Chapter 41 This is subject to a fee
"Don't try to bribe me!"
Ellanla's tone was extremely firm, but her right hand quietly stretched forward, a move that caused the succubus Melina to laugh toothily: "What a body and honest!" ”
Who would have thought that Al Lanla's face was as thick as a city wall, and he quibbled without changing his face: "As the direct intelligence agency of the regent, I must report everything to the regent, so I will not accept bribes!" ”
"But!"
Just listen to Al Lanla's words: "As a stalker union, we also accept some orders, and this is for a fee. ”
In the spirit world, the system elf Tolina finally asked, "Michaela, have you decided?" ”
"I've decided!"
Michaela nodded solemnly.
"Well," Torina said with determination, "then I will support it, after all, we are one." ”
The opinions of the inner body were unanimous, and Michaela immediately looked up and asked Irlanla, "How much?" ”
Al Lanla said: "The standard price, 10 gold coins per person!" ”
10 gold, which is exactly equivalent to Michaela's money.
"Good!"
Michaela agreed: "However, you have to do it yourself." ”
Ellanla: "No problem. What about time? ”
Michaela: "Now! ”
Erlanla: "You're so ruthless! ”
Michaela: "During the day, I was pressured to sign the white paper for the mansion, and construction will start tomorrow, so it has to be resolved tonight. ”
"Well, then, I'm going to hurry."
As soon as the words fell, Al Lanla's figure disappeared out of thin air, she was the number one in the Stalker Guild, and in terms of technology, she was a professional.
Seeing Ellanla leave, Michaela finally ......
"Master!"
The succubus Melina's crispy bone charm voice accompanied the snake-like fingers, and wrapped it up again: "Let's do what we have to do, I'm also a professional!" ”
Damn,!
Michaela doesn't forget that there is such an abrasive goblin by her side, and after the experience of "nothing happened" last night, Michaela finally understands that there is a reason why the warlock is thin.
"You, you, you, why are you still here!"
Michaela immediately jumped to her feet, retreated to the corner, and asked, "Why didn't you return to the Void!" ”
The previous contract demons, whether it was the imp Kobertron or the Void Lord Armstrong, after completing their mission, they all took the initiative to return to the Void and did not linger in this world.
But the succubus Melina in front of Michaela has stayed directly since she was summoned, without the slightest intention of returning to the void, and did not follow Michaela to the office to work, which is already very face-saving for him.
Because:
"I'm yours!"
Melina, the succubus, didn't give Michaela any chance, and threw her to the ground. At the same time, Torina also dug up the content about the succubus Melina in a pile of old Michaela's memory files, and then asked:
"Well, Michaela, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
At this time, Michaela didn't have the heart to play any "good or bad" games with Torina, and said directly: "Don't sell it, just say it!" ”
Torina immediately pointed to the memory file and said, "The good news is that you are the owner of the succubus Melina, but the bad news is that Melina's contract doesn't seem to be quite the same as that of other demons, and she has a strong autonomy. ”
Michaela asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Tolina replied, "You can not listen to your orders." ”
it!
Finished!
Melina's body had already pressed against Michaela's body, and the gentle voice echoed in Michaela's ears: "Let's start, the night is still long tonight!" ”
"Oh, yes, and you!"
As soon as the words fell, in front of Torina, Melina's spiritual projection also appeared!
"You, how can you ......" Torina was stunned.
Melina's gaze swept around, recognizing that this was a high-level office, so she licked her lips and said:
"Little girl, you have a good environment here, did the master arrange it for you?"
"As for why I'm here, you'll soon see for yourself."
The long night was finally over.
Michaela says goodbye to Melina and leaves for work.
"Tolina, how are you feeling?"
On the way, Michaela touched her still somewhat dull head and asked, "Melina didn't do anything to you, did she?" ”
"I, I'm fine."
Tolina in the spiritual world was sitting on the ground with her hands and legs in her hands: "I just didn't expect that Melina would be able to enter your spiritual world. ”
Succubi have never been demons known for their martial arts, they are better at psychic abilities. At least for now, Michaela is away from Melina for the time being, as the latter won't go to work.
"Okay, let's talk about the key thing."
Michaela walked into the Tower of the Sunwrath, waved to Seidanna, and asked Torina, "Do you think I'll be arrested immediately when I enter the office?" ”
"Possibly."
Tolina nodded, "Irlanla will definitely tell Cuong about you, so what are you going to do?" Escape? ”
Michaela smiled slightly and said, "Without the consciousness of death, you are not qualified to kill." ”
Tolina then added, "Lelouch, are you ready to die?" What should I do if you die?"
Michaela said: "Don't worry, it won't be so extreme, Cuong is not a fool, Sir Desmond's death is only good and not bad for Cuong." ”
"That's right!"
Tolina also figured it out: "It's your plan to kill Sir Desmond, it has nothing to do with Ah Qiang, you don't have to dirty your hands, you can still get benefits, he can't laugh!" ”
"Alright, the office is here."
Michaela took a deep breath and pushed open the door to the office, and the person who greeted him was:
"Minister, morning!"
"Ah, Chancellor, here you are."
There was no gendarmerie, no vigilantes, only Private Secretary Bernard and Permanent Secretary Humphrey were in the office waiting for the Chancellor's arrival.
"Hello."
While Michaela waved her hand, she also sat on her minister's throne: "What's the ...... today?"
Before she could finish speaking, Michaela noticed a front-page headline of The Sunshine on her desk:
"Sadness! Sir Desmond, a famous man in Silvermoon City, died of illness. ”
Well, he's dead!
Michaela was so excited that she even had a smile on her face......
"Chancellor."
At this time, Humphrey suddenly spoke, Michaela felt that something was wrong and immediately restrained her smile, looked up at the other party, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I think today's front page was interesting."
That knew Humphrey actually said with a smile: "Because the minister finally knows how to keep a low profile and give the content of the front page to others." ”
"Huh?"
Michaela raised her eyebrows and asked directly, "Sir Humphrey, Sir Desmond is your friend, right?" Aren't you sad when he's dead? ”
"Sadness? Well, yes, I'm sad, I met him at the upper class banquet of the old Silvermoon City era. ”
However, Humphrey still did not stop smiling, but Bernard on the side said in a regretful tone:
"Sir Desmond is our benefactor in Silvermoon City, and during his lifetime he volunteered his fortune to support the city's reconstruction."
"Uh-huh, yes."
Humphrey echoed in a strange way, "His glorious sacrifice is a great loss to us, isn't it, Minister?" ”
You've all said that, can I still object to that?
Michaela naturally followed the other man's words and said, "Sir Desmond is a model for all of us by giving his fortune without expecting anything in return, and we should learn from him." ”
"Michaela, your looks so ugly!"
Only Tolina told the truth: "Sir Desmond gave out his fortune in order to get a piece of the pie in the future, he is a businessman, he is a plutocracy, how can he not ask for anything in return!" ”
Hehe, doesn't Michaela know she's?
It was only when he noticed that Humphrey did not seem to be at all sad about Sir Desmond's death, and even a little excited, that he already sensed that something was wrong.
"That's right, Humphrey."
Michaela immediately asked, "Why did you introduce Sir Desmond to me yesterday?" ”
Humphrey smiled, "Because of you." ”
"Me?" Michaela was a little puzzled.
Humphrey is happy to explain: "Because you're not like us, you're not content to sit in an office, you're willing to go to the grassroots and do things that we simply wouldn't be able to do." ”
At first, Michaela didn't understand until Bernard on the side interjected: "We don't have any other ideas." ”
Hehe!
"I see!" Even Tolina understood.
No wonder!
Michaela narrowed her eyes and glanced at Humphrey, who was smiling all over her face, and said in her heart: You are still the most chicken thief of the old bureaucrat!
Sir Humphrey and Sir Desmond only met at an upper-class banquet, and to put it bluntly, they were only official and business friendships, not true friends.
Now, Sir Desmond is ready to blackmail the government, and the mansion is the beginning, but the prestige of the government cannot be challenged, and Sir Humphrey will of course use means against him.
And that means is yourself.
Because Michaela himself is not a bureaucrat in the true sense of the word, he will do a lot of things that bureaucrats would not do at all!
"Could it be that Humphrey also wanted Desmond to die?" Torina asked.
"No!"
Michaela speculated: "Humphrey's original plan may have been to use my hand to threaten Desmond to expel him, but he didn't expect me to kill him. ”
"Besides, I guess if Humphrey wanted to do something to Desmond, it means that the regent must have been dissatisfied with Desmond for a long time."
Thinking of this, Michaela finally put her mind at ease:
"In other words, even if the Lord Regent would punish me for Desmond's death, it would not be too strong, because he was the one who benefited the most."
Back in reality, Michaela pretended to ask Humphrey: "What about yesterday's white paper on the mansion?" ”
Humphrey smiled knowingly: "Because the person involved died unexpectedly, the content of the white paper is invalid." ”
Bernard was also very clever and immediately asked, "So, Chancellor, can I destroy that white paper according to the document destruction procedure?" ”
"Of course, Bernard." How could Michaela refuse!
"Yes, Chancellor."
Although Bernard sometimes talks nonsense, in terms of business ability, he is indeed an excellent personal secretary and has arranged everything for Michaela.
For example, today's itinerary:
"Minister, this afternoon you are going to attend the completion ceremony of the fountain in King's Court Square and the wall in the Garden Market."
The above two projects were solved by Michaela himself, and he was of course invited to attend the completion ceremony.
In addition, Bernard has also arranged tomorrow's itinerary:
"Tomorrow morning, we will attend Sir Desmond's funeral, and this time, Lord Regent will also attend."
Michaela let out an "um" and continued to listen to her schedule:
"And tomorrow afternoon, there will be a high-level meeting."
Hearing this, Michaela's eyes lit up!
Sure enough, it came!
