Ever since the court commissioner Luo came to Crescent City, the city has undergone drastic changes in just half a month, and a massive purge is taking place throughout the society.

Within the Crescent City Council, all 319 officials, including the Director of the General Security Bureau, Schenkov, who had cleared the way for border refugees outside the Rusty Wall, were all dismissed and thrown into jail without exception.

As for the mercenaries, the leaders of those mercenary groups that had participated in fighting against the ferocious beasts were arrested one after another on various charges, and the middlemen who had close dealings with them also suffered.

And those who were completely inhumane, who did nothing or even acted recklessly during the ferocious beast crisis, were all promoted by Luo. Those who were originally unsuccessful began to rise step by step, and those who were already in prominent positions were promoted to higher positions.

Righteous people are behind bars, while jackals and parasites are rampant; this is what has happened in Crescent City in the past half month.

At the same time, the hunt for the fugitive Wolf Raid members and their leader Fenrir continued non-stop. Local security forces and the Supreme Court Guards could be seen checking pedestrians everywhere on the streets. The airspace was completely blocked 24 hours a day, and not even a bird could fly out.

The flames that Fenrir had just ignited by overturning the Tower of Babel were ruthlessly extinguished under Luo's iron-fisted suppression. No one knew what direction the situation would develop in next.

Outside a high-end restaurant in the Lakeside Business District, Su Mo did not drive his usual Black Ark, but instead drove a low-key sedan, parked on the side of the street, and sat in the passenger seat.

Luo had finished his dinner at this time and was walking out of the restaurant accompanied by his entourage. The person who treated them to dinner was the boss of a well-known local consortium.

Dongdong leaned against the car window, looking coldly at Luo who was chatting and laughing with the big boss in the distance, and said, "I heard that this special envoy wants people to prepare a hundred dishes for every meal, and only eat a small bite of each dish, and throw away all the food that cannot be eaten."

"Oh, what a dog! It's because of scum like this that so many people in the world don't have enough food to eat."

Su Mo smiled slightly: "Do you think she is bad?"

Dongdong asked back: "What else? Isn't it bad to be such a slut who wastes food?"

Su Mo put his hand on Dongdong's head and rubbed it gently. He looked at Luo from afar with her and said meaningfully: "Dong, many times, things cannot be judged by appearance alone."

"Come on, put on your hat, and I'll show you things that others can't see."

The two men put on their baseball caps and left the car, and walked towards the back alley of the high-end restaurant under the leadership of Su Mo.

The back alley is directly connected to the restaurant's food waste disposal room. Some untreated sewage can be seen on the ground, and flies are buzzing around the dirty trash can.

The back alleys of restaurants like this one often see many homeless people gathering there, waiting to eat the dumped garbage.

This time is no exception. Gathered here are elderly vagrants and young homeless children, who are eagerly looking forward to food.

Soon, the door of the food waste disposal room opened, and several restaurant employees came out pushing carts of garbage bags and throwing them into the trash can, complaining as they did so.

"Such a good dish is all wasted, oh."

"Do you think the special commissioner is ill? Are all people who go to court so extravagant?"

"You're really sick. If you can't finish the food, just leave it there. You only took a small bite anyway. The kitchen can take it back and process it a little before selling it. Why do you have to throw it in the trash? It's disgusting."

"Yeah, in the past, when I cleaned the tables of important people, I could always get a lot of delicious food to take home. Today, these beggars really got a bargain."

The garbage that the restaurant staff threw out was nothing else but the food that had just been picked up from the dinner party in Luo.

The high-end ingredients that were only enjoyed by the social elite were now piled in dirty trash cans, mixed with the dirt inside. Their original fragrance was covered up, giving off an unpleasant smell.

Even so, the homeless people still had shining eyes and rushed over to grab food from the trash can. They didn't care about the dirt at all and stuffed it directly into their mouths. If their mouths couldn't fit any more, they put it in their pockets.

The restaurant staff kept cursing and complaining, then went back to work, leaving the homeless to loot the trash cans.

Looking at this scene, Dongdong was a little dazed. Perhaps he remembered himself who was living on the streets in the past, or perhaps he realized the deep meaning that Su Mo wanted to express.

Su Mo looked at the homeless people rummaging through the trash cans and said deeply, "You think Luo is a scum who wastes food, but there is something behind this that outsiders cannot see."

"You only saw Luo throwing the unfinished food into the trash can, but you didn't see whose mouth the food ended up in."

Dongdong muttered, "She poured out the food to leave it for these people who can't afford to eat?"

"But why did she have to dump it in the trash? Couldn't she just leave it there for the restaurant to deal with?"

Su Mo shook his head and said, "If we leave it to the restaurant, what do you think will happen?"

"So many dishes that have hardly been touched are priceless ingredients. The cheapest dish can sell for thousands or even tens of thousands. If you were a restaurant owner, could you resist reselling them?"

"Even if the boss really has a conscience and doesn't sell the eaten food to other customers, the food will most likely be taken away and eaten by the head waiter or other waiters."

At this point, Su Mo's eyes became deep: "The same food tastes different in different people's mouths. Some people eat it just to satisfy their appetite, while others rely on it to survive."

"If you want food to get into the mouths of people who really need it, the easiest way is to dump it into the trash can and make it dirty. The dirtier the better, because people who are starving will eat anything and will never care whether it is dirty or not."

Dongdong nodded subconsciously. Obviously, she understood Su Mo's last words deeply.

After a moment of silence, she asked again in confusion: "But if she wanted to help the homeless, why did she have to beat around the bush? Why not just donate money to the foundation herself, or ask those bosses to donate money to the foundation?"

Su Mo smiled briefly: "Foundation? You donated 100 million to the foundation. Do you think only 1 of it was actually implemented?"

"As long as there is enough profit, those parasites will dare to do anything. No matter how much you donate, in the end, the only ones who will benefit from it are those who benefit from it."

"Besides, she is a special commissioner who is very busy. She doesn't have enough time on weekdays to focus on these things. So, she took advantage of the physiological activity that humans must do, 'eating'."

"As you can see, the bosses are the ones who spend the money, and the food ends up in the mouths of the homeless. There is no exploitation, no deductions, and no time or energy is taken up from the workers. It is done directly from top to bottom."

"Each meal has 100 dishes. Assuming each dish can keep five hungry people alive, one meal can save 5 people. Extend the time to a month, a year, or ten years, and you can calculate how much that is."

Dongdong was a little dazed after hearing this. Obviously, she didn't realize the deeper meaning behind it.

She was silent for a long time, then muttered in a low voice: "According to you, this Luo is a good person?"

Su Mo couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing this.

More than just a good person.

Among all the characters appearing in the game "Dawn", if Sumer was asked to choose the kindest good person, he would not choose the chivalrous Shangguan Li, nor would he choose Fenrir who fought for the border.

He would choose Luo.

Luo comes from a prominent family. Her three generations have all been important officials in the court. She herself also holds an important position, mediating between the major forces in the court. At the same time, she works for the three giant companies and represents their interests everywhere.

But no one would have thought, not even the top managers of giant companies, that such a loyal court official was actually a revolutionary at heart.

Whether it is Shangguan Li or Fenrir, they do have their own glorious ideals, but they still have feelings in their hearts, and their personal emotions will affect their decision-making.

Just like Fenrir, the attack on the Tower of Babel was indeed exciting, but objectively speaking it was irrational.

So what if the Tower of Babel is torn down? There is more than one "Tower of Babel" in this world. Even if the Tower of Babel in Crescent City is burned to ashes, a new Tower of Babel will be built after a while. Nothing can be changed.

Fenrir did this entirely to help Troy and give Sibel hope of survival.

But Luo is completely different. He is a person who is so kind that he can be described as "cruel".

Luo doesn't love her family, her colleagues, her friends, any individual, not even herself.

She loves all mankind.

For the future of all mankind, she can give up everything.

In the original plot of "Dawn", in order to gain power and further insert himself into the heart of the giant's power, Luo poisoned his biological parents without any hesitation and killed his childhood playmates who he had known for decades.

It is wonderful and dangerous to be in the company of such people.

The beauty is that if you share the same ideals, you never have to worry about her betraying you.

The danger is that for this ideal, she can sacrifice everything, including you as her companion.

This is Luo, a thorny rose that blooms silently in the darkness, extremely kind and extremely cruel.

What was the purpose of Luo's recent actions? To be honest, Su Mo had no idea. The current situation had already deviated far from the original plot.

There is only one thing that is beyond doubt, that is, in Luo's calculations, what she did was to defeat the giant companies and for the future of all mankind.

As for why suppressing righteous people is related to defeating giant companies? What kind of big game is she playing? Su Mo can't guess it yet, and needs to wait and see.

"Ding-ling-ling." At this time, the cell phone rang.

Su Mo picked up the phone, and it was KK who answered it.

"Brother, the intelligence department reports that the convoy for the court is coming our way. When will you be back?"

Su Mo thought to himself: What is coming will come.

I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse, but I can’t avoid it anyway, so I’ll just take it.

Su Mo replied: "Got it, I'll be back soon."

During Luo's trip to Crescent City, many people around Su Mo were arrested. He had to be on guard and personally reviewed all kinds of documents within the mercenary group to ensure that there was no evidence that could lead to his arrest.

Luo is coming to visit tonight, and Su Mo did not make any special arrangements, otherwise the other party would know that he is monitoring her, which would be too damaging to his goodwill, so everything in the entire building is normal.

Su Mo drove faster than Luo's convoy and returned to the building first, only coming down to greet the other party after they arrived.

Luo entered the lobby and took the initiative to extend his hand to Su Mo: "Captain Su, I've heard a lot about you. You are much more handsome than you look in the photo."

Su Mo responded humorously: "I am just a popular person, Miss Luo, you don't have to compliment me. Do you want to have a midnight snack? The chefs are here, and all the ingredients are ready. I'll ask them to prepare a table according to the specifications?"

Luo smiled slightly: "No, I'm quite full after dinner, just a cup of tea will be fine."

Hearing this answer, Su Mo felt a little relieved.

Luo, like most leaders, was thickly disguised. She was always polite and generous when speaking to everyone, and it was almost impossible to detect any clues from her words.

But from the perspective of a time traveler, it is not difficult to judge what Luo thinks of a person, that is to look at her attitude towards the matter of "treating guests".

According to normal interpersonal communication, if someone is willing to let you treat him/her, it means there is something good between you.

He doesn't even let you treat me to a meal and doesn't give me any face at all, so the relationship between you is just like that.

But the situation is the opposite for Luo.

If she gladly accepts your invitation and lets you spend money to set up a big table, then the impression she has of you must be average.

If she doesn't ask for anything and doesn't let you spend money on entertainment, it means she has a good impression of you.

With this foresight, Su Mo felt relieved. He said, "Then let's go to the tea room to talk."

The group came to the tea room, Su Mo and Luo sat down facing each other at the tea table, and the others stood by.

KK acted as a housekeeper, helping to make tea.

Luo glanced at KK and asked, "Border people?"

KK was stunned and subconsciously looked down at his chest. For a moment, he thought he was still wearing the "dog tag" that exposed his identity.

"It seems so." Luo said with a smile, "The nameplate is no longer worn, but some small details in the gestures are difficult to change."

"Captain Su has a large family and a lot of wealth. He doesn't hire a professional housekeeper, but keeps a small frontier person like you by his side. It seems that you two are friends for life."

Su Mo didn't plan to let KK respond. A big shot of this level was not someone he could deal with with his limited experience.

Su Mo smiled and continued, "KK followed me before I started my business. We went through so much together back then, and I can't abandon him now that I'm rich."

This was the truth, and he also used this topic to gain more favor in Luo's heart.

Luo held her cheek with her hand, and her smile became mysterious: "So, he is your important companion."

"Chen Zhengde." she called.

The warrior who had injured Shangguan Li stood up and glanced at KK intentionally or unintentionally.

The tea room was completely silent, save for the sound of boiling water, which seemed somewhat depressing.

Luo smiled and stared at Su Mo for a while, then slowly said: "I see there are a lot of game machines in the arcade next door, you can take your people to compete with KK and see how good the game level of Captain Su's people is."

KK was a little confused and looked at Su Mo questioningly.

Sumer nodded to him.

The group left one after another, leaving only Su Mo and Luo in the tea room talking alone.

Luo looked at Su Mo who was pouring tea for her and said teasingly, "Captain Su, you are quite patient. All your companions were arrested, but you didn't even ask about the situation when you saw me."

Su Mo put down the teapot and shrugged: "What's the point of asking? You won't tell me."

Luo raised his eyebrows and smiled: "How do you know if you don't ask?"

Su Mo: "Okay, then tell me why you arrested them."

Luo leaned forward slightly, getting closer to Su Mo, his golden eyes concealing a dangerous cold light: "Because, we will uproot you, including you."
