"You have to listen to your aunt at home. Your sister's new job requires her to travel frequently, so she might not be able to come back often."

"Business trips? My sister used to travel a lot for work, so she's used to it."

The younger brother, very understandingly, promised, "I will listen to Auntie, but..."

He asked curiously, "Sister, didn't you say the aunt who takes care of me would come this morning? Why haven't I seen her yet?"

"It's very late."

Victoria said, clearly annoyed, "You wait at home, I'll go out and ask."

Seriously, the organization is so inefficient!

I'm leaving tomorrow, why hasn't the nanny they promised come yet?

"dong dong dong"

"Oh, you're only arriving now!"

Victoria opened the door, about to complain, but found that the person standing there was not the nanny, but a middle-aged man with a cold look in his eyes.

She shuddered and instinctively reached to close the door.

She had seen people with that kind of look before; they were all ruthless thugs who didn't care about human life!

"Miss Victoria, I haven't even finished speaking, why are you closing the door?"

The man braced his toes against the door and said with a smile, "Could you spare a few minutes?"

"no!"

Victoria looked at him warily: "I'm warning you, I'm from a special department, not someone to be trifled with!"

"Ah, I regret to inform you that you have been dismissed from the Fourth Agency."

The man took out a piece of paper stamped with the seal of the Fourth Agency and handed it to her: "Of course, the nanny they promised to find for you won't be coming either."

"..."

Section 622, Chapter 621 Manuscript

Sorry to bother you.

The man calmly walked into the house and smiled slightly at the boy who was peeking in.

scare!

Perhaps it was the man's smile that was too sinister, because Victoria's brother shrank back immediately.

"The child is quite cute," he said with a smile.

Victoria quickly locked the door and angrily asked, "Who are you? What brings you here?"

"I am a Viper," the man said simply.

"?"

Seeing the puzzled look on Victoria's face, he couldn't help but laugh.

Haha, don't you know?

"Really, it turns out our reputation doesn't work outside the South."

Victoria, who was already somewhat familiar with vipers, immediately understood what he meant when he said that.

"Are you one of the Marquis of Yog's men?"

"exactly"

"My lord, what are your orders?"

Victoria immediately lowered her stance; she yielded as soon as she learned the man's identity.

Just kidding, the Fourth Agency has already given up on itself, so sticking up to it now is just asking for trouble.

"Well, that's a long story. But don't worry, I came to see you for something really good!"

"Ha~"

Victoria nodded ambiguously: "I'll get you a glass of water."

.......................................................................

"You're too kind. I don't usually drink water from strangers."

"It's terribly cold. I'll add some honey to your warm water."

"Let's talk slowly, here you go!"

After taking the cup, the man habitually held it to his nose and smelled it, then quickly revealed a half-smile.

"Miss Victoria, aren't you being a little too wary?"

"what?"

Victoria looked completely innocent: "What are you talking about? I didn't poison you."

"Don't believe me? Then I'll drink first."

The man shook his head, took a handkerchief from his pocket, and carefully wiped the rim of the cup several times.

"You're a semi-expert, but I'm a professional."

Ignoring Victoria's nervous expression, the man took a sip of honey water: "Thank you for the treat."

"..."

"I've always been an outsider, so I don't know much."

Victoria said with a pained expression, "Don't hurt my brother. I'll answer all your questions."

"Okay, then I'll ask."

The man cleared his throat: "You're the author of the 'Victoria Detective' series, aren't you?"

"Yes, they are all stories adapted from my true experiences... Ah, I didn't include any of the things that can't be mentioned!"

"I am not here on behalf of the Fourth Agency to demand an explanation, so please do not be nervous."

After offering a word of comfort, the man added, "Do you know? Your adventure stories are very popular in the kingdom."

“I know a little bit, after all, the royalties have always been quite high, hehe.” Victoria chuckled twice.

"You would never guess, Your Excellency, that she is actually a huge fan of yours!"

"..."

"what?"

"I mean, the leader of the Southern Alliance, Marquis Yog, really liked your story."

The man smiled broadly: "Didn't you stop writing earlier? The Marquis was very worried about your condition!"

"Uh, I, I'm fine."

"Yes, it's fine."

Victoria didn't know how to describe her feelings, but she managed a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Excellency Marquis."

"Haha, you were startled, weren't you?"

The man said with a smile, "You don't know, your stopping your writing has caused the Marquis a lot of trouble."

"My favorite serialized story has suddenly disappeared..."

Can you imagine how disappointed the Marquis was at that moment?

"terribly sorry!"

Without thinking twice, Victoria immediately gave a deep 180-degree bow.

"It's my fault. I'll resume updating tomorrow, no, tonight!"

"Haha, I told you not to be nervous, I'm not here to interrogate you."

"Well, I did some research on your situation before I came."

The man's face showed indignation: "Isn't the Fourth Agency too domineering? Regardless of whether you like it or not, they just forced you to become a full-fledged employee!"

"The salary didn't increase much, but I have absolutely no free time."

"you do not say!"

Victoria nodded in agreement: "Thanks to Your Excellency the Marquis, I have regained my freedom."

"Wait a moment, I'm going back to my room to get something."

Victoria unlocked the door, went inside to comfort the boy for a few moments, and then quickly came out carrying a small suitcase.

"Give!"

"This is?"

"This is my return gift to the Marquis."

Victoria explained, "All the manuscripts I thought would get me into trouble have never been sent out; they're all kept here."

"Since the Marquis likes my story, she will definitely like these too."

The man opened the box and looked inside; sure enough, it was full of handwritten manuscripts.

I did accept it.
