I'm in Terra

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will take about two weeks. Don't ask about the location or the mission, you know."

Although Wei Yanwu looked very oppressive, the emperor was no pushover either. Being willing to receive this troublesome guy was already giving him enough face.

"Really? That's unfortunate." Wei Yanwu exhaled a puff of smoke, hiding his expression. "In that case, consider it my only opportunity to relax today. Bring me two glasses of good wine, and put it on the Guard Bureau's account."

"That's more like it." The emperor nodded and stood up to pour Wei Yanwu a glass of good wine.

The two of them drank a few glasses like ordinary friends, and then Wei Yanwu left as low-key as he had when he came.

Neither the man nor the penguin explained what they meant, but they both understood what the other meant.

The night grew deeper, and so did the gloom in Wei Yanwu's eyes.

At the same time, a "meeting" also took place in the lower city of Longmen, but the people meeting were several gang bosses around the lower city.

The recent intensification of the Reunion Movement's activities has drawn the ire of surrounding gangs. Upon receiving an invitation from the Reunion Movement's "boss," all the surrounding gang leaders have gathered here to see what this legendary leader has in store.

What they didn't expect was that all the attendees had meticulously prepared, those who could bring their own subordinates, those who could carry weapons, and those who could. Yet, the main initiators, the Integration Movement, only showed up with one cadre, a few minions, and a delicate young woman who called herself "BOSS."

"Ha, I thought he was some other guy? Who would have thought that the rumored leader of the Reunion Movement was actually a hairless Elafia?"

Everyone was aware of the nature of the meeting, so a local gang took the initiative. As a gang long entrenched on the fringes of downtown, the influx of people at Longmen brought them great losses and challenges.

Therefore, when he heard that there was hope for peace talks, the leader immediately came to the scene just to help his gang preserve its strength.

It’s a pity that no matter how loud his calculations were, they were not as effective as the girl’s light words.

"I'm curious, why is Lin's lackey even allowed to attend this meeting? Shouldn't you just beg for mercy from those sewer rats? Why are you here courting death? Could it be... that you're trying to be an insider?"

Wine pool and meat forest: 84 Hongmen Banquet

The sun shines brightly, and a gentle breeze blows across the land. After the snow melts, Ursus welcomes its own summer.

The speeding off-road vehicle left shallow ruts on the cold mud and roared towards the city that had already changed drastically.

Norvinsk, once synonymous with poverty and coldness, has now undergone a complete transformation. Tall factories now dominate the city, driving its economic development. A large number of infected workers have gathered here, working hard to make a living for themselves and their families.

Just by looking at the people coming and going, Angel could already feel the prosperity of this city.

"It's a vibrant city, isn't it?" Philip rubbed his nose, his eyes filled with unconcealed pride. "Novinsk used to be just a remote border town. It was the hard work of the Governor, the Lord, and us merchants that transformed it into what it is today."

"Looks good." Texas, who was driving, noticed Philip's expression and relaxed a little. "According to the agreement, sending you to this city will be considered as completing the order, right?"

"Of course." Philip nodded, picked up the document in the car and signed his name on it.

"Once we arrive in this city, your contracts will be complete. Adjusting the orders and preparing the goods will take approximately three days. Once everything is ready, you can return to Longmen with me."

"Will it take three days?" Croissant, who was wearing a coat in the back seat, scratched his head in distress. "We don't have so many supplies prepared. Can the boss provide food and accommodation?"

Philip smiled gently. "It's such a small matter, why bother to mention it? I'll arrange your food and lodging once we get there. I'll also give you some activity funds so you can experience the hospitality of Ursus."

Hearing about the money distribution, Croissant and Exia, who were a little depressed due to the low temperature, jumped up instantly. Philip's ordinary face unconsciously became amiable in their eyes.

"Is there such a good thing?"

"Boss, is there a firearms store here? I'd like to see what they have."

"As businessmen, we naturally value integrity. As for gun stores, we don't have any here, but we do have a sales area for various weapons, armor, and bows and crossbows of all sizes. After all, this is an industrially developed city, so how could we not have weapons? By the way, if nothing goes wrong, the lord's inspection team will be in the city for the next two days. Maybe we can take you to experience the Norvinsk-style welcome banquet then."

"The Lord's patrol? What's that for?"

Listening to Philip's vivid introduction, even Texas, who had been driving calmly, became interested.

"This has little to do with you."

Philip pointed to several processing plants he passed by and said, "In theory, everything in Norvinsk is handled by Mayor Paul Bush. The Lord has given the mayor full authority, so naturally he has to check their performance.

Every one to two months, the Lord of Luxembourg would send someone to Norvinsk for an inspection. Sometimes it was the Lord himself, sometimes it was his secretary. If the Lord came, Mayor Paul would organize a banquet to entertain the Lord and his accompanying officials.

Texas was a little skeptical: "Can we attend a banquet of this level?"

Philip smiled, with a hint of pride in his smile.

"Of course it wouldn't be possible if you were coming to Norvinsk as tourists, but you're currently bodyguards for Tarkov Industries executives, so attending a banquet is more than acceptable. After all, I'm still Philip Bush."

"Bush, Paul Bush...I see." Texas nodded in understanding. She finally understood why Tarkov Industries had such great power.

As a family business owned by an Ursus mayor, it would be odd for Tarkov Industries to not have these capabilities.

But what Texas could not have imagined was that the Bush family's power was far more complicated than she had imagined, and Philip's invitation to them was not entirely out of enthusiasm.

Luxembourg's visit to Norvinsk was semi-public information among the top brass, with Victor and Dorothy usually taking turns. And it was Victor himself who would arrive in Norvinsk tomorrow.

Although Philip was a little confused, he had to admit that the three Penguin Logistics bodyguards around him were all rare beauties. Therefore, Philip, who had a slight understanding of Victoria's character, did not hesitate to invite them to the banquet.

After all...if there is any problem in Longmen, he can ask Penguin Logistics for help. Miss Dorothy told him this herself.

Maybe these beauties from Penguin Logistics have already been spotted by their lords.

Therefore, after arriving in Norvinsk, Philip did not arrange the three Penguin Logistics personnel like ordinary bodyguards, but arranged three single rooms with decent environments for them and gave each of them one thousand rubles of activity funds.

This made the people from Penguin Logistics like Philip even more, and they also looked forward to the party that Philip mentioned even more.

Meanwhile, as the main protagonist of the banquet, Victor was unaware that his subordinates had already prepared a great gift for him. He was still enjoying Madam Yevina's increasingly skilled ventriloquism while manipulating Alina, who was far away in Longmen, to stir up trouble.

As his soul-splitting skills became more and more proficient, Victory could now perfectly split his attention between two tasks. Even when the underworld was unfolding in Longmen, he could still communicate and think like a normal person from far away in Luxembourg.

For example...

"Miss Yevina, let me test you." Victoria looked at the lady kneeling under the desk and sniffed the bloody fragrance. "How can I kill someone without hurting him?"

Yevina rolled her eyes, then lowered her head and sped up. She wanted to answer the question, but Victoria's hand pressed tightly on her head didn't give her any chance.

Seeing that Yevina didn't want to answer, Victoria looked away and looked at Kashena who had been watching the show on the sofa next to him.

"Ah."

As a partner, Kashena certainly would not give Victoria any face. She twisted her slender waist and came in front of the two of them, and sat astride Victoria in front of Yevina.

"The answer is simple. First, use iron chains to restrain the man's limbs, then strangle his throat with all your might. Just as he's about to lose consciousness from suffocation, pierce his brain with a sharp needle. In this way, a living dead is born. I wonder if this answer satisfies you, Lord Victoria?"

Wine Pool and Meat Forest: 85 Impact on the Throne

Yes, if you want to capture Longmen and get rid of Wei Yanwu, you must find a way to imprison his limbs and strangle his throat.

Penguin Logistics is the most important link among them.

Although this express delivery company is small in scale and has few soldiers and generals, the influence of the emperor is the real soul of this company.

As a renowned beast master, the Emperor's attitude determined the direction of most neutral companies. If the Emperor made a clear move to help Wei Yanwu overcome his difficulties, it would mean that the beast master still believed in Longmen, and these companies would naturally not mind lending a hand.

Similarly, if the emperor sternly rejected Wei Yanwu's request, or was ambiguous in his attitude...

Then they have to think carefully about whether this big ship is still worth their continued investment.

With such a reputation, he could easily be considered one of Longmen's brothers. Interestingly, the Emperor's attitude is influenced by the judgment of his own staff. Despite their often noisy and unruly words, Penguin Logistics is the most united of all factions.

The attitude of every employee will actually affect the company's decision-making.

Therefore, as long as the employees of Penguin Logistics are hired away with a large sum of money, the Emperor's choice can be changed to a certain extent.

Victoria stroked Yevina's hair, but most of his mind was already immersed in the depths of his soul.

After Penguin Logistics, Wei Yanwu's right-hand man is Lin Gerui, the "Rat King" who controls the underworld. While building the underlying order for Longmen, he also hinders the development of the integration movement.

So after solving the easiest problem of Penguin Logistics, Victory turned his attention to the underworld.

As the force closest to the Integration Movement, many people in the underworld are aware of the Integration Movement's annexation process, and this information will gradually be filtered through the complex network of relationships and presented to Lin Gerui, and finally delivered to Wei Yanwu's desk.

As a big boss who has been deeply involved in the underworld for decades, the title of Rat King is not something that ordinary people can shake. Therefore, Victoria does not intend to engage in too many conspiracies and tricks, but simply uses force to defeat tricks and rush forward directly.

Although the Rat King is very famous, there are still many people who do not accept him.

As a gang involved in illegal violence, how many people would like the rules and regulations that hang over everyone's heads? Moreover, the beneficiaries of these rules are not them, but the locals or those who came earlier.

And now is the time when there are the most outsiders in Longmen and the environment is the most chaotic. If we don’t overturn those disgusting rules now, do we have to wait until later to kneel down obediently in front of others?

Therefore, under Alina's instigation, more and more gangsters joined the fight. Longmen's place was limited, and the opportunity to determine its status by strength was only this once.

Especially when the leader of the Integration Movement made it clear that he did not intend to be the head of the Longmen underworld, but that the final winner would take the position, everyone was excited.

The people living on the outskirts of the slums, where fighting was constant on weekdays, stopped quarreling with each other, and they all turned their attention to the deeper, more prosperous and resource-rich urban areas.

An unprecedented underworld feud unfolded in Longmen's Lower Town. Even with the massive police presence of the Royal Guards, the violence was unable to stop. In fact, the frequent police deployments had led to a slackness in many areas, allowing the situation to spread to the Upper Town.

However, after igniting the fire, Alina and the Integration Movement did not go any further. Instead, they remained silent on the periphery, quietly and quickly completing their predetermined goals.

"Sister Alina, let me introduce you. This is my sister, Misha. Now she's also infected..."

Broken Bones, separated for many days, returned to the team, bringing with him a new face. A delicate and lovely face, slightly dark silver hair, a timid expression, and Originium particles dotted around his ankles.

Alina had seen Alex's true appearance, and he bore a striking resemblance to Misha, even down to his size. Perhaps this was the unique connection between twins?

As if sensing Alina's confusion, Broken Bones briefly explained the whole story. It turned out that when Count Boris had taken control of Sergei's family, Misha had not been captured, but had luckily escaped.

Since then, Misha has been hiding and wandering around the city, hoping for the return of her relatives who will never come back, while struggling to survive.

Until the siege of the city by the Integration Movement and the separation of the city.

As the city left, the family that Misha had been holding on to for many years no longer had any meaning. She could only wander around with the crowd and eventually ended up in Longmen.

But fate opened a window for her at this moment. Just after she was infected with oripathy due to natural disasters and the harsh environment in the wild, members of the Reunion Movement miraculously found her.

So, the brother and sister recognized each other, and warmth returned to Misha's world.

This bizarre experience is enough to make most people cry, and Alina naturally would not refuse the joining of a newcomer.

"Welcome to the Reunion Movement. I believe this will be your new home."

The gentle smile warmed the girl's heart, and the slender little hand stretched out before her eyes, as if welcoming her. Having already learned from Alex what had happened to the rest of her family, Misha's nose felt sore, and tears instinctively flowed.

It was already a great blessing to be able to find her long-lost brother, and now, someone was willing to provide them with shelter, which was a dream she had never dared to think about after wandering for so long.

"I, I do. I'm willing to join the Reunion Movement, to fight and live with you. For Alex."

Her slender hand rested on Alina's, and with tears in her eyes, Misha accepted the invitation.

"Not just for Alex, but for yourself, too. Alex has grown into a fine man, and I'm sure he'll be able to protect you from now on." After shaking hands, Alina turned her gaze to the Kingslayer, who was secretly weeping beside her. "Lyudmila, please prepare some suitable clothing for our newcomer. Misha doesn't seem to be good at fighting, but perhaps she can stand behind us as a supporter in the future."

"Yes, leave it to me." The Kingslayer bowed his head slightly and quickly disappeared from the scene. Because of their fathers' shared experiences, the Kingslayer, besides Broken Bones, was the one who could best understand the difficulties faced by the two siblings.

Perhaps for Lyudmila, if she had a younger brother or older sister, the world would not be so cruel.

But it doesn't matter, she believes that she and Misha will become good friends.

After the revenge of the regicide is over.

PS: A rather bittersweet thought occurred to me. If the Regicide always engaged in sexual activity with Victoria, and instead of letting the inner snake escape, he swallowed all the essence. Would that in some sense count as regicide?

Wine Pond and Meat Forest: 86 Descending the Mountain

"*Longmen swears* We have to find a way to increase our police force. The guys at the Royal Guards are already working three shifts non-stop. You know what the situation is like at Longmen right now! If you don't send me more manpower, the customs office will be overwhelmed by those infected people sooner or later!"

Early in the morning, a fierce quarrel broke out in the office of the director of the Guard Bureau.

Due to the unrest in the downtown area and the reticence of a certain penguin, Wei Yanwu had spent a great deal of energy and resources to finally stabilize most of his businesses and family. When he finally found time to inspect the Royal Guards, the three inspectors teamed up to create another problem for him.

Chen Huijie, Shi Huaiya, and the new police inspector Xing Xiong all appeared in the director's office at the same time, which in a sense proved the urgency of the situation.

Chen Huijie, who had the hottest temper, couldn't help but curse. It was only because the three of them were always worthy of their brothers that the officers from the Guard Bureau were willing to work overtime without limits. But if this continued, even if the officers were willing, their bodies would soon give out.

"Don't be anxious yet, sit down and have a cup of tea to calm down."

Seeing this, Xingxiong, the peacemaker, quickly brought a cup of hot tea to stop Chen Sir from talking. Even though what she said was true, her tone made people feel like she was looking for trouble.

No, maybe she was just looking for trouble on purpose. The pressure of this period had caused thick dark circles to appear under Chen Sir's eyes. Perhaps she urgently needed an outlet to vent.

But Wei Yanwu did not come here to be a punching bag. Seeing that Chen Huijie was still angry, Wei Yanwu knocked on his pipe and shifted his gaze to Shi Huaiya who had been sitting quietly.

"What's the current situation at the Guard Bureau?"

"Ahem." Shi Huaiya cleared her throat calmly. "It's basically the same as what Fenchanglong said. There are constant riots in the lower city, and various conflicts and struggles are intensifying. The number of infected people at the customs is increasing, and it takes a lot of energy to deal with them every day. The clues about the integration movement have also been cut off due to lack of manpower. The only thing that is certain is that they did sneak into Longmen. And there are quite a few of them."

Wei Yanwu nodded, feeling comforted by Shi Huaiya's clear and organized manner. "I can find a way to get you some manpower, but support can't be supplied indefinitely. You need to come up with a better plan to handle the various incidents at Longmen. At the very least... prioritize them."

"Isn't that simple?" Chen Huijie snorted coldly. "First, concentrate our forces and arrest all those criminals in the Lower Town. Once the Lower Town environment returns to its previous level, we can withdraw the police force and focus on maintaining customs operations. This will address both the symptoms and the root cause. It will only take a while for Longmen to return to peace."

After listening to Chen Huijie's proposal, Wei Yanwu picked up his teacup and took a sip with a blank expression: "It sounds good, but how long do you mean?"

"One month!" Chen Huijie gritted her teeth and said, "As long as you provide sufficient support, I guarantee that the entire Lower City will be cleaned up within a month."
