Chapter 1001 232. Annan's Promotion

Renato, who was reading in the study, learned that Annan had returned and asked the butler to bring him over.

"How is it?" he asked Annan about his impression of the new capital.

“People here need redemption.”

Renato was noncommittal: "What do you want to do?"

"It's still too slow to let the Free Blade surround the New Capital from the town. Can we destroy it from within?"

"Isn't it already being done?"

"Bring in the Free Blade." Annan was referring to Francois, Little Smalls and others who were outside.

Renato thought about it seriously and said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The palace has spies in the inner and outer cities, just like the Purification Court. If there is too much noise, our purpose will be exposed."

The Kingdom is not a target that can be hit without fighting back. On the contrary, it will do many dirty things that Liberty City cannot imagine. Unless you are prepared to overturn the table, don't be too conspicuous.

Annan settled for the next best thing. If there was no way to have strength in numbers, then he would use a small number of people: "I need an identity that allows me to act without restrictions."

"How about giving you a captain of the guard?"

"Captain Cai?"

What's the point of a captain who can lead 5 to 10 people at most...

"The number of city guards is limited. There are many eyes watching and many hands trying to get involved. If I appoint someone without any foundation, I will be gossiped about."

"Not even the 'nephew' of the Minister of Military Affairs?" Annan asked.

"But you're not really my nephew, are you?"

When the new city guard takes office, there will definitely be someone investigating. Annan's identity is full of loopholes and will definitely be exposed at that time.

"Oh, right." The Military Minister seemed to have thought of something and handed a confidential document on the table to Annan.

"what is this?"

"The order conveyed by the palace yesterday is to select talents regardless of their status."

"He's anxious."

Annan lowered his head and opened the document. The content was very normal. The palace wanted to select young talents from all over the kingdom...but whether the kingdom could really be as normal as the document said was questionable.

"You want me to go this way?" Annan shook the document.

"As long as you make a few more achievements, I can arrange a position for you as a city guard officer in the military department..."

Annan roughly calculated the time it would take for the Free Blade to reach the city, and nodded, "Let's give it a try."

In a sense, Annan, who was once the King in the North, was starting from scratch - with at most a military minister and a few parliamentarians to support him.

"I do have an idea now."

……

"Sheafield, can I trust you?"

Outside the gate of the Sable Gang, Annan looked at Sheafield seriously.

"Everything I have is given by you. No matter what you want me to do, I will go through fire and water and lead my gang to the front!"

During the half day as the new boss, Sheafield lived a life that he could never have imagined before.

The respectful looks of people on the street, not being driven away as an idle hooligans, the women's admiration for the strong, and the fact that his subordinates would do whatever he said -

Sheafield used to despise the tyranny of the rich and nobles, and even wanted to join the Freeblade to overthrow them, but now he just wants to become one of them.

Annan was a little uncomfortable with Sheafield's transformation. He thought he would say something like "I never knew being a big shot was so cool."

But that’s okay too.

"Very good, gather all the gang members here, I will bring the guards to annihilate your gang later." "Huh?"

Countless memories of his brief time with Annan flashed through Sheafield's mind... Damn nobles, sinister politicians, damn villains, they really can't be trusted -

"Then go here with the looted property and the gang members who have not committed any crimes. Remember to give your gang a new name." Annan handed him an address.

Sheafield's emotions changed so much in such a short period of time that he took the parchment in a daze and said, "The Sable Gang..."

"Didn't I tell you? I'm going to take my men to destroy them. Oh, and find a guy you don't like and give him the boss, the one who attacked me with a hidden arrow."

"You gave him to me as your deputy, didn't you?"

"Oh, I forgot... Then pick the one who looks like the boss. He has never done any dirty work?"

Sheafield shook his head: "He is too young, it's not too late..."

Annan and Sheafield both ignored the minor issues of stealing and robbery. After all, it was impossible for an honest person to survive in the new capital.

If Annan wanted to be promoted, he needed Sheafield's help. He patted the reserved Sheafield on the shoulder and said, "Don't be shy. Remember, you have the Minister of Military Affairs behind you, and the Minister of Military Affairs has me behind him."

"it is good……"

Sheafield seemed to see a bright future, but was he saying the opposite?
"Um... Sir, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Olme..." Thinking that this name was just used by Francois, he continued, "Young Master Olme, temporary captain of the guards."

"temporary?"

"Soon he'll be a city guard officer."

Sheafield was about to be envious, but suddenly he remembered that he was the gray glove of Master Olmer. The higher his status, the safer he was.

"Yes, Master Olme."

"Get ready, I'll bring someone here in 30 minutes."

As soon as Annan left, Sheafield called Tiger over - he was the second most powerful thug in the gang after Boss Hoss, with muscular body and extremely oppressive presence standing there.

Sheafield picked Tiger because he was the second in command of the gang and the evil he did was second only to Boss Hoss, not because he was dissatisfied with himself.

"I have decided to let you be the boss."

"Don't try to test me anymore. I recognize you as the boss." The tiger is just strong, not stupid.

"It's not a test. I found that my ideas are not in line with those of the Sable Gang, so I'm ready to leave."

As he spoke, Sheafield arranged for his deputy, the little boy, to gather the people he had chosen.

Tiger looked at it for a long time and said in a muffled voice: "Really give it to me?"

"Ah."

The strong tiger held it in for a long time before he said shyly, "...I admit that my voice was a little loud when you came."

Sheafield almost didn't have the heart to accept him, but when he thought of the girl's skin displayed in this guy's room, he had difficulty hiding his disgust.

The puzzled gang members were gathered together. He did not explain because time was running out. He patted Tiger on the shoulder and said, "The Sable Gang is in your hands. Let's go!"

The tiger watched as Sheafield really left with a bunch of rubbish, and before he had time to be happy—

Bang-!
The door of the Sable Gang was kicked open.

"Looking for death! Who the hell dares——"

Annan led the ten strong guards assigned to him by Renato and broke into the Sable Gang, shouting coldly:

"City Guards, arrest the murderer!"
