Chapter 697: Chapter 632: The Revelation and Counterasures
[Glutton God: There are only wrongly called nas but no wrong titles. Among the Clean-up Bureau’s most outstanding group of Cleaners, one will inevitably beco famous with each task and gradually earn a universally recognized unique title.
And after undergoing several highly dangerous tasks, the "Glutton God" of the Clean-up Bureau has successfully replaced "Glutton God Leon" as your most recognized exclusive designation.]
[Effect when equipped: Due to your widely known peculiar hobby, upon revealing or having your identity exposed, all nearby Cleaners of level one and below who learn of the news will imdiately receive an unremovable Fear effect.]
[Advanced route: None]
[Hidden Trait (equipping not required): Influenced by your infamous reputation, during inter-branch joint operations involving you, Cleaners of level one and below will have a dramatic increase in obedience to you, though there’s also a certain probability they might quietly flee.]
"..."
What the hell is this damn badge...
Looking at the [Glutton God] shining brightly in the badge slot, Leon, his face filled with speechlessness, decisively took it off, pretending that he never received such a thing.
There are only two effects, and both harshly punish teammates; it’s better not to wear it at all. Its existence is like a failing Archer Director, simply here to be a joke.
"Knock Knock Knock."
Just as Leon was browsing through his badges, pondering if he could co up with so useful new combination, there was a sudden knock at his office door. A sowhat timid voice quietly inquired from outside:
"Senior Leon, are you available now?"
"..."
Calling
senior, that should be Ms. Breakthrough outside... Speaking of which, can I actually be called senior by soone else?
Feeling a bit awkward being called senior, Leon involuntarily coughed lightly, then sat upright behind the desk and responded loudly:
"Yes, you can co in!"
"Ah, okay!"
With Leon’s permission, "Ms. Breakthrough," still wearing that old velvet dress, walked into Leon’s office with her head slightly bowed, then hesitantly said:
"Um... Senior Leon, yesterday... uhh... I encountered so strange things, so I wanted to ask you..."
"..."
Co on... I’m not going to eat you, is there a need to be so nervous?
Seeing "Ms. Breakthrough" standing with her hands tightly held in front of her abdon, her face practically spelling out social anxiety, Leon couldn’t help but say with so helplessness:
"Ms. Layla, you really don’t need to be so tense. We’re all colleagues, just ask whatever you want,
also, even though you were introduced by
to join, I haven’t been in the Clean-up Bureau long myself, roughly the sa period as you, so you don’t need to call
senior, just call
by na."
"Al... alright..."
Unconsciously stepping back half a step, "Ms. Breakthrough" spoke so softly it was like a mosquito:
"Mr. Leon, I... I had a dream yesterday, and then... then sohow, inexplicably, I dread of you..."
Had a dream?
Upon hearing Layla’s words, Leon raised an eyebrow in surprise, then realized, and with a hint of astonishnt, asked:
"You didn’t dream about yesterday’s promotion assessnt, did you?"
Promotion assessnt... what’s that?
Hearing this, "Ms. Breakthrough" raised her head with so confusion and cautiously replied:
"Sorry, I don’t know what the promotion assessnt is, but I first dread you were sitting on a chair drawing, then... then you took a knife and killed hundreds of people, and later... don’t know why, suddenly you were with another you, eating whatever you saw..."
"..."
Goodness, didn’t you just see everything? So while Senior Amien and I were participating in the promotion assessnt, you were observing from the dream borders?!
"Sor... sorry!"
Seeing Leon’s rather speechless expression, Layla imdiately retreated timidly, her face turning crimson as she apologized again:
"I... I also don’t know why I had such a strange dream, but Director Olivia told
to report any odd events to her, or if she’s unavailable, to find you.
Director Olivia seed busy, with no ti to listen to this, so I... anyway... anyway, sorry for bothering you! Please forget all the nonsense I just said!"
"Wait."
Seeing that she seed about to run, Leon quickly got up, bypassed the desk, and stopped "Ms. Breakthrough" who had bowed suddenly and was about to dash out of his office.
"Don’t leave yet... um... actually, not everything you dread of is nonsense."
"?"
In Layla’s puzzled expression, Leon cleared his throat, his eyes slightly shifting, as he said:
"At the ti, another senior from the Bureau and I were in the Dream Realm participating in the headquarters’ promotion assessnt, and what you dread about should be the situation then."
Does that an... what I dread actually happened? Did you really... really see sothing and then eat it?
Hearing Leon’s words, "Ms. Breakthrough" couldn’t help but widen her eyes, and then asked nervously with a face full of shock:
"Mr. Leon, you... in our Bureau, in order to get promoted, you actually have to eat... and do those kinds of things? This... this..."
"Ahem, ahem, it’s not what you think it is."
After giving her a simple explanation, mainly clarifying that he doesn’t eat people, and seeing "Ms. Breakthrough" breathe a sigh of relief, Leon curiously inquired:
"Ms. Layla, besides the matter of Senior Amien and , did you dream of anything else yesterday?"
"I did dream of so other things..."
After hesitating on Leon’s question, "Ms. Breakthrough" subtly glanced at him and timidly whispered:
"I dread of you... or rather, soone who looks like you, was discussing sothing in a pitch-black river with soone called Director Shui-sothing, saying they planned... to make a move on our Virgin Branch..."
"?!!!"
...
"Leon?"
Upon seeing an urgently rushing Leon entering, the red-haired director, with a fatigued appearance, beckoned him over and with a furrowed brow, said:
"It’s just as well I needed to find you, the headquarters’ eting just ended, and the situation does not look optimistic..."
"?"
Hearing the red-haired director’s opening line, Leon, who was also about to report bad news, was taken aback, then he asked urgently:
"What did the headquarters say?"
"Mr. Taurus’s ascension preparations have been made and can’t be delayed any longer, but the other two directors have had issues, and maintaining Mr. Taurus’s safety isn’t certain.
So, Director Archer proposed that six Zodiac Branch Office directors, including , temporarily abandon overseeing their territories to collectively head to the headquarters, prioritizing ensuring Director of Taurus can successfully ascend."
What?!
Upon hearing this, Leon’s pupils couldn’t help but contract, and he hurriedly asked:
"Then what about the Slaughter King Association? If six Yellow Road directors are transferred at once, wouldn’t that be like handing over six Kingdoms to the Slaughter King Association?"
