Chapter 1148: Vacation Vacation

Can grant wishes, but won't necessarily lead to a good outcome?

After hearing the Director finish speaking about the news regarding the 【Prayer Luo Pan】, Li Ang frowned in thought amid the prompt tone of "Your resistance to this anomaly has greatly increased."

According to the Director's description, using the 【Prayer Luo Pan】 didn't seem to require paying any price, but the anomalies he had seen weren't like that; an anomaly with such a powerful effect should have an astonishingly large price to match.

So if using the 【Prayer Luo Pan】 truly required no price at all, then perhaps this "not necessarily beautiful" outcome itself was the price that needed to be paid for using it.

This thing... feels a bit sinister...

"Right, Director."

After firmly committing the intelligence regarding the 【Prayer Luo Pan】 to memory, Li Ang couldn't help but speak up to ask further:

"You understand the 【Prayer Luo Pan】 so well, could it be you've used it before?"

"I... count as having used it too..."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired Director's expression froze for a moment, then she pursed her lips and replied somewhat briefly:

"Back then the Ophiuchus Branch rebelled, forcing the Bureau into a bind, so the Bureau used the 【Prayer Luo Pan】 once, wanting to know if there was a way to quell the Ophiuchus Branch's rebellion, and then... I was the one who carried out that method."

"I see..."

Seeing the red-haired Director's faintly low spirits, Li Ang, who had inadvertently stepped on a massive landmine, hurriedly took the initiative to change the subject:

"Uh... about the Palace being attacked by an anomaly before, the Bureau should have investigators coming down, right? When will this investigation's investigators arrive?"

"Hard to say."

After hearing Li Ang's words, the red-haired Director glanced at him, then replied:

"The investigators responsible for the Kingdom on the Bureau's side have basically all been offended by our people, none of them want to take the job of investigating us.

Of the only two willing to come, Galle was proven to be a fake identity of the Aquarius Director, and the remaining female investigator who was scolded twice by the Black Goat is also under investigation because she was acquainted with Galle, so probably no one will be coming for a short time."

"..."

Ah this... it can even be like this?

Although the purpose was just to change the subject, after hearing the red-haired Director's answer, Li Ang still couldn't help but say speechlessly:

"Then doesn't that mean the matter of me res... right, rescuing the Princess, just got glossed over like this? The Bureau isn't even investigating?"

"You said it yourself, in this matter you only went to save someone."

The red-haired Director smiled upon hearing this and said:

"If it were still like Ryan's Blood Night, with large numbers of targeted casualties appearing, suspected Cleaners violating regulations using anomalies, the Bureau would definitely send people to investigate to the bottom, those investigators would have to come even if they didn't want to.

But the result of the Palace attack, aside from several dozen guards being injured, no one was killed, the royal family members were also not in danger, so although the matter is big, to the Bureau the investigation priority is actually not that high."

Thinking about it that way, it does make sense...

After hearing the Director's analysis, Li Ang couldn't help but nod in agreement.

For the Lushque Kingdom, the Princess seizing the throne via coup is naturally a huge deal, but for the Cleanup Bureau, who sits on the throne isn't that important; what's truly important is whether the Lushque royal bloodline is severed.

Since the bloodline of those in the palace has no issues, then for the Cleanup Bureau there really isn't much need to investigate, and even if it didn't involve the royal family, I'd probably just need to file a casual report to pass.

Hmm... this situation can be noted down, might come in handy next time I rebel.

"Li Ang."

Just as Li Ang, based on the Cleanup Bureau's reaction, began to probe the Bureau's red lines, the red-haired Director suddenly called out to him softly, then spoke:

"For the next few days, do you want to take a vacation first?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you accept the investigation mission to the Korok Kingdom?" Seeing Li Ang's somewhat puzzled expression, the red-haired Director reminded him:

"Even if you can take an airship, this field mission's duration won't be too short, you might not be able to come back for a while.

Lord Taurus's side also needs a few days to prepare, and counting the negotiations with the Scorpio Branch, it might even drag on for a week, so I thought, why not take advantage of this gap and give you a few days off first, let you spend more time with your family."

It really is...

After hearing the red-haired Director's reminder, Li Ang only then realized he hadn't been home much recently, and was about to go abroad on business, so he really should spend more time with his family.

"Thank you, Director!"

After giving the red-haired Director a grateful look, Li Ang asked:

"Then I'll start my vacation from tomorrow?"

"Today, or rather right now works."

Walking back to her desk and sitting down, the red-haired Director glanced at the newspaper on the desktop, then unconsciously frowned, and while reading the paper said without lifting her head:

"Mm... right, there's another thing, Emma's daughter has gotten her body back and can leave the Baohua Manor.

Before she went on a mission yesterday, she wanted me to help that kid handle the paperwork to also attend the Fleetbridge Public Academy, be a companion for your younger brother and sister, so she wouldn't always be cooped up alone at home; if you're free these two days, help her handle the enrollment procedures?"

Little Ellie can go to school already?

Hearing the red-haired Director's words, recalling that girl with timid eyes, always wearing a large floppy sun hat, speaking in a soft, sweet voice, Li Ang couldn't help but reveal a smile.

"Okay, guaranteed no problem!"

"Indeed, if you handle this, there definitely won't be a problem."

Flipping through the Royal Mail in hand, after reading the front-page news at ten lines a glance, the red-haired Director couldn't help but curl her lip, then sighed with a smile:

"Administrative civil servants like me, there are no fewer than ten in the Police Department, let alone the whole Kingdom, not one hundred but eighty at least, utterly unremarkable!

But the respected Prince is different; for a small civil servant like me, things hard as climbing to heaven, the Prince probably only needs to give an order and people will scramble to get it done, it's truly enviable.

Mm, but compared to red-hot power and influence, what the Prince makes people envy most is actually that he has a good wife, zither and lute in harmony, loving to the point of jealousy~"

"..."

Wait... what's wrong with you now?

Inexplicably suddenly being subjected to yin-yang sarcasm, Li Ang couldn't help but frown, then asked with some puzzlement:

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Nothing much."

After opening the inner pages of the newspaper and turning the front page toward Li Ang's direction, the red-haired bureau chief took a sip of tea, then smiled and said:

"I was just reading the newspaper, suddenly felt a bit emotional."

Reading the newspaper?

After blinking in confusion, Li Ang followed the red-haired bureau chief's gesture and unconsciously looked at the newspaper in her hand.

Royal Mail: "Engagement in the Sai'ao Kingdom Rejected, Princess: My Heart Has Been Eaten by the Lion"

"..."
