Chapter 1140: Chapter 1,139, Cooperation and cooperation
Translator: 549690339
The crime rate in dusk city was not high, especially when serious crimes such as murder cases were rare.
It was not that there were no murders, but those things happened in some hidden corners. There were not many people who knew about it, and it would not cause too much of a stir in dusk city.
However, these two days were suddenly different. Not only were there frequent murder cases, but many of them happened in public places without any scruples.
There were even more than a dozen people who died, such as the operations personnel that Yu Tian had killed in the villa.
In addition, these murders seemed to have spread to the surrounding cities, and even the number of vicious cases in the entire state and province had increased.
This was the clone society and the traitors of the East Dragon Company, who were hunting down the loyal members of the East Dragon Company.
For example, the lucky ones like No. 76 who had not been arrested, as well as some middle-level and low-level people that the traitors knew about.
Of course, there were also some counter-attacks from the East Dragon Company.
Some of the middle-and upper-level people, after finding out that the headquarters had been wiped out, secretly sent operatives to Twilight City to investigate, which inevitably led to some conflicts with the traitors.
These things made Edward realize that something was wrong. Twilight City seemed to have stirred up a hornet’s nest.
But these things were not under his control. Councilman Leon seemed to have also intervened in these cases and started to interfere with some of the police actions. This was definitely not a simple business competition.
Edward wanted to benefit from the misfortune of Councilman Leon and the others, but he was also worried that he would get into more trouble if he got too deeply involved in these things.
Piggy Liang observed Edward’s expression and naturally understood Edward’s concerns.
Just some benefits were not enough to make Edward obey them, and it was not enough to make Edward work for them wholeheartedly.
What Piggy Liang wanted was not an equal partner, but a chess piece that was under his control.
Just the inducement was not enough; they had to threaten him.
Piggy Liang said indifferently, “Mayor Edward, you should have noticed that there are some unusual circumstances these two days…”
“But this is just the beginning. Next, we will have more armed personnel arrive at dusk city and take more military action…”
“All the enemies will be killed by US physically. No one will be spared! ”
“Now, it’s time for you to make a decision. Do you want to be our enemy? Or do you want to be our friend?”
Edward was silent for a long while before he finally sighed and said, “Alright,
I’ll cooperate with you. This might be a very good choice…”
Although Edward did not know the power behind Yu Tian and the others,
Brother Pig’s actions today were enough to prove that Yu Tian and the others were a group of lawless fanatics.
This was not a power that Edward could resist.
Not to mention a small mayor like him, even the president who controlled absolute power could not defend against the assassination of these desperadoes.
Edward originally did not want to get involved in these dangerous things, but he did not seem to have the right to choose now.
He could only surrender, at least for now he could still keep his life.
If he could really survive the chaos in Twilight City, he could still reap a lot of benefits, and even gain power.
As for what to do in the future, Edward felt that these matters would at least wait until he was free from the control of these bandits.
After Edward relented, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to have eased up a little, and the gazes of the bodyguards staring at Edward also became less guarded and hostile.
Piggy Liang knew that Edward would not be willing to serve them wholeheartedly, but it did not matter. He just needed someone who could appear justifiably after the chaos and clean up the mess.
As for whether Edward would listen to them in the future and bite back, he felt that this matter was only related to his own strength.
As long as they showed enough strength, Edward would not dare to betray them.
Thus, brother pig showed a cordial smile, he warmly held Edward’s hand and said, “Then, mayor Edward, from now on, we will be dear comrades-in-arms. Believe me, you will reap benefits that you did not expect…
Edward also smiled stiffly and shook hands with Brother Pig. “You can call me Edward…
“You can just call me Edward…
Piggy Liang continued, “Then, you need to disappear from public view for a few days and get the police to release the news that you have been kidnapped by bandits… do you have anyone you can trust in the police station?”
Edward hesitated for a moment. “If it’s the police station… There is indeed a deputy chief who can be trusted, but if you just want to reveal the news of my kidnapping to the outside world, this can be done through some news and the media, right?”
“Do you have a reliable friend in the media?”
“Yes.
“Good, you can give us his information and the information of your deputy chief friend…
“There are no problems with the media, but as for the police station… with Chief Henry around, my deputy chief friend might not be able to provide much help to you.”
Edward helplessly spread his hands.
Although the deputy director also had some authority, if the director was very strong, the deputy would not be able to play a role in many matters.
Especially in the past two days, the situation in dusk city had become more chaotic. Councilman Leon and director Henry would definitely not let others interfere with their arrangements and operations.
Even if it was a matter of no importance, they would personally ask and command, and the deputy directors would not be able to interfere.
They could only stand on the side and watch, or obediently execute the tasks assigned by the director.
Therefore, Edward felt that contacting the deputy director’s friend right now would not be of much use.
Brother Pig rolled his eyes. “We don’t need his help right now. With our powerful strength, we don ‘t need his cooperation to carry out any operations in Twilight City. “Even if there are hundreds or thousands of armed police forces in Twilight City, they won’t affect our operations…”
“Then what do you need him to do?”
“We need him to bring his capable subordinates to rescue you, the kidnapped mayor, from the hands of the bandits… This will happen in a few days, but we need to arrange it in advance and communicate with him.
“I understand, I’ll give you their phone number now. ”
“The phone number is not the point, nor is it a safe way to contact them. I need their address. ”
“No problem.
“Also, Congressman Leon, director Henry, and other people who should be dead… I also want their detailed information.
“No problem, I can give you the information of all the relevant people… my secretary has very detailed information in her hands, and she only needs a computer to pull it out..”
