Don't confiscate my citizenship

Just as he was about to ask a tentative question, Lanci seemed to come back to his senses from his deep thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Bakas, I've been so busy with work lately that I tend to forget important things."

Lanqi's gaze became clear and firm again. He slowly turned to Warden Bakas. The expression on his face returned to calm, even with a barely perceptible apologetic smile, and he sighed helplessly.

It's like thinking of a question that has to be asked.

"When I heard what you said just now, I suddenly remembered something. A student told me before that the bribery situation in the basement of Helrom Prison is quite serious. For example, a warden named Corendan even said that even if Rocky McCarthy came, he had to bring him two packs of cigarettes. I want to ask if this is true?"

Lanqi asked with a worried look, very concerned about the discipline and atmosphere in the prison.

"Is there such a thing?"

Bakas raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked in disbelief.

But he immediately understood why the principal was in deep thought.

These words cleared up Bacchus's doubts and brought the conversation back on track, making Bacchus glad that it was just an easy problem to solve.

It would be fine if the internal chat was just said secretly, but if it really reached Rocky McCarthy's ears, the nature of the matter would change completely!

Even if he wanted to get rid of that damn bastard, he must not offend Rocky McCarthy and ruin their friendship and cooperation!

"I will immediately investigate this matter. Can you please let me use the communication terminal in the meeting room?"

Although Bakas did not anticipate this turn of events, he quickly adjusted his expression.

Sincerity is the most important thing at this time. If handled well, it can even further win Rocky McCarthy's favor and allow them to talk more happily about today's cooperation plan and various current political intelligence and forecasts of the Protoss Empire.

"of course can."

Lanci nodded, stood up, and led Warden Bacchus to the side of the meeting room in a calm and considerate manner.

There sits a unique mechanical device, a terminal that combines Helrom's latest communications magic with traditional craftsmanship.

Warden Bacchus stood in front of the device and quickly put the encrypted communication magic card from the inside pocket of his clothes into it. His expression became very serious, his brows were furrowed, and a hint of barely perceptible anger flashed in his eyes.

Soon the communication terminal was successfully connected to the lobby of the base level of Helrom Prison.

"Help me find the Corendan prison warden on the negative first floor."

After the base layer connected the communication, Bakas spoke into the microphone.

Lanci stood aside, looking at Warden Bakas.

His face remained calm, but his eyes occasionally flashed with deep thought.

"Okay, please wait a moment!"

The prison guard on the base floor quickly transferred the call to the basement level. After more than ten seconds, the voice of the Corendan warden, speaking slowly and with a hint of authority, came through the microphone:

"Who is it?"

“It’s me.”

Warden Bakas' voice sounded very cold and hard in the communication, and there was even a hint of gritting his teeth.

"Warden Baccus? What do you want from me?"

These two simple words caused the Corendan prison warden on the other end of the line to speak much faster, and there was also the creaking sound of an office chair. It seemed that the Corendan prison warden adjusted his sitting posture in an instant, and began to greet the communication from Warden Bakas in an upright posture.

"I heard that you said that Mr. Rocky McCarthy had to bring you two packs of cigarettes when he came?"

Warden Bakas questioned with murderous intent in his voice.

Chapter 398 Lanqi understands the ways of the world

The basement level of Helrom Prison.

Inside the Corendam Warden's office.

The warden, Corendan, who had always been aloof and methodical in his work, had a very strange expression after picking up the microphone.

His brows were furrowed, as if he was thinking about a problem that he couldn't figure out.

This expression seemed particularly abrupt given his usually dignified and calm appearance.

"...?"

He was caught red-handed after he had just finished speaking, and he did not dare to refute immediately.

I don't understand how Warden Bakas heard it?

Could it be that the warden was conducting a sting operation today, pretending to leave but actually using this as a pretext to discipline them?

But then, Corendan calmed down and thought about it, and felt that the warden did go to the Protos Royal Academy of Magic today, and this call also came from the Protos Royal Academy of Magic.

So if we analyze it this way.

For Warden Bacchus, the most important goal is to report to Mr. Rocky McCarthy, and the punishment of him as the warden is secondary.

Therefore, no matter whether Warden Bacchus has evidence or not, he must deny it at this time.

There was no way he could embarrass Warden Baccarat around Rocky McCarthy by admitting it over the microphone.

"No, I definitely didn't say anything like that!"

Corendan said firmly into the microphone.

As soon as the words fell, it seemed to be the standard answer that Warden Bacchus expected, which made Warden Bacchus feel slightly relieved.

"I warn you, no matter what you think or say on your underground floor, do not show any disrespect to Mr. Rocky McCarthy. Otherwise, if I catch you, you know what will happen to you."

Warden Bakas's still stern voice came from the microphone, and he almost paused for the last word.

These words were not only spoken to Corendan, but also to Rocky McCarthy who was beside him.

What the truth is doesn't really matter.

The important thing is that Warden Bakas cannot fail to deliver his mission at this moment.

Otherwise, all the embarrassment and pressure that Warden Bakas endured would be transformed into a hundred times more anger, and he would pay the price!

"call--"

However, just when the warden of Columbidae breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the matter had been largely dealt with.

The other side of the desk.

"He just said that our principal must bring him two packs of cigarettes when he comes here. We all heard it."

The poet of great love with black hair and green eyes spoke in the office with a clear and bright voice.

Her voice sounded youthful and had a frank charm, pointing out the truth without hesitation.

Suddenly.

It was not only the Corendan warden whose jaw froze as he looked towards the Great Love Poet.

Even the other end of the microphone fell into deathly silence.

Corendan stared with his eyes wide open, staring at the black-haired, green-eyed girl who had never expressed anything just now. He had a thousand things to say but couldn't utter a single word.

He didn't know whether this guy was the one with the darkest heart, or whether she was really so honest and honest that she couldn't accept any lies.

Don’t you know you should read people’s expressions and speak according to the situation? ! ! !

Corendan wanted to yell and curse at the top of his lungs!

But at the moment.

He must have no mind to vent his inner anger and collapse. Even through the communication terminal, Warden Corendan could feel the burning anger and embarrassment of Warden Bakas who was standing in front of the terminal on the other side, as if he wanted to burn him to ashes along the magic line.

"No, no! Lord Bakas, please listen to my explanation. There is a new person who doesn't know any better around you. Please don't listen to her nonsense..."

The Corendam warden's voice suddenly became panicked.

"Is she an intern at the Protoss Royal School of Magic?"

Bakas' voice was unexpectedly calm, which meant that he had reached a critical point.

"she……"

Before Corendan could say anything stubborn, he felt that the girl with black hair and green eyes was about to speak for him again.

Under the cold silence of Warden Bacchus, who seemed to know everything, Corendan's voice instantly became smaller and finally turned into silence. He did not dare to further anger Warden Bacchus.

"Yes."

So Corendan had no choice but to admit it with gritted teeth.

At this point, any quibbling is meaningless.

Whether it was true or false, Rocky McCarthy, who was standing like an overseer next to Warden Bacchus at the Royal Academy of Protoss, had heard it.

Warden Bacchus's attitude towards things will directly determine Principal Rocky McCarthy's impression of the warden.

"Corendan... you still dare to quibble and add to the crime, right?"

The unquestionable declaration in Bakas's voice made Corendan feel a chill.

The Corendan warden's throat moved excitedly, trying to quibble.

But he saw the girl with black hair and green eyes, looking at him with great pity.

It's like thinking he is a dishonest person and should be punished.

I am also considering whether I should give him some redemption.

Until this moment, she is still as innocent and beautiful as an angel, radiating radiance.

Corendan looked at her and felt like he was about to spit out blood. For some reason, the anger that was pent up in his heart had been constantly aroused since just now, as if it was poured with oil. But the most painful thing was that he had to remain calm and try hard to please Lord Bakas and win Rocky McCarthy's forgiveness.

"Don't be like this, Bakas. I just want to confirm whether my students are being troubled. You should handle the internal affairs of your prison by yourselves. It will not affect our friendship."

Soon, a vague and calm male voice came from the microphone.

It seemed that Rocky McCarthy, who was standing next to Warden Bacchus, was comforting Bacchus who was in a very bad condition.

After a brief silence.

"Corendan, if you find Mr. Chatterbox Rocky McCarthy, you'll be sent to the negative sixth floor. You should know that I have a way to send you down."

Bakas finally gave a warning and hung up the communication heavily.
