City of iron post,
Manager's office—City Lord Mansion,
"Ms. Melinda, where is this person?" Manager Lawrence inquired. He made up his mind to get to the bottom of this matter.
Hearing that, Ms. Melinda wrinkled her eyebrows in confusion. She realised that the manager was clearly intending to investigate this matter. which is clearly against the mission rules.
So she asked back, "Manager, it's clearly against the rules to interrogate the bandit hunting warriors. We already stated that as long as warriors complete their mission, we won't interfere with them. "
Manager Lawrence's face darkened hearing that. But he didn't take it to heart. He simply replied, "I just want to meet him right now. Can you ask him to come back? "
Ms. Melinda frowns. She doesn't like where this is going. She finally decided to tell him what the young man said to her.
"Manager, that young warrior has already decided to go home tonight. He just came here to get his reward. And he clearly states that no one should investigate his background. "
"Going home?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows in displeasure. But when it comes to later words, Obviously, he didn't mind it.
Right now, he has become impatient. He doesn't want to drag this matter, even though there is a beauty sitting in front of him.
"Ms.Melinda," he said in a stern tone.
"Just inform this person that I want to meet him," he instructed.
Seeing his annoyed expression, Ms. Melinda understood that he had already made up his mind. Then she got up from the seat to leave. She tried to convince the manager as much as she could. It's up to the young man now how he deals with the manager.
She arrived back at her cabin in a few minutes. After taking her seat, she fell silent for a moment. She doesn't know why the manager is hell bent on investigating this. To some extent, she can understand.
But they have made it public that the City Lord's mansion won't interfere. Then again, this is also good for her. If the young man really has a terrible background, she can say that the manager is going to kick the iron plate this time.
When she imagined that happened, a small smile rose on her face. Next, she immediately phoned a young man named Zack through her sci-fi watch.
…
(From MC's Perspective)
When I was spending my lone time reading articles online, I suddenly heard a notification sound.
BUZZ
Seeing that it's a call from an accountant, I immediately answered the call.
I said, "Thank you for processing this fast." Without minding her reply, I waited for my bank notification. My eyes can't wait to see the billion credit points in my account.
On the other hand, Ms. Melinda was stunned. She coughed immediately in response.
Hearing the cough sound, I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Are you alright?" I just asked casually, but the next second my demeanor changed.
"Mr. Zack , there is a problem. Our manager wants to see you. Could you please come back? " Ms. Melinda requested.
Next, I get up from the sofa. It obviously smells like trouble. So I directly asked, "What's happening? I have told you before that I don't want to reveal my background.
Ms. Melinda revealed a bitter smile and said, "Mr. Zack, you must understand that a billion credit points is not a small amount. Even the strongest team won't be able to achieve this feat. That's why the manager is being suspicious about it. "
"So, what? Before you guys clearly put out a statement saying the City Lord Mansion won't care about the process as long as the bandit head is collected. Why backtrack now? " I asked in a displeased tone.
I'm already pissed off by the treatment of the Eastwood Company. Now these guys are going to another level.
Ms. Melinda really felt helpless. She let out a small sigh before saying, "Mr. Zack, you must understand I'm just an accountant. If you want to seek justice, you can confront the manager. "
Hearing that, a cold glint flashes in my eyes.
I immediately responded by saying, "Okay, I'm coming back." After saying that, I ended the call abruptly.
Before this situation, I really didn't have a good opinion about the city lord of this city and his minions. So far, they didn't care about the city's affairs except for the bandits roaming inside the insect forest.
Now the manager seems to be no good. If it's a simple misunderstanding, then it's fine. But if he tries to create an unnecessary problem, then I will have to act against him.
Mr. Jonathan was going to solve the scourge of this city. That's what I'm curious about: what would happen if they created a problem for his acquaintance, which is me.
A smile blossomed on my face thinking about it. I mumbled under my breath, "I really hope that the manager will create problems for me."
But before that, I decided to type some messages to Mr. Jonathan. He should know what I'm up to now.
I don't know what would happen if things really worsened. So Mr. Jonathan is my insurance. He would bail me back out if I got stuck in a terrible situation.
I quickly changed my clothes after sending the message.Then I walked out of the hotel a few minutes later.
Today my mood went up and down a couple of times. I hope they won't seize my rewards. As usual, I spotted an aircar to travel in. This guy is the same one who previously dropped me at the City Lord Mansion.
After walking up to him, I told him about my destination.
"What again?" The driver asked
In response, I simply nodded at him. Then I got inside the car and sat in the seat. The air car rose from the platform and flew toward the destination.
A few minutes later, I was standing in front of the huge city lord mansion again. I let out a deep sigh before following the queue.
The process was repeated again. It was the same city guard who was screening the warriors. When it was my turn, the city guard paused after seeing my ID.
He raised his head to observe me and asked, "Young man, did you came here an hour ago?"
I nodded and replied, "Yeah, I got a call from the administration office."
Hearing that, the city guard nodded and let me in. Soon I followed the others to enter. Then I walked towards the administration office.
When I arrived at the spot, the front guard nodded at me before going inside to inform his superiors.
A few moments later, the accounting woman walked out. She nodded at me before saying, "Let's go."
"Hmmm,I said.
I understand she is leading me towards the manager. Within a few breaths, we arrived at another fancy building. After walking inside, she led the way towards the manager's cabin.
A "Creak" door opens.
Both of us walked inside. I found a man who appeared to be in his fifties sitting behind the desk. I assume this guy is the manager of the city lord mansion.
Seeing us coming, the manager raised his head to see us. I found he was looking at me with a cold gaze. I couldn't help but frown when I felt that. "This is going to be trouble," I grunted.
"Ms. Melinda, you can leave now. "I would like to have a private conversation with this young man," Manager Lawrence said.
So the accountant's name is Ms. Melinda. I smiled inside. But I found she was hesitating a bit. Shaking my head, I said,"Ms. Melinda, don't worry. I can take care of myself. "
Hearing that, I heard snorting from the manager. What's going on? I just spoke casually. I don't know why the manager is displeased right now.
On the other hand, hearing my words, Ms. Melinda nodded at me before leaving the cabin.
As the door closed, the manager said, "Young man, come here and take your seat."
I nodded and walked towards the opposite chair to sit in.
After taking a seat, I immediately asked, "Manager, why did you ask me to come here?"
"Harrumph"
"Tell me, how did you collect so many decapitated heads?" Manager Lawrence asked in a threatening tone.
The atmosphere inside the room quickly becomes quiet.
I can see that he's already made up his mind that I'm not the one who achieved this feat. Feeling his blazing glare at me, I answered in a calm tone, " First of all, what does it have to do with you?"
"In the mission notice, it is clearly mentioned that you guys will not explore the details behind the decapitated heads." I replied one by one in a calm tone.
Manager Lawrence's heart boiled in anger. He thought the young man didn't take him seriously. It's true that there is such a rule. But what about it? He had previously assumed that a veteran would arrive.
But right now, he is already dumbfounded by looking at the person in front of him.
This person is too young for any conspiracy. The manager didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was afraid to call this young man a conspirator.
For a moment, both of them remained silent. Manager Lawrence really wants to understand how he did it.
