"So, now Sherlock is out of business?"

At a table in the newspaper office, Alan was talking to his servant Dom.

"Yes, Sherlock had already left the newspaper office after Argus came. Dom replied in a whisper.

"Was it squeezed out?"

"Not really, I think the main thing is to avoid suspicion. Dom said, deliberately looking at Allen's face, and after seeing that there was no abnormality, he continued: "Since the lord has decided to send someone to manage the newspaper, then there is already a hidden meaning, so Lord Sherlock left. ”

"Isn't there a bit of a contradiction?"

"This—" Dom hesitated and didn't know what to answer, but at last Alan waved his hand, and he didn't need to answer.

Because he could already see it from his expression.

What happened to the newspaper made Alan a little unexpected, he didn't expect that Taryn would change the management after buying the newspaper, didn't he think about the disadvantages of laymen managing insiders?

The current manager is named Argus, as a native here, Alan naturally will not fail to know him, Argus is the youngest son of a certain capable subordinate of Tyrann, and there is not much outstanding in terms of ability, and the only "ability" is about to be frivolous.

Because of this, Allen didn't educate him much before, who would have thought that he would become his "successor" now?

Speaking of which, this Argus is also a little related to Allen's old acquaintance, Brother Andrew, but Allen doesn't plan to give him face.

Just as he lowered his head and pondered, a surprised voice appeared in his ears again: "Young Master Allen!?"

Busy crowds are constantly walking around, most of them ignore the corner of the chat place because of work, but there are still a lot of sharp-eyed people. Allen, who was dressed in a cloak, came here without making a noise, but he was still recognized by many people one after another.

However, at his signal, these people who recognized themselves quickly reined in their voices, and of course, because of the system, they did not dare to make a loud noise.

"Seems to be much stricter than before?"

Secretly frowning, Alan asked a lot of questions one after another, and Dom answered honestly.

For these people, Alan is a very kind leader and nobleman, firstly, he does not bully the plane, and he is very generous, and the most important thing is that he is not very careful, so he used to be very popular.

It's just that now things are wrong, and after the newspaper changed its leadership, there was basically a big purge, and he couldn't see many of the old people now, and he didn't know many of the newcomers, which made Allen, who was silently observing, sigh.

"Young master, if you have no problem, I think I should go to work. Dom interrupted his thoughts with a slight embarrassment.

"Go ahead. Noticing his restraint, Alan waved his hand.

After all, he is not the master of this place now, it is normal for Dom to be in such a situation, after all, no one knows whether he intends to stay permanently or stay for a short time when he comes back, if he stays for a short time, he will be held accountable for delaying his work, and Dom is not sure if he will be able to find him to support him at that time.

After lingering on the first floor for a long time, nothing else happened except that more and more people recognized him, which made Alan shake his head slightly, and finally simply got up and walked upstairs.

"Did you really not hear it, or did you want to ignore it?" he was secretly amused.

It stands to reason that he had been here for so long that Agus could not have heard the news, but now it had been half an hour since he entered the newspaper office, and there was still no movement.

He had previously confirmed that Agus had been on it and had not left.

**

"You say, what is Young Master Allen doing at the newspaper office?"

"Come back and see, what else can you do?"

"Is it possible to take over again?"

"Impossible, Young Master Allen is now the lord of Bay City, how can he come back to manage the newspaper office. ”

"Argus is too much, the young master has not come down to greet him for so long. ”

"Probably busy. ”

"Are you joking? When has Agus been busy?"

Looking at his back as he went upstairs, many staff members on the first floor whispered, they didn't know the real reason for Allen's return, so most of them looked curious.

But before he got that Argus, Eren wasn't prepared to explain anything to them.

Outside a room on the second floor, Alan knocked on the door.

"Who?"

"Alan Chrissy. ”

The man in the door was silent, and then Alan heard a sound of footsteps, and the deliberately increased pace seemed a little deliberate.

Without him waiting, the door was opened, followed by a cry of "surprise": "Young Master Allen?"

It was a thin young man, about the same size as Allen, but the slightly darkened circles under his eyes made him look relatively old, and he was looking at Alan with his mouth wide open and a look of surprise.

If he had been stupid, Alan might have believed him, but at this point he just felt more and more funny.

"You're still so stupid, Argus. Patting the visitor on the shoulder with emotion, ignoring his darkened expression, Alan walked past Agus into it.

After looking at the furnishings in the room, there was nothing out of the ordinary, Alan turned to look at Argus, "How are you doing?"

"It's not bad to drag your blessing. Agus responded, feeling like he wasn't smiling.

When he was on the reef, he had always dealt with Allen very well, and because of his identity, of course, this guy could only keep being deflated, but he had no grudges in his heart, it was impossible.

Seeing that Alan found a chair and sat on it, Agus also sat opposite Ellen, and then saw him looking around, he couldn't help but ask, "Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, Master Allen, I don't know why you are here?"

"Do you believe me when I say I'm going to take over the newspaper?"

"This..."Agus's face changed slightly, but he didn't hesitate for long, and then smirked: "I'm sorry young master, if you need to take over the newspaper office, you must have the lord's personal approval. ”

"You should know that my father has been away from the reef lately. Alan raised an eyebrow.

"So it's a joke for you to say something like that. Agus's face was calm, and he said half-jokingly: "I haven't seen you for many days, and you are still so humorous." ”

"You know, I've always been a fan of jokes. Alan smiled.

"So you're learning to joke now?"

"You should see that I'm serious. ”

Seeing his smiling face, the smirk on Agus's face was somewhat restrained, and he said in a deep voice: "I can't agree to your request without the order of Lord Lord, in fact, it's very rude. ”

Without waiting for Alan to speak, Argus continued to add with a sneer: "Moreover, if it is Young Master Charles, I will obey, but you..." Although his expression was still "deferential", the meaning in Argus's mouth was already obvious, and he was not prepared to pay attention to Eren's stubble, because he was not the heir of this city.

"Okay. Despite the anticipation, Alan sighed, "You forced me." ”

"What?" said Argus.

"Nothing. Allen's upper body was spread out on the chair, the natural smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly cold, and his dark eyes looked at him quietly, and the dark color made Argus subconsciously want to dodge.

However, he didn't have time to dodge anymore, and an inexplicable brilliance trance appeared, and the thoughts in his mind suddenly changed drastically.

"And now?" said a slightly muffled voice in the room.

"Everything here is yours if you need it. Agus stood up and bowed, his expression full of deference.
