Chapter 351 Night Attack
Chapter 351 Night Attack (Part )
"Ah."
After responding calmly, Reynard looked at his secretary and said suspiciously:
"Why did you go? It was just an order, why did you take so long?"
"The person on duty over there fell asleep and couldn't be woken up no matter how much we called out. It took us a little longer. We were even scared by a wild cat on the way. Sorry..."
After giving two vague answers, "Mark" walked back to his desk with heavy steps and continued to review the documents that he had not finished reviewing before.
Leonard sat back at the table and looked at the pale sky. He suddenly felt a pain in his waist and back. He couldn't help yawning, then waved his hand with a tired look on his face and said:
"Stop it, let's stop here today, I want to rest.
Tomorrow afternoon, we have to meet with the president of the Royal Capital Chamber of Commerce to discuss the imposition of an additional monopoly tax on several large companies headed by Charles Department Store. You should also go to the side room and lie down for a while. Don't miss the meeting tomorrow!"
"Ok."
After hearing what Reynard said, the secretary stood up and followed him closely, leaving the office and walking into the slightly dimly lit corridor.
As the two men entered the corridor one after the other, under the indifferent gaze of the portraits on both sides, their shadows were stretched longer and longer by the lights behind them, and the footsteps of the secretary "Mark" were getting closer and closer, his shadow gradually covering Leonard's head, almost wrapping him up completely.
"By the way, how is the woman at Treasure Flower Manor?"
As if he was not used to the silence of the talkative secretary, Leonard took the initiative to speak with some discomfort:
"Does she still live in the garden?"
"..."
After hearing Leonard's question, Mark's shadow paused for a moment, and instead of continuing to stretch, he hummed softly and said:
"Yes, she still lives with your daughter in the little cabin in the corner of the garden."
Your daughter...
"Shut up! Don't mention that monster! She's not my daughter!"
Leonard's body suddenly paused when he heard this. He stopped walking, turned around, and said with annoyance in his eyes:
"Damn it! I drowned that monster a long time ago! But she... Mark!!! How dare you? How dare you mention this in front of me?!!"
"I'm sorry! Lord Marquis, I'm sorry! I spoke out of turn!"
Scared awake by Reynard's sudden outburst, the secretary realized that he had spoken out of turn and slapped himself hard, pulling himself out of his incoherent, half-asleep state, and said with a trembling voice:
"I...I just...maybe I was too sleepy just now...My Lord Marquis...I...I..."
"Okay, shut your mouth!"
After glaring at his secretary with disgust, Reynard said sternly, thinking about finding a reason to kick him out tomorrow:
"Since you've been busy with me till late at night and your mind isn't clear, I'll let it go this time. But if I hear you mention it again, don't blame me!"
"I...I remember, Your Excellency the Marquis. I remember!"
After snorting in anger, Leonard, who had already opened the topic, simply continued to ask:
"I asked you to clean up the manor. Did she see it? If she saw it, did she say anything?"
"She... should have seen it."
After his eyes flickered slightly, "Mark" replied:
"But she didn't say anything, nor did she try to stop it. She just picked up the Baohua family crest from the garbage pile in front of the main building." "Is that so... hehe."
Leonard sneered with a hint of disdain and said:
“After that incident, I actually saw her twice more. At that time, the woman looked at me as if she was looking at a dead person, which made me worried for a long time.
But now... hehe, it seems that the Cleanup Bureau's control over her is much stronger than I thought. She doesn't even dare to stand up and stop it. The last treasure flower... that's it."
"The Cleanup Bureau? What is that place?"
"That's... a mysterious department under the Ministry of Police."
After glancing at the curious secretary behind him, Leonard was a little annoyed at why he mentioned this dangerous organization so hastily. But after thinking about it for a while, he explained with a little fear in his eyes:
"They have some unusual abilities and can do things that ordinary people can't do. They are responsible for handling some special cases, but the conditions for joining are extremely harsh. Most people have never even heard of them, and even if they have heard of them, they will quickly forget them.
The reason I know of their existence is because that woman was chosen by them, so they gave me something called Word Spirit to prevent me from being approached by that woman, so that I can keep this memory. "
"There is actually such a magical organization..."
After sighing with shock in his eyes, the secretary said with some concern:
"Lord Reynard, since the woman from the Treasure Flower Manor was able to join the Cleanup Bureau, she must have some unusual abilities, right?"
"Ah."
Unable to help but look back again, he glanced at his somewhat strange secretary, thinking that even if he knew now, he would inexplicably forget this memory when he woke up tomorrow. In addition, he had been holding it in for so many years and really wanted to find an audience to talk to, so Reynard answered:
"Although I don't know the details, I guess her ability is likely to be able to resurrect people!"
"resurrection?"
"Yes, resurrection! She might be able to desecrate the souls of the dead!"
Reynard nodded, and continued to walk forward, while narrating with fear:
“I clearly…um…that monster child you mentioned earlier, she was definitely dead, but that crazy woman kept buying children’s clothes.
When I found out something was wrong, I thought she was crazy, but the people I sent to investigate actually saw a little girl in the garden! I even saw her directly through a telescope, and the child's eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as... the monster child!
Mark! Can you imagine how scared I was?
Damn it! If this opportunity wasn't so rare and the orders of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Queen were not easy to disobey, I would never go near that damn manor!"
"Well, I should be able to imagine it. Even if I can't imagine it now, I should be able to see it in a while."
???
"What the hell are you talking about?"
After hearing his secretary's strange response, Reynard turned around suddenly and shouted angrily:
"Damn it! Mark! Why on earth are you...why...why are you here today?!"
"Let me see you."
A clear and pleasant child's voice answered with a cheerful tone:
"I want to see what the person who drowned me looks like, and..."
Little Ellie, who replaced the dream Mark and appeared in front of Leonard, smiled, and then asked innocently in Leonard's horrified eyes:
"Where is my body? Where did you leave it? Can you tell me?"
"Aaaaaaaaaa!!!"
