Alien world

Chapter 1008 Chapter 239. I and the Free Blade are irreconcilable
The woman stared blankly at the title deed that was stuffed into her hand.

Annan continued to ask: "Where is the male owner?"

The girl showed a complicated expression: "Died in your dungeon..."

Annan said nothing, but instead said, "I am here to inform you that I am the new sheriff. From today on, I will be responsible for the security of the three Hot Streets. You can tell us if you encounter any illegal or disorderly behavior."

"I won't disturb your rest. Good night, all three."

Annan politely stepped back and turned to leave.

"Mom, he..."

A cold wind blew by, and the soft conversation was blocked by the closed door.

"Is this why you humans can build a great country?" Maria sighed.

"Why do you say that?"

"You are willing to lend a helping hand to a stranger you have never met, but this will never happen among rat people. Two strange rats will only be wary of and betray each other."

"Maybe."

Annan originally wanted to take over Sheafield and let him develop on Holt Street. However, without the title deed, he could only take his men to seize the territory of the local gang the next day.

Gangs commit many crimes and are a hotbed of chaos. If one gang is attacked, the three Hot Streets will be quiet for a long time. The reason why no one does it is because forces without backgrounds cannot survive.

The nobles did not want to dirty their hands, so they let the gangs do the dirty work for them and they hid behind the scenes to collect the money.

Annan was not afraid of this. When the gang leader called out the nobles behind him, Annan turned his head and said to his men, "Remember? After the interrogation, take the evidence and go find them to cause trouble."

There is no promotion in exchange for cleaning out gangs and nobles, so Annan just cleaned the room.

After vacating the gang's base, he took over Sheafield and gave him an important task: to cooperate with the city guards to control the crime rate in the neighborhood below normal levels, and to search for the trace of the Free Blade.

The city guards are not well-informed, so they need help from people living on the streets.

Next, the residents of the three Hot Streets were surprised to find that the city guards, whom they had never seen before, began to patrol the streets, and the gang thugs who usually wanted to walk sideways all huddled in the corners for fear of being seen.

People carrying money no longer have to worry about pickpockets and highway robbery, and women and girls will no longer be molested or harassed by men when they go out.

All this is thanks to the city guards who patrol the gang's gate and keep a close eye on them.

That evening, Annan held a speech at the fork of three streets. Only a few residents stood in the audience, including the mother and her two daughters from last night.

"I'm Master Olme, the new city guard officer, and I'm here to protect you!" Annan looked around at the few people and said concisely, "You can come to me if you find any illegal behavior. I only do three things in Xinwang: eliminate crime, crack down on gangs, and be irreconcilable with the Free Blade!"

"Thank you, City Guard Officer!"

The people knelt down one after another.

"Stand up, don't kneel!"

Based on this speech, no one can help but call Annan a "firm patriot".

It only took Annan three days to make the three Hot Streets as safe as the inner city, and he only did three things from beginning to end: trouble the gangs, trouble the gangs, and trouble the gangs again. The gangs on Hot Street suffered a devastating disaster, and the new city guard, Olmer, led his men to patrol the streets when he had nothing to do. He would take away any gang members or suspected gang members he met, and then they would come to the gate soon.

They had no way to deal with Young Master Olme. The nobles behind him were afraid of Annan, or rather, they were afraid of the power behind Annan.

Those who were well-informed knew that Master Olme was the nephew of the Minister of Military Affairs, while those who were less informed also realized from the reactions of other nobles and Master Olme's unbridled attitude that he was not someone to be trifled with, and they all tried to get close to him.

The consequence of losing the background is that the gangs disappeared from the three Hot Streets. The consequence of losing the gangs is that the public security in Hot Street improved drastically.

Many residents also flocked to the three Hot Streets to live. Unlike Stinky Sock Street, which is homeless and one of the sources of chaos, those who flocked to Hot Street were ordinary residents who wanted to live a peaceful life.

This includes the Free Blade.

Dirk, the leader of the Freeblades of Stinky Sock Street, came here in person and hit a wall.

Without suffering and oppression, it is difficult for people here to develop rebellious sentiments.

"Is it too risky for us to do this?" The members of Free Blade gathered in the newly rented house. "Master Olme is very hostile to us. He just captured a group of fake Free Blades."

"That's why we're here."

Dirk said: "If we are not willing to take even a little risk, how can we live up to the expectations of Liberty City? Don't forget our oath, use blood to awaken people..."

However, the hard-line approach of attracting members did not work, so they changed their approach: they disguised themselves as businessmen, ran shops, and then helped and developed the poor people who needed help.

Annan found out the day after they moved in. He ignored the Free Blades right under his nose and spent the whole day searching for the Free Blades in other neighborhoods with his men, while also dealing with some problems that he didn't like.

When beating a dog, one must look at the owner first. Annan's actions were undoubtedly over the line, but because of the military minister behind him, it was not worth arguing with Annan for such a small matter. They had no choice but to tell their men to stay away when they saw Annan leading people over, because they were mainly trying to catch the Free Blade.

Annan's crazy behavior also caused the city guards to resent their own actions. If his entire family had not died at the hands of the Free Blade, they would never have hated them so much...

Only a few people who knew the situation were speechless.

Soon, a week had passed since Annan became the city guard officer.

I don’t know if they got the news in advance, but both the real Freedom Blade and the fake Freedom Blade have been hiding their heads during this period, trying not to let Annan find them.

Annan had to figure it out on his own. Speaking of which, I seem to have forgotten something recently...

When Annan returned to the military minister's residence and saw Martin, he remembered what he had forgotten. Martin... Oh Martin, why didn't he use Martin's good luck to find the fake Free Blade?

As a result, Martin, who was only interested for a short time, refused.

"This world is fair. Some are diligent, while others are lazy. Some are geniuses, while others are trash... Why can't that trash be me!?"

"Because you are my cousin."

Annan dragged Martin out of the mansion, first took him around Hot Street, and even walked in front of the True Freedom Blade. As a result, Martin's attention was attracted by the aroma of the bakery across the street.

Without finding the Free Blade, Martin's luck was probably gone. But he did receive a special news: the kingdom would hold a pilgrimage.

At that time, King Clo will tour the new capital.
