"Don't try to bribe me!"
Ellanla's tone was extremely firm, but her right hand quietly stretched forward. This move made the succubus Melina grin with her teeth: "What an honest body!"
Who would have thought that Ellanla was as thick-skinned as a city wall, and said with a straight face: "As the intelligence agency directly under the Regent, I must report everything to the Regent, so I will not accept bribes!"
"but!"
Ellanla changed the topic and said, "As a Stalker's Guild, we also accept some orders, and this requires a fee."
In the spiritual world, the system elf Torina finally asked: "Michaela, have you decided?"
"I made a decision!"
Michaela nodded solemnly.
"Okay," Torina said with determination, "Then I support it, after all, we are one."
The inner body's opinions were unified, and Michaela immediately raised her head and asked Ellanla: "How much?"
Ellanla said: "The standard price is 10 gold coins per person!"
10 gold is exactly equivalent to Michaela's salary.
"good!"
As soon as Michaela agreed: "But, you have to do it yourself."
Ellanra: "No problem. Where's the time?"
Michaela: "Now!"
Ellanla: "You are so cruel!"
Michaela: "During the day, I was pressured to sign the white paper for the mansion. Construction will start tomorrow, so it must be resolved tonight."
"Then I have to hurry up."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ellanra's figure disappeared out of thin air. She was the leader of the Rogue Guild, and she was a professional in terms of technology.
After watching Ellanra leave, Michaela finally...
"Owner!"
The succubus Melina's soft-bone voice accompanied her snake-like fingers and wrapped around her again: "Let us do what we need to do, I am also a professional!"
Damn, damn!
Michaela would never forget that there was still such a troublesome goblin by her side, and after experiencing "nothing happened" last night, Michaela finally understood that there was a reason for the warlock's thin body.
"You, you, you, why are you still here!"
Michaela immediately jumped up, retreated to the corner, and asked: "Why didn't you return to the void!"
The previously contracted demons, whether it was the imp Colbert Long or the void lord Armstrong, after completing their missions, they all took the initiative to return to the void and no longer stayed in the human world.
But the succubus Melina in front of Michaela actually stayed behind since she was summoned, with no intention of returning to the void. She did not follow Michaela to the office to work, which was already a great honor to him.
because:
"I'm yours!"
The succubus Melina would not give Michaela any chance and threw her to the ground. At the same time, Torina also dug out the content about the succubus Melina in a pile of old Michaela's memory files, and then asked:
"Well, Michaela, there's good news and there's bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
At this time, Michaela had no intention of playing any "good or bad" game with Torina, and said directly: "Don't be so pretentious, just tell me!"
Torina immediately pointed to the memory file and said: "The good news is that you are the master of the succubus Melina, but the bad news is that Melina's contract seems to be different from other devil's contracts. Her autonomy is very powerful."
Michaela asked: "What do you mean?"
Torina replied: "She doesn't have to listen to your orders."
Damn it!
It’s over!
Melina's body was already pressed against Michaela's, and her gentle voice echoed in Michaela's ears: "Let's get started, the night is still long tonight!"
"Oh, by the way, and you!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Melina's mental projection appeared in front of Torina!
"You, how could you..." Torina was stunned.
Melina glanced around and recognized that this was a high-end office. She licked her lips and said:
"Little girl, the environment here is nice. Did the master arrange it for you?"
"As for why I am able to come here, you will soon experience it for yourself."
The long night is finally over.
Michaela bid farewell to Melina and went to work.
"Torina, how are you feeling?"
On the way, Michaela touched her head, which was still a little dull, and asked: "Melina didn't do anything to you, right?"
"I-I'm fine."
Tolina in the spiritual world is squatting on the ground with her hands on her legs: "I just didn't expect that Melina could enter your spiritual world."
Succubi have never been demons known for their physical strength. They are better at spiritual abilities. At least for now, Michaela is free of Melina, who won't be going to work.
"Okay, let's talk about the key points."
Michaela walked into the Tower of Sunfury, waving to Saidana, and asked Torina: "Do you think I will be arrested immediately after I enter the office?"
"possible."
Torina nodded: "Ellanla will definitely tell Aqiang about you, so what are you going to do? Run away?"
Michaela smiled slightly and said: "If you don't have the awareness of death, you are not qualified to kill."
Torina then added: "Lelouch, are you ready to die? What will I do if you die?"
Michaela said: "Don't worry, it won't be that extreme. Aqiang is not a fool. Sir Desmond's death has only advantages and no disadvantages for Aqiang."
"Yes!"
Torina also figured it out: "Killing Sir Desmond is your plan and has nothing to do with Aqiang. You don't have to dirty your hands and you can get benefits. He won't even have time to laugh!"
"Okay, the office is here."
Michaela took a deep breath and opened the office door. The person who greeted him was indeed:
"Good morning, minister!"
"Ah, minister, you are here."
There were no military police, no security forces, only Private Secretary Bernard and Permanent Secretary Humphrey waiting for the minister's arrival in the office.
"Hello."
While waving, Michaela also sat on her minister's throne: "What's there today..."
Before she finished speaking, Michaela noticed a front-page headline from the Sunshine News on her desk that read:
"Sad! Sir Desmond, a famous figure in Silvermoon City, passed away due to illness."
Great, he's dead!
Michaela was so excited that she even had a smile on her face...
"Minister."
At this moment, Humphrey suddenly spoke. Michaela felt something was wrong and immediately stopped smiling, looked up at the other person, and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I think today's front page is interesting."
Unexpectedly, Humphrey actually said with a smile: "Because the minister finally knows how to keep a low profile and let others have the content on the front page."
"Um?"
Michaela raised her eyebrows and asked directly: "Sir Humphrey, Sir Desmond is your friend, right? Aren't you sad when he dies?"
"Sad? Well, yes I am sad. I met him at the upper class banquet in the old Silvermoon City era."
However, Humphrey still did not stop smiling, but Bernard on the side said in a regretful tone:
"Sir Desmond is our benefactor in Silvermoon City. He actively donated his property to support the reconstruction of the city during his lifetime."
"Well, well, yes."
Humphrey also echoed in a sinister manner: "His glorious sacrifice is a great loss to us, right, minister?"
You have said so, can I still object?
Michaela naturally followed the other person's words and said: "Sir Desmond dedicates his property without asking for anything in return. He is a role model for all of us. We should learn from him."
"Michaela, you look so ugly talking nonsense!"
Only Torina told the truth: "Sir Desmond gave up his property to get a share of the pie in the future. He is a businessman and a plutocrat, how could he not ask for anything in return!"
Haha, doesn’t Michaela know that she is talking nonsense?
But when he discovered that Humphrey didn't seem to be sad at all about Sir Desmond's death, and was even a little excited, he already realized that something was wrong.
"By the way, Humphrey."
Michaela immediately asked: "Why did you introduce Sir Desmond to me yesterday?"
Humphrey smiled: "Because of you."
"Me?" Michaela was a little confused.
Humphrey is happy to explain: "Because you are not like us, you are not content to sit in an office, but you are willing to go to the grassroots and do things that we have no chance of doing."
At first, Michaela didn't understand, until Bernard on the side intervened: "We have no other ideas."
hehe!
"That's it!" Even Torina understood.
No wonder!
Michaela narrowed her eyes and glanced at Humphrey, who was smiling, and thought to herself: You, the old bureaucrat, are still the worst!
Sir Humphrey and Sir Desmond only met at a high-level banquet. To put it bluntly, it was just official and business friendship, not true friends.
Now, Sir Desmond is opening his mouth to blackmail the government, and the mansion is the starting point. However, the government's prestige cannot be challenged, and Sir Humphrey will of course use means to deal with him.
And that means is yourself.
Because Michaela himself is not really a bureaucrat, he does a lot of things that bureaucrats simply don't do!
"Does Humphrey also want Desmond to die?" Torina asked.
"No!"
Michaela speculated: "Humphrey's original plan might have been to use my hand to threaten Desmond, but he didn't expect that I would actually kill him."
"In addition, I guess that if Humphrey wants to take action against Desmond, it means that the regent should have been dissatisfied with Desmond for a long time."
Thinking of this, Michaela finally felt relieved:
"In other words, even if the regent will punish me for Desmond's death, the punishment will never be severe, because he is the biggest gainer."
Back to reality, Michaela pretended to ask Humphrey: "So where is the white paper on the mansion yesterday?"
Humphrey smiled knowingly: "Because the relevant person died unexpectedly, the contents of the white paper are invalid."
Bernard was also very smart and immediately asked: "So, minister, can I destroy that white paper according to the document destruction procedures?"
"Of course, Bernard." How could Michaela refuse!
"Okay, Minister."
Although Bernard sometimes talks nonsense, in terms of business ability, he is indeed an excellent personal secretary and has arranged everything for Michaela.
For example, today’s itinerary:
"Minister, this afternoon you are going to attend the completion ceremony of the fountain in the Royal Court Square and the separation wall in the Garden Market."
The above two projects were solved by Michaela personally at the grassroots level. Of course, he will be invited to attend the completion ceremony.
In addition, Bernard has also arranged tomorrow’s itinerary:
"Tomorrow morning, we will attend Sir Desmond's funeral, and the Prince Regent will also attend this funeral."
Michaela said "hmm" and continued to listen to her itinerary:
"And tomorrow afternoon, there will be a high-level meeting."
Hearing this, Michaela's eyes lit up!
Sure enough, it came!
