Fang Zhou, how did they see me?

impossible.

There's no way I can escape.

As a powerful marquis, Yevni is stupid and arrogant, but cautious enough.

Since he gave me a deadline and a warning, he would definitely send someone to monitor my whereabouts 24 hours a day to prevent me from escaping.

Even though Markov didn't find any stalkers now, he knew there must be one.

"I have a way for you to control his life and make him your puppet."

Sarkaz said lightly.

Markov raised his brow.

He put away the Ursus sword in his hand, and then said lightly.

"what do you want……"

He exhaled deeply, and it was obvious what an intense psychological struggle he had just experienced.

"I've already said it before. I just want my people and I to live peacefully here, that's all."

"If you don't become the one who truly controls this city, we won't be completely safe living here..."

How could Markov not know at this time?

The other party had this ultimate goal in mind when they first approached me.

"Why do you think I will agree to you..."

Sarkaz said nonchalantly: "Because you don't have any background and don't have any other options."

"It's precisely because I know you will definitely agree to me that I took the initiative to find you."

Markov took a deep breath.

He subconsciously took out a cigarette box from his pocket, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth and lit it.

Ha ha...

A large puff of smoke was exhaled from his mouth, and the small office was immediately filled with white smoke.

His back was leaning against the desk.

His thoughts drifted with the smoke as he thought.

The market is fierce in his eyes, often melancholy, and often desperate.

The Sarkaz stood there motionless, waiting for the other party's thoughts.

I spent twenty minutes thinking like this.

After finishing one cigarette, he started another.

On average, that’s a few puffs per cigarette.

Just twenty minutes.

He had already smoked about ten cigarettes.

The animal skin carpet was littered with stubbed-out cigarette butts, making it look extremely messy.

at last……

Markov seemed to understand something. He nodded vigorously: "I promise you!"

"As long as you can help me, I promise that as long as I live, I will allow you and your people to live safely in the city of Daliniera."

"Two last questions, though."

"You asked."

"You have such strange witchcraft, why don't you control Yev and Olev yourself?"

"Witchcraft isn't omnipotent. While it can control people's minds, it naturally has many limitations. It requires not only close proximity but also long-term, subtle influence."

"Do you think I have this ability?"

Markov nodded.

"last question……"

"Why should I trust you completely? Since you have a way for me to control the Marquis, why can't you control me in return?"

"In the end, you're the only one who benefits."

The Sarkaz shook his head. "All of my people are in the living area you provided. Do you understand?"

Markov nodded.

"Let me believe it for once..."

……

……

1 month 25 day.

Yesterday, a group in Shangcheng District was investigated. Its leader was suspected of multiple crimes and has been detained...

1 month 26 day.

[Five years ago, a shocking crime was committed. The suspect had a complete criminal chain underground in Longmen's main urban area...]

1 month 27 day.

[A well-known Longmen gang has been eradicated. The gang was involved in serious crimes such as intentional homicide, smuggling, human trafficking, and organ trafficking...]

Because it’s close to the Spring Festival.

The Orderly Lords and the Guards Bureau seemed to be rushing to meet performance targets before the end of the year. Both were investigating and arresting people ruthlessly, aiming to settle everything without regard for their lives.

After arresting people in the upper urban area, they will arrest people in the main urban area. After arresting people in the main urban area, they will arrest people in the slums, or they will arrest old cases in the past.

Just a few days.

A bunch of people were arrested.

Many of those caught were involved in major crimes. Ordinary petty thieves at this time were not even bothered to be noticed by the Guards, so they would just send someone to catch them.

Simultaneously.

Inside the Guard Bureau.

Because of Shi Huaiya's lead.

It seemed as if Chen Sir was forced to start an "arms race" all of a sudden, and he was in a fierce internal competition with Shi Huaiya.

But unfortunately.

Shi Huaiya has a cheat here.

There is Bai Yuan hanging here.

No matter how hard Chen Sir tried, he could not beat Shi Huaiya, but Shi Huaiya did not dare to get too far ahead. A slight lead could be considered as a sign of ability, but too much lead would definitely arouse suspicion.

With the internal strife within the Guards and the deployment of the God of Order, ordinary people live a happy life. Every day after dinner, they discuss what criminals they caught today and how many criminals they will catch tomorrow.

Everyone was in a very happy mood.

It’s like the room you live in is being cleaned slowly.

Although for most people.

A dirty room will not affect their normal life.

But being cleaner will always make you feel more comfortable.

However, under such deep internal circulation, the ones who suffer the most are the dirty businesses in the upper city and the gangs in the slums.

The Capital Chamber of Commerce meeting in Upper Town has not been held since the last one ended in disharmony.

After the clean-handed capital bosses jointly sought out Wei Yanwu to sound out the situation, they all felt completely at ease and prepared to celebrate a lively New Year.

But some people with dirty butts feel very uncomfortable.

Some decisively found ways to transfer some of their assets and left Longmen, while others who were reluctant to leave chose to stay in Longmen and fight on.

Some even spent a huge amount of money to invite powerful mercenaries to guard them 24 hours a day, for fear that the messenger of order would suddenly appear and descend upon them.

On the second floor of an ordinary building on the edge of the slums and the main urban area, a round wooden table is placed inside, and the incandescent lamp above it is a little yellow.

"Damn it!! Are you going to let me live?!"

Someone started cursing angrily.

"Fuck this, and this lawful angel exploded!!"

"Why are you arguing with someone? Can you find where they are?"

Some people no longer have any thoughts of resistance.

"If he dares to show up here, I'll kill him immediately!!"

"Don't!!"

Someone immediately covered his mouth and said in panic.

"Brother, please stop talking, please stop talking, I'm scared!!!"

"I'm not afraid of shit!!"

"Believe it or not, if he dares to show up here, I will immediately!!"

Done.

The man pulled out a homemade Originium bomb from his pants.

"I immediately fought him, but I couldn't kill him!!"

Just as he finished speaking.

A leisurely and cold voice came from the side.

"Oh~ I'm here, do you want to try it?"

When this death-like voice appeared, everyone present was immediately frightened out of their wits.

The pitch-black head, the hood that concealed his face, and the mark engraved on his head.

"Guard!! The Lord of Order!!!"

A sharp explosion was heard in the small room.

The middle-aged man who had just shouted about using a homemade bomb to kill Bai Yuan now forgot what he wanted to do the previous second, and his hand holding the homemade explosives began to tremble wildly.

"what!!!"

Such incidents have become common in slums, main urban areas and even upper urban areas recently.

Everyone was extremely honest before being found by Bai Yuan, but after being found, each one was more honest than the other.

"Miss, what's wrong with you lately? You've solved so many cases, you're amazing~"

In the Guard Bureau.

Xingxiong, Shi Huaiya, and Chen Sir were walking on the road inside the Guard Bureau, preparing to go to a nearby restaurant for a meal.

on the way.

Xingxiong came close to Shi Huaiya and said teasingly.

Being praised by Xingxiong like this.

Shi Huaiya's delicate little nose suddenly stood up to the sky, her head tilted up, and she began to look at people with her nose pierced.

"Hehe~ I'm awesome, right~"

After finishing speaking, Shi Huaiya glanced at Chen Sir intentionally or unintentionally, as if waiting for Chen Sir's answer.

However, Sir Chen did not forcefully continue Shi Huaiya's conversation.

Shi Huaiya moved closer to Chen Sir again and elbowed Chen Sir in the waist.

"Ahem!! Uh-huh!!!"

Sir Chen looked at Shi Huaiya's smug expression and immediately rolled his eyes, with that typical scoundrel look on his face, as if he was ready to snatch Shi Huaiya's pride away at any time.
