"In short, you have absolutely no need to worry. Just relax and enjoy the good things about this era."
Upon hearing what Fulin said, Lin Feng gave up his worries, although he still couldn't understand why the Taylor Group was able to gain control of its own military force after this incident.
Thinking about how the Taylor Group had arranged for him to vacation and relax in this space city, Lin Feng couldn't help but scratch his head in distress.
"Even if you tell me to enjoy, I don't know what to enjoy."
Before becoming a Wallfacer, Lin Feng had enjoyed everything he was entitled to. In the early stages of becoming a Wallfacer, before being targeted for assassination by ETO, Lin Feng also used some privileges to enjoy himself.
Therefore, Lin Feng had no idea what to enjoy, because he was already tired of all these various things. It's like how an emperor would find a Manchu-Han Imperial Feast tiresome.
Suddenly, a voice drew their attention.
"Get out of the way! Make way!"
At the end of the street was another highway, which was lined with people, including many reporters.
A convoy of cars slowly drove by on the highway.
The vehicles are all magnetically levitated and use macro-electronic energy storage, so they are completely powered by electricity, smokeless, and noiseless.
Therefore, the voices of reporters accounted for 90% of the noise, while the remaining 10% came from onlookers.
"Miss Daisy! Would you like to say a few words? Could you inform us now about the commercial agreement signed between Rouen and New Munich?"
"Miss Daisy! Rumors are circulating online that you forced your fiancé to break off your engagement. Is this true?"
"Miss Daisy! I'm your fan, and I'll always support you!"
"Regarding the housing allocation, Miss Daisy, how did your father arrange it? Many people in Rouen are very concerned about this issue!"
Lin Feng asked with a somewhat strange expression.
Before he hibernated, he often rode in a motorcade, with people and reporters crowding the roadsides, but what they said was completely opposite to what these people are saying now.
"Who is that person? Why is he making such a big fuss?" Lin Feng asked Fu Lin beside him.
Flint replied, “Her name is Daisy Christine, the mayor’s daughter of this space city, and a member of the new aristocracy in Rouen.”
"Uh, the new nobility? There are still nobles in this day and age?"
Lin Feng was somewhat bewildered. Was history really going backwards in the future, half a century from now?
Fulin explained, “Yes, it’s just that people don’t say it. As long as there are differences in status between people, classes will always exist, and when classes become solidified, ‘aristocrats’ will emerge.”
"The emergence of nobility is inevitable. Humans are selfish, especially when it comes to their offspring. When those in high positions use their power to favor their blood relatives and grant them special privileges, nobility is born."
Turning his gaze to the convoy on the road, Flin continued.
"However, even among the new nobles of Rouen, this Miss Daisy is considered a rather special person, a noble among nobles."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng asked in return, "Because her father is the mayor of Rouen?"
Flint nodded. "Yes, if we consider the space city of Rouen as a small country, then this Daisy Christine is the princess of that small country."
"Won't this mayor be replaced in an election?" Lin Feng asked.
Since it's an electoral system, turning this space city into a space kingdom will probably not be an easy task.
Especially since this is a French-owned space city, turning it into a space kingdom would undoubtedly be a division of French territory.
“Indeed, elections can be held to change the mayor, but as you know, big capital can control elections. The Christian family has been running for mayor of Rouen for the past thirty years,” Flint replied.
Lin Feng asked in surprise, "How could France allow this to happen?"
Flint shrugged and replied, “There’s nothing we can do. Rouen is too far from Earth. Even radio communication is delayed and interfered with. In the early days, in order to manage the space city and facilitate political and diplomatic relations with the small countries that had completely relocated to the space city, the countries on Earth delegated a lot of autonomy.”
"The current political landscape of space began to take shape from that time onward."
It all stems from the fact that early space cities were granted a great deal of autonomy, and now it's not so easy to take that power back.
Should we go say hello to her?
Fulin suggested to Lin Feng that although the Christian family, as local bigwigs, were not taken seriously by the Taylor Group, a visit would allow them to gain some convenience in the space city.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng shook his head, rejecting Fu Lin's suggestion.
"No, that would turn into a social obligation. We are just two ordinary tourists on vacation in this space city. There's no need to mix in too much."
After visiting all the major attractions in the space city, Lin Feng and his group rested in a nearby park.
A burly man, who looked like he could fight very well, called out to Lin Feng and his group.
"Please wait a moment, gentlemen."
Lin Feng sized up the other person and asked.
"What do you want with us?"
"Our young lady would like to invite you two to dinner."
The big man laughed, though his laugh was somewhat ferocious, making Lin Feng want to complain.
"Who is your young lady? We don't know anyone in Rouen," Flint asked.
“She is Miss Daisy,” the big man replied.
Thinking of Lin Feng's answer not long ago, Fu Lin declined the big man's invitation.
"I'm sorry, we have our own schedules and cannot accept your kind invitation. Please leave."
The burly man didn't insist that Lin Feng and his companions accept the invitation. He left after receiving their explicit refusal, which contrasted sharply with his somewhat fierce appearance.
……
"So you just came back like that? What a waste!"
Daisy Christine leaned back in her chair, her face frosty, and splashed the wine glass in her hand directly in the burly man's face.
Daisy said coldly, "Those two are big shots in the Taylor Group, did you know that?"
"But, but they both refused. I can't just bring them all to you, can I? You yourself said that they are both big shots we can't afford to offend..."
The burly man, his face covered in wine, didn't get angry, but stammered in response.
Daisy slammed her hand on the table. "Are you an idiot? They don't want to come, but that doesn't mean you can't come along, right? Even if you can't come openly, you can still follow secretly."
"They're new here, they can't possibly have everything prepared, can they? They're bound to encounter some inconveniences in Rouen, won't they?"
"I sent you to meet those two, did you really think it was to invite them over for dinner with me? I sent you to accompany them, to help them solve any problems they might encounter, thus doing them a favor while avoiding angering the Taylor faction. And you, with your pig brain, actually came back like that?"
Daisy rubbed her forehead, feeling a bit of a headache. She had only found out yesterday that people from the Taylor Group were coming, so she hurriedly ended her business talks with New Munich and rushed back, afraid that something might happen while she was away.
Her father is currently ill and simply doesn't have the energy to manage many things.
If the burly man hadn't been a former subordinate of Daisy's father, and hadn't been exceptionally capable, having saved her father's life several times, she would have fired this man with below-average emotional intelligence long ago.
“Miss, you know I’m an honest man. I can handle security or crime-solving jobs very well, but I really can’t do anything too complicated.” Old Li looked troubled.
"I sent you there precisely because of your outstanding security capabilities. Otherwise, why wouldn't I have sent someone else?"
Daisy rolled her eyes. If it weren't for this, why would she bother sending this guy with such low emotional intelligence over there? It was precisely because of his outstanding security capabilities.
Especially given the current situation, the Taylor Group is the focal point of all forces. If two members of the Taylor Group have an accident in their space city, it could be another Sarajevo incident.
"Do you know how troublesome the Taylor Group is right now? The Taylor Group is the focus of attention from all sides. Even if their personal safety is in danger, it won't happen here, understand?"
"This roundabout way is too uncomfortable. Why don't you just tell me to protect them? Don't worry, although I, Lao Li, may not be the most emotionally intelligent, my ability to get things done is absolutely guaranteed."
Old Li patted his chest and assured his young lady.
Back in the space city's security team, Old Li gave an order, and the team members immediately put down everything they were doing and lined up outside the building.
"You rascals, I'm going to give you a task," Old Li said.
"Please speak."
Old Li said, "There are two very important figures in our Rouen City. You must ensure their personal safety. If they encounter any trouble, you should step in and help them resolve it."
"They're here for leisure and tourism, we can't spoil their good mood."
Worried that these people might inconsiderately disturb the important person's leisure time, Old Li added another sentence.
In the security team, someone hesitated for a moment before replying, "Captain Li, the brothers did discover some unusual things a few days ago."
Old Li frowned. When his subordinate said that, it meant something bad had happened.
"Let me see it," Old Li said.
The subordinate ran into the house and then used a computer to transfer a surveillance file to the terminal that Lao Li carried with him.
Old Li opened it and took a look. He was usually calm and collected, but his expression changed slightly. However, he quickly returned to normal.
"I never expected that such a big fish from the deep sea would actually come here."
"A big fish?"
The security team realized the seriousness of the problem from Lao Li's behavior, but they didn't know what the "big fish" Lao Li was referring to was.
Old Li explained, "The infamous assassination organization 'Death Kiss' is adept at creating accidents to eliminate their targets. Their methods are extremely covert. If they hadn't successfully assassinated a head of state, prompting a national investigation team to investigate repeatedly, probably no one would know that such an assassination organization exists in the world."
Swallowing hard, one of the security team members asked anxiously.
"Captain Li, are you capable of handling this kind of dangerous organization?"
Old Li laughed heartily, "Me? Of course I can't handle it. Why do you have the illusion that I can handle such a dangerous organization? If such an organization could be easily dealt with, how could it still exist now?"
Noticing the increasingly uneasy expressions on the faces of the security team members, Old Li patted one of them on the shoulder and said, "But don't panic. We're not like those nobodies and illegal organizations. We have people above us, and many of them. If we can't handle something, we can call over the people who can."
"Go and inform the nearest space force fleet that the Death Kiss people have run into our space city. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to capture them alive."
After assigning a task to one person, Lao Li turned around and assigned tasks to the others.
"Then you guys go and guard the spaceport. Tell them you've received a smuggling warning from the Space Force and you need to strictly control all spacecraft that are about to leave the port."
"Yes!"
The security team shouted in unison.
The space city of Rouen is in turmoil because of Lin Feng and his group's arrival, but they themselves are completely unaware of what's going on.
"Honestly, I kind of miss ETO."
After a week of aimlessly wandering around the space city, Lin Feng said with some melancholy.
Walking on the streets of the space city always reminds him of the time before hibernation, and he also always thinks of himself and his people who are hiding in ETO.
Lin Feng missed them terribly; they were all heroes, yet he couldn't save them all.
