Chapter 880: 477 Vacation, Vacation~

Can a wish be granted without leading to a good outcome?

After hearing the Director's report on the 【Wish Luo Pan】, Li Ang frowned and pondered as a prompt echoed in his mind: "Your resistance to this anomaly has increased significantly."

According to the Director's description, using the 【Wish Luo Pan】 seemingly requires no cost, yet every anomaly Li Ang has encountered behaves differently; an anomaly with such powerful effects should demand a terrifying price.

Therefore, if using the 【Wish Luo Pan】 truly requires no cost, then perhaps the "not necessarily beautiful" outcome itself is the price one must pay to use it.

This thing... feels somewhat sinister...

"By the way, Director."

Having firmly memorized the intelligence regarding the 【Wish Luo Pan】, Li Ang couldn't help but ask:

"You know so much about the 【Wish Luo Pan】; did you ever use it?"

"I... I suppose I have used it..."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired Director's expression froze; she then pressed her lips together and replied somewhat briefly:

"When the Ophiuchus Branch defected, it forced the Bureau's hands, so the Bureau used the 【Wish Luo Pan】 once to see if there was a way to quell the Ophiuchus Branch's rebellion, and then... I was the one who executed that plan."

"I see..."

Seeing the red-haired Director's slightly downcast mood, Li Ang, who had accidentally stepped on a landmine, quickly changed the subject:

"Well... regarding the incident where the palace was attacked by an anomaly, the Bureau should be sending an investigator down, right? When will this investigator arrive?"

"Hard to say."

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

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

Of the only two willing to come, Gamu was proven to be a fake identity of the Aquarius Director, and the female investigator who was scolded twice by Heishanyang is also under investigation due to her acquaintance with Gamu, so no one should be coming for a short while."

"..."

Ah, so it can be like this?

Although his sole purpose was to change the subject, after hearing the red-haired Director's reply, Li Ang couldn't help but speak in exasperation:

"Does that mean my coup... I mean, the matter of me rescuing the princess, was just brushed aside like that? The Bureau isn't even going to investigate?"

"You said it yourself; in this matter, you only went to rescue people."

Upon hearing this, the red-haired Director smiled and said:

"If it were like the Ryan Blood Night, with numerous targeted casualties and suspected cleaners violating regulations by using anomalies, the Bureau would definitely send people to investigate to the end; those investigators would have no choice but to come.

But the result of the palace attack, aside from dozens of guards being injured, involved no deaths, and no members of the royal family were in danger, so although the incident was major, for the Bureau, the priority of the investigation is actually not that high."

Thinking about it that way, it makes sense...

After listening to the Director's analysis, Li Ang nodded in agreement.

For the Thrush Kingdom, the princess seizing power via a coup is certainly a huge matter, but for the Cleaners Bureau, who sits on the throne isn't very important; what truly matters is whether the Thrush royal bloodline has been extinguished.

Since the royal bloodline is intact, there really isn't much for the Cleaners Bureau to investigate; in fact, if it hadn't involved the royal family, he probably could have just filed a report and passed it directly.

Hmm... I should note this situation; it might come in handy when I rebel next time.

"Li Ang."

Just as Li Ang, based on the Cleaners Bureau's reaction, began to gauge the Bureau's red lines, the red-haired Director suddenly called his name softly and then said:

"For the next few days, why don't you take a vacation?"

"Huh?"

"Didn't you accept the investigation mission to the Crocus Kingdom?"

Seeing Li Ang's somewhat confused expression, the red-haired Director reminded him:

"Even if you can take an airship, this field mission won't be short in duration; you might not be able to return for a while.

Lord Taurus also needs a few days to prepare, and counting the time to negotiate with the Scorpio Branch, it could even drag on for a week, so I was thinking, why not use this gap to give you a few days off so you can spend more time with your family."

It really is...

After hearing the red-haired Director's reminder, Li Ang finally realized that he hadn't been home much lately, and with an overseas business trip coming up soon, he indeed should spend more time with his family.

"Thank you, Director!"

After looking gratefully at the red-haired Director, Li Ang asked:

"So I start my vacation tomorrow?"

"Today, or rather, right now is fine."

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

"Hmm... by the way, there's another matter; Emma's daughter has recovered her body and can leave Baohua Manor.

Before going on a mission yesterday, she asked me to help the child with the paperwork to attend Bridge Public School as well, to keep your younger brother and sister company so she isn't always alone at home; if you have time these two days, could you help her with the enrollment procedures?"

Little Ellie can go to school already?

After hearing the red-haired Director's words, recalling that timid-eyed, always-wearing-a-large-sun-soft-hat, soft-spoken, well-behaved girl, a smile inevitably appeared on Li Ang's face.

"Alright, guaranteed no problem!"

"Indeed, if you handle this matter, it will definitely be no problem."

Flipping through the *Royal Mail* in his hand and skimming the front-page news in a single glance, the red-haired Director couldn't help but pout, then sighed with a smile:

"An administrative civil servant like me, there are at least eight, if not ten, in the Police Department, and even more across the entire kingdom; without a hundred, there must be eighty, really quite unremarkable!

But the honorable Prince is different; for a small civil servant like me, things that are as hard as climbing to the sky, the Prince probably just needs to give an order, and people will rush to get them done; this is truly enviable.

Hmm, but compared to his hotshot power, what makes the Prince most enviable is actually that he has a good wife; their harmony is like a zither and lute, their love so deep it makes one jealous~"

"..."

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

Suddenly being sarcasted for no reason, Li Ang couldn't help but frown, then asked somewhat puzzled:

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Nothing much."

Opening the inner pages of the newspaper, and after turning the front page toward Li Ang, the red-haired director slurped some tea, then said with a smile:

"Just reading the paper, suddenly feeling a bit reflective, that's all."

Just reading the paper?

Blinking in confusion, Li Ang followed the red-haired director's action and instinctively looked at the newspaper in her hand.

Royal Mail: "Saiou Kingdom Marriage Alliance Rejected, Princess: My Heart Has Been Eaten by a Lion"

"..."

(Shaking my head in confusion)
