Chapter 39 Getting What You Want
In the Gerald Manor, Yarlin, who had left the mansion, couldn't wait to take out a roll of banknotes full of hardware from a small cloth bag.
"Joyce, you didn't notice that at the mention of Arnoch-Anderville, Mr. Baron seemed strange. Arrin whispered as he tapped the bill.
"Monsieur Baron must know Arnochie Anderville, and he told us to go when he got the news, and I don't know if he thinks we're too young to expect anything, or if he's going to take matters into his own. Joyce also had her eyes on the banknotes.
In Joyce's mind, Svanco Gerod, as a baron of status, should not be afraid of a gang leader.
"How old is Arnold Anderville?"
Joyce inquired about Arlin, who was counting the bills, for details on Miss Caroline's abduction.
"I should be nineteen years old this year. ”
After Yarlin responded casually, his hand moved, as if he had thought of something.
"In terms of age, Baron Gerald is so much worse than Anderville, can there be any relationship between them?" Yarlin vaguely guessed.
"Whether Baron Gerald only knows the gang leader, or if it involves the grievances of the previous generation, the matter is more ideal for us here. Joyce looked at the castle-like mansion.
"Two hundred and fifty gold for one person. ”
Arrin counted the money and gave half of it to Joyce.
"I'd better take two hundred, Miss Caroline's news came from your channel, and when you just faced Baron Gerald, you were also talking. Joyce thought the number was a bit two, and returned ten hardware bills to Arrlin.
Arrin glanced at Joyce in surprise, but did not refuse.
Having declined the butler's carriage to see them off, Joyce and Jarrin left the manor on foot and got into the carriage that had been paid to wait for them.
"Do you want to go to the bank first?"
Arrin asked Joyce with a smile, in a rather good mood.
"I don't need to, you can help me keep an eye on whether there is a herb shop with better conditions, I want to rent it and try to do some business. Although Elena had taken the eighty-three gold bills, Joyce had no intention of saving money.
"You want to explore the alchemy sequence?"
Arrin's expression moved, and he faintly felt Joyce's ambition.
"Seeing Angela's appearance, I have to leave a way out for myself. Joyce leaned back in her chair and said with emotion.
"It's a good identity to work for the Imperial military, but there is also sadness, in fact, the people under the military intelligence department are mostly poor worms, maybe one day they will never come back when they go on a mission. Yarlin said with a smile.
The carriage moved slowly, and during this time, Yarlin went to the Orlandu branch in the Moya district to deposit the money to rest assured.
"Isn't this guy going to get that much money for the first time?" Joyce, who remained in the carriage, muttered.
After a while, when Yarlin returned, the smile in his eyes could not help but be difficult to hide.
"It's easy to rent a shop, and I'm sure I'll find it for you within three days. Yarlin assured Joyce with confidence.
Joyce didn't say much, and the carriage returned to Golden Rose Street, and it was already dark.
"Jingle bell!"
The doorbell rings at the Traveler's Bar, and the freckled girl looks up to see Joyce in a tuxedo.
"Welcome back, Joyce. ”
The freckled girl was a little surprised, but she still smiled and greeted the tuxedo youth.
"The smell of Rossi Surgical Hospital was so bad that I couldn't stand it for an extra day there. "Joyce is in good spirits and maintaining his decency.
"Do you need me to order a working meal for you?"
Loren looked at Joyce, not realizing that he was seriously injured.
"I'll have to go up first and explain the situation to the commissioner. Joyce looked relaxed, but went upstairs without delay.
"Joyce, congratulations on your recovery. ”
On the second floor of the bar, the white-haired Teresa greeted Joyce and reminded the commissioner, Bodan Arthur, that the door to his office was open.
"Thanks to the goddess of life, I survived. ”
Joyce clasped his hands in vain, making no secret of himself as a believer in the goddess of life.
Outside the Commissioner's office, where Bodan Arthur and Bazel seemed to be talking, Joyce did not go inside, but waited in the hallway outside the door.
"Come in. ”
Bodean Arthur glanced at Joyce and called to him.
"Director, I recovered at Rossi Surgical Hospital and will be back today to report. Joyce entered the office and squeezed out a smile.
"Joyce, do you know what a catastrophe this time was, the number of dead and wounded in the Flame Tenderness Ballroom has reached seventy-eight, and it has even appeared in the Lunsu Morning News. The slightly chubby middle-aged man said with a dissatisfied face.
"Director, Yarlin and I have found out about the case of the girl's disappearance one after another, and it is likely to be related to the Iron Will. Joyce reported solemnly.
As for the Predators, Bodrian Arthur did not immediately take a stand, and the office fell silent for a moment.
"Didn't I deserve to be treated like a hero when I fought bloody battles with the gangsters?" Joyce really wanted to punch the slightly chubby middle-aged man in the face at this time.
"The failure of the previous search and rescue operation in the Notting Great Forest, and what happened to Joyce and Yarlin on Steel Flower Street, was a turning point that guided public opinion and attention, and his performance can be called heroic and tenacious. "Captain Bazel, still in a leather trench coat, said a word for Joyce.
"Captain, you're so right!"
Joyce secretly sighed in his heart that he still made a good impression on Angela when he was there in front of the captain.
"Here's your pistol and the library key wheel, don't lose it again. The slightly chubby middle-aged man opened the drawer and pulled out a Sarota pistol.
Despite disagreeing with the slightly chubby middle-aged man's claims, Joyce took the pistol and the key wheel, knowing the importance of both things.
"In view of the misfortune that happened to you while you were out to find out the news, the department will give you ten gold in compensation for your work. Bodean Arthur signed another indemnity note, indicating that Joyce could get the money from Mrs. Sansey, who was in charge of the finances.
"Aren't you leaving?"
Seeing that Joyce took the things and the compensation slip and did not leave, the slightly chubby middle-aged man glanced at him impatiently and said.
Standing in Bodan Arthur's office, Joyce just didn't leave, although he didn't say anything, but in front of Bazel, who was in a fur trench coat, his eyes expressed his dissatisfaction with the slightly fat middle-aged man, obviously protesting against his mistreatment of his subordinates.
"Don't underestimate me, if you don't give me the reward I deserve, I'll embarrass you with a sign at the Traveler's Bar. Joyce looked directly at the slightly chubby middle-aged man, with a sense of not giving up until he reached his goal.
"Joyce, you actually don't have much ability, the MIA can recruit others, and I believe that there are many people rushing to do the monthly salary of Sijinluo. "Bodean Arthur's statement implies a threat.
"When the director recruited me, he didn't say that, for the military intelligence department, what is needed is to be brave and loyal, not just recruit a random person, who can fight bloodily in the face of gangsters and extraordinary people, and it is not difficult for the department to solve my salary. Hearing that the slightly fat middle-aged man was not good at talking, Joyce was no longer polite.
"Joyce has the foundation of the identification sequence, maybe he is a talent, and the elder Bolton also thinks that he has the possibility of training, if he can become a secret cultivator, it will be of even more help to the task force, and the director should let him try it instead of giving the opportunity to outsiders. Seeing that the slightly fat middle-aged man's face sank, Captain Bazel said at the right time.
"There is no secret medicine in the department, and it is estimated that even if it is reported, it will not be approved, and the little leader of the Iron and Blood Society, Croton, who was killed in the Flame Tenderness Ballroom this time, has secreted a mysterious trait that can be used as your reward if you dare to try. The slightly fat middle-aged man frowned and said stiffly.
Hearing Bodrian Arthur mention the mysterious nature of Croton, the man in the trench coat seemed to want to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
"It's not a secret medicine, isn't it dangerous to directly try to absorb the mysterious properties secreted by the secret cultivator after death?" Joyce took a deep breath and confirmed to the slightly fat middle-aged man.
"It's just relative, even if the secret medicine neutralizes the mysterious properties and can be better absorbed by people, it is not without backlash. The slightly chubby middle-aged man did not hesitate to take care of it.
"Okay, I want that mystical trait, can I get it now? Also, my salary has to be adjusted, and I want to be a regular member of the squad. Joyce was clearly determined.
"The contract went to Teresa to change, and the treatment was the same as Elena's. "The slightly fat middle-aged man already has a fire.
"Teressa. ”
Joyce arrived at the office door and summoned the white-haired girl.
"The Commissioner has approved me to become a full member of the task force, please give me a new contract. Joyce seemed to be getting what she wanted, and she didn't care about the slightest reserve.
"This scoundrel shouldn't have brought him back before. ”
Hearing Joyce go downstairs, the slightly fat middle-aged man whispered in the office.
"Old Bolton is old, and he still has to go on a mission, so he can't be busy, and Angela can't do it, and the team needs to replenish some manpower. Bazel, dressed in a fur trench coat, stood up from the sofa.
"Bazel, you go to the vault to get out of the mysterious properties of Croton, I don't want any more trouble. The slightly fat middle-aged man tried to calm his mood and signed a list for Bazel.
Joyce, who had gone downstairs, went straight to the underground vault to find Mrs. Sancy and received the workers' compensation.
"Desperate work is only ten gold Luo, maybe a full member of the military intelligence department, the compensation for work-related injuries will be more. Joyce, who carried two hundred gold Luo coins, was deeply aware that people have no windfall, no wealth, no horses, no night grass and no fat.
Joyce had already given birth to a secret aura, and he didn't care too much about what kind of mysterious characteristics he got for this reward, but he just wanted to take this opportunity to naturally embark on the path of secret cultivation.
"Crowton's mysterious characteristics are a wisp of blood, which seems to have something in common with Angela's secret source and secret vein, when the director mentions Crotton's mysterious characteristics, the captain seems to have something to say, is this the reason?" Joyce went to wait outside the library, silently recalling the details of the office just now.
