Chapter 228 Reward
Chapter 228 Reward (Part )
Damn it, if people really believed your nonsense, I would let the brain-eating monster lick my brain grooves! And you are just going to apologize lightly?
The scalp was numb after being hit by Leon's "returning the favor", and fearing that the director of the Cleanup Bureau really believed Leon's lies, the tall and thin man quickly turned around and looked at the main stage, trying to defend himself:
"Director! He only said one side of the story! Whether this is true or not depends on... uh... the Director?"
"It's time, Chief."
A director stood up and answered helplessly:
"Just when you started arguing, Jiu Tu happened to move to the back of the solar halo, and the director's projection was also blocked. If he comes back next time... it will probably take seven or eight years!"
"..."
No... We haven't even decided what to do with Aquarius yet, and the director of the Cleanup Bureau is gone? And he's been gone for seven or eight years? This is even less reliable than the United Nations!
Looking at the director's projection disappearing on the main stage, Leon could no longer hold back.
Our Cleanup Bureau is really full of talented people!
A director who only shows up once every eight years, a traitorous director who wants to go up to the sky and demolish his own space station, a branch director who is still thinking about internal strife at a critical moment, and a director who is smarter than a monkey when he is not drinking, but becomes a monkey after drinking...
Damn! This world is supported by a group of people like this. It has lasted for so many years without being occupied by the Outer Gods. I really don’t know what kind of shit luck it has!
……
"Okay, let's stop talking about those things."
Several directors exchanged ideas silently, and finally Director Jinniu stood up and asked seriously:
“Leon, is what you just said true? Did Aquarius really say who in the bureau was in collusion with him?”
"Yes, and I mentioned everyone's name in detail."
In the face of Director Scorpio's shocked and angry expression, Leon nodded, and then said helplessly:
"But he was speaking too fast. Apart from the first few sentences, he spoke hundreds of words per second. I couldn't really hear what he was saying, but..."
After glancing at Director Scorpio who seemed to be relieved, Leon raised his eyebrows and said:
"But the scales of truth in his hand have condensed his words into weights. Just by touching the weights, one can know what is inside."
Hearing Leon's words, Director Scorpio's expression suddenly became stern!
"But the Balance of Truth suddenly exploded from behind, and most of the weights fell onto the main stage and were crushed by the attack from behind."
Director Scorpio looked relieved...
"But before those attacks landed, I managed to grab a few weights."
Director Scorpio looked even more nervous!
"But the weight I snatched didn't include the one with the traitors' list."
Director Scorpio's expression relaxed again...
"Although I didn't get the list of traitors who colluded with Aquarius, I got it by chance..."
"Okay, you don't have to say anything!"
Seeing that Leon was deliberately playing tricks on him, the tall and thin man simply gave up and admitted directly with gritted teeth:
"I admit it! Before the questioning began, Aquarius visited me privately and promised me some benefits, but he definitely didn't say it was about the Watchtower Palace!
At that time, Aquarius only told me that there would be an inquiry against him after the year-end review, regarding the private creation of abnormal objects, and hoped that I could help him stand up for him at that time, nothing else! I am willing to be responsible for my words! "
"Aquarius also came to visit me, and the situation was similar to Edward's..."
"Ah...me too."
"Me too, but he just said they were minor inconveniences..."
"And me, but I didn't agree to him." No one dared to bet whether Leon had the so-called list of traitors in his hand. A total of more than a dozen branch directors stood up and admitted that they had contact with Director Aquarius.
However, these people also swore and said that they had only heard that it was a minor trouble and they had no idea that Director Aquarius was plotting to take over the Watchtower Palace.
Having successfully achieved his goal, Leon decided to stop while he was ahead. After remembering all these people, he did not mention the so-called traitor list that did not exist at all. Instead, he waited for these people to finish their confessions and continued:
"I didn't get the list, but I was lucky enough to get the training methods of two secret arts. One is the abnormal creation secret art of the Aquarius lineage, and the other is a suppression technique called the God-covering Cross Finger, which is specifically used to target true gods who have been deprived of their powers... Do I need to hand in these two secret arts?"
"no need."
Upon hearing this, Director Jinniu sighed and shook his head in disappointment:
“The Bureau has backup copies of these two secret techniques, so you don’t need to hand them in. Furthermore, the talent required is incredibly high, and it’s not something you can master simply by practicing.
There is no need to talk about the Aquarius lineage's unusual creation secrets. Those who are not chosen by the Aquarius Star Palace cannot become practitioners. This is the case with all twelve secret arts. Only those who are chosen first are qualified to practice them.
As for the [God-covering Cross Finger], apart from the first generation of Aquarius and this generation of Aquarius, no one else can master it... What a pity, you got the two most valuable things from Aquarius, but also the two things you can't use the most."
That's hard to say.
After recalling the two secret techniques sealed in his mind, Leon nodded and said nothing. He even used the [Performer] badge to put on a regretful expression, but he was already thinking about it in his heart.
If I have the chance in the future, I must see if I can touch that Star Palace. There is a [Materialism] badge that can "increase resistance". Maybe I will really be qualified to learn the secret art of abnormal creation without being selected.
……
"Olivia."
Not knowing that someone had already thought of taking advantage of the situation, after asking Leon the question, Director Taurus turned to look at her and asked kindly:
"This time, we are all thankful to you. If you and Beverly hadn't insisted, Aquarius might have fooled us and even the Watchtower Palace would have been threatened... Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"My reward is unnecessary."
The red-haired director had always had an inexplicable respect for the Taurus director, who was a sitting sign. After hearing her question, he immediately refused with a serious face:
"Compared with your contribution to all mankind, my contribution is insignificant and really means nothing. This is what I should do.
In addition, Director Aquarius created twelve holders of abnormal objects, who have been roaming around the royal capital for several years, and I have not been able to catch them. This is actually a serious dereliction of duty, and I am unworthy of receiving the reward.
This time, it was Leon who first discovered the clues and provided evidence at the critical moment, which forced Aquarius into a corner. He deserves the credit! Beverly and several other branch directors also helped collect evidence and worked hard for a long time. You can just reward them. "
"Don't refuse."
Director Jinniu shook his head upon hearing this:
"They will all get their rewards, but you were the one who led the inquiry. If you hadn't insisted, I wouldn't have agreed to the inquiry. It's also your credit to direct Leon to seize the opportunity to arrest the rebels. What's yours is yours."
"In this case……"
After hearing what Director Taurus said, the red-haired director couldn't help but hesitate for a moment, and said with expectation:
"I remember the beads of the god of brewing..."
"except this."
"..."
"Don't think about it, this really won't work..."
Looking at the disappointed red-haired director, Director Taurus said helplessly:
"Don't you know what's going on? That bead is enough to brew any kind of fine wine in the world. If I really give it to you, your virgin branch will probably be disbanded tomorrow!"
