I'm a villain, not a devil

Chapter 543 It’s Not Easy to Be a City Lord

"Boom - boom -"

The violent shaking caused all the surrounding buildings to become distorted, whether they were low tents or towering buildings.

Illya, who was surveying the intensity of the surrounding energy, immediately grabbed the nearest pillar to avoid falling to the ground.

The staff members who came with the new mayor of Paradise City also made the same movements. The countless buildings were shaking in unison, which was extremely terrifying, and it seemed that the huge floor was about to collapse at the next moment. However, neither Illya nor the other staff members had any other expressions.

The shaking happened three times and lasted less than fifteen seconds in total, and then everything returned to calm.

After looking up at the sky and making sure that the shaking would not continue, Illya let go of the pillar she was holding and continued her previous work.

Having become the new lord of Paradise City inexplicably, Illya spent the first few days in fear and confusion. However, after a period of learning, she was at least able to act like a lord in front of others.

Moreover, the people in the City Lord's Mansion now are basically appointed by Mr. Sean. Just like he once told me, I just need to not let him down.

No one questioned her as the incompetent new city lord. Of course, this was also because most newcomers had no administrative skills, and the eldest brother just didn't laugh at the younger brother.

Illya kept in mind how she got her current identity, and now she is thinking from Sean's perspective in all her actions. She would report and ask questions if she had any problems. During this period, she also met Mr. Jin Kui, the boss of the Golden Ghost, and Mr. Sean's elder brother expressed his appreciation for her.

Knowing that she had done the right thing, Illya kept her pace and today she studied while checking the conditions of certain areas in the city.

As for that shake?

Damn, I'm used to it.

At first, the shaking of Paradise City made the residents here extremely panicked, and the alarm that never stopped made everyone's heart rise to their throat.

However, with the passage of time and the official explanation, everyone gradually became familiar with it.

As the city lord, Illya didn't know the reason for the strange shaking of the city. She just followed orders and sent people out, while constantly calming the emotions of residents inside and outside the city.

Moreover, although this shaking is extremely loud and terrifying, after it happens many times everyone realizes that - although it is scary, it actually does not cause any harm.

The scariest part of the whole shaking process is probably that you will be pulled as well, and if you are not careful you can easily fall to the ground, but as long as you hold on firmly when the shaking starts there will be no problem.

From once every three days in the beginning to three times a day two months later, people inside and outside Paradise City have become familiar with this situation, and many people even jokingly call it the characteristic landscape of Paradise City.

However, although the shaking of the city can be ignored for the time being, the signal for everyone to be on alert has never stopped. Illya, who is familiar with the position of the city lord, knows the importance of this.

She personally checks the energy detection equipment in various areas of the city every day, and also supervises the personnel on guard in every corner of the city.

Naturally, the best option would be if nothing happened, but if something did go wrong, Illya would at least ensure that the source of the problem would not be within her jurisdiction.

This is the "rules of conduct" that she has learned overtly and covertly during this period of time, and the sources are basically Mr. Sean's former personal guards.

Illya, mindful of her duties, checked the energy monitoring device nearby. After confirming it again and again, she ordered someone to send it to the intelligence department of the Golden Ghost, and then immediately rushed to the outskirts of the Titan beast.

Multiple observation platforms will extend from the outer steel walls. After the alarm signal is issued, the observation platforms will observe all situations near Paradise City 24 hours a day.

After checking the supervision situation of the five platforms in order, Illya came to the sixth observation platform. This platform was close to the gate of Paradise City. It could observe the situation on the avenue most intuitively, and could also observe the situation of the candidates outside the city.

After checking the administrative regulations one by one, Illya nodded and asked casually, "How are the candidates outside the city now?"

The observer replied, "Everything is normal. The candidates have gotten used to the shaking of Paradise City, so they are continuing to do their tasks as before. Oh, by the way, because of the new entry order, the number of candidates entering the city has increased by about 20%, and this number is still growing."

Illya nodded to indicate that she understood. The new entry order was issued by her based on the order of Boss Jin Kui, mainly to allow more candidates to enter the city in time.

Everything was fine. Illya was about to leave, but stopped at the door.

"By the way, how's Eliza doing lately?"

Eliza is her older sister and the leader of one of the largest groups among the candidate group.

"Oh, according to your instructions, we have given extra points to the people brought by Miss Eliza. In recent days... let me see," the staff member picked up a document and looked at it, "a total of 98 people entered the city, which is a lot."

Illya nodded. In fact, many people knew that she had opened a back door for Eliza, and this was also what she learned from Sean's personal guards - everyone has desires, and Sean will not continue to trust people without desires. Moreover, as a member of the ruling class and as someone trusted by him, privileges are something she deserves.

Everything seemed normal, so Illya was ready to turn around and leave, but not long after she walked out, she stopped.

Something is wrong...

Eliza frowned slightly, and some numbers popped up in her mind.

During this period of time, she has been learning continuously, but her abilities are there and most of the time she only plays a supervisory role, and she is aware of this.

However, she also made her own efforts, such as staying up all night to memorize some key data in case she knew nothing when asked by others.

Her sister Eliza's team has a strong appeal outside the city. In order to maintain her prestige in the team, Eliza, who was able to enter the city a long time ago, often gives her points to people in the team.

Now, with the entry order and her own backdoor, naturally the number of people her sister sends into the city is much more than before.

According to the efficiency of my sister's team in completing tasks, the number of ninety-eight is indeed about right. My own estimate is also around one hundred, but... after being "specially recruited" by Sean, I also left many of my accumulated points and items given by Sean to my sister. If I exchange them for qualifications, the number is not right...

Illya frowned. Her sister was not the type to save points and send many people in at once. Under normal efficiency, the number of people under her command entering the city should be more than one hundred and twenty.

This kind of data is also within the observation range, but the observers did not explain the situation to me...

Thinking of this, she turned around and walked in again.
