Shadow Empire

Chapter 435 Dream Crystal [666+12]
Director Bru is describing a very simple truth, which is also a very real and cruel truth -

If you live in the sewer, don't try to find the truth.

Because hope is more important than the truth!
I hope that many people can support their broken bodies and continue to live in this dirty world.

But the truth often destroys people's belief in living.

The truth is not cruel, it is just real, but the truth is cruel.

When a pair of parents desperately searched for their child lying in the morgue, piecing her together with inferior needle and thread, is this the truth they wanted?

What’s worse is that they will not be punished for doing such an outrageous thing, simply because they are so high up!
Maybe at that moment, what they wanted was that none of this had happened, so that when they lay in bed at night, they could still see that happy, smiling girl in their dreams.

Seeing her living happily in a place I have never been to.

Instead of appearing in front of you in this form.

From the perspective of Chief Blue, it is not worth it to offend a group of Bay Area dignitaries for the sake of a refugee girl.

Lance shook his head. "That's not true, Blue."

"If someone says to you 'it's not fair' and you don't think it's unfair, you're an accomplice to them."

"You can ignore them, not ask questions, and watch them slide towards the abyss on one end of the tilted scale without doing anything."

"When one day you have to face the same thing, will you hope that someone can lend you a helping hand?"

"Just like the father who is kneeling in front of me and crying loudly at this moment, he may have never kneeled down to anyone in his life, but now, he is kneeling down."

"He just wants justice, fairness, and the truth!"

"What God can't give him, I will give him, what he wants, justice, fairness, and the fucking truth!"

Lance slammed the table hard. Chief Blue on the other end of the phone could hear the anger in Lance's words, and his breathing was particularly clear.

Chief Blue knew that Lance was angry.

Lance took a few deep breaths to even out his breath, and his tone became calm again.

"Or do you want to be their accomplice?"

A chill crept up along the groove between his buttocks, and he suddenly felt very cold, with his hair standing on end.

He thought that it might be because he was old and that he only felt cold once, unlike when he was young, when he felt full of energy many times.

But his alarm bells that kept ringing told him that this was murderous intent!
Floating over the phone line was a strong murderous intent that wanted to kill anyone!
He felt a sense of crisis as if he was about to suffocate while breathing the air!
So he spoke out some of what he knew, "I know there is a group of people who specialize in selecting prey for them."

"Tell me their names." Lance's voice was flat, but Chief Blue knew that those people were in big trouble!

"Dream Crystal Agency, a company that signs female models, is located in the Starlight District. Their main job is to find print models, and they also search for prey for the wealthy people in the Bay Area."

"Lance, I won't stop you, I just hope you..."

Snapped!
The call was hung up. Chief Blue looked at the receiver in his hand. For a moment, his mind went blank, or perhaps chaotic.

He then called Alberto. He was not familiar with the Starlight District and did not want to assign a large number of people to investigate. He needed someone who knew.

Alberto is discussing with Francisco how to distribute part of the assets left by the Cassia family, and a part of it must remain in their own hands.

But there was still some to give away, and now was the time for Francisco to gain support and prestige.

Especially at times like this, he cannot be overly greedy. He must show the tolerance, magnanimity, and forgetfulness that a ruler should have.

"How can I help you?"

"gentlemen?"

He joked with Lance in a waiter's tone and gave Francisco a "wait a minute" look.

Soon his expression turned serious, and he could tell that Lance was in a bad mood.

"I think I've heard of it. Wait for me a moment."

He didn't hang up the phone, but looked at Francisco, "He has something to ask about a location."

He walked outside and knocked on the door. Several people in the distance looked over here and said, "Go ask if anyone knows where the Dream Crystal Agency is?"

Several people immediately walked outside. He returned to the office and picked up the phone to ask Lance what happened. "Your emotions tell me that something is wrong with you now."

Lance just got angry, so it was a little different. People are always controlled by their emotions.

If a person can ignore all emotions, including joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, and not take them to heart, he is not a human being, but a Bodhisattva in the temple, or a god.

He told him what had happened and Alberto sighed. He had also heard these rumors. "Is there anything I can help you with?" This matter is complicated and may, or will definitely, affect the powerful people in the Bay Area.

Alberto had done him a favor, so he would not drag Alberto into this. “No, no need. I can handle it myself. When I can’t handle it, I will contact you again.”

"Don't worry, I just want to find him back."

Alberto gave a few instructions, "No matter what, if you need me, just let me know."

"I'll ask our people to help look for it. Maybe the situation isn't that bad..."

Soon Fordis came back trotting with an address. Alberto told Lance the address, and then Lance hung up the phone.

"What's wrong with him?" Francisco asked from the side, and Fordis also put his hands on his waist and looked at him, as if he wanted to know this.

After looking at Francisco for a while, he decided to tell these things to let the boy know in advance how dark the world is. Maybe it is a little cruel to him now, but for his growth, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

Francisco's hair almost stood up after hearing this!

"These people deserve to die. We can't just do nothing!"

Alberto nodded and said, "Let's not rush in. It might ruin Lance's plan. We can do something else to help him."

He looked at Fordis and said, "Prepare some vehicles and find two reliable gunmen to help him draw some firepower when necessary."

"And find a boat, in case he needs to go on a trip or something at the end of the day."

Francisco couldn't help but frown and asked, "Will the situation be so bad?"

Alberto was also confused, "I don't know."

He really didn't know that the Bay Area has always been the real master of this city. They control the vast majority of businesses here and have good relations with the three major parties in Likalai State and the state government.

The most terrifying thing about capital is that they can use money to silently collude to form a network of interests and entangle everyone.

But it is also possible that everything is going smoothly. He doesn't know and can only take it one step at a time.

After Lance got the address, he wrote it down on a card. He then called Hiram and Lawn and asked them to take their men and weapons and head directly to the destination.

To get from the Empire District to the Starlight District, you have to take Highway 9 via the expressway. Here, the entire city seems to be divided into two parts.

On one side are the increasingly prosperous metropolises, and on the other side are the poor and backward slums. In fact, life is indeed unfair.

Some people are born at the finish line, while some are not even born qualified to get on the track.

This world has never been fair.

He also doesn't know whether he is qualified to give others the justice and fairness they want.

But he will try to do it when he knows these things and someone needs him.

The convoy blended into the traffic flow, just like a trickle of water blending into the ocean and disappeared.

At this time, in the studio of Dream Crystal Agency in the Bay Area, some photographers were sorting photos.

Their job is to find girls with excellent conditions in this city and surrounding cities.

Many girls actually have pink, beautiful, sweet, or other but good dreams.

They want a better life and don't mind trying, or maybe some girls don't know how to say no.

They often start by asking "Can I take a picture of you?" to get the girls' profiles.

They also provide print models for many media outlets and even provide nude photos for "Chat".

There are always some girls who want to make quick money. Taking a set of photos for "Chao Bao" can earn them ten or twenty yuan, which is equivalent to half a month's income for an ordinary worker.

But for them, this is just a few hours' income.

Recently, as talkies began to flourish, company bosses thought it possible to send some of the contracted female models to film. The value of a movie star was much greater than that of a print model or a Fashion Girl.

Of course, in addition to these jobs, they also provide photo albums for the Bay Area's dignitaries.

Then they inquired about prices based on the girls in the photo album, placed orders, and finally received the goods.

For the "scouts" here, this is a very wonderful job: easy, high-paying, and there are free girls to sleep with.

Girls who dream of becoming stars don't mind sleeping with them at night to get more exposure.

Some scouts feel that this is simply the happiest job in the world. Even if they are not paid, they are willing to work at their own expense!
Several scouts were looking through the freshly developed photos, which were to be sent to "Chat". They kept commenting on the girls' figures, or someone would talk about their performance in bed, and their laughter was as vulgar as it could be.

Little did they know that a big trouble had already arrived downstairs!
