Extraordinary pedigree

Xia Xiu held a silver cane in his hand and sat quietly on the seat in the passenger pick-up area while chatting in his mind.

Surrounded by hurried travelers and farewell scenes, he seemed to be isolated from it all and had his own peace.

Beside him, a dog with white fur and red eyes and a cat with gray fur and green eyes were prostrate quietly, occasionally wagging their tails, seemingly enjoying this rare moment of peace.

Dududu——

Just when this tranquility was about to be completely engulfed by the surrounding noise, the sound of an approaching car engine came from the distance, breaking the brief peace.

The sound got closer and closer, until a Chrysler Crossfire convertible slowly drove into Xia Xiu's sight with its unique elegance.

The design of the sports car has smooth lines, exuding a low-key yet luxurious aesthetic, and the silver body shines softly in the sunset.

Xia Xiu raised his head, his eyes passed through the crowded passenger pick-up and drop-off area, and landed on the driver's seat of the Chrysler Crossfire convertible.

There, a boy who seemed to be only thirteen or fourteen years old was sitting in the driver's seat. He had unusual features - the boy had fox ears and a tail. These two obviously non-human features appeared on him. It's so natural, as if it's an innate part of him.

The fox-eared boy's outfit is also eye-catching. He is not wearing regular clothes, but a vest similar to a tactical field service. The vest is full of pockets and details. Over this vest, he also wore a black coat. The overall outfit made him look a little weird.

Dududu——

At this moment, the fox-eared boy honked the car's horn, and the clear voice made a special note in the hustle and bustle of the airport, obviously signaling Xia Xiu to get in the car.

His fox-like eyes were also frantically signaling the blond young man to get in the car quickly.

"Long time no see, Tours."

Xia Xiu stood up from his seat. The silver cane he held in his hand flashed a streak of silver light in the air, and then he lightly opened the passenger door of the Chrysler Crossfire convertible.

He sat in the car smoothly, placing his cane gently on his legs with a comfortable posture. The cat and dog behind him seemed a little embarrassed when facing this sports car with only two seats. But they quickly found their position and chose to stand directly on the rear wing of the car, standing firmly against the body.

Turs couldn't help but turn his head and glance at the cat and dog standing on the tail fin behind him, wagging their tails.

The corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, and his expression at that moment seemed to say: "As long as you are happy."

He didn't say much.

The fox-eared boy skillfully operated the sports car, lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the Chrysler Crossfire convertible slowly drove out of the parking space.

With the engine humming and the tires scraping slightly against the ground, the Chrysler Crossfire Roadster slowly drove out of the pick-up area at LaGuardia Airport and began its journey toward Manhattan Island.

The sports car shuttled through the evening city traffic, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky orange-red, giving this busy city a layer of warm color.

The fox-eared boy was driving a sports car. His fox ears trembled slightly in the soft light and his tail swayed slightly. Next to him, Xia Xiu was holding a silver cane and sitting in the passenger seat. His blond hair seemed to be coated with a layer of golden light in the sunset, and his golden eyes were deep and calm.

The scene coexists harmoniously to a certain extent.

But when the blond young man spoke, this warmth disappeared.

"Are the relevant laws of the Edici Federation so open? A kid can get a driver's license and is he still allowed to go out on the streets?"

The breeze ruffled the blond hair of the blond young man, and he asked Turs with a curious look on his face.

It's coming, it's coming, the familiar feeling of cerebral hemorrhage is coming again.

The fox-eared boy holding the steering wheel had his veins twitching unconsciously, "At my age, I can take any form of driver's license, anything!"

"It seems that the Edici Federation does not judge books by their appearance." Xia Xiu nodded clearly.

"Haha." A half-hearted smile appeared on Turs's face. This golden retriever still looks the same as before.

"How is the progress of the Administration's work in the federation?" Xia Xiu, after teasing a few old employees, began to ask about business, "I came to the Edici Federation with a mission this time, and Adam is already managing it. In terms of the bureau's peripheral pedigree, relevant work schedules have been delegated to units at all levels. My first step in coming to Edici this time is to implement the construction of the headquarters of the bureau in Edici Federation and expand the bureau. Federal influence in Edici.”

Hearing the greetings from his boss, Tours' expression became serious.

This time, Hugh Abraham is stationed in the Edici Federation as a decision-maker and the highest commander of the Administration. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fourth sword-bearer of the Kingdom of Heaven is sent abroad this time to accumulate political capital for the candidate competition, and it is also the reality of the other party. A preliminary attempt was made to take full control of the Authority.

"It's very troublesome."

Tours first briefly and comprehensively expressed the situation of the Administration in Edici to the Golden Retriever boss.

"The first is the construction of the headquarters. At present, the administration is really short of manpower. Here, except for me, Pansy Jane, and the brain in a vat you brought a while ago, the internal decision-makers related to you are all Angels dispatched from various departments and factions in the Kingdom of Titian.

To be honest, our integration with them is not very good. Although the Angels are of high quality and have strong execution ability, there is still a certain psychological gap between them and the local staff of the Administration.

Moreover, the financial laws have too strong restrictions on angels, coupled with the malicious and targeted corruption of the followers of the Four Monarchs and Chaos, causing the [Prosecutor] as the command system to frequently make mistakes in manipulation. I have some very bad news here. It seems that the believers of the Four Monarchs have begun to issue hunting orders for the angels of the Edici Federation. The Administration already has eight Administration teams and three Kingdom of Heaven teams in their hands. Among them, the loss of two heavenly teams is related to [Messiah].

Also, the system of [Executive Officers] and [Prosecutors] has seriously hindered the development of the organization. If the Administration wants to completely establish a foothold in Edici and expand its influence to 50 states, and even border areas, Golden Shu Zhujie..., then necessary organizational reforms must be implemented. The current organizational relationship structure can no longer keep up with the changes in the current situation. "

There is a shortage of talents, there are too few internal political forces of its own, the initial talent system of the Administration cannot keep up with the changes in the new world, the command system is targeted by Chaos, and the Messiah is a troublemaker...

Xia Xiu tapped the silver cane in his hand with his index finger, summarizing Tours' report in his mind.

The early dual-officer system of the Administration: the [Executive Officer] was served by non-Heavenly Kingdom members, the [Prosecutor] was served by members of the Heavenly Kingdom pedigree, and the [Executive Officer] and [Prosecutor] formed an inspection team. The standard configuration of each team was three It is composed of five [Executive Officers] and one [Prosecutor], allowing for the implementation of a return policy, which means that [Executive Officers] have the opportunity to become regular members of the Kingdom of Heaven genealogy.

This system is the most stable system and is applicable to the countries of the Central Alliance, even the Broken Ring area of ​​the Oletin Empire and the border areas of the Daev Empire.

But in the current version environment of the Edici Federation, it seems very backward.

The relevant financial laws of [Financial Street] intervene and target ordinary angels, coupled with the encirclement and hunting of the Four Monarchs, other believers of other gods, and the Messiah...

"It really needs to be changed." Xia Xiu said, squinting his eyes slightly.

Hearing these words, Tours breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his presentation of the problem was not over yet. There were many messy things going on in the administration.

He works in the Edici Federation and has accumulated a lot of political issues these days. Now that someone from above finally comes, he must finish them all in one breath.

"The other one is the construction address of the headquarters of the Administration. The Edici Federation has given us a very bad strategic cooperation area, and the most important thing is that the Administration itself has been completely destroyed by the local institutions of Edici. Empty."

Tours began to recite part of the "Strategic Joint Agreement" that had been made public with a gloomy look.

"According to part of the content of the "Strategic Joint Agreement" announced now: New York State has officially become a strategic identification area for both parties (Heavenly Kingdom and Edici Government) to disclose in real time the lists of internal personnel and prospective members of both organizations in the city. , unified arrangements and deployment, and all infrastructure on both sides are provided for two-way convenience by members on the list.

Establish a joint task force and grassroots administrative forces to share strategic intelligence from both sides, coordinate actions, balance and complement each other, and give full play to superior forces to be responsible for clearing out the imperial forces (Deva and Oletin) in the Edici region and attacking and destroying their strategic intentions, and Local information security is guaranteed to safeguard the common rights and interests of both parties. The highest command authority belongs to the "Edici and Heavenly Kingdom Collaboration Command Center". Each party has three command leaders. The same level will discuss action deployment. The specific administrative management methods are not exhaustive. The decision was made jointly by all the people. "

After Turs recited the treaty, he began to complain to Xia Xiu.

"According to the agreement, the Authority, the Edici Government and the Mayflower Foundation will jointly create a peace organization. With this three-party force as the leader, other forces will be invited to join the organization to jointly safeguard the new world. The full name of this joint organization is For——[New World Paranormal Organization Peace and Friendship Covenant Organization].

The organization is known simply as ‘New Alliance’ and the current New Alliance structure has multiple internal departments.

The first is the nominally highest authority department - [New Alliance Paranormal Organization Council], which consists of: top directors, department directors, and jesters/minions (alien or abnormal paranormal organizations) who oversee local paranormal relations policies representatives), the Council holds regular meetings to discuss various issues in the new world.

However, he actually has no substantive power. Regarding sanctions, he will only ratify the content of lower-level committees. Therefore, the position of Supreme Councilor has always been vacant. They said it was reserved for the Kingdom of Heaven to show their sincerity, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was a vacant position.

Next is the real power department - [Defense Planning Committee]: a committee responsible for handling force sanctions, supervision, dispute prevention, defense cooperation and other matters between franchised organizations. In order to comprehensively handle cases related to safety and security, this department has the greatest authority among all departments.

The Administration is alone in the Defense Committee, and other armed units are following orders from the Administration rather than announcing them. The current Edici government and the Mayflower Foundation basically have a monopoly on the control of the Defense Committee.

The situation is similar for other departments, such as the Economic Adjustment Commission, the Mediation Court, and the Local Cultural Administration. As the nominal three giants of the New Alliance, the Administration has now been completely ignored by the local government. "

A little worse than expected.

After Xia Xiu heard this, he calmly turned the silver cane in his hand.

This silver cane is made of exquisite craftsmanship and is made of a shining silver material. The texture is hard and smooth, reflecting the light from the outside and shining with a soft and unobtrusive light.

He didn't have the habit of carrying a cane before, but now he does.

Because this cane is the trophy he brought back from Callisto, the embodiment of a quarter of the miracle fragment.

"You just said that the headquarters location arranged by the New Alliance for the Administration is a very bad strategic cooperation area?" The blond young man turned the miracle fragment in his hand and continued to ask curiously.

"Yes, very bad."

Tours had been driving west for some time along the Grand Central Parkway, one of the main thoroughfares from the airport to Manhattan.

Vehicles travel on this expressway, flanked by landscapes unique to the New World—dense buildings, lush parks, and the occasional flash of the water of the Hudson River.

As vehicles get closer to the city center, high-rise buildings begin to become denser and traffic becomes busier.

"Have you heard of Hell's Kitchen in the Edici Federation?" Tours asked Xia Xiu.

"Hell's Kitchen?"

Xia Xiu raised his eyebrows slightly.

He had read relevant reports from the Edici government. A reporter from the New York Times once went to West 30th Street with a police guide. He wanted to investigate the multiple murders that occurred there. He called a particularly notorious property on 39th Street and 10th Avenue "Hell's Kitchen" and said the entire neighborhood was "probably the meanest and filthiest place in the city."

The area is named for its past poverty, high crime rate, and history associated with gang activity.

"It seems you know that area, the area bounded by 34th Street to the south, 59th Street to the north, Eighth Avenue to the east, and the Hudson River to the west. This area provides transportation, medical and medical services to the business district of midtown Manhattan. The support of the warehouse infrastructure—that’s all of Hell’s Kitchen as well.”

Speaking of Hell's Kitchen, there's a lingering gloom on Touls' face.

"Since New York fell and became the city of the New World, that place has completely turned into a piece of shit. Gangsters, secret sects, followers of evil gods, followers of the Four Monarchs, dependents of the stars, monsters from other worlds, scum, and killers , a perverted murderer, a streaking psychopath..."

"No one is fucking normal."

As he spoke, Tours deftly turned at the entrance to the Queens Midtown Tunnel and crossed the East River, one of the important passages into Manhattan Island.

The lights in the tunnel flowed over the hood of the sports car, like slices of time. After passing through the tunnel, they entered the streets of Manhattan, turned west, and along the busy road, gradually approached the location of Hell's Kitchen.
