I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 558 143: Banquet (4.4K Words)_2

This is far superior to merely discussing ideals or making empty promises.

Mokaka clearly understands that, until they can completely overthrow the current rules and restructure society, within the existing social framework, this is the best choice.

Perhaps in the future, when she gains a certain level of power and has the ability to change the world, she can implement some new policies to try to alter the rules.

But that's a matter for the future.

So regardless, the relationship between Mokaka and Yun You is still very good.

As for her relationship with Tian En, after a series of peculiar chemical reactions, it has returned to how it was when Yun You first saw them.

Although Tian En was taken to the Huangxing Group, she still willingly serves as Mokaka's Maid Chief, always calling her Lady Mokaka, and often cuddling up...

Mokaka often complains verbally, but her body instinctively moves closer.

Regarding this, Yun You doesn't have any opinions.

After all, from a certain perspective, Mokaka now belongs to her too, just like Tian En.

Since they both belong to her, Yun You doesn't mind how close they get...

"Speaking of which..."

Yun You stroked her chin, looking at Mokaka and Tian En cuddling, and asked, "Are you really going to the 'Starlight Welfare Institute' in T District?"

"The local security conditions weren't very good to start with, and T District is frequently troubled due to gang-related strife. Even though the place has gained more police presence recently because of the elections, it can't entirely eliminate the gang threats."

"If it's really not feasible, why not just hold a press conference directly in G District?"

Upon hearing this, Mokaka gave it some thought but ultimately shook her head.

"There's no stipulation, but it's an unwritten old rule."

"The Starlight Welfare Institute is one of the few charitable organizations in Nest City No. 3, dedicated to taking care of soldiers who were disabled in war and the orphans of those soldiers."

"You know, Nest City No. 3 was initially established due to major contributions from these soldiers. Therefore, this city is one of the regions on Earth that respects the soldier community the most, and the Starlight Welfare Institute is proof of this respect..."

"Even though we all know that essentially this is also a facade, the surface actions still need to be performed."

That's the truth.

The initial establishment of Nest City No. 3 is reportedly due to the tyranny of Nest City No. 2's ruler, which the lower-class citizens couldn't endure, thus united a group of soldiers to rebel and form another city.

That is how Nest City No. 3 came to be.

Consequently, Nest City No. 3 is the only city that has an independent military organization, and this organization even holds voting rights in the council, which indeed raises the status of soldiers.

But this is limited only to formal soldiers who joined the military organization, other unregistered mercenaries are still called stinky hillbilly...

"Therefore, before taking office, every district mayor must visit the Starlight Welfare Institute to gain the support of the old soldiers and deliver an inauguration speech there."

Mokaka crossed her arms and explained, "After completing these procedures, the mayor can gain recognition from the military and formally obtain command of a troop."

Upon hearing these words, Yun You nodded and didn't refute further.

Old Jin had previously advised her to strive for every power that could be obtained, and the military was one of the selectable targets.

Traditionally, the military is closely tied to, and has many collaborations with, the giant enterprises within Nest City. However, since giant enterprises have been monopolizing the military's weapon supplies and continually increasing prices to exploit them, the military internally expresses discontent towards the few large enterprises.

Hence, the current stance of the military is likely neutral, not assisting anyone, and refraining from stating their position easily, just silently working according to regulations and slowly accumulating power.

Currently, the Nest City No. 3 military has 4.5 million formal soldiers in total, comprising 12 legions, including seven army legions, three navy legions, and one orbital fleet and one expeditionary fleet, with capabilities for long-range strikes and orbital bombardment.

There's also an Apprentice Death God within the military, although they are mostly responsible for special operations and rarely engage in direct assaults at the front line.

Within Nest City No. 3, the military's power surpasses that of any giant enterprise, second only to the Death God Organization and the Shadow Council with unknown strengths. If military support could be obtained, even a mayor from a civilian background could establish a firm footing in the political arena.

And if the mayor becomes a heroic leader capable of gaining complete allegiance from the military, even the Death God Organization would dare not easily target the mayor.

Of course, this is merely wishful thinking, considering how proud the military is, even the Death God Organization has not managed to completely humble them, let alone an ordinary mortal.

Mokaka just hopes for verbal support from the military, and she would be quite satisfied.

"Since that's the case..."

Yun You pondered briefly before making a decision.

"Then Tian En and I will accompany you on this trip."

"Although I heard that the Starlight Welfare Institute has a rule forbidding Apprentice Death Gods from entering, if we disguise ourselves a bit, we should be able to sneak in."

"With the two of us secretly protecting you, those gang members and other individuals with ill intentions shouldn't dare to harm you."

"As for the others, they'll remain at the Group."

Neither Tian En nor Mokaka had any objections to this order.

Thus, after preparing briefly, the three of them changed into regular clothes and set off for T District.
