Chapter 1498: Chapter 488: The Conservatives Think the Radicals Are Too Conservative (2)

There was much discussion all around, but New Dynasty Elegance was not in a hurry to recruit followers; now was the time to lay the groundwork, and the congregation would not be developed overnight.

So he patiently explained the doctrines to anyone curious about him, but while explaining, he shifted from discourse on doctrines to interpreting policies. Fortunately, Lin Miao delivered reports to the people of the United States every two weeks on Voice of the Horizon about the transformation work in Detroit, tirelessly explaining policies repeatedly, so it wasn’t difficult for him to convey the concepts.

Anyone who came to him for help in resolving doubts was welcomed by New Dynasty Elegance.

As for why God had another son or why Jesus gained an older brother, such matters might be unusual in Atlanta, but amidst various Satanic sects and Moorish traditions, they were relatively human-like.

As a result, more and more people gathered, seriously impacting the surrounding shops’ customer flow.

Some missionaries or those with occult identities shot glances this way with flickering eyes.

Damn it... The foreign gangs are too rude; they dare to preach after crossing boundaries without paying respects to the local authorities.

Really tempting fate!

————

Leaving that religious expert alone in the car shouldn’t cause any problems....

Li De, seated in a shady bar within the black market, probed the bartender with casual remarks, yet remained anxious about New Dynasty Elegance’s safety.

After all, they weren’t long-term comrades; his collaborations with players had been very limited, so they weren’t familiar, leading to inevitable overthinking.

"How well do you know that companion? How capable is he?" 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Cybercles: "Which one are you talking about?"

"New Dynasty Elegance."

The name was really odd to pronounce; Li De didn’t understand its meaning.

"Not very familiar though, meow. I only know he’s on good terms with Brother Ni and is quite popular in the Valentino Gang. But when he fights, he’s pretty fierce; he often grabs a sword gun and Bible Meteor Hammer and rushes in to slash people, so everyone calls him the Roman Father."

"Right, I remember once I asked him why he learned these things, and he said anyway, idle moments could be used to learn a bit and deceive candy from the church."

"....."

Ah, Roman Father indeed!

Li De tried to construct the scene described in his mind, but couldn’t imagine it no matter how hard he tried, his temple throbbing painfully.

This group of Horizon Mercenaries is one abstract after another.

Li De really thought that guy was a devoted believer; truly, these people cannot be viewed as normal. He could only steer the topic back to the main issue.

"Did you find any related information online?"

"No, meow."

Jackal in Cyberspace was striving to process the vast amounts of data, hoping to find traces of nuclear transaction clues. But strangely, the entire Atlanta local network was calm, all data exchanges appearing compliant and legitimate, pure as a small white flower compared to Night City.

To avoid startling the prey, Jackal refrained from attempting deeper into the company data fortresses.

"I think you’d better act quickly."

Hiding on a rooftop and overseeing Jackal, Cybercles watched as the surveillance system he erected was being systematically destroyed, with even some deeply hidden robots being discovered.

"Someone’s got eyes on us; there are informants everywhere."

"Such aimless searches are too slow, meow. Could you provide some keywords?"

Li De likewise didn’t find any effective clues at this black market; even the largest arms smugglers only sold a few armored vehicles, unmatched against Night City, let alone touching super-scale weapons like nuclear bombs.

Although the Intelligence Bureau once had the idea to probe Atlanta, New America wasn’t as influential as it was then; many agents dispatched either found nothing or suddenly disappeared, life or death unknown.

Life or death unknown, meaning they died.

So, not much intelligence about Atlanta has been released.

He closed his eyes to contemplate, and after several seconds, suddenly opened them and told Jackal:

"Investigate abnormal material flows, such as food and freshwater, especially those high-quality organic foods heading out of the city."

"Got it."

To say the least, old agents are sharp; with Li De’s direction, Jackal quickly found some leads within a series of border inspection data.

"Hmm...Got it!"

Within almost two minutes, Jackal retrieved nearly a whole year’s recorded organic food flow data for Atlanta, and promptly discovered discrepancies upon comparison.

"Every month on the seventh, a batch of high-end organic foods cultivated in biotechnology greenhouses is delivered to Saint Simmons, consistently stable in quantity for decades, but strangely there is no income for this batch of organic foods, no taxes either."

Saint Simmons... a coastal abandoned peninsula tourist town in Georgia.

Li De marked a red circle on the map, then said:

"Alright, you guys should retreat and shake off the trackers. Await further instructions after my notice."

"Got it."

Jackal exited Cyberspace, and Cybercles summoned back the smart defense systems surrounding them; amid a distortion of light, they vanished into the air.

Shortly after, a group of individuals kicked the door from below and rushed hasty to the rooftop, but by then, it was empty, only the rushing wind remained.
