Chapter 520: Untitled

The bureau has already found the location of the hostage?

Hearing the red-haired director's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then asked somewhat unwillingly:

"Director, when the Holy Spirit was brought down by the Masaini family, they had 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 made a "stop" gesture with both hands horizontally and vertically.

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

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

"You don't really think that the Ryan family's matter has passed like this, do you? You are not even in the observation period after the event, and you haven't even entered the review period. The investigators from the headquarters 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 have to face will increase again!"

"..."

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

However, just as the director said, his suspicion had not been completely cleared, so it was better to be steady recently to avoid attracting the investigators' suspicion and causing unnecessary trouble.

Anyway, the review is estimated to end in a week. The Chengjin Sect will not collapse for a while, and the people of the Masaini family will not 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 about to leave, but seemed to remember something. He hesitated for a while, and then asked somewhat embarrassedly:

"Director, can I ask for leave next week?"

Although he had only joined the job for a little over a month, Leon's leave time had been longer than his "working" time, and he had just messed up the task before, was absent for more than a week, and it hadn't been an hour since he came back, so he had to ask for leave again. Even Leon himself felt a bit hard to open his mouth.

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

"Ask, ask, your injury hasn't fully recovered yet, and you haven't been home for 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..."

Leon hesitated for a while, and 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 mostly have little 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 you go further up, they are basically big families. The change of title of big families 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., it is estimated that it will not be finished in three or four days."

Is it so troublesome...

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but frown.

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

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

After blinking her eyes with some surprise, the red-haired director, who was writing the leave note, couldn't help but look up and look over with a puzzled face.

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

"Uh... you can say so..."

After scratching his head embarrassedly, Leon, who hadn't thought about how to explain the situation, had to say as tactfully as possible:

"Director, do you remember what excuse I used when investigating the sheep heart?" "Remember, going to the Ryan 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 clenching his fists somewhat hesitantly, looking at the red-haired director who was confused, Leon said quite helplessly:

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

"..."

"???"

"!!!"

Shocking! A newcomer who has only been a regular in the bureau for a month asks me for leave, and the reason is 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 Ryan family has died a bunch of key members because of his "failure to rescue in time," and it looks like they won't be able to jump for long. First destroy the Ryan family and then succeed an empty-shell title? Who would do such a thing? But... but...

But how did you recognize a relative and become a Duke?

Facing the sudden reversal, 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 recovering from this shocking news, the red-haired director said with a rather strange expression:

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

"I'm really not joking with you, I'm really going to succeed the title..."

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

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

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 broke through them after my injury got a little better and ran out..."

"..."

Good guy, no wonder you came back so fast. It turns out you weren't released because Old Charle exerted force, 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 Ryan Blood Night. Just after explaining the Ryan Blood Night to you, Senior Tom came in.

Then you asked me to check Senior Tom, scolded me, said I shouldn't take the risk to contact Bobby Ryan, 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 that it was indeed the case, the red-haired director couldn't help but open her mouth, and then asked with a puzzled face:

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

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

After hesitating for a while, Leon said:

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