On the surface of the Broken Lake, a transport ship was sailing through the waves. Along the way, there were constantly jumping finger sharks attempting to taste this huge creature, making crisp sounds.

“In the Eternal Life Wine Club, is Hollis connecting everyone?”

In the only VIP room, a kind-hearted ogre sat on a soft chair, biting a pipe and exhaling a circle of pale green smoke.

In front of the ogre, a tall and handsome goblin with pointed ears was flipping through documents on a screen. It was wearing a custom-made black suit, wearing glasses, and had a worried look on its face.

“Yes, Mayor, I’m afraid they want to launch an impeachment to end your term early.” The goblin’s tone was full of worry. “You are the main person responsible for the ‘424 Incident’. If Hollis connects the moderates and demands a mayoral vote, it will be difficult for us to gain support. Those who support us will also face pressure from their own constituents.”

“I didn’t expect that I would argue with Andreier for so long, but it was this bastard Hollis who took advantage of the situation…”

Snap!

The ogre fiercely bit down, directly shattering the pipe made of white jade ivory! It chewed a few times and swallowed the pipe completely!

“How could I possibly do well in politics with this group of insects?” Its eyebrows furrowed, and its kind-hearted face suddenly became fierce. “Hollis, a human who is indecisive, lacks prominent views, lacks sharp thinking, lacks the ability to change the status quo, and is recognized as a manipulable waste, dares to compete with me?”

“Mayor, if it really doesn’t work, we can wait for the next term–“

“There is no next term, there isn’t! Kibot, we don’t have a second chance, we don’t! As long as I step down, there will be no chance to start over!” The ogre raised three thick fingers. “In the history of Camon City, there have been 51 elven mayors and 42 human mayors. I am one of the only three non-standard race mayors!”

The Blood Moon Supreme Lord fairly bestows glory upon all races, but some races receive more glory due to their appearance, such as elves and humans, known as standard races. The remaining orcs, ogres, and goblins are non-standard races.

After years of artificial selection, the appearance of non-standard races has become closer and closer to that of standard races. The most primitive and ferocious non-standard races have long been rebuilt in the infant stage and cannot even enter the gates of the orphanage.

“Do you know what I have sacrificed for this?” The ogre tapped its teeth. “I pulled out all my fangs and replaced them with neat white teeth; the first thing I do every morning is to cut my nails because ogres can grow sharp claws that are a finger joint long overnight; I have to undergo photon skin rejuvenation every week to ensure that my skin does not have ugly wrinkles.”

“Even though I have done so much, if it weren’t for the curiosity of the citizens, I would never have been elected as mayor! Even though I, Arandor Fenanche, have three golden degrees, am a second-tier golden sorcerer, and have many titles that I have forgotten, the citizens will not give me a second chance, just like you won’t watch the same clown’s second performance.”

“Kibot, do you know why I chose you as my secretary? Because you are a goblin, only you can understand my situation, only you have experienced the ridicule I have suffered.”

The goblin Kibot in the screen hesitated to speak, and the ogre Fenanche raised its fake eyebrows and asked, “What do you want to say?”

“Mayor, why… don’t you save the citizens?” Kibot’s voice sounded a bit sad. “You clearly know that it’s the foreign domain sorcerers invading, but you first said it was a rumor and that nothing happened.”

“Then you said there were serial murders and sent the Falconer Hall to investigate.”

“And finally, you said there were terrorist attacks and mobilized all the armed forces in the city.”

“By the time everything was too late, you called for the gathering of the adventurers in the war zone.”

“If you had announced everything from the beginning…”

“Announcing the truth from the beginning would only cause panic among the citizens, leading to large-scale gatherings and fleeing, giving the invaders an opportunity.” Fenanche said calmly, “So what do you think I should do? Faced with more than a hundred scattered foreign domain sorcerers who came prepared, I have already arranged for the Falconer Hall to take action.”

“And there are the research institute and the church!” Kibot said, “If they are willing to take action, the invaders will not be so rampant!”

“They are not willing. The invaders have not harmed their interests, and they have no reason or obligation to protect Camon City.”

“But you are the mayor. If you force them to make a public statement, the public will definitely support you!”

Fenanche glanced at Kibot.

“I can see it now. Hollis just wants me to step down, and you want me dead.”

“No, I, I didn’t mean that…”

“Indeed, as you said, if I publicly force them to take action, in order to maintain the hard-earned good reputation over the years, the research institute and the church will most likely help expel the invaders.”

Fenanche said coldly, “But no one can use the Blood Saint Clan and the Moon Shadow Clan without paying a price, no one. When I finish my term, what awaits me is a long death, and other rulers will take me as a lesson.”Kibot’s face was gloomy: “Are we just going to watch as the citizens are ravaged by the invaders?”

“Do you think I have no kindness? Do you have to show off your kindness that has nowhere to go?” Fenanche impatiently waved his hand. “The foreign attack will soon pass. The vacant positions will be filled by others, and the destroyed buildings will be rebuilt soon, creating more job opportunities. Within a few months, Camon City will be restored to its original state. Moreover, due to this sudden disaster, the citizens’ desire for consumption will increase in the next six months. Most of the elderly who were unable to escape in time will experience physical decline… For Camon City, this attack is actually more beneficial than harmful!”

Kibot stared at Fenanche in the light curtain, dumbfounded. “Mayor, you…”

“This is not just my opinion. The Department of Racial Protection, the Hunting Hall, the Development Planning Hall… the entire civil servant system is implying it,” Fenanche said. “Once the attack is over, it will be an opportunity for the Camon City Government Office to show its achievements.”

“Kibot, the mayor is just a temporary master parasitic on the civil servant system. If the civil servant system has such intentions, my disaster relief decree will only be slowly issued. Instead of going against everyone’s wishes, why not go with the flow and save some money?”

Fenanche said calmly, “Just like gardening, the randomly growing flowers and plants need to be pruned properly for the garden to be beautiful. But in the Blood Moon Kingdom, we cannot and will not prune. This time, someone helped with the pruning. Why not take advantage of it?”

“More importantly…” He spread his hands. “The Blood Saints crave corpses, and the Moon Shadows love death… Both the Blood Moon and the two races are enjoying this massacre. It’s a game of the gods. The Government Office cannot afford to displease them. Do you understand?”

Goblin murmured, “This is too much…”

“If you want to go further in the future, don’t care about good and evil. The Government Office only cares about order and chaos,” Fenanche tapped the table. “Alright, the teaching time is over. After you go back, take one-fifth… no, one-third from my treasury. Use it to win over the non-standard race representatives. Then take one-seventh and give it to Xilin, let the woodpecker kill all the remnants of Hollis and the Elixir of Eternal Life!”

Kibot panicked, “Mayor, how can you… You will undergo a memory investigation when you are released…”

“I will delete this memory myself,” Fenanche said calmly.

“But Hollis is not an ordinary person. He is a human representative. The Hunting Hall will definitely investigate to the end! This is gambling!”

“We won’t have a chance if we don’t gamble!” Fenanche’s voice was cold, and his eyes were as big as bronze bells. The chilling killing intent made Kibot realize for the first time that this mayor was an ogre. “I finally convinced the representatives of other races… Even the elves agreed with my plan… The various races in Camon City are finally going to unite for the first time…”

“If we are lucky enough to be the first to discover the correct passage to the Virtual Realm, if we invade the foreign domain ahead of others, then this achievement will be enough to please the Blood Moon Sovereign and ensure my re-election, giving me more time to prepare!”

“Unfortunately, ogres have always had bad luck…” Fenanche gritted his teeth. “But no matter what, I cannot end my term early, let alone hand over the position of mayor to Hollis, who only knows how to flatter. Humans are more arrogant than elves, more shortsighted than goblins, lazier than orcs, and greedier than ogres… Humans are the most unreliable race. They would rather abandon their own bodies, replace them with the blood of the Blood Saints, and wear the skin of the Moon Shadows, and then turn around and exploit their own kind even more! At this point, we have to make some small mistakes!”

Kibot looked incredulous. “Assassinating a representative is a small mistake? Then what is a big mistake?”

“It’s only a big mistake if we are discovered,” Fenanche said coldly.

The scenery outside the window stopped flowing, and the speaker in the room sounded, “Mayor Fenanche, Transport Ship No. 322 has arrived at Broken Lake Prison.”

Fenanche walked to the window, his fingers glowing faintly. He touched his temple and pulled out a thin white thread, then threw it into the sea outside, and a shark jumped out and swallowed it.

“I have already forgotten what I just said to you,” he looked at the young secretary in the light curtain. “It’s up to you, Goblin.”

With that, Fenanche turned off the light curtain and walked out of the room, accompanied by two Bloodthirsty Hunters, leaving the transport ship and entering Broken Lake Prison.

Within the yellow line, two neatly dressed prison guards were waiting.

The hunters didn’t give Fenanche any face and handed the documents to the more handsome prison guard. “There is only one prisoner being transported this time. Please sign for it.”

The handsome prison guard checked the documents and nodded. “Confirmed, it is Mayor Arandor Fenanche of Camon City.”

“There are some supplies on the ship. Will you be the only one to handle them?”

“Sorry, I don’t know if it’s because of the last batch of toxic Lalafell that was delivered, but now half of the prisoners and most of the guards have upset stomachs and are queuing in the treatment room. Can the hunters and sailors help with the transportation?”

The hunter muttered, “I heard that a batch of poisonous Lalafell was recently discovered in Camon City… It shouldn’t be… Of course, no problem. But we don’t know where the warehouse is.””I’ll lead the way for you.” The handsome prison guard turned to his colleague, “You take the mayor to register in the ‘Criminal Catalog’ and arrange the dormitory.”

“Yes.”

Fenanche turned his head, looking at the prison guard next to him who seemed almost invisible. He wasn’t sure if it was because the sunlight was too dazzling, but he always felt that the other’s face was somewhat blurry.

“Mayor Fenanche, welcome to Shattered Lake Prison. You will have a home-like experience here.”
