The Daily Life Of A Cyberpunk Magician

At the same time, a blinding laser streaked past and another building in that direction collapsed, issuing a faint rumbling sound.

Everyone present was stunned, and Police Chief Chris looked particularly amazed, as he too recognized what these weapons were...

Aren’t these weapons strictly regulated?

Why are they in the Thirteenth District, and why now!?

At that moment, one of Chris’s confidants placed a Simulated Light Screen in front of him, ”Police Chief, the president of the Sages Group has been kidnapped. The Deception Group has claimed responsibility.”

”What?!” Chris was even more shocked; he had heard of the dreaded Deception Group, a high-IQ criminal gang active in both the Seventh and Thirteenth Districts, which both police stations had failed to handle...

Even Chief Tang had not managed to capture all of them.

Why would the Deception Group be interested in the president of the Sages Group?

And how had they captured him so easily?

”Didn’t I have you assign people to watch over him?” Chris asked through clenched teeth.

”Police Chief, the Sages Group doesn’t trust our people; we could only screen for suspicious individuals outside the building... It’s very inefficient.” The confidant was helpless; they wanted to protect, but the president was unwilling.

After all, they had been betrayed by undercover officers before.

”Damn it,” Chris cursed.

But things weren’t about to end there; the confidant then displayed a live stream, continuing, ”Police Chief, additionally, the Deception Group has started this live stream; they seem to be planning to execute the president of the Sages Group publicly like before.”

”How dare they!” Even though he was new, Chris understood the seriousness of the situation and started to panic, ”Quick, shut down this live stream.”

The confidant replied helplessly, ”I already had the police’s White Hat attempt it, but he said... the live stream is protected by hackers, and he simply can’t shut it down. Contacting the officials of Pili Pili was useless too, rather, many people have received notifications about it.”

”Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Chris grew more anxious.

”I sent the information to you privately, didn’t you see it...?” The confidant felt wronged; he didn’t want to say it openly as it might be discouraging, and delivering privately, Chris didn’t check or catch his hint.

”Boom—” The bombing sounds in the distance continued, indicating that it would definitely be a wild night.

”Police Chief Chris, there’s another matter.” Another confidant hesitated but still spoke up, ”The ’Torch’ religious group from the First District has reached the Thirteenth District. They are demonstrating near the Seges Building, but the situation... the local security services are losing control.”

For a moment, Chris felt breathless.

He was indeed among the elite, but with so many major incidents occurring as soon as he took over, he felt overwhelmed.

Before him, a massive street battle involving the use of large-scale weapons like laser cannons and electromagnetic guns was unfolding; who knows how many would die.

In the distance, the Deception Group had also joined in, kidnapping the president of the Sages Group in a swift move.

Plus, the religious organization ”Torch” from the First District had started to protest...

Watching Chris’s dark expression, Wolf couldn’t help but smile.

It wasn’t that he thought the chaos in the Thirteenth District was good; he often dealt with such turmoil here, having experienced similar events before, but today it just happened to coincide.

This was a normal situation for the Thirteenth District.

So, he smiled slightly and thought to himself,

”Welcome to the Thirteenth District, Police Chief Chris.”
