Chapter 643: Water Hunter Dog Collar
Chapter 643: Water Hunter Dog Collar
Leopard Bureau, Whale Bureau... and Cat Bureau?
After glancing at the three division chiefs, whose expressions were calm but whose eyes held a hint of caution, Lyon nodded slightly in greeting and took the initiative to speak up.
"Greetings to the three division chiefs. During the time when Director Olivia is absent, I'll rely on your support."
"Er... of course, of course."
"No problem, no problem."
"You're too kind, you're too kind."
The three division chiefs were slightly taken aback by Lyon's unexpected willingness to cooperate, but they quickly recovered and responded with affirmative murmurs. The atmosphere in the director's office instantly became harmonious.
"Alright, now that you've met, I can prepare to depart. As you know, the Archer Director is pressing for an early start, so..."
"Please wait a moment!"
Seeing that the red-haired director seemed ready to leave, the middle-aged woman from the Cat Bureau quickly spoke up to stop her.
"Director Olivia, there's another matter you haven't addressed yet, aside from introducing us."
"Oh, right, there is another matter. My apologies."
After offering an insincere apology, the red-haired director turned to Lyon and explained,
"It's like this. Director Misha and the others heard some unreliable rumors from the cleaners who participated in the recent promotion exam, so they are concerned about your 'disciplinary' issues. That's why they want me to communicate with you in advance."
Communicate? More like 'suppress', right?
Lyon instantly understood the hidden meaning in the red-haired director's words and couldn't help but frown slightly. However, he nodded and assured the three division chiefs,
"Please rest assured, I am very mindful of my actions. Unless there are very special circumstances, I will not act on my own. During this period of more than half a month, I will be cautious and follow orders. You don't need to worry about such matters."
"...I understand."
Lyon appeared slightly displeased but remained cooperative and didn't show any signs of resistance. The three division chiefs who had come to provide support exchanged glances and simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief.
The elderly man from the Whale Bureau smiled awkwardly and also offered an explanation,
"My apologies, we may have been a bit overcautious. But as you know, the Virgin Bureau's jurisdiction includes two royal bloodlines, which could become the primary targets of the Slaughter King Sect's attack.
To ensure stability and control, we have to be extra careful and try to avoid any unexpected factors. We can't help but be more considerate... hehe..."
"I understand."
Lyon nodded, sensing the three division chiefs' deep-seated wariness or even prejudice towards him. He then turned to the red-haired director and asked,
"Director, aside from these two matters, is there anything else?"
"There is one more thing..."
Before the red-haired director could speak, the last division chief from the Leopard Bureau stepped forward and handed over a beast tooth necklace. With a kind expression, he said,
"This is a communication necklace. If you wear it around your neck, we can contact you at any time as long as you don't go too far from the capital. In case you encounter any trouble, it will be easier for us to provide timely support."
So... once I put this on, you can track my location and condition, but I remain unaware of your whereabouts?
Leon instantly discerned the young man's true intentions with just a single earful. He paused for a moment, then reached out and took the Beast Tooth Necklace, gently caressing the glazed canine teeth coated in pulp.
【Name: Water Hunter Dog Collar (Response, Attention, Restraint)】
【Appearance: A somewhat ugly, rustic-looking necklace with a base resembling a collar from a large canine species. It has a pair of crystallized canine eyes and four enamel-coated canine teeth, each showing signs of wear. When worn, one can hear a sharp dog bark.】
【Ability: Respond to Calls, Shared Vision, Restraint】
【Cost: Continuously consumes the wearer's Immersion Value】
【File: An ancient, special aberration derived from an old Water Hunter Dog. The wearer gains the ability to hear calls from a great distance, just like the now-extinct Water Hunter Dogs. The two crystallized eyes of the Water Hunter Dog will immediately revive, sharing the surrounding vision with the caller.
Additionally, as the old Water Hunter Dogs often ate small prey on their own without permission, their collars were tightened to prevent such behavior. This aberration inherits a similar trait, capable of restraining the wearer's specific eating habits.】
【Evaluation: An invisible dog leash without a physical leash. Trust me, you won't want to wear this.】
【Immersion Value: 3.5】
"..."
So, this so-called Beast Tooth Necklace is actually a modified dog collar?
After uncovering the true nature of the Beast Tooth Necklace, Leon's expression turned slightly cold, but he didn't immediately question them. Instead, he looked at the Red-Haired Commissioner with a puzzled expression.
What's the deal with these three? Are they here to pick a fight?
Probably not. They were indeed sent here on orders to provide support.
Then what's the story with this dog collar? Haven't they read my file? Why would I ever agree to wear this?
They should have read your file, but there's a traitor in the bureau who hasn't been caught yet. So, I didn't include all the details in your file, and they don't fully understand your abilities.
That's ridiculous! How did these three become division commanders?
It's normal. They might be cautious, meticulous, and thorough, but that doesn't necessarily make them smart.
So, they wanted me to call you here, hoping I could convince you to wear this willingly?
It's quite obvious that's what they had in mind.
"..."
Through a silent exchange of glances and a few scattered soul waves, Leon quickly understood the situation. He silently retrieved the Black Mountain Sheep from the Mirror World.
"Hey! That won't do!"
Assuming Leon wasn't planning to wear the Beast Tooth Necklace himself, but rather to put it on the Black Mountain Sheep, the Leopard Bureau's Commissioner's expression changed slightly. He smiled and said,
"If someone else wears this, they'll need to relay information, and in case of sudden emergencies, their response might be delayed. Our support might also be slower..."
"You mother! Heh! Damn!"
The Black Mountain Sheep, already aware of the situation, spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm, a specialty of long-time smokers. His eyes widened, and he didn't disappoint, immediately blasting out,
"You three mother! How dare you put a leash on me? Just you wait! If I had my balls back, I'd show you why I'm your wild father!"
