Chapter 114: The Newspaper

Miss Anne sat in the editorial hall of the City Journal while Da Liang, Brown, and Garcia's editor-in-chief were in their offices discussing how to report on admissions to the Wharf School of Magic.

The large hall is dotted with the desks of the editors of the daily newspapers, filled with books and manuscripts, and in the middle of the tables is a keyboard-type mechanical typewriter, and the whole hall smells of ink.

Originally, the sound of typewriters should have filled the entire editorial hall at this time. Reporters and editors worked hard to write books, and interns shuttled back and forth to deliver documents to and from where they should be delivered. On the drinking fountain in the corner, there will be a few people drinking coffee and discussing what news is happening in the city of Saloyan.

Tomorrow the city daily newspaper that the citizens of Saroyan will see will be born here.

But at this moment, all the employees of the city daily in the editorial hall squatted in their places with their heads in their hands, looking at the "cockroaches" around them in horror.

The agents of the Special Security Service had taken control of the city daily newspaper, they were very professionally scattered throughout the newspaper office, the doors of all rooms were opened, the work was immediately stopped, and everyone was ordered to squat on the ground, with their hands on their heads and not to touch anything. Each member of the Special Security Service is a magician, wearing a uniform dark gray trench coat, a felt hat, a magic wand in his hand, and an open security service armband on his arm.

Cold eyes stared at everyone here.

At this time, the police who received the alarm had already come to the door of the city daily newspaper, but they were facing the Special Security Bureau, and ordinary police forces were not at the same level as these highly trained killers. In particular, when the police heard that the special security bureau had occupied the city newspaper office and that it was the director and deputy director of the security bureau who personally led the team, they did not dare to forcibly break into the newspaper office.

The chief of police came, an official sent by the town hall, and a member of the council who was subsequently sent.

The newspaper is the mouthpiece of the Marcellus parliament to control public opinion, and if something goes wrong here, there will be a major omission in the parliament's next plan of action. If they fail to deal with the crisis of the city newspapers, they will put everyone in the other newspapers at risk, and if they feel that the council cannot protect them, then their pen will not be so sharp.

The Special Security Service must be removed from the city daily newspapers.

Councillor George, who was in charge of liaising with the newspaper to control public opinion, was sent by Parliament. He wondered why the Special Security Service had taken over the area as soon as he met with Garcia. Could it be that the leaking rumors...... But the Security Service could not have reacted so quickly. As soon as he returned to the Parliament building, he received an order from the speaker before he entered the office......

Garcia's office was tapped by someone from the Security Service?

Or did Garcia turn the tide?

Councillor George stepped out of the carriage, wearing a high black top hat and a cane in his hand, with a gold chain attached to the pocket watch peeking out of his chest. He did not immediately enter the newspaper office after coming down, but stood there for a moment and looked at the environment outside the newspaper office.

About 200 policemen gathered outside the main entrance of the newspaper office, using their vehicles to clear a bunker and pointing their pistols and rifles into the office. The door of the newspaper office was closed, and the "cockroaches" hiding behind the door could be seen in full shadows, and occasionally some light flickered inside, indicating that the "cockroaches" were using magic to strengthen their defenses, or preparing to attack.

The Imperial Army was not seen......

It seems that this time it was a private operation of the Special Security Service. However, the chief and deputy directors of the Security Bureau are here, and you can see how seriously they attach this incident.

Seeing Councillor George arrive, he was greeted by a plainclothes detective: "Hello Councillor George, I'm Inspector Brooke...... We, Director Leonard, and Miss Evelyn from the Mayor's Office have gone in. ”

Councillor George walked to the door of the newspaper office and asked the Inspector, "Is there any news coming out of there?" ”

"Not yet...... The other party is Anne Whitehead, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Whitehead, and her identity makes it difficult for us. After all, we still have the Empire above us......"

Councillor George had already walked to the door of the newspaper office, and he said sternly to the inspector: "Knowing that Miss Anne is inside, you dare to point a gun at the newspaper office...... The occupation of the city newspaper office by the Special Security Service must be because there are major cases related to the security of the empire and the provinces, what are you causing here?

Put away your guns, send more people to block the entire street, and be ready to cooperate with the Special Security Service in apprehending key criminals. ”

"Huh?" The Inspector clearly did not understand what Councilor George meant.

Councillor George reprimanded: "With so many people from the Special Security Service to arrest key criminals, how can you police help?" It's all on the front, and a single spell will blow you all away.

Go ahead and get more people...... Especially a police detective who knows magic.

Rubbish! ”

Councillor George hinted to the Inspector to increase his troops, and after the Inspector hurriedly ordered the police to reorganize and set up positions, he pushed the door and walked into the newspaper office.

The Special Security Service agents inside did not stop him, and led him into the editorial hall to meet Miss Anne.

The Chief of the Salo Young Police Commission, Chief Leonard, and Miss Evelyn, the officer of the City Hall, were here, their faces strange, and they all looked like they couldn't laugh or cry.

"Miss Anne, say hello to the Marquis on my behalf." Councillor George took off his hat and saluted Anne, and after seeing that there were no casualties in the newspapers, he continued: "According to the Treaty of Marcellus, the province of Marcellus has independent executive and judicial power. The Special Security Service is subordinate to the Empire and is a military unit...... The duty was to assist the Imperial garrison in providing military protection for the province of Marcellus.

I don't know where the city newspaper endangered the security of the empire and the provinces, and it took so many people from the Special Security Service to occupy it, especially ...... It also alarmed the honorable Miss Anne. ”

Anne was still a noble lady, sitting at the door of the editor-in-chief's office, trimming her nails with nail clippers, and standing beside her, the swaggering Deputy Director Kemir.

Facing Councilor George, Anne did not raise her head, continued to carefully polish the tips of her nails with a small file, and said lightly: "My father said it to me when he came...... Salo Yang is dangerous, let me leave nothing alone. Do what I want, and if the pressure is put on by the Special Security Bureau, let me help you top.

Deputy Chief Kemir did a very good job, and he took out the evil cultists and demons that none of you could solve...... Made my life in Saroyan really like a vacation.

Also go on a date with my fiancé, Brown Jennings, and enjoy sweet love.

I think I'm already very relieved and didn't give it to you...... What a hassle your council has caused. But today...... Garcia, the editor-in-chief of City Daily, dared to stand up to my fiancé, Brown Jennings. The reason was simply because my fiancé wanted the City Daily to interview the Dock Academy of Magic, where he worked.

The honest man of Brown Jennings, a professor of magic. Of course he couldn't argue...... Editor-in-chief of a city newspaper who is very good at swearing.

So here I am.

I'm not going to bully anyone, I don't get involved in their arguments, I'm just waiting outside the door for them to decide the winner...... I'll go. ”
