Chapter 215 Lucius is stabbed

"And..." Arnel continued, "I always feel that Michel's death is not that simple. He was investigating something before he died, maybe it was related to Praxil..."

Ling Luxian's heart moved. It seemed that this kid was from Michelle's faction. It must be said that this kid had a very strong judgment. To be precise, Michelle's death was related to Bridget.

As for why someone could see Bridget's shortcomings, but her plan could still go smoothly, Ling Luxian had already figured it out.

First of all, the voodoo gangs control the economic lifeline of the Haitians. It can be said that Haitians rely on them for food.

Another thing is that as refugees, Haitians definitely don't have good education conditions. I'm not laughing at this, but the education level of Night City locals is not necessarily better than that of Haitians.

Most importantly, the voodoo gang has a monopoly on knowledge. It can be said that 80% of people with "skills" have joined the voodoo gang. This is why so many Haitians need Prachide's help.

Another group of "knowledgeable" Haitians have turned to religion, which is the reason for the current predicament of Haitians.

The struggle between Michel and Bridget is more like the struggle between divine power and royal power in the Middle Ages. Michel was defeated and sought external help but was discovered and killed.

Now Bridget is doing something again, believing in the Cyber God and trying to ascend to consciousness. With both the "kingship" and the "divine power" in hand, the plan is of course going smoothly.

Fortunately, Ling Luxian ended her conspiracy early, otherwise, if she released Otto because of her selfishness, it would be the biggest trouble.

Now that the Voodoo Gang is gone, Ling Luxian looks at Anel. Perhaps this child will be the hope of the Haitian people.

Ling Luxian asked him, "Now that the Voodoo Gang is gone, what are you going to do?"

Arnel said without hesitation: "Now that Michelle is gone and Bridget is gone, it's time for someone to step up and take up the mantle."

Looking at Anel's resolute eyes, Ling Luxian had no doubt that the person Anel was talking about who would take up the banner was him.

Ling Luxian nodded slightly, very satisfied with Arnel's answer. It won't be long before Kang Tao will be stationed in Taipingzhou once Lucius's problem is solved. Having a clear-headed leader at that time will be of great help to Kang Tao.

"But this is not easy. Do you have a specific plan?"

After a moment of contemplation, Arnel replied somewhat frustratedly, "First, we need to feed them. Now that the Voodoo Gang is gone, we have lost most of our economic power. I'm afraid we won't even survive this winter.

But no matter how difficult it is, I will find a way to make sure they have food to eat."

Ling Luxian patted Arnel on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, things will turn around. I've traveled a lot and got some inside information that Kang Tao will soon be stationed in Taiping Island. As long as you can seize the opportunity, you will definitely have no problem getting enough food."

Arnel nodded gratefully. "Thank you for your advice. This information is really valuable."

He searched his body and his face turned red. "I'm sorry, I don't have that much money to buy your information."

Ling Luxian waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, just think of it as a free gift from me. I have other things to do, so I won't stay here long. I wish you all have fun."

"Wait a minute!" Arnel stopped Ling Luxian who was about to leave, "Although I don't have the money to pay you now, I will definitely repay you in the future!"

Ling Luxian smiled and nodded, "Okay, let's talk about it after you succeed in the future."

Sitting back in the car, Rebecca thought of Grandma Etta and felt a little depressed.

"Do you think that without Prasidh and his people, Grandma Etta would starve to death?"

Ling Luxian was stunned for a moment, and his hand that was about to start the car stopped in mid-air.

Sure enough, Rebecca is still Rebecca, worthy of being the little girl who can take in the target of the mission. It is good to have compassion, but it is not good to have too much compassion.

Ling Luxian shook his head. "Didn't you feel very comfortable killing the Voodoo Gang before? Do you think about the consequences now?"

"But... Grandma Eta and the others don't deserve to die. If they are left without a source of livelihood because of the demise of the Voodoo Gang, I will feel guilty to death." Rebecca lowered her head with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"Not a crime punishable by death? Perhaps." Ling Luxian sneered, "But as stakeholders who benefited from the Voodoo Gang, it is not unfair for them to end up like this."

"Ah~" Looking at Rebecca's expression, Ling Luxian sighed, "You may think that I am a little cold-blooded, but the Voodoo Gang is a gang that eats human blood. They ate steamed buns stained with human blood, so they should pay a price.

The Voodoo Gang is gone, and they didn't pay a price, which is a good thing. As for whether they can continue to survive, it is not something we should consider.

Besides, look at that young man, Arnel. He has a lot of ideas. I think those Haitians might be able to survive with him.”

Rebecca bit her lip and said nothing. She knew Ling Luxian was right, but she still felt very upset.

"Okay, don't think too much." Ling Luxian comforted, "We have done a good job. At least we stopped the Voodoo Gang's conspiracy, didn't we?

Didn't you hear what Arnel said? If Bridget and the others had carried out their plan successfully, I'm afraid all of these Haitians would have died. It would be a good thing for them if we eradicated the Voodoo Gang."

Rebecca calmed herself down and felt a little better.

The car started slowly and drove towards Night City. In order to avoid boredom, Ling Luxian turned on the car radio and planned to listen to some music.

However, when I turned on the radio, no matter which channel I switched to, it was broadcasting urgent news.

"That's weird, what happened today? It's so lively, it must be because of the assassination of Saburo Arasaka last time."

As Ling Luxian said this, his left eyelid twitched.

As the saying goes, if the left eye twitches, it means good fortune, and if the right eye twitches, it means excessive fatigue. So, this news is good news for Ling Luxian.

【Welcome to listen to Yeshi FM.】

Breaking news: Our city's mayor, Lucius Lane, was assassinated today. Fortunately, both assassination attempts were unsuccessful.

Mayor Ryan is currently in good health, and NCPD has begun an investigation. We will continue to report on this incident and believe that justice will be served. 】

The news reports were vague about what exactly happened in the assassination of Lucius Lane.

After all, the mayor was assassinated in a brothel, and it would be bad news if the news got out. Lucius must have warned them not to talk nonsense.

Although the media are the mouthpieces of various companies, they are just asking for trouble by picking on Lucius Lane. After all, Lucius is a legitimate mayor, and he represents legitimacy.

However, Ling Luxian found Yeshi FM's words a little funny. Wasn't it your Yeshi who assassinated Lucius? Now the cat is crying over the mouse.
