Chapter 77 Hunter and Brotherhood

"If you want to end this disaster as soon as possible, President Mars must believe in us."

At this moment, in the president's office of the Clover Guild, Walde, who had fought side by side with Li Wei and had a comradeship with him, was trying to persuade Mars with a determined attitude.

"Walde, I have confirmed your identity. The worker riot in the lower district's Mist Core Street seven months ago, it seems that the Brotherhood participated in it, right? Three months ago, the Brotherhood was already identified as a terrorist organization, and according to the current news, in this Clover Community's semi-mechanical creature riot, your Brotherhood has a very significant suspicion. Why should I believe you?"

President Mars, wearing a gray suit and meticulously combed hair, crossed his hands on the table, his eyes sharp as he looked at Walde.

Walde shrugged and said, "It's true that I participated in organizing the worker riot, but that has always been the Brotherhood's purpose. I fight for my ideals, and I don't think I've done anything wrong. If President Mars is hostile towards our Brotherhood, or even really thinks we are a terrorist organization, and that we planned this semi-mechanical creature riot in Clover, then I have nothing to say. You can tie me up and send me to KSS, maybe you'll even get a medal in return."

The difference in identity and strength between the two was huge, but Walde, in front of Mars, showed no sign of humility, standing upright with integrity.

Mars stared at Walde, remaining silent for a moment.

Walde continued, "Respected President Mars, I know that you have helped the poor people many times, and you have also fought side by side with Comrade Sun Miao. You should understand the ideals of our Brotherhood. I assure you that the semi-mechanical biological riot this time was absolutely not caused by us."

Walde mentioned Sun Miao, a figure with great reputation in some circles, a high-ranking member of the Brotherhood, strong in strength, at least not much inferior to Mars.

Although Mars had fought alongside the Brotherhood before, it didn't mean he would unconditionally agree with what Walde said. He continued to ask, "Then why do news reports put the blame on you? Indeed, the words of these aristocrats and capitalists are very unreliable, but there are so many cults and terrorist organizations to frame, why frame you? Can you tell me the reason?"

Walde was silent for a moment and said, "We have been keeping an eye on the Blackbird Heavy Industries' biochemical research center for a long time. They capture exotic beasts and monsters for semi-mechanical transformation, which is nothing to say about. But directly transforming humans is crossing the line. In the lower district and outside the city, I don't know how many families have been ruined by them..."

Mars interrupted, "As far as I know, most of the 'volunteers' recruited by Blackbird Heavy Industries are outsiders recruited from outside Wisterium City."

Walde chuckled, "Volunteers? President Mars, if I were you, I wouldn't use that word. There are no volunteers at all, just some poor people who can't survive."

"You know how bad the environment is outside the city. Blackbird Heavy Industries uses various means to deceive people into becoming so-called 'volunteers,' then transforms them into tireless, controlled semi-mechanical beings to do various hard, tiring work, with no end in sight. And the people they bring in are not just the poor outside the city, but also some bankrupt, desperate people from the lower district, whom they also deceive under the guise of recruitment."

After saying so much, Walde's face was a bit red.

Mars didn't say anything, just handed him a glass of water.

After taking a sip of water, Walde calmed down a bit and said, "Sorry, President Mars, I got a bit excited."

"It's okay, continue."

Walde put down the glass of water and said, "We targeted this biochemical research center of Blackbird Heavy Industries two years ago. We initially took many legal means, hoping to expose and ban this terrible, inhuman place, but almost without any effect. We could only choose other means, hoping to save more people, and when we were sure, we would directly destroy this biochemical research center."

"But this time it has nothing to do with us. Our last operation was a month ago, when we intercepted a carload of poor people brought in by them. As for the destruction of this biochemical research center, it hasn't even entered the formal planning yet."

Walde's words made Mars think.

There were many poor people in the lower district, but similarly, outside the supercity of Wisterium, there were also many poor people.

People living outside the supercity were even more miserable than those in the lower district. Without the protection of the city, they faced various disasters in their small gathering points, towns, and had no power to resist.

Poor, ignorant, and without any skills, they could only rely on planting on barren land, working in heartless factories with no guarantee, just to survive.

The target of Blackbird Heavy Industries' human transformation and the creation of semi-mechanical cheap laborers was mainly aimed at these poor people because they were the easiest targets in the world to deal with. Apart from organizations like the Brotherhood, no one would speak up for them.

The poor in the lower district were certainly not better off, but at least they were still inside the city, with not so many security threats.

Without the protection of the city, living in small gathering points, towns, these civilians were unable to resist various forms of disasters.

There were many, many poor people outside the city, but in the end, who would care about them? In the bustling atmosphere, few would pay attention to this, but Li Wei would not ignore it.

Up to now, in the regional hunting and killing missions, there have been more than forty deaths of hunters of various levels, and more than fifty people have been seriously injured.

This was already not a small number.

At the beginning, his mentality was a little unbalanced, but now he has adjusted. He didn't want to be one of the casualties, so now when he goes out to hunt monsters, no matter what kind of enemy he faces, he always maintains a sufficient level of vigilance.

This undoubtedly reduced his income slightly compared to before, but at least safety has a better guarantee, and he won't end up too miserable.

After three days, he obtained a lot of points and exchanged them for several C-grade flesh cores, which he injected into the Book of Ten Thousand Laws, pushing the unlocking progress of the tenth page to about halfway.

At the same time, he took another shot of C-grade genetic fluid and used the "Steel Heart" forging method to improve the development progress of his Strength Chain and Node Chain.
