Chapter 229

Damn it, if everyone really believes your nonsense, I'll have to let the Brain-Eating Demon lick my brain grooves! And you're just prepared to apologize lightly?

Beaten until his scalp was numb by Leon's set of "returning the favor," and fearing that the Bureau of Cleanup's Director would really believe Leon's ghost stories, the tall and thin man hurriedly turned back to look at the main stage, trying hard to defend himself:

"Director! What he said is just one-sided words! Whether this matter is true or not depends on... uh... where is the Director?"

"The Director's time is up."

A director stood out and answered with a helpless expression:

"Just when you started arguing, the Old Earth happened to turn to the back of the sun halo, and the Director's projection was also blocked back. When he comes back next time... I guess seven or eight years!"

"..."

No way... This damn thing hasn't even decided how to deal with Aquarius, and the Bureau of Cleanup's Director is gone? And once gone, it takes seven or eight years? This is even less reliable than the UN!

Looking at the Director's projection that had disappeared without a trace on the main stage, Leon was truly completely unable to hold on.

Our Bureau of Cleanup is truly full of talents!

A director who only shows up once every eight years, a traitor director who wants to go to heaven to dismantle his own space station, branch directors who are still thinking about infighting at critical moments, plus a director who is smarter than a monkey when not drinking, and is a monkey when finished drinking...

Damn it! This world is supported by such a group of goods, and it has persisted for so many years without being occupied by Outer Gods. I really don't know what kind of dog shit luck it had!

"Alright!"

It was clear that the Red-Haired Director was not the only one who understood this point. After a silent exchange among several directors, Taurus Director finally stood out and asked seriously:

"Leon, is what you said just now true? Did Aquarius really say who in the Bureau colluded with him?"

"He did say it, and the names of everyone were said in great detail."

Amidst the anger and shock of the Scorpio Director, Leon nodded, then said helplessly:

"But his speaking speed was too fast at the time. Aside from the first few sentences, he could say hundreds of words per second later on. I really couldn't hear clearly what he read, but..."

After glancing at the Scorpio Director who was slightly relieved, Leon raised his eyebrows:

"But the Scales of Truth in his hand condensed his words into weights. As long as you touch the weights, you can know the content inside."

Hearing Leon's words, the Scorpio Director's expression suddenly tightened!

"But later the Scales of Truth exploded, and the vast majority of the weights scattered on the main stage and were crushed by the attacks that fell later."

The Scorpio Director's expression relaxed...

"But before those attacks fell, I snatched a few weights out."

The Scorpio Director's expression tightened again!

"But among the weights I snatched out, there wasn't the one recording the traitor list."

The Scorpio Director's expression relaxed again...

"But although I didn't get the traitor list of those colluding with Aquarius, I luckily got..."

"Alright, you don't have to say it!"

Seeing that Leon was deliberately playing with him, the tall and thin man simply broke the jar and smashed it, gritting his teeth and admitting directly:

"I admit it! Before the questioning started, Aquarius did visit me privately and promised some benefits, but he absolutely didn't say it was about the Watchtower Palace!"

"At that time, Aquarius only told me that there would be a questioning against him after the year-end review, and it was about privately manufacturing anomalous objects. He hoped I could stand up for him at that time. There was nothing else! I am willing to be responsible for my words!"

"Aquarius also visited me, and the situation was about the same as Edward's..."

"Sigh... me too."

"Me too, but he only said it was a small trouble..."

"And me, but I didn't agree to him."

Not daring to bet on whether Leon really had the so-called traitor list, a total of more than a dozen branch directors stood out one after another, admitting that they had been in contact with the Aquarius Director.

But these people also swore oaths one after another, indicating that they only heard it was a small trouble and were completely unaware of the Aquarius Director's plot against the Watchtower Palace.

Leon, who had successfully achieved his goal, also stopped while he was ahead. After keeping these people in mind, he didn't mention the so-called traitor list that didn't exist at all, but waited for these people to finish their confessions and continued:

"I didn't get the list, but I luckily got the cultivation methods of two secret arts. One is the anomalous creation secret art of the Aquarius lineage, and the other is a suppression technique called the God-Covering Forking Finger, specifically used to target True Gods who have been deprived of their authority... Do these two secret arts need to be handed over?"

"No need."

Taurus Director sighed upon hearing this and shook her head with some disappointment:

"The Bureau has backups for these two secret arts, so you don't need to hand them over. And the requirements for talent are unimaginably high, so it's not something you can master just by having the cultivation method."

"The anomalous creation secret art of the Aquarius lineage goes without saying. Those who haven't been chosen by the Aquarius Star Palace cannot become practitioners. All twelve secret arts are like this; only after being chosen do you have the qualification to practice."

"As for that 【God-Covering Forking Finger】, aside from the first-generation Aquarius and this generation's Aquarius, no third person has been able to master it... It's a pity. You got the two most valuable things on Aquarius, but they are also the two most useless things."

That's hard to say.

Recalling the two secret arts sealed in his brain, Leon nodded and didn't say anything. He even used the 【Performer】 badge to put on a look of regret, but in his heart, he had already started thinking about it.

If there is a chance in the future, I must see if I can touch that so-called Star Palace. With the 【Materialist】 badge that can "add resistance," maybe I really have the qualification to forcibly learn the anomalous creation secret art without being chosen.

"Olivia."

Not knowing that someone in his heart had already started thinking about loopholes, after asking Leon questions, Taurus Director turned to look at her and asked kindly:

"Thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you and Beverly insisting again and again, maybe we would have really been fooled by Aquarius, and even the Watchtower Palace would have been threatened... Tell me, what reward do you want?"

"My reward is unnecessary."

For Taurus Director, who is a palace-sitter, the Red-Haired Director has always had an inexplicable reverence. After hearing her question, she hurriedly refused with a serious face:

"Compared to your dedication to all mankind, my little contribution is insignificant and really doesn't count for anything. These are all things I should do."

"Besides, the Aquarius Director created twelve anomalous object holders who ran rampant near the capital for several years, and I couldn't catch them. This is actually a serious dereliction of duty. It is truly shameful to receive a reward again."

"This time, Leon discovered the clues first and provided evidence at a critical moment, forcing Aquarius into a dead end. He is the undisputed first merit! Beverly and several other branch directors also collected evidence together and were busy for a long time. You can reward them."

"Don't decline."

Taurus Director shook her head upon hearing this:

"They will all have their rewards, but you led the questioning this time. If it weren't for your constant running and insistence, I couldn't have agreed to the questioning. Directing Leon to take the opportunity to capture the rebels is also your merit. What should be yours is yours."

"In that case..."

After hearing Taurus Director's words, the Red-Haired Director couldn't help but hesitate, her eyes full of expectation:

"I remember the bead of the God of Winemaking..."

"Except for this."

"..."

"Don't think about it, this really won't do..."

Looking at the disappointed Red-Haired Director, Taurus Director said helplessly:

"Don't you know what your situation is? That bead is enough to brew any kind of fine wine in the world. If it were really given to you, I'm afraid your Virgo Branch would have to disband on the spot tomorrow!"
