The young man was stunned for a moment and walked over quickly, "Is there something wrong? Is there a data error in it?"

"No, these numbers are good."

The old man looked at the document and slowly opened the contents.

"What's the problem?"

The young man stood in front of the old man in confusion.

The old man waved his hand and motioned for the young man to sit opposite him, and then he said slowly,

"The data in your report are all quoted from the city government's database. They are perfect.

"But kid, you said in your report that the total wealth of Winter City has been growing over the years, so we should appropriately increase the consumption tax rate on basic consumer goods to increase the city government's fiscal revenue.

“Then use more fiscal revenue as subsidies to stimulate mining, thereby further increasing total wealth.

"This kind of policy cannot be fully implemented."

"But according to the data, we should be able to implement this policy. Are there any untrue aspects in these data?"

The young man seemed a little confused in his eyes.

"No, these data are real, but they are not complete truth."

The old man raised his eyes from the report in his hand and looked at the young man in front of him, "Child, have you ever left the Cloud Zone?"

This question made the young man's face freeze, and he said slowly, "I have been to Akha District."

"Entertainment venue?"

The old man asked next.

"Um!"

The young man lowered his head slightly.

The old man lowered his eyes and put the report in his hand on the table.

"Your father recommended that you join the city cabinet as secretary, but I suggest that you still go to Akha District and Storm District to visit, go deep into every street, and ask about everyone's life.

"You are inheriting your father's constituency. At least, you should visit your voters."

"yes,"

The young man nodded heavily, "Then Mr. Mayor, I'll take my leave now."

He stood up slowly and left the office quickly.

After a while, another tall man walked in through the small door on the other side, stopped beside the old man, picked up the report in front of the old man, and slowly read through it.

"The bulk of the consumption tax on basic consumer goods will eventually be levied on ordinary people, and most of the mining industry in Winter City is controlled by United Industries. Adding consumption tax to subsidize mining is just taking money from ordinary people to subsidize United Industries."

The old man took off his reading glasses and placed them on the coffee table. He stared at the sunset in the distance with his eyes lowered and said nothing.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's bracelet vibrated. He glanced at the content on the bracelet and looked up at the old man, "Mayor, Miss Willie is here. Do you need to let her in?"

"Need not,"

The old man's already drooped eyelids slowly lifted up, and for the first time some emotional fluctuations appeared in his cloudy eyes. He supported the back of the chair, stood up with difficulty, and said hoarsely, "I'll pick her up."

The breeze from the balcony was blowing the old man's white hair, the fiery red sunset gradually sank into the end of the city, and dark clouds drifted from the distant skyline and filled the sky.

——

Akka District

Sunset and moonrise.

When darkness once again enveloped the entire city, an icy wind seemed to blow in the sky again.

Continuous dark clouds once again covered the sky, covering up the last stars in the dark night.

The dark car slowly stopped at the corner of the street. Lena, who was sitting in the driver's seat, raised her bracelet and glanced at the time.

Half past seven in the evening.

There is still half an hour before the appointed time.

There were no street lights in this alley corner, and the dark night swallowed up everything around it.

She glanced back behind her. At the end of her sight, in the middle of the scattered buildings, there was a nice-looking apartment building.

That's Novis' home.

At this moment, with the apartment building as the center, it was densely packed with spies of the Eternal Secret Cult everywhere.

Her current location is on the outermost side of the Eternal Secret Cult's monitoring circle.

She withdrew her gaze, reached into her arms, and held the test tube placed on the inside of her clothes. Then she slowly let go of her hand and looked into the dark alley.

······

The closed window was slowly pushed open, and the thinly dressed young man turned over and jumped in through the window.

The blood-red butterfly folded its wings on his shoulder.

He Ao glanced at the dark living room, and then quickly walked to his room.

Although the spies of the Eternal Secret Cult were arranged very closely, with his spiritual vision, he could easily distinguish where there were extraordinary beings and where there were just ordinary spies.

As long as you avoid places where extraordinary people gather, it will be much easier to avoid those ordinary sentries.

Of course, he couldn't completely avoid all the sentries. The sentries on the inner floor of the building were much denser, but all the sentries who attacked him kept their mouths shut forever.

At least until these outposts are discovered, this infiltration will be safe.

In the hazy gray light, He Ao quickly found his closet, then found a sweater and a thick jacket from the closet and put it on, changing out of the hospital gown.

After all the clothes were neatly dressed, he reached out and opened the innermost part of the wardrobe.

A soft feeling appeared in his palm, which was a thick red scarf.

The stitching of this scarf is not neat, and it is obviously hand-knitted.

After a brief silence, he put the scarf around his neck.

Then he returned to the living room, turned on the coffee machine, and quietly prepared coffee in the dark.

——

At eight o'clock in the evening.

The elevator door opened, and a dark-skinned old man who looked like a wilderness wanderer businessman slowly appeared in the silent corridor.

In the elevator behind him, the bodies of several white-robed priests were piled up, and blood flowed along the floor of the elevator car into the elevator shaft.

There are still many white-robed priests waiting in the corridor.

The moment the old man appeared, they rushed forward without hesitation.

The old man moved forward slowly, looking at the priests who were rushing towards him. With every step he took, a golden spear was generated in the void beside him.

The sharp spear easily pierced the golden armor of the white-robed priests and pierced their bodies. The splash of blood dyed the clean floor a coquettish red.

Finally, along with the corpses lying on the ground one after another, the old man slowly stopped in front of a house.

Then he looked up at the monitor above his head.

The next second, a shining golden light burst out from the surveillance camera, and the entire surveillance camera exploded instantly.

The old man lowered his head and looked at the smart lock in front of him.

He raised his hand, ready to break the smart lock.

'drop--'

But with a soft sound, the smart lock automatically opened and the door opened backwards.

The old man's eyes paused slightly and he raised his head to look indoors.

A bright light lit up at this moment, shining in the silent living room.

A young man wearing a jacket sat on the sofa with two cups of hot coffee in front of him, one in front of him and one in front of the empty seat opposite.

He raised his head and stared at the old man standing at the door with a smile.

"Welcome, Mr. Leader."
