The villain daughter did all kinds of things

Faced with the wary leaders of the three gangs, the Baihe Gang's envoy was very polite. He stated that the Baihe Gang's action against the 74 Gang was purely a response to the provocation and that they would never break their promise, leaving the three gangs to wait and see.

It wasn't until dawn the next day, after all the intelligence had been gathered, that the three major gangs understood what the Baihe Gang meant by "never breaking their promise."

Although the Baihe Gang slaughtered the 74 Gang overnight, they showed no intention of taking over the 74 Gang's territory. Before dawn, all members withdrew to their own territory, cleaned up all the blood and debris, and even gave compensation to a group of tourists who unfortunately witnessed the incident.

It seems that the Baihe Gang, just as they claim, came to Champs-Élysées to find a place to do business peacefully. As long as others don't provoke them, they will act according to the rules, but if anyone insists on provoking them, that's the fate of the 74 Gang.

After patiently observing for three more days, seeing that the Baihe Gang still showed no intention of expanding further, the other major gangs finally took action and completely wiped out the still struggling Qisi Gang, and the territory was completely divided among the gangs.

Unlike the workers' association, the 74 Gang also had powerful backers. Although their backers were certainly not as powerful as the Merson family, they still had considerable financial resources and influence in Caledonia. Their main business was a large supermarket chain with branches in major cities across the federal government and a near-monopoly in the state.

Their support for the 74 Group in Champs-Élysées is also to ensure that the supermarket in this resort town can operate smoothly and not be affected by unfriendly customers and market regulators.

Now that the 74 Gang has been eliminated, the supermarket was immediately reported for having some expired products. The market supervision department quickly intervened and fined them a large sum of money.

The owner of the supermarket group was furious. The provocation of the Baihe Gang had nothing to do with him. Why did he provoke Miss Merson for no reason?

The 74 Gang didn't really want to go to war with the White River Gang. They were just talkative and all bark and no bite. They liked to use public opinion to belittle their competitors and elevate themselves... but they ran into Badass, who liked to start fights at the drop of a hat, and were instantly doomed.

The backers of the other three major gangs were also alarmed after seeing what happened to the 74 Gang. They were all worried that Batista might do it again.

So, Batiste's case file was once again placed on the desk of the FBI's deputy director's assistant, causing the nearly 40-year-old assistant to frown.

After sitting at her desk, sipping strong coffee and racking her brains for a while, the assistant finally came up with a solution.

She stood up, first went to her direct superior's office to report and ask for instructions, and then went into another office... the office of a purple-star investigator.

"Hello, Investigator Bell."

A Purple Star Investigator is a much higher rank than a Deputy Director's Assistant, so the assistant was very polite.

"Do you have some time? Could you please take a look at this case?"

"can."

Mengmeng is very enthusiastic in the FBI. Although she only takes on cases related to human infants, she never hesitates to give advice when others ask her for their cases. Therefore, she has a good reputation among the Red Star investigators.

Mengmeng initially thought that this was another case where a Red Star investigator was encountering difficulties and had asked the assistant for advice. However, she was surprised to find that the person in charge of the case file was empty, meaning that no investigator was currently in charge of the case.

So Miss Mengmeng frowned:

“Sarah, you should know that I am a Purple Star Investigator, right? And I generally don’t accept cases assigned by the department unless the case is related to human cubs.”

"Of course I know... but I have no choice. You are the most suitable person to take charge of this case right now, Investigator Bell. Anyway, take a look."

The assistant looked worried, her eyes pleading.

If the assistant had used the Investigation Bureau's name to pressure Mengmeng, Mengmeng would definitely have refused. But now that the assistant was begging her like this, she had no choice but to pick up the case file and start reading it carefully.

"Ha, I wondered who it was, but it turns out it's that wicked woman's business again."

A few minutes later, Miss Mengmeng put down the file, a hint of excitement in her eyes, and a sense of anticipation in her eyes:

"Simply put, it's because that guy Emerald supported the White River Gang in expanding their territory and carried out two major operations in Champs-Élysées, causing bloodshed, right? So, can I use that as a reason to arrest Emerald and interrogate him properly?"

"...Are you insane, Investigator Bell? What nonsense are you spouting? You actually want to drag Miss Melson back for interrogation?"

The assistant was stunned:

"Even if you're not afraid of being driven to suicide, I don't want to be dismissed without cause—don't you know that our boss's last name is also Melson? Don't you know who the real masters of the Federation are?"

"……I knew it."

Miss Mengmeng instantly lost interest and casually tossed the case files aside.

"If we can't arrest Emerald, what's the point of our department taking on this case? Arrest that henchman named Badis? What's the use? There are so many people in the Federation, there's never a shortage of guys willing to be dogs for someone like Emerald, okay? Besides, someone else might have behaved even worse... At least this Badis only killed gang members, without disturbing ordinary residents and tourists."

"The root of this problem is that Emery wants to expand her territory. If we don't capture or stop her, even if we wipe out the White River Gang, it won't matter. Countless White River Gangs and White Sea Gangs will be established overnight."

"That's why we need you to go, Investigator Bell."

The assistant smiled earnestly once again:

"You know Miss Melson, and I heard you two get along quite well? She's taken you around Locke City quite a bit, given you a lot of gifts, and helped you with your investigation, hasn't she? So the department wants you to ask her as a friend... no, I mean, persuade her to tone down her behavior, at least to stop using military weapons to carry out this massacre."

"……cut!"

Miss Mengmeng's face immediately turned sour.

Although the assistant changed her tune in time and said it subtly, Miss Mengmeng was, after all, an excellent Purple Star Investigator, and instantly understood the Bureau's true intentions.

Because Miss Mengmeng not only knew Emerald, but was also a tall and hot beauty herself, completely fitting Emerald's sensibilities... Emerald was so unrestrained at school, her private life information was no secret to the FBI.

So the Bureau of Investigation's real intention was to have Miss Mengmeng whisper in Amelie's ear, asking her to restrain herself.

"No way! Don't even think about it. I'm not that kind of woman!"

Miss Mengmeng became increasingly angry as she thought about it, and directly gestured for the guests to leave.

"Please don't do this, Investigator Bell. This matter really depends on you now."

However, the assistant is quite capable to be the deputy director's assistant.

If you asked her to investigate cases on the front lines like Mengmeng, she definitely wouldn't know anything. But she's particularly good at persuading internal staff to take on cases they wouldn't normally be willing to handle.

Now, the assistant is also very patient and kindly advising Ms. Mengmeng:

"The White River Gang is clearly going a bit crazy right now, and only Miss Melson can keep them in check... If we let this go unchecked, incidents like the Workers' Association and the 74 Gang will most likely continue to occur in Champs-Élysées until the White River Gang completely takes over the area."

"What does that have to do with me? Besides, it's really not a big deal, is it?"

Miss Mengmeng dismissed it with disdain:

"It's just gang warfare, and none of the dead are good people. Besides, I've been to Locke City myself, and the security there is quite good. Letting the White River Gang rule Champs-Élysées in the same way might actually be a good thing."

“That’s not how it works, Investigator Bell.”

The assistant's expression remained unchanged.

“If it were another city, perhaps it would be nice as you say, but Champs-Élysées is a resort town! The kind of resort town where many families go on vacation together... And how can a complete family be without children?”

"...you mean?"

Upon hearing that it was related to children, Miss Mengmeng immediately became serious.

Even though she knew that this was most likely just the assistant's rhetoric, she couldn't turn a blind eye to anything that could potentially harm a child.

“I know that gang fights usually happen late at night, and they all know how to avoid disturbing ordinary people. The tourists who were startled during the two Baihe Gang operations received a considerable amount of compensation.”

Upon seeing this, the assistant's lips curled up slightly, and a smile appeared in her eyes:

"But no matter how clean the Baihe Gang washes away the bloodstains, their actions cannot be concealed silently and are destined to cause a stir in the local area. People will be talking about them in restaurants, shops, and even tourist attractions."

"Most ordinary people don't care much about the deaths and injuries of gang members; they talk more about what weapons and equipment the Baihe Gang used and their powerful tactics."

"Adults have the ability to distinguish right from wrong and just treat it as a joke, but what about the children they bring around? What will they think? Will they think the Baihe Gang is cool and develop a yearning for violence from a young age, or even dream of joining a gang when they grow up?"

"Champs-Élysées is a well-known resort town throughout the Federation, meaning children from all over the Federation might go there for vacation, hear about the White River Gang's exploits, and have the seeds of violence planted in their hearts..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop!"

Miss Mengmeng couldn't help but interrupt her assistant's long-winded explanation, rolling her eyes:

"You're exaggerating a bit too much, aren't you?"

"But you can't deny that possibility, can you, Investigator Bell?"

The assistant no longer concealed her determined expression:

"So, what will you choose, Investigator Bell? Will you turn a blind eye to this and allow the next generation of the entire Federation to have the potential to yearn for violence?"

"...Tsk."

Miss Mengmeng had already agreed in her heart, but her pride wouldn't allow her to agree so quickly.

"What if I continue to refuse? Don't forget I'm a Purple Star Investigator, with the right to unconditionally refuse cases assigned by the department and only investigate the cases I want to investigate."

"I know."

The assistant nodded with a smile:

"So the bureau won't assign this case to you, and they won't even open a case for it, because two Red Star-level investigators have already investigated it. Opening a case for a new investigation would undoubtedly negate their work and be detrimental to internal unity."

"But the department can give you, Investigator Bell, a leave of absence. You're not going to be on a case next; you're just going to Locke City to relax and visit old friends, right?"

"……snort."

Miss Mengmeng pouted:

"Since you've said that, what else can I say? But let's make this clear beforehand: I can go to Locke City to persuade that girl, but there's no way I'll sleep with her... I'm not one of those shameless women!"

“But you’re also the most attractive woman in our Bureau right now, Investigator Bell. That’s the easiest way to achieve our goal.”

Seeing that Miss Mengmeng's expression was about to turn from sunny to stormy, the assistant quickly changed her tune:

"Of course, I'm just suggesting it, I won't force you to do it... The bureau only looks at the results, not the process, when assigning tasks. As long as you can make Miss Melson behave herself, it doesn't matter how you do it. If you're not afraid of death, you can even go and beat her up."

"I really want to beat that rotten woman to a pulp! Beat her until she's soaking wet!"

Miss Mengmeng first waved her little fist, then sighed:

“But that definitely won’t work, I’m not that reckless… Okay, I’ll go on vacation to Locke City after I’ve organized the data I have.”

"Then I'll patiently await your good news, Investigator Bell."

The assistant finally smiled with satisfaction.

. . . . .

"Hey, Mengmeng, you're on vacation? You want to come visit me in Locke City? Great, great!"

Upon receiving the communication from Miss Mengmeng via a magical device, Emerald appeared delighted, seemingly completely unaware of Miss Mengmeng's true purpose:

"My second movie is finished, and the first and second cinemas in the entire Federation are about to officially open in Locke City. Mengmeng, your vacation is perfectly timed."

"Really? Then I'll have to look forward to it."

Miss Mengmeng seemed very happy on the other end of the communicator, as if she really was just on vacation and wanted to visit her friends, without mentioning a word about Emery's previous act of murdering the suspect.

After exchanging greetings via the communication magic device, Miss Mengmeng appeared in the skies above Locke City in less than three hours.

Unlike the flying skateboards favored by most mages, Miss Momo's chosen mode of air transportation is somewhat like a motorcycle, but without wheels; however, it still needs to be ridden.

The female investigator, dressed in a black bodysuit, rode a black motorcycle, looking incredibly cool.

Even Yulia, who was still stubbornly insisting that she was definitely not Mengmeng, was stunned for two seconds before excitedly flying towards Miss Mengmeng:

"Mengmeng, Mengmeng! You're in Locke City again? Are you here to catch bad guys again this time? Remember to let me help you too... Lately I've been beating up some weak and stupid thieves, and I have to be very careful not to kill them while beating them, it's quite boring."

...The biggest villain in your Locke City is Emerald. If I really come to capture her, are you sure you'll help me instead of ganging up on me?

Miss Mengmeng inwardly complained, but on the surface, she gave Yulia a bright smile:

"You're playing the hero today, Julia? You're truly something else... Locke City is now only infested with those weak and stupid thieves, and that's all thanks to you, because the bad guys don't dare to cause trouble here anymore."

"Huh? Really? Hehehehehe~~"

Yulia clearly enjoyed being praised. After flying to Miss Mengmeng's side, she gave her a light high five and then maintained synchronized flight.

"So? Mengmeng, are you here to catch the bad guys this time?"

"Sadly, no."

Miss Mengmeng shrugged, a relaxed smile on her face:

"I just got a few days off, and I heard that Amelie's new movie is going to be released, so I just came here to have some fun... What? You're not welcoming me because I didn't bring any bad guys for you to fight?"

"How could that be? Mengmeng, you're my friend. You can come over anytime."

Yulia quickly waved her hand, then said with great interest:

"Speaking of Emerald's movies, she recently built two more cinemas, which seem to be entertainment venues specifically for watching movies. I've been there twice, and they're quite interesting... We can go see her new movie together when it's released."

"Great! I'll be really looking forward to it... You're still the lead in the new movie, Yulia?"

Miss Mengmeng asked with a smile.

"No, this time the main character is Major Judy... Emery has already established cooperation with the military, and I guess they'll be making a lot of movies about fighting the demon tide in the future."

Yulia showed no intention of keeping it a secret or preventing spoilers, and told Miss Mengmeng about the new movie in just a few words.

Fortunately, the movie will be released tomorrow, and Miss Mengmeng doesn't have any bad intentions, otherwise the money Julia owes Amelie will double again.

The two chatted as they flew, and soon arrived at the top floor of the Blue Star Film Company building, where Amelie's office was located.

Yulia, familiar with the place, tried to open the window and enter, but after only glancing inside, she quickly turned around and stood in front of Miss Mengmeng, her face showing an angry expression:

"That Emerald, she's with those two shameless elves again in broad daylight... Tsk, doesn't her finger get tired? She clearly has so much work to do!"
