Enforcer Manual

Chapter 255: Exile_1

Chapter 255: Chapter 255: Exile_1"Welcome to Channel 54 News, I’m your host John William. This afternoon, a cyber madman attacked a prison far out in District Seventeen, resulting in a total of 17 inmates dead. Law Enforcers have identified the cyber madman as Sammuen, from the East District..."

"Damn it!"

In a cold coffee shop, Lador cursed beneath his sunglasses.

It turned out working with big corporations never ended well. If he had been a step slower, Law Enforcers would probably be collecting his minced remains from his apartment by now.

By this time, he should have already reached the interior of Twelfth Nation and been living a worry-free life with the savings he had accumulated over the years. To his knowledge, the corporation’s influence couldn’t reach Twelfth Nation, which had recently announced its withdrawal from the alliance. But on the very day he realized something was awry, Lador found his accounts had been frozen.

The bank’s reason was suspicion of money laundering and they needed to conduct a 30-working-day investigation.

Thirty days were more than enough for him to die several times over.

The coffee shop was located near a border checkpoint, and from his seat, he could just see the vehicles entering and leaving the checkpoint.

In recent days, the checkpoint had increased its security several levels, causing many independent smugglers to fall into dire straits, with a batch of them being caught every day.

Lador knew that this wasn’t targeting smugglers, but because there were corporate people in the checkpoint. They were

Seeing that Lu Xiang was unmoved, Lador could only let out a long sigh. He had long been prepared, after all, if the current chief of the Law Enforcers was someone smart enough to know when to advance or retreat, there wouldn’t have been such a commotion recently.

"Indeed, that gang fight was a murder, but the main reason was that the couple was too stupid, so stupid that even I could hardly bear to watch."

Lador downed a bottle of cold coffee, which helped him regain his spirits.

"They actually dared to threaten the company."

"Why did they threaten the company?"

"It was all because of their daughter, that girl called Anfiya. You should already know, she was an extraordinary talent, showing great tolerance for cybernetics from a young age. The company wanted to enroll her into some secret project, but they found out and threatened to expose the company’s practices over the years if they did."

"They thought they were being smart by storing the incriminating evidence with a trustworthy journalist, claiming that if anything happened to them, the company’s dirt would be published."

"So what happened? They hadn’t even met with an accident yet when that journalist turned around and betrayed them. Not only did they die in a car accident, their daughter couldn’t escape either."

In the company’s view, the couple and their child were all to be regarded as the company’s property.

But this was just the tragic fate of one foolish couple in District Seventeen; it was nothing compared to the real incriminating evidence.

"Do you have any way to prove this?"

"Evidence? Do you think I’m keen on living long enough to keep hold of the company’s incriminating evidence?"

Lador laughed self-deprecatingly, "On the surface, I may seem like a middleman, but in reality, I’m just passing messages for them in Gold Diggers’ Bar. I convey things the company doesn’t want to handle directly, how could someone with a minor role like me possibly..."

"Boom—"

An explosion nearby drowned out Lador’s voice,

while the accompanying screams and the heat wave with its shockwave threw both individuals out.

There was a cyber lunatic.

Lu Xiang, who had been flung to the ground, propped herself up amidst the chaos and heard someone exclaim.
