Chapter 945: A Federation Person Died

~16 min read 3,108 words

Ted stood on the balcony looking at the streets that were gradually becoming chaotic in the city, and no strange expression appeared on his face.

He came from the Federation; in the Federation, he was just an "ordinary person".

He didn't have any special identity, nor did he have any prominent background, but he always felt... this era owed him.

If he changed an environment, or changed an era, he would definitely be able to become an amazing person; he firmly believed in this point!

When he was in the Federation, he would rent his work card to the Federation's largest "work card agency", which was Lanse's labor introduction agency.

Every month he could obtain an income of about sixty-something dollars from the work card he rented out—

With the federal government's tax reform, now those with an income of less than one hundred need to pay taxes, so the scope of application of work cards has become wider.

One work card can solve the work problems of three or four people, or four or five people at the same time.

And this also made Federation people increasingly dissatisfied with the environment they lived in.

Too many outsiders, stowaways, and refugees flooded into their cities, competing with them for jobs, and there were also people specially helping them "legally" plunder the jobs that should have belonged to the natives.

So now quite a few people live by renting out their work cards; anyway, they don't need to do anything, and there is a stable income every month. Is there anything more refreshing than this?

Of course, they also need to bear the obligation of paying taxes.

Like Ted, he could get a "rent" of about sixty dollars every month, but he needed to pay more than twenty dollars in taxes, and what he could actually get in his hands was only thirty-something dollars.

With these thirty-something dollars in the Federation, it was very difficult for him to live happily.

But in Lapa, he was like a king high above!

He was already thirty-seven years old and hadn't gotten married yet; he found it very difficult to find a suitable girlfriend.

He didn't like the older ones, and those he liked didn't like him.

After a burst of "awakening", he decided to come to Lapa to venture.

Mainly because he heard that the cost of living here was very low, and life was very fulfilling.

The facts were indeed so.

A dozen or so dollars could let a seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen-year-old girl serve him like God. During the day, she would lead him to play everywhere, and at night, she would also take good care of his brothers, and he didn't need to pay much for this.

The remaining dozen or so federal Sol also had sufficient consumption power here. He spent two dollars to rent a house, and the rest was enjoying an almost perfect life every day.

Eating, drinking, and having fun, he didn't need to work, and if he didn't like it, he could replace it with a new companion anytime and anywhere.

There was no place more suitable for him than here.

Besides this, there was one more point, which was also the point he felt was the best.

That was that the locals would respect him very much!

They all regarded foreigners as God. This city might not be as safe as it looked during the day for some locals.

But for Federation people, this place was absolutely safe.

Whether it was the police or those ordinary people, they all had an inexplicable fear, which made him feel very refreshing!

In the Federation, he was a person under others who was not valued, but in Lapa, although he was still poor, he became a person above others.

He finally felt some "glory" as a Federation person!

This period of time, Lapa became chaotic, even the capital Zhuolan became chaotic.

Robbery, theft, and smashing shops happened from time to time.

However, he wasn't afraid at all. Those criminals would take the initiative to avoid him after seeing his white skin!

Not to mention that now he hung the federal flag outside the house he rented, and he used this way to tell everyone that the person living here was a person above others from the Federation.

"Dear...", a hot body hugged him tightly from behind. He could feel the softest touch of the girl's skin. The girl wasn't wearing clothes, just sticking to him like this.

The lust naturally radiating from the girl's body cells from inside to outside was eroding his reason. If it weren't for the fact that his waist was a bit sore now, perhaps he could have another round with the girl here.

"What are you looking at?", the girl asked.

Eighteen years old, the best age. She didn't feel that what she was doing was shameful, or could be said to be pathetic.

Everyone has the basic right to pursue a better life, and her body is her own. How she wants to use it doesn't need to get the consent of any other person.

Ted turned around and hugged the girl, taking a deep breath at her neck. The fragrance naturally radiating from her body, accompanied by the smell of shower gel and shampoo, could really penetrate into a person's body, and even into the soul!

"I'm just looking at the situation outside; the streets are becoming more and more chaotic now."

Speaking of this matter, there was also a look of horror on the girl's face.

Ted let go of the girl. He didn't look like that now; after too many times, he had some inexplicable fear.

He wasn't a seventeen or twenty-seven-year-old young man anymore; he was thirty-seven years old. He was already old, and he couldn't stand it a bit.

"We'll go out for a turn today; I haven't been to that temple you mentioned."

The girl was a bit worried, "But it's a bit chaotic outside now."

Ted didn't care at all and walked toward the bathroom. He needed to take a shower and then change into new clothes.

"Don't worry!"

"I am a Federation person; those idiots, if their eyes haven't fallen to the ground, they know what they should do."

He stood at the door of the bathroom and turned his head to look at the girl, "They will avoid us, instead of me avoiding them!"

Ted's words made the girl settle down a bit. She sincerely felt the importance of the foreigner identity.

Thinking of this, she also walked toward the bathroom. They still had a lot of time.

She tied up her hair, "How did you consider the matter I told you last time?"

"What matter?", Ted looked at the girl in the bathroom.

The girl walked in front of him and squatted down, looking up at him across his brother, "The matter of taking me to the Federation."

Ted just prepared to say consider it again, when he suddenly closed his eyes and took a cold breath. Just at that moment, he felt his soul had been sucked away.

The shower water fell with a patter. After more than ten minutes, he walked out of the bathroom somewhat annoyed.

In the midst of lust, he promised the girl to take her to the Federation.

However, he soon became relieved. In a few days, he would find a chance to dump this girl.

Go to the Federation?

Come on!

This is just a bitch; who knows how many men she has had before him, and how many similar things she has done?

Others are not willing to take her away, why should he take her away?

He can completely find a better one!

With a decision, there was no burden in his heart. He became more active and proactive in his perfunctory manner, and even talked about taking the girl to see his parents and such.

This made the girl sure that she had grasped this Federation man!

The two dressed up and left the house. Just before they were about to go out, their neighbor even warned them.

"It's very chaotic outside now, you'd better... wait until the situation stabilizes before leaving here."

Ted said a "thank you", but didn't take the neighbor's words to heart, and left with the girl without looking back.

He is a Federation person.

Even the officials here have to let him, let alone those street punks.

He took the girl to the temple they agreed on first, a scenic spot.

This place used to be an important religious ritual place for local religion. They sacrificed lives to their gods here.

But with the progress of world civilization and the rise of tribes, this kind of barbaric sacrificial activity stopped.

It was mainly in the struggle between political power and divine power, where political power won.

The temple is not big; inside are mainly some murals and some leftover utensils, which can be considered a very important and historical "historical trace" in Zhuolan.

After turning around the temple, Ted felt that it wasn't as fun as he imagined. He took the girl and returned to the city.

"I'm a bit hungry.", he said.

The girl thought for a while, "I know a restaurant with good taste; perhaps you can try it, and their charge is not high."

Ted looked at her, and she explained, "About fifty Para per person."

Adding up, it was only a dollar or so, a dollar thirty or forty. This indeed wasn't much.

You know, in those relatively famous restaurants in the Federation, you couldn't sit down without paying twenty or thirty, and sometimes you might need fifty or sixty, seventy or eighty. Ted, who had been poor for a long time, waved his hand, "Just go to this place!"

This feeling of "spending money like dirt" made him feel a bit floating. He felt that he should talk to the labor introduction agency to see if he could rent his work card to more illegal immigrants.

The money he has now is still too little, and it cannot fully support his extravagant life here.

As for the girl who has been begging to return to the Federation?

Go back to do what?

Go back to be a poor person?

He would rather die than return to the Federation!

The two soon arrived at the restaurant the girl mentioned. Looking at the cold appearance here, Ted frowned, "This place doesn't seem as good as you said!"

The girl explained hurriedly, "Usually there are many people, and you need to make an appointment. It might be because the city is a bit chaotic recently, so..."

Ted didn't go to study the reason for this, "Okay, try it first, perhaps the taste is indeed good?"

The two entered the restaurant, and the manager entertained them.

It has to be said that the restaurant the girl recommended is indeed good, with a lot of Lapa local characteristics and style, and he ate some food Ted hadn't eaten before.

After the meal, the manager came to settle the bill with the bill. It was only one hundred and twenty-something dollars in total. He gave one hundred and thirty dollars, and the rest counted as tips.

He also commented a few words, and the manager accepted them all humbly.

Being able to serve foreigners is definitely not a bad thing for Lapa people now.

After the two walked out of the restaurant, they didn't return immediately, but turned around the commercial street.

What they didn't know was that two young people had already targeted them.

Just now when Ted took out his wallet, he didn't cover it. He raised his hand and opened the wallet, exposing the money inside.

The two young people passing by saw the thick stack of banknotes in the wallet, and the devil-like thoughts started to grow uncontrollably in their hearts!

Although they didn't determine that they must do something, they just followed him, perhaps to see if there were any cheap things to take advantage of.

"He is old enough to be that girl's father."

One of the young people said this when watching Ted's hand touching the girl's waist and butt messily.

There was some resentment in his tone.

The other young person also had a feeling of dissatisfaction in his heart, "These damn foreigners!"

That young and beautiful girl was obviously not in an ordinary relationship with this foreigner, which also made them a bit depressed.

Young people are always like this; they love and hate clearly. They will have a set of values that are not necessarily the same as the way the world operates.

Perhaps in the eyes of adults, the girl's approach is impeccable; she just wants a better life.

But in the eyes of young people, this is a kind of humiliation!

National, national, the entire society.

In this process, they saw Ted's wallet and the banknotes inside more than once.

The two young people didn't say anything, but they had already determined some of their own thoughts through each other's gazes.

They planned to rob Ted.

After wandering outside for more than an hour, Ted was finally a bit tired.

"Dear, let's go back?"

The girl naturally wouldn't refuse; she was still counting on Ted to take her to the Federation!

"Of course, dear!"

The two started to walk in the direction of the house they rented. When they walked a distance from the commercial street and the pedestrians and vehicles on the street significantly decreased.

The two young people looked at each other, and one of them took out a long dagger from his pocket and chased after them.

Perhaps it was because he heard the footsteps chasing tightly behind him, Ted even turned his head and glanced.

When he saw two young people staring at him tightly and running toward him, his heart suddenly tightened, and a huge pressure was born out of thin air, but soon, this pressure was gone.

If this were in the Federation, he definitely wouldn't resist, and would actively cooperate.

But this is in Lapa, a place where a foreigner is a person above others!

He didn't run away or do anything else to reduce the danger, but stopped instead, turned around and looked at the two young people rushing toward him.

This also made the two young people stunned for a moment.

Their footsteps paused, as if they didn't realize that this target would do this.

And their pause gave Ted a very special "sense of security", a sense of security that only foreigners could possess!

"I don't know what you want to do, but I'll remind you one thing, I am a Federation person!"

He raised his head slightly. He liked this feeling. From a social underclass to a person above others, he finally understood why those rich people and masters always liked to talk about their identity, because it was indeed refreshing!

Looking at the two young people who had completely stopped, a trace of mockery appeared on his face, "If I were you, I would turn around and leave immediately now, otherwise you will cause yourself big trouble!"

The two young people looked at each other, and saw something in each other's eyes.

Their gazes also changed greatly at this moment, and they all became fierce.

They chased two steps again, and one of them even took out the dagger in his pocket, "Give me your wallet!"

Ted was a bit nervous at this time, but only a bit. His gaze stayed on these two young people's faces for a moment, "You haven't figured out the situation, right?"

"You are trying to rob a Federation person?"

"Who gave you the courage to do this?"

"Fuck!"

He even tried to use his hand to grab the dagger in the young man's hand as he spoke. He seemed to have determined that these people didn't dare to do anything to him.

Perhaps it was this action of his that angered the young man, perhaps it was his attitude when facing the threat that angered these two young people.

In the process of fighting for the dagger, the young man gritted his teeth. Originally there was a fire in his heart, and he directly stabbed the dagger into Ted's body.

At the moment the sharp weapon was inserted into his body, Ted was stunned.

He first looked fiercely at the young man in front of him, and then lowered his head to look at the dagger stabbed in his chest.

Fresh blood started to seep toward the surroundings from the place where it was stabbed. He could feel that hot heat flow constantly flowing.

Then he subconsciously reached out to grab the young man's neck. Perhaps it was because after this knife was stabbed out, the young man didn't find how much "deterrence" stabbing a foreigner could cause to himself.

His eyes were filled with fierceness and he stabbed a few more knives directly. In the girl's scream, Ted soon fell to the ground.

He occasionally took a deep breath like a deep breath. The power was completely lost from the wound. He started to open his mouth frequently, but it seemed he couldn't suck in much air.

The two young people stood in front of him for a while, and then immediately started searching his body.

His wallet, watch, belt, and even his leather shoes were stripped off by these two young people, and subsequently disappeared on the street quickly.

Until this moment, the girl remembered to call the police, or it could be said that she dared to call the police.

More than ten minutes later, three police cars arrived at the scene. When she called the police, she told the operator that the person attacked was a foreigner!

After the police arrived at the scene and checked Ted's situation simply, they shook their heads.

Obviously, he was already dead.

Two police officers walked to the girl's side and took out a notebook, "Tell us what happened."

The girl hugged her arms and squatted on the side of the road, narrating the things that just happened.

"A very ordinary robbery and murder case.", the police officer responsible for recording said so when writing the last period.

The girl raised her head violently, "This is not an ordinary robbery and murder case!"

"Open your eyes and look, that is a foreigner!"

The two police officers shook their heads slightly and didn't give her any new response.

Very quickly, the news that a federal person had been killed spread throughout the city...
