Scarlett hadn't told them about her overseas posting, but there was no time to ask. Mrs. Temir half-understood: "Is this your colleague?"
“Yes…yes…”
Scarlett was not very good at lying and was pulled back into the living room.
Tia took the teacup handed to her by Uncle Ryan, thanked him politely, and explained, "Yes, ma'am. I'm Scarlett's colleague. If you want to be more specific, I can be considered her boss. Of course, not a direct report."
Mr. Lane suddenly realized, "Oh! So Miss Bonaparte works in the police department?"
The couple was not very clear about the existence of the Anti-Suppression Bureau. Even to their own daughter, they only knew that "it might be working in a confidential department of the National Police Agency."
"Yes, that's right. Scarlett needs to be stationed abroad with me for some time. I think: you two are Scarlett's elders after all, so no matter what, we need to seek your opinion."
"this......"
Ansu has no idea of being rooted to her hometown, but Mr. Ryan still has some concerns about sending his daughter abroad.
Tia said, "This is also a good opportunity for Scarlett. The promotion opportunities in the police department are limited. If she can go abroad to gain some experience, perhaps she can be transferred to another place as a police inspector. After working for a period of time, she can be transferred back to Silver Castle and become a senior police inspector. Right, Scarlett?"
Scarlett was helpless and said, "That's it."
——It seems that this messenger lady has completely figured herself out.
"Senior Police Inspector?" Mr. Ryan was shocked. He knew what a senior police inspector meant!
The responsibilities of a police inspector in the capital are slightly smaller than those in the local areas. A police inspector usually oversees a small street, such as the wharf in Wugang District, which has a police station. The chief of the police station is considered a police inspector.
A senior police inspector is responsible for supervising a small area. Wugang District is divided into six areas.
It might not sound like a big deal, but this is Silver Castle—and there are probably tens of thousands of people in such a small area!
"Ms. Bonaparte, are you sure that Scarlett's material is capable of such a high position?"
"Of course! Uncle Ryan, Scarlett has talent in this area in every way. So I will help her. But this help is also based on the premise that Scarlett has a certain resume. Otherwise, it will not convince the public."
"That... you're right. But since we're going abroad, I think we should ask Scarlett what she thinks."
"Of course, you're right, uncle. By the way, can I have a meal here?"
The Ryans were even more flattered. "It's just that the food is a little simple. If you don't mind, of course it's fine."
...................
...................
After the meal, Tia expressed her gratitude to Ryan and his wife very politely.
It must be said that this polite and graceful appearance gave the couple a very good impression of "Funina Bonaparte". This humble posture did not even seem like that of an aristocrat!
Although nobles also like to appear humble, people with a little experience can often see the traces of pretense in the details.
This is not because they are insincere, but because of their background and environment.
However, this noble girl seemed to be naturally modest and courteous in every move she made.
——Of course, Scarlett Lane doesn't think so.
In the bedroom.
Scarlett was a little uneasy and said frankly, "Ms. Messenger, to be honest, you really scared me. I had no idea that the Witch Lady would actually let you come directly to my house."
"Don't worry, Scarlett. I won't do anything to your family. I won't even stay in Anzu. Just don't worry."
Tia sat in Scarlett's seat and adjusted her sitting position.
She was very familiar with how to role-play. Whether it was the way she spoke, walked, sat, or even the subtle expressions on her face, they were all completely different from "Tia Sulph".
Socially speaking, this body has indeed become a brand new person, "Funina Bonaparte".
"My reason for coming to you is simple. He needs your help. I need you to help me go to Iris and retrieve His 'things'. You can certainly distrust me and do whatever you want, but what I want to say is that this isn't a mission, it's a deal."
"The two parties in a transaction are naturally equal, right?"
Furninna folded her hands in her lap and said sincerely, "You can ask for anything. Whether it's money, power, knowledge, strength, or any strange desire, I will do my best to satisfy you. This is my job and my obligation."
"Request..." Scarlett sat down, holding her wide-brimmed hat and slightly pinching the edge.
Despite the other party being frank and honest, Scarlett felt strangely like she was meeting Commander Sulph for the first time, who had resisted strict discipline. In short, she was nervous!
"Can we ask for this later when we need it... But I also have a request. It may sound a bit presumptuous, but this is exactly my principle, just like the witch lady requires an equal exchange."
"Please say."
Scarlett said seriously, "I will never betray my country, betray procedures and laws, nor will I betray the justice in my heart."
"Of course, everyone has their boundaries, don't they? Scarlett, you seem to have a lot of questions."
Scarlett was only tough for a moment, but her momentum immediately fell. She said weakly: "Yes, you guessed it right. In fact, the thing I don't understand the most is:
"I'm just a nobody. At most, I've done a few things behind others. Whether it's the Witch Lady or Miss Finina, they could have chosen someone better and more useful. But why did they have to choose me?"
Tia perked up when she talked about this.
Miss Finina raised her head and smiled brightly. "Why? That's a very good question. Although this world is always in chaos and hell is empty, Scarlett, do you know? Miracles and magic do exist."
Volume 1: Chapter 159 Eleanor: Why don’t I take action?
16 Crown Street, second floor bedroom.
Tia controlled the puppet to enter a safe area, and then was taken away under the protection of the spiritual crow. The projected soul also gradually returned.
Her communication with Scarlett was quite simple. Scarlett was actually very easy to deal with - she was a pushover, and as long as it didn't violate her principles, she would do anything you asked her to do.
For example, Tia asked her to help gather a group of silver handkerchiefs to keep watch for her, which would definitely not be possible.
It was too silver and messy. Not to mention "Miss Envoy", even "Captain Sulph" had to ask Scarlett to wear a silver bracelet.
Thinking of this, Tia went downstairs and happened to meet Anne tinkering with a simplified ceremony she got from an underground society in Saint Laurent.
Eleanor and Vera were there too. Anne said, "This ritual layout looks like something from an Eastern order, doesn't it? Eleanor, Vera, what do you two think?"
Eleanor was sleepy and said in a daze, "Use your eyes to see."
Vera was lying on the sofa next to the glass box, like a salted fish that had been brought ashore to dry in the sun.
The red-haired girl could look the gecko in the glass box straight in the eye by tilting her head back.
The gecko was a recent one that Eleanor raised. It was khaki in color and lay on the edge of the glass box with its tongue hanging out. Its big eyes were sparkling.
Vera and the gecko looked at each other, their eyes flickering - this was because they had just learned the Dancing Light technique.
Hearing Anne's question, Vera asked in confusion: "What the hell?"
These two girls, one is unlearned and unskilled, the other has no skills and no learning.
Annie said helplessly, "Come and help me. Help me see what's going on with this ceremony."
The two looked at each other and said, "I don't understand."
Eleanor said, "I can go to the Suppression Bureau and call Ms. Bernice."
"Don't abuse your power for something like this. Ms. Bernice has to work too!" Anne lectured Eleanor. Seeing Tia coming downstairs, she asked, "Tia, come over and take a look."
Tia walked over. She knew some knowledge about the Eastern Sect.
Her Great Philosopher Sequence 9 promotion ritual is the secret book of the Eastern Sect. Maen Cullen gave her many promotion rituals, including many of the Eastern Sect's rituals.
Tia looked at it carefully several times and asked curiously, "This is a ritual I've never seen before. Where did you get this from?"
Anne thought for a moment and said, "It came from an underground society at school. It seems to be called the Holy Dance."
"What it is?"
Tia was even more confused.
She had been punching in and out of school all the time during this period, and had no social activities on campus. Instead, she gave a lot of herbal mixtures to a group of professors for free.
Herbalism is a bit like witch medicine to some extent. Logically, professors immersed in a technical atmosphere should be reluctant to learn about it, but in fact, many people highly praise it - after all, it is indeed effective.
While delivering the herbal mixture, Tia chatted with the old men and women about family matters, calling them "grandpa and grandma" as if they were her own relatives, and gave them gifts from time to time. In more than a month, she had established many stable relationships.
Chunchun is here to expand her network.
As for the underground society - what is that?
Annie said, "They're clubs that the school doesn't recognize. They definitely won't openly recognize the occult. But there has to be some communication, right? There are some underground occult clubs. The president seems to have studied abroad in Tianfang and is a senior who has been in the Sequence for quite some time."
"I see. But I really don't understand this ritual. I'll make a copy and see how it works. Annie, don't try it yet."
Tia was afraid of some danger.
Anne nodded in agreement, and then heard Tia ask, "Speaking of which, I'm going to Newlon Harbor on a business trip for a while. Anne, are you coming?"
Anne thought about this.
She actually wanted to go back because she missed Evelyn very much.
But I don’t miss much.
Annie shook her head and said, "Forget it. If I'm only going home for a day or two, I can always go back. If I need a longer vacation, I'm about to take a course that crosses over with the School of Engineering. I've finally managed to establish a good relationship with the professor, so it's best to go back to class first."
"That's fine." Tia looked at Vera again and waved, "How about you?"
"Will you be on duty for me when we get back?"
Vera lay on the sofa, feeling resentful—and it wasn't her fault. There were four people at 16 Crown Street, three of them had nothing to do, and she was the only one who worked like a beast, waking up at six and leaving at nine.
He finally became an adult and received Hengshui-style education.
At least the slaves still have the blessing of 996. Even for child laborers whose treatment is exploited, working twelve hours a day is a big deal. Because of the child labor cases that broke out some time ago, factory owners now know to take the initiative to reduce working hours to avoid killing people and being targeted by the police and being slaughtered as fat sheep.
She works 697 for 15 hours a day, which is worse than cattle and horses. She is a pure wage slave.
No, not even an employment relationship.
A trainee slave.
Vera felt immense pain and humiliation, so she changed her side and continued to empty her mind.
When Tia saw this, she stopped making things difficult for the child.
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, you're already working like a beast of burden. Who wouldn't be annoyed?
As for Eleanor...
There is no need to think about it. Tia would never take Eleanor, who is a princess, to Newlon Port.
This matter has come to an end.
In the evening, Tia went to give Annie some extra lessons to brush up on her junior high and high school physics knowledge, but she was interrupted while teaching.
Annie felt a terrible headache looking at the formulas on the paper. She raised her hand and said, "Teacher Tia, I don't understand how to solve the problem of simple harmonic motion."
"The spring vibrator here... Wait a minute, I'm going to go out for a moment."
Tia felt someone calling her name, so she got up and went to the bathroom.
At first she thought it was Scarlett calling.
When I dived deeper, I found it was Eleanor.
In the master bedroom.
The girl with platinum-blonde hair watched as the shrine slowly rose above the table.
Eleanor was eager to try and asked expectantly, "Do you like me?"
Tia: “???”
"Eleanor, are you ill?"
"Am I sick? I don't know."
"...Let's get down to business. Why are you asking this?"
"You hid something from Anne and Vera about your visit to Newlon Harbor! But you were very honest with me, so does Tia like me?"
"...I didn't even ask you. Logically, I was keeping it completely secret from you."
"Eh..." Eleanor thought about it and felt the same way, feeling a little depressed.
Tia said, "I'm going to use the puppet to go to Iris, but this is our secret."
"Oh. Want to take the church boat?"
"Bingo. That's it. But I don't want to expose my new identity as Funina. So I'm still trying to get an anonymous ticket."
