66 Alarming News! Countering the Enemy (1/2)
Within a quiet room, a middle-aged man with a chiseled face, sharp eyes, and long dark hair reaching to the nape of his neck sat on a couch while browsing a tablet. The TV was currently showing the news, but the man's eyes were preoccupied with the details on his tablet while vaguely listening.
”Violence continues to rise as the occasional sightings of the newly identified Planet Devouring Star has stirred the mind of masses. Authorities have deployed both the law enforcement and mechanized infantry to keep the peace on the streets. Following the recent announcement made by the Imperial Council, all citizens are required to conform to a strict curfew regimen, the date for the official briefing by the Imperial Council has also been set for January 30. Here's more on what's next on the Earling Star News...”
Alan's eyes shifted towards the TV for a slight moment before he spoke, ”Madness... as expected, in any disaster, there are always those who will strive to obstruct the balance and create as much disorder as possible. I suppose, it's in this way they some can feel worth, or it could even be that they're just plain looking to get some advantage they can in the case that the disaster is nothing but a hoax. Sigh... there's no point even bothering to ponder it too much.”
After removing his eyes from the TV and fixing it on the tablet, Alan couldn't help but speak with a mocking look on his face.
”Well, this is interesting, having your husband forge documents to claim full benefits form your brother's will. Hmph! This world is truly a dark one, indeed...” Alan said as his eyes gazed upon the list of information below a familiar-looking face, a grown beauty with a tan complexion and long red-dyed hair, perfectly matching with her red lips, fine nose, and almond eyes.
”Leah Cross... oh well, I suppose I should deal with this for him since I have a bit of time.” Alan said as he shifted his eyes from the tablet towards the table, he then pressed a button, causing a screen to pop up and spoke, ”Call Nelly.”
Following his words, the screen began to show a portrait of a bald black man with a thick beard, he had a broad nose and sported a set of cunning but sharp eyes. Soon, the screen was opened, and the face of this man was visible. He currently had a tinge of blood on his face as at this time, the sound of running water was heard from his background.
”Sir Alan, how can I help you today?” Nelly said while washing his hands.
Alan looked at this and spoke, ”Nelly, why do you keep calling me Sir at such times? Where not at work right now, you know?”
Nelly smirked and replied, ”Well, for you, that may be true, but as you can see, I just got off a project.”Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.
Alan's eyes flashed when he asked, ”Who was it this time?”
Nelly shook his head and replied, ”Old James...”
Alan sighed at this before he spoke, ”I never thought we had so many spies, our numbers have dwindled by a large extent. I really don't know how we're going to handle it if there are more amongst our ranks.”
Nelly, hearing this dried his hands and shifted his eyes towards the direction of the screen when he spoke, ”Don't worry too much; after all, you've still got me.”
Alan looked at Nelly deeply, as his eyes turned slightly red when he spoke, ”Nelly, it must be hard...”
Nelly remained silent for a while before he took out a cigarette and lit it. After giving it a puff, he gazed towards the floor where a corpse was vaguely shown in the on the screen when he spoke, ”It's fine, I can manage. Let's get on topic, so Alan, what do you want me to deal with this time?”
Alan organized his mood and spoke, ”This one is much easier, you only have to send maybe one or two trustworthy guys to the respected authorities. Have them gather a few inspectors to deal with a woman and a man, there's no need to kill them, they only need to pay back what they stole and suffer a harsh penalty. I am sending the details now,”
As Alan said this, he pressed a button on the tablet, causing all the details about Leah and Milano Lewis to be forwarded to Nelly.
Beep! With a loud sound, Nelly looked at his unusual-looking wristlet, which seemed to have a widescreen on it. There, he saw a mail like an icon popped up with the title of the sender being Alan.
”Received, this should prove to be a decent little break, I'll get this done quickly,” Nelly said with a smile as he hung up the phone.
Alan stared at the now dark holographic screen with a smile before he pressed the button causing it to vanish, he then put down the tablet and lifted his head towards the ceiling as his face grew a bit serious while he thought.
