Chapter 597 Let Him Die

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

When he received a call from Major General Davis, Chief Philip of the Ancient City Police Department was attending a town hall meeting personally presided over by Mayor Garros of Ancient City.

Mayor Garros has a good reputation in the ancient city, To climb to the position of mayor of America's major cities, He is undoubtedly a very successful politician, In the eyes of the citizens of the ancient city, the mayor, who was extremely concerned about them and appeared in front of the media with a cordial smile every day, was definitely an amiable and respectable high-ranking official. Compared to the previous mayors, his approval rating was undoubtedly the highest.

But only City Hall officials know that, Mayor Carlos' kindness was only a token of how he treated the people, In fact, when he wasn't in front of the camera, Garros' working methods were extremely serious and strict. Since the other party took office, several swift shuffling operations coupled with his stern face every day allowed him to gain more say in the ancient city, and at the same time, he was respected by countless officials of the ancient city.

The phone rang non-stop in the meeting room.

Carlos, who was speaking from the main seat of the conference room, frowned in displeasure. His gaze swept across the room, and his sharp gaze finally fell on Director Philip's face.

"Philip, you forgot the rules."

Garros stared at his subordinates and said indifferently. His tone was low, carrying a hint of dissatisfaction that wasn't obvious, but it wasn't something that could be ignored.

Garros, who was less than 50 years old this year, had an ordinary figure and appearance. However, he had an aura that no stranger could enter. He had a neat appearance, a serious expression, and a sharp gaze. The first impression he gave off was that the other party was very rigid and difficult to get along with.

"Sorry, Mr. Mayor, it was my negligence."

Director Philip's expression changed as he hurriedly rummaged through his phone.

In the municipal council, Anyone's phone must remain silent, It's a rule set by Carlos, There was a time when a senior deputy mayor disobeyed, Garros reminded him three times in a row, Not only did the other party not listen, Instead, he began to provoke even harder, Not long after, the other party's approval rating suddenly plummeted. Under the tremendous pressure, he could only resign sadly. This matter allowed the senior executives of the ancient city to directly experience Garros' methods and the energy behind them. It was also because of that incident that Garros was able to gain a firm foothold from the ancient city and establish his own prestige.

"Not to be taken as a precedent."

Carlos looked at him calmly.

Director Philip nodded in agreement. He took out his phone and looked at the caller ID. He immediately exclaimed in surprise, "It's Major General Davis!"

Davis!

Carlos's eyelids twitched as he expressionlessly picked up the cup in front of him and drank a mouthful of warm coffee.

The atmosphere in the whole meeting room seemed to have become a little strange.

Demonic Sword Armor Master, Major General Davis.

As the true owner of the ancient city, Davis was a mountain that no mayor could go around, Whether it was the first two mayors, It's still Garros, If you want to maximize your power and influence in the ancient city, that would require Major General Davis' permission and cooperation, In the past few years, Major General Davis and Mayor Garros had a good relationship, both official and private. Davis infiltrated his influence into the City Hall in Garros' compromise, and Garros infiltrated his influence into the entire ancient city with Davis's cooperation.

Absolutely happy to work together.

But this kind of happy cooperation seems to be getting weirder and weirder lately.

Whether it was the fact that Mayor Garros had tactfully rejected the financial needs of the Demonic Sword Armor Master a few days ago or that Mayor Garros had deliberately or unintentionally spoken on some occasions, it seemed to indicate that the honeymoon period of happy cooperation between the two giants of the ancient city seemed to have ended.

At a time like this, it was undoubtedly a large number of ancient city officials who were stuck in the middle.

Philip was one of them.

Everyone looked at Philip sympathetically in a slightly strange silent atmosphere.

Director Phil was also confused, but facing Davis, who had personally promoted him to his current position, he could not help but answer the phone. Cold sweat gradually began to seep out from above his head. His phone still rang persistently, and Mayor Garros' meaningful gaze occasionally swept over, causing Phil's heart to suffer even more.

He understood the meaning behind Garros' gaze. The conflict between the two giants of the ancient city had become more and more obvious recently. Now, this phone call seemed to have become an opportunity to force him to stand in line.

After that, it could be said that Philip still chose Davis and didn't pick him up. Perhaps in the future, he would bear the label of Garros on his body.

Director Philip's breathing gradually became short. When the phone rang for the third time, he suddenly gritted his teeth and directly pressed the answer button.

At that moment, Garros lowered his head and drank coffee. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he immediately lowered his eyelids.

"Hello, General Davis. This is Philip."

Director Philip took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down as he said calmly.

"Philip, what are you doing?! Why did you take so long to answer the phone?!"

As soon as the call was connected, Davis roared out from the phone. His voice was so loud that most of the people in the conference room could hear him clearly.

Director Philip's lips twitched. He felt a chill run down his spine. He was an official who had walked out of the US army. The army he had served in earlier was the Demonic Sword Armor Division. It could be said that he was an old subordinate of Davis. In his impression, every time Davis roared in this tone, he would prove one thing.

That was an accident, and it was a major event!

Philip's expression suddenly became solemn. "General, did something happen to me when I met at the City Hall?"

"City Hall?!"

Davis paused. "Call the police immediately, Move all the people in the station, The first batch of soldiers of the Armored Division will enter the city in about half an hour. In addition, they will inform the media to declare that the city is under martial law. Before the martial law is lifted, everyone is requested to stay at home as far as possible and do so immediately! "

Philip's expression became even more serious. Hearing Davis's words, he nodded without hesitation and said, "Understood. I'll do it immediately."

In his desperation, he seemed to have forgotten that he had to get the mayor's approval for what he was going to do next.

But Garros reminded him, "Wait a minute!"

Philip's hand trembled slightly, and his phone almost fell off.

'"General, I don't understand. Why are you doing this?" Gallos's voice was still ringing in Davis's ears through his phone. Could it be that the ancient city has entered a state of war? All police officers of the police station moved together, evacuating the crowd, sealing off the entrance. The entire city was under martial law, yet they actually wanted the army to directly enter? I'm sorry, but I refuse to cooperate with all your actions without a good reason. This will make the people of the ancient city feel uneasy and insecure. "

Demonic Sword Armor Master.

In the division commander's office.

Davis, who was holding the phone, subconsciously narrowed his eyes.

Hearing the words of the mayor on the other end of the phone, his eyes became even colder.

Carlos, are you really going to part ways with me? !

Recently, Davis could naturally see the subtle attitude of this old friend. Compared to the confusion and confusion of Philip and the others, he even knew the clearest reason.

Because from the very beginning, Carlos and Davis are not exactly on the same side, However, at that time, Davis' boss, Yurisses , was as stable as Mount Tai in the United States. There was even hope that he would continue to hold the highest authority in the United States. With Yurisses ' support and the deterrence of the Demonic Sword Armor Master, Davis's position in the Ancient City was almost unshakable.

In that case, Garros' only choice was to work with Davis. Only in this way would he be able to expand his influence.

Davis had no reason to refuse, but he had not trusted Garros fully from beginning to end.

From the very beginning, he knew that he and Garros could not be united. Behind him was Yurisses's presidential group.

Behind Garros was another American political group.

In fact, Garros had come to the Ancient City for the right to speak in the former capital of the United States.

So while cooperating with Carlos to expand his influence, Davis was also trying to infiltrate the Ancient City's City Hall. The two deputy mayors, the police chief, the immigration department, the court, finance, environmental protection...

Wait, wait, wait.

As long as he had the chance, Davis would plant his own people in every department. Gallos had compromised again and again in his helplessness, and he had gained enormous influence in his helplessness. However, the actual power of the City Hall was firmly in Davis' hands.

Originally, this situation should be maintained in the future, and the two of them would continue to maintain this cooperative relationship.

But something unexpected happened.

The so-called accident was the recent terrorist attack in the US capital!

The terrorist attacks shocked the world and caused the trust of the American people in the government and Yurisses to drop to a freezing point.

The position of president is on the verge of collapse!

This also meant that Davis was about to lose his greatest backer.

This was the best opportunity for Garros, who was already plotting for the right to speak in the Ancient City.

Time and time again and again probed and remained silent. Today, was it finally to the point of tearing one's face apart?

In silence, Davis's expression was a little gloomy. The change in Garros' attitude had already proved a fact.

It was that he had a chip in his hand.

This was also something that made Davis feel helpless.

With the president on the verge of collapse and Davis's future uncertain, some of the people who had been promoted to City Hall over the years would certainly have other thoughts, and they might even have completely taken refuge in Garros.

After all, the representative of the group behind Garros was currently the strongest candidate for the next presidency.

"Mr. Mayor, you should let go of your so-called sense of security, because the ancient city is no longer safe. I have received definite news that a small base in the ancient city has rebelled and has taken refuge in Lin Xuanyuan," Davis said coolly after a long silence. "Lin Xuanyuan has already appeared in the ancient city, so no matter what, the ancient city must enter a state of martial law. Your refusal is meaningless!"

Lin Xuanyuan!

Everyone in the meeting room instantly turned pale.

Everyone would never forget the tragedy that happened in Gao Tan a few days ago. In that tragedy, Mayor Gao Tan had died tragically under Lin Xuanyuan's cannon fire, and his bones were gone!

Carlos suddenly stood up and said in a low voice, "Are you sure?!"

He was not only shocked by Lin Xuanyuan's arrival, he was also shocked by the rebellion at the small base that Davis had mentioned.

Base? !

In the entire ancient city, the only military base on the surface was the Demonic Sword Armor Division.

Garros naturally knew where that so-called small base was.

It was the headquarters of the Angel Organization!

The Archangel of the Angel Organization had betrayed him? !

This wasn't as simple as a few pseudo-X-class experts rebelling, it also included dozens of super elites rebelling together!

Garros' eyes spun rapidly, and it took him a long time to completely digest the news.

He sat back down on the chair and said in a calm tone, "A very surprising piece of news, but we are all sure that this is the revenge of the Divine Continent Empire, isn't it?" The purpose of the Divine Continent Empire was to take revenge on that small base, Now that they had completed their mission, Then I can't imagine the reason why they still stay in the ancient city. General Davis, I agree to let the Demonic Sword Armor Division enter the city, but I still refuse to evacuate the crowd. The impact of this kind of thing is too bad. I can't interfere with the freedom of all the people in the ancient city just because I'm not sure if Lin Xuanyuan is in the city. In that case, I'm under a lot of pressure. "

He was telling the truth.

The whole city is under siege and all people are forbidden from traveling.

This matter involved too many aspects. Once it was implemented, he would be under incomparably tremendous pressure.

Davis was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Philip!"

"Huh?!"

Philip was shocked and subconsciously let out a hum.

Davis lowered his voice and whispered, "Follow my orders and do it now!"

There was no point in Garros' refusal. Davis had already made up his mind that martial law was imperative for the entire city!

"But …"

Philip said subconsciously, his tone somewhat awkward.

"Are you worried about Garros? Don't worry, he won't be able to live long."

Davis chuckled, his tone a little gloomy.

When Lin Xuanyuan came to the ancient city, it was obvious that he was taking revenge on the Angel Organization, but was it really just taking revenge on the Angel Organization? !

During the terrorist attack a day ago in the Divine Continent Empire, several high-ranking officials had died. Davis believed that with Lin Xuanyuan's personality, after destroying the headquarters of the Angel Organization, he would definitely have the courage to launch an attack on a high-ranking official in the ancient city.

Garros, a politician with no strength, could not escape the pursuit of a Paragon of the Dark World!

"This …"

Director Philip was stunned.

"Just let him die."

Davis's deep voice was as if he was muttering to himself, and between the lines, there was a dense aura of death.

"Boom!"

Following his words, a loud noise suddenly came from the entrance of the City Hall. In the next moment, intense gunfire sounded without warning, accompanied by the miserable screams of the City Hall staff, causing one's scalp to go numb.

Garros' expression changed drastically. In almost an instant, he understood who was coming.

Lin Xuanyuan!

You're so fast.

Carlos took a deep breath. He didn't even look at the situation below. He stood up and shouted, "Break up! Let's get out of here!"
