Chapter 294 Kunna and Peter
Kunna was very angry. She killed Vito and took over Vito's industry. She even got the transfer documents of Vito's factory. Everything was going well, but Pete said that those transfer documents were illegal.
No, that bastard didn't say that the transfer documents were illegal, but that Vito's industry was not legal. Fuck, I didn't see him say anything when Vito was alive.
Kunna was very angry.
"Quinna, calm down. I understand your feelings. But no matter how you got the transfer documents from Vito, the slaughterhouse and stone factory in the third block are illegal enterprises."
"And you also know that the development of Caines City has been officially filed. In the development plan, it is impossible to continue to place such factories in the third block. This is also for the good of the town."
Pete, who was blocked by Kunna and his men on the roadside on the main road of the town, advised Kunna with an embarrassed look.
"Vito? Fuck, Mayor Pete, he's dead, you should know he's dead." Kunna said coldly, while several of her men behind her stared at Pete viciously.
The expressions of the people around Kunna were fierce, but in the face of Kunna's scolding, Pete's face briefly flashed with impatience.
In between, Toby, who was wearing a police uniform, frowned slightly because of Kunna's words, and seemed to feel threatened by Kunna and her group. Toby put his right hand on the pistol on his waist.
"Kunna, you are not from the town." Compared with the past, Pete's temperament seemed to be a little tougher.
"Vito is not from the town either." After glancing at Toby, Kunna raised her hand to signal the people behind her to relax, and said to Pete when she told Toby that she was not a threat.
Originally, Vito ran a gang in the town, and both the police and Pete turned a blind eye. They usually chose to ignore the relatively chaotic third block.
At this time, Vito was dead, and Kunna was still sorting out the gangsters in the third block, but Pete jumped out to deny the legitimacy of Vito's industries. His fearless attitude made Kunna feel that her family was the type that was easy to bully in his mind.
"Kunna, as the mayor, I need to consider the town. No matter what happened between you and Vito, the town can no longer be the same as before."
"The third block needs to be transformed. I found investors for the town. Everything I did was for Bear Pig Town, so that the townspeople can still have a place in the future of Caines City. I hope you can understand."
When Pete said this to Kunna, his eyes kept glancing at Toby on the side. Some people stopped to watch in the distance. Rather than saying that Pete was communicating with Kunna, these words seemed to be said to the people around him.
"Oh, for the town? It should be "Degenerate" who came to you, right?" Kunna sneered and looked around.
"Bars, nightclubs, underground boxing matches, trading souls with demons, that's 'degeneration'. Has our mayor told you this? Do you know this?" Kunna raised her voice, causing a commotion around her.
"No, the third block will become a legal entertainment block. Even if it's 'degeneration', no one will agree to any soul trading."
"The wishing demons are all rumors. We can buy some rare items there."
"Everyone knows that the development of 375 will inevitably bring a large number of adventurers to the town. The real harm to us is the demon merchants, and 'degeneration' will sell goods from hell, which can prevent people from summoning demon merchants in the town." Pete retorted loudly.
Demon merchants, as the name suggests, are a kind of demons that travel between hell and the human world. They are more mysterious, will trade with summoners, and sell some things from hell to humans, but usually will not attack humans casually.
However, demon merchants occasionally sell some dangerous items, or deliberately conceal the dangers of some goods, and the transaction currency collected by demon merchants is also not fixed.
They have a broad definition of value, including money, souls, and living beings. They may even ask traders to create disasters in exchange for the goods in their hands.
Therefore, the reputation of demon merchants, let alone among humans, is more likely to be bad even among demons.
Whether it is demon merchants or "nightclub depravity", most people actually have no clear concept of them.
Too few people have seen demon merchants, and not many people are qualified to trade with "depravity".
However, "depravity" has many chain stores in the Federation, which should have a certain legitimacy. The rumor of soul wishing is indeed a bit unreasonable. When hearing Pete talk about it, Kunna couldn't refute it for a while.
"Haha, entertainment venues, you also said that more adventurers will come to the town. What we need is not entertainment venues, but the power to protect ourselves."
"We plan to set up a security company in the third block. It will belong to Bear Pig Town. The procedures for the stone factory and the slaughterhouse are complete, and there is even your signature on it!" Kunna took out a stack of documents and said to Pete, and the voice of the last paragraph was lowered a little.
"No matter how many procedures there are, it won't stand up to scrutiny, you know." Pete also lowered his voice and said to Kunna.
"Investigate? I heard that your investor intends to support your mayoral campaign? Do people in the town know about this, Toby?" Kunna sneered and turned to Toby who was standing aside and asked.
"Damn it, you are spreading rumors! We don't need your security company, we have a guard team." Pete scolded in dissatisfaction, and also looked at Toby.
Toby twitched his lips. As a young man, as a civil servant, he has been following the rules since he was a child. In fact, he doesn't have much feelings for the town. If he can be transferred to a big city for a promotion and a raise, he probably will be happy to pack up and leave.
Expect civil servants to protect local interests? Don't make a fuss...
Compared with the security company that Kunna mentioned, to be honest, Toby is more curious and interested in the so-called "degeneration".
However, according to Kunna, Pete seems to have handed over a block to outsiders.
During this period, Pete did not discuss with the townspeople, and everyone did not seem to get any substantial benefits, which aroused Toby's disgust. After all, he is also a town person, and it is estimated that there is no chance to go to a big city for a promotion and a raise.
"The police force is now short-staffed. If the city bureau is upgraded in the future, it is not certain how many police forces can be assigned to the town."
Facing the gazes of both parties, Toby said casually, knowing that both parties just used him as a raft, he simply turned his head to the side.
He did not have any ideals of eliminating violence and protecting the good. He joined the police force just to get a salary.
Bear Pig Town was originally relatively closed. If there was a problem in the town, Toby and other policemen would not be as impartial as those outside police.
They are all neighbors. They will see each other every day. This also makes the police force more like a neighborhood committee. As long as there is no vicious incident, most of the cases are mainly mediated.
At this time, as long as Kunna and Pete did not fight, Toby simply stepped back and waited for the two sides to fight out a result.
Since the words have come to this point, standing on the street, both Kunna and Pete deliberately lowered their voices.
There is no way. Strictly speaking, both sides are not very clean.
Kunna is obviously involved in gangs, and Pete's actions are also extremely selfish. The official's "I'm doing this for your own good" will not work with Loren.
"Mayor Pete, since we can get the transfer contract from Vito, we don't mind using Vito's methods for some things." Kunna whispered as she approached Pete.
"Ms. Kunna, the situation is different now. Bear Pig Town is no longer the Bear Pig Town of the past. Even in the past, Vito had to abide by the rules of the town." Pete sneered.
"But I'm not Vito. You should know that I have worked in the Adventurer's Guild for many years."
"And I know Mu Hua very well, very well. By the way, I also know Nick. Do you know who I'm talking about?" Kunna smiled dangerously.
Pete frowned: Nick should refer to the acting mayor of Heyman City. Mu Hua himself is nothing, at least nothing after the project was established in Caines City.
But Mu Hua seems to have a close relationship with the top leaders of the Strategy Association. Combined with the upcoming Strategy Group, although he is not clear about Mu Hua's specific situation, Pete still does not want to provoke Mu Hua.
"Madam, Mr. Nick has no reason to interfere in the affairs of Caines City, and I am also very familiar with Mr. Mu Hua. His household registration is in Bear Pig Town, and he gets along well with many people in the town."
"I think, at any time, we should not listen to one-sided arguments, right?" Pete slowed down his tone and said tentatively.
"You can go and find out, but I don't like others to infringe on my rights, whether it is the mayor or the mayor." Kunna's smile became even more.
"I don't care about any investment plan. The slaughterhouse and the stone factory can be closed, but I can't let anyone deprive me of my land ownership." With a smile on her face, Kunna's eyes flashed with cold light.
Unlike the gentle receptionist in her impression, the dangerous aura of Kunna at this time made Pete's expression stagnant.
Looking directly at Kunna, Pete seemed to have a measure in his mind. Just as Pete was hesitating about how to respond, the roar of a motorcycle sounded from one end of the street.
Motorcycles, fierce horses, and the shouts of cowboys on the street scattered the crowd.
Four people running in a panic were chased by a group of young and strong riders like thugs.
"Toby, stop them!" Everyone looked over, and a rider riding a horse in front with a net gun saw Toby and shouted loudly.
"Shit! Tousante! Are you crazy!?" When Kunna and Pete were stunned, Toby subconsciously drew his gun and cursed.
Guns, knives, electric batons, explosion-proof nets, a group of familiar faces of Toby, either driving motorcycles or riding fierce horses, like rioting cowboys, chasing two men running fast.
And the two fleeing men each had a person in their hands.
The two men who were held by the waist seemed to be more embarrassed than the fleeing people. One of them seemed to have a gunshot wound on his leg. When they saw Toby, they shouted loudly.
"Stop them! We are EWT, stop these thugs!"
Toby was stunned, but the man was too fast and ran in front of Toby in a blink of an eye.
When Toby hesitated whether to shoot, two men with snake eyes flashed and passed by him.
"Puff~!" The net gun attacked, and a large net wrapped Toby tightly.
The iron ball swinging on the edge of the net hit Toby, and Toby groaned in pain.
When Toby fell to the ground, two motorcycles had already accelerated and surpassed Toussaint, who was launching the net. They passed Toby and raised the electric gun that could launch the electric lock towards the fleeing people.
"Fuck!" The tough steel wire net was not comfortable to be tied around his body. He did not dare to struggle hard. Toby fell to the ground and cursed in confusion, but he could only watch more riders pass by him. (End of this chapter)
