Chapter 1385: Bubtney's Progress
Alliance Capital, Rat Street.
Several drunken men were walking down the street, holding each other's shoulders. The smell of alcohol on their bodies overpowered the smell of sweat.
After an exhausting day at work, they decided to relieve all their fatigue with a couple of glasses of foam beer..
Redu was thriving, at least most of its neighborhoods were thriving, but the slums were an integral part of any thriving city. Given the current time and technology, coupled with the rigid customs of the alliance, the crime rate in the slums of the capital was at a rather unpleasant level.
Rat Street, on the other hand, was considered the worst slum among many other slums. Dozens of gangs, large and small, were operating on this street, creating an order that was very different from the order in other slums.
Starting late in the evening, the rat streets began to belong to gangsters and tramps, which is why even law enforcement agencies were advised not to go here without a good reason at night.
In total, there were three rules on this street that couldn't be broken. First: no human trafficking or related businesses, this rule also included organ trafficking and the like. Second, no attacks on ordinary citizens. Third, all skirmishes must be conducted without the use of firearms.
Although the local gangs wanted to ignore all the rules, they did not dare to act too boldly, because they were well aware that the military was the truly terrifying force of the alliance. If they act recklessly, a single battalion will be sent to clean them up and completely eliminate any mention of criminal elements on this entire street within 24 hours.
However, these gangs didn't exist because everyone didn't care about them. They could do things that the alliance officials couldn't do, such as they could use bloody methods to control the refugees. That's why the president turned a blind eye to the rat street gangs.
Since all the local laws were written in blood, as soon as a gang that didn't follow these rules appeared, other gangs, from big to small, would eliminate all the upstarts who didn't follow the rules in a very short period of time.
And now a truck was driving down this street. Su Xiao was sitting in the passenger seat. This truck was sent for by Lezon.
Lezon's intervention in this matter would allow Su Xiao to determine the location of the coordinates faster, so he didn't mind Lezon's help. Whether the instigators of this whole affair were spies from the kingdom or traitors to the alliance, Lezon did not care, for both were enemies to him.
From a broader perspective, Lezon's involvement in this matter would definitely help Su Xiao. Of course, Lezon would get some rewards for his participation and might be able to get a promotion, but that was fine.
Lezon wasn't a saint. He was the head of an intelligence organization. Yes, he liked women, money, and status, but he wasn't blinded by them.
From time to time, Su Xiao would see groups of refugees. They were often dressed in rags and didn't look very good, but there was always a fierce glint in their eyes.
— Can you stop them? "What is it?" asked a homeless man lying on the side of the road, covered with a dirty blanket.
— These are army men.
— OK then. I thought they were people from the capital's security department.
— Someone from the capital's security would dare to come here at such a time?
— Uh-uh, yeah, you're right.
With that, the fierce gleam in the homeless man's eyes faded.
The local inhabitants were like rats that would immediately pounce on "food" as soon as they saw it, regardless of what kind of "food" it was.».
Inside the truck, Su Xiao seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, but in reality, he was communicating with Bubtney.
Bubtney was still in the middle of the snow field, and right now he was busy creating his own pack. He had already managed to recruit the two direwolves who were responsible for the hunt.
He wanted to overthrow the current pack leader and become the new pack leader.
Bubtney decided to act so boldly because Su Xiao sent Amu to help him. The combination of an unusual dog and a bull was a good strength.
According to Bubtney, there was nothing special about the animals of this world, except that some of them were quite intelligent, for example, his current pack had a very well-established hierarchy.
But even though some of the animals were smart and strong, they didn't dare to provoke humans, and they didn't even dare to set foot in human territory. The humans in this world were absolute beings who were supported by armies with advanced developments for this world.
So far, Bubtney was doing well, so Su Xiao didn't plan to interfere with his business just yet. Although Amu was a strong fighter, Su Xiao would soon be heading to the battlefield, a modern battlefield with very serious weapons, and Amu would be a perfect target in such a battlefield.
*Whew~*
The truck suddenly stopped, causing Su Xiao to lean forward slightly.
— Mr. Byakuya, we're here, " the black driver said and smiled, revealing his very white teeth. In the past, he was a beggar, but after moving to the alliance, he began to live quite well.
— Where are we? Su Xiao asked as he opened the car door and stepped out. They were standing in the middle of a not very wide street with two or three-story buildings on either side. The buildings were pitch dark, and every now and then a faint, rancid smell filled his nose, the characteristic smell of a sewer system that wasn't working very well.
— Rat Street, " the driver replied, then got out of the truck, jumped over the stinking ditch, and quickly walked up to the three-story building, whereupon he began knocking rhythmically on the iron door.
Several men in different clothes immediately rushed out of the building. Some of them were dressed as typical construction workers and some as tailors, but in reality they were all agents of the eye.
They quickly pulled two long cloth bags out of the truck. Even though these bags were kicking, these people didn't pay attention at all and calmly brought the bags inside.
Soon, a woman wearing black leather shoes and carrying a cigarette came out of the building. When she saw the bags, she motioned for them to be taken inside.
— Hello, I'm Charlene — " throwing away the cigarette, Charlene introduced herself and nodded to Su Xiao.
— Byakuya, " Su Xiao replied.
— I've heard about you, but I didn't expect us to be able to work together.
Charlene was a beautiful and intelligent-looking woman. If it wasn't for the gun under her long skirt and the three poison needles hidden under her sleeve, she would definitely have been courted by many successful men.
Charlene the poisoner was considered one of Lezon's best spies. It was rumored that she was having an affair with Lezon.
In fact, Lezon would never have made physical contact with this woman because he didn't want to die from some poison.
Dying because he started molesting a woman like that was probably the stupidest way to commit suicide.
— How long will it take?
Su Xiao came here for the sake of getting information from the spy and that bishop.
— It's hard to say for sure. The bishop will be very difficult to deal with.
— How much in the worst case?
Su Xiao didn't have much time left. If they messed around with them for a couple of days, he would have to look for another option.
— In the worst case scenario? Charlene thought for a moment and said — " If we use the extreme method, no more than twelve hours.
— Su Xiao replied and walked towards the three-story building.
As he reached the door, he vaguely heard someone crying.
