vs 44 Sean's portfolio
To Pedi's surprise, the destination is a grocery store.
There is a lot of traffic near this grocery store, and directly opposite is a small square, where the sounds of children frolicking and adults can be heard clearly, and next to the grocery store is the market, where the sound of selling and bargaining is particularly heard.
The grocery store is located at the entrance of the market, and at the moment, there are quite a few customers shopping for goods.
Pedi looked around him, and the mercenaries he had hired had followed. Immediately, he withdrew his gaze from looking around, casually glanced at the code on the stone steps outside the grocery store, played with a product on the outside of the store, and then paced into the store.
"Distinguished guest, what do you need to have?" Maybe it's because of Pedi's fresh face, the owner of the grocery store immediately stepped forward to ask Pedi after he entered the store, the boss is very thin and short, and when he asked Pedi, he subconsciously looked at the saber hanging from Pedi's waist.
"I want to buy a dagger!" Pedi didn't look at the boss, he casually looked at the shop.
"You should go to the weapons shop, guest. β
"But they didn't have what I wanted. Pedi smiled and said, "I heard you have the best ironwood in the Klan Collar here, and I need to use him for the hilt of my sword." β
The boss was stunned for a moment, then took a serious look at Pei Di and said, "Wait a minute!" After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the other customers who were picking up the goods, and then dismissed these customers as quickly as he could.
Pedi glanced at the grocery store, not to mention that the goods were good, and the prices marked were at least half as cheap as those in the inner city.
In less than a minute, the boss came up to Pedi again and said, "You come with me." β
With that, he turned and walked to the back door of the shop, and skillfully pulled out the key to open the rusty iron door.
"Crunch!"
The sound of the iron door turning is uncomfortable.
The moment he pushed the door open, a cold air came from the surface, and the boss motioned for Pei Di to go in with him, and he quickly got in. Peddy's aura vanished, and he surveyed everything in the room, stepping in after making sure he was relatively safe.
After passing through a narrow alleyway, Pedi was taken to a staircase by the boss, who pointed to the dark hallway and said, "Mr. Sean is up there!"
After that, he went back the way he came.
Just then, there was a slight sound of footsteps from upstairs.
"Sir Pedy?" said Sean's voice in the hallway.
"It's me!" Peddy replied, gently removing the iron sword from his waist and holding it in his hand, and then walked upstairs step by step...
The upstairs room didn't have a single window, and the oil lamps needed to be lit during the day, and the smell of decay in the cramped room went straight to Pedy's nose.
"Let's cut a long story short, sir. Sean sat at a dark square wooden table, and as he sat down, he pointed to the chair across from him and motioned for Pedi to sit down.
Pedi slowly approached, then sat down with his iron sword on his knees, "I'm listening!"
Sean's eyes sparkled in the dim light of the lights, and he asked, "Did you get any information about what happened at the headquarters of the Guard Service last night?"
"Of course!" Pedi nodded, "What a surprise, I didn't expect Chief Bernie..."
"Sir, we don't have to go around in circles!" Sean interrupted Pedy's tentative conversation, "Gus El is using this assassination to purge opposition voices from within the guards, and according to the news coming out of the dungeon, Sir himself admits that he is from the Tower of Dawn." β
"Thisβ" Pei Di was stunned, obviously not reacting.
"The guard has always had their people, and at this moment, the real officers at the top of the guard department are facing the purge of Gus El's and his henchmen!" Sean stared at Pedi with blazing eyes.
"This is impossible, although the Security Service is an independent department, if Sir Gus El dares to ignore the rules and arrest the top of the Security Service, the Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor will intervene. "Not only will he fail to achieve his goal, but he will lose his position as chief of security and even be exiled." β
"But he did exactly that, and the Cabinet and His Majesty the Emperor did not react for the whole morning. Sean's face was solemn, "He should have the support of Lion Castle!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor?" asked Pei Di subconsciously.
"Maybe the Cabinet!" said Sean.
Pedi was stunned, the cabinet was in charge of his father, Duke Nick, and he reacted that the other party was testing himself.
In this regard, Peidi could only be expressionless and silent.
Sean chuckled a rare chuckle at Pedy's appearance, and he put his hands on the table and nudged it forward.
Pei Di subconsciously looked over, only to see that under the illumination of the lamp, a file bag sealed with a magic circle slowly appeared in his eyes in the darkness.
"Gusel will not really control the Guards, no one has been able to really control the Guards since the establishment of the Guards, because there is a group of people who have always adhered to the oath made by their ancestors hundreds of years ago, and they and their descendants will make those who try to get their hands on the Guards pay a heavy price!" Sean whispered, as if reciting some kind of incantation.
Pei Di's palm holding the iron sword unconsciously tightened, and a faint holy power gathered around him.
"You don't seem to trust me!" Sean also shone with divine power.
"Why should I trust you?" asked Pedi rhetorically.
Sean was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a few seconds and said, "But I trust you very much, and I have to trust you, this time the challenge faced by the guard department is more brutal than the previous three hundred years..."
"I'm not interested in that!" said Pedi, remembering his father's words that night.
"I am asking you as an ordinary police officer, Sheriff Pedy!" Sean said solemnly, "If you have not forgotten the glory of your ancestors, you should not refuse my request. β
Peddy sneered, "Glory is long gone, and I can only smell the smell of decay now. β
Sean said, "Decay will be a thing of the past, glory will come again!
"Let's get down to business, you said you had a limited amount of time!" Pedi didn't expect Sean to be so obsessed with this issue, and he hated it the most.
Sean's tone froze, he subconsciously looked at the sealed file bag in the middle of the table, and the fiery look in his eyes dimmed a lot, "These are the secret files of the Supervision Section lurking in various places inside the Security Department, they are the real power of the Supervision Section, I have ordered them not to take any action without an order in code, I..."
"Wait!" Pedi had to interrupt Sean, who already knew what Sean was up to, "you want to give these people to me?"
"Yes!"
"Do you think it's appropriate to rule them in my capacity?"
Sean stared at Pedi and asked, "Are you a citizen of the Empire?"
"Of course!"
"Then there is no problem. β
Pei Di shook his head, "Every human on the continent of Ailan is a citizen of the Empire. β
"But there's a high and low!" said Sean.
"Why did you find me?" said Pedy, cautious.
