Urban Pirate World: I am in Zekaido

Among the major forces in Qingcheng, those with silver-level strongmen can be called top forces.

And these top forces can be divided into four levels according to their nature.

The first level is the official forces representing the strongest forces in Qingcheng, including the City Lord's Mansion, Qingcheng Army Branch, Supervisory Department Hao Family, and Finance Department.

The City Lord's Mansion has the highest level of administrative power in Qingcheng, and the City Lord is the nominal highest leader of Qingcheng.

The Qingcheng Army Branch is in charge of the military power of the entire city.

The Supervisory Department headed by the Hao Family controls the law enforcement power of the entire city.

Headed by the Finance Department and its four major banks, they control the economic lifeline of the entire city and hold financial power. The official forces include the City Lord's Mansion, the Supervisory Department and the Army Branch. The salary and food distribution of the staff are all allocated by the Finance Department.

The second level is the large-scale chaebol business groups, such as the Youlong Chamber of Commerce of the Bai Family and the Liu Shi'an Group engaged in the pharmaceutical industry.

The third level is the underground dark forces headed by the three major dark power giants, the Black Heart Society, the SA Contractor Organization, and the Dragon King Hall. These three forces are notorious for engaging in human trafficking, organ transplantation, inhumane biochemical human experiments, and assassinations.

The last category is the armed forces stationed outside the city for a long time, active between the monster defense line and the misty Great Wall. The Blood Wolf Hunter Group that was crippled by Jiang Chen is one of them.

…

The atmosphere at the meeting was a bit dull.

The city lord, who was in the first place, had a dignified look and was intimidating without anger.

City lord: "Such a serious riot, all criminals must be brought to justice! To uphold the prestige of the Han Dynasty! The criminals are powerful, and the army branch also needs to dispatch personnel to participate in the arrest!" The tone was stiff and overbearing, and no room for questioning was allowed.

"The city lord said it well, but as for sending troops, I'm afraid we still have to listen to Minister Duan's opinion."

The representative of the Army Division participating in the parliament fiddled with his nails carelessly and complained in a tone that seemed to be embarrassed. The Army Division is now short of manpower. The minister is leading the team to attack Death Valley. The military budget is insufficient, the staff's salary is low, and it is difficult to recruit people. In a word, spiritual support is available, but physical support is not. He cannot make the decision on this matter. If he wants to mobilize troops, he must ask the minister himself! After all, the person in charge of the military power is their Minister Duan, not the city lord!

"Oh, by the way, Lord City Lord, my department is now fighting outside and is short of manpower. Do you think you can give some support..."

Seeing that the representatives of the Army Division kept arguing and even wanted to ask for people, the city lord had to hold back his anger and turned to look at the Secretary for Finance. Before the city lord could speak, the Secretary had already spoken first.

"Well, City Lord, the Finance Department has no money, and that Black Heart Society still owes us a large amount of loans. They are going to go bankrupt, and all of our officials will be out of money by the end of the year. Moreover, this riot is full of doubts, and it needs to be investigated carefully..."

In a word, our Finance Department does not support the crusade against the Black Heart Society.

Still investigating? Tens of thousands of people have died, and you tell me there is something hidden! It's simply absurd. Do you really think I don't know the disgusting activities of your Finance Department and the Black Heart Society!

The City Lord glanced at the venue with a gloomy look. The heads of various agencies of the Fire Department all bowed their heads and kept silent. Everyone was talking in their hearts. It was a joke. When gods fight, mortals suffer. The president of the Black Heart Society is a third-level master. Among the people present, except for the City Lord and Director Xu of the Finance Department, only the absent Director Hao and Minister Duan could compete with him.

Why would they care? Are they going to die...

The rest of the people saw that the Army Division and the Finance Department had already stated that they refused to fight against the Black Heart Society, so they all changed their minds.

At this time, Principal Situ, the principal of Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School and also the deputy director of the Education Department, stood up angrily, "The Black Heart Society has committed many evil deeds, disregarded the laws of the Han Dynasty, illegally kidnapped students from our school, and set off endless killings. It is simply a crime that cannot be forgiven! It is reported that Jiang Chen, a genius student of our school, bravely rescued the trapped students. Now he is risking his life to entangle the Black Heart Society with Bai Qingxu of Youlong Chamber of Commerce. If we don't support them now, when will we support them! You eat the emperor's salary, but don't think about serving the country. You are timid and cowardly, and you are just a cowardly person who lives a life of shame and shamelessness!"

Situ Liancheng was originally the former head of the Army Division. After being seriously injured and old, he retired to the second line and devoted himself to the education career. He served as the principal of Qingcheng No. 1 Middle School and the deputy director of the Education Department. He had great prestige and seniority. When he spoke, it was like a slap in the face of everyone. He was not polite. Everyone looked extremely ugly, but they couldn't refute it.

Seeing this, the city lord comforted and was very pleased. At the critical moment, the old comrades were still more powerful.

It was indeed a big deal to attack a third-level force, so at the meeting, the city lord's mansion, the army branch, the supervision department and the finance department had the most decision-making power. The education department also had an important vote because of Situ Liancheng. Now the army branch and the finance department just tied with the city lord's mansion and the education department.Now the most crucial vote falls on the Supervisory Department.

"If that's the case, where is the Supervisory Department! Why don't you gather your troops quickly!" Hao Gangduo took sick leave a few days ago. Now who in the Supervisory Department dares to oppose his order as the city lord?

It's time to take back the control of the Supervisory Department.

The city lord thought secretly.

The Supervisory Department, which should have been the city lord's right-hand man among the various cities, has been sidelined for various reasons.

Duan Tianya is the strongest master in Qingcheng, which leads to the Supervisory Department and the Finance Department competing with him in terms of power! As a dignified city lord, the power in his hands is divided into pieces, which is extremely aggrieved.

"I object. The Supervisory Department is undergoing changes and is short of staff. I also know a little about Jiang Chen. He is also very cruel. He once killed ordinary people who were powerless because of a quarrel. We should do as Director Xu said and investigate it thoroughly."

Haose suddenly spoke. The city lord looked up and found that the position of Hao Gang, who should have been the head of the Supervisory Department, was replaced by a young man. The direct officials of the Hao family around him actually took him as the leader.

"Who are you? How dare you discuss the important things in the city!"

"My father, Hao Gang, is the young master of the Hao family. I am attending the meeting on behalf of my father." Haose smiled and clasped his fists.

"What a joke! You are a commoner, with no official position. Everything in the city is up to me and the officials! You are a young boy, and you are the one who is making up lies!"

"The city lord is wrong. I am just conveying my father's message. Everything in the city is naturally up to the city lord, but the matter of the Supervisory Department is in my Hao family!" Hao Se stood up and confronted the city lord without fear.

"How dare you! When did the Supervisory Department become the private property of your Hao family!" The city lord narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous breath flashed across his face.

"Hahaha! Isn't it good for the city lord to sit in that position peacefully? It's better not to dream of some things!" Hao Se showed a mocking look on his face, as if he was mocking the city lord for being ambitious and weak, so he should just be a mascot.

"Do you want to try whether my sword is sharp!" The city lord slammed the table angrily.

"My sword is not bad either!" Hao Se drew out his long sword and confronted.

For a moment, the situation became tense. Seeing this, the guards of the City Lord's Mansion rushed into the meeting room. The generals and officials of the Hao family stood up without saying a word, but Hao Se was the leader.

Seeing that the situation had become serious, the heads of other institutions mediated and dissuaded them.

The City Lord's face was extremely dark and gloomy.

Hao Se sheathed his long sword, snorted coldly and turned around to leave. His second uncle Hao Ren and a group of Hao family officials followed him out in a line.

Everyone also said goodbye. Before leaving, they also saw the face of the City Lord. The heads of various institutions sent some cannon fodder to wait for the City Lord's dispatch. If the City Lord really wanted to attack the Black Heart Society, he would participate in it. Even the Supervisory Department, which had the most fierce arguments, also left a few hundred soldiers in order to avoid any quarrels. Only the Education Department, Situ Liancheng, planned to lead the backbone to go out in full force.

At this point, the meeting ended in vain, leaving the City Lord roaring in anger in the meeting room.
