Chapter 153 Comprehensive Retreat

In the main conference room of the municipal building, good news from the front line came frequently.

The red areas representing the fall on the holographic map were decreasing, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

If this trend continues, the impact of the riots should be controllable.

Everyone congratulated Schenkov and praised him for his skillful command. He will definitely be praised after the incident subsides.

A smile finally appeared on Schenkov's face.

But at this moment, an administrative assistant hurried into the conference room: "Mr. Acting Speaker, the Hubin Commercial District Public Security Bureau forwarded a communication. They said that they cannot handle it within their authority and need your intervention."

Schenkov: "Take it over."

This is a holographic image communication. The Crescent City strategic map on the conference table temporarily disappeared, and the light flow converged to form another clear picture.

In the image, a man wearing a haori stood with his back against the wall, smiling.

Muto Toei: "Hello, Schenkov, I am Muto Toei from the Crow's Nest Seven. I speak to you on behalf of the Crow's Nest."

Schenkov recognized this S-class wanted criminal, and being called by his first name by such a person made him a little angry: "What did you say to me?"

Muto Toei: "Crow's Nest wants to have some negotiations with the city council about the future of the border and the inner city."

Schenkov sneered again and again: "I will not negotiate with the thugs. If you dare to openly attack the inner city, just wipe your neck clean and wait for death."

Muto Toei's smile became mysterious: "I advise you not to talk so early. You'd better talk to me, because I have something that interests you."

He waved his hand, and many secondary windows popped up in the holographic image.

Young children appeared on the screen, their eyes wide open helplessly, their faces full of fear and confusion.

The heavily armed Crow's Nest thugs stood nearby, swinging the guns in their hands intentionally or unintentionally, as if to declare that they could take away these weak lives at any time.

When Schenkov was stunned, Muto Toei said with a sly smile: "I am now at the Xinghai Cinema on the 12th floor of the Moonlight Building, and I have all 315 teachers and students of Chiyang Elementary School in my hands."

"Sometimes, I really envy these little guys. Behind them are wealthy parents and in front of them is an extremely glorious road in life. They are destined to become elites from birth and don't have to crawl around in the mud."

"For such noble people, if they are harmed when you are acting as municipal government, do you think there is still hope for your career? Huh? Mr. Acting Speaker~"

The screen kept switching, showing the terrified faces of the children.

Suddenly, the screams of a female congresswoman echoed in the conference room. She pointed at a picture and cried: "My son!!!"

Cold sweat broke out on Schenkov's forehead, and his hands and feet were also cold.

He never expected that when the wolf attacked the broken rust wall, the people from the Crow's Nest would take advantage of the chaos and sneak into the Lakeside Business District and kidnap a group of children.

The target is precisely elite schools like Chiyang Affiliated Primary School.

The kidnapped children are either rich or noble. If any one of them is harmed, it will cause shock in the business and political circles.

The consequences would be fatal.

Muto Toei raised his eyebrows: "How about it, are you willing to negotiate with the thugs now?"

Schenkov's face was extremely ugly: "You can ask for anything, but don't hurt those children."

Muto Toei smiled heartily and said: "Come on, let me tell you the truth. Not long ago, I lost contact with my companions in the Rusty Wall District. I guess it was you who ordered all civilian signals in the Rusty Wall District to be blocked."

"First of all, lift the electromagnetic shielding and allow civilian communications and networks to resume smooth operation to ensure that they are the same as usual."

At this point, Schenkov knew that it was impossible to suppress the matter.

Now there are dangers in any choice, so he can only choose the one with relatively less harm.

He signaled the commander of the electronic countermeasures force to comply, and then said to Muto Toei: "I did as you said."

A few minutes later, Muto Toei contacted his companions in the Rust Wall District, and the network returned to normal. He continued: "Let all the armed forces you sent out cease fire, lift the blockade and retreat."

Schenkov said solemnly: "I can't do this. I can't let the neighborhoods outside the Rusty Wall District fall."

Without saying a word, Muto Toei grabbed a little boy and punched him in the face with his fist.

"Boom!"

The little boy's teeth were knocked out and his mouth was full of blood as he cried.

The conference room was filled with gasps.

Someone trembled and said: "That's the chairman of the Mark Reading Group."

Muto Toei shook off the blood on his hands and threatened coldly: "I advise you not to challenge my patience."

Mark Reading Group is a large listed company and one of the three largest automobile companies in the world.

This is a major local taxpayer in Crescent City. Last year, he donated more than 100 million yuan in political funds to this leadership team, making an important contribution to their victory in the city council election.

Just this simple punch could kill so many people.

The muscles on Schenkov's face twitched. Seeing that Muto Toei was about to arrest a powerful son and beat him again, he almost squeezed out an order from between his teeth: "Instruct all troops to cease fire and withdraw and not to fight with the thugs again." Conflict occurred”

The smile returned to Muto Toei's face: "Very good, you are finally sincere. Then, please contact the various media in Crescent City and ask them to broadcast the conversation between us."

"I want our negotiations to be visible in every column on TV, in every video and on every home page of social networking sites."

Fenghua Road, Xiqiang District.

Ivan had just led the Alpha team to defeat a mob, and was about to pursue the victory when he suddenly received a communication from his superiors.

After hearing the order, Ivan's expression changed: "What? Cease fire and retreat? Are you kidding me?!"

Communication band: "This is an order from the city council, personally issued by Mr. Schenkov. Follow it, Captain Ivan."

Ivan said angrily: "Now all the troops are in good fighting condition. The goddess of victory is on our side. We can completely defeat the thugs in one night at most. I can't understand why we need to cease fire and retreat!"

The voice in the communication frequency band also became louder: "You are the frontline commander, not the decision-maker. You only need to follow orders! Let me say it for the last time, cease fire and retreat! Otherwise, you can wait to go to a military court!"

Communication was unilaterally interrupted.

Ivan roared angrily, kicked the body of the thug next to him, and stood there with gritted teeth.

The anti-riot team member stepped forward and asked: "Captain, what's the order?"

The muscles on Ivan's face twitched, and he said unwillingly: "Give me the order, everyone ceases fire and retreats."

"Ah?!" the anti-riot team member was shocked, "Why?!"

"How do I *Civilization Class Four* know?!" Ivan turned around angrily and yelled at the confused team members, "Retreat!"

Ivan was not the only one who received the order to retreat. All the armed forces involved in the operation to retake the Rusty Wall area received the same order.

The thugs who were about to flee suddenly realized that the group behind them was no longer pursuing them.

Not only did they not pursue him, the opponent was actually actively retreating. The extraordinary warrior who was killing people just now was like a puppy with its tail between its legs.

The thugs initially thought it was some kind of trap and wanted to lure them deep and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.

But after testing later, it was discovered that the other party had really withdrawn without any ambush.

Moreover, all communications that were originally blocked have been restored, whether making phone calls or surfing the Internet, they have returned to normal.

Outside a shopping mall in Rusty Wall District, the thugs gathered here were whispering, but the big screen suddenly lit up, reflecting Muto Toei's face.

It's not just the screen here.

Various TV columns, mobile phone push notifications, video homepages, social homepages, all media channels in Crescent City are showing the same picture at this time.

In the picture, Muto Toei is sitting with his legs together, straightening his back, and saying with a straight face: "Citizens of Crescent City, compatriots on the border, I am Muto Toei of the Crow's Nest Seven."

"Now, on behalf of Crow's Nest, I am officially launching negotiations with the Crescent City Council. If the authorities do not accept the conditions we have proposed, extremely bad consequences will result."
