Birth Of The Crafts-God

Chapter 208 - 208: Father-Daughter Argument

Baylands City welcomed a new day with the sun rising high into the sky. The chill of the winter breeze swept through the city, but due to the unique climate of the region, there was no snow to accompany the breeze. However, the temperature was still low enough to be harsh.

This was the unique situation in Baylands City.

Whereas all the other fifteen districts would be welcoming the winter season with pristine white snow, Baylands City would be bitterly cold, yet no sign of any snow. Re

However, the original Red Fangs weren't incorporated into the Baylands City Defence Force, which at the time was supposed to be the most logical decision. Instead, they were brought to the city and attached to the Baylands City Patrol Corps. Even then, they were turned into an entirely separate department and given a significant degree of independence. So much so that even the highest uniformed individual in the Baylands City Patrol Corps, the Chief of Police, could not order them. They only answered to the commissioner of police, who stood above the Chief. But even the commissioner rarely interfered in their business, making the Red Fangs a special organisation that answered only to their director.

With this arrangement being backed by the then city lord, there was nothing anyone could say about it.

Naturally, this generated discontent amongst the other departments of Baylands City Patrol Corps. They all wondered why the Red Fangs, a group of vigilantes, had to be treated so special. And so, they began sidelining the Red Fangs in many activities and operations.

One hundred years down the line and the treatment was still the same, especially since a new city lord was in power. Even though most of the department directors from back then were either dead or retired, their successors bore the hate and had even tried to push for the dissolution of the Red Fangs. One of those at the forefront of the movement is the director of the BCPC department branch in the Central Prefecture district. This was why director Mayer wanted to avoid an issue with the former.

"So we should just stay out of it? We both know that this action of theirs would lead to more cons than pros for the city, so why tolerate it?" Lily still didn't understand.

"Because it is outside our jurisdiction." Director Mayer said once again, but this time around, with a serious face.

"This discussion is over. If you have nothing else, leave. If you overstay your welcome, I'll see to it that you get a two weeks suspension and have your salary cut down by thirty percent."

Lily froze right away. She tightened her fists and gritted her teeth, but in the end, walked out of the office. Being the director's daughter, she already knew about her father's personality well. Once he got serious, it didn't matter whether the person before him was a top four family head or even the city lord. He would follow through with his statement.

After she departed, the director sighed before taking a look at a document he was reading prior to his daughter's invasion. Surprisingly, it was actually a report on the case with Lucas.

'This entire case is strange. Even if they are so greedy, this is going out of control. A top four family was even caught up in this? Why hasn't the city lord done anything yet?'

Director Mayer frowned.

For some reason, he felt that the conspiracy was bigger than what anyone thought.

A struggle between the top factions for the mysterious transformative technology? That was what everyone in the know believed, however, director Mayer felt the truth was far more complicated.

Suddenly, he widened his eyes abruptly.

'Don't tell me...!'
