Although he didn't know where the other party's confidence ca from, since the Gemstone Scepter had made such a promise, he didn't want to get too involved in the matter.
After all, it was no longer his concern to worry about the safety of the Source of Beasts—that had beco Molu's problem.
He had already wrapped it up and tossed it to Molu.
Realizing that holding onto such a thing would only attract more covetous people, and considering he was currently unable to deal with an endless stream of enemies, he decisively threw it away.
What he needed to do now was to maintain the stability of Fangting City. Allowing the Source of Beasts to attract trouble in his hands was not only a threat to his own safety but also detrintal to the growth of the new mbers of his team.
For enemies like Yuan, their presence wouldn't be too bad without great malice, but if they ca with imnse hostility, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for Fangting City.
Taking these into account, there was no more suitable buyer than Molu. No matter how untrustworthy the Gemstone Scepter might be, it was still on the side of the Magical Girl, so it was still better for the Source of Beasts to be in Molu's hands than in Claw Mark's.
As long as the owner of the Source of Beasts beca Molu, the responsibility for its safety naturally shifted to Molu as well. A Gemstone Scepter in office would have an easier ti protecting the Source of Beasts than an injured person like him.
It was for this reason that Lin Yun now faced Yuan with more confidence—the artifact wasn't in his hands, so he wasn't afraid of what the other party might do.
His attitude, quite unexpectedly, piqued the curiosity of Yuan, who had co to the Abnormal Strategy Bureau with a "let's try" ntality: "Keeping the peace is easy enough, after all, I don't like bullying the weak. But this money... You're really just giving it away? Without demanding sothing extra?"
"Your not causing trouble is a great boon to the Abnormal Strategy Bureau," Lin Yun said, narrowing his eyes. "As for other demands, I don't think you can offer anything worthwhile."
After saying this, he noticed a strange look in the other person's eyes.
"Hmm... You do have a decent appearance, and you're quite the handso man. Plus, you have a respectable position as a director," Yuan mused, stroking her chin. "If you wanted sothing special, I might consider it."
"No, thank you."
Unperturbed by the other's subtly suggestive remarks, Lin Yun responded indifferently, his eyelids drooping: "Please take the money and leave the Abnormal Strategy Bureau without delay."
"Hahaha, with that sloppy look of yours, what man could possibly fancy you?" Semi said, imdiately taunting after seeing Yuan's suggestive behavior rebuffed: "You'd better not entertain any improper ideas."
"Hmm."
Despite her straightforward nature, being so directly rejected as an attractive mber of the opposite sex was a bit of a blow to Yuan: "You're rejecting so decisively? Do I have no appeal as a woman at all?"
"Sorry, you're beautiful, but I'm married," Lin Yun said expressionlessly. "And I love my wife very much."
"Alright, alright, let's pretend I never said anything," Yuan conceded, placing the lunchbox on the desk in front of her as she gave up: "Just to confirm, you said no trouble, so it's not considered trouble to challenge the Magical Girl to a fight, right?"
"As long as there's no killing or destruction of public facilities, it's not considered trouble," Lin Yun replied, suppressing the twitching of his mouth corners and speaking with a calm voice: "However, personally and on behalf of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, we would prefer not to see such things happen."
Emotionally, he really wanted to dismiss the idea of fighting altogether because he was busy and truly had no ti to spar with a battle enthusiast every day; however, rationally, completely blocking all her options would be counterproductive for negotiations. Therefore, he could only use a third-party perspective, employing relatively soft language to express his opposition.
"Then, can you give Cornflower's contact details?"
His opinion obviously didn't strike a chord with Yuan, who perked up at the news that the challenge was not strictly forbidden: "It's been several days since I've seen her."
"The Abnormal Strategy Bureau has a policy of mutual confidentiality; we do not provide personal information about the Magical Girls to anyone," Lin Yun stated earnestly. "And even if I gave you the contact details, it would be of no use, as you ntioned earlier, you don't have a cell phone."
"Right, I don't have a cell phone," Yuan belatedly realized, nodding: "But that's okay, if I have money, I can use a public phone. Speaking of which, since that's the case, why doesn't the Abnormal Strategy Bureau just give a cell phone along with the Buddha... "
"Forget it."
Lin Yun ended the conversation with an utterly dismissive tone.
In the end, he gave Yuan a few thousand yuan, ensuring that it was enough to cover her living expenses for a while, then resolutely "escorted" the two troubleso guests out of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau.
Only after sending off these two great deities could he return to his free ti and start dealing with the work he hadn't completed today.
Being the director of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau didn't an just handling the affairs within the bureau; he also had to deal with communications with other cities' Abnormal Strategy Bureaus and the local city governnt.
In the past month, with the Full Moon Festival, Lakeside Spring, and the recent attack on the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, the city governnt had bled a significant amount of money financially. Whether it was the compensation for the fallen employees or the rebuilding costs of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, it all fell on their shoulders, causing so governnt officials great discontent. Although they knew the newly parachuted director of the Abnormal Strategy Bureau, Lin Yun, had so significant background, that did not stop them from expressing "suggestions" to Lin Yun, asking for a more standardized managent of the bureau to reduce extra expenditure.
