Chapter 872 Bond With This World! (1)
Just as Gu Zheng's eyes were flickering, the bodyguard who had been following him outside came in.
"Mayor, there's people outside. The one leading said that he's the Chief of the Branch Office here."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng glanced at the ashen-faced sheriffs and nodded at the bodyguards.
"Let them in."
Following Gu Zheng's nod, an agile fatty rushed in from outside the courtyard.
Then, like a rubber ball that had been kicked, he knelt in front of Gu Zheng with a plop. His chubby face was covered in tears and snot.
"Boohoo!"
"Mayor Gu! Mayor Gu! I was forced to do this!"
"They, they said that if I don't do it, they'll remove me from my position as Branch Chief. I can't disobey them!"
Looking at the crying fatty in front of him, Gu Zheng's expression did not change at all.
These people were all thousand-year-old foxes, so there was no need to talk about believing them.
"Are you afraid of them but not me?"contemporary romance
"Uh…"
The fat Chief, who was still sobbing just now, was instantly speechless.
Obviously, in the eyes of the people on the other side, although Gu Zheng supported the beasts, the support might not be very strong.
In the end, who knew that Mayor Gu would still be there at night?
This fatty did not think that Mayor Gu was staying at the academy for the sake of the academy's students. It was obvious that it was because of that dojo.
Wouldn't he be courting death if he continued now?!
However, now that he had come to his senses, the Fat Chief felt that he had come to his senses too late.
Looking at the frightened expressions of the people in the courtyard, the fat Chief knew that it was already his greatest blessing if he was able to survive tonight.
"Tell me, who asked you to do this?"
Listening to Gu Zheng's emotionless tone, the sweat on Fatty's forehead almost flowed into his eyes.
"It's… it's… Vice President Chen from the Mutant Federation."
"Who else?"
"There are also a few companies that run mercenary businesses in Central Province."
"That's all?"
Fatty shook his head vigorously.
"No, but that's all I know!"
The Mutant Federation…
Gu Zheng muttered these names in his heart, but his expression was unreadable.
"Let them all go."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
The Fat Chief immediately led a few of his sheriffs to release those people.
Looking at their indignant gazes, the Fat Chief felt despair in his heart.
"Mayor Gu, why do you have time to come to such a place?"
Just as Fatty and the others had untied those people, another group of people arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a mustache.
From the aura on his body, he was at least a Level 7.
In Central Province, although experts were as common as clouds, mutants of this level were already considered overlords.
Not to mention that there were a few Level 5 people behind him.
This force made the bodyguards beside Gu Zheng feel as if they were facing a great enemy.
Although they also saw the badge of the "Mutant Federation" hanging on the person's chest, no one knew if the other party would suddenly attack…
Even though the probability of this happening was very low, they still had to take precautions.
"Vice President Chen, long time no see."
Gu Zheng saw Chen Dongting walking over and greeted him with a smile.
However, the fake smile on his face clearly expressed Gu Zheng's attitude.
.cοm The Fat Chief heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the other party.
If this high-ranking vice president could protect him, he might be able to escape unscathed today.
Unfortunately, the vice president did not even look at him after entering.
"Mayor Gu, are these so-called 'tamed beasts' really safe?"
"You have to know that our greatest enemy is the mutated beasts outside. Now that you're advocating using 'beasts' to deal with 'beasts', aren't you afraid of disappointing the citizens and soldiers of the Central Province City?"
"Over the years, many people have died under the mouths of mutated beasts."
Hearing Chen Dongting's words, Gu Zheng glanced at him and smiled.
"Vice-President Chen, don't bother trying."
"Tamed beasts are tamed beasts, and mutated beasts are mutated beasts. It's meaningless to talk about them together."
"Moreover, on the question of if these beasts would hurt people? Isn't one, two, or three cities convincing enough?"
"Or is Vice-President Chen unwilling to see such a situation?"
After Gu Zheng completely dispelled this matter, Chen Dongting's lips twitched, but he really did not know how to refute.
It wasn't like they hadn't gone to Jiangzhou City to inspect before.
However, the more he looked, the more shocked he became…
This kind of scene where humans and tamed beasts lived harmoniously made him both surprised and frightened.
After all, many factions needed to rely on the threat of mutated beasts to maintain a transcendent status in Central Province or obtain various benefits.
For example, the army, the Mutant Federation, and the mercenaries.
These people needed the existence of mutated beasts. With mutated beasts threatening the residents of the city, they could show their usefulness and not be replaced.
In addition to managing mutants, the Mutant Federation also dealt with mutated beasts.
However, if all the mutated beasts were gone, they would lose more than half of their authority.
After all, managing mutants was just something on paper, something like a formality. They couldn't actually order the mutants, but when mutants caused trouble in the city, they had to deal with it.
