Chapter 34: Interrogation Results
After hearing the report from Sebastian, Eleanor fell silent for a few moments. She thought over the situation carefully and finally decided to get involved. As the sister of Uncle Grant, helping Mayor Grant might be a wise decision for the future.
She said, "Firstly, I haven’t decided to help Mayor Grant yet. But I might in the future. I want a copy of the said photos. Do not touch the originals. I don’t want to startle the snake unless I decide to kill it."
She continued, "Find out who is behind the embezzlement of public funds. Then the IT team will investigate the matter thoroughly. As for her husband’s issue, it won’t be a big problem. Also, I want a full investigation on the MP’s current situation. I have no political understanding of the Kingdom. Does Clan Blanc have any experts in political matters I can hire?"
Ophelia said, "I will retrieve a copy of the photos if they’re in the MP’s possession. If it’s a printed copy, that will be easy. But if it’s digital, I will need help from the IT team."
Eleanor opened a drawer and retrieved a small device. "Take this. All you have to do is turn on the MP’s personal computer and place this device within one meter of it. Then press the red button in the center. No need to enter a password or anything. Just power it on. Make sure no one is around the computer at that time. Then send me a message, and I’ll take care of the rest."
Ophelia took the device and nodded. "Okay. I’ll go there tonight."
Sebastian said, "There will be many people at the mayor’s office. If we want to investigate everyone, we’ll need more manpower. Besides, if we’re all busy with tasks outside, who will handle your security?"
Eleanor replied, "I think you don’t know why only Elizabeths can be the head of the Raynor Clan. Your elders either forgot to teach you or deliberately avoided the topic. As you’re my people now, I’ll tell you one thing... when an Elizabeth uses their bloodline power, it’s comparable to a natural disaster. We refrain from acting because we don’t want to cause destruction. That’s why we carry such a large security force. But your point is valid. I need more security personnel. I’ll call Grandpa Dominic for support."
Sebastian said, "If you’re calling the Clan Head, please ask for more shadow guards. Currently, fifty guards are on duty to protect you and the young miss, but we only have six shadow guards."
Isadora added, "Raphael’s mother is a political expert. She once worked as the Private Secretary of a Prime Minister. Her name is Juliette Blanc. If you can hire her, she could be a valuable asset."
Eleanor said, "Okay. Any other suggestions before I call Grandpa Dominic?"
Ophelia said, "There are several members in our clan who have shadow power but aren’t skilled in combat. They weren’t eligible to become shadow guards and are doing normal jobs. If you hire them, they could add value to your team."
Eleanor asked, "How many of them are women?"
"I think more than twenty," Ophelia replied.
Eleanor nodded. "Okay. I’ll ask Grandpa Dominic about them. Thank you."
She then called Dominic Blanc. "Hello, Grandpa. How are you?"
Dominic responded, "I’m fine, Eleanor. You’re calling early... did something happen?"
She smiled. "No, Grandpa. I just need your help. After yesterday’s attack, I’ve been thinking about upgrading my security team. If you could deploy more shadow guards, it would be a great help."
Dominic sighed. "In that case, I won’t be much help. All the shadow guards I can spare are already under your clan’s employment. The next batch of trainees won’t be ready for another six months. I can send more security guards if needed, but for shadow guards, you’ll need to talk to your Clan Head."
Eleanor said, "Thank you for the advice. I’ll call Grandma later. I also heard there are members of your clan with shadow power who aren’t shadow guards. Can you send them to me?"
Dominic said, "Yes, there are a few. But they mostly work in various positions within human society. Are you sure you want them? They lack combat skills... that’s why they didn’t become shadow guards."
Eleanor replied, "That’s okay. I’ll deploy them for jobs they’re good at. Their powers will still be useful. Please send them a message that I’m offering employment as personal staff or positions in my company. They will receive salaries from Heimdall Technologies, which currently offers the highest pay in the kingdom. As members of Clan Blanc, they don’t need to apply through formal channels. They can send their CVs to Sebastian Blanc, and I’ll personally review them."
Dominic said, "That I can do. You’ll have a result by tomorrow."
Eleanor added, "I have another request, Grandpa. I want to employ Juliette Blanc. Is that possible?"
Dominic sighed again. "That’ll be difficult. She’s over 200 years old now and has retired. She’s writing history books these days. As a former public figure, she can’t even go outside without a disguise. I doubt she’ll agree to work again."
Eleanor said earnestly, "Grandpa, please just send her a message that I’d like to meet her... just one meeting. I will always respect her choice."
Dominic agreed. "Okay. That can be arranged."
"Thank you, Grandpa. I’ll call you later."
She ended the call and turned to the Clan Blanc members in front of her. "I’ll be depending on you. Please contact your family members who might be willing to join us. I’ll buy the surrounding villas for your clan so you can stay close and won’t have any accommodation problems."
Sebastian nodded. "That’s a good idea. It’ll help with perimeter security."
Eleanor smiled. "Good. You all can go rest now. I’ll head to Stockport in two hours."
All six of them dissolved into shadows and exited the study.
Eleanor then picked up her phone and dialed Fiona’s number.
"Eleanor, I thought you’d call me last night after the incident," Fiona said as she picked up.
Eleanor replied, "Good morning, Grandma. It was a small matter. If the supernatural world had been involved, I would’ve called you immediately."
"I figured. How’s my great-granddaughter doing?" Fiona asked.
"She was brave. Ethan came shortly after the incident, and they played together. I think she’s already forgotten about it."
"That’s good. But I think you should stay with her today, just in case the memory resurfaces. If you have important work, send her to my villa."
"Don’t worry, Ethan is here to accompany her," Eleanor replied.
"Oh! Did he stay overnight?" Fiona asked teasingly.
"Yes, and we are not together," Eleanor replied, enunciating each word.
On the other side, Fiona laughed heartily.
