Starting from the Planetary Governor - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Each with His Own Agenda

Norris and Bradford, the two who were able to call the shots in the alliance and in Renaissance City, had completely lost their manners at this time.

“Damn Mondok! You had to deal with it forcefully! It’s not a pity that you lost your life, but what can we do now? The army is gone, the city is blocked, and we are all fish on the chopping board now!” Bradford’s hair was disheveled, and his expression was crazy and terrified.

But between words, he kept secretly glancing at Norris on the opposite side.

Hearing Bradford’s words, he didn’t speak, and the old Norris didn’t speak. Under his thick white hair and beard, the expression formed by his eyebrows and lips was all gloomy.

Bradford gritted his teeth and continued to complain: “What should we do now? It’s useless to do anything! Have you seen the photos? Have you seen the video? That Gu Hang! He just flew in the sky! He just executed Mondok in public! Damn it, why didn’t we know before that Gu Hang was actually a powerful psychic?!”

After that, he looked at Norris again.

The old man still didn’t speak.

Bradford continued, “Those Space Marines! Battle Sisters! Aren’t they fake?! They kill fully armed soldiers like killing chickens, and destroy our tanks as easily as opening cans! How dare we go to war with such an enemy? Damn it! Mondok, that reckless man, bewitched us and hurt us miserably!”

“And those soldiers! How dare they? Every month and every year, the government spends so much money on those soldiers, allowing them to live a life that they could never have lived when they were animals before, giving them a higher status, but how do they repay us? When they were most needed, they didn’t dare to fight to the death, but surrendered instead! That Gu Hang said he was the ruler, he was the commander of the army, bullshit! Why don’t those soldiers use their brains to think about it, has Gu Hang ever paid them a penny?”

Bradford, the business tycoon, didn’t care about manners at all, and cursed left and right, first scolding Mondok and then Gu Hang, then scolding Mondok and then scolding those ordinary soldiers.

He finally succeeded in making Norris tired of it.

“Okay, put away your crazy look, and stop pretending in front of me.” Norris said, “You want to ask me, want to know what I should do next? I can tell you, no problem, now Renaissance City has become our prison, they are all dying prisoners, what’s wrong with that? But even if I tell you, do you really dare to follow me?”

Bradford immediately abandoned his previous collapsed look, changed his face and said, “Why not? The Legion is finished, Mondok is dead, and now in the whole city, only you, Master Norris, are the real power. You have people in your hands, and you have guns and cannons when you open the arsenal. People in the whole city who don’t want to return to the rule of the Governor will unite around you!”

“Humph.” Norris snorted coldly.

After Mondok’s death and the surrender of the Alliance Legion, the political nature of Renaissance City changed.

Who can’t see that the Alliance has changed?

If in the past, it was still possible to rely on the Alliance Legion and the military potential represented by the large population in the inner and outer cities of Renaissance City to confront the Governor, now it has become absolutely impossible.

With the four gates sealed and the army turning against them, they couldn’t even leave the city. It was impossible to turn the tables.

The only thing left was how to survive.

Their lives and deaths were only in the mind of the Governor.

According to their thinking, although the Governor had not entered the city yet, it might be too late to make a decision when the Governor entered the city.

At this moment, they could not make many decisions.

It was nothing more than escaping or kneeling.

It was not easy to escape from Fuxing City at the moment; as for kneeling to the Governor, if the posture was not good, he might not survive.

Friends who had worked together in the past were now inevitably deceiving each other.

For example, at the moment, Norris could see that Bradford pretended to be collapsed in front of him and flattered him, and he had no good intentions. That guy seemed to be encouraging him to arm the industrial workers and resist to the end, but if he really did that, he was afraid that the first person to sell him out would be the guy in front of him.

Of course, what he said about having a way and knowing what to do was also false.

He would arm the workers and turn the factory into a military position. But this was by no means for resistance, but to concentrate the actual power in the city as much as possible in his hands, increase the bargaining chips he held, and finally kneel down to the governor with more weight.

The organized population, weapons and equipment, and means of production in the factory, all belong to Norris. The governor kept me, and I will be of great use in the future!

As for Bradford in front of him?

A man who used to do reselling business by relying on connections and channels, he can only wish for good luck.

…

After finishing a short conversation with old Norris, Bradford’s face was quite gloomy.

He felt that old Norris saw what he meant and was not fooled.

Damn it! Without a conspicuous guy to hold back and attract the governor’s attention in the city, how can I run away?

That’s right, Bradford wants to run away.

Bradford doesn’t want to stay and be a dog-he is not like Norris, who has the capital to be a dog.

On the contrary, the extensive network of contacts he had accumulated over the years as a channel dealer allowed him to go to many other places after leaving Fuxing City. Even if life is not as good as before, it is better than staying.

As long as he can escape.

Norris can no longer be counted on. He did not believe what Norris said, and did not believe that this guy would really confront the governor.

On the contrary, he felt that Norris was looking for a way to make his kneeling more important in order to obtain better surrender conditions in front of Gu Hang – maybe he would be used as a condition to increase his weight by that guy.

But this idea was not worth mentioning in his opinion. Those

who cannot survive, the governor has already taken action with thunder and lightning. No matter how beautiful your kneeling posture is, it is not as good as being a dead person.

Make room and sweep away the upper class, so that the governor can better paint on a blank sheet of paper.

Moreover, even if he can survive, the governor will be the one who has the final say in the city in the future, and the Union Parliament will certainly not have the power it had in the past, and it is even another matter whether it exists or not.

Old Norris was doomed, but the hateful thing was, if you were going to be doomed, why didn’t you do it more spectacularly, giving me more chances to escape?

After thinking it over, Bradford gritted his teeth and decided that he couldn’t wait any longer.

If he waited any longer, the Governor would come into the city at any time, and the purge would start at any time. If he waited any longer, he would have no chance to escape.

He made up his mind.
