Chapter 484 31
Chapter 484 One third
"So...you just came to find me?"
Standing in the hallway of the Happy Apartment, after listening to the threats from Ambassador Kroc relayed by the female police officer, and looking at Isa who came directly to the door early in the morning, Leon couldn't help but touch his cufflinks, and then said something else:
"But I'm on vacation now. If you want me to help you find something, you should report to the Cleaning Bureau and wait three working days..."
"Bah, stop denying it!"
Seeing that Leon was still trying to fool her, the female police officer stomped her feet in anger, then lowered her voice and said angrily:
"I have already found out that you were the one who attacked the boarding tower!
Others may not know this, but I know very well that the documents and uniforms carried by those who attacked the boarding tower were all real, and they were all obtained from the spare parts warehouse of the Secret Investigation Bureau, and you just happened to ask me for the approval slip before that!"
"..."
As expected, the truth was revealed...
Looking at the policewoman who had been working overtime crazily because of the boarding tower incident and whose eyes were as dark as a national treasure, Leon couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Then he coughed dryly and explained with a little embarrassment:
"Well... I'm sorry, but there is a reason why I kept this from you..."
"I don't care what your reasons are. What the Kingdom of Korok wants is in your hands, right?"
Reaching out and grabbing Leon's collar, the female police officer whispered in annoyance:
“I know you wouldn’t do anything rash. There must be a reason for doing such a thing. So even though the police department found the spare parts warehouse, I didn’t disclose the matter to anyone. I have been covering for you the whole time. But what do you say now?
Although I don't understand international relations, I know how important the technology of the Korok Kingdom is. Now the police department has been unable to find the murderer who attacked the boarding tower, and they are anxious to impose sanctions. What should the kingdom do?"
"Don't worry, let me think about it first."
After patting the policewoman's hand to comfort her, Leon frowned and analyzed the current situation.
The Kingdom of Korok suddenly launched an attack, probably because after dealing with the wreckage of the airship, they discovered that Atiphi 128 had been taken away. Since they could not find the whereabouts of Atiphi 128, they could only put pressure on the kingdom through official means.
For the kingdom in a weak position, the best solution at the moment is to hand over Atifi 128, but the problem is that this thing must not be handed over, because its "brain" is likely to contain the kingdom's energy exploration records.
Once it is handed back, it won't matter whether or not they are exposed. Once the existence of "volcanic energy" in the kingdom is exposed, the Korok Kingdom will definitely choose to go to war. This will definitely be the most fatal blow to the kingdom that has just regained some vitality, so...
"The things are indeed with me, but I absolutely cannot give them back."
? !
When she heard the first half of the sentence, when Leon admitted that the thing was in his hand, the female police officer couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, but before she could finish her breath, she was stuck in her throat by the second half of Leon's sentence.
"It's a bit difficult to explain the reason... To put it simply, if the item is not returned, the kingdom will only be sanctioned, but if the item is returned, the two countries will have no choice but to go to war."
After briefly explaining the reason for not returning the items, Leon comforted the policewoman who looked a little confused:
"Also, you don't have to worry too much about the so-called sanctions. The situation in the Korok Kingdom is a bit special. The Cleanup Bureau is preparing to investigate the situation and will take action after the investigation is completed."
……
"The bureau probably won't take direct action."
After giving an unexpected answer, in Leon's bewildered look, the red-haired director reminded him helplessly:
"Although the matter of the Korok Kingdom is important, His Excellency Taurus will soon ascend to the palace. Apart from anything else, at least for this month, everything else must give way to this. The Bureau's intention is to focus on the investigation first, and then make another move once the situation is confirmed."
"There's no rush then."
Lyon thought for a moment and said:
"Anyway, it will only take more than a month for His Excellency Taurus to successfully ascend to the palace. A month or two of sanctions is still nothing to the kingdom."
“It will take more than one or two months. It may take half a year or even longer.” ???
"Because the Kingdom of Korok is not the only country with problematic royal families, we can't act rashly. We should wait until the situation is thoroughly investigated before launching a joint attack."
The red-haired director explained:
"Leon, during the few days you were on vacation, Director Sagittarius asked each branch to conduct a self-examination and found that in addition to the Korok Kingdom, there was another..."
"and many more!"
After hearing what the red-haired chief said, Leon couldn't help but interrupt:
"Let each branch conduct a self-investigation? Didn't that tin doll say that there is another traitor in our bureau? If we let each branch conduct a self-investigation, what should we do if the news leaks out?"
"Don't worry, the bureau won't make such a low-level mistake... well... I should say it usually won't happen."
After adding a sentence with some distrust, the red-haired director said:
"After you exposed Director Aquarius and found out that he was also the director of the Gemini Branch, all the eleven directors of the Zodiac Branch, including me, underwent some inspections and used two numbered-level anomalies to temporarily restrain the spirits.
Because the use of those two items is quite costly, the number of people who can be bound by the Word Spirit is limited. It is not so easy for the small bureaus that are not from the Yellow Road, but the directors of our big bureaus can still basically guarantee their loyalty. After all, if they can't even guarantee this, then the Cleanup Bureau wouldn't have lasted until now."
"..."
I see. My bureau is awesome... But I want to ask, which bureau did the chief of the Gemini Branch betray? The Cleaning Bureau? The Processing Bureau? It definitely wasn't our Cleaning Bureau, right?
"Ahem... Anyway, the Zodiac Branch, which is responsible for guarding the Twelve Kingdoms, conducted an internal self-examination and found that four royal families, including the Kingdom of Korok, had some problems."
"ah?!!!"
In the face of Leon's extremely shocked expression, the red-haired director also said helplessly:
"The King's Ship of Sai'ao, the Thousand Sails Sea Nation, has been completely transformed into a ghost ship. Once it is illuminated by the moonlight of a full moon, all the living people on it will instantly turn into ghosts. If the King's Ship had not been stationed on the Moon-Blinding Sea all year round, with the thick fog above it never dissipating, it would have been destroyed long ago.
There is also a problem in the witch country of Miphala. The royal family there has always been a single-line successor. The current Great Witch King is over 130 years old and will probably die of old age soon. However, her only daughter has disappeared, and the one left behind is just a fake. It is not certain whether she is still alive. "
"..."
"Something has also happened to the twin kingdom of Kalewen. The two kingdoms of Kalewen, East and West, had completely different beliefs, worshipping light and darkness respectively. After the East Kalewen Kingdom was destroyed because of the incident at the Snake Man's Office, the Luminous Church of the Light Worshipers should have disappeared.
But recently this church suddenly appeared again, and mixed up with the Deep Church of those who prayed in darkness in the Kingdom of West Karelwen. It seems that they are preparing to restore the former Kingdom of East Karelwen on the territory of the Kingdom of West Karelwen by changing the state religion, and there is a great possibility that they will attack the royal family. "
"..."
So, including Korok, the mechanical capital where the Omnic Crisis broke out, one third of the twelve kingdoms in the world have been robbed? What are the twelve zodiac bureaus for?
This is really out of line! They say the Cleanup Bureau never makes stupid mistakes... Indeed, they don't make stupid mistakes very often, but they make the most fatal mistakes, right?
