A green light emanated from the little girl's hand, and Cecil, who had already been given a death sentence by the doctor, suddenly convulsed.

"Mary, call his name more often." The little girl smiled and stepped aside.

"Cecil, Cecil, Cecil!"

“My dearest Cecil…”

Slowly opening her eyes, the man's first words were, "Mary, are you alright?"

"fool!"

Mary pounded hard on Cecil's chest, unable to utter a single word.

"Don't worry, Cecil, your clumsy method worked," the little girl said with a smile.

"Duke Yog, thank you for saving Mary!"

Cecil struggled to his feet: "You saved Mary, which is to say you saved me, Cecil."

"This kindness..."

"Oh, don't be so polite, you've already paid me."

Cecil was taken aback upon hearing this.

The little girl explained with a smile, "Your letter touched Bubble for a long time, and that feeling is the best reward."

"Bubble!"

Mary suddenly hugged her tightly: "Thank you, really, really, thank you!"

"Hehe~"

Chapter 706, Section 707, is now online.

Sitting listlessly in his office chair, Beta stared blankly out the window at the view.

Last week, he first went to the intelligence agency headquarters to report for duty, and after taking office quickly, he was immediately assigned to Tianyin City as the chief person in charge.

They moved to Tianyin City and took up residence at the Tianyin City branch of the Intelligence Bureau.

I became acquainted with a few of the managers, and then...

Then Beta began his daily routine of spacing out.

To be honest, although he was forcibly transferred to a field he wasn't good at, Beta still wanted to achieve something.

However, Beta was just a lone commander parachuted in, and without the cooperation of his subordinates, he had nowhere to use his strength.

Of course, the 'non-cooperation' mentioned here does not mean that the subordinates disobeyed orders and stubbornly opposed Beta.

They obeyed Beta's orders completely and were extremely efficient at handling odd jobs, but when it came to serious matters...

"Speaking of which, that guy didn't even do a proper handover, so why did he rush back to headquarters?"

Beta sighed helplessly and made a phone call using his office line.

"I am Beta"

"Good morning, sir!"

"I don't want to eat lunch at work today, could you please order me a pizza?"

"Roger that!"

In just three minutes, the piping hot pizza was served on Beta's table.

"So, why are these orders executed so efficiently...?"

After eating most of the pizza that was delivered, Beta stared out the window in a daze.

He was the only person in the huge office; he had no fixed job and no one cared about him.

'Maybe I should bring my home computer over to play with tomorrow?'

'No! That's incredibly irresponsible.'

'...'

'Although I'm in charge overall, it doesn't really matter whether I'm there or not.'

'The intelligence agency just squeezed out a spot for me; it's best if I do nothing. Trying to do anything would only cause trouble.'

Thinking about this, Beta looked utterly dejected.

After a long while, the man suddenly slammed his hand on the table.

"Hmph, what's there to be upset about? It's just about enjoying life, isn't it?"

He immediately dialed the phone using the office hotline: "Hello, this is Beta."

"Roger that, sir!"

"Move my gaming pod to the office right now. Do you have my home address?"

"Sir, please authorize us to enter shortly."

"Hurry up, I'm so bored these days, I'm waiting to play games!" Beta said in a defiant manner.

"learn!"

The voice on the phone remained unwavering: "Delivery within twenty minutes, guaranteed!"

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

The first thing Beta did after logging back in was to open the mission interface. Looking at the lackluster escort mission, Beta's expression changed slightly.

"The text that was originally golden has now turned dark?"

"Could it be that because I haven't been online for a long time, it automatically failed?"

They rushed back to where they had gathered, and sure enough, Bubble Princess wasn't there.

After wandering around the town a few more times, I didn't see Bubble Princess, but I did run into quite a few people who wanted to team up with me for a fee.

"..."

After rejecting all invitations to team up, Beta logged off dejectedly.

Every morning thereafter, Beta would arrive at the meeting place on time to wait, but Bubble Princess never appeared.

For three days in a row, Beta had to accept the fact that his mission had failed.

"Ugh"

Slumped listlessly on his desk, Beta's condition had worsened even further.

Although it was just a failed hidden mission in a game, Beta still couldn't get over it.

"We clearly agreed that I would take her home."

As he grew increasingly upset, the office assistant robot flew in front of him.

"Master, there's a phone call."

Answer the call.

"Boss, which department are you in now?"

Upon hearing the familiar voice of his old subordinate, Beta immediately sat up straight.

"Which department is it inconvenient to say? What about you?"

"Hey, don't even mention it. The Ministry of Health, these days I'm stuck in the office all day helping people compile documents."

"Where are the other brothers?"

"Similar to me, we both switched to administrative positions."

"civilian......"

Beta fell silent. A group of top-notch combat personnel, even if they didn't become dragoons, could easily become instructors or something in the army.

"I'll contact His Excellency the Grand Consul later and see if I can help everyone find a different position."

"No! Boss, I didn't come here to complain to you."

"and......"

The voice paused for a moment: "The handover of the dragon riders is complete. I reckon you definitely can't contact the Grand Consul anymore."

"..."

Beta fell silent for a moment. In the past, Cotton had spoken kindly to him only because he was mindful of Cotton's unparalleled prestige among the dragon riders.

Now, well, hehe.

"Boss, do you know any ways to make money?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing his old subordinate's question, Beta immediately tensed up: "What's wrong? You're in trouble? Don't do anything illegal! I have money, I'll lend you as much as you need!"

"Haha, thanks, boss, I'm not in any trouble."

"Who's in trouble?" Beta pressed.

"Nobody is in trouble, it's just that many of our brothers are currently very idle at work and want to find a part-time job to earn more money."

"Boss, everyone's salary has dropped a lot since we were switched to clerical positions..."

"A way to make money? Let me think."

Beta used to have a lot of ways to make money, but once he left, all those ways became useless.

Although he holds a high position in the intelligence agency, he is actually just an idle person with no real power.

Without power, there are naturally no ways to make money.

There's nothing I can do to help.

Beta felt a pang of sadness. He was about to speak when a thought suddenly struck him.

"Hey bro, how about we play some games together?"
