Chapter 280: The Real Chaos
Chapter 280: The Real Chaos
"The Law Enforcement Department," Lyon said, setting down the water bottle filled with silver liquid, weighing over thirty kilograms, and producing his ID to the approaching guards.
As the guards, clad in heavy tactical vests adorned with ratchets and rivets and wielding high-caliber nail guns, began scrutinizing his ID, Lyon maintained a stern expression and spoke, "We just received a report that due to recent internal divisions within the Chaos Party, the radicals may take extreme measures and directly assault the boarding tower, potentially triggering a conflict between the Kingdom and the Corlock Kingdom."
"Although there are no abnormalities at the moment, it's highly likely that some members of the Chaos Party have infiltrated. To prevent a diplomatic incident, we need to board the tower immediately and inspect suspicious individuals who might be radical members of the party!"
Could there be a potential assault on the boarding tower?! The guard's expression tightened upon hearing Lyon's words, and his finger subconsciously rested on the safety of the nail gun. A faint hissing sound emanated from the tube beside the helmet's breathing port as the steam rapidly coursed through the pipes after being manually released.
"I haven't received any instructions yet," the guard responded, his tension evident. He retreated and summoned the leader of the guard squad, who also examined the ID. Through the breathing port of his helmet, the squad leader replied in a muffled voice, "We belong to the Military Department and are not under the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Department. Unless we receive orders from the Corlock Kingdom's ambassador or an assistance order from the Law Enforcement Department..."
"Just look at the ID properly!" Lyon interrupted the squad leader, his impatience evident.
"Look at my surname, and then decide whether to wait for the order or not after you've finished reading it!"
Surname? The squad leader paused briefly, then flipped back to the first page of the ID as Lyon requested and examined the name below the anti-counterfeiting seal.
Barons Lane... Lane? Lionheart Lane?
The squad leader glanced at Lyon's golden hair peeking out from beneath his police hat and at the several similarly golden-haired "police" officers behind him. He couldn't help but hesitate.
Although the Lionheart Family had lost many important members during the Blood Night, and their influence had diminished, they were still a powerful noble family with over two centuries of control over the Military Department. The Lane family's influence within the department remained substantial, far beyond what a mere squad leader could afford to offend.
So... should he really let these people in without an order?
"Have you made up your mind?" Lyon, or rather Barons Lane with his intentionally dyed yellow hair, urged impatiently.
"This is an emergency, and the order is already on its way. You can let us in first, and if that's not acceptable, we can even surrender our sidearms and enter without any other items."
"But the Military Department said that after we were reassigned, we should prioritize listening to the Corlock Kingdom's side..."
"Think carefully before you speak!" Lyon seemed slightly irritated, his eyebrows furrowed as he issued a warning.
"Don't think that just because you're temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Corlock Kingdom, you're no longer part of the Kingdom. I've been patient enough to waste this much time with you, and I'm even willing to give up my weapons. You'd better not push your luck!"
"Well... alright."
Seeing the well-connected young man in front of her bristling with anger, his face filled with annoyance, the squad leader hesitated repeatedly before finally deciding to let them pass.
However, before allowing them to enter, she meticulously checked each person's ID and even opened the water bottle they were carrying to ensure it didn't contain any liquid explosives. Reluctantly, she allowed them to proceed.
Wow, they're already inside?
The gang of bandits received the documents from the guards and handed over the sidearms they had just collected that morning. Following "Little Barrows" into the boarding tower, they couldn't believe how smoothly everything was going.
Unlike the previous leader, who would have arranged a series of raids to divert support and then launch a full-scale assault, the new leader, Little Barrows, had somehow obtained a complete set of authentic-looking documents and uniforms, allowing them to pass through seamlessly.
Apart from the guards they had just encountered, who had been reassigned to the Corlock Kingdom, there were seven or eight different checkpoints along the way, and they were waved through each one without even having to show their sidearms. This was too easy, wasn't it?
"Little... cough... Barrows."
The young man who had once trapped Leon and the female police officer in the Secret Investigation Bureau's dungeon using his spatial abilities couldn't help but approach Leon, his curiosity getting the better of him.
"How did you get these fake IDs and uniforms? How come no one noticed? They look so real!"
"..."
What if, aside from the fake issuance dates, these documents and uniforms were genuine, with corresponding serial numbers in the Law Enforcement Department, including the sidearm you just handed over? If it weren't for the concern of alerting the Corlock Kingdom and potentially strengthening the tower's defenses, even the joint investigation order from the Military and the Corlock Kingdom could have been personally issued by the Corlock Ambassador.
"I got them from a friend in the Law Enforcement Department. They had some extra stock, so while the content is fake, the materials are quite authentic."
After giving a half-truthful response, Leon, who had been directly involved in the "private matters handled officially" by the Purification Bureau, discreetly adjusted his badge. He then switched to the 【Rebel】, a more covert and efficient approach when dealing with illegal activities, and addressed the group:
"Attention everyone. Before we proceed, let's review the plan one last time."
"First, Luke will go to the toilet near the control room and wait for the operator to be knocked out by a slingshot. Then, he'll gain control of the operator's body and open the way to the Secret Harbor for us.
Once we're on the airships in the harbor, Paul will use his spatial ability to teleport us all onto the private ships where the Sniffers are. Then, Phoebe and Phoebe will modify their memories... Is that clear?"
"Crystal clear!"
"No problem!"
"There won't be any issues!"
"Good."
Leon patted the water bottle in his hand, receiving a "no problem" confirmation from Senior Piorn. He then led the group of bandits up the ladder, secured by twenty steel cables, towards the control room located in the '7' shaped boarding tower.
Meanwhile, a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes and a face marked by the weariness of recent travels approached a guard captain and presented his credentials.
"I'm a Sniffer from the Corlock Kingdom."
After glancing up at the airships docked in the harbor, the man's eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions. He then gave a curt instruction:
"Find someone to take me to the Secret Harbor. I need to get back to my private ship."
