Chapter 979: Pigeon... Pigeon for a Day

Pigeon... pigeon for a day

Fish has been out of rhythm lately, and his condition is really poor—he’s applying for a pigeon day to adjust slightly... sorry...

(Leave of Absence Mini-Drama—Possible Timeline)

After glancing at the three directors of the Zodiac Divisions and Leon, who had come in place of Olivia, the Taurus Director spoke with a serious expression:

“Everyone, I’ve called you here today because there’s a matter of great importance we need to discuss.”

Saying this, the Taurus Director pulled out a world map and spread it across the central conference table, then tapped his fingertip on the blackened Kingdom of Qianfan, frowning as he announced:

“After verification by myself and the Sagittarius Director, we’ve confirmed that the royal ship of the Saio Kingdom has been fully transformed into a ghost ship. We must send someone to investigate as soon as possible... who volunteers?”

“I can go.”

After hearing the Taurus Director’s words, the Pisces Director, slender and graceful, wrapped in fine black gauze, stood up and raised her right hand adorned with over twenty gemstone rings, her voice soft and melodious as she volunteered:

“The Saio royal ship has become a ghost ship, and I specialize in matters of the soul—let me go.”

“I can go too.”

After the Pisces Director finished, the Aquarius Director, pale and visibly unwell, coughed once and added in a hoarse voice:

“The territory of the Saio Kingdom is constantly shifting, making it hard for ordinary people to locate—yet I’m intimately familiar with its hydrology and oceanic weather. I can go.”

“Maybe I should go instead.”

After touching the thick stitches on his neck, the Scorpio Director stood and declared with firm conviction:

“The Saio Kingdom ultimately lies at sea, and among my anomalies are many marine creature puppets—I may not be able to handle it, but I can ensure the investigation team withdraws safely.”

“Good.”

Watching the three directors who had all volunteered, the Taurus Director nodded in satisfaction, then unconsciously shifted his gaze to Leon, the only one still seated.

“Uh... I guess I could go too...”

Feeling embarrassed under the scrutiny of the senior directors, Leon hesitated, then stood to represent the Virgo Division, scratching the back of his head:

“The Saio Kingdom raids externally and extorts taxes ruthlessly internally—its people revolt every year—and I’m especially skilled at orchestrating coups. Maybe I should go handle it...”

“Sit down! You’re going nowhere!”
