Chapter 297 Serious
Annan's vacation was coming to an end and before he returned to the capital, Roderick suddenly came to see him.
Roderick has been very busy lately. He is busy taking down the Coulier Gang.
The loss of Eero, the leader of the Coulier Gang, does not mean that it will automatically disintegrate, but it will simply become a ball of loose sand again, and then someone will fight for power and profit.
Rodrick, who has made up his mind to become the underground king of this city, naturally cannot miss such an opportunity. He cannot let a big gang resurrect.
Without the central gang leader, it would be very easy for the Coulier Gang to deal with it, but even if it was simple, it would still take a lot of time and effort.
After Annan solved Eero's problem, he naturally stopped caring about Roderick's affairs. Although he occasionally asked about the situation, that was all.
"Annan, just now, the next police chief, a man named Linton Leach, came to see me."
Roderick was quite aware of Annan's attitude towards his own career. If it wasn't for something important, he would not be ignorant to discuss it with Annan.
"We talked a lot, and I finally understood why Linton Leach went to see Eero alone before... In a word, it was the incoming police chief who wanted to restore the order that the city should have. .”
Annan didn't feel surprised, but felt a bit boring in his heart.
However, now that they were all here, he continued to listen.
"The reason why Linton Leach did not go to other gang bosses was simply that he thought the time was not right for me, for example. He had previously felt that I had not yet re-ruled the Nares Gang, so in order to avoid distracting me, That’s why he chose to disappear for a while, but after seeing what happened before, of course he couldn’t sit still.”
The new police chief originally wanted to come to Roderick earlier, but Roderick was doing something big before, so it was not a suitable time.
Until now, the leaderless Coulier gang has been beaten down enough, so the next police chief will show up.
"That man said that as long as I can restore order in the underground world here, he will not take action against us, because he also knows that things have developed to this point and it is impossible to stop it."
If you want the city's underground order to be restored, instead of attacking Roderick's forces now, it is better to acquiesce to the other party and become a dominant underground king.
Kedax City has been chaotic enough in the past six months. Without Roderick, the city will continue to be chaotic.
"Probably, that's what the other party thinks. A single big gang can be manipulated and dealt with better. Anyway, as long as the whole gang stabilizes, even if there is no longer me as the so-called boss, it will be the same with other people."
Roderick doesn't mind what the next police chief thinks. He always represents the righteous official, and he is the evil gangster.
For him, the official's indulgent attitude of not caring about anything is what suits him best.
"Annan, what I want to say is that I will undoubtedly become the focus of the authorities in the future and will definitely be monitored on a daily basis. If you continue to have too much contact with me, you will also be targeted."
"It's too late to say this now. Even if we cut off the superficial relationship now, it will be the same."
Annan also wanted to say something serious about this collaborator, but in the end it turned out to be such a situation that was not worth talking about.
"And what's there to be afraid of? I'm just your personal consultant, nothing more."
"Okay, I understand what you mean..."
Roderick knew this was the case, but no matter what, he still had to make it clear to his companion.
"Please rest assured, I will try my best not to implicate you in my affairs."
"What are you talking about? Anyway, you will be the only one in this city from now on. Unless you want to deal with me, I have nothing to worry about."
Annan is very aware of the attractions of the gangs in this place, such as kidnapping the enemy's family members and doing some other things.
Roderick had been tricked by Ero before. Annan naturally knew that if someone around him was caught, it would be a big headache.
"I think we will all be peer collaborators going forward."
When Roderick said this, his expression was very serious.
Regardless of whether it was public or private, he had no reason to stand against Annan.
This young man helped him a lot, not to mention that the other party also had considerable black magic power.
Roderick, a vampire who was unwilling to take control of his own power, would not offend such a black magician unless he was really crazy.
"Isn't it over then?"
After a serious discussion, Annan left shortly after.
When Annan stepped out of the building of the company run by Rodrick, he immediately noticed a surveillance gaze.
He didn't look back, didn't check where his eyes were.
There was no malice in this look, more of a look.
"Did the police surveillance come so soon? It's rare to be so serious."
Even if the police find out that he has a relationship with the gang, Annan doesn't think it's a big deal.
Although Annan is indeed a magic apprentice and one of the researchers of life magic who is somewhat famous in the magic world, he is still a human being.
As a local and someone with some status, it is completely normal to be related to gangsters.
"Even the police chief would secretly negotiate with the gang boss, let alone an ordinary magician?"
This place is already magical enough. If Annan remembers correctly, in the south, there seems to be a gang boss who became a regional councillor, almost became the mayor, and was even about to elect the president.
Behind that congressman seems to be the former drug lord of the South.
As for now, the two major drug lords in the north and south have been eradicated. Annan doesn't know what will happen to the gangs or congressmen they originally supported.
It probably won't end well.
Or maybe it has developed into something more magical, but unfortunately there is no way to know.
"My affairs may cause trouble to the professor, but there should be no problem."
Annan had considered what would happen to Duran, the magic professor, if his relationship with the gang boss was discovered.
Then he realized that it probably wouldn't be the case.
Duran is now being taken very seriously. He has always been the creator of life-based magic on the surface, and the so-called stains are nothing at all.
It's hard to say in other places, but in Matatek, Professor Dulan is a first-class talent, and no one will give up on him so easily.
"To put it simply, I don't need to think about anything and just continue my normal life."
Under the surveillance gaze from behind, Annan drove away in a very natural manner.
