Durham.

The Mage Association.

The pot-bellied Mediterranean was sitting comfortably on a leather chair, smoking a cigar.

Then, there was a knock on the door.

The sexy female secretary brought a document over and handed it to the Mediterranean.

“Mr. Casey, the investigation team has sent over a document. Please, have a look.”

The Mediterranean named Casey reached out with his left hand to take the document, his right hand not forgetting to pinch the secretary’s buttocks.

Judging from the female secretary’s unperturbed reaction, this was probably a common occurrence.

After tearing open the sealed envelope, Casey Cedria muttered disdainfully, “Are these swindlers still insisting on submitting the report in such an old-fashioned way?

“What a bunch of country bumpkins!”

In an attempt to curry favor, the female secretary said promptly, “That’s right. Sooner or later, these people will be abandoned by the times. I don’t know why the higher-ups value them so much.”

Sealing envelopes with lacquer was a common method of information transmission for mages.

This kind of lacquer contained a special magic. If someone other than the intended recipient opened the envelope, the words in the letter would immediately disappear.

However, in Casey’s eyes, this was a very old-fashioned behavior.

What era were they living in now?

The digital era!

As a noble leader, he believed that ‘people who work hard’ should follow their own norms and use email.

Although he didn’t understand magic at all, he was a government official. Hence, he was able to sit in this position.

At the same time, because of his experience in the government sector, he understood the importance of superficial work.

Therefore, although he was dissatisfied, he still opened the envelope.

After all, it was his job to check the reports of his subordinates and give an answer.

However, the moment he took a look, Casey frowned in dissatisfaction. The flesh on his fat face was almost squished together.

“What’s ‘Casey’?

“Don’t they know what respect is?

“They should refer to me as ‘the beloved Lord Casey Cedria’!” Casey muttered in dissatisfaction. Then, he casually glanced at the contents of the letter at a speed of ten lines per glance.

“Strangeness of a new birth? They need to pay attention to that? What a joke!

“These guys will never understand the difficulties of our leader.

“How can they spend so much resources just for the strangeness of a new birth?

“The only thing these pedantic worms know how to do is ask us for this and that!

“Do they think I don’t know anything about the occult? Strange new births are very weak!”

With a face full of disdain, Casey wrote his reply on the envelope as if he was taking revenge.

‘Rejected!’

He didn’t even include a reason.

As the honorable high-ranking member of the Mage Association, Lord Casey Cedria, was he required to give a reason to these ‘people who work for him’?

Casey casually stuffed the letter back into the envelope and handed it to the secretary.

The secretary asked carefully, “Does this letter need to be sent back the same way?”

Casey waved his hand and sneered, “No need. Just leave it at the headquarters. They’ll see it when they return.

“You must know that postage is very expensive!

“We can’t waste the country’s money on such a trivial matter.”

After saying that, Casey put out the cigar in his hand before taking out another cigar from the beautifully decorated cigar box.

…

Six hours later, the Commissioner who was waiting for news at Nord branch received a call.

“What? Rejected?!

“Doesn’t that bastard Casey know how serious this matter is?

“Lei hasn’t returned yet?
