Chapter 294 Kunna and Pete

Kunna was very angry. She killed Vito and took over Vito's business. She even got the transfer documents of the factory under Vito's name. Everything was going well, but Pete said that those transfer documents were illegal.

No, that bastard didn't say that the transfer document was illegal, but that Vito's original property was not legal. Fuck, I never heard him say anything when Vito was alive.

Kunal is angry.

"Quinna, calm down. I understand how you feel. But no matter how you got the transfer letter from Vito, the slaughterhouse and stone factory in the third block are illegal enterprises."

"And as you know, the development of Cairns City has been officially approved. In the development plan, it is impossible to continue to place that kind of factory in the third block. This is also for the good of the town."

Beside the main road of the town, Pete, who was blocked by Kuna and his men on the roadside, tried to persuade Kuna with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Vito? Fuck, Mayor Pete, he is dead, you should know that he is dead." Kunna said coldly, while several of her men behind her stared at Pete viciously.

The people around Kunna had ferocious expressions, but in response to Kunna's scolding, a look of impatience briefly flashed across Pete's face.

In between, Toby, who was wearing a police uniform, frowned slightly because of Kunna's words. He seemed to feel threatened by Kunna and her group. Toby touched the pistol at his waist with his right hand.

"Quinna, you're not from this town." Compared to before, Pete seemed to be a little tougher in temperament.

"Vito is not from this town either." Glancing at Toby, Kunna raised her hand to signal the people behind her to relax. While telling Toby that she posed no threat, she said to Pete.

Originally, Vito ran a gang in the town, and both the police and Pete turned a blind eye. They would usually choose to ignore the relatively chaotic Third Street District.

At this time, Vito was dead and Kunna was still sorting out the thugs in the Third Street District, but Pete jumped out to deny the legality of Vito's industries. His fearless attitude made Kunna feel that she and her group were the type that were easy to bully in his mind.

"Quinna, as the mayor, I need to consider the town. No matter what happened between you and Vito, the town can't be the same as before."

"The third block is going to be renovated. I have found investors for the town. Everything I do is for BearPig Town, so that the townspeople can still have a place in the future of Caines City. I hope you can understand."

When Pete was talking to Kunna, his eyes kept glancing at Toby standing beside him. There were some people standing in the distance watching. It seemed as if Pete was speaking to the people around him rather than communicating with Kunna.

"Oh, for the town? It should be 'Fall' who came to you, right?" Kunna sneered and looked around.

"Bars, nightclubs, underground boxing matches, selling one's soul to the devil, that's 'degeneration'. Has our mayor told you about this? Do you know this?" Kunna raised her voice, causing a commotion around her.

"No, the Third District will become a legal entertainment district. Even if it is 'degenerate', no one will agree to any soul trade."

"The wishing demons are all rumors. We can buy some rare items there."

"Everyone knows that the development of 375 will inevitably bring a large number of adventurers to the town. The ones who will really harm us are the demon merchants. 'Fallen' will sell goods from hell, which can prevent people from summoning demon merchants in the town." Pete retorted loudly.

The Demon Merchant, as the name suggests, is a kind of demon that travels between hell and the human world. They are rather mysterious and will trade with summoners, selling some things from hell to humans, but they usually do not attack humans at will.

However, demon merchants occasionally sell some dangerous items, or deliberately conceal the danger of some goods, and the transaction currency charged by demon merchants is also not fixed.

Their definition of value is very broad, including money, souls, and lives. They may even ask traders to cause disasters in exchange for the goods they have.

Therefore, the reputation of demon merchants tends to be bad even among demons, not to mention among humans.

Whether it is the Devil Merchant or the 'Nightclub Depravity', most people actually have no clear concept of them.

Too few people have seen the Devil Merchant, and not many are qualified to do business with the 'Fallen'.

However, "Fall" has many chain stores in the Federation, so it should have a certain degree of legitimacy. The rumor about soul wishes is indeed a bit unreasonable. When Kunna heard Pete talk about it, she couldn't refute it for a while.

"Haha, an entertainment venue. You also said that more adventurers will come to the town. What we need is not an entertainment venue, but the power to protect ourselves."

"We plan to set up a security company in the third block. It will belong to Bear Pig Town. The quarry and the slaughterhouse have complete documents. There's even your signature on them!" Kunna took out a stack of documents and spoke to Pete, lowering her voice a little for the last part.

"No matter how many procedures there are, you know that place can't withstand inspection." Pete also lowered his voice and said to Kunna.

"Check? I heard that your investor intends to support your campaign for mayor? Do people in town know about this, Toby?" Kunna sneered and turned to ask Toby who was standing beside her.

"Damn it, you are spreading rumors! We don't need your security company, we have our own security team." Pete scolded in dissatisfaction and also looked at Toby.

Toby twitched his lips. As a young man and a civil servant, he had been following the rules since he was a child. In fact, he didn't have much affection for the town. If he could be transferred to a big city to get a promotion and a raise, he would probably pack his bag and leave happily.

Expecting civil servants to protect local interests? Don’t make a fuss...

Compared to the security company that Kunna mentioned, to be honest, Toby was more curious and interested in the so-called "depravity".

But according to Kuna, it seems that Pitt handed over a block to an outsider.

During this period, Pete did not discuss with the townspeople, and they did not seem to get any substantial benefits. This made Toby feel disgusted. After all, he was also a local, and he probably had no chance to get a promotion and a raise in a big city. "The police force is already understaffed. If the city bureau is upgraded in the future, it is not certain how many police officers can be assigned to the town."

Facing the gazes from both sides, Toby spoke casually, knowing that both sides were just using him as a raft, so he simply turned his head to the side.

He has no ideals of fighting violence and protecting the innocent. He joined the security force just to get the salary.

Bearpig Town was originally relatively closed, and if there was a problem in the town, Toby and other security guards would not be as impartial as the police in the outside world.

They are all neighbors and they see each other every day. This also makes the security team more like a neighborhood committee. As long as no serious incidents occur, most cases are mainly mediated.

At this time, as long as there was no physical conflict between Kunna and Pete, Toby would simply step back and wait for the two sides to come to an end.

Now that things had come to this, both Kunna and Pete, standing on the street, deliberately lowered their voices.

There's no way. Strictly speaking, neither side is very clean.

Kunna is obviously involved in organized crime, and Pete's actions are extremely selfish. The official's attitude of "I'm doing this for your own good" will not work with Loren.

"Mayor Pete, since we can get the transfer contract from Vito, we don't mind using Vito's methods on some things." Kunna whispered as she approached Pete.

"Ms. Kunna, the situation is different now. Bear Pig Town is no longer the Bear Pig Town it used to be. Even in the past, Vito had to abide by the rules of the town." Pete said with a sneer.

"But I'm not Vito. You should know that I've worked in the Adventurer's Guild for many years."

"And I know Mu Hua very well. By the way, I also know Nick. You know who I'm talking about, right?" Kunna said with a dangerous smile.

Pete frowned: Nick should be referring to the acting mayor of Heyman City. Mu Hua himself is nothing, at least nothing after the project was approved in Cairns City.

But Mu Hua seems to have a close connection with the top leaders of the Strategy Association. Combined with the upcoming Strategy Group, although Pete is unclear about Mu Hua's specific situation, he still doesn't want to provoke Mu Hua.

"Ma'am, Mr. Nick has no reason to interfere in the affairs of Caines City, and I am also very familiar with Mr. Mu Hua. His household registration is in Bear Pig Town, and he gets along well with many people in the town."

"I think we should never listen to one-sided statements at any time, right?" Pete slowed down his tone and said tentatively.

"You can go and understand, but I don't like others infringing on my rights, whether it's the mayor or the town head." Kunna's smile widened.

"I don't care about the investment plan. The slaughterhouse and the quarry can be closed, but I can't let anyone deprive me of my ownership of the land." Although Kunna was smiling, there was a cold light in her eyes.

Unlike the gentle receptionist in his impression, the dangerous aura emanating from Kunna at this moment made Pete's expression frozen.

Looking directly at Kunna, Pete seemed to have some thoughts in his mind. Just as Pete was hesitating about how to respond, the roar of a motorcycle sounded from one end of the street.

Motorcycles, wild horses, and the shouts of cowboys on the streets scattered the crowds.

I saw four people running in a panic being chased by a group of young and strong riders who looked like thugs.

"Toby, stop them!" Everyone looked and saw a rider riding a horse in front and holding a lance, and he saw Toby and shouted loudly.

"Shit! Toussaint! Are you crazy!?" When Kuna and her group and Pete were stunned, Toby subconsciously drew his gun and cursed.

Guns, knives, stun batons, explosion-proof nets, and a group of familiar faces to Toby, some driving motorcycles and some riding horses, like rioting cowboys, chasing the two fleeing men.

The two fleeing men each had a person in their hands.

The two men who were held by the waist seemed to be more embarrassed than the fleeing people. One of them seemed to have a gunshot wound on the leg. When they saw Toby, they couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Stop them! We are the EWT, stop these thugs!"

Toby was stunned, but the person came too fast and ran in front of Toby in a blink of an eye.

When Toby was hesitating whether to shoot, two men with snake eyes dodged and passed by him.

"Puff~!" The net gun attacked, and a big net wrapped Toby tightly.

The iron ball swinging from the edge of the net hit Toby, and Toby groaned in pain.

By the time Toby fell to the ground, the two motorcycles had already accelerated and overtook Toussaint, who was firing the net, and passed Toby, raising stun guns that could fire electric locks at the fleeing people.

"Fuck!" The tough wire net was not comfortable on his body. He didn't dare to struggle. He fell to the ground and cursed in confusion, but he could only watch more riders pass by him. (End of this chapter)
