Northern Commonwealth, Sac.
Sark is the third most chaotic region in the Northern Federation. Unlike the Southern Federation, it is not so backward, the infrastructure is quite complete, and there are no ancient families or separatist warlords in various places.
But the crime rate here is no less than that of the Southern Federation, because there are many gray and black industries hidden in the gloomy cracks of the cities of the Northern Federation, and violence and crime grow here in a more civilized way.
Gang members covered with tattoos patrolled the streets in twos and threes. From time to time, rolling dice and rude shouting could be heard from both sides of the street, and occasionally even faint moans and the sound of flesh colliding.
There is no barbarism here, only sin.
Young Roman was sitting in a booth of a roadside bar, closing his eyes and listening to the sounds of the city. Unlike the third-rate thugs wandering the streets, he was a middle-level gangster and was responsible for professional intelligence work.
He came here today to meet an informant.
With the sound of wood creaking, the compartment door was pushed open.
The informant was a young woman in her twenties, wearing a thick coat and a scarf around her neck that covered the lower half of her face, but her exposed bright eyes allowed one to imagine her beauty.
But after she came in, Roman did not continue to ask normally as usual. Instead, he glanced sideways at the window, then raised his finger and touched the window.
Ripples appeared, and the scene outside the window began to blur.
Seeing that he had completed the insurance work, the woman's sitting posture relaxed a little:
"Boss, do you still remember those members of the Salvation Alliance?"
Yes, Roman, who looks like an ordinary gangster, is not only a member of the Northern Federal Salvation Alliance, but he is even the leader of the remnant group that they still don't know about. This identity cannot match him.
This is one of the reasons why the Federation has not found him yet. However, before Shenxiao was imprisoned, he had already been hiding in Sac State with his current identity. From the beginning to the end, only a few people knew his identity.
His undercover job was to deal with situations similar to Shenxiao's imprisonment. When the other members of the Salvation Alliance gave up resistance, he still maintained the fire and accumulated strength to try to rescue Shenxiao Walker in the future.
"Well, I remember you didn't give them much information." Roman glanced slightly at the blurry window.
"They are also very cautious." The woman raised her hand and touched the scarf, "And it seems that after finding our peripheral personnel, they don't seem to care so much about having in-depth contact with us."
"We don't trust them." Roman's eyes returned to the woman opposite, "Of course they don't trust us that much, and when facing the federal pursuit, this kind of suspicion is necessary.
“Building trust is never easy.”
The woman nodded:
"Now they want to arrange a meeting, and they also revealed the guy behind them, the man who caused a lot of trouble during this period, and it was he who took the lead in signing the armistice agreement.
"Can we trust him?"
Roman asked back:
"Do you know him?"
She shook her head:
"I can't guarantee that although we have some information about him, judging from what we know, this Ma En should not be a federal spy, but his acting style is also quite special, which makes me not sure that I can completely trust him. He can’t make a decision whether he should see him or not.”
Roman nodded slightly:
"This matter is no small matter."
The woman asked:
"So find a way to drag them along?"
Roman shook his head:
"No, you arrange a meeting, just me and him. I don't know your information, so if there is really any conspiracy here, there is no dangerous information in my mind that can be robbed."
The woman asked:
"how about you?"
Roman showed a confident look:
"I won't be caught that easily. If there is an ambush, I am still confident that I can escape. However, your worries are not unreasonable, so I will make this decision because I trust him.
"To be precise, I don't believe Ma En. I don't know him well, but I believe those members of the Salvation Alliance who found you in the first place. Unless Ma En deceived them, Ma En should be fine."
Although he said he "doesn't trust" them, they also don't trust him.
But when he said this, he already acquiesced that those people were in the same situation as himself.
The woman nodded:
"Okay, then I will go and reply to them right now. If something happens to you, we will wait for you to appear in our sight again. Before that, we will continue not to expose our existence.
"If you die..."
Roman nodded firmly:
"Then keep fighting."
