Chapter 240

So... you didn't come to pick a fight? You even came to thank me? Then just now...

Looking at Leon, who was holding her hands and shaking them vigorously, and thinking of her own sarcastic provocations just now, the female reporter's ears suddenly turned red, and she felt a strong sense of shame.

And the person who successfully grabbed her palms didn't perform any better; after reading the information provided by 【Materialism】, Leon's pupils couldn't help but shrink instantly!

【Name: Untouchable Hands (Flesh, Energy, Soul)】

【Appearance: Fair and delicate female palms; they emit a faint white glow at night. Whether slashed by blades, frozen or burned, hit by voodoo curses, or impacted on the level of mental will, nothing can cause them the slightest damage.】

【Ability: Flesh Untouchable, Energy Untouchable, Soul Untouchable】

【Cost: Permanently lose one's own original hands.】

【File: The hands of a nun who served the God of Secrecy all her life. From birth, she was chosen as one of the ninety-nine "Secret Keepers," and her facial features were subjected to the most thorough sealing and destruction.】

【Although she lived in this world, in her long life of exactly 150 years, apart from touching things through her hands, she never had any intersection with this world. She is a truly "non-existent Secret Keeper."】

【When the nun was about to reach the end of her life, her hands were removed by believers of the Church of Secrecy, prepared to be offered to the God of Secrecy, but the Gemini Branch of the Cleanup Bureau happened to arrive, killing all the believers in the stronghold of the Church of Secrecy and destroying this sacrifice.】

【After completing the cleanup mission, the then-Director of the Gemini Branch discovered this nun, who didn't even have a name, in the pile of corpses behind the altar. He gifted her a "Seed of Anomaly," and at the cost of these hands never being able to touch anything again, he bought a day and a night of facial features and five senses for her, as her life was coming to an end.】

【After the nun died, the 【Untouchable Hands】, born from her obsession, were stored in the warehouse of the Gemini Branch. Decades later, Nicole Coloman, a Level 1 Cleanup Agent of the Gemini Branch, lost her original hands due to a mission and became the new user of the 【Untouchable Hands】, until now.】

【Evaluation: An anomalous object whose upper and lower limits are both terrifyingly low. Although it can resist all contact below a True God, it must be actively activated and blocked with the hands. Therefore, only those whose physical fitness and reaction speed are terrifyingly strong can exert its proper power.】

【Infection Value: 28.1】

Twenty-eight points of infection value! A Level 1 Cleanup Agent of the Gemini Branch!

Seeing the prefix written before the name "Miss Nicole" in the file of the 【Untouchable Hands】, Leon's brain suddenly buzzed. Many things he couldn't understand before were instantly connected, and the large cloud of suspicion covering his heart suddenly dissipated.

That's it. With the style of the Water Bottle Director who likes to leave a backup plan, how could he let the rebel faction be completely ignored and let them fend for themselves under the eyes of the Red-Haired Director? He must have found a way to leave a bottom line to prevent them from truly showing their flaws and being wiped out by the Virgin Branch.

And the person he sent as the backup plan is likely this Miss Nicole in front of him. This female reporter is not a member of the rebel faction at all, and it is even more impossible for her to be the daughter of the old Owen couple. She is a Level 1 Cleanup Agent of the Gemini Branch. She is mostly like him, using some anomalous object to mix into the rebel faction!

Also, when the rebel faction held a meeting before, the reason she wasn't there was mostly because she ran to kill the enemy of Senior Auntie Ai Ma, so that Senior Auntie Ai Ma could be taken away by people from the General Bureau. And the person who broke into the Cleanup Bureau yesterday and took away the fake photo must also be her!

As for the evidence...

Sizing up the fine sweat oozing from the female reporter's forehead and the clothing she wore that was clearly too thick in the high-temperature room, Leon immediately strengthened his judgment again.

If this Miss Nicole took off her clothes now, her body would definitely be covered in bandages. The reason she insisted on wearing a shawl and covering her body tightly was to cover the wounds on her body cut by the Director's hair!

Also, she is clearly so ashamed that her ears are red now, but the color on her face hasn't changed significantly. It is estimated that she likely put on makeup or used an anomalous object to cover up her pale complexion after excessive blood loss. This also matches the situation of that thief.

Last but not least, the Black Goat once said that its tail represents laziness and secrecy, so the ability is very likely to eliminate the aura that leaves the body. This point is exactly the same as that thief yesterday, so...

It's her! It's her! It's definitely her!

Good fellow, originally I came over just because I saw a familiar name and wanted to probe the background of the last rebel, but I didn't expect to dig out a big fish!

"Sorry, I really didn't think about how to explain it just now, maybe I made you misunderstand."

After slightly calming down his agitated mood, Leon released the fair and tender palms with an infection value as high as 28 points, switched out 【Elite Performer】 at the speed of light, and explained with an enthusiastic smile:

"Actually, at that time, I didn't know my relationship with the Laien family, and even if I was forced to succeed as Duke now, I wasn't prepared to be a serious great noble. Marrying into the royal family was just an excuse to want to get rid of the Duke status."

"So that's how it is..."

Seeing that Leon didn't hold onto her "nonsense" just now, the extremely ashamed female reporter felt a little better, then nodded awkwardly:

"Then... then you are really quite special... hehehe."

"No, although I am special, you are even more special!"

Grabbing the female reporter's hands again and shaking them vigorously, Leon secretly rubbed open the button on her wrist while saying with three parts truth and seven parts falsehood:

"Miss Nicole, do you know how many newspaper offices and reporters I looked for in order to expose this matter?"

Without waiting for the female reporter to answer, Leon, who vaguely caught a glimpse of the corner of the bandage in her sleeve, said with an "excited" face:

"Nine! Within one day, I made appointments with people from nine newspapers. I almost ran through all the large and small newspaper offices in the capital that claimed to dare to speak the truth, but not a single person was willing to publish that matter. Some even wanted to arrest me and then directly grab the evidence!"

This is really... simply too dark! Damn Laien family! I get angry just thinking about it now!"

"..."

Looking at the new Lionheart Duke who was angrily denouncing the Laien family as damned, the female reporter couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, seemingly wanting to say something, but not knowing how to speak, so she could only close her mouth honestly and hummed vaguely.

"Miss Nicole, I knew you couldn't stand this kind of thing either, that's why you helped expose it! Sigh! If I had found your Sun Newspaper earlier, I wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble!"

Hearing the female reporter's "agreement," Leon immediately climbed up the pole, grabbed her and praised her, calling her the savior of the Kingdom's media industry, the last conscience of the capital's news circle, and so on.

And Leon originally had three parts sincerity, plus the powerful blessing of the Elite Performer, this praise appeared exceptionally sincere. Seeing that it was already moving in the direction of a brainless fan, finally, it blew the female reporter until she couldn't take it anymore, and she waved her hands to push it away:

"Don't, don't, don't, I just happened to be there, it's really not as good as you said, my report... uh... also has many shortcomings."

"Haha, you are humble, but there are indeed a few small shortcomings."

Hearing this, Leon seemed to have thought of something, nodded, and smiled:

"For example, regarding these few news reports about me, Miss Nicole, you only listened to what others said and didn't get first-hand information, so there are indeed some small deviations in the report... How about this, Miss Nicole, are you interested in doing an exclusive interview with me?"

"Exclusive interview?"

"Yes! Exclusive interview!"

Leon said with a smile:

"Although I succeeded to the position of Duke, I still have a very special job in a small subordinate department of the Police Department. When you have time in two days, would you be willing to go there and interview me?"
