Chapter 223:
Being a senior agent at the Federal Bureau of Investigation wasn't a job everyone envied, because it was extremely dangerous.
The Baylor Federation wasn't a country with strict gun control. This new nation, founded by a group of pirates and destitute nobles, always had a deep-seated culture of plunder and vigilance. The right to legally own firearms and protect oneself and one's property with weapons was enshrined in the constitution from the very beginning.
Throughout the history of the Federation, there were several large-scale debates on gun control, but the pro-gun faction always won. Many people actually knew from the beginning that the anti-gun faction was doomed to fail.
This was because behind these debates, numerous chemical companies and military enterprises supported the pro-gun faction.
The prevalence of weapons in society made every mission terrifying, forcing agents to face life-and-death decisions.
No one knew whether they'd encounter a timid person who wouldn't dare to look them in the eye or a thug who would suddenly pull out a gun and shoot without hesitation.
There was no way to accurately distinguish these people based on the cause of the cases or their appearance!
Every agent was under considerable pressure, and if they didn't want to go crazy, they must find ways to vent these accumulated negative emotions.
Whether it was drinking, indulgence, or psychological counseling, it all cost money.
