A strange world

Chapter 1001 Chapter 232. Annan’s Promotion

Renaldo, who was reading in the study, learned that Annan was back and asked the housekeeper to bring him.

"How is it?" He asked Annan his impression of the new royal capital.

"People here need redemption."

Renaldo was noncommittal: "What do you want to do?"

"It's still too slow for the Freedom Blade to surround the new royal capital from the town. Can we disintegrate from within the new royal capital?"

"Isn't it already being done?"

"Bring in the Freedom Blade." Annan was referring to Francois, Little Small and the others outside.

Renaldo thought about it seriously: "I'm afraid not. There are informants inside and outside the palace, just like the Purification Court. If there is too much movement, our purpose will be exposed."

The Kingdom is not a target that cannot fight back. On the contrary, it will do many dirty things that Liberty City cannot imagine. Unless you are ready to overturn the table, don't be too conspicuous.

Annan retreated to the next best thing. If there is no way to have greater power with more people, then there will be greater power with fewer people: "I need an identity that allows me to act without restrictions."

"How about I give you a guard captain?"

"Captain?"

What's the use of a captain who can lead only 5 to 10 people at most...

"The number of city guards is limited. There are many eyes watching and many hands trying to reach in. If I appoint someone without any foundation, I will be gossiped."

"Not even the 'nephew' of the Minister of Military Affairs?" Annan asked.

"But you're not really my nephew, are you?"

When the new city guard takes office, someone will definitely investigate. Annan's identity is full of loopholes, and the secret will definitely be revealed by then.

"Oh, right." The Minister of Military Affairs seemed to have thought of something and handed Annan a document printed with confidentiality on the table.

"What's this?"

"The order conveyed by the palace yesterday is to select talents regardless of their status."

"He's anxious."

Annan lowered his head and opened the document. The content was quite normal. The palace wanted to select young talents from all over the kingdom... but there was a question mark as to whether the kingdom was really as normal as the document said.

"You want me to take this path?" Annan shook the document.

"As long as you achieve a few more meritorious deeds, I can get a job as a city guard officer in the Ministry of Military Affairs..."

Annan roughly calculated the time it would take for the Freedom Blade to reach the city, nodded and said, "Then give it a try."

To a certain extent, Annan, who was once the King of the North, is starting from scratch - at most, he has a military minister and a few parliamentarians to back him up.

"I do have an idea now."

…

"Sheafield, can I trust you?"

Outside the gate of Sable Gang, Annan looked at Sheafield seriously.

"Everything I have is given by you. No matter what you want me to do, I will go through fire and water and lead the gang to the front!"

During his half-day as the new boss, Sheafield has lived a life that was unimaginable before.

The awe-inspiring looks of people on the street, not being dismissed as idle gangsters, the women's longing for the strong, and the fact that their subordinates will do their best to do whatever they say——

Sheafield used to despise the rich and nobles for being domineering, and even wanted to join the Freedom Blade to overthrow them. Now he just wants to be them.

Annan was a little uncomfortable with Shearfield's transformation, and thought he would say something like, "I never knew it was so cool to be a big shot."

But that’s okay too.

"Very well, gather all the gang members. I will lead the guards to annihilate your gang later."

"Gah?"

Countless memories of the brief time spent with Annan flashed through Shearfield's mind... fucking nobles, sinister politicians, and scoundrels. Sure enough, they couldn't believe it——

"Then you go here with the looted property and the gang members who have not committed any crime. Remember to give your gang a new name." Annan handed him an address.

Sheafield's mood changed so much in a short period of time that he took the parchment numbly and said blankly: "The Sable Gang..."

"Didn't I say it? I'm going to lead my men to destroy them. By the way, find a guy you don't like and give him the boss, just use that secret arrow to sneak up on me."

"Didn't you treat him as my deputy?"

"Oh, I forgot...then pick the one who looks like the boss. By the way, he hasn't done dirty work before?"

Sheafield shook his head: "He's too young, he hasn't had time yet..."

Annan and Sheafield both ignored the small problems of stealing and looting. After all, in the new royal capital, it is impossible for an honest person to survive.

Annan needed Sheafield's help if he wanted to be promoted. He patted the reserved Sheafield and said, "Don't be timid. Remember, behind you is the Minister of Military Affairs, and behind the Minister of Military Affairs is me."

"good……"

Sheafield seems to see a bright future, but is he saying the opposite?

"Um... sir, I don't know your name yet."

"My name is Olme..." Thinking that the name Olme happened to be used by Francois, he continued to use it: "Young Master Olme, the temporary captain of the guard."

"temporary?"

"The city guard will be here soon."

Sheafield was about to feel envious when he suddenly remembered that he was Master Olme's gray glove. The higher his status, the safer he is.

"Okay, Master Olme."

"Get ready to go. I'll bring someone over in 30 minutes."

Annan left with his front foot, and Sheafield called Tiger over with his back foot - he was the gang's thug second only to the boss of Hoth. His muscles were taut and he stood there with great pressure.

Shearfield picked Tiger because he was the second-in-command in the gang and his evil deeds were second only to Boss Hoss, not because he was dissatisfied with himself.

"I have decided to make you the boss."

"Stop testing, I recognize you as the boss." The tiger is just strong, but not brainless.

"It's not a test. I found that the ideas of the Sable Gang and I don't agree with each other. I'm ready to leave."

With that said, Shearfield arranged for his deputy, the little boy, to gather his chosen men.

Tiger looked at it for a long time and said in a low voice: "Really give it to me?"

"Um."

The strong tiger held it in for a long time before he said coyly: "...I admit that my voice was a little loud when you came."

Sheafield almost couldn't bear to accept him, but when he thought of the girl's skin in this guy's room, he struggled to hide his disgust.

The puzzled gang members were gathered together. He did not explain because time was running out. He patted Tiger on the shoulder: "I'll leave the Sable Gang to you. Let's go!"

Tiger saw that Sheafield really left with a group of trash, and before he had time to be happy——

Bang——!

The door to the Sable Gang was kicked open.

"Looking for death! Who the hell dares-"

Annan broke into the Sable gang with ten strong guards assigned to him by Renado, and shouted coldly:

"City Guards, catch the murderer!"
