Stephanie felt that the man sitting next to her was always shrouded in an unpredictable fog. Even though she was in charge of the internal affairs department of the Immortal City and was responsible for coordinating all logistical work of all departments in the organization, she still did not know the meaning of the Immortal City.
There are currently several ongoing black secret missions in the city. The missions of the Praetorian Guard are outside the purview of the internal affairs department, and all tasks performed have black or crimson secret levels. The Praetorian Guard system is an independent system, Constantine
They do not participate in the operation of the administrative department, and the interior department also has no right to know what the Guards are doing. However, the Guards have decision-making power in certain matters and can interfere with key decisions of the interior department, even on certain occasions.
To a certain extent, they can make decisions on behalf of the monarch.
This means that when necessary, the Praetorian Guard system is the superior of the internal affairs department, similar to the lord's envoy in feudal society.
Now there is one more person with higher authority than this, and this is what makes Stephanie most unhappy.
Even if Victor von Doom doesn't join the Immortal City's operations while Latvinia's problems are not completely resolved, Stephanie is ready to play a game of office politics with the man in the iron mask.
The reason why she went to the office to question Salomon was just a little trick she played. She had long known that Salomon would not waver in his decision. Showing her grievances would make Salomon think that she owed him
She has only one favor, and perhaps she will be compromised in some aspects in the future.
Salomon smiled and took the data terminal from his desk.
Stephanie always makes a mistake. She always forgets that her boss is a spell caster. Even without using second vision to read the surface of her mind, she can salvage small fragments of the future from the sea of souls through her behavioral patterns.
, to deduce her intentions. This is not her fault. The power tricks she learned in her past life were faced by ordinary people, even if she wore the jewelry and brooch given by Salomon to protect the soul and vague prophecies.
, that kind of protection level will not work every time when faced with a powerful spellcaster like Salomon.
But he's also willing to accommodate Stephanie Malick's little whims, which is quite fun for him.
"Okay, let's take a look at the progress of Wanda Maximoff's current mission...yes, this is it." He opened a document with a genetic identification lock, and then handed the data terminal to Stephanie.
"In fact, you are qualified to unlock this document, but you just haven't looked at it."
Stephanie made very cute onomatopoeias from her mouth, like a deflated balloon. She flipped through the document lazily, "I only saw Wanda Maximoff sending Robbie Reyes to
After entering the hospital, I stopped paying attention. Shouldn't she have completed the task? Why did she delay it until this time? "
"Because I want to take care of you, Gabe!" Wanda faced the little boy in a wheelchair across the dining table with a smile on her face. "As you can see, Robbie was injured and hospitalized, so someone must take care of you."
"I know." Gabe Reyes had a sad face. For his age, Gabe Reyes appears to be quite well-behaved and sensible. This may be his only gain after being disabled. The person in front of him calls himself Wanda Mark.
Simov's red-haired woman claimed that she was a friend of her brother. After Robbie's accident, she took him to visit him in the intensive care unit. Moreover, this woman also paid for the high medical bills in the intensive care unit, and all the bills were settled.
Qing——Gabe almost fainted when he saw that bill. As the person who manages the family accounts, he knew very well that those figures were astronomical to the family. Robbie could not earn this money even if he repaired the car for a hundred years, and
He is a cripple who can't do anything.
Gabe Reyes was certain that he had never met his brother's friend, but he did not dare to say anything or let the red-haired woman know what he was thinking, because he had no idea what this woman was like.
Plan. As a child from the slums, he never believed in pie in the sky. Seeing that Gabe Reyes had no objection, Wanda Maximoff just settled on the sofa in the living room, not only every day
He had to take Gabe across Los Angeles to visit Robbie Reyes in the hospital, and he was also very considerate in taking care of Gabe's three meals a day and all his daily life.
Slowly, Gabe Reyes also slowly relaxed his vigilance. He could feel that the red-haired woman was really taking care of him, and not for some unknown purpose. And... at least Wanda's cooking skills
Hundreds of times better than his brother, Gabe really doesn't want to eat microwaved pizza for breakfast. Now he can eat something good every day. Although there are a lot of vegetables, he still likes these foods.
"What happened?" He found that Wanda's face became quite ugly after receiving a phone call, which made Gabe nervous. "Could it be Robbie..."
"No, no, no, everything is fine." Wanda thought about how to explain this. "The doctors have placed Robbie in the general ward." She said, "He should be discharged from the hospital soon."
"Then can I go see him today?"
"Probably not, there are still some procedures to go through." Wanda forced a smile, "I'll go to the hospital first, and I'll definitely be back before dinner. If you're hungry, there's some in the refrigerator..."
"Steak salad." Gabe said, "I know, I just think steak salad is weird."
"This is how people in New York eat." Wanda picked up her coat and took the keys, "To be honest, I think it's weird too."
"Ms. Maximoff, I'm really, really sorry." After arriving at Los Angeles General Hospital and identifying herself, Wanda stayed in the living room for ten minutes, and then a white woman in a dark blue women's suit fucked her.
English with no discernible accent came to her. "I believe you have a preliminary understanding of the situation. I regret the fire in the intensive care unit. We will do our best to assist the police in searching for the whereabouts of Robbie Reyes, and we will also
Refund medical expenses and purchase a lifetime insurance policy for Robbie Reyes’ minor dependents while giving compensation.”
"I'm not... Okay, thank you." Wanda nodded. She drove the rented car into the hospital and already noticed the fire truck parked nearby. She also knew what was going on. In order to prevent the accident from happening...
Bu Reyes was so worried that before she left the house, she cast a spell to bend the TV antenna so Gabe wouldn't see the news.
Seeing that her attitude was not as aggressive as expected, the white woman relaxed a little.
A fire in the intensive care unit is a huge scandal for a hospital, not to mention the hospital's responsibility for not notifying the patient's family in a timely manner. If the patient's family reported this matter to the media, it would be very harmful to the hospital operator.
It is a big trouble. Not only does it have to deal with various inspections by local government departments, but the hospital itself also has to issue a statement to express its regrets. It is unfortunate that the problem of the patient's family can be solved by just refunding the medical expenses and giving away life insurance.
Fortunately, problems that can be solved with money are not problems. As one of the persons in charge, Dr. Christina Galli feels that she has time to deal with the investigation by the government department.
"I want to see the surveillance video from that night." Wanda said.
"Of course, this is your right. I will let my secretary take you to the security room to view the surveillance video. I'm sorry that I can't go with you. I hope you know how sad I am that such an unfortunate thing would happen to anyone.
It's very difficult for any family."
No matter what Dr. Christina Galli said, Wanda just nodded. She really couldn't cope with this kind of polite politeness, and she had already seen Dr. Christina Galli's true thoughts through her eyes. What's more,
, Wanda had long speculated that the real cause of the fire in the intensive care unit was that Robbie Reyes had woken up.
"This is my secretary, Laura. Laura, please take Ms. Maximov to review the surveillance video. I believe she must want to know what happened at that time."
