I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 709 Mo Jiajia is missing

In the end, Latia fled in panic. It was hard to tell whether it was because of shame or the last struggle of her sense of morality.

Sean did not chase after her. It was enough to put pressure on her at the right time. If he continued to put pressure on her, given Latia's psychological endurance, he would end up with nothing.

In the world above the wasteland, Latia is probably one of the people with the highest sense of morality. After all, she is half-human.

Feeling at ease and satisfied, Sean stood on the wall for a while to get some fresh air and then went back. If you asked him what he was going back for, the answer was of course... to look for Qiong Ying again.

The unknown god deep in the earth's crust is still reviving. At this moment, Sean is not planning to return to the imperial capital. He will just wait in Paradise City until the other party revives.

After spending a few extremely decadent and absurd days with Qiong Ying, new news came from the City Lord's Mansion.

"Our people are missing?" Looking at the report sent by Illya, Sean showed a slightly strange expression.

This group of people who have lost contact are an expatriate team from Paradise City. Their main members are basically from the Golden Ghosts with better combat effectiveness. This group of people has only one main goal, which is to establish "diplomatic relations" with the surrounding forces of all sizes.

The so-called diplomacy is the big fish eating the small fish. Now there is only one big shark, Paradise City, in this water, so naturally it will eat all the big and small ones.

The place where the dispatched team that lost contact this time went was Paradise City’s old neighbor - the Sunken Port.

The Sunken Port is a relatively rare port city in the wasteland world. It was formerly a huge shelter.

Relying on its strong foundation and extremely rare safe coastline, Sunken Port has slowly developed and is considered one of the strongest among Paradise City’s many neighbors.

But that was just before. At first, after the explosion in Paradise City, Sean came up with a series of plans to recruit a large number of technical personnel from Sunken Port. Afterwards, the unwilling Sunken Port tried to fight back, but Sean happened to be out, leaving only the most unreasonable boss Jin Kui at home.

After being beaten several times, Sunken Port became completely obedient. After that, Paradise City developed rapidly, and the strength of Sean and others increased greatly, so the opponent no longer had any confidence to challenge them.

Today, Tianyang City has started the process of annexation, and the nearby sunken port is naturally one of the early targets.

The team sent out this time was to give the other party a "notice". If they were honest and obedient, the entire Sunken Port could be considered a satellite city of Paradise City. If they were disobedient, they would be reduced to slaves like the believers of the Self Religion.

This kind of thing is normal. Sean also learned the news, but he didn't take it to heart at all - the city lord and deputy city lord of Sunken Harbor are the last two strong men there, one is middle-level crimson and the other is lower-level crimson. Such people can't make any waves in front of Paradise City.

Therefore, the team was full of confidence before setting off. Even Illya believed that Sunken Harbor would at most gain some benefits and then be obedient.

Unexpectedly, the team that was supposed to return three days ago was missing, and there was no news from the support team that was sent out.

However, generally speaking, this kind of thing is not worth Sean's personal involvement. The main reason why Illya came to him was because of someone on the missing list.

"Yes, Miss Jia Jia is also in the team..." Illya's face looked a little ugly.

Mo Jiajia, the biological sister of Sean’s life and death brother Mo Zha.

There are three girls that Jin Gui favors the most, Mo Jiajia, Huang Mu and Xiao Ci. Huang Mu is a pure loli who stays up late, a lazy ghost, and everyone follows her thoughts and lets her mess around, while Xiao Ci follows Xiao En all the time without any worries.

Only Mo Jiajia, whether it is Jin Kui or Sean, is trained as the next successor of Jin Gui, and even though she is young, they will let her participate in various things.

The team was sent out this time in the name of negotiations, but in fact they were going to issue an ultimatum. Theoretically, the other party would not have the intention to resist, and there was nothing wrong with Mo Jiajia going there to learn how to deal with various things.

This is why Illya agreed to let Mo Jiajia join the team. Of course, she had no right to say no to Miss Golden Ghost.

But she didn't expect that the team would disappear inexplicably, and Mo Jiajia would disappear as well.

Knowing the position of Mo Jiajia in Sean's heart, Illya was extremely nervous at the moment, worried that Mr. Sean would be furious.

Sean's expression remained unchanged. He just glanced at the report and stood up after a moment.

"Notify the city defense forces and the Golden Ghosts to gather in an hour and head to the Sunken Port."

Illya, who was not angered, felt relieved. She nodded and asked, "Mr. Sean, are we going to attack the sinking port?"

"Attack?" Sean just smiled disdainfully.

"I asked you to gather people so that you could collect the bodies."

Illya's breath was suddenly caught in her throat.

……

As a large port city, the urban style of Sunken Port is similar to that of the former Paradise City in most areas, with the decadent red-light district, the dirty and chaotic downtown area, and the bright and beautiful upper town area. The scenery here is exactly the same as that of Paradise City a few years ago.

The biggest difference is in the port area.

Mad beasts are everywhere, except for the coastline where the sunken port is located. Ordinary city residents will not encounter danger as long as they do not go to the deep sea area, and the large fleet of ships in the port will go back and forth on the edge of the deep sea area, which can also ensure the safety of ships.

Thanks to its superior geographical conditions, the Sunken Port not only provides an additional resource point, but also enables more efficient trade with other cities through sea transportation.

It is now evening, the ships on the sea are starting to return, and the porters at the docks are starting to go to work.

In the past, the Sunken Port had its own currency, but the growth of its neighbor Paradise City made it impossible for the Sunken Port to support its own currency system. Nowadays, the port pays wages using the credit points of Paradise City.

From four in the afternoon to eight in the evening, four hours of intensive moving work can earn the workers twenty credit points, which is exactly five credit points per hour.

A few years ago, their income could have doubled, but now, Paradise City was like a huge whirlpool on the sea that sucked in all the surrounding resources, and the days in Sunken Port were becoming increasingly difficult.

A porter put down the heavy box on his shoulders and gasped.

The box was heavier than before, but this was just the beginning. He couldn't help but complain to his companions: "The workload is so much greater than before, but the salary has been cut in half. It's really fucking hell..."

His companion couldn't help but sigh: "Ever since Paradise City started to expand rapidly, our lives have become increasingly difficult... Shit."

Even though they complained, the two men did not stop walking. The 'kind' freight boss would not pay them piece-rate wages - each porter had a fixed quota to be completed, which was almost stuck at the upper limit of their physical strength. If they could not complete it, they would not get a penny.

Even so, porters are a job that many people envy. The docks have a stable cargo throughput every day, and porters can at least guarantee that they will receive credit points every day.

In the downtown area, if you are unlucky, you can't even earn five credit points a day, which is enough to fill your stomach.

When they are tired of moving goods, the porters will lean against the cargo lane to take a rest, and the older ones can't help but recall the glory of the past.

"Five years ago, even if I was busy all night, I still had the energy to get into bed with a woman. When there was a lot of goods, the boss would even give us a midnight snack, which sometimes had some oil on it."

When the newcomers hear the old seniors reminiscing about the past, they immediately show envy: "I heard that the salary was higher in the past? You can support two sons by working in one night?"

The old porter would immediately straighten his chest and say: "My three sons had meat to eat every day, all because of me moving it!"

At this time, someone would often tease: "What about your three sons?"

The old porter lowered his head and said, "He died. He wanted to make a lot of money when the city was in chaos a few years ago, but he didn't make any money and was caught by human traffickers. In the end, no one knows where he died."

The people around him burst into laughter without any sympathy.

Even the old porter only showed a little regret and was not too sad.

Continuing one's genes is an instinct engraved in the human body, but the death of the next generation has become a daily occurrence in this land.

What to do if your son dies? Just give birth to another one.

The old porter who was speaking already had a child again, but he could no longer fill the boy's stomach like before.

But the family still needs to be supported, and this work still needs to be done.

After a few sighs, someone else couldn't help but sigh: "At first, we heard from Paradise City that anyone who was willing to work could go there to work, and the first batch of people who went there would receive no special treatment... Damn it, I just knew I would be so cruel and move there with my wife and son."

At this point, the old porter felt even more regretful: "Who said it wasn't true? But what was the rumor about Paradise City at that time? There was a huge explosion in the city, poison gas leaks, and crazy beasts ran into the streets to eat people! Who would dare to go... The Sunken Port is not close to that place. If you encounter an accident on the way, don't even mention your savings, you will lose your life."

Someone said sourly, "Isn't it Lao Hu who was with us before? He got seriously ill and his boss didn't want him anymore. He had no choice but to take a chance and go to Paradise City. Damn, Lao Hu brought people back last year and said he wanted to move his parents' ashes there. Wow, that set of clothes."

Another person's eyes were full of envy: "Who said it wasn't? I was right next to Lao Hu at the time. Wow, that piece of clothing can actually adjust the temperature by itself. How expensive must it be? With Lao Hu's salary before he got sick, he couldn't afford it even after working for more than ten years, right?"

"That's right. I heard that Lao Hu was praised as a model because he left early, and he's living a very carefree life. Tsk, he came back to move his parents' ashes? Bullshit! I saw it with my own eyes. His parents were eaten by the crazy beast, and two pieces of clothing were buried in the public cemetery. What ashes are there? He just came back for us to see..."

Several senior members were jealous and envious, and a young man asked curiously, "Now that Old Hu is back, have you ever tried to go back to Paradise City with him?"

The old porters couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't give a direct answer, but just shouted weird words like "Who wants to be bullied?"

However, one thing they knew very well was that that night, many people went to find Lao Hu secretly, hoping to ask him for help, and some even wanted to rob something from Lao Hu.

However, the people Lao Hu brought back were kicked over by some guys with bad intentions. After asking, they found out that they were the bodyguards hired by Lao Hu!
And this bodyguard was actually hired by him outside the city of Paradise by spending some damn points. He was very cheap.

The reason why the bodyguard was so concerned about the points was because the admission procedure to Paradise City was extremely strict at that time - even bodyguards who were good at fighting couldn't enter the city, so how could a group of porters with only a little strength like them stand a chance?

I gave up the idea, but who could have imagined that life in this sinking harbor would become more and more difficult day by day.

Now that I think about it, I should have begged Lao Hu to go back to Paradise City with me and give it a try...

Several people were secretly regretting, and the young man continued: "I heard that Paradise City is even more powerful now. The legendary evil nightmare - his name is Sean, right? I heard that his strength is terrifying. Hey, do you think that Paradise City has never thought of taking over our Sunken Port?"

The old porter said uncertainly, "Recruit us? Isn't it enough that they live a good life themselves? Isn't it because of Paradise City that our lives are so hard now? Besides, if we really want to recruit us, the city lord won't be willing. He is the emperor now, so if he is recruited, won't he be his little brother?"

The young man immediately shook his head: "The city lord must be able to beat him. Sean is so powerful, he must be stronger than our city lord, right?"

The old porter thought for a moment and denied it, "Not necessarily? I heard that the aura emitted by the city lord alone can make our strongest guy faint instantly. If he gets close, he will turn into a monster directly."

The others suddenly realized: "No wonder the city lord always stood far away when he spoke before. We can only see his appearance on the big screen."

The old porter continued, "Besides, although they are neighbors, the distance between Sunken Port and Paradise City is quite far. If Sean were to bring his men over, how many issues would he have to consider?"

The young man said uncertainly: "I heard that at their level, they can all fly, right?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" The old porter rolled his eyes. "There's the Evil Dome in the sky, and there are flying crazy beasts. Besides, there's also the deputy city lord in the Sunken Port, who's only slightly weaker than the city lord. So no matter how powerful Sean is, he can't fight two of them at once, right?"

What he said made a lot of sense, and the people around him couldn't help but nod in agreement, and someone even added:
"I saw the deputy city lord last time. He could fly. I heard he was a veto. He had a pair of big wings made of steel on his back. He flew over my head. Wow, the flames from his butt almost lit up the sky... Oh, yes, you see, that's it!"

As the man spoke, he began to shout and pointed upwards.

Everyone looked up and saw a dazzling light streak across the air, almost splitting the dark sky in half.

"Deputy City Lord?!" everyone exclaimed.

But, as I watched, something seemed to be wrong.

That light...why is it heading straight for the pier? !
