At this moment, Victor almost shouted in his native dialect.
Finding that his expression was touched, Mr. President explained in more detail.
"People will be more or less selfish. Now that I have been successfully re-elected, I will use stronger means to implement my plan in the next four years. During this period, many people will question me.
Opposing me, plotting against me...that's why I need real friends, not parties, not institutions, but like-minded friends who are only loyal to me."
Victor finally understood what he meant.
It seems that President George is enriching his own wings behind the backs of the Liberal Party and the federal government.
Maybe he wants to be in control rather than be the spokesperson for some group of people.
Victor himself was unwilling to get involved, but now he had no choice but to let William Marshall push him to the forefront, causing him to fall into the quagmire of Serbian politics.
In order to save Zoe, Victor pretended to agree to the President.
"I am deeply honored by your invitation. Based on my current tendency, most of it is towards you, Mr. President."
These words were enough. George nodded with satisfaction, then clapped his hands. The two guards on the terrace who had been clicked off by Victor actually woke up just like that.
Victor frowned, looking shocked.
"Take this gentleman down and hand the girl over to him."
President George gave the order to the guards, and they led Victor sleepily to the office door.
"Oh, by the way!" George finally reminded Victor before the guard opened the door, "You have to be careful about your minister now. He always takes power too seriously. Well... maybe he's just like me!"
…
After Zoe was handed over to the White Crown, she was held in custody in the Ebony Tower.
At first she thought it was arranged by Victor, but later she realized it wasn't and planned to escape.
However, before she could take action, the guard guarding her took action and took her out of the cell. In the atrium, she met Victor Damon who came to pick her up.
"It's you!"
Finally seeing an acquaintance, Zoe felt relieved.
Victor stood at the edge of the pool waiting for her with his hands behind his back.
After taking the key from the guard, Victor opened the shackles on Zoe's wrists and feet, and then they walked out of the White Crown gate together and got into a carriage on the roadside.
"Where are we going?" Zoe asked, leaning against the car window.
"Take you to change clothes, and then come back to Renekton." Victor took off his black leather gloves and reached into his pocket to find something.
"Go to Renekton?!" Zoe exclaimed, "I...I don't want to..."
Before she could finish speaking, Victor took out a pen from his pocket and handed it to Zoe.
"This is a gift for you. From now on, you will use it to work and stay in the Renekton Anti-Suppression Department."
"Ah?" Zoe's face was full of confusion.
Victor then explained: "Don't throw it away, this is a sealed object, and inside it is the third secret of the night nature phase. You will need it for your future promotion."
Zoe didn't understand sealed objects or anything like that. She heard that Victor was going to take her to Renekton, and all she could think about was her group of kid friends.
Victor saw her confused expression, and after thinking about it for a moment, he guessed what she was thinking.
But it's a pity that Victor is not here to open a nursery.
He said: "Those of your friends, I will ask Tony to send them to the best orphanage in Sanfran to ensure their food, clothing and education."
"But...I'm afraid of them..." Zoe still wanted to argue, but was frightened by Victor's stern eyes.
Seeing that she stopped speaking, Victor sighed and said to her: "You were supposed to go to prison to serve three months, but because you are a seer and need to be detained by the Prosecution Bureau, I used some means to let you
Register to become an elite agent of the Defense and Suppression Department."
Elite agent?
Zoe was surprised several times in a row, feeling that the door to the world was opening to her.
"This was your father's job during his lifetime. You are currently a junior elite agent and will receive an income of 10 faraka per week."
"10 farka?" Zoe exclaimed, this kind of fixed income is too much for her.
"As for those children, I have made the best arrangements for them. You have only two choices now, either follow me back to Renekton, or stay in Sanfran and go to jail... Don't think about escaping while in jail.
The Prosecution Bureau will always adopt an 'elimination' style of pursuit of seers who escape from prison, and will not give you a chance to go to court again." Victor reminded Zoe solemnly.
The latter was silent for a long time, finally sighed and agreed to Victor's request.
…
In fact, for Zoe, this is a good result beyond expectations.
Without Victor, the sentence she was sentenced by the court would never have been just three months.
No matter how unreasonable it is, Zoe is not a spoiled young lady from a rich family. She knows how to judge the situation and compromise with fate.
They sailed home and arrived at Violet Harbor in Renekton a few days later.
Zoe had no place to live, so Victor decided to go to Miss Charlotte to see if he could arrange a place for her.
Speaking of which, Victor has not seen Miss Charlotte since the last night of clouds and rain.
He has been avoiding each other for fear of being caught.
Now that so much time has passed, Victor is taking a chance and hoping that Charti has passed through that period of intense love.
So, when he cautiously came to the counter on the third floor, he saw an unfamiliar face.
"Ah! Hello, may I ask..."
She was a strange woman. It was her first time meeting Victor, so she didn't recognize him.
But when she saw Victor's badge, she immediately reacted.
"You are Mr. Minister's assistant, Investigator No. 99, right? Hello, I am XXXX who was appointed last month..."
Victor stared into the other person's eyes, not remembering her name at all.
Stunned on the spot, Victor's eyes seemed to reflect the lady who often dozed on the counter.
The new counter lady in front of me is energetic, serious and responsible in her work, full of energy, and equally pretty, which is completely different from Sharti.
But for some reason, Victor felt uncomfortable in his heart.
So, where did Miss Charlotte go?
After coming back to his senses, Victor asked the woman in front of him: "Where is Charti?"
The lady explained to Victor very politely: "Miss Charlotte Hepburn submitted her resignation more than a month ago. Judging by the time... you should not have been in Renekton at that time."
Resigned……
Why?
Is it because I'm avoiding her? Is it making her sad?
Victor's mind started to have random thoughts.
But soon, he felt that this was a good thing. He was originally afraid of facing Sharti, but now that she was gone, Victor no longer had to worry.
He called Zoe over, who was still looking at the surroundings, and asked her to register at the front desk.
"This is the new elite investigator. Please register her and let her choose a codename."
