Chapter Summary
Regardless of how things ultimately turned out, the sheer number of brothers he's lost is not something that can be replaced quickly. At the start of the battle, Liu Ning didn't think these people would suffer much damage, because he focused all his attention on Taro's tentacles around him, believing that those things wouldn't cause much casualties to the soldiers. Only in this way can we save more people." Liu Ning thought for a moment and said that we should give everyone the right to know.
For Liu Ning, the current situation is the most heartbreaking. Regardless of how things ultimately turned out, the sheer number of brothers he's lost is not something that can be replaced quickly. Replacing them will require an immense amount of effort. Liu Ning is finally feeling the pain; the guard unit was his last line of defense. But now, that defense has been decimated. Everyone has witnessed the immense effort Liu Ning put into rebuilding it. Relying on the garrison headquarters for help is essentially useless. Therefore, if Liu Ning wants to restore the guard unit's glory, he must rely entirely on himself; depending on others is utterly futile.
Just half an hour ago, they were all living together here, but now, they were all cold corpses. Looking at the vast expanse of white sheets, Liu Ning was indeed somewhat surprised. He felt sorry for them. If he had a choice, he should have let them retreat earlier. In this state, there was no point in them staying, so he shouldn't have let them stay. Liu Ning felt extremely sad at this moment. If he had a new choice, he certainly wouldn't have let them stay in this state. So now, tears were streaming down Liu Ning's face. Miss Julie next to him didn't know how to comfort him, after all, Liu Ning had paid a heavy price for their investigation bureau.
The city lord overheard everything, but he couldn't speak. "Should I offer some help?" he thought. That was impossible. Although everyone had been relatively united earlier, the internal power struggles remained. Liu Ning was becoming increasingly powerful, posing a significant threat to the city lord. The city lord wasn't yet at retirement age. If he were retiring next year, he would certainly be delighted by the emergence of such a promising junior. The problem was, while his current strength was considerable, the appearance of two difficult young men was almost a disaster for him. If another two years passed, he would likely have to retire, even if he didn't want to. He needed to provide some livelihood for his subordinates, and these two, for example, needed to be dealt with seriously.
Regarding the compensation, they are all soldiers in this city, and the garrison has its own compensation standards, which cannot be violated. Regardless of what you're thinking, this is the only amount we can provide. If we give a higher amount, it would be unfair to the soldiers who lost their lives, especially while defending the city. If we don't give them compensation, what will their families think? Do we think lives are more valuable than others? In fact, the world is unequal, but we can't say such things. Once you say such things, you become the public enemy of this city. Many moralists will stand on their moral high ground and criticize you, but they will do even worse things than you.
At the start of the battle, Liu Ning didn't think these people would suffer much damage, because he focused all his attention on Taro's tentacles around him, believing that those things wouldn't cause much casualties to the soldiers. He thought that as long as the soldiers could retreat far enough, there wouldn't be any casualties. But now Liu Ning knew he was wrong. Just look at the rows and rows of corpses on the ground. No one expected it to end like this. No matter how much Liu Ning blamed himself, there was no way to change the situation. So now, all Liu Ning could do was to cheer up and give their families a good treatment, so that they wouldn't have to worry about them anymore. This was the only thing Liu Ning could do now. He really didn't know how else to comfort them.
The group exchanged opinions. The situation of the Fusang Martial Arts School in this city was as described. They didn't have any other branches in this city, so there was no need to search it. Other cities were different. The Fusang Martial Arts School had its own bases in other cities. Now that they had confirmed the case and obtained the key evidence, they would take action in other cities. The reason they obtained the evidence was for the benefit of the other cities. Now, some things didn't need further explanation; their evidence was conclusive. If some cities didn't take action and even offered them assistance, then they were really going too far. This kind of guy absolutely couldn't be allowed to escape; everyone understood this very well.
Of course, this challenge exists. After the Fusang Martial Arts School incident, many leaders went into hiding, including Watanabe Taro. These kinds of guys would never expose themselves, because they understand perfectly well that in this situation, once they leak even a little information, they'd be unable to hide any longer; they'd all be listed as first-degree criminals. The bounty on their heads began to rise steadily. If they wanted to hide, they needed someone they trusted implicitly. Without such a person, their lives would be very difficult. They'd have to evade the police and military every day, and even eating a meal could expose them. But they couldn't be like Watanabe Taro; dying so quickly was too tempting.
"Lord City Lord, I have a suggestion. We should try not to keep our situation secret. We need to let everyone know about it to some extent, especially the high-ranking officials in various cities. We need to let them see the harm this matter has to do with. I also know what kind of situation the Human Investigation Bureau is in. If we hand everything over to the Human Investigation Bureau, they will definitely seal off the data. In the future, those in power will not be able to see it either. I know that there will be many ambitious people who will continue this project, but among all the people, ambitious people are a minority. I think most people hate this project. We should let them know the true meaning of this project. Only in this way can we save more people."
Liu Ning thought for a moment and said that we should give everyone the right to know. We can't keep it sealed off forever; that's not a good thing.
