Overturned Tower

Chapter 142 The Godfather’s Mediation

Although the people in the upper area do not think that the existence of angels has any inevitable significance.

But in fact, the deterrent power of angels is quite high.

Recently, the most high-profile underground organizations, including the Veil of Ignorance and the Eternal Reincarnation, have been forced to retreat from their locations in the "Tian'en District" in the center of the city to the borders.

A long time ago, being able to occupy this area was proof of status——

Some of them are strong and united enough to seize this area from other colleagues; they dare to stay closest to the execution department without being driven out to death, which shows that they are not afraid of the execution department and can Carry out aggressive actions without fear of retaliation. This will naturally attract other uncensored people to vote.

There are a large number of criminals among the Uncoded... There are indeed a lot of bastards, but there are very few real idiots.

They know very well that given their position and identity, they must stick together to survive.

But angels also live in the executive department.

No matter which direction they patrol, they must be "refreshed" from the Xiacheng District corresponding to Tian'en District.

This means that just living below Tianen District becomes a fatal risk.

The two most popular areas at present are below the pendulum area near the snow mountain, which is the prison, and below the compass area between the Ling Pendulum area and Tian'en area.

The former is the area occupied by the Veil of Ignorance, while the latter is the eternal cycle of reincarnation.

This was the territory assigned to them by their godfather.

——Although it was said at the beginning that they wanted to unite to fight against the angels.

But it's okay to cooperate with other organizations... After a month of trying, the two of them still can't fight side by side.

The main reason is that they lack leaders who can convince both parties at the same time.

Only when the godfather occasionally appears can he temporarily mediate the conflicts between them.

And this in turn deepens the authority of the godfather... and makes it even more difficult for other leaders to convince the public. Once one side suffers more sacrifices than the other, the two sides will quarrel after the war.

In order to avoid civil war, they had to separate temporarily. And because of the pressure brought by the angels, they did not dare to spread too far apart, so they kept the possibility of supporting each other for the time being.

However, the battle situation in Xiacheng District gradually stabilized.

It's not because the angels don't work hard or the number of mages suddenly increased explosively - the reason is actually very simple.

That is, under the pressure of the angels, the mercenary groups that were originally free from these criminal organizations were forced to choose a force to join.

These mercenaries were originally free men...and there were definitely no mages among them.

But they are also Uncoded and illegal psykers. And they have definitely committed crimes such as murder, robbery and theft, so it is impossible for the angels to hold back on them.

It is impossible for mercenaries in squad mode to fight against angels.

They are also uncoded people and criminals. They cannot live in the upper city and will be killed in the lower city, so they can only choose to attach themselves to the group...

On the contrary, this has caused that with the changes in the form of war, the combat power of the psychics of those criminal organizations has not decreased but increased.

After all, these mercenaries can be said to be elites in all battles.

Compared with those criminal organizations that only know how to bully civilians, or engage in group warfare to bully the many...the main targets of the mercenaries, in addition to the elite prosthetic bodyguards, are other mercenaries.

Their joining has significantly increased the combat capabilities of these organizations. And it allowed them to make up for a huge shortcoming.

That's intelligence.

These criminal organizations have always robbed whatever they wanted. Even if it is not for the sake of benefit, he will attack others for the sake of existence, fun and revenge. Naturally, it is impossible for anyone to communicate with them.

Mercenaries are relatively more lawful. At least they have a middleman who can reason with them.

So after the mercenaries joined, the organization in Xiacheng District quickly evolved a new mode of action.

——That is to let the mercenaries receive orders in batches, and then they help the mercenaries complete them. Then rely on the mercenary's "account" to purchase supplies and information.

In this way, these mercenaries become similar to contractors...

Originally, these mercenaries were very cautious when accepting tasks.

Because if the task cannot be completed, there will be punishment. And it is impossible for them to appear in multiple places at the same time. If they don't get enough rest, they may easily have problems when performing tasks.

But not anymore.

As long as the pay is reasonable, you can take it with your eyes closed. Even if there is a time conflict, it doesn't matter. They don't care if it's dangerous or not... Anyway, those tasks are done by others.

There are many of them. As long as there are more people, many difficulties will no longer be difficulties.

So now the mode for mercenaries to take on tasks has become "grabbing orders."

——I don’t care whether I can complete it or not, but I’ll grab it first.

After grabbing it, go back and distribute it to others in the organization. They can take a commission from it, and all they have to pay in the middle is the reputation guarantee... which is the penalty for failure of the mission.

Unlike other uncensored people with low desires. Mercenaries have adapted to this lifestyle of "temporarily returning to the uptown" through intermediaries.

A mercenary who is rich enough can theoretically even own his own villa in the uptown area - as long as he does not install an Internet-connected smart home and does not go out and walk under the camera, no one will know that the owner is actually an uncoded person. The middleman can also argue against the executive branch, "We are not providing housing to the uncoded, but they have cracked the key and moved in when the owner is not at home."

They can even enjoy wine, food, and beautiful women normally. It's just that they can't order it themselves, but have to use a middleman as an intermediary to deliver it directly to their door.

Of course, the rent of this villa will definitely not be cheap.

When they run out of money and return to downtown, they will long for this kind of life back under the sun even more. Therefore, they will work harder to take orders for middlemen.

Then if someone grabs too many good orders, they can easily fight.

Grandma Lan's commission to the "Godfather" was to mediate the conflict between the two groups of mercenaries.

At least don't let them fight in the open, causing trouble for other guests and attracting the attention of the executive department.

Originally, Grandma Lan had already conducted a round of mediation. She arranged a full hot spring service for the two of them - after soaking in the hot spring, they received oil massages from the two bunny girls. That will relax your body and mind, and in that state you can have a more rational and gentle conversation.

After all, they themselves are not enemies. But after all, both of them are generals under Grandma Lan, so she can't be biased.

But unexpectedly, these two people were too vulgar and refused to give in.

Before the massage was over, the annoyance and ridicule gradually turned into yelling, then attacks by throwing teacups at each other, and then a scuffle.

The two little girls had already stopped what they were doing and were cowering in the corner of the room with some fear.

They had a vague feeling that these two people dared to kill people. Not only can it be judged from their words and deeds, but also the bloody smell can be vaguely felt.

——Rabbits are very sensitive in this regard.

And when they were already considering whether to jump out of the window and escape, the door suddenly opened.

The first one to enter was Grandma Lan. Her entrance attracted the attention of both men, but the movements of their hands did not stop.

But after that, the young man with blue hair and ponytail walked in calmly.

At that moment, it was like pressing the pause button. Their movements and expressions were frozen together.

The girls were very sensitive, and the fear and nervousness were very clear on the faces of the two of them.

Both of those people are canine soul relatives.

It's like a domestic dog that, after tearing down the house, sees its owner come home, tuck its tail and flatten its ears, and hide in the corner shaking non-stop.

So they were full of curiosity about the young man.

He doesn't look vicious or violent... Although he is not as handsome and cute as Ultramarine, this young man has a straight back, thick shoulders, and always slightly squinted eyes giving people a warm and broad feeling.

Like the brother next door, the gentle senior, the baker standing in a room filled with the aroma of bread.

It doesn't look offensive in any way.

But the young man came in, took out a stool, sat in front of the two of them, crossed his legs, and looked at them quietly.

The two men slowly let go of each other's collars.

"Fight?"

The young man didn't get angry, he just smiled and asked gently: "No fight?"

There was silence.

No one dared to respond or even look directly at the young man.

The arrogant wild wolf turned into a dog with its tail between its legs in front of him.
