Blackstone Code-Chapter 220:

The fact proved that Lynch was the kind of person who was true to his words. On the third day after Uncle Tom was arrested, Lynch visited him and informed him that he had hired a very capable lawyer to help the workers win their case.

This immediately elevated Lynch's image among the workers. Being Nail's son, he was considered one of their own. In their current state of fear and anxiety, Lynch's appearance undoubtedly gave them a sense of reliance.

"There has never been an easy victory; justice is not written with petals. We must resist and persevere..." Lynch's face was filled with determination. His voice was heavy, but within that weight, there was a courage and strength that could break through anything.

At this moment, Lynch was not alone; countless pioneers stood with him. The arrested workers felt something unprecedented—they were ready to fight the wicked factory owners to the end.

After comforting and encouraging a large group of detained workers, Lynch left under Adam's complex gaze.

Through negotiation, Adam was hired by Lynch for a monthly salary of 2,200 bucks to become the legal advisor for the Interstellar Trading Company. This was his first case in this role.

Before coming, he was well aware that Lynch's purpose in encouraging these people and sending him here to provide legal aid to the workers and represent them in the lawsuit was to drag the lawsuit out until the plaintiff went bankrupt.

As long as they could delay the case, the court and the bank wouldn't be able to auction off their houses to compensate the factory owner's losses. Meanwhile, the Interstellar Trading Company's case would be concluded sooner, giving them priority in handling the assets. The houses and assets would be auctioned off cheaply and flow into Lynch's hands through judicial auctions.

What awaited the plaintiff was only bankruptcy. His assets, factory, everything would become Lynch's, including the detained goods worth millions, which were now worthless—all Lynch's.

In just less than 300,000 bucks he spent, he swallowed up the assets of a group of people, everything a capitalist owned, and so many goods.

Adam felt that Lynch was not just a handsome and outstanding young man; he was a devil disguised in a way that made people let down their guard.

The people thanking Lynch might never know that everything they owned would be taken by him.

Actually, Adam thought too much. How much money could be made by looting these workers' worthless possessions?

To put it bluntly, these workers' combined possessions weren't even worth Lynch's attention, including their houses. Those houses in the lower-income areas weren't as valuable as a doghouse in the affluent areas.

What Lynch wanted was the factory and some hard-working workers. Even if treated poorly, they would grit their teeth and persevere because their houses belonged to Lynch and they owed Lynch a large amount of money and an unrepayable favor.

These were far more valuable than the little money squeezed from them. So, despite Adam's considerable knowledge of contracts and business, he couldn't become a capitalist because he didn't understand the true meaning of value.

On December 15th, due to the impact of the general strike, the amateur preseason rugby league, which was supposed to be held in November, officially began. Because the schedule was compressed, the upcoming matches were very intensive, testing each team's bench depth and stamina management.

"The weather is nice today. I wonder if the game will be as good as the weather." After finishing his speech at the opening ceremony, the mayor returned to the stands and said this to Lynch.

The influence of the general strike hadn't completely dissipated yet. Despite the strike's quick start and end, its destructive and influential power was significant.

Sports would not only instil a fighting spirit in people but also provide a way for people to release their mental stress.

Lynch smiled, "I think it should be."

The mayor's face also showed more smiles. He personally attended the match, bringing along some social celebrities to join the fun. It would be fine if the team won; if they lost, it would be embarrassing.

Actually, he didn't plan to come himself. He intended to send a representative, but eventually, he decided to appear to "enjoy the game with the people." 𝔯А𝐍ƟβƐS

Always being aloof wasn't the right way to govern. Occasionally getting close to the public could make his image more lively. The mayor understood this well. Judging by the reactions of the ordinary people who came to watch the game, they were very surprised.

Sharing the same hobbies and supporting the same team as the mayor was a fresh and proud experience for many spectators.

As the whistle blew, people's attention turned to the field, and soon they had a pleasant discovery.

Compared to the away team, which seemed not to have found their rhythm yet, the players of the local Sabin team quickly got into the game. Their high-speed and efficient execution brought the game to a climax right from the start.

The commentator's voice never lowered, and the head coach on the sidelines had a lot more smiles on his face. He proved his capability and methods were correct. Next, it was time to fight their way into the professional league.

The process and result of the game were within people's acceptable range and were a great surprise. In the second half, even the main players of the opposing team started to avoid the fight.

When they held the rugby ball and faced several opponents simultaneously chasing them, they immediately passed the ball to avoid these seemingly crazed collisions.

In the end, the big victory and the coach's smile became the front-page headline of the Sabin Daily the next day—"After Five Years, We Set Sail Again."

The entire Sabin city, from the homeless people gradually being released to people like the mayor, were discussing this big win.

The originally somewhat quiet city suddenly became lively due to a rugby game. Discussing the game seemed to become a fashionable thing, and Lynch and his Interstellar Trading Company also became topics of discussion.

Some even wanted to invest in the club to share the benefits, but Lynch certainly wouldn't agree.

On this same day, the investigation into the Listoan Group was about to conclude. The investigation team hadn't found much valuable information.

The Listoan Group employed some of the best people in the federation. They knew how to make everything look ordinary, including their books.

The investigation team's move to pack up and leave made everyone in the company breathe a sigh of relief. This meant the end of the investigation and the beginning of a new life.

Behind the scenes, the governor of the neighboring state and some conservatives played a significant role. It wasn't that Listoan had no flaws, but the pressure to continue the investigation was too great.

When people discovered one problem, there were actually more underlying issues that led to it. For instance, some accounts related to Listoan's businesses indirectly proved that Listoan's books were "doctored."

To fully investigate, they needed to check too many things, but they didn't have a suitable reason to detain the entire group and prevent them from relocating. Plus, with the neighboring state's governor's statement, many issues couldn't be resolved in a short time without solid evidence, so they had to let go.

Though the investigators were unwilling, they had no choice. They hadn't found any concrete evidence after all.

But at this moment, a fashionable girl with sunglasses walked into the investigation team's independent office.

She was a very stylish and beautiful girl with long blonde hair and a captivating figure. More importantly, she was very pretty and young. When she took off her glasses, the light in the office seemed to brighten because of her looks.

"Is there anything I can help you with, miss?" The investigator serving her poured a cup of coffee for her, a treatment others didn't get.

The girl didn't pick up the coffee. She just looked at the investigator sitting opposite her and said softly, "I have something you want..."

Then, to the investigator's shock, the girl stood up, casually unfastened her belt, took off her clothes, and exposed her naked body.

The investigator was so stunned that he stood up immediately. After recovering from his shock, he quickly called the head of the investigation team.

Inside the Listoan Group's office building, the head of the investigation team faced Neo with a cold expression. Neo's sarcastic remarks made him want to punch the man in the face.

But he held back, knowing that if he did, his career would be over. These capitalists were best at using their money to turn things upside down. He had to endure it.

At that moment, his assistant hurried into the office, walked quickly to the investigation team leader's side, and excitedly whispered something in his ear.

After more than twenty seconds, the corners of the investigation team leader's mouth couldn't help but turn up. The curve got deeper, and finally, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Mr. Neo, it seems this battle is far from over..." After laughing for a while, he restrained his laughter. "I am officially notifying you that you are prohibited from leaving Sabin City. A court order will follow soon."Please vote for this novel at /series/blackstone-code/There are advance chapters available nowAccess will be granted 24 hours after the donationTier 1: 7 Advance chapters Link
