Baron Cullen

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Seventh Squad's office plummeted to freezing point.

Jack, Kelly, and the others all looked very grim.

Everyone agreed that if it weren't for Karen, they would have all been wiped out in Blackwood Village.

But the captain was not only ungrateful, he also wanted to take all the credit for himself.

This made them very indignant.

"Captain, you..." Jack wanted to say something more.

However, Tyron abruptly interrupted, "Enough, Jack! As the captain, I order you to report on this mission exactly as I just said!"

Anyone who objects is violating discipline! Now, except for Karen, all of you go out first! Wait for further instructions after dawn!

He directly used his position as captain to forcefully suppress all dissenting voices.

Jack's eyes widened in anger, and he was about to say something when Allen grabbed his shoulder.

Allen shook his head, signaling with his eyes that he should stop arguing.

Among the Order Keepers, openly disobeying the captain's orders is a very serious matter, especially in sensitive situations like mission reporting.

Kelly didn't say anything, just got up, opened the office door, and walked out.

Her attitude has said it all.

Maria glanced at Tyron, whose face was ashen, then at Karen, who remained silent, and whispered, "I...I'll go with Kelly to the infirmary first."

After saying that, she hurriedly followed Lina away.

Allen helped Jack to his feet, patted him on the back, and whispered, "Take care of the wound first, we'll talk about the rest later."

He then glanced at Karen with a complicated look in his eyes, before leading Jack out of the office.

Allen closed the door with a soft click.

Only Tyron and Karen remained in the office.

Tyron breathed a sigh of relief, but faced with Karen left alone, he felt a strange pressure.

The young man was too calm, so calm that it made him uneasy.

He tried to make his expression look stern: "Karen, now it's just the two of us. Did you understand what I just said?"

I know you're capable, but young people need to know when to advance and when to retreat.

You gave me the credit this time, and I'll remember that favor. I'll definitely think of you first when there are benefits in the team in the future.

It's good for everyone if we help each other out.

He tried to appease Karen by offering her benefits.

Karen looked up at Tyron, her face still expressionless, and said calmly, "Captain, as I just said, I don't care about credit."

I only hope that the information about the Secret Society can be reported completely truthfully.

This is far more important than personal gain or loss.

Seeing that Karen was still unmoved by his words, Tyron felt both annoyed and somewhat helpless.

He waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, I know! I'll definitely report the important information truthfully!"

"You can go out now! I need to organize my thoughts!"

Karen didn't say anything more, got up, opened the door and went out, then gently closed the door behind her.

The door hinges made a soft sound, and the door slowly closed.

But just as he was about to head to the medical room to check on his teammates, he vaguely heard some noise coming from inside the office…

Tyron remained seated in his place, letting out a long sigh of relief.

After a few seconds of silence, he spoke in a low voice, clearly thinking no one was outside, and was venting to himself.

"Hmph! A bunch of ungrateful bastards! Especially that Karen Waller! Just because he has some skills and connections, he doesn't respect me, the captain!"

If it weren't for his meddling and insisting on staying until night, would I have encountered that monster? Would I have almost lost my life?

And you made me lose face in front of the team!

His voice was full of resentment.

He paused, then lowered his voice, which carried a sinister undertone:

"However... this time the credit is so great, it must definitely be mine! When reporting, well, just say that it was because of my caution that I decided to stay until night to continue the investigation, and sure enough, I discovered something unusual."

That vampire… I told them I saw through her disguise, fought bravely against her, and finally killed her with the help of my teammates! That’s right, that’s exactly it!

As for Karen Waller… well, let’s just say he was young and reckless. He was almost seduced by the vampire’s beauty during the battle, revealing a weakness that nearly caused the mission to fail… Yes! That’s the gist of it!

Anyway, there were only a few of us there at the time, and as the team leader, whatever I said went!

When the deputy leader hears my report, he'll definitely think this kid is useless, and might even criticize him! Hehe…”

Karen, who was still outside the door, narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard Tyrone's almost shameless plan inside.

He didn't really care about personal credit; he just wanted to get the key intelligence reported.

But he didn't expect that Tyron not only wanted to take credit, but also planned to distort the truth and slander him, and even put the blame for the mission's near failure on him!

This is blatant slander.

If Tyron were to report this, his reputation would certainly be damaged, and it might even affect his image in the eyes of Fiona, Bright Martha, and others.

Most importantly, if he tries to report any clues about the Secret Society to higher authorities, it is very likely that his report will be dismissed as alarmist and his claims will be greatly diminished.

Therefore, he could no longer remain silent.

Thinking of this, a cold, emotionless smile slowly crept onto Karen's previously calm face.

In the office, Tyron was still secretly pleased with his brilliant plan, figuring out how to write a report that would both highlight himself and thoroughly humiliate Karen.

He had even begun to fantasize about the look of utter disappointment on Deputy Chief Bright's face when he heard his report, and about the scene of him being rewarded.

He might even receive a substantial financial reward for this achievement.

This way, he can go to the "Night Rose" tavern a few more times to enjoy himself.

The dancers there are incredibly alluring; he's been craving them for a long time.

But just then...

Click.

The door, which had been closed, was pushed open from the outside.

Tyron was startled!

He looked up abruptly and was shocked to find that Karen had returned and was standing at the door looking at him with a half-smile.

"Ka...Karen? You...Why are you back again?" Tyron's heart skipped a beat, and he felt inexplicably guilty, but he asked, trying to remain calm.

Karen did not come in.

He simply leaned against the doorframe, looking calmly at Tyrion, and said in a gentle tone, "Captain, I just remembered there's something I forgot to confirm with you..."

"Wh...what is it?" Tyrone felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze.

"It's about mission reporting..." Karen said with a polite and standard smile, but it sent a chill down Tyrone's spine. "It suddenly occurred to me that, according to the rules of the Order Keeper branch, the captain is indeed the main person responsible for reporting tasks..."

However, if team members feel it's necessary to add some details during the reporting process, it seems they can directly explain the situation to the deputy leader or even the leader…

Especially when it comes to crucial details of a mission or a major personal injustice, I remember there's a clause like that in the regulations... right?

Upon hearing this, Tyron's expression changed instantly.
