The next day, in the morning.

Still in the mayor's office.

However, compared to two days ago, the atmosphere in the office was much heavier.

The participants in the meeting also changed from three to two.

Just last night, Police Chief James Morris was on the way to the police station in a carriage, and together with the groom, they were bombed directly into the sky by explosives thrown by mafia members.

Rorschach arrived at the scene and saw only the carriage that was blown into pieces and two corpses that were bloody.

Therefore, Lemieu, who was afraid that he would end up with the same fate, arrived at the city hall under the protection of the police, and immediately found Rorschach.

In his opinion, the only one who can trust now is this young mayor with many subordinates.

It can be seen that the mayor was like a frightened bird, his eyes under his golden glasses were filled with panic and uneasiness.

Even the handkerchief that I changed every day on my left chest pocket of the suit is too late to change today...

I saw him pace back and forth in the office, as anxious as an ant on a hot pan:

"Oh, my God..."

"How dare those bastards...how dare..."

"Roass, Mr. Morris was blown to death by those bastards, will we..."

Meeting Lemieu's panicked look that longed for an answer, Rorschach, who was sitting on the sofa, had his expression unchanged at all, but he just spoke indifferently and comforted:

"Henry, let it go, everything is still under control!"

Indeed, the Mafia bombed Director Morris into the sky, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

However, in Rorschach's view, this exposed the weakness of the mafia.

This is enough to prove that they can no longer think of other ways, and they can only use this crazy way to make the final struggle...

Looking at Rorschach's calm and composed appearance, Lemieu seemed to have found the backbone, and his anxious mood eased a lot.

He came to the sofa and sat down, and asked quickly, "What should we do next? Do we have to agree to their conditions?"

"impossible!"

Rorschach's words were filled with unquestionable: "The balance of victory has tilted towards us. Now the truce is undoubtedly giving in to victory!"

Hearing this, Lemieu nodded, expressed his understanding, and then continued to ask, "What should we do?"

Rorschach, who had started to make the next plan last night, blurted out:

"First of all, we should immediately publicly mourn in the newspaper and praise Director Morris for his sacrifices for the safety of the city. Only in this way can we emphasize our tough attitude of not compromising with criminals, and the city's law enforcement officers and people will continue to support us."

"Then, you must appoint a new director. This director must be stronger than Mr. Morris! Our war with the Mafia is endless, and we must completely send these illegal people to the gallows!"

At this moment, Lemieu, who had no idea, had already placed his hope on the black-haired young man in front of him.

He nodded repeatedly and agreed:

"You are right. Let me give you the right to be the deputy mayor and I will be fully responsible for this matter."

The St. Denis Municipal Government adopts a mayoral system, although it is supervised by the City Council. However, as Chief Executive, Lemieu's appointment of any government official does not require the approval of the City Council.

In other words, appointing Roxa as deputy mayor is just a matter of his words.

As soon as these words came out, Roxar was a little stunned.

He didn't expect that his town mayor had been working for two months, and someone had asked him to be the deputy mayor again.

Such a promotion speed is like a heifer taking a plane - it's so awesome!

If this continues, will he have the opportunity to run for the governor of New Hanover, or even go further?

With his age and capital, he has been in the American political circle for 20 or 30 years and he can really become the number one in the United States.

At that time, we will directly carry out drastic reforms to let the red flag fly above the White House?

The key is that he doesn't have that much time and doesn't have that interest.

Pulling back the thoughts of Piaoyuan, Rorschach nodded, and did not refuse this proposal that was beneficial and harmless:

"It's my honor. I will resolve this matter as soon as possible, to bring security and order back to St. Denis again!"

He reached out and patted Rorschach on the shoulder. There was only a strong sense of trust and hope in Lemieu's eyes:

"It's all up to you..."

"Don't worry, things will settle soon..."

...

At noon, the mayor's office sent an invitation to the major newspapers again and held a press conference in the news hall of the city hall.

Mayor Lemieu and Rorschach attended the press conference.

Lemieu first mourned and praised the police chief who had just passed away in front of many reporters.

Then, in full view of everyone, he announced the appointment of Rochelle Ross as deputy mayor, fully responsible for the case.

This decision immediately made everyone present look surprised.

The reporters immediately recorded the explosive news on the small notebook with the pen in their hands.

Many reporters raised their hands to ask questions:

"Mr. Mayor, is your decision a bit rash?"

"I want to know what this Mr. Arnose does..."

At the press conference, Roxa, who had just taken office, suddenly stood up, pressed his hands down, and said aloud:

"The question and answer session is not yet here, so be quiet first!"

A sharp gaze as sharp as an eagle swept through the hall.

Cooperating with the fierce look of the police and temporary law enforcement officers around, the originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your cooperation."

Next, Rorschach strongly condemned the mafia's blatant violation of the law and murder of government officials.

Then, the glorious results of the current combat against the mafia forces were announced.

Finally, he patted his chest and assured the reporters and the vast majority of St. Dennis that the riot would end soon.

Mayor Lemieu's governing style is to be nice, a gentleman, but to put it badly, it is to be weak and bullied.

In contrast, Roxar's decisive style of dealing with things has made everyone feel full of security.

Even his handsome face is very young...

The reporters present immediately had a lot of affection for the mysterious and young deputy mayor.

During the questioning session, Rorschach only accepted three questions and announced the end of the press conference.

After the press conference, Rorschach went to the police station without stopping and appointed a prestigious old police officer to serve as the new director.

The police officer, named "Abel Wallace", is a veteran who participated in the Civil War.

After retiring, he worked as a police officer in St. Dennis.

He had two sons, one serving in the army.

The other, like him, is also a policeman at the St. Denis Police Department.

However, just a few days ago, his son lost his life in a gunfight with the mafia...

This is why Rorschach chose him.

The strong desire for revenge will make the new director his most determined supporter!
