Chapter 117 Untitled
Has the bureau found the hostage’s location?
After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon was startled for a moment, and then asked somewhat unwillingly:
"Director, the Holy Spirit of the Chengjin Cult was invited by the Masaini family. They have a very close relationship with the Chengjin Cult. It's a rare opportunity. Do you want to..."
"Stop! Stop it right there!"
Seeing that Leon actually had "ill intentions", the red-haired director couldn't help but shudder, and made a "STOP" gesture with his hands horizontally and vertically.
"Just save people this time! Don't worry about anything else! Especially those people from the Masaini family, the less contact you have with them, the better!"
After making a request to Leon, the red-haired chief reminded with a headache:
"You don't really think that the Ryan family incident is over, do you? You haven't even entered the review period yet, let alone the post-incident observation period. The investigators from the General Administration will arrive in the next few days.
If, after you have come into contact with the Masaini family, someone in their family gets into an accident, even if it's just someone choking to death while drinking water, the intensity of the scrutiny you will face will increase again!"
"..."
After experiencing the powerful effect of the gold-level [I am the Devil], Leon naturally became more eager for the Holy Spirit series badges, which have effects similar to the Devil series.
But just like the director said, the suspicion on me has not been completely cleared yet, so it would be better for me to be cautious recently to avoid arousing the suspicion of investigators and causing unnecessary trouble.
Anyway, the review will probably be completed in a week. The Chengjin Cult will not fall anytime soon, and the Masaini family will not be able to escape. At worst, we can just wait a week!
"I'll pay attention."
After listening to the red-haired chief's advice and promising not to mess around, Leon was about to leave with the task list, but he seemed to remember something, hesitated for a moment, and then said a little embarrassedly:
"Chief, can I take a day off next week?"
Although he had only been employed for over a month, the time Leon had been on leave was already longer than the time he had been "at work". Moreover, he had just messed up a task and was absent from work for over a week. Less than an hour after returning, he asked for leave again. Even Leon himself found it a little difficult to ask for it.
However, the red-haired director was very easy to talk to about his "fake physique". He took out a notebook and a pen from the drawer and said nonchalantly:
"Please, please. Your injuries haven't fully healed yet, and you haven't been home much these past few days because you were taken away for investigation. It's normal to ask for leave... How long do you want to take?"
"This... I'm not sure either..."
After hesitating for a moment, Leon asked back:
"Do you know how long the general ceremony of inheriting a title takes?"
Succession ceremony?
The red-haired chief thought for a moment and replied:
"About one to four days, right? Most of the titles of earl and below have little wealth and no real power, so it won't take too long. A banquet to entertain guests is enough, and it will be over in half a day.
If you move up, they are basically some big families. The change of titles in big families will affect many things. Even the royal family will send envoys to attend the ceremony. There are also internal presentations of family history, property holders’ handovers, and elders’ meetings. It is estimated that it will take at least three or four days. "
Is it so troublesome...
Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but frowned.
"If we drive away all the friends, relatives and guests and simply report to the royal family, and most of the important people in the family are also dead, how long can it be shortened to at most?"
"That should probably only take a day...but which noble would do that?"
After blinking in surprise, the red-haired director who was writing a leave note couldn't help but raise his head and looked over with a puzzled look.
"Also, why are you asking these questions? Are you asking for leave to attend a ceremony at some noble house?"
"Well... that's right..."
After scratching his head awkwardly, Leon, who hadn’t figured out how to explain the situation, could only say as tactfully as possible:
"Director, do you remember what excuse I used when I investigated Yang Xin?" "I remember. I went to Ryan's house to recognize my relatives. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing... I just succeeded in recognizing my relatives, and it was an extremely successful one..."
After clenching his fist hesitantly, Leon looked at the red-haired director opposite him who looked confused and said helplessly:
"Let me tell you this. I have now been recognized as the 29th Duke of Lionheart, and my coronation ceremony will be next Tuesday."
"..."
"???"
"!!!"
Shocked! A new employee who had just been employed by the bureau for a month asked me for leave, and the reason was to inherit the Duke's family business?
What's even worse is that the original first heir was killed by Leon himself! Could it be that he wanted to inherit the title...
That's not right! Leon shouldn't be such a person. Besides, the Ryan family lost a lot of important members because of his "failed to rescue in time". It seems that they won't be able to survive for long. Why would he destroy the Ryan family first and then take over an empty title? Who would do that? But...but...
But how come you recognized a relative as a duke?
Faced with the sudden turn of events, even the knowledgeable red-haired director couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
After a while, after recovering from this shocking news, the red-haired director said with a rather strange expression:
"Are you kidding me?"
"I'm not kidding you. I really want to inherit the title..."
After briefly explaining what he knew, Leon said helplessly:
“I really have no interest in the title of the Ryan family, but no matter how I refused, it was useless, they directly reported my name.
Because they were worried that I wouldn’t cooperate, they even put anesthetics in my hospital meals and called more than 20 guards to guard outside my ward. I only escaped after my injuries healed a little and forcibly knocked them down…”
"..."
Good fellow, no wonder you came back so quickly, it turns out you were not released because of Old Charles's power, but broke out directly after inheriting the title...
After smacking his lips in silence, the red-haired director said with a complicated look:
"Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing earlier?"
"I wanted to tell you earlier, but when I came back, before I could even start talking, you kept asking me what was going on with Ryan's Bloody Night. Just as I finished explaining Ryan's Bloody Night to you, Senior Tom came in.
Then you asked me to check Senior Tom, and you scolded me, saying that I shouldn’t have taken the risk of contacting Bobby Ryan, and then you assigned me a task, and I never got a chance to speak…”
"..."
It seems...that's really the case?
After recalling the previous situation and finding that it was indeed the case, the red-haired director couldn't help but open his mouth, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Since you ran away, why did you ask me for leave to attend the inheritance ceremony? Also, what do you think of the Duke's identity?"
"I just told you that I really have no interest in this title. As for why I asked you for leave, it's because I feel that only by attending the title succession ceremony can I have a chance to get rid of this trouble directly."
After a slight hesitation, Leon said:
"Director, tell me, if I announce at the inheritance ceremony that I will donate all of Ryan's assets to the royal family as a duke, what will be the result?"
