Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 263 Hunter

colony.

On an island controlled by Solomon, the gang is holding an internal meeting.

Unlike the ancient architectural styles in the inland areas, everything here has a distinct sense of discontinuity, stemming from the old, broken, and primitive style as well as the temperament of the rulers who settled here.

The Ravens' cooperation with the Solomon Gang dates back to before the Great Plague. After the end of the Western Wars, more and more retired veterans were in a state of disarray, and the Solomon's expansion in the eastern seas became a hunting ground for these people who could no longer live without the smoke of war.

Everything here has been rebuilt after being broken, whether it's the social system or the order.

The military used the simplest and most brutal methods to integrate and transport the resources here.

It includes not only wealth, but also knowledge, talent, and even art.

Solomon, a plundering organization tacitly approved by the royal family, ruthlessly plundered all the resources of this peaceful East Sea, using a portion to offer to the royal city thousands of miles away, but most of it ended up in their own pockets.

While plunder has long lost its significance in the Western wars of overthrowing the old order, it is still an essential element in the establishment of the new order.
One step.

Although the Solomon have gradually broken free from the control of the royal family, they have been labeled as criminals in many parts of the country.

However, it cannot be denied that in an era when the domestic economy was on the verge of collapse, the money needed to establish a new order was all harvested from unfamiliar seas.

As a result, the royal family can only turn a blind eye to those who have made contributions in the past.

There's a joke that goes like this: the reason the law enforcement team has been able to reform, reorganize, and restructure so quickly in recent years is because the vast amount of money spent on it was all plundered from the sea by the Solomon through bloody means. It's just that this money changed hands through the royal city, but no matter how it changed hands, the bloody smell on the gold and silver would never disappear.

As a result, despite having a great deal of criminal evidence against the Solomon gang, law enforcement efforts to suppress the Solomon have been hampered at every turn.

Today, the Solomon Islands are even considered by the public to be an officially recognized criminal organization.

The vast majority of them are no longer regular military members. Although some still retain the insignia of their country's military rank, they have forgotten the oath they took at the beginning.

……

Unauthorized overseas trade routes, unethical biochemical experiments, and illegally established military factories.

This sea area became their paradise for causing chaos.

The vast ocean that cut through the continent became a protective barrier for the Solomon people.

...

"I don't understand the significance of this."

"You don't understand, but I don't understand either."

"Sorry, I was daydreaming for a moment. What were you guys talking about?"

……

Sitting around the long table was a group of middle-aged people dressed in formal attire.

The vast majority of them had obvious scars on their faces, either knife scars or lacerations left by bullet fragments.

It's not hard to see that they still retain some of their former upright character, but now, the traits of businessmen and warlords are even more pronounced.

These are the current rulers of the archipelago.

They were the ones who brought misery to the people of this sea area, and now they stand at the top of the newly established order.

……

"I believe everyone has different opinions on Mr. Raven's demands. I must remind you that Mr. Raven has provided us with a great deal of valuable advice in the development of the southern seas. He is an invaluable... engineer? Well, I'm not sure how to define him."

“An artist,” someone interjected jokingly.

"Perhaps a scientist."

"Then the church should be renamed the Golden Rule Research Institute, hahaha..."

The atmosphere at the meeting was chaotic. The leaders were all expressing their opinions, but no one was saying anything of substance.

……

Around the long table were nearly a dozen leaders, but only two remained silent throughout the entire event.

One of them is a man sitting in the chairman's seat.

He had bronze skin and a metal prosthetic left hand; he was also the only person in the room wearing a military rank insignia.

The other silent one was the raven, sitting at the end of the long table, directly opposite the man.

……

When the man with the missing arm spoke, all the joking around the room stopped instantly.

"May I know, sir, the true purpose of forming an assassin team and all these actions?"

He shook the meeting agenda sheet in his hand, his gaze fixed on the raven.

However, the raven simply replied calmly, "Is it difficult?"

“You should understand that although Solomon and the capital are thousands of miles apart, they have always maintained a tacit understanding. Extending our reach inland might not be a wise decision,” the man said calmly, gently stroking his prosthetic left hand.

"Moreover, I've seen the list of people who formed the team, and these are all excellent people under our command."

“Then you shouldn’t worry that they might meet with misfortune on the other side of the sea,” the raven replied.

“The last brother who died in Nanwei City has already attracted the attention of those people in the royal city. As far as I know, he carried out the assassination on your orders, in front of the law enforcement officer.” The man stared at Raven.

The latter responded, "I performed his funeral service, didn't I?"

……

After a minute-long standoff and silence, the man spoke again:

"I think it's time for a vote, gentlemen. Those who approve of Mr. Raven's proposal, please raise your hands."

He glanced at everyone present.

As a member of this "democratic" organization, Raven naturally took the lead in raising its arm.

...

Unexpectedly, as Raven raised his hand, everyone present, except for the one-armed man who remained motionless throughout, raised their hands to show their stance.

Their gazes suddenly became dull and empty.

They were completely different people compared to just a few minutes ago.

……

Thank you all for your support.

The raven slowly rose to leave its seat.

The one-armed man, no longer glancing at the crowd, asked Raven in a deep voice:
Does this team have a name?

The raven, leaning against the table, considered for a moment and then replied:

"hunter."

……

“I hope you don’t have to handle their funerals, Raven.” The man watched Raven walk out of the conference room.

The raven did not turn back, leaving only this message:

“Monquia is the best I’ve ever met. I have confidence in my own child, and you should have the same confidence in yours.”
