Chapter 584

“Cough cough!”

After clearing his throat forcefully to remind his bureau director to be more restrained, Leon dragged the stunned jade-eyed maiden into the office piled high with liquor bottles and introduced her:

“Director, I’ve brought Miss Phelia here.”

“Hmm hmm, good job.”

Apparently having shaken off the shadow of being dead last, the red-haired director was unusually cheerful. After nodding at Phelia, she smiled softly and praised:

“The girl’s quite pretty, and her soul talent is outstanding. She’s also holding two very powerful special anomalies… Hmm… Are you interested in joining our Virgo Subdivision?”

?!

Upon hearing the recruitment from the red-haired director, Leon couldn’t help but slightly startle, while the jade-eyed maiden curiously asked:

“Can I really become a cleaner?”

“Why not?”

“But… I’m the last direct bloodline of the Crocodile Royal Family, and I was once a member of the Execution King Assembly.”

Looking at the smiling red-haired beauty across from her, Phelia quietly said, “According to your Clearing Bureau’s usual style, shouldn’t you be closely protecting and monitoring me, trying to keep me within your sight as much as possible?”

“True.”

The red-haired director nodded after hearing this, then took a sip of tea from the liquor bottle and calmly said: “But right now, apart from the self-sealed headquarters, as long as you stay by my side, you’re already in the safest place in the entire Clearing Bureau.”

“…”

Good grief…you’re putting on airs…

Seeing Phelia, whose eyes shimmered with admiration due to the overwhelming confidence conveyed in the red-haired director’s words, Leon bit his lip, wanting to say something but held back, his face showing an odd expression of discomfort.

Strictly speaking, what the director said wasn’t wrong.

The abilities of anomalous items are varied; even someone strong like the Scorpion Director would continuously stumble this time. But with the “Thirty-Two Dominate” clenched in her mouth, unleashing full firepower without regard for cost, she’s practically 99.8% resilient.

Even if a group of people targeted her with everything they had, they’d probably just manage to restrain her briefly before she forcibly breaks free. Theoretically, there’s no way to “quickly deal” with her, turning all conspiracies into “arm-wrestling.”

Considering the unmatched physical killing power of “Execution Blood Hair,” when it comes to “arm-wrestling,” few can match her, so she does have the right to make such boastful statements.

But despite her strength, she’s truly outrageous.

Not only does she binge drink during work hours, owes Emma Senior a large sum of money that she doesn’t repay, but within a week of starting her job, she even taught him how to write reports to swindle funds. Her hard-to-tolerate antics are countless.

And this child Phelia, because of her soul code, her brain is somewhat…not entirely sharp. If she chooses to join the Virgo Subdivision and gets corrupted by her haphazard ways…

…

You little guy, behave yourself and don’t ruin my good thing!

After giving Leon a warning glance, hinting for him to drop that odd expression, the red-haired director maintained her demeanor of a strong person and calmly said: “I’ve seen the protection procedures from the headquarters. Although they might be slightly safer than here, they’re also much more troublesome.

If you join our Virgo Subdivision, although you won’t have complete freedom, you’ll still have relative freedom. As long as you don’t leave the range of the capital city, no one will bother you too much during your daily activities… How about it? Interested?”

“…”

As long as I don’t leave the capital city, I can move freely without surveillance?

After hearing the promise from the red-haired director, Phelia unconsciously gripped the hem of her skirt tightly, a trace of excitement appearing in her emerald green eyes.

Although she had mentally prepared herself these past few days to lose her freedom completely and live under endless surveillance, who wouldn’t want more freedom?”I’m interested, I’m very interested!”

She hastily responded to the red-haired director’s recruitment, clutching her small fists nervously as she asked:

“But isn’t the work of a cleaner quite dangerous? Will the General Bureau of your Clearing Bureau really let me stay?”

“Don’t worry, none of that is an issue.”

The red-haired director waved her hand upon hearing this and confidently replied: “Their biggest excuse for not agreeing would be safety concerns, but I’ve already applied to the Honorable Taurus for your protective anomalous item, which should arrive within two weeks.

Without any errors, the content is available on 69 Book Bar!

Besides basic immortality, there will likely be other protective anomalies like forced escape, soul protection, and crisis forewarning. Add to that the two pseudo-time anomalies hidden beneath your wrists, and the chances of you being in danger are already minimal.”

Pseudo-time anomalies?! Upon hearing the red-haired director’s words, Leon immediately raised an eyebrow and glanced sideways at the clearly startled jade-eyed maiden. Right below her palms, almost at her wrists, were two extremely tiny ink spots.

Squinting carefully revealed that the true nature of those ink spots were actually two miniaturized “tattoos.” The specific contents of the tattoos were two gem scepters, one long and one short.

I see…

After recognizing those tiny tattoos, recalling Andre’s farewell gesture of holding the jade-eyed maiden’s hands when he “left,” Leon suddenly understood and inwardly clicked his tongue.

That’s why I spent three days digging up the Crocodile Kingdom Royal Palace and Research Zone 1 but couldn’t find the Time Sharing Scepter—it was “drawn” on Phelia’s body.

“Relax, no one here will take your things.”

Smiling at the frightened jade-eyed maiden, the red-haired director smiled warmly and said:

“Phelia, personally, I’m optimistic about your future achievements. With your talent and the anomalies in your possession, becoming one of the twelve directors might be unlikely, but becoming a sub-bureau director in twenty or thirty years definitely isn’t hard.

As long as you agree to join our Virgo Subdivision, you don’t need to worry about the attitude of the General Bureau. I’ll negotiate on your behalf and ensure you get a relatively free environment. All you need to do is nod.”

“I’m willing! I’m very willing!”

Completely moved by the red-haired director’s conditions, the jade-eyed maiden nodded repeatedly. After stealing a glance at Leon beside her, she quietly asked: “Um… If I join the Virgo Subdivision and need to form a fixed task team, can I choose my teammates myself? Or… Can I choose not to form a fixed team with someone?”

“…”
