Chapter 986: 0583 It

"What did you say?"

Looking at the lazy young man with a tired face in front of her, Princess Veronika stood up from her chair and asked in shock:

"Say it again? What happened to the Kingdom of Krolok?"

"The Kingdom of Krolok is gone. All the territory has been burned to the ground. The 1.3 million citizens who survived are preparing to join our kingdom. You need to be prepared to receive them."

After repeating the message the Director asked him to convey, Tang Mu, who had two large dark circles under his eyes, added with drooping eyelids:

"The matter of accepting the refugees of the Kingdom of Krolok was decided by Li Ang... um... by your Prince. According to him, in the process of serving as an envoy to the Kingdom of Krolok, he noticed the civil strife in the Krolok royal family, so he helped the Krolok royal family restore order at the invitation of the Sixth Princess Fei Liya."

"However, although he tried his best to do it, he was alone and lacked manpower. Coupled with a sudden natural disaster, he failed to preserve the Kingdom of Krolok and only barely saved the disaster-stricken citizens of the Kingdom of Krolok and a small portion of precious facilities..."

So that means... Li Ang packed up the entire "essence" of the Kingdom of Krolok on this mission?

After hearing the situation relayed by Tang Mu, Princess Veronika couldn't help but take a deep breath, and clusters of excited red clouds appeared on her beautiful face.

So pies really do fall from the sky!

No! Can't say that. This pie didn't fall from the sky, but was found by Li Ang for her! The effect of his mission this time is simply... God... How on earth did he do it?

Until now, she still couldn't believe that such a huge pure gold pie would smash into the kingdom. Feeling a bit dizzy from excitement, Princess Veronika had to reach out and support the tabletop of the desk, sit back in her seat bit by bit, and then nodded slightly:

"I see. I will immediately arrange for manpower to prepare to receive the citizens of the Kingdom of Krolok, and I guarantee there will be no mistakes... Mr. Tang Mu, besides these, does Li Ang have any other words for you to convey?"

"Doesn't seem like it."

After frowning and recalling, the lazy young man shook his head:

"The words the Director asked me to convey are just these. Although they are not all the original words, the meaning should not be omitted... Oh, by the way."

Speaking of this, suddenly remembering something, the lazy young man said:

"If I have to say it, there is one more sentence. He knows that the kingdom's finances have been tight in recent years, and the military and mining reforms are imminent, and money is waiting to be used everywhere. The burden of suddenly resettling 1.3 million people is very heavy. So if the kingdom cannot bear it, it can also cooperate with the Kingdom of Oleson..."

"No need!"

Just like the guess of a certain prince who had embarked on a path of no return, the moment she heard the word "cooperate," Princess Veronika refused decisively without even 0.01 seconds of hesitation:

"Our kingdom is duty-bound to help disaster-stricken citizens. Even if the finances are tight, we must do it!"

"Mr. Tang Mu, please tell Li Ang that he doesn't need to worry about the kingdom's finances. Bring back as many people as there are! Even if I sell the palace for money, I will definitely be able to settle everyone!"

"Okay, I will find a way to convey it to him."

"Thank you."

Politely thanking the lazy young man and calling a lady-in-waiting to send him out of her office, Princess Veronika, with a reserved expression, let out a long breath.

Immediately after, she moved away the mountain of documents on the table, picked up a polished small photo frame, and then kissed the photo of Li Ang's helpless face in the frame hard, saying to herself with a smile like a flower:

"Kiss first to make do, and I'll make up for the rest when you come back~"

Phew... finally back...

After walking off the ferry emitting white smoke with the emerald-eyed girl and stepping onto the pier of the capital's canal, Li Ang couldn't help but feel relaxed all over, feeling that the whole person was much more comfortable.

After being on a business trip for more than a month, tossing and turning back and forth, and finally returning to familiar land, the noisy world that was originally disgusting became cute.

The noisy sirens that never stopped on the canal, the sour smell lingering under the chimney, the wooden floor under his feet whose original color could no longer be seen—everything was so familiar... Even the pickpockets with thief-like eyes on the pier didn't look as hateful as before.

After kicking down a pickpocket who was cutting a leather bag, and sending the pickpocket to the pier's security office amidst the grateful thanks of the victim, Li Ang paid the fare with the five copper wheel reward given by the security office, and then boarded a carriage to the Police Department with Fei Liya.

The 1.3 million citizens of the Kingdom of Krolok had arrived at the inner harbor of Li Ang County by boat and were accepting preliminary resettlement. And he only needed to escort Princess Fei Liya to the Bureau of Cleanup and hand her over to the Director, and this investigation mission would be completely over, and he could apply for vacation.

And before he went out, although he had told Anna and the others that he wouldn't be able to go home for a long time this time, this was the first time he had been away for so long, and he didn't know if they were used to it... Ugh...

Looking at Fei Liya, who was secretly clenching the corner of her skirt and whose expression was also very nervous, Li Ang's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly.

Although she was once the omnipotent Atifi 01, Fei Liya, who had lost her intellectual core, was now just a 12 or 13-year-old child. The kingdom was home to him, but to her, it was a completely strange place.

Further considering her identity as a former member of the King-Slaying Society and the last blood descendant of the Krolok royal family, she would inevitably be subject to strict "protection" by the entire Bureau of Cleanup in the future. Even if he tried to plead for her, it would be difficult to have any freedom.

And she must understand this kind of thing. Facing the prospect that probably wouldn't be too good, her mood at the moment should be the opposite of his, probably quite heavy.

"Don't worry."

After reaching out and patting Fei Liya's head, Li Ang looked at her emerald eyes full of unease and comforted her warmly:

"I will do what I promised your brother. Although it is impossible to give you complete freedom and you will inevitably have to accept heavy protection, I won't let you live that kind of imprisoned life. And the General Bureau has too many things to do recently, so you should stay in our Virgo branch for a long time."

"Hmm..."

Hearing Li Ang's promise, the emerald-eyed girl responded in a low voice, but the unease in her eyes didn't decrease, but became more than before.

So... she wasn't worried about the Bureau of Cleanup, but about our Virgo branch?

Through the subtle changes in Fei Liya's expression, Li Ang keenly identified the source of her unease, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise, then realized:

"Did you hear some rumors about our branch from others before?" ===== CHAPTER 987 =====
