"By the way, Captain Sefirin, I have an interesting piece of intelligence here. Would you like to take a look?" Once Folinic confirmed it was safe downstairs, she came down from upstairs, holding the intelligence she had obtained overnight from that unfortunate scout.
Captain Sefirin's expression grew increasingly grim as he read the intelligence.
"Wolumonde has always been a commercial city that welcomes everyone for trade. How could such an animal as you emerge? If everyone in Wolumonde were like you, using their local status to exclude and suppress outsiders, then Wolumonde would have long ago become a pile of garbage in the wilderness, like those abandoned dead cities.
Miss Folinic, please rest assured, I will handle this matter impartially. However, it involves many households, so I need to investigate carefully.
Comrades of Rhodes Island, Wolumonde, regardless of whether a natural disaster has occurred, has always welcomed your arrival. This time, it was just a small group of ill-intentioned people who harbored improper thoughts. I hope you will not blame the city of Wolumonde for this.
To express our apologies, the entire eastern area of Swing Plaza, not far from here, will be allocated to you as a temporary medical point. I just passed by there and saw that it is one of the few areas in the city that was not damaged by this disaster and has enough open space, and it's also the closest to here.
Afterward, I will also inform the Infected residents inside and outside Wolumonde about your presence through broadcast.
I wonder if this arrangement is satisfactory to everyone?"
Folinic, Kanna, and Anto were all quite satisfied with Captain Sefirin's proposal. After all, Rhodes Island's ultimate goal in coming here was to assist the authorities in controlling oripathy, then find the Reunion Movement members scattered here, and cooperate with the authorities to incorporate them as much as possible.
Currently, a leader like Captain Sefirin, who has sufficient authority, a sense of justice, and a clear understanding of right and wrong, is very suitable for Rhodes Island's liaison and communication. Therefore, Folinic readily accepted Captain Sefirin's apology.
After stepping outside, he looked up and surveyed his surroundings, noticing that the people mentioned in the intelligence were still outside. This immediately infuriated him.
Holding up the evidence of their crimes, Captain Sefirin said, "The plan targeting Rhodes Island and the personnel involved are all clearly written here. I'll give you an opportunity: Wolumonde is in ruins awaiting reconstruction. If you voluntarily sign up to be volunteers and contribute to Wolumonde's recovery, I can let bygones be bygones. But if you remain unrepentant, I believe Wolumonde's prison will give you sufficient clarity of mind."
After being swept by Captain Sefirin's sharp gaze, those who had participated in the conspiracy lowered their heads, completely daring not to meet his eyes.
"And don't harbor any Luck mentality (illusions of luck), otherwise, after this matter is over, don't blame me for being merciless." After speaking, Captain Sefirin ordered his subordinates to directly escort the leading wealthy merchant away from the scene.
Seeing Captain Sefirin leave just like that, the onlookers who had gathered for the excitement also dispersed. The accomplices who had plotted this incident with the wealthy merchant, realizing that they were completely at the mercy of both Rhodes Island and Captain Sefirin, could only accept their fate, and dejectedly scattered from the main entrance.
"Speaking of which, what about that guy in the kitchen?" Seeing everyone leave, Kanna suddenly remembered there was still an unlucky fellow in the kitchen.
"Ah! Oh no, why didn't you say anything just now? Now everyone's gone far..." Hearing Kanna's words, everyone realized that there was still someone they had caught locked in the kitchen.
"Is everyone alright!" Just as everyone was discussing who should run an errand to City Hall, Tatyana walked in with a young man.
"Fortunately, Captain Sefirin arrived in time, so although everyone was startled early in the morning, the impact was not significant. Miss Tatyana, could you take our people to scout the Swing Plaza that Captain Sefirin mentioned earlier, to facilitate the construction of a subsequent emergency medical point?" Folinic nodded to Tatyana. As the person Captain Sefirin had previously arranged to liaise with Rhodes Island, her return here proved that Captain Sefirin indeed wanted to cooperate with Rhodes Island on the current emergency situation.
"No problem, Swing Plaza is not far away, and there's a large open space on the east side of the plaza. Although it suffered some damage during the natural disaster, the overall impact is not significant. With a little tidying up, a large medical point can be set up," the man standing behind Tatyana said after hearing Folinic's words.
"And this is?" Folinic recognized that this young man was the same one who had proactively contacted Captain Sefirin at the security booth yesterday before the natural disaster struck.
"Hello, thank you very much for your timely intelligence yesterday, otherwise Wolumonde would have suffered even more severe damage. My name is Thorwald, and I am a member of the Wolumonde militia. Captain Sefirin, whom you know, is also my father. Father just told us that you might need help here, so we immediately rushed over." Years of militia training made Thorwald look very capable. After a brief introduction, he stepped back, appearing very gentlemanly.
"Speaking of help, we do have some needs. There's an unlucky fellow in the kitchen; can you take him back?" Kanna glanced at Thorwald and then pointed towards the kitchen, saying.
The young woman beside her eyed the young man in front of her with a puzzled look. She noticed that Kanna didn't seem to care for this young man, or rather, ever since he introduced himself, Kanna seemed somewhat annoyed.
"Uh, of course, no problem. It must be the person you apprehended, right? I'll go take him back to City Hall right away." Hearing Kanna's words, the young man didn't feel that Kanna was targeting him. He readily agreed to Kanna's request and walked towards the kitchen.
"Then Miss Tatyana, please lead me to Swing Plaza to scout the area," Folinic said to Tatyana, pointing outside the door after the young man walked inside.
"Alright, Miss Folinic, please follow me..." It was clear that both Tatyana and Thorwald were practical people. After Kanna's side made a request, they began to act without a second thought.
"You don't seem to care much for that man? I thought you two had just met, so why do you dislike him? Hmm... Could it be that you've fallen for Tatyana, then discovered they have an affair, and so you've turned to hatred born of love...?" The young woman walked up to Kanna and whispered.
"Shut down your irrelevant associations... If you want to know why I don't like him, then my answer is that his name is Thor..."
"Thor? What the hell?" The young woman's expression after hearing Kanna's reason was one that clearly said, 'who would believe you.'
