Chapter 162: Chapter 153: I’m Investing in This Police Station!

"Got caught again?"

Lette was on the verge of breaking down. He waved his hand, instructing the believers to leave the room through the side door, then reached out to open the main door.

"What’s going on? Wasn’t she going to the police station to find another witch?"

"I don’t know, but just now a detective came looking for you, saying Emily ran over to harass a female detective at their station, and her emotions were very agitated.

The chief had no choice but to restrain her again."

Lette took a deep breath and rubbed his forehead. "Alright, alright, let’s go get her. Once we bring her back, I definitely need to give her a good talking to!"

Lilith laughed heartily. "Look at the bright side, at least this shows she really found another witch, right?"

"That’s true, it is indeed worth noting."

Lette, accompanied by Lilith, left the small tavern and headed towards the Upper City, quickly and effortlessly arriving at the Harbor City Police Station.

Here, it was still bustling with activity. The fog hadn’t dissipated, and all sorts of abnormal troubles were keeping the officers on edge.

Clearly, resolving the Immortal Disaster Crocodile incident hadn’t lessened their load.

Upon seeing Lette and Lilith arrive, the chief hastily scurried over to greet them.

"Mr. Wright, you’ve finally arrived. Miss Lillith... have you grown taller?"

Lette placed his hand on Lilith’s head. "Girls this age grow quickly. Plus, today’s outfit makes her look taller."

"Yes, yes, Miss Lillith is naturally beautiful and looks good in anything."

After some compliments, the chief immediately put on a bitter face.

"Mr. Wright, you really need to manage your companion. She came to us again today, wouldn’t let go of one of our female officers’ hands.

She kept asking about her well-being and family matters and suddenly started crying, swearing she’d take care of her forever and not let anyone bully her.

She scared our female detective so much she cried too and couldn’t shake her off.

Mr. Wright, I must clarify this to you.

Our female officer absolutely did not actively flirt or entice your companion!

Everyone in our police department can testify to this! I am even willing to vouch for my subordinate as the chief of the police station!"

At first, Lette didn’t understand what it meant, but after thinking a little, he got it.

So, the chief thought Emily had fallen in love with that female officer, and that emotional outburst was a love confession.

Outwardly, Emily was his noble companion and a mage used for leisure.

Logically, if his companion went to confess to another girl, he should be furious with jealousy.

The chief was concerned for his subordinate’s safety and thus made such assurances.

After figuring out the chief’s mindset, Lette was amused yet helpless.

Does this mean he’s now an innocent victim? And the person his partner’s cheating with is a girl!

To the nobles, this is quite shameful indeed.

Lette couldn’t help but laugh bitterly; he wished he hadn’t referred to Emily as his companion.

No matter how many calculations, he still got tricked by her.

He did nothing, yet his reputation was harmed.

Lette sighed. "I think you’ve misunderstood, Chief. The reason I came to Harbor City is actually to help my companion Emily find her long-lost sister.

She even told me yesterday that she found a clue about her sister within your police station.

This morning, she went happily to your place to find her sister.

The female officer she bothered is likely my companion’s long-lost sister."

"But..."

The chief’s expression was skeptical: "Our female officer and your companion Miss Emily don’t look alike."

"They’re cousins, not direct sisters."

"Oh~ that makes sense!"

"By the way, where are the two of them?"

"Oh, oh, they’re both in my office! Allow me to take you up!"

The chief quickly led Lette and Lilith upstairs and opened the door to his office.

Inside, Emily was sitting on a sofa, while a frightened female officer sat in the corner of the room.

Lette instantly recognized this girl as the disguising young woman who had once come to investigate his Blood and Flesh God Sect.

"Chief, who is this...?"

"Oh, I forgot to introduce her. This is Miss Unica August, one of our elite detectives at the station.

Unica, this is Mr. Wright and Miss Lillith."

"Lette, Lette!"

Emily rushed forward to him, pointing at Unica in the corner. "Look, look, I found her, I found her!"

"Alright, alright, calm down first. I know you’re excited to find your cousin. But you need to explain things clearly!

Look, you scared your cousin!"

For once, Emily smartly bowed her head to apologize.

"I’m sorry, I got too excited."

"Why are you apologizing to me?"

Emily quickly tidied her attire and turned to Unica, executing a standard noble’s bow followed by a polite smile.

"Unica, I apologize for my rudeness that startled you."

"It...it’s alright."

Unica was puzzled, wondering who this polite and noble-looking girl was?

Where did the previous frantic and intimidating woman go?

"Miss Unica, I apologize for my...companion’s earlier inappropriate behavior. Please forgive her as she was overly excited at the chance to meet her long-lost cousin."

"Cousin... but I haven’t heard my family elders mention any cousin?"

"Oh, my companion’s grandmother and your grandmother were cousins."

"Oh, really! Is...is that so?"

One of the tragedies of witches is that after a mother gives birth to a daughter, she perishes.

Lette concluded from this feature that Unica wouldn’t be clear about her maternal grandmother’s relations.

Sure enough, Unica’s expression wasn’t as certain as before.

At this point, the chief chimed in: "Oh come on, Unica, what’s there to doubt?

With someone of Sir Wright’s standing! Is there any need to deceive you?

Miss Emily is a Great Mage! Just yesterday, she heroically fought that man-eating crocodile, showing powerful strength and a sense of justice, she’s Harbor City’s hero.

People like them, needn’t cozy up to you?

What do they have to gain from you?"

Lette and Emily exchanged a glance, both feeling a bit awkward.

Because they were indeed lying and were after this girl’s witch identity, hence the attempt to forge connections.

Nevertheless, Unica was swayed considerably after hearing the chief’s words.

"Then...then should I call you...Emily cousin?"

"Just call me sister! ’Cousin’ sounds too distant."

A surge of emotion hit Emily, tears welling up in her eyes. "That’s wonderful, found another one."

Unica, being a detective, was perceptive. "Huh? Why did you add ’another’?"

Lette discreetly nudged Emily with his foot, then turned to Unica with a beaming smile.

"Oh, because Emily’s grandmother mentioned she had several estranged relatives. We recently found one, even younger than you.

She’s on her way to Harbor City now and should arrive in a day or two.

When she gets here, we’ll introduce you to her."

"R-really? Having two new cousins all of a sudden is a bit overwhelming for me."

Lette gave Emily a glance, then suddenly turned his attention to the police chief.

"Chief, I’d like to make an investment in our Harbor Police Station. I hope you could arrange an inspector position for my companion within the department, if that’s possible..."

Upon hearing this, the chief’s eyes lit up. He had long wanted to invite Emily to help at the station.

After all, she was a Great Mage with formidable abilities. If she joined, the station would certainly hold her in high esteem.

But considering she was a noble’s personal bodyguard and companion, such a thing only seemed like wishful thinking.

Unexpectedly, Sir Wright actually proposed it.

"Sure! Absolutely! Even Chief Detective would be possible!"
