Ling Cage: I come from Hisakawa

Chapter 198 Morgan: Why are all the people we've arrested Bai Yuetian's friends?
"Mark, you've disappointed me greatly."

Morgan's face was etched with worry; he was turned to the side by the light, the shadows of his hair and nose obscuring his face.

His face was as dark as a storm cloud.

“Since you’ve started this, you should see it through to the end. Otherwise, don’t do it at all. You don’t even understand this simple principle. You’re so indecisive. How can I entrust the lighthouse to you?”

Mark had already laid down his weapon.

The hunters also stopped resisting at Mark's command, extending their hands so that the city guards could handcuff them one by one.

After a chaotic gunfight, almost everyone was unharmed, with only a few unlucky ones getting scratched by stray bullets flying through the corridor and bleeding a little, but it was nothing serious.

The whole thing seemed like a farce.

Morgan glared at Mark, who was bowing his head and remaining silent, his face showing not only anger but also a hint of disappointment at Mark's lack of ambition.

"Sigh," Victor sighed softly.

Mark led the hunters to surround the medical department and forcibly rescue Bai Yuetian, which can be considered a mutiny in some ways.

But Mark only saved people; he didn't do anything else.

They surrendered without a fight!

This put Morgan in a difficult position.

"You have the guts to threaten me with the Hunters, but why don't you dare shoot me?"

Morgan said angrily, "If I were you, I would shoot the city lord dead and become the city lord myself. Everything would go smoothly then!"

"Don't you have the guts?"

"I don't have the guts! How could I possibly do something like that!"

Mark remained silent.

Morgan gritted his teeth and said, "You three sisters are just like your brother, brainless, reckless, naive, and only have your own limited opinions, completely disregarding the big picture!"

Who suffered the most when Mark staged a coup and surrendered?

Was it Bai Yuetian who was rescued?

The hunters who helped Mark cause trouble?
Or perhaps it was Mark himself who became a prisoner?

neither!
The person who is suffering the most right now is Morgan, who is "suppressing the rebellion".

He felt a surge of energy in his chest, almost bursting his rotten body. Even when he fainted in the council hall a few days ago, he felt far worse than he did now.

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

"idiot!"

Morgan was so angry that he cursed loudly, spitting on Mark, but Mark remained unmoved.

At this moment, Morgan was so angry that he almost fainted.

He exposed Bai Yuetian's identity and even planned to detain Bai Yuetian indefinitely, which meant that the Lighthouse had seriously offended the Jiuchuan Defense Force.

This was nothing.

Because as long as he holds the trump card of Bai Yuetian, the Lighthouse will not only be safe, but will also be profitable.

But Mark actually came to save Bai Yuetian!
Saving Bai Yuetian would be fine, but it would only mean that Bai Yuetian would escape back to Jiuchuan Defense.

At this point, if Mark were to harden his heart and shoot him dead, or at least arrest him and take over as the city lord, he could use the favor of rescuing Bai Yuetian to resolve the conflict between the Lighthouse and Jiuchuan Defense, and even seek some benefits for the Lighthouse.

To be honest, for Hisakawa Defense, there was really nothing they wanted to gain from the lighthouse.

What's the point?
Is the flavor of Tuchong cake unique?
Are the three laws of the diagram utterly inhumane?
The picture shows more than 10,000 mouths starving for food.
Only the Kloto system has some value, but it hasn't been used for many years since it crashed. Placing it on the lighthouse would just be a waste of electricity. If Hisakawa Defense Regiment wants it, they can give it to them.

As for the Abyss Warrior Armor, at best it's simply being returned to its rightful owner.

Having resolved the conflict with Hisakawa Defense, the Lighthouse will now begin a new chapter.

Mark didn't do that, though. "If you were planning to surrender from the start, you shouldn't have started!" Morgan glared at Mark's face, getting angrier the more she thought about it.

Alright alright.

If Mark were to kill him without any mercy, he would actually feel disheartened.

Let Bai Yuetian go. He's had enough of living anyway. He can atone with his death. Before he dies, he can make Mark the city lord, which will still resolve the conflict between the Lighthouse and Jiuchuan Defense.

As a result, Mark surrendered!
The hunters are all seasoned veterans who have faced life and death many times. The entrance to the medical department is not large, and explosive weapons cannot be used casually on the lighthouse. As long as Mark is willing, he can hold out for three to five days without any problem.

At that time, he, as the city lord, will reach a reconciliation with Mark.

This would not only resolve the armed conflict on the lighthouse, but also facilitate an agreement to make Mark the successor to the city lord, thus solving future problems.

But Mark offered no resistance whatsoever.

When the city defense troops arrived, they stood guard outside the medical department, not daring to even show their heads. As a result, Mark directly ordered the hunters to surrender.

When the mountain collapsed in front of him, Mark neither took the main road nor the bridge, nor was he willing to swim in the river. He just stood there and waited for the surging rocks to engulf him.

How could he possibly let Mark become the city lord in this situation?

"Lord City Lord, please take care of yourself."

Victor stepped forward to help Morgan up, and whispered, "Mark has surrendered, and the Lighthouse will need you to take charge from now on."

"Take charge of the overall situation?" Morgan looked dejected.

He estimated that it wouldn't be long before the army of Hisakawa Defense Force would come knocking on his door.

Big picture?

There may be no longer any overall situation.

Suddenly, Mark spoke up.

“Lord of the City, please release Dust People 4068, 4079 and 4277. They are Bai Yuetian’s friends. If they die in Dr. Carrie’s laboratory, it will definitely be detrimental to the Lighthouse.”

Mark said in a low voice.

The reason he made what Morgan considered an incredibly foolish decision was simply because he didn't want anyone to get hurt.

Bai Yuetian is a good person. He rescued me this time, so I probably won't take revenge on the Lighthouse in the future.

"Lord of the City, please order their release." Mark was no longer concerned about the punishment he was about to face, but he wanted to do the last thing Bai Yuetian had asked him to do before leaving, so as to avoid any complications later.

“What did you say?” Morgan frowned.

He instructed Dr. Carrie to intensify her research on the Abyssborne and allowed her to conduct experiments on healthy, living adults.

But what a coincidence that they ended up arresting Bai Yuetian's friend?
Mark explained, "The Law Institute has taken three Dust People from the Hanging Quarters, saying they're going to send them to Dr. Carrie's lab."

“No one who was sent there before ever came out alive. These three Dust People are all Bai Yuetian’s friends. Bai Yuetian was worried about them, so he came to find you, and then the incident just happened.”

Morgan's brows were furrowed.

So that's why Bai Yuetian suddenly came to find me.

If this hadn't happened, Bai Yuetian probably wouldn't have contacted me, and we wouldn't have had this conflict.

Since ancient times, things have been accomplished in secrecy.

He wasn't actually prepared to arrest Bai Yuetian; Bai Yuetian just walked right into his trap, and he acted on a whim.

If he were to be fully prepared before taking action, he certainly wouldn't let Mark know and ruin his big plan.

So what a coincidence!
The law firm arrested three people, all of whom were Bai Yuetian's friends.

"Lord City Lord!"

Hurried footsteps sounded at the door, and Charles, with his full head of blond hair, appeared at the corner.

"The traitor Mark must be severely punished!"
