Driven out of my home in the apocalypse, I built a fortress in return.

Chapter 374 The Dilemma of Dragon City!

"These two bastards!" Black Horse's gaze swept over the two men, and his pupils contracted.

He instantly realized that these two people had come specifically to cause trouble and deliberately smear Longcheng.

Just as Lord Xueye had worried, those spies and conspirators, while not particularly strong, were absolutely first-rate at causing destruction.

For example, the current situation...

Longcheng is now in a dominant position, and once it's been smeared, the public is easily convinced.

In this situation, Longcheng has absolutely no way to defend himself.

If not handled properly, Longcheng's reputation will be severely damaged.

Thinking of this, a bead of cold sweat broke out on the black horse's forehead.

I originally thought that the police superintendent was only in charge of maintaining public order, and that it should be a very simple job.

Now he understood why the city lord wanted him, a half-step seventh-level cultivator, to be the head of the patrol police.

This job is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

Black Horse couldn't help but admire the city lord's foresight.

He was at his wit's end. What should he do now?

"Chief! These two are spies from Ghost Lantern City!" Just as Black Horse was having a headache, Monkey, whom he had just brought over, squinted at the two people lying on the ground and shouted.

"What? They're spies?"

The people around were all startled and looked at the monkey and the two people suspiciously.

In the end, those who lacked judgment all shook their heads.

They preferred to believe the two people lying on the ground because they were the weaker ones.

"Director!"

The monkey pointed at the two of them and said in a serious tone, "Spies have their own code of conduct. To prevent accidentally killing their teammates, each spy will have a tattoo or a special token on their body. The spies of Ghost Lantern Castle will have a lamp pattern tattooed on their right shoulder."

"Just take a look at their clothes, and you'll know if they're real or fake."

As a spy, the monkey knew very well the identification markers for spies in each city.

What's more, he happens to know these two people!

"How do you know so much? It's you!" Upon hearing the monkey's words and seeing its appearance clearly, the two people lying on the ground pretending to be injured suddenly changed their expressions and tried to run away.

They recognized him immediately; he was none other than the infamous King of Sky Thieves!

Isn't this person from Sunset City? Why is he hanging out with people from Dragon City?

However, before they could figure out what was going on...

With a wave of his hand, several patrol officers rushed forward and subdued the two men.

Then, the two patrol officers tore open the two men's shoulders to take a look.

Upon seeing the patterns on the two men's shoulders, Black Horse was overjoyed and announced loudly to the crowd, "Ladies and gentlemen, did you all see that? These two men really do have the Ghost Lantern City pattern on their shoulders! They are spies who infiltrated Dragon City to cause trouble, and what they just said was all a frame-up against Dragon City!"

The onlookers also saw the two men's tattoos and were all shocked and incredulous.

"How could that be? Those two are the bad guys! They're too cunning! They're leading us by the nose!"

"Yes! They almost made us wrongly accuse Longcheng! They deserve to die!"

"However... Dragon City is indeed impressive, they caught the hidden spy so quickly."

Previously, the group was led astray by the two spies because they lacked the ability to discern the truth.

But now that the truth is clear, everyone has more and more faith in Longcheng.

"Captain! This isn't over yet!" the monkey said again.

“There’s a black market in the City of Ruins that specializes in selling stolen goods of dubious origin. The reason I recognized these two is because I’ve seen them more than once when I was hanging around there before. So, they are very likely one of today’s thieves, and... there are their accomplices at the scene.”

As the monkey spoke, its sharp gaze swept across the entire room.

Three people immediately took a few steps back and turned to run away.

Seeing this, the monkey sneered and pointed at the three men, shouting, "Grab them! Don't let them get away! The money is on them!"

He dared not forget the way the city lord had given him to atone for his sins: he had to catch a hundred thieves.

These five people are just like him; they're all repeat offenders and expert thieves.

Since they're here, it's obvious they're here to provide cover.

Upon hearing this, Black Horse's eyes lit up, and he looked at Monkey with surprise, "There's such a good thing?"

The reason things have turned out this way is because so many people have had their money stolen.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand, and several patrol officers immediately rushed into the crowd and pinned the three thieves to the ground.

The three men tried to resist, but the patrol officer slapped them several times.

All three of them had lost a mouthful of yellow teeth and their faces were covered in blood; now they all behaved themselves.

This isn't Earth as it was before; Xiao Yu wouldn't stipulate that violent law enforcement is prohibited.

If you encounter a villain or assailant, killing them on the spot is not a crime! There is no such thing as excessive self-defense!

"Captain, look!" The patrol officers searched the three of them casually and found a huge pile of dragon coins. These three were clearly only at the second or third level, yet they were carrying forty or fifty thousand crystal coins. It was impossible!

"They really are thieves! I remember now, this guy bumped into me earlier!"

"These despicable thieves! Kill them!"

Seeing this, those whose money had been stolen immediately understood.

These two are thieves, and they stole from more than one person.

"Everyone!" After catching the two thieves, Black Horse spoke again: "Those of you who have had money stolen, please come and line up to register. Dragon City will return the money to you in full."

"Longcheng is so awesome! Thank you! Thank you so much!" one of the owners exclaimed with delight after receiving the money.

"Yes! If something is stolen elsewhere, you just have to accept it, but I never expected... to find it in Dragon City. Thank you! Thank you so much!" Another female victim, holding her recovered purse, was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes, and she bowed repeatedly to express her gratitude.

This is a wasteland world; nobody follows rules or laws.

If you lack strength, and are killed for no reason while walking down the street, you can only accept your bad luck.

Only in Dragon City did they feel a sense of security they had never felt before.

Immediately, everyone lined up to register and received their money.

During the registration and return of embezzled funds, some people dishonestly reported false figures in an attempt to deceive the authorities.

But when the dark horse showed them the amount they had exchanged at the exchange counter, the group was instantly speechless.

How could these people possibly know?

Everyone must have their identity bracelet number checked when exchanging Dragon Coins.

The exchange office kept a clear record of how many dragon coins they exchanged.

I only exchanged 1000 Dragon Coins, how could 1 Dragon Coins have been stolen?

These people are completely taking advantage of Longcheng and trying to extort money from him!

"Chen Jiu! Zhang Tie! How dare you defraud my Longcheng by falsifying figures! As punishment, none of the recovered stolen money will be returned!" With Hei Ma's order, the men instantly turned pale.

"What?" Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

The other people who had their money stolen also considered exaggerating the amount.

Now, all of these people are thankful they didn't do anything stupid.
