Chapter 280: The Real
Chapter 280: The Real
"From the police department."
After putting down the bottle of water filled with silver liquid, which weighed more than 30 kilograms, Leon changed into a uniform, took out his ID and handed it to the guard who came towards him.
When the tower guard, wearing a heavy tactical vest covered with ratchets and rivets and holding a large-caliber nail gun, began to carefully check his documents, Leon said with a stern face:
"We have just received a report that due to the recent split within the rebel group, the radical faction may take the risk of directly attacking the boarding tower to trigger a conflict between the Kingdom and the Kingdom of Korok.
Although there are no abnormalities for now, it is very likely that rebels have infiltrated. In order to avoid diplomatic accidents, we need to immediately climb the tower and interrogate suspicious people who are suspected of being radical rebels! "
Maybe someone will raid the boarding tower?!
After hearing what Leon said, the guard who was checking the documents couldn't help but tense up, and his finger subconsciously pressed the safety of the nail gun. From the pipe on the side of the helmet's breathing port, there was also a slight hissing sound as the steam quickly flowed through the pipe after the air valve was manually opened.
"I haven't received any instructions yet."
The guard, who was obviously getting nervous, immediately retreated and called the captain of the guard team. After checking the documents again, the captain of the guard team responded in a muffled voice through the breathing port of the helmet:
"We are under the jurisdiction of the military, not the police. If we hadn't received the assistance transfer order from the ambassador of the Kingdom of Korok or the police..."
"Look at your ID!"
After interrupting the captain of the guards, Leon said impatiently:
"Take a look at my last name. After you've read it, decide whether or not to wait for the transfer order!"
Last name?
The captain of the guard was slightly startled, then he followed Leon's request, turned back to the first page of the certificate, and looked at the name under the anti-counterfeiting stamp.
Baggins Lane...Lane? Lionheart Lane?
After taking a look at the golden hair sticking out from under Leon's police hat, and the several "policemen" behind him who also had golden hair, the captain of the guards couldn't help but hesitate.
Although many important members of the Lionheart family died after the Bloody Night of Ryan and their influence was not as great as before, as a great noble family that had actually controlled the military for more than two hundred years, the Ryan family still had a very large say in the military. At least, a captain of the guard like him could not afford to offend them.
So... are we really going to let these people from the police department in without a transfer order?
"Have you thought about it?"
After waiting for a long time without getting a response, Leon… Baggins Lane, who had dyed his hair yellow, urged impatiently:
"There's no time to go through the formalities in this emergency. The transfer order is already on the way. You can just let us in first. If that doesn't work, we can also hand over our guns and go in without anything else."
"But the military said that after we are transferred here, we must give priority to the Kingdom of Korok..."
"Think carefully before you speak!"
Seemingly a little irritated, Leon threatened with a frown:
"Don't think that just because I am temporarily under the jurisdiction of the Kingdom of Korok, I am no longer a member of the kingdom. I have been patient enough to waste so much time with you and even willing to hand over my weapons. You'd better not push your luck!"
"That's... okay... but the water bottles you're carrying..."
"You need to take this with you, but you can open it and examine it at will!"
"..."
Seeing the young man with a strong background in front of him was a little angry, his face was full of annoyance. The captain, who did not want to offend the Ryan family, hesitated again and again, and finally decided to let them pass. However, before letting Leon and others pass, he checked everyone's ID again and again, and even opened the water bottles in Leon and others' hands to check whether there was any liquid explosive inside, and then reluctantly let them in.
……
Wow, you got in so quickly?
After collecting the certificates handed back by the guards and handing over the service pistols they had just received in the morning, they followed "Little Baggins" into the boarding tower. The gang felt as if it were a dream.
Unlike the old leader who had to arrange a series of attacks in advance to lure away reinforcements and then lead his men to launch a surprise attack, the new leader, little Baggins, got a full set of documents and uniforms from somewhere and led himself and his men along the way without any obstacles.
Apart from the guards who had just been transferred to the jurisdiction of the Korok Kingdom, there were seven or eight different checkpoints along the way, and they all passed with just a glance, without even having to unload their guns. This... this was too smooth, right?
"Little... ahem... Chief Baggins."
I really can't figure out how the new leader did all this. The young man who once used the ability to twist space to trap Leon and the female police officer in the dungeon of the Secret Investigation Bureau couldn't help but approach Leon and asked curiously:
"How did you get these fake certificates and clothes? So many people didn't realize they were fake. Isn't it too real?"
"..."
Do you think it is possible that, except for the date of issuance of the certificate, these certificates and clothes are all real? Even the gun you just handed in has a corresponding number in the police department?
If we didn't want to alert the people of the Korok Kingdom and cause them to temporarily strengthen the defense of the boarding tower, even the joint investigation order between the military and the Korok Kingdom could have been signed to us by Ambassador Korok himself.
"I asked a friend in the police department to make it for me. They happened to have extra stock in their department, so even though the contents are fake, the material is almost the same as the real thing."
After giving a half-truthful answer, Leon, who had the backing of the Cleanup Bureau to "handle private affairs directly", silently adjusted his badge and replaced it with the [Treasoner] badge, which could greatly improve concealment and efficiency when doing illegal things. Then he spoke to everyone:
"Everyone, please pay attention. Before we take action, let's confirm the process one last time."
"First, Luke goes to the toilet not far from the management office to prepare. After the operator is knocked unconscious by the slingshot, take control of his body and open the way to the secret port for us.
Then everyone boarded the secret port and climbed onto the private boat that the sniffers were on. Paul used his space ability to flip everyone inside. After subduing the sniffers, Lucy and Phoebe took action to change their memories... Is everything clear?"
"Clear!"
"no problem!"
"It's sure to be okay!"
"Well."
After patting the water bottle in his hand and receiving the reply of "no problem" from Senior Pioni, Leon who had successfully "sneaked into" the boarding tower, led a group of gang members up the ladder tied by twenty steel cables and headed towards the management room located in the middle of the "7"-shaped boarding tower.
At the same time, a middle-aged man with freckles on his cheeks and eyes full of fatigue after days of running around, just came to the bottom of the boarding tower and showed his ID to the captain of the guard.
"I am a sniffer of the Kingdom of Korok."
After looking up at the airship parked in the secret harbor, the middle-aged man's bloodshot eyes revealed a rather complicated expression, and then he ordered in a cold voice:
"Find someone to take me to the secret port. I want to take the private ship back to the Kingdom of Korok."
