Money Shortage

Seeing that someone was willing to take over her case, Shelly also recommended, "Inspector, it's better to let the newbies practice on such small cases. This, this... this kid's ability is quite good."

Thomas saw that Captain Shelly did not know his name, so he wanted to introduce himself to the inspector.

But before he could speak, Luke said, "Your name should be Wallis Thomas, right?"

Thomas did not expect the inspector to say his full name.

As a newbie who had just joined the company, the feeling of being remembered and valued by his superior made Thomas immediately stand up straight.

"Yes, Inspector," he said loudly. "My name is Wallis Thomas, from the 135th batch of the Imperial Intelligence Academy. My graduation score was 689 points."

"Century calendar, 2646, February 4th, I did my internship in the Empire's Sothear Castle.

"On March 9, 2647, I was transferred to the Secret Intelligence Bureau of the Cape District of Wild Waves City and I'm in charge of office duties."

Luke had already found some information about Thomas on his phone.

There were not many records of Thomas in the early days.

However, to be able to graduate from the Imperial Intelligence Academy with a score of nearly 700 points meant that Thomas was very outstanding in the early stages.

However, he was from a lowly background, or else the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau wouldn't have gotten such a big advantage.

Luke patted Thomas on the shoulder and said, "I also graduated from the Imperial Intelligence Academy. In terms of qualifications, you are my junior. I admire your drive to fight for the opportunity. It suits my taste.

"I'll leave this case to you. Let me see the capabilities of a top student from the Imperial Intelligence Academy."

Thomas did not expect the inspector to be so approachable. Not only did he really give this case to a newcomer like him, but he also recognized him as a junior.

This honor and treatment made Thomas say excitedly, "Don't worry, Inspector. I won't bring shame to the Imperial Intelligence Academy."

"Work hard, I have high hopes for you!"

Luke didn't waste too much time on Thomas. After all, time makes the man. He wondered if he could still become the future "Silent" with his interference.

However, Luke was very optimistic about Thomas's future as he had the drive.

An opportunity was always given to those who were prepared and would fight for opportunities.

It could be taught.

Thomas, who had received the mission, went to find Hirm to understand her son's situation. Shelly seemed to have thought of something and she used the excuse to support the Wild Axe Party at night and escaped.

Luke returned to his office alone.

Secretary Karina brought him a cup of coffee and placed a stack of documents on the table.

"Inspector, these are the documents that need your signature before you took office. This one needs your stamp to take effect immediately..."

"What is this? Why is it in such a hurry?"

Karina explained, "Inspector before you took over, the work of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau was under the command of the Central Bureau. Now that you've taken over, the command will naturally be handed back.

"This is your seal. I found it on the corpse of Envelope."

Karina placed a seal on the table. There were also some other miscellaneous items that belonged to the previous inspector.

Luke briefly looked at the command transfer document, then picked up the seal and stamped the "Meteorite" mark on it.

"Have you handled the corpse?"

"Already incinerated." Karina took out a letter from the document and said, "This is a letter from the City Hall. We're told to find the stolen Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro as soon as possible."

Luke picked up the letter and asked, "If the Alchemist Association of the city had something stolen, shouldn't the main Security Department be in charge? What does it have to do with the Secret Intelligence Bureau?

"Even if the Secret Intelligence Bureau were to help, that would be the Central Bureau's business. Why did they come to the Cape District's bureau?"

Karina explained, "Inspector, the Central Bureau said that the thief who stole the Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro disappeared after entering our Cape District. He also said that this alchemy item was related to the Dragon Country. If the Red Dragon Nilcro was taken advantage of, it was very likely to cause a diplomatic incident.

"The City Hall gave us the task of finding this alchemy item. If we can't find it in time, it will affect the City Hall's financial allocation to us.

"Captain Black Mamba has always been in charge of this case..."

No wonder Shelly ran away so quickly. She wanted to kick the case to him.

The Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro was in Clear Sky's inventory.

He definitely wouldn't hand it over.

As for the diplomatic incident mentioned by the Central Bureau...

The Dragon Country was just a map where dragons gathered. There was no political system that represented the Dragon Country. How could there be diplomacy?

Since the greedy Red Dragon Nilcro had signed a summoning agreement with the Alchemist Association of Wild Waves City, both parties would automatically bear the risks brought about by the agreement.

Life and death were determined by fate, and wealth was determined by heaven.

The excuse given by the Central Bureau was purely to shirk responsibility and find fault.

However, the City Hall's deduction of money made things difficult for Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau.

How poor!

Luke flipped through the other documents. The application and reimbursement of various expenses accounted for a large part.

After the Wild Axe Party was "massacred" by Clear Sky, the Secret Intelligence Bureau of the Cape District, which was not rich, to begin with, was even worse off.

"Alright, I understand... Go back to work first. I'll go through these documents carefully."

"Yes, Inspector."

Karina left the office.

Luke was thinking about getting some money from somewhere. Only with wealth could they not be restrained by outsiders.

Only with money could one build their own rabbit hole.

Luke flipped through the guides on his phone, looking for projects that would make money quickly.

There were many ways to earn money, but a slow remedy could not solve a problem immediately.

Either the distance was too far, or it took a long time.

And the one that had a closer distance and required less time... was the Clover Armed Airship Robbery Case.

The person who created the Clover Armed Airship Robbery Case was the pirate led by Lady Tasia from Fish Bone Island. Not only did they rob ten tons of gold, but they also kidnapped more than ten upper-class people of Wild Waves City on the airship.

The subsequent rescue of the gold and hostages led to a very exciting and complicated story.

It could be considered a very outstanding storyline that happened in the area of Wild Waves City in the early years of The New Age.

However, now that Lady Tasia had lost the Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro, would she still dare to have any ideas about the Clover Armed Airship?

Luke spent the entire afternoon watching the story of the Clover Armed Airship Robbery Case.

Lady Tasia had made ample preparations for this robbery. She had not only prepared a Heart of Red Dragon Nilcro. When to attack, the boarding time, the robbery plan, and when to retreat. As well as time, location, personnel, and cooperation.

It meant that there was an extremely detailed plan behind this, and this plan would not be given up just because there was no alchemy item.

Moreover... Even if Lady Tasia wanted to give up, Luke wouldn't let her.

He looked forward to meeting her even more.
