"Umm…"
After finishing the stack of newspapers and magazines delivered that morning, the Red-haired Director blinked in surprise, finding the headlines peculiar but unable to pinpoint why.
After reading and rereading twice over, she finally realized why these headlines felt odd...
Because of Leon!
Among all these publications, not a single one ntioned Leon's na, yet the theater incident, Charl Departnt Store's compensation, the Rebel movents, and even the royal family's internal struggles seed intertwined with him.
Enough to tinker around with, indeed.
Shaking her head helplessly, the Red-haired Director idly flipped through the newspapers while subconsciously twirling her vivid red hair with her slender white fingers, pondering.
The events of Leon's drunken state a couple of days ago had truly shocked her.
Although she didn't know what the "Immortal of Liquor" Leon referred to was, sothing potent enough to partially resist [Slaughter Blood Hair]at a Third-Class Cleanser level likely had Numbered Object potential, with surprisingly strong life-saving capabilities.
So... with the bureau shorthanded, should she add more responsibilities to his plate?
"Knock, knock knock."
Just as the Red-haired Director set down the newspaper and opened her drawer, soone knocked on her office door.
"Director, it's ."
Pioni?
Hearing the voice from outside the door, the Red-haired Director slightly raised an eyebrow before responding,
"Co in."
As the Red-haired Director spoke, a blurry silver figure eerily "seeped" through the office door from outside, walking slowly to the desk.
"This is the cleanup report for the mission."
Placing a few folded papers on the desk, the "Little Silver Man" reported gently,
"The mission proceeded very smoothly, with the well leading to the Black Plague Tide blocked, no casualties among the townsfolk, and all related personnel's mories have been cleared by the [Illusion Can]; no one rembers those plague-spreading creatures."
"Very impressive."
After briefly glancing through the desk's [Black Plague Well Incident Cleanup Report], the Red-haired Director nodded in satisfaction and complinted with a smile,
"Swift and efficient as ever, well done Pioni. Besides Emma and Leon, you're the one who reassures
the most in the bureau."
Emma and Leon?
Hearing the Red-haired Director's words, the Little Silver Man couldn't help but pause slightly before smilingly asking,
"Director, the Leon you ntioned, is he the Level Three Cleanser who just joined the branch less than two months ago? To be praised so sincerely by you, is his strength formidable?"
"Well... if I have to say, just average, I suppose?"
Reviewing the Anomalous Objects Leon possessed in her mind, the Red-haired Director uncertainly remarked,
"If we're talking about the Leon Value… that is, the extent of being Corrosion by Anomalous Objects, he's roughly on par with Level Three Cleansers who joined two or three years ago, still falling short compared to you all.
But he has a clear mind and diverse thods, seemingly able to handle any situation and complete tasks with extra accomplishnts... hmm... overall, most of the ti, he gives a reliable impression."
After giving Leon quite a high Evaluation, the Red-haired Director glanced at the thoughtful "Little Silver Man," then added with a smile,
"Pioni, how about it? Interested in eting Leon and maybe taking him to your 'Heartache Land' to see if he can solve your issue?"
"Well... maybe not."
Emanating a faint silver glow obscuring his face, the individual sighed and shook his head,
"Director, it's not that I don't trust your judgnt, but no matter how exceptional he is, he's only been a Level Three Cleanser at the branch for a short period, and as for the ibis Silver Mine, even you and Miss Emma couldn't solve it, so what can he do?
Besides, as you know, every return to ibis Silver Mine ans... sigh! Unless absolutely sure, I really don't want to go back there, sorry."
"No problem, I just suddenly thought of him and casually suggested. Whether or not to ask for his help is entirely up to you."
Rejected, the Red-haired Director remained unfazed, responding cheerfully,
"But Pioni, don't underestimate Leon due to his lack of seniority. Without him, I might not have managed to overthrow the Aquarius Director. The secrets on Little Lyon probably exceed even yours.
So, I still recomnd, if you have no other solutions, consider taking him to the Silver Mine. If Leon doesn't succeed, you rely suffer a little, but if he does, your future will be much easier."
"I... I'll think it over."
"No hurry, take your ti to consider."
As the Red-haired Director spoke, she flipped through the stack of press on the desk. When her gaze montarily paused on the advert for "Ami Liquor's Couple Wine Big Sale, Manufacturer Rewarding Custors, Couple Combo 40% Off," she instinctively folded the magazine page, then handed over another booklet that had been underneath.
"The silver mine issue can wait, but this matter is more urgent… take a look at this first."
Curiously receiving the booklet, the "Little Silver Man" read the title on the first page aloud.
"Sky Clipper Titable... Crolock Kingdom's Sniffers... Private Cabin... Private Ship... Director, is this my next mission?"
"It's not just your next mission, it's a mission for both you and Leon. Leon discovered so very dangerous situations. Without a bit of intervention, the Kingdom may face an extrely grueso war in the future."
Correcting the "Little Silver Man" Pioni's assumption and emphasizing the mission's significance, the Red-haired Director seriously stated,
"My initial plan was to have Emma accompany him, but Emma's off clearing Scales Gold Sect's gatherings, Jerry's 'friends' are ineffective aboard the Sky Clipper, and Tom's dice effect is unstable, so all things considered, you're the most suitable.
Pioni, those Crolock Kingdom Sniffers will arrive at the Boarding Tower in three days. I need you to collaborate with Leon, ddle with the docunts those Sniffers hold, and modify their mories...
Finally, failure is not an option for this mission; it must succeed!"
