Chapter 520: Untitled

The bureau has already found the hostage's location?

After hearing the red-haired Director's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then asked with some unwillingness:

"Director, back then, the Holy Spirit of the Chengjin Sect was invited down by the Masaini family. They have a very close relationship with the Chengjin Sect. It's rare to have such a good opportunity, should we..."

"Stop! You stop for me!"

Seeing that Leon actually had "ulterior motives," the red-haired Director couldn't help but shudder, and crossed her hands horizontally and vertically to make a "stop" gesture.

"Just save the person this time! Don't worry about anything else! Especially those people in the Masaini family, the less contact you have, the better!"

After putting forward the requirements for Leon, the red-haired Director reminded with a headache:

"You don't really think that the Laien family's matter is just over, right? You are not even in the observation period after the fact, you haven't even entered the review period yet. The General Bureau's investigators will arrive in these few days.

If you have contact with the Masaini family, and then someone in their family has an accident, even if it's just choking to death while drinking water, the intensity of the review you will face will increase again!"

"..."

After experiencing the powerful effect of the gold-tier 【I Am the Demon】, Leon naturally had a bit more enthusiasm for the Holy Spirit series badges, which had similar effects to the demon series.

However, just as the Director said, his suspicion hadn't been completely cleared yet, so it was better to be steady in doing things recently, so as not to attract the investigators' suspicion and bring unnecessary trouble.

Anyway, the review is estimated to end in a week. The Chengjin Sect won't collapse for a while, and the people of the Masaini family won't run away. At worst, wait for a week!

"I will pay attention."

After listening to the red-haired Director's advice and giving a promise not to mess around, Leon took the task sheet and was just about to leave, but seemed to remember something. He hesitated for a moment, and then asked with some embarrassment:

"Director, can I take a leave next week?"

Although he had only joined the job for a little over a month, Leon's leave time was already longer than his "work" time, and he had just messed up the task before, was absent for more than a week, and as a result, he had only been back for less than an hour, and he had to ask for leave again. Even Leon himself felt a bit hard to speak.

However, for his "leave-prone constitution," the red-haired Director was quite easy to talk to, directly taking out a notebook and pen from the drawer, and said indifferently:

"Ask, ask, your injury hasn't fully healed yet, and you haven't been home much in the few days you were taken away for investigation, so it's normal to ask for leave... how long do you want to ask for?"

"This... I'm not very clear either..."

Leon hesitated for a moment, then asked back:

"How long does a general succession ceremony take? Do you know?"

Succession ceremony?

The red-haired Director thought for a while and replied:

"About one to four days? Titles of Earl and below have less property and no real power, basically won't toss for too long, a banquet to entertain guests is over, and it can end in half a day.

If it goes higher, they are basically large families. The change of title of a large family will affect many things, and even the royal family will send envoys to attend the ceremony. Others include internal preaching of family history, handover of industrial holders, clan elder meetings, etc., estimated that it won't be finished in three or four days."

Is it so troublesome...

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but wrinkle his brow.

"What if all the relatives and friends and guests are driven away, only simply reported to the royal family, and the key members within the family are almost dead? How short can it be shortened to?"

"That's estimated to be one day... but which large noble would do this?"

After blinking with some surprise, the red-haired Director, who was writing the leave note, couldn't help but look up and ask with confusion.

"Also, why are you asking this? Could it be that you are asking for leave to attend the ceremony of some large noble?"

"Uh... you could say that..."

After scratching his head awkwardly, Leon, who hadn't thought about how to explain the situation, had to be as tactful as possible:

"Director, do you remember what excuse I used when I investigated the sheep heart?" "Remember, go to the Laien family to recognize relatives, what's wrong?"

"Nothing wrong... it's just that I succeeded in recognizing relatives, and it was a particularly, particularly successful one..."

After hesitating to clench his fists, looking at the red-haired Director opposite who was confused, Leon said helplessly:

"Let me tell you this, I am now identified as the 29th Lionheart Duke, and next Tuesday is my succession ceremony."

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

Shocking! A newcomer who just turned regular in the bureau for a month asks me for leave, and the reason is actually to inherit the Duke's family business?

And what's more fatal is that the original first heir was killed by Leon himself! Could it be that he did it to inherit the title...

That's not right either! Leon shouldn't be such a person, and the Laien family died a bunch of key members because of his "untimely rescue," and it looks like they won't be able to jump for long. First destroy the Laien family and then inherit a hollow title? Who would do such a thing? But... but...

But how did you become a Duke when you recognized a relative?

Facing the sudden god-turn, even the well-informed red-haired Director couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise, and was stunned for a long time without knowing what to say.

After a while, after coming back to her senses from this shocking news, the red-haired Director said with a rather strange expression:

"You are not joking with me, are you?"

"Really not joking with you, I am really going to succeed the title..."

After briefly explaining the process he knew, Leon said helplessly:

"I really have no interest in this Laien family title, but no matter how I refuse, it's useless. They directly reported my name.

Because they were worried that I wouldn't cooperate, they even put anesthetics in my hospital meal, and called more than twenty guards to guard outside my ward. I also waited until my injury was a little better, and forcibly knocked them over before running out..."

"..."

Good fellow, no wonder you came back so fast. It turns out you weren't released because Old Charle exerted effort, but you broke out directly after succeeding the title...

After smacking her lips quite speechlessly, the red-haired Director said with a complex look:

"Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier?"

"I wanted to say it earlier, but when I came back, before I could speak, you kept asking me what happened to the Laien Blood Night. Just after explaining the Laien Blood Night to you, Senior Tang Mu came in.

Then you asked me to check Senior Tang Mu, scolded me, said I shouldn't risk contacting Bobby Laien, and then assigned me a task. I never had a chance to speak..."

"..."

Seems... it's really like this?

After recalling the previous situation and finding it was indeed the case, the red-haired Director couldn't help but open her mouth, and then asked with confusion:

"Then since you ran out, why do you want to ask me for leave to attend the succession ceremony? Also, what do you think about this Duke identity?"

"I told you just now. I really have no interest in this title. As for why I asked you for leave, I felt that only by attending the succession ceremony would I have a chance to directly shake off this trouble."

After hesitating slightly, Leon said:

"Director, you say, what would happen if I announced at the succession ceremony that I would donate all the Laien family's assets to the royal family as the Duke?"
