Chapter 92: Chapter 92: May Enthusiastic Citizens Be with You_1
The meeting had to be cancelled the next day as the venue was destroyed.
As the mayor’s secretary was missing and he was mentally unstable after waking up from the devastating event, High Prosecutor Dominas remained unconscious.
At 1:03 in the afternoon, Mayor Lyon left the meeting room, accompanied by Roger. After a morning of psychological counselling, he finally calmed down.
He stood at the front of the destroyed venue for a long time. This venue held many of his cherished memories. When he first took office as mayor, he had devoted countless efforts to this city and wished to bring significant changes. But now, his ideals were as devastated as the burnt-down building, leaving nothing but ruins.
At some point, he had pushed aside many of his original ambitions when he took office, and walked on thin ice for the purpose of re-election.
"Dr. Roger, I’m very grateful."
Long afterward, Lyon spoke, "This city is fortunate to have people like you."
After that, he felt as if a great weight was lifted from his shoulders.
The defeat of his venue made him resolve to change everything around him.
Starting from now.
With this in mind, he strided towards the main entrance of the venue with determination.
The explosion of the venue had drawn many reporters and freelancers. Everyone was gathered at the entrance, trying their best to unlock the source of this breaking news.
Even though the reporters were blocked outside the venue, their enthusiasm was unsurmountable.
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the crowd.
At that moment, all the cameras zoomed in on the entrance.
"It’s Mayor Lyon!"
"Mayor Lyon, could we have a moment of your time?"
"What are your thoughts on the explosion case?"
....................
"Extra, Extra! The Real Culprit of Sector 17!"
"The Bloody Truth! The Unveiled Secrets of the Grand Family!"
"City Hero or Behind-the-Scene Puppeteer? An Unprecedented Inspection Department!"
Undoubtedly, this day was a media frenzy of the United Government. The breaking news centered on the Seventeenth District and spread to the entire United Government within half a day.
Those who knew nothing about the Foster Family began to learn about their deeds through these reports.
Moreover, the Foster family became the target of public criticism.
The frenzy was triggered by a press conference held this afternoon.
Lyon Selbot, the current mayor of the Seventeenth District, corroborated the various crimes the Foster family had committed over the decades. Although there had been many conspiracy theories, this was the first time a government official had confirmed their authenticity.
Supporting criminal forces, colluding with "external" elements and corrupt capitalists, allowing the dismal employment situation in District 17 to deteriorate...
The Foster family had indulged in every vile act imaginable.
Mayor Lyon also promised the public that if necessary, he would personally testify against those who had overlooked the Foster family’s offenses during their term.
In the end, Mayor Lyon announced an intriguing piece of news.
He mentioned an interesting term to the media.
"Enthusiastic Citizens."
He stated to the media that it was due to the tireless efforts of these "Enthusiastic Citizens" that a ray of light was brought into the city controlled by the Foster family. Thus, he had found the courage to stand before everyone and reveal everything.
As a result, the discussion about "Enthusiastic Citizens" became the hottest topic. As the term was rather vague and Mayor Lyon didn’t provide further explanations, countless speculations arose online.
Some people believed that "Enthusiastic Citizens" referred to a hidden hero in the Seventeenth District, while others thought that Mayor Lyon was referring to a group sacrificing themselves for the city in hidden corners.
Despite the speculations, people came to a consensus.
"May the Enthusiastic Civilians Be with You."
This title became the banner of many websites and forums. It not only summarised the explosive news of the day, but also reflected the hopes of the city’s residents for the future.
At this moment, the "Enthusiastic Citizen" was alone on the hotel rooftop.
Even though the sun was shining brightly overhead, he felt a chill in the air.
Song Lan felt that he needed to emphasize something:
First of all, I didn’t provoke any of you.
Looking at the endless stream of news popping up on his phone, he felt his scalp tingle.
The actions of the Mayor of Lyon City were unexpected. Even more surprising was that after publicly exposing the crimes of the Foster Family, he had casually thrown him under the bus. Currently, in Section Seventeen, apart from the Law Enforcers, criminals, and intelligence traffickers, even the general public has joined the hunt for the "enthusiastic civilian".
Another constantly ringing phone made him feel slightly better.
At least, there were other people today who were just as distressed as him.
Having lost their informants and being completely clueless about the situation in Section Seventeen, the Foster Family was anxious. Throughout the morning, they bombarded Mr. Killer’s phone with orders like spam messages.
This mission had only one target: to assassinate the Mayor of Lyon City before he could produce any substantial evidence.
In the texts, they even unusually started to arrange the details of the operation, instructing him to ensure that Lyon Seabot’s death news made headlines within a day. In their haste, they seemed to have given up on any pretense of decorum.
If the mayor suffered an unexpected death at this time, even a fool would know that the Foster Family would not be able to escape implication.
But ...
I know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush.
Song Lan picked up Mr. Killer’s phone and under the scorching Lieyang, details about the assassination of the Mayor of Lyon City continued to emerge.
After leaving the Foster Family hanging all morning, he finally went to the message reply page:
Finished typing, clicked send.
The moment the "message sent successfully" notification popped up, Mr. Killer’s phone was turned into dust by the influence of Spiritual Energy. Some scattered on the ground, while some were blown away by the wind.
............
That night, the "Gold Seeker" bar welcomed a special guest.
The guest was old and had lost the grandeur of his tenure. Ophir in the compartment noticed the slightly defeated figure. She gave a signal to the bartender Ivan, walking straight behind the bar.
"What would you like to drink?"
She ordered herself an electronic cigarette. It wasn’t yet time for the bar to officially open, so it was very quiet at the counter.
"Vodka, orange juice, lime ..."
"Some ginger beer as well?"
"Mm hmm".
"You haven’t changed your taste, have you? Well? The Foster Family must despise you by now, don’t they?"
"Tch, I’m just an early retiree now".
Lyon Seabot took a sip from his glass. The current him no longer had the resolve of his younger days to gulp down hard liquor.
"So, you would be considered unemployed now?"
"You could say that".
"We’re short on staff here, want to try working here?"
...............
At the same time, the prison on the outskirts of Section Seventeen.
Under the escort of prison guards, the mournful "Rat" was pushed into the prisoner’s area.
He had heard of this prison, anyone who was sent here was a hardcore criminal who had taken countless lives. He could predict just how bleak his future prison life would be.
As soon as he entered the prisoners’ area, a group of hardened criminals with fierce-looking faces surrounded him.
The traditional "welcome party" for new inmates.
He had heard about this tradition.
"Rat" gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, and put on a fierce face, "Do you guys know who I am?"
"Of course".
The sinister-faced lead brute only uttered this one sentence and it brought intense pressure to "Rat".
But the next moment, the atmosphere in the prison changed.
"You’re the legendary guy who blew up the venue, aren’t you! Boss ’Rat’, from now on, we’ll follow your lead!"
