Chapter 629: 202. Senior Consultant

Three days later, within the Inner Circle, in the Island Affairs Department.

In the office of bounty agent Jenela, Noland Lee was settling accounts with Jenela.

“For the first wanted criminal, Liturte, you submitted his relatively intact corpse. The Island Affairs Department examined the corpse and confirmed that there was no trace of a ‘Soul Retreat Crystal’ being triggered. Liturte himself did not have the ability to separate his soul from his body using a spell. Therefore, it is confirmed that Liturte has indeed died. I will now pay you 20% of the total bounty, which is the reward you’re entitled to. The remaining 80% will be returned to the person who initiated the bounty by the Wizard Enforcement Department.”

Jenela recounted the autopsy results while referring to the autopsy report, and pushed 26,000 gold coins toward Noland Lee.

“The second wanted criminal is the same, you submitted his corpse as well. The same goes for the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth wanted criminals. The autopsy report has confirmed that all five wanted criminals are dead.”

Jenela placed the remaining five rewards on the table and pushed them toward Noland Lee. She looked at the calm and composed wizard seated across and couldn’t help but sigh,

“You really are efficient. You chose to execute the six wanted criminals, whose crimes warranted death, on the spot, instead of capturing them for trial. You actually don’t have to hurry so much. At least for the sixth wanted criminal, you could capture him and interrogate him yourself, or turn him over to the Island Affairs Department. That way, we would not only get more clues and find the tracks of more criminals, but you could also get the full bounty. It’s a bit of a pity to think that you only got 20% of the total bounties for all six criminals…”

Noland Lee grinned,

“I have my plans, Jenela. Since the wanted criminals have committed crimes deserving death, then dead criminals are good criminals. The longer they stay alive, the more I feel they are wasting the clean water of Suman Archipelago. Don’t you agree?”

“Well, that’s true, but…” Jenela felt that something was strange, but she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

She slightly shrugged her shoulders and stopped arguing with Noland Lee anymore, as after all, Noland Lee was the one who caught the criminals, not her:

“Alright, Noland. In terms of executing bounties and arrest warrants, you make the final decision. Hmm… What do you plan on doing next? I’ve recently received no news about wanted criminals, and there aren’t any suitable bounty tasks for you at the moment.”

“Let me think…” Noland leaned his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

The high-intensity work of the past three days not only yielded Noland Lee six rewards but more.

All six criminals were from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.

Just the results of passive deconstruction brought by Noland Lee could weave a network of intel about Dread Sail for him.

The rank difference of these six criminals wasn’t high, and their combat power was at most four-circles.

They were specifically responsible for creating chaos in the outer ring of the Suman Archipelago.

Using poison, arson, and bombings to destroy the fishery, water purification, farms, and orchards, these criminals needed to carry out these periodic sabotage tasks.

After finishing a sabotage task every half a month or a month, the six criminals would receive funding from the Dread Sail Pirate Nation.
