Black Sail

The East Coast Idea King, an almost forgotten setup, once again displayed incredible might.

Celeste and Ox took over matters here and even stationed a lawyer permanently for legal consultation.

That's right.

In Rein's current spiritual hometown, the profession of lawyer has room to exist.

After talking the whole night with the lawyer with gold-rimmed glasses, Shadi, despite understanding only 80% of what was said, reached a conclusion.

Whitman is patriotic.

Within the Luogu Government, there are conservative and radical factions. No matter how much Whitman pulls, he is ultimately a Luoguo native and cannot be easily removed. Even if Liszt is fierce, he is ultimately not of our kind and cannot be placed in this position.

In deeper power struggles, it's the Intelligence Bureau faction where Celeste belongs versus other department factions, in a contest over parliamentary budget approvals and influence.

So, Shadi perceived it as Lord Londen City targeting Raid Version 2.0.

In Luoguo, one must value jurisprudence. Only playing with martial arts won't suffice; you also need to engage in civil battles. Without mastering both civil and martial governance, black societies will always remain black societies.

In the development of this country.

The morality of the masses now supports cracking down on the black society, but the morality of the nobles evidently hasn't caught up.

After the constitutional change in Lostra, the Old Luogu Upper Three Flags is even worse off than Aran's "Lord's Bill."

In Aran, the lords could still rely on land and the management commission given by the Royal Court to act as wealthy squires, while Luoguo did away with it. There is no concept of a Provincial Duke; all land assets have been nationalized, and regional leaders are directly appointed by the parliament.

A hundred returns ninety-five to me; you're aware of my methods. Don't waste the remaining five. Tomorrow you have a tax of four point eight, and don't touch the two dimes; I might need them later.

This isn't just being ruined; it's becoming outright foolish.

In the power transition from Old Aran to New Aran, intellectuals from the Eternal Sect filled the power voids.

So, in the power transition of Luoguo, what fills the vacuum has become apparent.

Despite legislatively fighting the black society,

many things, like the beef on noodle packaging, only exist on paper.

At the time of the constitutional change, the Luoguo Upper Three Flags corrupted, and whoever dared speak for justice or the invincible battle was over. Then the Luogu Government neither wanted nor could manage it.

Now they can manage it, but the version is different.

Aran has its specialty of anti-imperialists, and Luoguo has its specialty of the Black Society.

Of course, after the Luogu Government improved, it also cracked down on the black society comprehensively, but this entity, to eliminate it completely, would be fatal; the network of interest exchanges was already a tangled mess. Ultimately, it would be a joke if it was found out that the Empress is part of the black society. It's crucial to leave some leeway and not pursue the desperate, always providing the enemy with a lifeline, preventing them from going all out and exploding with force.

The so-called all-out crackdown eventually evolved into a black society industry transformation, being recruited into the grey industry, kept within acceptable limits by Lostra.

In other words, this country lacks a narrowly defined black society, only a broadly defined one.

Shadi roughly understood how to play the current scenario.

Liszt only cooperates with certain officials of Lostra, not the entire country.

Celeste's attitude is also ambiguous. They reaped all benefits and supported you in the East Sea, provided Mulong's resources, and offered political asylum. Alicia, Liszt eventually couldn't play overseas and had to be sent here, but that's not enough.

East Sea International is about patriotism.

Only wrapped in this layer, can mutual benefit and win-win situations be fostered. It's not enough just to offer benefits; there must be a return.

Liszt, although resisting the Advancement Movement on the Mulong front line, it's too big of an issue. Resisting this alone is not enough.

The current policy of Lostra is,

some in parliament have decided for you to become the Giant Whale Guest, but it's just a draft. Only by fully assuming the role can the entire parliament reach a consensus to implement it.

Shadi calculated the time; Sister Ai will take at least half a month to arrive. During this period, the path must be paved. If you can't resolve Whitman, why should I believe you can become the Giant Whale Guest?

Therefore, leading the East Sea brothers today to cause a scene, it's not just pure disruption. We have to play intellectually; we are patriotic, and it's not good if we are labeled as a black and evil force.

Three sticks shatter the soul of the Narrow Sea; Officer, I am an East Sea person.

Outside the Magic Banquet Bar.

A bunch of doormen were beaten to have fractured limbs, unable to stand, and wails were everywhere, yet the emphasis was on not seeing blood, not a drop of blood was shed.

However, they didn't touch the Yisu people manager.

Currently, the goal was to intimidate Whitman, and Ox's identity was not to be messed with, but these Western Continent faces could be messed with, categorized as internal issues to be resolved internally.

The Black Sail group could totally kill all of Whitman's people, but they shouldn't do that. Using violence to ascend to power and ascending within the establishment are two entirely different matters.

The Giant Whale Guest is risking his life on the East Sea trying to prove that Liszt's position is unstable, and Liszt, vice versa, also needs to prove his position is unstable.

The Pirate King's meaning is.

To maintain their interests in the Narrow Sea, countries need armed forces.

But once the navy opens fire, it's a formal war, which is obviously undesirable.

Thus, countries crazily issued privateer certificates, allowing civilian armed organizations to handle matters. The old Narrow Sea pirates were incorporated and given privateer certificates.

And those managing these pirates with privateer certificates, serving as the strategic commander of civilian armed forces, are called the Pirate King.

The current Pirate King of Lostra is Whitman, who knows his position is under threat and draws closer to the Giant Whale Guest.

Liszt also needs to prove Whitman's position is unstable.

In a country that prides itself on jurisprudence, taking out his people won't do. Those can be bought over; you need to take out his money.

Shadi signaled with his hand to stop, telling these East Sea desperados to cease fighting, lest they truly kill someone.

Surprising the Yisu people manager, after tidying up the security forces, this group didn't storm in for a ransack but stayed outside.

In other countries, people flee as far as possible during such gang encounters, but Wind Anchor's citizens understand the rules here; it doesn't affect ordinary people, who stand aside watching the fun.

Then Shadi gave Rein a look.

Rein directly pulled out a document.

Many terms on it were too hard for Rein to read, only having a vague understanding towards the overall direction.

"According to the safety management regulations, uh, anyway, your damn Magic Banquet Bar has fire hazards, requiring a week-long shutdown for rectification. And the legal person of this bar, Duval, should be you, right? Violent resistance to law enforcement, penalty added."

Rein unfolded the document for the Yisu person to see, of course, the penalty added part was made up as a bluff from reading some novels.

Whitman has people above him, so does Liszt. Getting someone from the fire department to make a document like this isn't a big deal.

Shutdown for rectification for a week?

In the fiercely competitive Heroic Avenue, it's like directly pronouncing a death sentence.

Duval took a look at the document. The stamp on it was genuine. Besides, damn that violent resistance to law enforcement, weren't you this bunch causing chaos first?

He twitchingly smiled, not foreseeing such an event, the supposed security was just local thugs gathered, which explains being easily overpowered.

But Whitman's side now already knows, and the experts dispatched are on their way.

For now, time must be delayed.

"The document is indeed real, but it requires an enforcement department to come. Who are you anyway?"

Duval wasn't buying it and needed to overcome this difficulty.

Once the experts arrive, though they cannot violently resist law enforcement, there are methods to deal with this group.
