Chapter 882: Chapter 711, Hero Enters the City (One more chapter today). Chapter 882: Chapter 711, Hero Enters the City (One more chapter today). Inspector?
This position, Wu Heng was quite familiar with it.
When he was at Gold and Silver Island, he too had been 'interrogated' by an inspector.
Later, it was also found out that he had been targeted for investigation because someone had bribed this inspector, looking for some leverage against him.
When the inspector left the island, Wu Heng also secretly killed him to avoid any further danger.
But it also proved that inspectors indeed had some real power.
As long as they could find evidence, they could directly suspend anyone within the local association from their duties and subject them to investigation.
Similarly, possessing such power, they would undoubtedly offend some people.
Wu Heng received the appointment letter, opened it, and saw an inspector's emblem tucked inside.
“Becoming an inspector, my status as the flag-bearer of Gold and Silver Island is unaffected, right?”
Tapani said, “If it's not written on the appointment letter, it means it is unaffected. You hold both identities.”
“Thank you, Elder,” Wu Heng expressed his gratitude.
“No need to thank me, this is headquarters valuing you and what you deserve,” Tapani said with a smile.
Since last time, when Wu Heng had killed the city lord and saved everyone on the investigative team,
The entire investigative team's attitude towards him also changed, becoming markedly different from the perfunctory approach they had taken before.
Even the priest now smiled and greeted him, chatting for a bit upon meeting.
He was considered a comrade who had shared adversities.
Wu Heng stored the appointment letter and the emblem in his space ring, then returned to his seat on the sofa and asked, “Elder, has headquarters not mentioned anything about subsequent investigations?”
There were definitely some arrangements from headquarters, but it was clear they did not care to make them public.
Otherwise, people outside would have started discussing it already.
Tapani took a sip of his tea, “Headquarters is taking this matter very seriously. More people will arrive in NetaLee City later to hold Yeko Kingdom accountable and conduct investigations.”
“So, there's nothing for us to do then!”
Tapani shook his head, “Can't quite say that; the entire city's defense still requires your skeletons, and since your investigative skills are strong, you might need to accompany them for the investigation. Wait until the other elders arrive.”
Other elders?
That meant more elders were coming.
The evaluation of an elder, both in terms of level and power, would definitely be higher.
It seemed they were gathering high-level professionals to exert pressure on Yeko Kingdom.
Wu Heng nodded and continued, “The Fifth Princess spoke to me yesterday about the city's defense forces. She wants to sign a mutual defense agreement with Gold and Silver Island and increase the military presence in the city.”
“That's your business, just discuss it amongst yourselves,” Tapani said casually.
Everyone could see what the entire city was like.
Having Wu Heng's skeletons remain was the best choice for the Fifth Princess.
It was actually quite amusing.
The once despised Necromancer was now needed back to handle the city's defenses.
“Alright,” Wu Heng said, then asked, “By the way, Elder, when will the rewards for First-Class Merits be coming?”
“They should be a bit later; why?”
“I'm thinking of writing to headquarters to specify the type of reward before they arrive. I can't use many of the rewards previously given,” Wu Heng stated.
“Then write it earlier, once the rewards are registered for distribution, they cannot be changed. Sending it in advance might still make a difference,” Tapani suggested.
“I'll write now and send it directly.”
Tapani took out an association envelope and paper from the drawer, Wu Heng took them and wrote immediately.
The first part was a gratitude towards the association, the latter was specifying the desired rewards.
He had already thought about what rewards he wanted.
The remaining parts of the [Hundred Soldiers Set].
If other components were still at the association, they should be awarded to him since he already had the robe, keeping the other parts would not be useful.
If not, receiving other rewards would not be a loss either.
After quickly finishing, he put it into the envelope.
Wu Heng then said, “Elder, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first.”
Tapani nodded, “Don't wander around lately, wait for the other people from headquarters, you'll need to be present at that time too.”
“Alright.”
“Also, this hasn't been disclosed to the public since it involves negotiations with Yeko Kingdom. Don't mention it outside,” Tapani instructed again.
“Understood,” Wu Heng agreed.
“Then go ahead.”
Wu Heng nodded and left the study directly.
He delivered the letter he had just written to the reception and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion.
Upon returning home,
He went straight upstairs back to the study.
Inside the study, Glenda was crafting a new story at the desk; Xiao Xiao and Bella, who had gone out with him, also flew to their viewing area.
Starting to search for movies on the tablet.
Glenda asked, “How did it go? Did the headquarters make their arrangements?”
“The arrangements are in place. In a few days, new association elders will arrive to continue investigating the affairs of Yeko Kingdom. I received a First-Class Merit and the identity of an inspector,” Wu Heng said.
“Not bad, you've become an inspector too,” Glenda said with a laugh.
“Now I also have a reason to investigate some people within the association,” Wu Heng sat down in the chair.
Glenda then asked, “Why didn't they let you continue with the investigation of Yeko Kingdom?”
Wu Heng shook his head, “Not sure, they only mentioned that I might be needed to cooperate at the time.”
“It's good that they don't need you; some trivial matters don't help much in improving you,” Glenda noted.
Wu Heng agreed with the statement.
He had tied himself to the Fifth Princess, thus entering the disputes within Yeko Kingdom.
Later, interacting with the internal politics of the kingdom, there would be no loss even if he was not directly involved.
