"Cats just need to meow, why are you talking like a human?"
"Hmph, you bad Emerald! You were the one who did something ridiculous and wrong before, and now that it's been exposed, you're still getting angry and embarrassed, you weirdo... You're not allowed to bully the cat!"
Yulia couldn't bear to watch any longer and rushed forward, seemingly trying to rescue Pancake. However, her strength was clearly much greater than that of Emerald, and in the struggle, she only caused Pancake more damage and more pain...
"Meow... Meow knew you human females wouldn't do anything right... Yulia, you idiot, let go of me! Meow, you're going to tear me in two!"
The beach was filled with joy amidst the screams of Fat Cat Pancake.
. . . . .
After playing on the beach until almost sunset, the four girls and one cat used teleportation magic to return to Locke City together.
From a vacation perspective, they could actually find a hotel to stay in in Champs-Élysées.
However, considering that there is a high probability of bloodshed in the next two nights, it would be better to take Yulia back to Locke City, so that she doesn't go out recklessly to do good deeds and ruin Amelie's plans.
Of course, she couldn't say that to Julia openly. Amelie's excuse was that she couldn't neglect her work even during vacation. Playing at the beach during the day was fine, but she still needed to go back to the office to review the documents at night.
Yulia had no doubts whatsoever and even remarked that Emery was really working very hard.
Meanwhile, Champs-Élysées is bustling with activity tonight.
The words Amelie had spoken to the laborers that afternoon had now completely set off an explosion.
A daily wage of 300 rons is not bad; it is more than half higher than the average wage for short-term workers, and the original workers were quite satisfied.
But when they learned that they could have earned 500 rens a day, greed ignited the fury deep within the laborers, making them want to take back everything they were entitled to.
Going through legal procedures for labor arbitration is impossible; it's too slow. The vast majority of workers in Champs-Élysées have long been accustomed to seeking justice for themselves through another means.
Workers' Association, assemble!
The workers' association was quite surprised by this incident, and it even caught them off guard.
But there was nothing that could be done. This matter involved too many members of the workers' association, nearly a thousand, and the public's agitation could not be temporarily suppressed with just a few words of appeasement.
The workers' association must immediately step forward to seek justice for its members... Without capital as a backer, they rely entirely on their numbers to maintain their strength, and who would join a gang that is unwilling to stand up for its own people?
So the workers' association immediately sprang into action. Senior management gathered to discuss action plans, while middle management went around contacting people to organize a large-scale nighttime event to teach those greedy black market intermediaries a lesson.
The labor agency staff were actually quite wronged, because the person in charge of the beach renovation project was a newcomer who had only been on the job for two and a half days and was the kind who had just started working with a client.
The so-called "getting a job by bringing in a sale" means that as long as you use me, I guarantee I can bring you a sale. It is the most effective job-seeking method for sales positions, and it is more effective than any degree or work experience.
The agency manager did indeed bring in a big deal as soon as he joined the company. The people at the agency were initially very happy, thinking they had struck gold, but they didn't expect to be scammed.
The agency manager has now disappeared, most likely absconding with the money. Even if the agency wanted to recover the money and return it to the workers to quell their anger, they wouldn't be able to.
Considering that the agent's major client was Amelie, the agency naturally assumed that the agent must have some connection with Blue Star Films. So they sent people to Blue Star Films overnight to seek help—they hoped to get more clues about the agent so they could recover the money.
However, the staff at Blue Star Films said that it was not working hours now and any questions could be addressed when the company was open the next day... No matter how much the people from the agency pleaded, it was no use.
However... the people at the agency were worrying for nothing, because they were never the prey in the first place; the real prey was the workers' association.
Just as the workers' association had finished assembling and was preparing to cause a scene at the employment agency, Batis, who had been waiting for her chance, made her move.
She piloted her flying skateboard alone, soaring into the room where the core members of the workers' association were having a meeting. She first stabbed an unfortunate man to death with a short stick, then completely ignored the questions and shouts of the association members, focusing solely on killing.
Although the Workers' Guild has no powerful backers, it still has a few mages who are the core management of the guild... but they are all in the awakening stage, and none of them are at the control level.
So, without Badis even having to exert much effort, almost the instant those mages took out their magical devices to retaliate, they fell down.
While Badis appeared to be charging alone, she actually had a lot of cover... The former Federation soldiers who had retired from Judy's unit were hidden around the building, each carrying a large magic gun that resembled an anti-material sniper rifle.
These magical guns can almost kill tough monsters with a single shot, and they are even easier to use against fragile mages who don't even have magical armor. The battle is a complete one-sided massacre.
The workers' association members who were still gathering outside the building had not yet figured out what was going on when they saw their gang leaders being thrown off the building one by one, their eyes wide open and dying with their eyes wide open.
It wasn't that no one tried to surrender or beg for mercy, but this time, Batis undoubtedly took Viliana's advice and insisted on carrying out the bloodshed to the end in order to deter other gangs.
Therefore, there is no surrender and no prisoners... at least none of the senior management of the workers' association can live!
The killing continued.
Not long after a group of people ran around in panic at the workers' association headquarters, crying and screaming, the others that Badis brought also began to target ordinary members of the workers' association.
However, this time the Baihe Gang's thugs did not kill them all.
They were all equipped with identical rapid-fire magic guns, and several of them were responsible for a specific area.
After encountering ordinary members of the Workers' Association, the thugs of the Baihe Gang would usually first use magic guns to randomly shoot two unlucky guys to create an intimidation effect, and then threaten the remaining Workers' Association members to throw away their weapons, squat down, and surrender with their hands on their heads.
If the ordinary members of the workers' association obeyed, the Baihe gang thugs would stop killing people and instead gather them together for safekeeping.
If the ordinary members of the workers' association don't obey, then kill them until the rest obey.
Although the Baihe Gang only had a little over 300 thugs, while the Workers' Association had gathered at least 2500 people, the Baihe Gang still held an overwhelming advantage.
Because the equipment gap between the two sides was too large, it was like fighting with an automatic rifle against a cold weapon. Even if the opponent was prepared, they would be caught off guard and it was hard to imagine how they could lose.
After nearly wiping out everyone inside the workers' union headquarters building, Badass didn't stop and went outside to continue killing.
Of course, she didn't just kill ordinary members of the workers' association; she continued to kill the association's managers.
Given the scale of the gathering, it was impossible for all the managers of the workers' association to hold meetings in the headquarters building. A large portion of them were outside managing their respective personnel, and these managers could not be overlooked either.
Badis's method of locking them down was also quite simple.
Most of the workers' association members outside have been suppressed and guarded by the Baihe Gang's thugs, so Badis has been going there wave after wave to find them.
Every time she found a group of workers, Badis would randomly select two unlucky people, first smashing the other person's head with a short stick in front of one of them, and then making the remaining person identify who their group's leader was.
The method is simple and crude, but very effective.
None of the workers' association's administrators survived the night.
Before other gangs could react, the White River Gang had completely taken over the Workers' Association's territory. The Workers' Association's management was wiped out, and the ordinary members scattered like birds and beasts.
Revenge and restoring the glory of the workers' association are impossible. Only the management would treat the gang as their main business, but they are all dead now.
Most ordinary members joined the gang only to have a backer. Now they are terrified. Forget about avenging the gang against the White River Gang, many of them didn't even wait for their wages and fled Champs-Élysées overnight.
When the sun rose again, the traces of the night's killing had been washed away. Apart from the fact that the workers' association headquarters building had a new owner and many shops had lost their employees, it seemed that nothing had happened last night, at least the tourists were almost unaffected.
No matter how they try to cover it up, the fact that more than 200 people died in one night is a major event in peacetime. The last time such a major incident occurred in Caledonia was when Emery massacred the Black Sand Gang and the Locke City Police Department.
Emery's operation that time involved wiping out the entire police station, leaving no survivors for the opposing forces. Coupled with the swift follow-up action and her special status, the federal government pretended not to know anything and didn't even open an investigation.
But this time it didn't work. Although the ordinary members of the workers' association didn't dare to resist, they couldn't be silenced. The matter quickly spread and aroused public interest.
Some people egged on the local police station in Champs-Élysées to arrest the man, and the chief got so angry that he arrested the person who had asked him to do so.
People aren't stupid. The police usually don't get involved in gang fights, let alone a gang with full military equipment. How much do police officers earn in a month? It's not worth risking their lives for something like this.
But if the police don't care, someone else will.
A case involving more than 100 deaths is considered a major case in the Allen Federation, and major cases can be investigated by the FBI.
It's true that Batista's ruthlessness deterred other gangs from making any rash moves, but those gangs also had powerful backers. They might not be able to procure a full set of military equipment for the gangs they supported like Amelie did, but they had connections. Finding a way to get the FBI to take over the case and cause Batista some trouble to test her limits was no problem.
On the afternoon of the third day after the incident, two Red Star investigators, a man and a woman, arrived in Champs-Élysées to investigate the truth behind the night the workers' association was destroyed.
Batiste didn't disguise herself at the time, and many ordinary members of the workers' association saw her. Naturally, she was soon approached by the investigators.
The two Red Star investigators weren't particularly forceful; they didn't say they would take Buddies back to the Investigation Bureau for interrogation, but only that Buddies should cooperate with the investigation.
When she heard that the FBI was going to get involved, Badis was a little panicked.
Although she had learned a lot from Emery, she was ultimately just someone who had grown up in a small-town gang. The FBI was a bit too powerful for her, and she worried that she wouldn't be able to handle it.
Asking Emerald directly for help would definitely solve the problem, but Badis is a strong-willed person. She didn't want Emerald to think she was useless, so she didn't go directly to Emerald. Instead, she asked Fatty Vi for advice on how to solve the problem.
As it turns out, the fact that Vermouth was valued by Emery proves he's quite capable, both in the original game and in real life. He remained completely calm and even devised two strategies for Batis based on the two possible attitudes of the investigators.
If the investigators who arrive are tough and incorruptible, like Miss Mengmeng, then Badis should remain silent throughout and leave everything to her legal team.
If the investigators who come are friendly, then things will be much easier.
Following the instructions of Fatty Wei, Badis first expressed her willingness to cooperate, and then said that since the two investigators had come from afar, they should relax first before discussing serious matters, and that she would absolutely not run away.
After a few words of polite refusal, the two Crimson Star Investigators accepted Badis's invitation.
At this time, Badis was not yet familiar with Champs-Élysées Town, so she invited the two Crimson Star Investigators to go directly to Locke City for fun, and the two Investigators did not refuse.
First, they strolled around the city's upscale shopping malls. Whenever the two investigators took a liking to a piece of clothing, a bag, a shoe, or a watch, Batis would pay for it, saying it was a small token of her appreciation.
After shopping at the mall, it's time to enjoy the full range of services at a high-end club.
After a lavish feast of delicacies, Badis arranged for more than a dozen handsome men and beautiful women to be chosen by the two Red Star Investigators.
Badis's original intention was to have beautiful women serve the male investigator and handsome men serve the female investigator.
Unexpectedly, neither of the two investigators were straight. The female investigator skillfully embracing two beautiful women on either side and taking them to a room to play, while the male investigator simultaneously took four muscular men to the gym to work out.
The two beautiful women who came to serve were alright. Influenced by a certain young lady, the number of women in Locke City has increased significantly, and they had already served many female customers.
The four burly men were experiencing something like this for the first time. They were used to serving wealthy women, and this was their first time serving male customers. At first, they were reluctant to do it, but they reluctantly agreed when Badis indicated that they could pay more.
After three days of shopping, eating, drinking, and having fun, the two Crimson Star Investigators returned to Champs-Élysées with Badis and began their investigation.
Half a day later, the investigation results came out.
The actions of Badis and her companions that night were classified as acts of heroism, and they were exempt from any legal responsibility.
According to the report of the two Red Star Investigators, the workers' association was a group of lawless violent individuals who gathered that night with the intention of carrying out violent acts against the labor agencies in Champs-Élysées.
Thanks to the heroic actions of Badis and her companions, the evil labor union failed, the members of the labor agency were all safe and sound, and Champs-Élysées remained beautiful and peaceful.
"Can it still be like this?"
This experience broadened Badis's horizons and made her bolder; she felt she could go even further with her methods.
On the other hand, the investigation reports of the two Red Star Investigators seemed somewhat ridiculous, but in reality, they were sending a message to the backers of those gangs.
The Baihe Gang also has powerful figures backing them, so the investigation ends here. Otherwise, if something were found out, it would be difficult for everyone to handle.
The other major gangs in Champs-Élysées reacted differently to this.
Just as Amelie had said, the most powerful dessert gang completely ignored the matter, pretending that the White River Gang didn't exist, and also ignoring other gangs that wanted to discuss the matter with them.
The local Champs-Élysées gang followed suit, but they were somewhat frightened by Badis's bloody methods and wanted to maintain their integrity, so they bury their heads in the sand... The gang strictly forbade any discussion of anything related to the White River Gang.
Three gangs reacted the most normally. They acknowledged the strength of the Baihe Gang, recognized their notification of the Workers' Association's territory, and even sent messengers to tell Badis how the Workers' Association had worked with everyone to maintain order at night in the past, hoping that the Baihe Gang would do the same.
Badis was relatively friendly to the envoys from the three gangs, making it clear that she only wanted a piece of land to do business and did not intend to continue expanding, which put the three gangs at ease... Whether the three gangs believed her or not was their own business.
However, one gang openly displayed hostility.
Whether it was at the behest of their backer or the 74th Army's behest, they didn't send anyone to contact Badis, and instead spread some unpleasant rumors among the common people.
"Get out of Champs-Élysées, you miners from Locke City!"
"The smell of those stinking stones will pollute this beautiful beach!"
Not only did she say that, but Badis also received information from her underlings that the 74 Gang had been gathering manpower and purchasing a lot of weapons in the past two days, and even planned to hire a few mercenaries. Their intention to target the White River Gang was obvious.
If Batis were still the same Batis who could only barely survive under the oppression of the Black Sand Gang with the White River Gang, she would most likely choose to strengthen her defenses and wait and see.
But with a weapon in hand, murderous intent arises. The current Batis is no longer the same Batis, and she wants to solve problems in a more proactive way.
This also provides an opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Baihe Gang once again, deterring other gangs and showing them that the Baihe Gang keeps its promises and abides by the rules.
Badis chose to take the initiative and launch a swift and decisive surprise attack.
She first found out the location of the 74 Gang leader, and then personally took action, using the strength of a master mage to launch a surprise attack on the 74 Gang leader's side, killing all of the 74 Gang leader's bodyguards, but sparing the 74 Gang leader's life.
Then, Badis took the leader of the 74 Gang to the rooftop of the tallest building in the 74 Gang's territory, tied him up, and hung him up so that everyone nearby could see him.
Many gang members still have a sense of loyalty and courage. When they saw their leader being humiliated, the loyal henchmen of the 74 Gang immediately rushed to his rescue like madmen.
Thus they stepped into the death trap set by Badis.
On other high points around the building where the 74 Gang leader was hanged, snipers who had just retired from the military were already lying in ambush, waiting for their prey to walk into their trap.
Chapter 123 The Investigator's Forced Leave
It's a classic tactic of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements, and it works very well.
Many members of the 74 Gang had spent their entire lives in gangs and had never encountered anything like this—this enemy wasn't a gang at all; they were clearly an army, both in tactics and equipment. The only difference was that they had fewer mages than a real army, but in a gang... at least in a small to medium-sized city, it was an absolute dimensional reduction attack.
The July 4th Gang suffered heavy losses.
Although their leader is still alive, the gang's elite and core members have all been wiped out, leaving only the old, weak, sick, and those with very low loyalty, making it a dead organization in name only.
Apart from the Dessert Gang, which continues to ignore the Baihe Gang, and the Champs-Élysées Gang, which is playing the ostrich, the other three gangs were shocked upon receiving the news and quickly contacted each other to discuss how to deal with the powerful enemy, the Baihe Gang.
Unexpectedly, the Baihe Gang also sent an envoy to attend this gathering uninvited.
