Chapter 44: Veteran
"Joyce, you idiot, did you get carried away by being a full-fledged member of the squad, a guy like you deserves to be hacked to death......" Bodean Arthur's office was closed, but his roar still reached the second-floor hallway.
The slightly fat middle-aged man's scolding and shouting lasted for five minutes before Joyce opened the office door and walked out.
Finding a sweet girl near the reception table at the staircase, looking over with a smile, while Elena was happy with resentment, Joyce was embarrassed to go to the open lounge.
"Joyce, the Commissioner seems to be in a bad mood today. ”
In the rest room, Carvi Anthony, a middle-aged man with a big chin holding a newspaper, smiled when he saw Joyce come in.
"I've been sprayed by the director, and I don't feel very good!"
Finding the vice-captain Sura Sylvia smiling, Joyce sighed helplessly.
"Why are you late?"
Arrin leaned over and asked in a whisper, apparently afraid that Joyce would affect his interests.
"I've had a lot of bad luck lately, and things don't go my way. ”
Joyce felt that he had also been wronged, and if it hadn't been for Elena's room to sleep last night, he might not have woken up late.
"The roar of the director is like a strong wind in the desert of Bolari, if you can withstand it for five minutes, the thickness of your skin is too hard!" Yarlin's whispered words made the Sula and the others in the rest room unable to hold back their laughter anymore.
"How do you feel like you're not comforting me?"
Joyce breathed a sigh of relief, her face showing embarrassment, and looked at a well-proportioned young man she didn't recognize.
"Joyce, you're late today, and I haven't introduced you yet, this is Vandy Blanchett from the Watchmen. Vice-captain Sula gestured to the well-proportioned black-haired youth.
"Hello, my name is Joyce Rupert and I've just become a member of the squad. Joyce lowered her profile and welcomed the brunette youth.
During the handshake, Joyce noticed that the black-haired young man had calluses on his right thumb and forefinger.
"I've heard in the past that you often have calluses on your hands when you shoot guns, but it doesn't seem to look like it. Joyce had some suspicion in her heart.
"In addition to Fandee, there are three other people, Sophie Turner, you should have met, the girl who is studying and receiving on the second floor, Jason Hangers and Cliff are learning to guard the arsenal, Bernard Rossi will be here in the evening, the four newcomers who came to MI this time are all young, you can get along well. "Vice-captain Sula obviously said it to Joyce.
Joyce's embarrassment wasn't pretended, although he had come to the Traveler's Bar a few days earlier, but for the Einsatzgruppen, he was a true newcomer.
From Sula's introduction to Fandy Blanchett, Joyce knew that he was no newcomer.
The Watcher Legion is well-known throughout the Lawson Empire, alongside the Night's Watch, and their duty is more to guard the Grey Mist.
"Vice-Captain, yesterday the Commissioner said that I should be in charge of the case of the successive disappearances of the street girls, and the case of Miss Caroline's abduction must also be investigated. "When Joyce came, Yarlin said to Sula Sylvia.
"You can gather the military personnel, take two more revolvers, and bring Jason Hangers, who studied in the arsenal, to teach the gangsters in Rensu City some lessons. Sulla, the short-haired brown woman, thought about it for a moment and agreed to Yarlin's request for action.
"Has the Commissioner approved the secret items?"
Just when Arrin's expression lit up, Sula was still a little uneasy.
"Approve the receipt of the eleventh level guardian relic, the sword of the thief. Yarlin took out a piece of approval from his bosom and said confidently.
"Almost, if Iron Will not resist, just knock and knock, and try to kill as little as possible. Hearing the Guardian Secret mentioned by Arrin, Sula nodded.
"What to do, let's go, I'll go to the arsenal and the vault to get something. Before Joyce could react, Arrin urged him.
"I haven't read the paper yet!"
Joyce sighed silently, somewhat worried.
Although Arrin won the case, the money was predictable, but Joyce, who had experienced a bloody battle with the gangsters, was afraid of any accidents.
Joyce didn't want to kill, let alone be killed.
"Joyce, yours. ”
Elena, who was leading the class on the second floor, saw that Joyce and Arrin were going downstairs and gave him a certificate and a key.
"Sergeant Joyce Rupert, Special Operations Team, Lensu City, Orlan Province. Looking at the small document with the mechanical refining seal of the Rosen Empire, the expression on Joyce's face was slightly complicated.
"It's the key to the locker with the right military uniform for your size. Elena also took out a document and shook it, it belonged to hers.
"It's not necessarily easy to go out of the province of Orandu, but it's better than nothing!" Joyce sighed that the sergeant was not an officer, and he was quickly relieved, after all, he was a newcomer who had just joined the military intelligence department of Lunsu City, and he had to work slowly.
In the military, if you don't have a family background to fight for, you have to accumulate merits, and Joyce is not a person with great ambitions, so he doesn't take it very seriously when he thinks about it.
"Do you want to change into a military uniform first?"
Arrin smiled at Joyce, apparently he had a set of things too.
"Forget it, let's go underground. ”
Joyce shook his head, thinking that it was better to wear civilian clothes, otherwise he would be targeted by the Futu Alliance or the Death Secret Society, and he was afraid that he would not end well.
"In the future, it's better to be a pacifist as much as possible, and try to use communication to solve problems without thinking about fighting and killing. Joyce admonished herself in her heart.
"By the way, Elena, don't forget to ask for a handyman, as well as a pocket watch and a walking stick. As she was about to go downstairs, Joyce suddenly thought of something and turned to remind Elena.
Elena expressed resentment at Joyce's request, but after he left, she thought she had to buy him something good.
"What are you going to do this time?"
Arriving in the basement, before Arlin retrieved his weapon, he asked Joyce with a smile.
"Can you move Iron Will?"
Joyce was tempted to say that the money was taken as it was, but he was cautious about Arlin.
"Since the director and the deputy captain said that they can move, what is there to be afraid of, not only the Iron and Blood Society, but also the Iron and Blood Society, taking this opportunity, the gangsters in Lunsu City are counted as one, and it will definitely be difficult to break them out first, and if they don't give us Jinluo. Arrin looked frustrated.
"This guy is ruthless!"
Joyce secretly slandered, fortunately Yarlin is not a big official, otherwise he doesn't know what it looks like, and now he has to catch up with the chimpanzee and his father.
"Bell! bell!"
Arrlin banged on the black bars of the arsenal, and soon the bearded Cliff Colby appeared.
"Mr. Cliff, there is action, Deputy Captain Sulla said that he had to take two revolleys, and he had enough ammunition, so let's have a box, and the Deputy Captain said that Jason Hangers, who had just come to the arsenal to study, also went out to exercise. Yarlin said to the bearded man through the window.
"What action?"
Cliff, with a hairy beard, didn't move, and a pair of small eyes stared at Jarrin inquiring, and he also looked at Joyce.
"The Commissioner put me and Joyce in charge of investigating the case of the Street Girl. Arrin didn't say anything about the Iron Will, and seemed to be wary of the bearded Cliff.
"Yarlin, it's okay for you to take a weapon, but a newcomer, what is there to exercise, why don't you think about it like this, count me as one, the weapons and ammunition must be sufficient, if there is anything, I can still help you, except for Joyce, do you still have expectations for the newcomer?"
"I'm still too innocent, Mr. Cliff Colby is a little shameless!" Joyce understood, Cliff was saying that he couldn't expect a newcomer to cook.
"By the way, that day in the Flame Tender Ballroom, this bearded man also looted the belongings of the deceased, and he seems to be a veteran. Joyce remembered what had happened later that night.
"Cliff, Joyce and I paid the price for this case. Arrlin's face turned grim, expressing his displeasure at the bearded man.
"If it weren't for the fact that you two boys are very smart, I wouldn't be with you, Jin Luo is not earned by one person or two people, you had better think about the long term, I am not a young chick, whether it is in weapons and ammunition, or other aspects, I can provide you with support. Cliff whispered later, and the little eyes picked up.
"This Cliff is in the arsenal every day, and if he is offended, it will definitely be difficult to extract the weapon. Joyce felt that the bearded man, like a roadblocker, was now sitting on the ground and collecting money.
"There is a big difference between two and three, how much do you want?" Jarrin looked ruthless, but quickly negotiated with Cliff.
"After all, it's the case you took over, seven of you and three of you, and I'll take it as a point for the three of us afterwards, I can't say that it's over, the deputy captain, the captain, and the director have to express themselves. Cliff held out three fingers and said in a very low voice.
"Awesome!"
Joyce was secretly surprised in his heart, although he entered this circle, there was still more to learn and consider.
"Get your weapons out, can you go now?"
Arrin apparently happily agreed to the bearded man's request, urging him.
"There's no problem at all, you come in, you can take whatever weapon you like, it's a shoulder-mounted cannon, no matter who he is, he can be blasted to the point that there is no scum left. The bearded man opened the door to the arsenal, and the statement of the big thorn made Joyce's face twitch even more.
"I still think that Mr. Cliff values the safety of the arsenal more than his life, and is a dutiful man, and he still has such an operation!" Joyce looked at the bearded man, and his messy heart sighed desperately.
