Saint Laurent Prison Warden

Chapter 85 Peter's Helplessness

"Yes Yes!

Why, no problem! Richard has promised to issue a letter of apology, and I will get it soon. "

Although he was alone, Vice President Pete was still in his office, nodding and bowing to the empty office, as if the leader was right in front of him.

"How could that be? Don't worry, boss. Richard has already written the letter of understanding. I can just ask him to get it.

That is, he has no magic power and cannot use the communication conch. It is a bit troublesome for me to find him, otherwise I would have obtained it long ago."

"Don't worry! This is definitely a qualified letter of understanding. I personally watched him write it.

That's right, that's right. No problem! I promise! Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Please don't say that, it's what I should do. Okay, let's do it this way for now, wait for my good news."

Vice President Pete hung up the conch, took a deep breath, then gritted his teeth and slammed the conch on the table.

He stamped his feet in anger and started to curse:

"This Richard! Did he take my instructions to heart?

It’s been almost five days, and he still hasn’t brought the letter of apology. If the Xingyue Society leaders in the capital don’t see the letter of apology, I won’t be able to live anymore.”

When Pete thought about what happened in the past few days, his head was overwhelmed.

Since the first day he handed the letter of understanding to Richard, this guy started to delay him in various ways.
Every time he went to see Richard, Richard would say, "I'm already writing it and it will be finished soon."

The attitude became better and better, but there was no result.

Richard’s main theme is [I will listen to whatever you say, but I won’t do anything about you].

In the past two days, Richard couldn't even be found, leaving Pete with no place to vent his anger and no place to use his strength.

"What should I do……"

Pete scratched his hair and ears in distress, pacing back and forth, but he couldn't think of any solution.

“I don’t know what kind of conflict this Richard has with the Xingyue Society of the Travel City, but it actually caused the leaders of the Imperial Capital to call so many times to ask about it.

This young man is still too arrogant!

Even if he had great abilities, could he still defeat the Xingyue Society? People just didn't like to argue with him. When the leaders above really got serious, they would kill him with just a few words.

I was acting as a middleman for him, but he didn't take the opportunity to resolve the conflict and was even putting on airs.

Don't be stupid.

No, I have to go find him right away. It doesn’t matter if he kills himself, but if he gets me involved, that would be a big problem.”

Vice President Pitt rushed to the villa in Oxford and was shocked to hear the bad news.

Diana told him with absolute certainty: "I'm sorry, Vice Dean. It's not that I don't want to tell Teacher Richard about your words, but Teacher Richard really hasn't been here recently.

I haven't seen him in the past two days.

Excuse me, has something happened to Mr. Richard? Why hasn't he come to see Xiaoxiao?"

"It's been two days! He really hasn't been here. Do you have any emergency way to contact Richard?" Pete scratched his head anxiously.

Diana looked aggrieved.

"Teacher Richard really never came! I don't have any way to contact the teacher.

"Vice-President, you are a big shot in the whole school, but you can't contact Mr. Richard. I am just a student, what can I do?"

“Yeah, I was confused.

I'll look for him somewhere else. If he comes looking for you, you must remember to tell me in time."

Pitt had no choice but to leave the villa in Oxford.

After much thought, he decided to first figure out Richard's current location.

Fortunately, he still has a wide network of contacts in the city of travel.

After dialing several conch shells, Pete finally found out Richard's whereabouts - St. Laurent Prison.

However, this news was not optimistic for him.

“It turns out that Richard has become Maher’s permanent direct subordinate.

No wonder even the leader of the Xingyue Society in the imperial capital came to apologize to him.

Oh no, I did something wrong.

They are gods fighting, wouldn't it be uncomfortable for me to get involved?
But I still wanted to save face and made a big promise in front of the leaders of the imperial capital. What should I do?
In the past, when Richard only had Hank, the old man, to protect him, I couldn't control him. Now that Richard's backer has become permanent, how can I do anything to him? "

Vice President Pete was so anxious that he was scratching his head and running around like an ant on hot pan.

"No, I don't have enough weight. Even if I find Richard and he is unwilling to issue a letter of apology, I can't do anything to him. I have to find someone higher up.

Who should I look for?

That person must be important enough to make Richard obey, and he must not be a member of the Dome Mage Corps."

Vice President Peter's eyes lit up and he clapped his hands vigorously.

"Got it! Let's find her!"

……

……

rustle.

Xingge shook his right wrist deftly and left a signature as sharp as a knife in the lower right corner of the document.

She raised her eyelids, glanced at Vice President Peter who was smiling flatteringly beside her, and said expressionlessly:

“Vice President Pete, I have a question.

The Xingyue Society of the Imperial Capital wants a letter of forgiveness from Richard, and it is the Xingyue Society of the Imperial Capital that should come forward and apologize to Richard.

After they obtained Richard's forgiveness, Richard gave a written letter of understanding to the Star-Moon Society in the imperial capital under the notarization of the local court in the city where we traveled.

This process is formal and legal.

What does the matter between Richard and the Imperial Capital Star Moon Society have to do with you, the vice president of a magic academy?"

"This..." Peter smiled awkwardly: "I don't want to get involved either. The leaders in the capital have given the order to me. I am a nobody and my words are not taken seriously. How dare I offend them? I can only take it on."

"Humph." Xing Ge sneered, "We, Xingyue Club, have mistakenly arrested Richard, and we should indeed compensate him and ask for his forgiveness.

But the matter between Richard and our Star-Moon Society should be a public matter.

You people just like to handle public matters in private and private matters in public, to play with power and violate rules at will in order to demonstrate your so-called privileges that are above the rules.

As a result, many things that could have been handled normally have been made convoluted and complicated by you, and cannot be handled anymore.

It’s really annoying.”

"Yes, yes, City Lord, you are right."

Old Pete agreed with a smile, but he was cursing in his heart.

You are noble and you are amazing! You can handle things impartially every day because you have someone protecting you. Without your powerful parents, I don't believe you can be any better than me.
Old Pete only dared to think these words in his heart; he didn't dare to say a word out loud.

He didn't even dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, for fear of offending the Lord of Xingge City.

“My Lord City Lord, I was confused at the time and agreed to that leader’s request.

Now I feel like I am riding on that giant dragon.

I clearly knew that the dragon could crush me to death if it turned over, but I couldn't get down, and I didn't dare to get down. I went to find Richard, which offended Richard and the Dome Mage Corps.

I didn't look for Richard. I offended the leaders of the capital again. I spent most of the day trying to please neither side.

It is really hard. After thinking about it, I think only you can save me. "

Xingge sneered and said, “The one who arrested Richard was the Xingyue Society of our Travel City.

We should be the ones to ask for the letter of understanding.

I didn't even ask Richard to give us a letter of apology, but he was anxious. He really wanted to extend his hand.

Peter, who in the capital asked you to go find Richard?"

The flattering smile on Old Peter's face froze immediately: "This... City Lord Xingge, please be kind and let me go. I don't dare to offend him."

Xingge put down the feather pen in her hand and tilted her neck.

"You don't dare to offend him, but you dare to offend me? Why, do you think I'm not as powerful as him?"

"It's a misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding. Oh, it's so difficult for me. I don't dare to offend either side."

Old Pete slapped himself on both sides and cried:

"My Lord City Lord, if you insist on me telling you, I will definitely tell you, but after that, I can only be your retainer and depend on you for my survival."

"Don't come close to me, I don't want you. Your magic academy is on the same path as ours." Xingge shook his head and stopped questioning Old Pete.

She picked up the quill and began to mark the papers again.

She didn't promise to help Old Pete, nor did she say she wouldn't help. She didn't ask Old Pete to sit down, nor did she ask Old Pete to leave.

Old Pete stood by, not knowing whether to sit, stand, walk or stay, which made him very uncomfortable.

After Xingge had reviewed five files in succession, he spoke again calmly.

"Tell me. How did you come to ask me for help?
Vice Dean Pete, I'm really surprised that you are the vice dean of the School of Magic, and you have a nominal affiliation with Richard.

Richard dared not to obey your orders, why do you think I can order Richard?"

Why? Do I need to tell you?

[The Most Affectionate Person in Silver City] Even children on the street know that the object of my affection is you.

How could you not be clear about this in your mind?

Mayor, what do you want me to answer?

Old Pete stared at Xingge awkwardly, trying to see some expression on Xingge's face.

But Xingge's expression was so calm that he couldn't tell anything.

He did not dare to be presumptuous and could only reply awkwardly: "You are the lord of our Travel City, and you are the most powerful in the Travel City.

Richard will definitely listen to you."

"Don't you have any impolite thoughts in your mind?" Xingge said coldly without even raising her head: "Richard and I have nothing to do with each other, do you understand?"

"I understand!" Vice President Peter said quickly, "I never believe those rumors."

"I hope you really understand." Xingge looked at Pete coldly and said to him:

“Go ahead. Richard and our Xingyue Club’s affairs have nothing to do with you. I will handle it myself.

If the so-called leader above you causes you trouble, just tell him directly that it was me who stopped you from going to Richard.

Also, please tell him for me.

Richard is my savior, I will protect him at all costs. Don't think of using him to test my attitude. He can't afford the price of testing me. "

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Mayor, I got it. I promise to convey your words," Old Pete felt a shock behind him, as if he had been pardoned. He quickly slipped out of Xingge's office and closed the door for Xingge.

Xingge glanced coldly at the closed door, frowned, opened the drawer, and took out a silver cross badge from it.

Xingge's eyes flickered for a moment, and he shouted loudly: "Someone come."

A guard immediately opened Xingge's door, poked his head out and asked, "Lord City Lord, what do you want?"

“Send someone to inform Richard, the warden of Saint-Laurent Prison, that his Silver Cross has arrived.

Ask him if he can spare time to attend the awarding ceremony on the Red Moon Festival two days later. "

"Yes!" The two guards' heads retracted and disappeared.

Xingge stood up and walked to the window.

Her shadow swayed slowly, and a strange sound came from inside.

“Miss, the hospital has received the letter left by the dark elf.

As we expected, the dark elves wanted to exchange the antidote to the Soul Blight Potion for Dean Hank's [Elemental Balance Potion]. "

"What's the time they agreed on?"

"Two days later, Red Moon Festival."

"Sure enough." Xingge lowered his eyelids and asked, "Has the Anthony family's bait been released?"

"He has been released. He is planning to escape from the Travel City."

"Very good. Go on, tell me what else is going on."

"Yes! Yesterday, Richard's attending physician, Princeton, smuggled twelve parasitic demons from the Abyss through slave traders on the black market.

These 12 parasitic demons were eventually transported to the magic-free area of ​​St. Laurent Prison by Princeton using special means, and were received by Richard's subordinate Green Ham.

The agent reported that among the group of people engaged in illegal trading of breeding rights in the Karen abandoned mine area, there was a person nicknamed Black Mammy, who seemed to be the core figure of the entire Karen abandoned mine area.

After self-investigation, the family confirmed that the illegal group in the abandoned mining area of ​​Helen was not from our Sa-Ailan family.

The abandoned mining area in Kailun has been illegally occupied by them because no one has supervised it for a long time.”

“Among all the people from Porto Pietro in the City of Travel, a total of sixteen suspects who may be problematic were found.

One of them is Vice President Pete, whom you just met.

Vice President Pete's family moved to the City of Travel sixty years ago.

Although in theory, their family moved to the City of Travel long before the outbreak of the Porto Pietro Sulphur case.

But Vice President Pete himself returns to Peter Hill to pay homage to his parents almost every 4 to 5 years.

He himself is very likely to have had contact with officials from Porto Pietro. We still need to investigate the specific circumstances carefully."

"Well, what about the Dome Mage Group? Has there been any unusual movement in the past two days?"

"Um... yes or no?"

"Hmm? Yes means yes, no means no, what are you hesitating about?"

"Well, last night, Richard took Green Ham, the prison guard of Saint Laurent Prison, Macedonia, the driver of the Dome Logistics Department, and Zach, the meat chef of the Dome Logistics Department's meat processing plant, to the Heart of the Succubus.

They ordered six succubi in total, one each for Green Ham, Macedonia, and Zack, and three for Richard.

From the results, it seems that they had a lot of fun in the dream that the succubus wove for them.

Especially Warden Richard, he had a lot of fun. "

　Hamster wishes all readers a happy Father's Day.

　　That's it for today. Hamster, my schedule has been messed up these past few days, so I'll adjust it.
