Battle of the Two Cities: From Zaun to the Void

Chapter 78 Panicked Max
"cough!"

Du Wenkai coughed violently, which instantly attracted Max's attention.

Max was holding back his anger and had nowhere to vent it. When he heard Du Wenkai's movement, he seemed to have found an outlet, and turned around with a "huh".

"Do you have anything to say? Rat in the gutter."

Holding a pipe in his hand, Max looked down at Du Wenkai.

Beside Max.

The two following law enforcement officers have raised their rifles.

Du Wenkai raised his eyebrows.

He didn't intend to speak, but since he was named by Max, he can't be a deaf-mute.

So, Du Wenkai slowly asked:

"Your name is Thomas?"

"Max." Max corrected with a straight face.

Du Wenkai smiled, "It doesn't matter what it's called, I'm afraid Grayson didn't know you broke into Fulgan's Tavern without authorization?"

Grayson is the Sheriff of the Pittsburgh Marshals, the number one leader of the Marshals' ranks, answerable only to the Uptown Council.

but.

Some sort of illicit relationship had been maintained between Grayson and Vander.

This is why.

After knowing that it was Jinx and the others who caused the trouble, Grayson did not rush into Forgan's Tavern immediately.

Instead, report directly to the city council, hoping to stop all search operations.

The reason is that the public has been frightened by the frequent presence of law enforcement officials.

but.

Max, eager for a promotion, thinks otherwise.

Max wants to catch the killer himself and report directly to the Council, bypassing Grayson.

Thus.

Max has every chance to take Grayson's place and become the new Sheriff before Evolution Day.

But if the murderer is not caught, Grayson will also know the news of Max's unauthorized actions.

I'm afraid Max's life will not be easy in the future...

It was Du Wenkai's thought of this level that he directly named Grayson.

Max took a step back.

"The law enforcement officer handles the case, and there is no room for you to intervene."

"It's too late for me to interrupt." Du Wenkai took a step forward.

"but if……"

"Du Wenkai." Before Du Wenkai finished speaking, he was pulled by Fandre.

"Enough." Van der shook his head, signaling Du Wenkai not to confront the law enforcement officer.

Du Wenkai looked at Van der in turn.

"Wei is right. It is difficult for a person to stand up after kneeling for a long time."

"I..." Van der wanted to speak, but Du Wenkai didn't give Van der any chance at all.

"I understand your desire to maintain the status quo."

"But the status quo is not that the law enforcement officers will not let go if they can't catch someone."

"The status quo is that the public has already complained about the extensive searches by law enforcement officers."

"Member Meyer, Senator Polpok, there have been several votes in parliament to stop the search."

Du Wenkai poked Max's nose as he spoke.

"You entered the tavern without permission to conduct a search behind the council's back."

"It has seriously violated the rules of the upper city."

"As long as we report it to the congressman, I promise you won't be able to afford it!"

When Du Wenkai said something, not only Max was sweating profusely from fright, but even the other two law enforcement officers wearing respirators panicked.

"Max, didn't you say we have a search warrant?"

"Max, you actually carried out the search behind the back of the parliament, and you've done us a disservice."

"No, I'm going to report to the chief of the police immediately and report to the councilor."

In the original book, after Max searched the tavern and went back, he was scolded by Grayson solidly.

However, Grayson carried the matter down, and Max was not punished, but intensified.

"No!"

Max panicked and quickly grabbed the two colleagues.

"Leave this matter to me, and I guarantee that you will not be punished in any way."

"Not always."

Du Wenkai smiled and raised the wine glass in his hand.

"So many people present have heard it."

Customers in the tavern raised their glasses.

"It's easy to get in, but hard to get out."

"It's easy for us to keep silent."

"Let's go alone."

"Ha ha ha ha."

at once.

The tavern burst into laughter.

This is the first time that the people of Dicheng have seen the law enforcement officer deflated.

Therefore, the customers in the tavern were all very excited.

Some people whistled, others barked like dogs.

Only melon seeds and peanuts are left on the table.

Max was so nervous that his face turned red, and white smoke came out of his nostrils.

"What are you going to do?"

Max asked Du Wenkai that he had never thought that a person from the bottom city could have insight into the situation of the upper city council.

If Du Wenkai hadn't named several members of parliament.

Max wouldn't waver at all.

But now.

Max was afraid that his unauthorized search would be discovered by Parliament.

At that time, I am afraid that he will not even be able to keep his current position.

The two law enforcement officers behind Max panicked even more.

Although they are under Max.

But he was also unwilling to risk his career with Max.

You must know that once they are eliminated from the ranks of law enforcement officers, they can only serve as guards or spies for the families in the upper city.

Compared with law enforcement officers, these errands are not so glamorous.

"Let's go now, right now."

A law enforcement officer is about to leave immediately, despite Max's dissuasion.

At this moment.

Four tavern customers walked out of the crowd and stopped at the entrance of the tavern.

"It's all here, how can you just leave as soon as you say it?"

"Weren't you quite arrogant just now? Why are you planning to run away now!"

"Play with us, and maybe let you go out."

"Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your job as a master."

The people of the bottom city are not fools.

On the contrary, they are very smart to survive in such a harsh environment.

Du Wenkai awakened the dreamer with one word, exposed Max's old background, and aroused the revenge psychology of customers.

"You, what are you going to do!"

"I warn you, I am a law enforcement officer!"

"If something goes wrong in the tavern, none of you can get away with it!"

Although Max was embarrassed, he was not stupid, and he knew to lift his hat out.

"Let them go..."

At this time, Vander, who had been standing behind the bar, spoke.

"Let them go, as if they never came."

As soon as the words came out, although the customers blocking the door were reluctant, they moved away to let the three of Max pass.

Max turned pale with anger, turned around and glanced at Du Wenkai before leaving.

"Boy, I remember you!"

Du Wenkai shrugged indifferently.

Law enforcement officer, it's not like he never killed.

As for Van der letting go of several law enforcement officers... Although Du Wenkai disagrees.

But didn't say much.

Because what he said was just speculation based on the original plot.

If you really want him to sue, he really has no way out.

However, just now at least everyone in the tavern could understand a little bit.

Du Wenkai knocked on the table, raised his glass to face the crowd, and said:

"Lawmen are people."

"Human beings have weaknesses."

"As long as you identify their weaknesses, no one is invincible!"
