Chapter 150

If we eliminate them one by one, other gangs will only flee in fear. Therefore, we must resolve the issue completely within a day to eliminate any future troubles.

This incident clearly demonstrates Lin Gerei's decisiveness. He may be the underground emperor of the Slums, but he doesn't levy taxes on other gangs that profit from their activities.

He wouldn't get any benefit from the gangs in his jurisdiction engaging in shady activities and illegal and disorderly conduct.

The reason we didn't address this issue before was the fear that eliminating these gangs would lead to tens of thousands of people losing their jobs. However, failing to resolve this problem could result in countless families being torn apart and lives lost.

But now that problem has been solved, Lin Gerei has no more worries. Eradicating these scourges in the Slums was as swift as autumn leaves being swept away.

The Emperor was unaware of what had happened in the Slums, but from Isu Is said, it sounded quite serious:

"Why don't you guys go over and take a look? If you need any help, you can lend a hand."

"No need, I know what's going on."

Shi Lei nodded to the boss and calmly explained:

"Some time ago, Miss Beatrix initiated a commission, asking Texas and me to help Officer Chen Texas the issue of the Lungmen Guard Department branch being unpopular with the local residents after moving into the Slums."

I devised a plan, with the goal of eliminating local gangs involved in the gray market. The aim was to persuade the Schwayer Group to set up a factory in the Slums, creating numerous jobs. This would remove an obstacle, allowing Officer Chen to carry out his work more effectively. It would be far less efficient to have to crack down on gangs every time they caused trouble.

There's really no need to go to the Slums. If Mr. Lin needs help, he and his daughter, Lin Yuxia, will proactively call Penguin Logistics.

Shi Lei's relative, Mudrock, worked for Lin Gerei. With her formidable personal strength, dealing with ordinary people was no problem for her.

"Well, so it was you who did this."

The Emperor rarely concern himself with these things; he spends most of his time in the studio diligently creating and arranging music.

The boss was completely unaware that his employees had quietly carried out such a big operation.

"And you didn't even include me in this. Don't do this again!"

Shi Lei was somewhat amused and exasperated, and explained:

"Boss, I never intended to get involved in this. I just wanted everyone to get what they needed and create a win-win situation. Very few people know about what I'm involved in, so how should I address you?"

"I don't care, you have to call me next time!"

Previously, Texas, burdened by an unequal treaty with no specified terms, Messenger a group of messengers back to Syracuse. The Emperor was delayed by a week due to other matters, and by the time his messengers arrived in Volcini, everything had been settled.

The incident in the Slums caused such a big stir, but it was extinguished as soon as it started to gain momentum. This makes the Emperor think that the company employees don't really want to be involved.

Hearing his boss's statement, Shi Lei was speechless, but still agreed:

"Okay, I'll definitely do it next time."

Lisa was playing on her phone when she saw the live Live Broadcast and proactively showed her screen:

"Brother Shi, is this what you're talking about?"

The crowd followed the sound and discovered that it was a press conference held by the Schwayer Group.

Blake Suiya, the group's head, announced to the media reporters present that they would be opening a factory in Slums and recruiting workers.

These words immediately caused an uproar in the room.

This press conference was Live Broadcast by Lungmen Television and was also Live Broadcast online.

Most residents of Upper City find it incomprehensible. Only a portion of Upper City has been renovated; it's not even fully completed. What is the Schwayer Group thinking? Why would they choose to move into a lawless, Slums?

I didn't understand, but I was deeply shocked.

But for tens of thousands of people in the Slums, this press conference was a godsend.

They only learned this morning that all gangs involved in the gray market had been wiped out. And the scale of this crackdown was truly astonishing. The remaining gang members are now living in fear, terrified of being dealt with as well.

The loss of their main source of income has plunged countless people in Slums into deep confusion. They don't know which way to go in the future.

The news of Schwayer Group's move to the slum, announced at a press conference, seems to have been influenced by a behind-the-scenes force, spreading like wildfire through various channels within the Slums.

Amidst the shock, the people had a distinct feeling: this Slums was about to undergo a dramatic change!

Yesterday, numerous gangs were wiped out, and today the Schwayer Group announced its move in. Any normal person would connect the two events. Conspiracy theories abound, accusations of double-crossing, and all sorts of speculation are circulating.

For most people in the Slums, the truth doesn't matter. As long as they can find work and earn a living, it doesn't matter who they work for. Gangs or the Schwayer Group, it doesn't matter.

There is no difference in essence.

In addition, at this press conference, Mr. Blake announced Two Strips bombshell, accusing the fifth son of the Daniel family of premeditated murder. Evidence has been collected, and a verdict will be announced in court soon.

Upon learning this news, Shi Lei knew without a doubt that it was thanks to the Koi-Style Detective Agency. They were quite capable to have uncovered the real culprit after so much time had passed.

Such feuds among wealthy families are also a common topic of conversation among ordinary people. However, compared to the Schwayer Group's move into Slums, it pales in comparison.

June 2nd, 2:27 PM

At 2 p. m., Mudrock was summoned to the Lin Residence.

She worked all night yesterday, eradicating countless gangs involved in the gray market. Even Mudrock herself doesn't know exactly how many people she killed.

But she knew these were very, very bad people. Getting rid of these guys would be a good thing for the entire Slums, so she did it with all her might.

Lin Gerei, leaning on his cane, stood up upon seeing the Mudrock, a kind smile spreading across his face.

"You've worked so hard; yesterday's work felt like several months' worth of work. How are you doing?"

"Thank you for your concern, Old Mr. Lin. I'm fine."

Lin Gerei nodded in satisfaction, pointed to the thick envelope on the table, and explained:

"Our initial agreed-upon compensation was 200,000 Lungmen Dollars per month, with additional payments for other commissions. You were a great help yesterday, so here's 300,000 Lungmen Dollars."

Upon hearing Mudrock, Ni Yan's eyes lit up immediately. With this money, she could buy the warehouse a month earlier!

"Miss Mudrock, it's been a very pleasant working relationship with you these past few months. Now that these gangs have been eliminated, the security of the Slums will gradually be taken over by the Lungmen Guard Department, and you won't need to patrol anymore. If I still offer you a salary of 200,000, would you be willing to stay and work for me?"

Mudrock shook his head, his attitude very firm:

"Won't."

She painstakingly saved up money for several months just so she could stay by her master's side.

Now, Mudrock's whole heart is with Shi Lei, and he has no intention of staying to do anything.

"Why."

Lin Gerei sighed softly, knowing he couldn't keep her. But it would be a real pity to let such a talented person go. Now, he could only try to salvage the situation with a humble attitude:

"Miss Mudrock, whenever you want to come back to work, the Lin family's doors are always open for you."

Mudrock bowed deeply and expressed his sincere gratitude:

"Okay, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

With that, she took the envelope and left the hall. Her skipping, joyful steps reflected her overflowing happiness.

I initially projected to earn 800,000 yuan in four months, with a 700,000 yuan budget for a warehouse and 100,000 yuan for renovations. Now I have 900,000 yuan, plus 100,000 yuan to spare, which I feel I can use to start a small business.

Mudrock plans to contact a real estate agent near the owner's home to inquire about prices from other warehouse owners.

After saying goodbye to Lin Gerei, Mudrock Yan turned and left the hall. Standing Lin Residence, she turned back for one last look at the familiar mansion, guessing she would never come back again.

Instead of returning directly to the base, Mudrock went first to the residence of the elite infected. Even if she couldn't notify them individually, she could at least inform them of her resignation.

Given the special circumstances of the infected in Lungmen, their residences are far from the Lin Residence. Even if the gang leader Lin Gerei doesn't care, most of the ordinary gang members do.

When Mudrock arrived at the open space in front of his residence, he only saw a few scattered elite infected individuals.

Yesterday, the Lin family gang was wiped out in the Slums for its involvement in the gray market industry. The entire Lin family gang was mobilized. Mudrock single-handedly took control of several gangs without any cooperation from others.

Although the elite infected are stronger than ordinary people, they are facing ruthless and vicious criminals. In this head-on clash, casualties are inevitable. In the past, this place was usually bustling with people, but today there are hardly any.

Some of the infected people recognized her and greeted her.

"Hey, Captain? Hello there."

Mudrock turned around at the sound and calmly explained:

"Xiao Kuang, I've resigned. I'm no longer your team leader."

"What?!"

Xiao Kuang's eyes widened in disbelief. These elite infected had spent nearly half a year with Mudrock and had long regarded this beautiful and strong Sarkaz girl as their idol.

Hearing that she resigned, I can't accept it for a moment:

"What happened, Captain? Why did you resign? Did you run into some trouble?"

"No, it's just that my collaboration with Old Mr. Lin was terminated a month early. Even if what happened yesterday hadn't happened, I would still have resigned next month. I'm here today to say goodbye."

Actually, after leaving the Lin Residence, Mudrock could have simply left without saying goodbye. However, she had spent so much time with these elite infected individuals, and it would have been rather unethical to depart without remorse.

Xiao Kuang looked distressed, feeling extremely disappointed.

"Captain, I'll go and call everyone out so we can have a farewell banquet for you."

"No need, Xiao Kuang."

Being surrounded by a large number of infected would only make things more difficult for Mudrock, so it's better to end it here:

"Please pass on a message to everyone: that I should live a good life after I leave and not give up on myself."

"Captain, do you really have to leave?"

Without any hesitation, Mudrock nodded solemnly.

Seeing that she was determined to leave

"Decisive," Xiao Kuang sighed helplessly.

"Where will you go after leaving the Lin family?"

After pondering for a moment, Mudrock decided to tell the truth:

"I'm thinking of buying a house in the Upper City. I probably won't be coming here much anymore. Anyway, I'll leave this message to you."

Most of the elite infected had sustained minor injuries and were resting indoors. If Xiao Kuang went to call them now, they would all rush out in a swarm. But Mudrock would also leave quickly, making the call pointless.

With mixed feelings, he bowed deeply to Mudrock in gratitude.

"Captain, thank you for taking care of me these past few days."

Infected individuals like them were meant to be cannon fodder. They were always the first to be sent out on dangerous missions. It was only because of Mudrock that their casualties were minimized. Therefore, all the elite infected individuals held her in the highest esteem.

"Okay, I'm off then, bye-bye."

Mudrock didn't say goodbye, but turned and left the scene. Who knows when we'll meet again?

However, this sadness did not linger in her heart for long, and was soon replaced by joy.

Mudrock worked and saved money for months for this day, how could he not be happy?

Back at the base, she hurried inside.

The six Sarkaz mercenaries are still apprentices at the hotel and haven't returned yet.

Mudrock went to the Clay Sculpture room on the third floor and opened her arms to embrace the life-size Stone Statues of Shi Lei. After a moment, she squatted down and took out a bank card hidden under the base.

It's only 3 PM now, there's still time. I can go to the Upper City and inquire about warehouse prices.

As Mudrock was leaving, she happened to run into V, who was coming out of the room. Seeing that she was in a good mood, V asked:

"Boss, did something good happen to you today? You look so happy!"

Mudrock smiled and explained:

"I resigned."

Most people would be happy to quit their job and finally break free from the constraints of their old company. But there was nothing unpleasant between her and Lin Gerei. She was simply genuinely happy because she was about to move closer to her new employer.

"Oh?"

Mudrock was in a hurry to find a real estate agent in the Upper City and didn't have time to explain further to V. He simply gave the order:

"I have something to do and need to go out first. When you all come back tonight, tell them not to leave. I have something very important to announce to you."
