Ke-style law enforcement officers

Chapter 254 Kai

The kitten tucked its neck in, rubbed against Rebecca's chest a couple of times, and then jumped up like a compressed spring, landing on Milo's arm.

The tiny black ball of fur, no bigger than the palm of your hand, stumbled and crawled up Milo's arm to his shoulder.

"Uh~"

It burped.

But it wasn't a milk burp; the breath it exhaled had a strong, putrid smell of a living corpse.

After burping, it started rubbing its face against Milo's neck in a very familiar way, making a "gurgling" sound.

……

"I go……"

Milo pinched his nose.

"What have you been doing?"

It is now almost certain that...
At this moment, other law enforcement officers who had received the news rushed to the intensive care unit.

They came fully armed.

A huge, dark mass of people filled almost the entire corridor of the ward.

As for the two unlucky guys who were bumped into at the door, they were carried out immediately.

……

"Calm down, gentlemen, don't disturb our chief of staff's rest."

Milo gestured for them to stop crowding into the ward.

"She's alright, she's alright."

He nudged the black cat on his shoulder, but the cat stubbornly clung to Milo's neck, making adorable purring noises.

The place was a mess.

Feeling as if the entire ceiling might collapse at any moment, Milo suggested moving Rebecca to another ward. So, everyone worked together to move Rebecca to another clean and tidy room.

……

Nero arrived quickly.

His face looked terrible, extremely terrible.

As everyone knows, one of his two prized students died mysteriously in the town of Ikham, and the other is now lying in the intensive care unit and has been attacked. Anyone would be furious in his situation, so the fact that he didn't lose his temper the moment he entered the room shows how much self-control he has.

"Brothers, let's get out of here. If you want to stay, move closer to the building's entrances and exits and the passageways. You guys are sucking all the air out of this place."

Milo indicated that some of the enforcement team members could be withdrawn.

The group exchanged bewildered glances, and after seeing Nero nod, they retreated in an orderly fashion.

However, some were still left in the aisle.

……

"What exactly is going on?"

Nero grabbed Milo by the collar.

Milo could clearly feel the guy's clenched fist trembling slightly.

He might not be able to fully empathize with Nero's feelings at that moment, but he could probably understand the anger of a respected teacher or elder when they see their child in danger.

“Although it’s complicated to explain…” Milo even bent down slightly to match Nero’s height, making it easier for the other to hold his collar.

“Let’s put it in a complicated way!” Nero stared intently at Milo: “Didn’t you keep saying you’d clean up all the troubles for me?”

“My, my problem.” Milo made a gesture of surrender: “You have every reason to be angry, no problem, completely understandable.”

The other officers outside the door, hearing Nero's roar, fell silent, not daring to utter a sound.

Only the little black cat on Milo's shoulder bared its teeth and hissed at Nero, its face contorted with malice.

……

However, seeing Milo's state, Nero couldn't muster any anger. He released Milo's collar, leaned on his cane, and gasped for breath. After a long pause, he said in a deep voice, "I overreacted."

Milo straightened up, slowly adjusted his tie, glanced back at Rebecca's haggard face on the hospital bed, and said:

"That's understandable."

“You’ll fully understand when you have descendants.” Nero sighed.
"But including this time, you've saved her three times already, so I shouldn't be angry with you."

“Next time you have wine as good as that, save me a bottle.” Milo shrugged.

“No problem.” Nero agreed very readily.

……

"So where are the attackers?" Nero had seen the horrific scene in the hospital room and knew that a terrible battle had definitely taken place there.

“Hmm…” Milo scratched his head: “The attackers are those… remnants I mentioned yesterday, let’s call them that for now. But I’m late this time. Strictly speaking, I’ve only saved her twice. This time, the credit doesn’t go to me, it does.”

Milo pointed to the little black cat on his shoulder.

“It?” Nero glanced at Milo. “Don’t joke around at a time like this.”

“I knew you’d say that, but I really don’t want to lie. You’re one of the few people I can tell the truth to,” Milo said, shrugging.

"The attackers have been dealt with?" Nero asked, still somewhat skeptical.

"Gurgle~" The little black cat let out another burp.

Milo pinched his nose helplessly: "As far as I know, yes."

“Alright, I’ll send more people to take over the building until she wakes up.” Nero, now calmer, was much easier to talk to. He quickly issued the order and then instructed Milo, “Remember what you promised me.”

“There won’t be any more problems this time. I’ll keep an eye on things here for a while.” Milo nodded and said, “Although I’m not entirely sure why they attacked Rebecca, from another perspective, it’s actually much easier than me searching for a needle in a haystack, right?”

Although this might sound like using Rebecca as bait, rationally speaking, it is indeed the best option.

"How many men do you need?" Nero asked bluntly.

“Uh.” Milo glanced at the little black cat on his shoulder, and the black cat also turned its head to look at Milo.

He said, “I just need someone to take care of Rebecca. You know, things like washing and changing clothes need to be done by a woman. I guess you don’t trust the nurses in the hospital, so pick someone you can trust.”

“I’ll take care of this,” Nero nodded.

……

...

Tonight's events turned out to be a false alarm.

But this also served as a wake-up call for Milo.

He wasted an entire day at the West City Law Enforcement Office without gaining any insight into anything related to the Dream Guide, and he never imagined that the remaining zombies would target Rebecca.

Perhaps it's because the will of the clan still persists—after all, Sansa's hatred for the enforcers runs very deep—or perhaps there are other reasons, but in any case, Milo cannot allow such an accident to happen again.

……

In the middle of the night, an officer brought over the person Nero had assigned to take care of Rebecca.

As Milo sat idly on a wooden stool in the hospital room, he saw a woman with long white hair walk into the room.

"Kay?"

He recognized the girl in front of him at a glance.

She was the only child to survive the case in Icam, but after Milo and Rebecca brought her back to Nero, they never saw her again.

"How long has it been? It must have been about two months?" Milo looked at the graceful girl before him and smiled with satisfaction.

"Nero is really bold to send you to take care of Rebecca."

"It was I who asked Uncle Nero for it."

Kai shook his head, then obediently greeted Milo:

"Long time no see, Brother Milo! Oh? What an adorable kitten! Can I pet it? Hmm, why does it smell?"
