Chapter 28: The Society of Benevolence
"You're saying that someone has formed a force under my banner? That's impossible!
They didn't even know that the proving ground was mine! β
Oakes frowned, he often went to the small rainforest, although he was only collecting experimental data, but there was no reason why he couldn't find out about any social organization over there.
"This ......"
Coulson and Melinda looked at each other and saw the seriousness of the matter in each other's eyes.
"So...... If this weren't the forces you've formed, Dr. Lin, then this matter would have become troublesome. β
Melinda shrugged, there were a lot of surprises today.
"Just call me Oakes."
Oakes waved his hand, thought about it carefully, and then said uncertainly:
"Could it be...... Their leader, a strong Latino man with a crippled left leg? β
"yes, did you think of anything?"
Coulson's eyes lit up:
"As far as we know, this group is called the 'Rende Society', and their leader is called Blaise Clarke, a former mercenary, but after being disabled on the battlefield, he was exiled to the slums to earn a living......"
"Wait, wait!"
Oakes almost didn't spit out a word of "":
"What did you say that organization was called?"
"Rendehui, Mr. Oakes."
ββ¦β¦β
Oakes clutched his forehead, a headache.
This well-known extremist organization...... This has absolutely nothing to do with a dime of your own money!
"Did they do anything extreme?"
"Well, apart from extreme xenophobia, there are no signs of violent crime for the time being."
Coulson looked at Oakes with a strange look on his face from the time he heard the name, and he couldn't help but be a little worried:
"Are you alright, Mr. Oakes? This organization ......"
"I think I should go and meet the leader of this organization."
Oakes spoke suddenly, but he still maintained a strange state of covering his forehead, which made Coulson and Melinda want to laugh a little:
"So you remember the relationship between this organization and you?"
Looking at his current appearance, to say that Rende would have nothing to do with him at all, Coulson dared to immediately hug Melinda and dance.
"It's the beginning and end of my relenting heart."
Oakes put down the hand covering his forehead, and in a short time, he had already made a decision:
"I didn't lead it, but since it started because of me, I have to take responsibility."
Coulson and Melinda smiled when they heard him say this.
Oakes' attitude shows that he is a responsible person, and such a person is undoubtedly among people with special abilities, extremely rare and beneficial to society.
"May you ask what's going on?"
Coulson is still curious, and this is also related to his mission report:
"According to our investigation, this group is simply extremely xenophobic, and they don't allow anyone who doesn't trust to enter their sphere of influence, which is around your ecological testing groundβ
Of course, we can all understand the reason, and in order to investigate this matter, one of our excellent social agents was even hospitalized -
The methods of the people over there to protect secrets are a bit extreme, so I just said before that this may affect the results of our assessment of you. β
"Then come along."
Oakes sighed:
"The ecological test site, which I call 'Little Rainforest', originally served its purpose half a year ago, and I have collected enough data."
Standing up, Oakes took a long trench coat on the hanger:
"But by that time, this wonderful order of the ghetto was close to taking shape...... So I didn't close the place.
Originally, I thought it would at least help some people, but now it seems that it has caused a lot of trouble. β
Oakes put on a long trench coat, and his face became indifferent:
"If I find out, that organization is really idle and has done something illegal......"
Looking at Coulson and Melinda, Oakes smiled coldly:
"What I can give them, I can naturally get them back, and I have to pay interest."
"Mr. Oakes, you can't lynch you."
Coulson also stood up, and although he also wanted to see how far Oakes could go, it was clearly not in accordance with the rules:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Oakes, but if there's a problem, we'll take care of it."
"I'll drive, Coulson, you'd better communicate all the information about that Rende Society to Oakes."
Melinda took Laura's car keys out of Coulson's pocket and smiled:
"It's an ecological miracle over there in the small rainforest, and the other ecological parks are weak...... If it can be preserved, it will probably be a good thing for both the people and the order in the slums. β
"Thanks, Ms. May, I'll think about it."
The relationship between the agent and the person under investigation, who had been somewhat nervous, was unexpectedly alleviated, as can be seen from the names they call each other, which makes Coulson and Melinda both surprised and happy.
Melinda, the old driver, drove herself, scaring stupidly how many hip-hop people and drag race parties along the way, and when they parked, they were already next to the small rainforest.
"What are you guys doing?"
As soon as Oakes got out of the car, several fierce black men rushed over:
"Outsiders are not welcome here! Leave now, or don't blame us for being unkind! β
"We are government agencies."
Coulson naturally won't explain to them what is called the Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency, they are not qualified enough:
"We want to see your leader."
"Chief?"
The leading black man smiled contemptuously:
"The government's garbage will also care about the affairs of the slums?
We just gathered spontaneously, what kind of leader, do you think Lao Tzu looks like a leader? Hahaha! β
Several big black men burst out laughing as if they had heard something funny.
"No leader? So what is this little brother going to do? β
Melinda didn't know when she appeared behind the group.
There was a scream, and the black men turned back sharply, and saw a young black guy being controlled by Melinda's backcut hands.
"Damn it, let go of Little Jack, you bitch!"
"Hey! You're in big trouble! I dare say you can't get out of this street! β
"Someone else to report the news!"
The black men were noisy, but they didn't rush up like the other neighborhoods.
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they don't dare.
Because Coulson was wiping his pistol with a silk scarf.
"Enough!"
There was not much noise, but it seemed to trigger a low cheer that resonated with the surrounding environment, and the poor man who was about to report the news stopped.
Oakes put one hand in his pocket, and the other pointed to the small rainforest surrounded by a fence:
"Go and call Blaise Clark to come and see me.
I can create this little rainforest, and I can take it backβ
If you're ready for the winter, you can ignore me. β
