Isaac

We need to find a suspect before we can investigate. Finding a person in Newport City is easy and difficult. Even if we find it, we can only do interrogation or anything.

In Newport City, a segregated structure inside and outside, there are only two cases of outsiders wandering outside the theta district. A curious person, or someone with a purpose.

In the former case, it is either politely returned, but in the latter case, it is politely skinned and eaten or buried depending on the purpose. So there's absolutely no chance of finding evidence from Fort City's own investigation.

- Fort Shi is not the problem. As long as the money is stolen, the security office will move.

“I thought you were supposed to stop that? ”

- How do I stop a criminal investigation?

“You can't do that. I trusted you. ”

Isaac exclaims with an embarrassed expression. This is a civilian investigation, and the power of Newport City will stop it at all costs. Money, violence.

However, the involvement of government forces makes it difficult. There is no reason to stop the investigation, and the act itself is evidence. More importantly, once the investigation begins, Isaac's property rights will not be enforced until the results are available.

As far as the situation is concerned, Isaac has the authority to cease enforcing property rights to Port City, and there is still a degree of lobbying power available to stall port attempts.

- Why the hell did you turn the safe?

“That's unfair.”

- Hnng...

With one hand on his forehead, Magellan grunts in response to Isaac's really unfair reaction.

“I give you the right to distribute. ”

- Yeah?

Isaac gives you a glimpse of Magellan's bent head.

“With a right to distribution, even if the NSA opposes it, it'll be quiet, right? ”

- Yes, but…….

“Dan! I see a lot of eyes right now, so let's just skip ahead for the day I'm done.“ ”

As long as he can end Erl Mills, he has little value to Isaac. As soon as Earl Mills is gone, Isaac can have a quiet day.

Magellan hesitates with Isaac's suggestion, a slight stiff look on his face.

- Leave the civilians out of this.

One of Isaac's eyebrows twitches in Magellan's words.

“If anyone hears me, I'll misunderstand. I'm just exercising my legitimate property rights. ”

- I don't care if you fight Earl Mills. However, if innocent civilians are harmed in the process, they are forced to intervene. That way, no matter how much you put in distribution, it won't work.

With a serious voice from Magellan, Isaac smiles and looks at him.

“You know you're asking me to dump my car in one shot, right? ”

If you want to mess with Earl Mills, you must deal with the citizens of Fort City. In other words, if you can't deal with the ordinary citizens of Fort City, even Earl Mills cannot touch you.

- At the top, they want to finish as quietly as possible.

“Then I should pretend there was no issue with distribution. ”

- Pressure won't do anything-- it's a shame, but it doesn't matter whose hand it is.

“Whoever has it has to pay the tax well. ”

- Well, sort of.

Isaac stares at Magellan shrugging his shoulders and kicks his tongue. I don't mind if you've already decided to hand over the right to distribute, but the matter with Earl Mills was unfortunate.

I am the one who disadvantages over time, so I wanted to get rid of everything when I was confused in the shortest time possible, but I was constrained.

“Very well. I'll give up. ”

- Yeah, that's great.

“However, there are conditions. ”

- Condition?

“Yes. I would like to make it clear through notarization that I have decided to donate my right to distribution to the Imperial Government. ”

With Isaac's suggestion, Magellan tilts her head.

- Is that all you got?

“Yes.”

- …… isn't that a bad condition for you?

“I'd like to adjust the date so that I can clarify when I was delegated to act on behalf of the Lord. ”

Then Magellan realizes what Isaac's intentions are. If it were to be released, people would have no doubt that it was done by the central government in order to gain control of Portland's distribution.

It may not be a secret tied to the city of Port, but rumor has it that the credit of the Imperial Government will be compromised.

- Do we really have to do this?

“I don't want to be thrown away by just being used. ”

In Isaac's words, Magellan frowns and shouts in an unpleasant manner.

- What are you talking about? You don't believe me?

“Isn't that a good thing? I'm willing to cooperate by throwing away a hand that could improve my resolve, and if you can't do this for me, I have no doubt that the intentions of the Imperial Government Isn't it a significant remaining business if you throw away a piece of paper in exchange for a few years of problem-solving central government ports as well as a good bookmaker to finance distribution and non-funding? ”

Magellan grunts and looks at Isaac's words.

- What if I say no?

Isaac shrugs.

“Let's just go to Port City and pretend it didn't happen, and I'll give it all back and give it up. I couldn't help but understand. ”

- …….

Magellan, who was staring silently, cried out in annoyance.

I'm begging you, don't just turn your back on the politics!

“Hmph. Have you forgotten? Who would want to live quietly here? ”

“Are you here?”

“Hmm? You haven't left yet? ”

Solando nods in horror, waiting for Isaac to come back from the comms.

“You told me to wait.... ”

Isaac, who took a cigarette past Solande and set the fire to Rizley, said.

“Oh, did you? Excellent. Hold off on collecting the bonds. ”

“Yes?”

“Why? Have you already done it? ”

“Harold's property has already been transferred. ”

“Yeah? Well, he's a direct party, so it doesn't matter. It's almost dinnertime. ”

“Shall I prepare a meal? ”

“Send an invitation later. ”

“An invitation? To whom...? ”

“Market in Port City. ”

“Yes?”

When he looked at the famous mayor of Port City with a look he couldn't understand, Isaac always sat down and threw himself into a chair.

“Tell them to have dinner and have a deep conversation about where they can develop their friendship between neighboring cities and work together. ”

“ ……. ”

“What's that look? ”

I didn't like Rizzley's eyes, so Rizzley said as if to ask.

“You don't know? ”

“Shut up.”

Citizens of Port City do not care who the mayor of the city is or even know its name. All the major causes of poetry are decided by the Ministry of Justice.

The perfect scarecrow.

As a mayor in the wealthy city of Port, I stopped my aspirations for advancement from the merit stage and invited the recently retired bureaucrats in case I wanted to change my mind.

Nominally, when I dropped out of high salary and market positions, I received a substantial allowance, and the market place in Port City was secretly popular as a place where I could raise retirement funds for comfortable old age.

Marco has been busy at Port City, where he enjoyed fishing in such a city and only waited for the day to retire while stamping the payment paperwork.

When Fort Shi Sinbang lost power in an instant, the citizens came to Marco, the mayor, and asked him to prepare a countermeasure. Marco, who knew it was a scarecrow but was still suffering from the people who called him the mayor, ran coldly to Isaac's invitation.

“Hello, I'm Marco, Mayor of Port City. ”

After graduating from such a public school, Marco came up to this spot with his father alone, and fell facedown on the rooftop of the City Hall of Newport.

“Nice to meet you. Let's start with dinner. ”

As soon as I saw him, I looked at Marco for a moment, raised him to his feet, and sat at the table.

Isaac eats with a grave attitude, but Marco is so nervous that he doesn't know if Bob's going into his mouth or into his nose.

Citizens from Port City were increasingly gathering in the squares that were beginning to see rumors of the dominance of Isaac and the mayor of Port City.

When he was busy rolling his head over what he was calling himself for after a meal that was certain to be indigestion, Isaac snuffed out the cigarette he was smoking and lit a new cigarette.

“How was your meal? ”

“Yes? Yes! I was very satisfied.”

“That's a relief. ”

Taking a sip of the fruit wine Rizzly followed, Marco looks at Isaac with restlessness like a poopy dog.

“It's not like I invited the mayor here because I haven't received all the money I've gambled away yet. ”

Marco, who looks like he's finally here, gets up from his chair and falls to the ground.

“Once all is recovered, the citizens of Port City will be bankrupt. Please do something!”

If Isaac asked for the city's cooperation to transfer legitimate property rights, Marco had to listen to his demands, unless there was any legal problem.

Then, not only will the alimony cross the water, but angry citizens may cause the first riots in Port City.

“Ah, I think you've misunderstood something. ”

“Yes?”

Isaac gives you a glimpse of Marco's head.

“Actually, I've been thinking about it a lot. The consequences for innocent civilians are not what I wanted. ”

“Well, then! ”

Marco's eyes sparkle with hope, just in case.

“I will preserve the wealth of my citizens. Of course, the same is true of the property of the three people with the greatest stake. Ah! Harold's fortune has already been returned. Hmm... What should I do? You said he killed himself. ”

“Yes…. ”

“Tsu, what a pity. ”

Marco gives a creepy look at Isaac kicking his tongue.

“Harold's fortune is to give back to the families, and all I want is one, a right to distribution. It's full of circulation. ”

“To?”

Marco's eyes widen with Isaac's demands. Distribution rights are the source of wealth in Port City. It's only a matter of time before Port City falls into a city like that once the distribution clears.

“Yes, the distribution rights are not owned by Port City! ”

“So you need to talk to the people who have the right to distribute. If I take the power of distribution, nothing will change. I'm not even capable of doing anything with it, am I? ”

“Ha, but……. ”

“You know that Earl Mills took over after Zero took over, right? ”

“…… Yes. ”

“Then you know how big a concession I've made. ”

“ ……. ”

Marco opens his eyes as if he had only just realized it. He looks at Isaac with an admirable gaze.
