MTL - I Will Be The Crowned King-v5 Chapter 24 rob people

"It now seems that it was indeed a mistake to announce the death of Whisperer early, and when this guy appeared again, no one noticed the abnormality."

Perhaps because of the face of Anson, Cole did not intend to hide: "It was not until his power grew again in the outer city that we finally caught the little tail."

But An Sen froze in place, familiar and unfamiliar names lingering in his mind, and he couldn't help but evoke memories of the past.

The so-called "Whisper" is of course just a nickname. I am the biggest boss in the slums in the outer city. Relying on a little bit of ability as a spell caster, I have formed my own gang, and I have been with "Rifle", "Old Pocket Watch", "Cigar", "Nine". "Head Snake" and several others jointly manage the underground forces in the outer city.

Of course, several other people were already dead, and Anson himself was there.

As the only exception, at the beginning, everyone believed that this guy was assassinated because of uneven distribution of stolen goods and cowardice, and his power was not very strong; when the remaining big gangs were destroyed by the Tribunal and the storm group at that time. , and there is no news about the whispers, together with his gang that fell and scattered early.

"So what if he's still alive, how much of a threat can a small spellcaster plus a gang leader be?"

An Sen couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "Do you need your Chief Inquisitor to be so concerned?"

"It doesn't matter if it's just an ordinary gang leader. No matter how powerful an ordinary spellcaster is, it won't be really invulnerable." Cole snorted coldly:

"So you know, this guy isn't easy—in other words, he's not like any other gang leader."

"I have dealt with a lot of scumbags. The gang members are nothing more than smuggling, kidnapping, stealing, extracting money from the poor, and acting as thugs for the rich, no matter how 'high-end' it is."

"As for 'Whispering'... let me put it this way, he's helping the poor, but not in the normal way."

"You wait. Anson suddenly became interested: "What do you mean by 'normal'...?"

"It's very simple. It's nothing more than rob the rich to help the poor, or rob the poor to help the poor... Well, the latter is actually more common." Cole smiled:

"Robing the rich and smashing factories, smuggling at high prices and then sharing some of the profits to the poor, is a very normal method; many gangsters use this routine to make the surrounding poor mistakenly think they are good people and obstruct Whitehall Street. police enforcement.”

"While Whispering did not do any of these, he set up a so-called 'mutual aid society' in the slums to let the poor in the outer city help each other, and set up a public market to sell potatoes, bacon and bread at market prices. one fifth."

"…one fifth?"

"I've been there three times in person. The bread is sold in small pieces, the potatoes are smaller than the size of a palm, and the bacon is very salty, and the shape is very neat, and they are all sold with minced meat like sawdust." Cole nodded:

"This market doesn't allow credit, but bartering is allowed - I saw a child with his own eyes who traded a piece of bread he had picked up for a fist-sized piece of bread."

"It seems that this is still a gang leader who is keen on charity." Anson raised his eyebrows:

"Being so generous, he must be rich, right?"

"The response is really fast. I found the key to the problem at first, and it seems to be a little faster than you."

Cole pinched his right thumb and index finger, and said proudly: "Yes, the biggest question is where does the money come from?"

"He's a gang leader who is capable of extortion, reselling and smuggling. The rest of the business has no guarantees for him, and he can't find financing targets when he opens a factory. What does he do to help the poor?"

"It's nothing else. Potatoes, bacon, bread... If they sell cheaply, he's doing charity work, but where do they buy the supplies? I've made a special investigation, and none of the big grocers in Clovis have anything with him. business dealings."

"Since this is the case, it means that he has a special supply channel, or that someone provides him with cheap food to buy people's hearts; then who is this person, and where does he have such a great ability to continuously provide sufficient energy Isn't it curious that supplies help the poor in the outer city?"

"Curious, but I'm more curious about what this has to do with the trial?"

Anson looked at Cole, who was suddenly inexplicably excited, with a very puzzled expression: "Even if what you said is true, it seems that this matter should be the responsibility of the police on Whitehall Street, right?"

"If I remember correctly, the jurisdiction of the Inquisition is only to deal with matters related to infidels and apostates; Whisper... Except for himself and probably a fairly limited number of cronies, barely related to the Old Gods, this matter The judges of the Truth Seeking Order will never get involved."

"Yes, the Tribunal is only responsible for these." Cole smiled unabated:

"So...now you know why I care so much about whispering our old friend."

This incident is also related to the Old God faction organization, which is very interesting... An Sen is suddenly really curious.

In fact, when she left Beluga Harbour, Talia mentioned this issue intentionally or unintentionally... In the past, because of the existence of Lund Manor and the Rune family, the old gods and large organizations in other places were easily afraid to set foot. In Clovis City, the local old **** sect group grows savagely under the high pressure environment closely monitored by the Rune family.

The consequences were as Anson saw later... There were hardly any decent spellcasters, small and cluttered, let alone organized and systematic.

In addition to the deterrent power of the apostles, this is also a tacit understanding between the Holy See and the "apostolic family" like Rune: they ignore each other's existence, provided that the apostles do not take the initiative to cause trouble, and at the same time ensure the "stability" of the region.

There is no doubt that the departure of the Rune family will inevitably create a "power vacuum" in the area. Without the threat from the apostles, the ghosts and snakes from other places will definitely see carrion like hyenas and flood into Clovis City desperately.

It is not difficult to understand if you want to - compared with the capital, the huge Clovina is like a country. Who doesn't want to start a business in a big city?

Whispering, it is probably the first among this group of people to take advantage of the location advantage to seize the opportunity, play a new style on the old track, and try to define the market rules.

They still don't dare to be too obvious and go too far. They only dare to use this hidden trick to test the strength of the Holy See in Clovis City; Cole's goal is simply, ready to use a sweeping method to deter this group of outsiders. them.

Just as the increasingly curious Anson was about to continue his questioning, the two clerks of the Army Department who were stunned beside him seemed to have finally gathered up the courage and dared to walk towards the Chief Inquisitor.

"Lord Cole Dorian, please forgive us for being rude, but it seems that you interfered with our work."

Lieutenant Colonel Krowne was the first to come forward. With a gentle expression, he had a very sincere tone and deliberately kept his posture low: "Bring Brigadier General Anson and the Storm Legion, who are accused of treason, back to Clovis. The city is the highest order of the War Department."

"Of course, this is definitely not the intention of the Ministry of War to be embarrassing each other with the Truth-seeking Order. We are also very clear that the judges are only doing things according to the rules, but right now we really can't delay a minute, so although I understand that you and Brigadier General Anson friendship, but…”

"Friendship, what friendship?" Cole, who raised his eyebrows, suddenly interrupted:

"Have you misunderstood anything? I have any friendship with this guy. If it wasn't for work reasons, do you think I wanted to throw away what I was doing and come here to chat with you?"

"Then now..."

"Right now I'm just telling him and you guys. The Truth Seeking Order is very busy right now, and it can't allocate enough people to monitor the important target of Anson Bach. Otherwise, do you think I want to come alone?" Cole turned over. White eyes:

"Obviously it was kindness to help you save trouble, but it turned out that I had nothing to do!"

"This... we definitely don't mean that!"

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a powder keg that could explode at any time, Lieutenant Colonel Crowne quickly explained: "We are just following orders. The adults of the War Department are urging that Brigadier General Anson must be brought back, so..."

"Where are you going to take him?" Cole waved his hand impatiently, giving the other party no room for excuses at all.

"This…"

The two clerks glanced at each other quickly, and stuttered a little nervously: "If there is no accident, the Storm Legion needs to go to the designated station, and Brigadier General Anson should be a guard under the Ministry of the Army..."

"no!"

The chief judge holding his shoulders flatly refused: "The Holy See asked me to monitor his every move 24 hours a day. Are you planning to put me in jail too?"

"Then, how could that be!" Lieutenant Colonel Klawn quickly said with a smile:

"If you don't mind, we can prepare a separate residence for you at the place where Brigadier General Anson is guarded, guaranteeing..."

"Other accommodation, okay, the War Department is very generous!" Cole suddenly sneered, raising his voice by the way:

"Let me remind you one more thing, Anson Bach is not only your War Department, but also a suspect designated by the Holy See, suspected of colluding with the old gods; if for any reason he disappears, the War Department is willing to take this responsibility?"

"This...this is of course...is..."

Lieutenant Colonel Klawn was at a loss for words. Of course, it wasn't that he was really wrong, but that the chief judge on the other side didn't plan to reason with him at all, and it was already clear that he was going to **** someone from the Ministry of War.

As for the deceptive nonsense of "no friendship", it should really only be believed by fools;

If this is the main field of the Ministry of the Army, or even a military camp, people can be taken away by force, without looking at the face of the Holy See; if it is in a crowded place, because the Holy See and the Tribunal have never "interfered in the world" in public restrictions, they are also very advantageous in action.

But this is the station. The Holy See was able to clear the entire station with great fanfare in order to get people. Obviously, it came prepared.

Who can have this kind of financial resources to directly "dominate" the station for half an hour, and who can persuade the railway committee to get this opportunity for the court to have the chief judge to be present in person, and it just happens to be stuck at the time when the train enters the station. ?

Considering the surname of Archbishop Clovis, Anson Bach can climb to the back of his current position, and the answer is not difficult to guess at all.

Looking at his blue-faced companion, Lieutenant Colonel Klauen sighed inwardly, worrying about his darkening future: "Then may I ask, where are you going to take Brigadier General Anson to monitor?"

"Where... This has nothing to do with you." Cole was still rude:

"The second public order meeting in the forty-seventh year of the saint's calendar, the Holy See will not interfere in secular affairs, and the secular kingship must not question the Holy See's authority in religion!"

Will not interfere in the world... Looking at Cole's righteous expression, the two clerks of the Army Department tickle their teeth with hatred, but they dare not question each other for half a word.

Although there seem to be more than 8,000 Army soldiers in the station in terms of number, they both believe that these loyal Storm Legionnaires are definitely the most steadfast believers of the Ring of Order, and they will not hesitate to fight against the orders of the Ministry of War without any burden in their hearts. of.

"Since the adults have said so, it seems that we have no room to continue talking."

Holding on to his companion who was still trying to struggle, Lieutenant Colonel Klauen lost his smile again:

"Brigadier General Anson, let's say goodbye to this for a while, and see you again when the War Department questioned and brought charges to the court; I hope that the laws of the kingdom will be enforced fairly, and no gangsters will be spared, and no loyal ministers will be wronged!"

"This is also my own wish." An Sen nodded slightly, and even enthusiastically extended his right hand to the other party:

"Traveling together on this journey has caused a lot of trouble for the two of you, please don't mind!"

Before the words fell, the faces of the two clerks suddenly turned darker.

"Have you finished saying goodbye? Come with me when you're done." Cole suddenly interjected:

"We only have an hour and a half, now it's less than ten minutes."

"Understood, it won't make you embarrassed."

The corner of Anson's mouth rose slightly. Of course, he knew that the chief judge was telling himself that if the people from the War Department came later, they would not be able to get out so easily:

"By the way, before I leave, I want to take two people with me, may I ask?"

"With people?!"

Cole was stunned for a moment: "How many, how many people, shouldn't you bring the entire Storm Legion with you?"

Although it is not completely unreasonable, the intention of covering up is too obvious in that case. The court is not afraid of the Ministry of War, but it does not mean that it is going to be the enemy of the Ministry of War!

"That's not true, it's just my secretary Alan and my sister Lisa." Anson shook his head: "This is just a little request from me, please allow me."

"This..." Cole quickly looked at the two who were also staring at him, and the Army Department clerk who seemed to be relieved, and finally nodded slightly:

"Can!"
