Alien world

Chapter 948 179. Crazy Expansion
In the last few days before the end of September, nearly half of the southern part of Xing'er City's outer city belonged to the Free Blade.

Francois took some time to deal with and annex all the gangs in the sixteen streets under his control. He then distributed money and food and sent the Salted Fish Gang to patrol day and night, forming a city within a city.

However, this is almost the limit of their quiet development, or the limit of what Spencer can protect - Spencer has been worried these days, always waking up in the middle of the night, and taking the city guards to keep a close eye on the city lord's mansion and important intersections all day to prevent anyone from informing on him. As soon as he opened his eyes, the kingdom's assassin was standing by his bed.

And Francois has recently had some conflicts with Smalling.

The cause was that when the Salted Fish Gang annexed a gang and followed the clues to find the nobleman behind it, Little Smo couldn't help but tortured the nobleman's daughter in the same way for dozens of minutes when he saw her being tortured to death in the nobleman's bedroom. He was stopped by Francois who came with the news.

As the Free Blade expanded, they witnessed the nobles' extravagant lifestyle and more and more dark sides. The mentality of many people gradually changed, and Little Smoo's behavior became more and more radical... until he did this.

Francois logically agreed with Small's lynching - but as a member of the Freedom Blade who implemented the ideals of Liberty City, this was absolutely intolerable.

"You must remember our mission!"

The "small" in Little Smo was due to malnutrition in childhood. He was shorter than Annan, but at this moment, his eyes were firm, as if he was looking at Francois at eye level: "It is precisely because I remember that I cannot stand the aristocrats torturing the common people for fun."

"Rights need shackles. Rights without shackles will only breed corruption. What is the difference between what you did and that nobleman?"

"Then I would rather practice justice in my own way!"

Francois' voice turned cold: "Little Smo, you are still a fool..."

"Olme is just fine, sir!" Lame Babu interrupted Francois's impulsive words.

Francois glanced at him, swallowed back what he was about to say, and said in a cold voice: "Little Smo, you are no longer a centurion. Stay in Salted Fish Street for the next few days and reflect on yourself honestly!"

Little Small went out without saying a word.

Lame Babu sighed, "That child had no ill intentions... He had lived in the slums since he was a child, and was raised by his sister. But one day when he returned home, he saw the door open and a mercenary lying on top of his sister..."

"I know, so he should control himself. If we can't control our emotions, what's the difference between us and beasts?"

The door was opened again, and Spencer walked in: “Are you looking for me?”

"I'm going to meet the deputy city lord."

Spencer was stunned at first, then took a deep breath as if "this day has finally come": "Why?"

"We are too conspicuous. It's time to change to someone more important."

"Then you have the wrong person. I told you that he is a complete politician. Eleven out of ten things he says are lies—"

"I know, but didn't he say he wanted to see me?"

"Didn't I say that he—" Spencer suddenly heard something extra: "You mean...?"

……

Xinger City, City Lord’s Mansion.

The people in the City Lord's Mansion would never have imagined that the guy who followed Spencer in was actually the one from Liberty City who was wanted by the kingdom.

Even the deputy city lord was stunned for a long time after he raised his head: "You guys... are so brave."

"I'm still a little bit inferior to you, Deputy City Lord Dallaire." Francois said with a smile.

The deputy city lord glanced at Spencer who quietly came around to his side, and said calmly: "You took the risk to come to see me, what do you want to tell me?"

"I think you have guessed it... cooperate with us."

"I will not betray the Kingdom of Recanel." Deputy City Lord Dallaire's answer caught Francois off guard. He thought he would bargain, but he didn't expect a straightforward refusal.

Spencer stepped forward and said deliberately: "Deputy City Lord, didn't you hint that I wanted to contact the people of Liberty City?"

"Spencer..." Deputy City Lord Dallaire said in a threatening tone.

"Mr. Deputy City Lord, many people saw me walk into your office." Francois responded with a threat.

"you……"

This was originally a trap Dallaire set for the people of Liberty City, but he didn't expect them to use it to trap him...

"Hmph... I will not surrender no matter what you say. Even if you kill me, you can't escape." Deputy City Lord Dallaire acted uncooperative.

Francois glanced at Spencer, and the city guard officer walked to the window and stared at the corridor outside.

"Let's be frank, Mr. Dallaire. Have you ever heard of the invitation?"

Deputy City Lord Dallaire's eyes moved slightly: "What?"

Francois took out the invitation letter, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of him: "Smart nobles will leave a way out for themselves and their families. As long as you take it, you can be safely taken to Middle-earth with all your property and family and start a new life..."

"We don't need you to do anything, just keep silent. Think about it carefully, do you want to sink with the Kingdom of Rekanel, or stand on the side of all Middle-earth?"

Deputy City Lord Dallaire did not speak, but his eyes fell on the invitation letter...

In a way, nobles are no harder to surrender than commoners. Commoners fear death, while nobles fear the extinction of their families.

"Do nothing?" Deputy City Lord Dallaire asked.

Francois smiled: "Nothing."

Deputy City Lord Dallaire stretched out his hand and pressed on the invitation letter.

"make a deal."

"Pleasant to work with."

……

"I said he was an old fox..." On the way out, Spencer kept criticizing the deputy city lord: "He wanted to agree a long time ago, but he just wanted to see what benefits you could offer...Does he have the same recommendation letter as me?"

"They are different. You are a letter of recommendation, and he is a letter of invitation."

After returning, the Free Blade began to mobilize, and the Salted Fish Gang attacked everywhere to seize territory from other gangs.

Complaints from the nobles behind the gang flew like snowflakes to the City Lord's Mansion, but in the end, there was no response.

Deputy Mayor Dallaire fulfilled their agreement: do nothing.

A huge map of Xing'er City was hung on the wall of the Salted Fish Gang's house. At this moment, Francois transformed himself into a painter, painting the intricate southern part of the outer city over and over again.

Looking at the south that was about to be completely dyed with color, Francois felt inexplicably emotional.

He thought the undercover mission would be difficult, and even prepared to die here. He didn't expect that after a little difficulty at the beginning, it would snowball, and everyone was scrambling to jump off the big ship...

The current Kingdom of Rekanel seems to be a wall of snow, and it only needs a slight push...
