Chapter 2534 The City Lord’s Task

John Davis's mission was simple: first, hand over the family property; second, break into the inside.

To hand over the family property, naturally, is not to hand it over to Airicheng, but to liquidate the family property, package it and hand it over to Master Dewey.

There is only one purpose, which is the second point, to penetrate inside.

At first, he had only one purpose in breaking into Master Dewey, and that was to steal information about the magic airship.

However, when he finally stepped onto the threshold of a huge family fortune and entered the service of Master Dewey, he suddenly discovered that the scope of Master Dewey's industry had reached every corner of the Zephyr Continent.

Moreover, there are countless talented craftsmen under Master Dewey who are more capable than him.

For a moment, John Davis's heart went cold.

I thought that Master Dewey was only popular in the magic airship industry. Who would have expected that the industrial chain under his command actually involves almost all industries.

Due to too many dazzling talents, John Davis could only be assigned to the Moonlight City Hotel to engage in grassroots management work.

When he got the letter of appointment, John Davis drank for a day and almost gave up. Fortunately, the then Lord of Airey City sent him a secret message, telling him to be calm. Since he was working at the Moonlight City Hotel, Just work hard, stay safe, and when you get to the highest position, you can continue to serve Airui City.

John Davis is very obedient, works hard every day, is diligent, and is meticulous. He is rated as a model worker and the best employee almost every year.

In fact, I am also confused about this point. Why does John Davis disdain his hometown, his family, and those who truly love and care about him, but prefers to be the loyal dog of Airey City?

Doesn't he know?

The senior officials of Airui City have never treated foreigners as human beings!

At this point, Airei City and York Hancheng have both similarities and differences.

The York Hancheng people do not regard foreigners as human beings, but they view things differently from the high-level officials of Airui City. The York Hancheng people regard the foreigners as savage beasts and believe that they will invade a large number of land that originally belonged to the York Hancheng people. making their living space smaller.

Specifically, it's a bit of forced paranoia.

However, the top management of Airui City treats foreigners as pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep and other livestock, reducing their welfare benefits and squeezing their residual value.

The book returns to its true story.

John Davis worked at the Moonlight City Hotel for more than twenty years and finally climbed to the position of general manager.

In the more than ten years since he took office as the general manager, he has continuously misappropriated the public property of Moonlight City Hotel in his private name, purchased contraband in the name of the hotel, and purchased precious wood from timber merchants in Moonlight City through the hotel's channels. resources, and smuggled all the above items to Airui City.

This move made John Davis deeply appreciated by the two city lords of Airy City, and thus continued to enhance the status of the John Davis family in Airy City.

In fact, to put it bluntly, improving the family's status is nothing more than a glamorous illusion, because no matter how high the family status is improved, his family members can only move within the borders of Airui City and can never leave the borders of Airui City, forever. There is no real freedom.

If I had to use one word to describe his family, it would be - hostages. The entire family is a hostage.

I dare say that as long as John Davis is slightly disloyal and is discovered by Airey City, his family will be in trouble immediately.

As for whether to kill or retain, it all depends on Carter Horton's decision.

sad.

After leaving the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I took a stroll to the headquarters of the Guards, came to the cell, and met John Davis in person again.

His image at the moment is much more submissive, sluggish, and embarrassed than when he was at the Moonlight City Hotel.

I moved a small stool and sat outside the iron fence. I quietly looked at the man in power who once covered the sky with one hand at the Moonlight City Hotel, and found that he was not as evil as I thought.

He is just an ordinary old man with white beard and hair, and his cloudy old eyes are the same as those of any older man, except that his eyes are brighter and his white teeth are more neat.

"John Davis," I murmured, "Arey City has sent an envoy to ask for you."

After listening to my words, his cloudy old eyes suddenly shone with light, and a lot of life returned to his sallow face.

Seeing that he seemed to be struggling to sit up, I continued: "But I refused their request."

John Davis' body suddenly froze, and he stared at me with a pair of eyes full of hatred, like a vicious wolf.

"Are you curious, why should I refuse? Haha, the reason is very simple. I have enmity with Airui City, and Moonlight City also has enmity with Airui City."

Silently meeting his eyes full of hatred, I continued: "You know, there was once a case that made me angry and puzzled. It was the well-known kidnapping case. I personally handled the trial, conviction and execution of that case. field."

I took a breath and exhaled it quietly, and said calmly: "That kidnapping case, from the beginning of the crime, to the disappearance of the children, to when I captured all the suspects, it can be said that the whole case was full of things that made me uneasy. It’s like there is a pair of eyes, always staring at me in the dark.”

Smiling slightly, I said: "John Davis, I think you should be able to understand what I am saying, right?"

"Why should I understand your words?"

His voice was intermittent, so hoarse, and so painful, as if every time he opened his mouth, a strong wind poured in.

"Because you are the real person behind the abduction case!"

Looking at him coldly, I said in a deep voice.

John Davis smiled, his smile was very cold: "I won't do such a low-level thing."

"Really? Really? Really!" I said coldly: "How noble do you really think you are? Do you really dare to promise that everything here has nothing to do with you?"

"Davis, Davis, you don't even dare to admit what you have done, and you still want to compete with Master Dewey? Humph, it's a joke!"

Looking at John Davis' old face that was beginning to twist with a sneer, I continued: "I admit, John Davis, many of your plans look very well-thought-out, especially in terms of assisting human traffickers in abducting children. Your plans It's perfect. If I hadn't had special rights, I'm afraid there would have been a group of innocent elf children trapped in the dark 'hell'."

"Do you have evidence? Huh?"

John Davis cocked his neck and asked me stubbornly.

"Evidence? Of course I have it, but I never show it." I sneered, "Do you think I'm lying? Tricking you?"
