"Oh~ my dear friend, you finally returned, I need your assistance."
Sabo's somewhat sharp voice rang out, not much tense, but his irritation was noticeable.
"Law Enforcement Officer?" Mr. Baiyi was also a bit troubled, surveying the scene, Sabo had involved other Zhong City and obtained support from all the Border Cities. What he had done posed no major issues, but he actually established diplomatic relations with the Abyss Lord.
This had always been a taboo for the Federation, and the law enforcer this time could only be described as harboring ill intent.
"You knew all along, my friend, I'm in prison now, could you bail me out?" Sabo said with a hint of helplessness: "I clearly adhered to the law, and before this, they never said we couldn't conduct business with the Abyss Lords."
Mr. Baiyi: ....
It wasn't that there was no legislation, just that no one could do business with the Abyss creatures.
After all, before Sabo, who would've thought someone could do business with the Abyss Lords, who only know how to fight?
"I understand, I'll resolve this matter, and you will receive 10% from future profits." Mr. Baiyi contemplated for a moment before speaking.
"My friend, you truly are my most generous leader." Sabo's tone was filled with excitement, all irritations vanished.
"Alright, enjoy your rare prison experience, you might not get to enjoy it again." Mr. Baiyi said, cutting off communication, he stood up, glanced at the Divine Showcase, and walked outside.
He needed to clean up after this guy, who caused even more trouble than he could handle.
But now, Dongwu City's resources were sufficient, some development plans could commence.
Arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, Eric hadn't returned, within a month, the Inner City District had undergone significant changes.
The City Lord should still be admiring the prosperity that now belonged to Dongwu City.
"Mr. Baiyi..."
"Mr. Baiyi..."
At the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion, two members of Apocalypse were still on guard, Mr. Baiyi inquired: "Is the law enforcement officer from the Capital City inside?"
"Not here, Lady Oganna went to the Finance Officer's house for questioning, but Lady Oganna said to notify her upon your return, should we inform her?" The elf soldier cautiously asked.
Oganna is also an elf, and belongs to the official department, a Golden Upper Tier. She has good relations with the five Elf Legislators, an undeniable force within the Federation.
It was this elf swordsman who had left a message at Evil Thought back then.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for her in the City Lord's Mansion." Mr. Baiyi nodded, walking into the City Lord's Mansion.
He made his way to the backyard and sat in a pavilion, with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.
The Abyss is filled with slaughter and madness, within the Lord's territory all property belongs to the Lord, and Ancient Gods are somewhat similar, seeing their followers mostly as assets.
However, a small portion of Ancient Gods show some respect to their followers, like the Dark Monarch and some less arrogant Ancient Gods.
But that respect is limited.
Therefore, a character like Sabo, unless his life is threatened, isn't one to worry about betrayal, but this is something Mr. Baiyi came to understand after many collaborations with Sabo.
Those in the parliament wouldn't know this, to them, anything involved in transactions with the Abyss or other evil dimensions is heretic.
If it weren't for the unique circumstances of the Border City, the parliament might have arrested people directly instead of imprisoning them, waiting for Mr. Baiyi and Eric's return.
Of course, Heidinger navigated through this, staying at the city to guard it, although he doesn't manage affairs, until Mr. Baiyi and Eric's return, nothing substantial would change here.
As he pondered, a feeling of extreme sharpness came over him, Mr. Baiyi turned his head to see a silver-haired elf entering the City Lord's Mansion, walking directly towards him.
Her gaze was sharp, although she and Aileen are both members of the Moonlight Tribe, her demeanor is completely different.
"Mr. Baiyi, I'm Oganna, the chief of Law Enforcement Hall. Let's discuss how to handle Finance Officer Sabo." Oganna said calmly.
"Handle? Did he violate any laws?" Mr. Baiyi inquired curiously.
"Establishing diplomatic relations with the Abyss, surely you understand its implications. Although he hasn't caused any actual harm, he still needs to be imprisoned for fifteen years, if no anomalies occur after fifteen years, only then will he be released." Oganna said coldly.
"Law Enforcer, you're being unreasonable, without legislation, there's no basis for judgment, and newly established laws can't judge past offenses." Mr. Baiyi replied with a smile.
Oganna looked at her calmly, sensing something, she frowned: "What if I insist on taking him away?"
Mr. Baiyi's expression gradually faded, he looked at her calmly: "Law Enforcement Officer, actions should be backed by evidence, this is Dongwu City, not your Capital City. Now in Dongwu City... I call the shots."
Oganna looked at him, her sharp aura flickering, after a while she dispersed her aura, turned calmly: "I'll convey your message to the parliament, let's see if you're still this headstrong in the Judicial Court."
Mr. Baiyi didn't respond, watching Oganna leave quietly. He rubbed his brows helplessly: "Send a message to Law Enforcement Hall, tell them to release him."
Zero: [Message sent.]
He gazed at the crescent moon in the sky, silently waiting.
About ten minutes later, Sabo's familiar silhouette appeared outside the pavilion: "My friend, your efficiency is as impressive as ever, care to hear about my gains over the past six months?"
