Number One Dungeon Supplier
chapter-1034

The Foxes had already started to discuss what needed to be done for the Demopolis Police Raids as the number one agenda on the list. From the manpower needed to do a proper cleanup to the possible destruction of the city.

Yet many agreed that the raids to catch the mafia bosses would not root out the core problem of the Demopolis society. From infrastructure to their ways of life, it had been deteriorating ever since Kiva had been manipulating King Baal. The distribution of wealth among the people had been very skewed towards the nobles and unless they intervened the nobles would undoubtedly continue to do so even after the cleanup.

In fact, a good part of the said nobles was sponsoring one or more of the mafias and they had relied on them for their protection. To the outsiders who did not know anything about the nitty-gritty of the plan, they thought it was King Rex's way of managing the filth in the city. But to Rex and the other foxes, cleaning up the mafias was merely an excuse to take control of the underworld so that those proponents of 'evil' could act as the guards, the middleman as well as the protector of the weak if needed.

Ever since their fights against the Royal Zodiacs in ancient times, they had come to appreciate the benefits of having unruly factions of society working for them. From the numerous beggars to the street side peddlers, the minor factions of the Panda Clan had been utilising their street information to outwit the Royal Zodiacs and as such, they believed there would be similar advantages to this city if they could control the underworld.

At first, it might sound like a silly plan, but because of the need to fortify their defences against the Royals for a possible attack after seeing the friend's fate (in reality he had already been resurrected by the System), the gang activities from other mafia groups had quickly decreased significantly within a few hours, indicating that their shady network was vast enough to learn about King Rex's possible motives. It also proved that there were indeed moles among them that had leaked the information.

Unlike the other parts of the city, the System had complete control of the Royal Palace and it had been able to identify the moles within the Home Guards as well as in the Palace Guards. However, instead of exposing them, Rex had placed them under intensive surveillance since such moles would usually lead them to the bigger fish and that was what they wanted.

Still, the moles had not been informed about what was going to happen, so they just thought that Rex was only hitting some Mafia affiliated locations as a show of power. Hence the Mafia Bosses though the same. Still, the increased activities gave the Night Foxes plenty of time to stalk their prey and monitor them while the Fox Bellators gathered for their meeting.

As this was one of the more major meetings ever since the inception of the Demopolis, the foxes had started to point out all the flaws they found out about the city. And in short, there was nothing great about it.

"How about we move the entire population to Pandapolis while we rebuild the city from bottom-up?" Evon asked as he felt the headache listing the number of flaws in the infrastructure and the progress of their society.

"Now you are feeling the pressure of managing the city, eh?" Itori smiled as she knew that it had been one of Evon's dreams back in the day to rule over a small town, or city. Back then he had felt that just becoming a clan leader would be boring, and thought of being a ruler had seemed 'cool'.

Although he just was put in charge of the science and research department he had had enough things to deal with. In his opinion, there were too many things that relied on magic. If not for the constant army raids for magic crystals, this city's heavy reliance on magic would most certainly shut down. Of course, some of the inventions had surprised him but many of the systems in place were very inefficient and replacing them step by step would be a headache too.

"I too feel that is a good idea. A proper replanning of the city would be ideal especially when the dungeon core still allowed a reset, well that is if Rex allowed it." Ixa said as she pointed out the terrible transportation systems and again the overreliance of magic to transport oneself to another place.

"We can ask Jin if that is possible since the Pandapolis is currently close and empty. That way we can be as destructive as possible so we can rebuild Demopolis so it can serve our needs better. Maintenance works in Pandapolis should be done soon too, I believe?" Ixel added since the workers had been interrupted a few times to aid in the defence of the Farming Worlds.

"From what I know from the System, the repair of the city is more or less complete. Just a few part replacements in several buildings and they should be fine. But even so, wouldn't reallocating be a hassle and a possible deviation from our plans?" Pei commented.

"It might not exactly be such a bad idea." Kraft who had so far just been listening in from the side started to think of such a possibility. "We could like you know, claim we are doing some gang cleanup and those who do not want to be implicated be evacuated. Of course compensation blah blah blah."

"Oh? That sounds like a decent idea. That way those who would stay should mostly be the ones guilty and well, old folks." Evon thought about it "And that will increase the gang activities when we announce it out loud so we can monitor them even more blatantly."

"Then what about those who support the gangs, but are not part of them?" Ixa queried and the consensus was that they deserved what was coming.

"Basically, it will be a warzone here. Anyone who would be caught in the crossfire will not be shown any mercy." Ixel replied. "Unlike in the old days, we don't have to worry too much about it though. The System could revive them, or we can leave it to this world if that might be a problem. However, if the System does it, we can claim to have rescued them, thereby increasing our public relations."

"Since when do you even think about public relations? That is so unlike you! Shouldn't I be the one that is worried about that?" Kiyu chuckled at the Ixel's unusual statement. "But you are not wrong. I believe the System can also release those 'people' if needed, right? I mean it cannot capture infinitely because at the rate we are going, we are gonna have a world full of needs to worry about. I don't even think Jin would even want that."

"Hah! Maybe Jin wanted that. Remember how he raved about having a world of virtual reality. He might need some old NPCs for their knowledge and stories. Could make a good side quest thing." Itori commented and the rest started laughing.

Why bother to a door to door fight against the Mafias when you can have an all out battle? Thus, the decision to relocate the people so they could rebuild Demopolis was starting to get a major consensus.
