The Sword Saint of Arknights [MTL/Machine Translation]

Chapter 26 | New Mission

In the law enforcement center, Roy was still waiting, while Swire and Chen returned to their respective interrogation rooms after breakfast.

This time was different from before; the "interrogator" who was directly loyal to Wei Yenwu joined the interrogation.

Upon seeing the other party, Roy understood why Swire and Chen had not exaggerated. This "interrogator" was indeed as mysterious as they had described.

It was as if there was an invisible veil around him, and no matter what, Roy could not see through it. He also didn't know if the "interrogator" was watching him while he was being watched.

Had he ever released that peculiar ability on him?

In the end, unable to figure it out, Roy chose to give up.

"Trigger Mission: The Path of the Strong·Choice"

"Every strong person will encounter various trials on the path of growth, and every strong person will face various choices on the path of the strong. Will you break through with absolute power? Or will you use more meticulous schemes to make them lose everything? Make your choice."

"Mission Objective 1: Survive the enemy's conspiracy"

"Mission Objective 2: Shatter the opponent's conspiracy"

"Mission Reward: Sword-type Weapon Gift Box"

Just as Roy was about to go near the interrogation room to see the "interrogator's" method of interrogation, a prompt suddenly appeared.

If it weren't for this message, Roy would have almost thought that the system had disappeared after giving him a sword technique with decent potential.

However, the content displayed by this message was not good news. After all, anyone could see the content clearly, and the meaning contained within was self-evident.

Clearly, Roy had become the target of someone or even a group, and this group was ready to make a move on Roy, whether it be a public opinion offensive, various conspiracies and tricks, or a clear and unavoidable open conspiracy...

Roy was not clear about how these people would deal with him, but he understood another point: before the upcoming storm, he was like a tree standing in the storm.

Whether the storm would knock down the tree or the tree would withstand the storm... These would determine his future direction. Just as the mission name shows, this is a part of the path of the strong that must be taken, and the choices made on this path could even affect Roy's future in this world!

"It's kind of interesting; I want to see what these guys can do."

After a slight sigh, Roy sat back in his previous position and started to think. He needed to sort through the events that had happened during this time, which wouldn't take too long.

He needed to recall if there was any information he had missed, and he needed to reconfirm whether there were any flaws in what he had done so far.

Although reflecting on and judging the past could not change what had happened, it could summarize some useful experiences and prevent Roy from making the same mistakes again.

Meanwhile, at the security department of the Lungmen Guard Bureau.

The things that Chief Wang had smashed before had been cleared out, and now, the room was furnished with brand new furniture and a set of new porcelain from Yan.

At this moment, Chief Wang was sitting next to the coffee table, wiping the new porcelain, occasionally showing a faint smile. He had wanted this set of porcelain for a long time but never had the chance to get it. This time, however, he got it through someone else's hands. If that senior chief could quickly complete the task he had assigned, then it would be perfect.

Just then, the phone rang. After seeing the caller's name, Chief Wang pressed the answer button without hesitation.

"How's it going, Director?"

"Is everything going smoothly?"

The statement, tinged with faint pleasure, revealed Chief Wang's mood. He didn't expect the senior chief to respond so quickly. Perhaps, he should suggest promoting this senior chief?

With this thought, Chief Wang waited for the senior chief's reply, but the next moment, the smile on his face disappeared.

"Chief Wang, you have to stand up for me!"

The slightly crying voice made Chief Wang realize that something had gone wrong. The Director had not completed his task!

Perhaps, he should re-evaluate the value of this director...

With this thought, Chief Wang asked:

"What happened?"

"Chief Wang, you don't know how arrogant that new officer named Roy is. I just stepped through the gate and mentioned him, and he came over and beat me up!"

"You have to stand up for me!"

"Roy..."

This name was not unfamiliar to Chief Wang, even somewhat familiar. After all, this guy was a person "Young Master" had emphasized and valued.

If he was stopped by this guy, then it made sense. Even if Roy's file was ordinary, being valued by the "Young Master" meant he must be extraordinary in some way!

As for the Director...

The fact that he had only been able to be a director for so long after his promotion had already proven his capabilities. However, Chief Wang naturally would not say such words openly.

"Alright, alright, I will investigate this matter."

After saying this, Chief Wang hung up the phone without waiting for the senior chief to reply.

After some thought, Chief Wang opened the address book and found the lawyer's phone number, then dialed it.

After a brief ring, the other party answered the call.

"What's the matter, Chief Wang?"

"Someone is hindering me from completing the task he asked for help with."

"Who?"

After a brief exchange, Chief Wang recounted the events to the lawyer, of course, as he knew and guessed.

Afterward, the lawyer fell silent.

However, this silence did not last long. Soon, his voice came from the other end of the phone:

"I'll report to the Young Master and then contact you."

With that, the lawyer on the other side hung up the phone.

At this moment, Chief Wang showed a thought-provoking expression.

Obviously, as a "high-level" lawyer, he could not make a decision, so he needed to report to a higher level. For Chief Wang, this was not a bad thing.

After all, before getting a response, Chief Wang could take a temporary rest, although he didn't know how long this short rest would last.

However, he hoped that the other party would keep thinking about it, so he wouldn't need to invest too much energy in this matter.

"I hope he makes a decision later."

After a slight sigh, Chief Wang continued to wipe the new set of porcelain...
