases.

The "Mouse" was recruiting these talents.

Lu Xiang briefly put these people together in her mind, visualizing a small squad bypassing security personnel to storm the venue.

After the hacker takes over the network control within the venue and provides visual information for the others, they would circumvent most patrolling law enforcers. Inevitable conflicts would be solved by using chemical gas to anesthetize enemies in front. Ultimately, the Bombardier would blast open the venue door, taking everyone hostage in one fell swoop.

To successfully execute this plan, they would have to bypass the security at the front door and open space of the venue, finding a way to infiltrate the interiors.

The underground sewage system.

After studying the venue’s blueprint, Lu Xiang identified this perfect assault spot.

"Director Lu, something’s gone awry outside!"

As she was deep in thought, Doug, who was in charge of the on-site security, hurried into the meeting room, "Theres a large group of protesting citizens at the venue’s front door!"

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

The echoing chants of the protestors could be heard from afar, even the chorus of tipsy colleagues had received urgent orders to rush to the entrance to maintain order.

The theme of these protests remained the same, to save the employment rate in the 17th District, and the mayor was chastised as a fraud.

In all fairness, they weren’t entirely wrong.

During the mayor’s term, the unemployment rate in the 17th District showed no signs of improvement. Before the fall of the Chai Ke Group, the crime rate soared high and included thefts, robberies; more than what the law enforcers could handle, and minor crimes just had to wait.

The main issue was the lack of manpower, which arose as all department issues piled on the law enforcers.

If not for their official duties, Song Lan felt that many of his colleagues probably would’ve joined the protestors and chanted slogans with them.

However, the situation was probably not as simple as it seemed.

The timing of the protest was much too coincidental. When Song Lan saw two people dressed in cleaning clothes exit the main entrance, he understood everything.

The protest at the front door was meant to attract all the security personnel from the green belt to the front door, leaving a gap in the rear.

Those two who were wearing masks and dressed as cleaners were headed straight for the exit of the underground sewage system after glancing at the commotion at the front door.

Was this the "Mouse" he knew?

Not only did they abandon their plan to storm from the front door, but they also improved upon it by volleying the attention of most security personnel using the protesting citizens. It was, in essence, an age-old tactic of misdirection executed to perfection.

Moreover, they had improved their strategy by arranging for someone to pick them up from the sewage exit, avoiding the awkward scenario of their faces meeting with a security patrol.

For some reason, Song Lan suddenly felt like a parent watching his child grow up.

His heart pounded as he watched the backs of the two cleaners approaching the sewage exit.

This was far more thrilling and nerve-wracking than infiltrating the venue himself.

This time, even Lady Luck seemed to have sided with the "Mouse", as the centralized security was drawn to the front door by the protest, leaving the back of the venue nearly defenseless.

Just as Song Lan was about to applaud the imminent success of the cleaners, a familiar figure entered his line of sight.

Valerian, who had just hidden several crates of spirits in the cool shade of the greenbelt, was now carrying a half-empty bottle of Vodka, and was walking right into the cleaners.

The surprise was apparent on both sides when they encountered each other.

Valerian then took out her tablet and typed something in front of the two cleaners.

Calm down!

Just pretend to be ordinary cleaners and you’ll get through!

Song Lan saw the unexpected situation and immediately stood up from his sun lounger.

Just as he was considering whether to call for outside help to aid the two, a devastating scene still unfolded.

The two cleaners, unable to remain calm, seemed to think that Valerian couldn’t speak after seeing the words on the tablet.

Immediately they got a boost of courage. As they brushed past Valerian, one cleaner attacked from behind in an embrace restricting Valerian’s arms, while the other, in tacit understanding, drew out a taser from his sleeve.

The next moment, the cleaner hugging Valerian was heavily dumped to the ground in a standard judo throw. His curled-up body and continuous rolls indicated a significant internal injury.

And before the cleaner’s taser could touch Valerian, she preemptively attacked, smashing her Vodka bottle directly on his forehead.

The impact was so strong, it shattered the bottle to pieces, splattering Vodka, blood, and shards of glass everywhere.

And the aftermath resulted in another injured man, rolling on the ground clutching his head.

Are you two here for comic relief?

Witnessing this scenario, Song Lan could hardly contain his anger. Despite having the numerical advantage and the element of surprise, they got beaten up twice. Nowadays, it seemed any Tom, Dick, or Harry could be a criminal.

At the same time, he re-evaluated the power of the Chai Ke Group.

On the day of the Chai Ke incident, this girl of a warrior race had her head covered with a sack and was knocked out with just a single phrase she uttered.

Indeed, the contrast between the strong and weak is always emphasized.

Inevitably,

Song Lan, who had intended to bask in the sun, was forced to step in to finish the work of these two comedians.

Well, let him personally help Mr. "Mouse" gain some fame.

With this thought in mind, he quickened his pace and appeared to borst into the ruckus where Valerian was singlehandedly taking on the two cleaners.

"What’s happened here?"

"Good thing you arrived, Officer. These two cleaners look incredibly suspicious, they just tried to attack me!"

"Could be troublemakers trying to infiltrate the venue."

Song Lan said, "Come on, let’s help out. Let’s get them to the Director and see if we can find anything else!"

"Mouse,"

This is as far as I can help you.

From here on out, you are on your own.
