Chapter 1088 More money is needed

Is the situation similar?
After hearing what Queen Dongkalevin said, several queens sitting at the "Queen" table were all stunned, and then strange looks appeared on their faces one after another.

If that's the case, it seems that everyone sitting here is in a very similar situation, and they are basically all related to someone.

Including the "official wife" Queen Veronica, there are a total of six kingdoms here. Among them, the Northern Kingdom, the Witch Kingdom, the Mikoto Kingdom, and the Sicalevin Kingdom can be said to have been forced to rise to power by Leon.

As for this mysterious Queen of East Karevin, although the specific situation is still unclear, since she said it was almost the same, it is likely that she is in crisis, and Lyon is on a diplomatic mission, and the queen is taking the throne.

The remaining queen of Qianfan Sea Country is a bit of a bitch. Although I haven't heard that she was forced to take the throne, someone's younger brother is sitting behind her, holding a notebook and writing something. He must be related to Leon.
So our table is not so much the "reformists" who support the Robin and the Cleanup Bureau, but rather the God of Cookery and his accomplices! And more importantly...

I don't have anything to do with him!

Looking at the other "rumored partners" of Leon around them, the queens who believed that they were innocent with someone... at least for now, they subconsciously moved their chairs away.

Just as the queens were trying to distance themselves from other people to prove that they were still innocent girls and different from those bitches who were having affairs with married men, the empty edge of the triangular main conference table suddenly lit up, spreading out a cluster of brilliant stars.

Under the astonished gaze of the king and his entourage, two old men in specially made suits, as if squeezed out from another world, waved their hands to push away the lights around them that were denser than the night sky, and slowly appeared from nothing.

That’s right! This is the right appearance!
Seeing the two directors who reluctantly accepted his suggestion and moved the star gate across a distance of more than 50 meters from outside the hall directly to the main conference table, and Leon who used the star gate to move directly back to his seat, he could not help but nodded with satisfaction.

Being excessively vain is a bad habit, but necessary packaging cannot be omitted.

After all, although the Twelve Kingdoms know that the Cleanup Bureau is awesome, they have no concrete concept of how awesome it is. Just like can the impact of having a million in a card be the same as having a million banknotes piled in front of you?

When you two walked into the hall and sat down, you had to explain to the guards at the door with your identification documents that you were directors of the Cleanup Bureau who came to preside over the meeting. You really brought down the prestige of the Cleanup Bureau.

Even if the two of you crawled in through the door, the Twelve Kingdoms would still respect the Cleanup Bureau, but this way of maximizing the sound and light effects can turn respect directly into awe, and the subsequent gathering will go much more smoothly.

"Everyone."

After secretly adjusting the dress that Leon had insisted on putting on, and forcibly suppressing the awkward feeling, Director Scorpio silently recited the three elements of pretense that he had just learned, raised his chin slightly, glanced down, and said with a Sima face:

"I am Director Scorpio of the Cleanup Bureau, and the one standing next to me is Director Cancer. This time, the Twelve Kingdoms Assembly will be hosted by the two of us."

Looking at the main conference table that was shocked by his performance and was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, Director Scorpio couldn't help but feel a little happy. Then he continued to maintain a three-point politeness and seven-point arrogance, omitting all the politeness and formal words, and went straight to the point with a calm expression:

“The main reason why we invite you all to participate in this rally is to change the current chaotic situation, promote exchanges between our Cleanup Bureau and the Twelve Kingdoms, open up new channels for timely communication and feedback, continue to deepen the past cooperation between the two sides, and so on.

Of course, in addition to the above topics raised by our Cleanup Bureau, some people have also proposed some new ideas on international relations to us, but these are temporarily classified as "related discussions" and should be discussed after the main topic is over... Do you have any objections to this process?"

No...or even if there is, it's useless, right?
After listening to Director Scorpio's opening remarks, except for Veronica who had sneaked in through the Star Gate with him, the eleven kings sitting at the main conference table subconsciously looked at Leon who was sitting in the "accompanying seat".

Although Director Scorpio did not name anyone directly just now, there is no complete fool sitting here. Even if you use your butt to think, you can know that the “someone” who proposed some new ideas is 100% him.

Or to put it more bluntly, the so-called "main topic" in this gathering of the Twelve Kingdoms is, in ninety-nine percent of cases, just a cover to deceive people, and those new ideas classified as "other related discussions" are the real life-threatening things!

Recalling those "new ideas" in the agenda sheet that were just briefly written with vague names but made people shudder, the six kings sitting at the "Anti-Food" table opposite Lyon couldn't help but look at each other, and saw a desperate determination in each of their eyes.

The main topic in front is fine, but those so-called new ideas in the back must not be passed at all! Otherwise, you and the kingdom you control will sooner or later become puppets manipulated by the God of Food!
"Since no one has any objections, I will just get started."

After waiting for a while and no one spoke, Director Scorpio, who had rehearsed in advance, nodded slightly, and then announced the first agenda item of the day... or rather, the notice, and said with a serious face:

"From today on, the Cleanup Bureau will no longer directly provide protection to the Twelve Kingdoms."

"?!!!!!!"

After hearing what Director Scorpio said, the kings, who were originally prepared to agree to whatever they heard and quickly skip the main topic, were suddenly shocked!
"What did you say?!" Without even bothering to use a respectful title, the King of Sea Cliff Kingdom jumped up from his chair, and said in disbelief:

"Has the Cleanup Bureau gone mad? Are you serious?"

“This was a resolution that was unanimously passed after discussion among all directors.”

After taking over the conversation and stating that this was an irreversible decision, the pot-bellied Cancer director rubbed his belly and said with a smile:

"From now on, all the work of the branches of the Cleanup Bureau in the Twelve Kingdoms, including handling sudden abnormal incidents, clearing out various extreme churches, resisting the invasion of foreign gods, and protecting you all, etc., will be..."

Will everything... stop?
Seeing that the two directors were obviously not joking but had really made a decision, not only the kings of the "Anti-Food Table" were shocked, even the queens of the "Gossip Table" could not help but show surprise on their faces.

The total number of staff in the Cleanup Bureau is only a few thousand, and they are scattered among the twelve kingdoms and dozens of large and small city-states. On average, each kingdom's branch has only a few dozen people, which can't even fill the smallest apartment building.

Compared with the number of officials in each kingdom that is calculated in units of hundreds of thousands, the dozens of people in the various branches of the Cleanup Bureau are like drops of water falling into the ocean, and are even less conspicuous than a hair on a cow's butt.

But if this seemingly insignificant hair really decides to give up and insists on detaching from the cow's butt, then within a few years, this cow will probably turn into a mad cow with sores all over its body!

"and many more!"

Seeing that the Cleanup Bureau seemed to be serious, the Thunderstorm King, who had originally planned to fool around with the main topic, could no longer sit still and quickly stood up to stop them:
"You can't do this!"

"Why not?"

"Because... this will cause the Twelve Kingdoms, and even the entire world, to fall into chaos!"

Faced with the terrifying crisis that the Cleanup Bureau wanted to quit, King Thunderstorm no longer cared about those "new ideas" at this time, and racked his brains to try to stop it:
"When ordinary people are solving abnormal incidents, they can easily be infected! And then it turns into a new abnormal incident! If you let go completely, it won't be long before the abnormal incidents explode! By then, even you will be affected, and then..."

“But we didn’t say we were going to let go.”

"?????"

According to Leon's request, he deliberately stretched the Cancer director of the Kings and explained with a smile:
"You stood up too quickly. I haven't finished what I just said... The Cleanup Bureau is not going to stop its activities completely. From now on, all our work in the past will be changed to paid services in the future."

"what?"

Confused by the sudden turn of events, the King of Thunderstorm Country was silent for a moment, then asked in bewilderment:
"So what you mean is... I have to pay more?"

“Of course, funding must be increased, but it’s not just funding that needs to be increased.”

After saying that this was not what he meant, Leon moved the chair under his butt from the "Gossip Table" to the "Cleaning Bureau" table, indicating that he was now speaking as a director of the Cleaning Bureau, and then stood up to explain:

"What we at the Cleanup Bureau want in return is stronger support, closer cooperation, and a more stable situation."

"???"xN
"To put it bluntly, we can no longer push all the blame on the Cleanup Bureau as we did in the past. The Twelve Kingdoms should and must shoulder their share of responsibility."

Leon, who had long been dissatisfied with the current model of the Cleanup Bureau, spoke directly:

“In the process of handling abnormal events, the part of directly contacting abnormal objects is indeed not suitable for ordinary people to do, but the tasks of pre-incident intelligence gathering, remote reconnaissance and monitoring, providing firepower support, and post-event cleanup can also be done by ordinary people who have been trained.

In addition, in addition to the support that should have been provided long ago, the chaotic kingdoms under your rule are themselves the main reason for the large number of abnormal events. This situation must also be changed! "
