Chapter 498

Staring at the diplomatic minister who looked utterly stunned and was gazing at him, Leon Lane couldn’t help but dry cough after speaking out rashly. He then reasserted with renewed indignation:

“Anyway, your Crocodile Kingdom has gone too far! There’s a complete lack of respect for a prince. I now even have reason to suspect that you don’t have any intention of communicating with us!”

Wait… How could he possibly say such things? Having been in the position of diplomatic minister for almost ten years, this was the first time encountering such an absurd envoy. Coming back to his senses, the serious middle-aged man couldn’t help but feel a surge of anger, directly shouting in anger: “What exactly do you want to do?”

“I’ve already told you, I want to buy stuff. It would be better if I can buy the technology together.”

Pointing at the agenda book in the diplomatic minister’s hand, Leon Lane calmly fabricated nonsense:

“You also said before that the security situation there isn’t good, with rebels roaming around everywhere. Not long ago, they even attacked the royal palace, which is extremely rampant!

To deal with these arrogant rebels, I plan to purchase several sets of long-distance communication equipment. Once we discover their movements, we’ll immediately surround and exterminate them, while also equipping important places like boarding towers, so as not to be caught off guard again without support.”

So… He really is here to buy things?

Looking at Leon who spoke with great confidence, the diplomatic minister hesitated for a moment. Considering his responsibilities, he had no choice but to temporarily suppress his anger and patiently asked:

“You should wait a bit longer. I haven’t received any procurement requests here, and I’m also not responsible for technology transfer matters. So regarding what you want, I need to ask the person in charge of this matter to know how many similar technologies there are, and which ones can be transferred.”

“Tsk, so inefficient!”

After saying this with a look of disdain, Leon waved his hand impatiently:

“I agree. You go ahead and ask. I’ll wait for you here… Remember to come back quickly, don’t make me wait too long!”

“…”

“Do you have any other questions?”

No issues, but if you can take the stuff away this time, I’ll kneel down and kowtow to you!

Angry, the diplomatic minister glared at Leon. After secretly resolving in his heart, he angrily humphed and didn’t bother to argue with this brute anymore, directly leaving with the agenda book clutched under his arm. Before leaving, he slammed the door heavily, his anger clearly evident.

Finally got rid of him safely.

When the footsteps of the diplomatic minister, filled with resentment, faded away, Leon, who just now looked impatient, smiled slightly. Then he stood up, walked behind the diplomatic minister’s chair, and extended his right hand towards the filing cabinet filled with various items, politely greeting: “I am Level 3 Cleaner Leon Lane, representing the Virgo Subdivision to participate in this investigation mission. Please give me your guidance, seniors.”

“…”

Facing Leon’s polite greeting, the filing cabinet of the diplomatic minister couldn’t help but tremble… Or rather, the potted plant on the filing cabinet strangely twitched slightly.

Next, the top of this potted plant, a bright red onion-like bulb opened slightly, revealing two male faces full of surprise. One tiny male head struggled to emerge from the bulb and looked at Leon in astonishment: “How did you know I was here? Did the director tell you about my abilities?”

“Bureau Director Edward didn’t mention these things.”

“And without prior agreement, as the envoy sent by the kingdom, there are only three places where I must appear: the port where the flying ship lands, the conference hall of the diplomatic minister, and the accommodation arranged by the Crocodile Kingdom for me.

However, the port is crowded and has a very open terrain, making it unsuitable for secret contact; and without contacting me, it’s hard to determine where the Crocodile Kingdom has placed me. Therefore, the conference hall of the diplomatic minister is the most suitable place.”

I see…

After hearing Leon’s explanation, the two “flower men” hiding in the greenery couldn’t help but exchange a glance, their expressions showing a hint of surprise.

Although they had heard the director mention that this Level 3 cleaner’s abilities were astonishingly strong, they didn’t expect to be discovered by him even before any formal interaction. Setting aside talents related to anomalies, it was clear that the person’s intellect was quite sharp.

…

It seems my “appearance” went well? Glancing at the expressions of the two “flower men,” Leon confirmed that his display of intelligence indeed achieved the desired effect, and couldn’t help but sigh with relief internally.

According to the director, the Scorpio Division has sent out all its elites this time. Apart from Director Edward personally leading the team, there’s also an elite Level 1 cleaner who can replace the division director at any time, along with three highly experienced Level 2 cleaners.

Although my file is quite impressive, the confidentiality level is somewhat high. For these seasoned cleaners, I’m still a rookie with only three months of work experience. To ensure they value my opinions, it’s necessary to flex some muscles appropriately.

“Seniors.”

Without missing any content inside 69 novels!

After completing the initial contact with the Scorpio Division and achieving the predetermined goal of showcasing strength, Leon politely asked:

“I’ve sent the diplomatic minister away, so we have plenty of time. Could the two seniors please tell me if there have been any gains in the few days since your arrival?”

“Kind of…”

When this supposedly dangerous and crazy newcomer found them, the two cleaning officers from the Scorpio Division were initially quite intimidated. But seeing Leon’s courteous attitude and hearing his polite inquiry, their hearts eased slightly. They then cautiously replied:

“One of the people who came with us is called Mona, a Level 2 cleaner who can freely traverse this city. These past two days, she took the director and Algernon to check out the original location of the Gemini Division.”

The original location of the Gemini Division?

Upon hearing this, Leon couldn’t help but blink, then proactively followed up: “How’s the situation? Are the cleaners and anomalous items of the Gemini Division still there?”

“Many of the stored anomalous items are missing, but most of the people are still there.”

Hearing this, the two “flower men” sighed. The younger-looking middle-aged man among them looked somewhat puzzled:

“Mona checked the archive room of the Gemini Division and found records of six or seven missions recently. In short, except for the absence of the division director and a few senior cleaners, the entire Gemini Division is actually still functioning normally.”
