The Sword Saint of Arknights [MTL/Machine Translation]

Chapter 16 | Farewell, A New Beginning.

"Roy, you couldn't have resigned, could you?!"

Finally, one of them asked, and then everyone turned to look at Roy.

They had long anticipated this day; after all, the resignation rate among auxiliary police is not low, but they never expected it to come so suddenly!

So much so that they were completely unprepared!

"No, I haven't."

Roy's words eased their tension a bit. Perhaps his colleague really got a promotion, and maybe the next time they meet, he will have become the leader of this group of people.

After all, with Roy's current rank and position, he was almost at the top in the auxiliary police force, and since he admitted he hadn't resigned, it was clear that he had been promoted.

"Promoted? To which department?"

"The Imperial Guard's Special Operations Group."

"The Special Operations Group, huh..."

As the words fell, Roy came to his place, placed the blue plastic box he had collected from logistics on the table, and began to pack up his things.

In fact, he didn't have much to take with him. As for things like digital certificates for network access and auxiliary police badges, he had already handed them over to the political office of the auxiliary police force. Now, apart from some personal items, he had almost nothing else to take away.

So, packing didn't take much time, but just as he finished packing and was about to leave with the box, a cry of surprise arose in the office:

"The Special Operations Group?!"

"If I remember correctly, isn't that only for regular police officers?"

"That's right, and they only recruit the elite among regular police officers. So far, apart from Chen and Swi, who returned from studying in Victoria, no one else has passed the review to join the Special Operations Group."

"Logically speaking, Roy is indeed elite, but he's not a regular police officer!"

"Hey! Couldn't it be that Roy is being kept by Swi? She's a young lady, and as a Chief Inspector, she has the quota to recommend others to join the Imperial Guard as regular police officers."

...

Almost instantly, the room was abuzz with discussion, and their words became more and more outrageous.

Even Roy had to marvel at their wild imaginations. If they were to write outlines for urban novels, they could probably come up with a bunch in no time!

But Roy was getting a bit fed up with listening. Clearly, he had gotten in on his own merit, but to these guys, it turned into him being kept. What kind of situation was that?!

Although his looks were not bad, why rely on his face when he could use his strength to earn his keep?!

"Quiet, quiet, you're the one being kept! Couldn't it be that I got in on my own strength?"

"Hey, although your strength is indeed not bad, Roy, how could you possibly get in without a recommender, especially into such a department?"

As this person finished speaking, another guy came out and took over the conversation:

"That's right, it couldn't possibly be the unapproachable Chen who recommended you, right? Naturally, it's normal for the brothers to suspect you're being kept by Swi, right?"

"My recommender is the Chen you mentioned, and also, if Swire hears you calling her Swi, you'll have a lot to endure."

With that, Roy picked up the plastic box and walked towards the door.

As for Swire he mentioned...

She was another member of the Special Operations Group, an outsider.

She, like Chen, had a young age and the rank of Chief Inspector, but unlike Chen, who was a native of Lungmen, Swire came from Victoria and was said to be the young lady of a noble family.

However, according to the information Roy currently had, she was likely a person from the Taikoo Group. After all, the last time an incident occurred in Taikoo Square, the waiters showed respect when they saw her.

Clearly, this had nothing to do with her police identity.

Swire is the transliteration of her surname. According to the naming convention of Yan Country, she should be called Swire, not Swi.

It is said that when she first joined the Imperial Guard, many people made this mistake, and this Victorian noble was quite angry about it several times. That's why Roy would say such a thing at this moment.

"Gentlemen, see you later."

As his voice fell, Roy walked out of the office, and at that moment, the room was left with people staring at each other...

Carrying his belongings, Roy left the auxiliary police force and attracted quite a bit of attention, but after entering the office area of the Imperial Guard, such gazes became much less.

When he arrived at the fifth floor, where the Special Operations Group office was located, these gazes had completely disappeared.

For someone who had reached this level, personnel changes were not considered strange, and it was only when he entered the Special Operations Group office that Roy attracted some attention.

These guys only took a glance and then left; they had their own things to do.

"Pink Sausage Dragon, how dare you pull people into the Special Operations Group without my consent?!"

"Don't forget, I'm your superior, Char Siu Cat!"

Just as he opened the door and stepped into the office, Roy was stunned by the scene before him.

At that moment, the hands of two young Chief Inspectors were almost on their weapons, and all sorts of Lungmen-style curses poured out of their mouths.

Who would have thought that two high-ranking female officers would speak such vulgar language if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes?

"Good afternoon, ladies."

With Roy's greeting, the tense atmosphere between the two eased somewhat, and almost at the same time, their gazes shifted to Roy.

"It's you!"

At that moment, Swire spoke.

As the handler of the last vicious case, Swire had some impression of Roy. After all, she had personally completed the inquiry with Roy.

Before the inquiry record, she had reviewed Roy's file, and her impression of him was not bad. After all, Roy was one of those rare individuals who worked diligently and never considered cutting corners or taking bribes.

"Welcome to the Special Operations Group."

In the end, that's all Swire could say. After all, the matter was settled, and even the highest-level documents had been issued.

Perhaps using connections could stop this, but for Swire, there was no need. However, she would not stop the necessary review...
