No Speaker, No Forgiveness

The Twin Towers, the tallest buildings in Crime City, are also the location of the city council.

Of course, this council also has another name—the Association of Villains.

Only the most vicious criminals and the most powerful criminal organizations are qualified to become members.

Now, a new criminal organization called the "Akudama Family" has publicly announced that it will blow up the headquarters of this criminal group.

This is truly—too evil!

So, even before nightfall, countless reporters and hosts had already flocked to the scene, eager to broadcast this big news that was destined to make the headlines.

"Right now, we are at the main entrance of the Twin Towers. Just from what we can see, there are no fewer than several hundred security personnel, dozens of aircraft in the sky, and mechanical surveillance covers the entire area. Wow, there are even automatic energy cannons."

"By the way, let me give you some background information. These legacies left by the previous generation of mechanical mainframes, after several city-wide gang wars, still failed to be seized by any one organization. In the end, all the gangs in the city held a meeting and decided that these legacies would be used to protect the Evil Association, not for gang wars."

"Cough cough—"

The photographer coughed, indicating that the ratings were declining, meaning that viewers weren't interested in this kind of science popularization. So the host changed the subject and started introducing the gang responsible for guarding the Evil Association.

"Currently, the criminal groups we can see that maintain are the Yamazuki Group, the Black Smoke Gang, the Bio-Geisha Group, the Type A Motorbike Gang, the Samurai Group, and the Red Stone Group."

"Among them, the Mountain Mouth Group and the Black Smoke Gang are these burly men in suits behind me. The two organizations were once two top-tier groups under the Daoxiang Society. The first generation leaders of both organizations were former top-tier group leaders. It is worth mentioning that during the gang war, the first generation leader of the Mountain Mouth Group took the mother of the first generation leader of the Black Smoke Gang as his concubine. Similarly, the first generation leader of the Black Smoke Gang kidnapped the daughter of the first generation leader of the Mountain Mouth Group and held a public wedding. So from a bloodline perspective, the two first generation leaders are actually related by marriage."

"Because of their similar backgrounds, the two criminal organizations also have similar transformation directions, namely the modification of fingers, forearms, and prosthetic eyes. Every member of the organization is a top-notch marksman who can hit the bullseye within 100 meters."

"After the split, the two sides went down different paths. The Yamazuki Group incorporated close-combat assassination modifications. You can see that those gangsters with leg modifications and implanted samurai swords are members of the Yamazuki Group. On the other hand, the Black Smoke Gang went towards biological modification. They were known as 'walking biological weapons' and 'ominous fog'."

"See those geisha beauties leaning against the windows upstairs? I'm sure some of you have enjoyed their company at night. But I must add this: the Bio-Geisha Group has dominated the red-light district for years. They're the city's most violent organization. Remember, they're a violent organization! The most violent force!"

"Motorcycle gangs exist in every mechanical city, but the Type A motorcycle gang is different. They're a religious organization, and it's said they worship a special symbol!"

"Did you all hear that? The roaring sound on the street is the sound of human motorcycles starting up."

"Needless to say, the Samurai Group is the most powerful street fighting machine."

At the cameraman's signal, the host began to move closer to the inner area to take some close-up shots and introduce the last organization, the Redstone Group.

"Redstone Corporation, or more precisely, the Crime City branch of Redstone Corporation, is widely known as a world-class military contractor, second only to the three major military giants of 'Tiber Defense Systems,' 'Marubeni Global Security,' and 'Military Technology.' Along with the recently emerging Mas, it is considered one of the most promising military contractors. Its products cover a wide range of new weapons, including paper-thin landmines and homing bullets..."

Before he could finish speaking, the host seemed to have stepped on some trash. Just as he was about to sweep it away, his face suddenly turned pale. He looked down and saw an explosion.

Blood and flames, fragments of a corpse, and shattered camera lenses.

"How could anyone be stupid enough to enter a minefield?"

A burly gangster from the Yamazui Group, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, sneered.

"Doesn't she know that the entire Twin Towers are now covered with these landmine-like paper?"

Another gangster looked nervously at the bottom of the leather shoes.

"Can this thing really recognize things intelligently? I feel like I'm standing on a volcano."

"Don't worry, it works great!" The burly man jumped up and down several times, laughing loudly, "This thing isn't one of those sensor-activated landmines; it has built-in gene detection capabilities. Remember our blood registration from before?"

Small Bookstore

Just then, a middle-aged man with a serious expression walked over. The two burly men's expressions changed, and they quickly bowed and lowered their heads, "Team Leader Yamanaka!"

The person who arrived was none other than Yamanaka, the frontline team leader who had recently been making waves.

"Instead of patrolling, you're just slacking off here?!"

"I'm so sorry, team leader!"

The big man quickly bowed and apologized, while the new recruit was a beat slower to react. He only felt a flash of silver light, and one of his fingers disappeared. His genitals widened instantly, and just as he was about to scream, the big man covered his mouth and punched him in the abdomen. The intense pain made him bend over.

"Terribly sorry!

!

"Get back to patrol!"

"Hi!

!

The gang leader calmly toyed with the bloodstained finger. Everyone in the gang knew that the new leader's favorite punishment was an ancient gangster torture—cutting off fingers.

Reaching a spot out of the camera's view, the team leader pulled a cigar box from his pocket, inserted his fingers into it, and with this one, there were exactly seven fingers in the box.

"Dehua, why are you so slow? Didn't you claim to be the successor of Infernal Affairs? You only have seven gene locks, and you're collecting them so slowly?"

The hacker's grumbling came through the headphones.

"Stop talking nonsense, hacker, or I'll take you down!" Liu Dehua, the group leader of the Yamanaka group—no, he should be the fifth member of the Akatsuki family—said coldly.

"I'm so scared, Hua Zai. I wonder when you plan to betray our evil Jade family. To be honest, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. When that day comes, I can openly hunt you down and kill you until you quit the game!" Mortar laughed heartily.

"Go back to your homework, you little kid. We don't need you tonight. We need that crazy pervert."

"What? You look down on me! Aren't I freakish enough?" Mortar roared.

"You're not perverted enough," several voices rang out simultaneously.

"Fine, fine, you just wait. One day, I'll change the Evil Jade Family into the Funeral Love Family. Then you'll see how twisted I really am!"

After putting down his headphones, the group leader straightened his collar and came out again. His long, thin face had a pair of frightening eyes. Wherever he went, everyone's expression tightened and they avoided his gaze.

When I got to the tenth floor, I saw a member of parliament being interviewed.

"I'll repeat myself: not only me, but also over a hundred of my colleagues in the council, will not evacuate. We firmly believe that those clowns will not succeed. The reason is simple: when it comes to crime, we are the professionals. They are daring to challenge our authority!"

The next moment, an explosion rang out, and a building not far from the Twin Towers was suddenly engulfed in flames, accompanied by a loud explosion.

The councilor's expression changed, and he shoved the reporter aside, shouting, "What's going on?"

Electronic sounds rang out in the building.

"Mr. Black Councilor, someone has hacked into an energy weapon launch system. There is a 75% probability that it is a hacker from the Evil Jade Clan. Currently, our Cyber Hacker are fighting him in cyberspace."

"Capture him quickly, or 'No Speaker' won't let you off the hook!"

The senator snorted and buttoned up his sleeve, which was adorned with a red rose. This was the symbol of the Rose Group, a gang in the city known for selling bio-hallucinogens. The most distinctive feature of bio-hallucinogens is that they cause physical deformities while producing hallucinations. It is said that they are backed by a biological conglomerate.

According to recent news reports, several of their biological experimental factories were burned to the ground by the Ashugama clan's arsonists.

They're old enemies.

The black-clad senator passed by the mountain dummy.

"Yama, you understand the consequences of this place being captured, don't you?"

"The city's gangs will be in an uproar, the hard-won order will collapse immediately, a new gang war will break out, and the ownership of the 'no-speaker' will be coveted by everyone."

"Good that you know. Protect this place well!" The politician poked the mannequin's chest and threatened, "Your Mountain Crest Gang's territory is built on peace and order. Once that order collapses, our Rose Gang will never tax the goods we sell on your turf! Understand?!"

"Of course," the dummy in the mountain revealed a sinister smile, "With war raging, how can we make money?"

"Good that you understand!"

The black-clad senator turned and left.

The mannequin in the mountain took one last deep look at the night outside the window, then walked back to the elevator.

This time, he went to the top floor, the two hundredth floor, which was also the location of the council.

The parliament hall was completely empty.

The dummy in the mountain looked at the highest red chair. If it were 20 years ago, it would have belonged to the mechanical mainframe of the City of No Sun, also known as the "Chairman of No Sun".

But now, there really is no "no speaker," and "no speaker, no forgiveness" has become a threatening slogan of gang organizations. Anyone threatened by this slogan usually doesn't have a good ending.

Soon, according to the Twin Towers' AI, members of the Akudama family—Scissorhands, Mortar, Ignite, and Debt Collector—appeared one after another and began attacking the outer perimeter of the Twin Towers with overwhelming firepower.

On a high-rise building near the Twin Towers, three figures appeared.

The senior engineer watched the scene of flames soaring into the sky with great interest.

"So someone's already overthrown someone so quickly? This group of players is pretty good."
