Unspeakable bubbles

Someone leaned close to William and said something meaningful.

"..."

William was silent for a moment, then smiled.

"Maybe so, but..."

"Now that we're all allies, it's fine."

Section 583, Chapter 582: Reporting

"Ugh"

Early in the morning, Joan was sighing in her room.

Bubble came back last night, and Anne came personally to inform me that the Earl summoned me tomorrow morning!

Joan was very puzzled at the time. He was not an important figure in the Yug territory, so why was he summoned so quickly?

If it's about reporting on work, it probably won't be my turn so early.

Seeing that Joan was still unaware of anything, Anne kindly reminded her, "Carmen has tattled on you to the master a few times, Miss Joan, you should prepare in advance."

"..."

Thinking of this, Joan couldn't help but feel dejected.

She also knew that she wasn't doing a very good job as a sheriff.

He has little prestige among his subordinates, and his work is superficial; he has been doing this for so long, but he has not achieved anything remarkable.

"I've done my best... That's not an excuse."

Joan was somewhat lost in thought as she began to contemplate her future.

Sheriff...

I'm afraid I can't continue in this position.

So, shall we go back to the Federation?

Returning to his master's school, and then continuing his work in the Stadt federal government?

That seems pretty good.

"Upon closer reflection, although I've unknowingly been working for Bubble, I'm actually working for the councilors."

Qiong has never forgotten why she and Zhenming stayed by Bubble's side.

"dong dong dong"

"Hey, who is it so early?"

Joan walked to the door, puzzled. "Who is it?"

"That's me, my real name. Joan, have you chosen one yet?"

"Ah, please come in."

Joan opened the door and warmly welcomed her in.

"What brings you to visit me? Aren't you busy lately?"

"I'm busy, but no matter how busy I am, I still have to maintain a good relationship with you, my big shot," Zhenming said with a grin.

"A big shot?"

"Haha, you're still pretending!"

"Are you going to see the Earl later?"

"Uh, how did you know?"

"Never mind how I know, Joan, do you know? This time, the Earl summoned you first, rather than Crovet or Thousand Changes."

"Tsk tsk tsk, tell me quickly, what exactly did you do to please the Earl?"

"..."

"My real name... I guess this is the end of my career as a sheriff."

Joan relayed Anne's words to Zhenming, whose expression immediately changed.

"So, you weren't summoned first because you pleased the Earl, but rather, you're going to be dismissed?"

"more or less."

Upon hearing this, the enthusiasm on Zhenming's face vanished, and she suddenly became indifferent.

Joan didn't notice the change in Zhenming's attitude. She asked in a questioning tone, "I wonder if she will agree to let me go back to the country after I quit being a sheriff?"

"My senior and junior sisters from the Heavenly Maiden Sect, and my master, I miss them so much..."

"Joan, you, you don't still have connections with the Federation, do you?"

Her real name interrupted her, her face filled with terror as she asked.

"Uh, of course we're connected."

Joan was a little confused: "You too..."

"I didn't!"

Zhenming declared resolutely, "I have long since severed ties with the Federation; now I serve only the Earl!"

"what?"

Joan's eyes widened: "You, you wouldn't have betrayed the Federation, would you?"

"Haha, what a joke. I've always been a free man, never pledging allegiance, so how could there be any betrayal?"

"But it's you."

The real name's expression was grave: "They're still entangled with the Federation; they're simply insane!"

"How could you say that..."

"Hmph, let me ask you, has that lady been as attentive to your reports lately as she used to be?"

"..."

"If you don't answer, then you're not wrong."

“Qiong, since we’ve known each other for a while, let me explain it to you.”

"If you return to the Federation, perhaps they will spare your life out of consideration for your super-strong master."

"But going back to work in a government agency? Don't even think about it."

"Why, why!"

Joan said incredulously, "I completed my mission perfectly and went back to report. I won't even get a commendation, so why can't I go back to work in the office?"

"Sigh, you fool, don't you even consider the current strength of Yoganda, or the status of the Earl?"

With a look of longing, Zhenming exclaimed, "The leader of the Southern Grand Alliance, a peerless powerhouse who commands a legendary legion!"

"Can those congressmen afford to offend someone like that?"

"The Federation is also a major power."

Joan said unhappily, "And what kind of tone is that?"

"It is indeed a great power, but does the Federation have a legendary legion? Does it have any unparalleled experts?"

"Let me tell you another secret that everyone knows now: do you know who that black-haired guard by the Earl's side is?"

"……have no idea"

"Master Agudamu, the God of War of the Grasslands!"

"What does this mean, Joan? You should be able to figure it out, right?"

"..."

"The current Earl is not afraid of the Federation, or even King Sien!"

“Joan, your current identity is equivalent to that of a spy, but only a senator would be crazy to plant a spy next to King Thane.”

"The same applies to Your Excellency the Earl."

Seeing that Qiong's face had suddenly lost all color, Zhenming patted her on the shoulder: "Now you understand, right? That's why that lady suddenly ignored you."

"I doubt that she, no one, could have imagined that the Earl's power could expand to this extent in such a short period of time."

"Take my advice, destroy that communicator."

"Destroy the communicator, forget your original mission."

"If you do this, those congressmen might actually feel relieved."

"..."

Seeing that Qiong was still hesitating, a cold glint flashed in Zhenming's eyes.

She was determined to stick with Bubble, and didn't want to keep this ticking time bomb by her side.

"Qiong, vipers are not vegetarians."

"If you keep hesitating, it will be too late to regret it once they find out about you."

"I... I'll think about it some more. Don't rush me, I need to calm down."

Joan was in a state of confusion; she had absolutely no idea what to do.

"Sigh, I didn't want to do this."
