The Blacklist

Chapter 163: Rich rewards for side quests
"It's not that easy!" Cooper shook his head. "The Ministry of Finance won't respond to our inquiries, not to mention it's the weekend. If we really want to check, we can submit the procedures through the Ministry. We'd be lucky to get the results within half a month!"

Everyone was speechless after hearing this. After a moment, Nawabi said, "Then let's find Director Kerry! He should have a solution."

Everyone thought, yes! Kerry is the deputy director of the IRS, and he personally helped the Treasury Department's Mint to regain the new banknote printing program... Well, there is also the auditor Katie who joined the SLR. He was originally an agent of the USSS and should have dealt with the Treasury Department. According to the division of powers of US law enforcement agencies, the USSS is also responsible for combating counterfeit banknotes. This is an opportunity for the hard-working Secret Service to earn extra income and earn bonuses from the Treasury Department!

Cooper's eyes lit up, and he picked up the phone and wanted to call, but Mira next to him pulled him back and said, "Harold, call tomorrow. It's too late now, and the Ministry of Finance is unlikely to be open for work!"

Cooper was stunned, and seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, he nodded, put down the phone, and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today, go back and rest, and work two hours tomorrow night." He allowed everyone to have more rest time, but he himself was preparing to come to work on time, and then find Kerry to inquire with the Ministry of Finance.

The 14th was Sunday, and Carrie was not planning to go to work, but at : she received a call from Cooper, who talked about the "lucky money" issue. There was nothing to say, so she just helped! And Elizabeth had to work overtime, and Gina wanted to help, so they went to work together!
After nine o'clock, Carrey dialed the number of the Mint executive he had left in his office. After waiting for a few minutes, he got a reply, and then he called Cooper to inform him of the result.

In the SER command hall, Cooper had just put down the phone when he saw all his men had arrived. He was very pleased and said without further ado, "Kerry just replied to me that this batch of 10 lucky money was purchased by Southeast Asian tycoon Han Chaoxiang a month ago."

Aram immediately got busy...

At this time, Mira noticed the ABC news broadcast on the big screen and couldn't help but say, "That media tycoon Jasper is really dead!"

After hearing this, several people became interested and stepped forward to watch, turning up the volume of the live broadcast: "The latest news from our station, not long ago, the Boston police received a report that the body of the deceased media tycoon Kenneth Jasper was found in the presidential suite of the Wyndham five-star hotel. According to the police, Jasper was found hanging from the shower head in the bathroom, and it is basically confirmed that he hanged himself..."

While several people were still discussing the news, Cooper's eyes fixed, and he thought of something. At this time, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw: Deputy Minister Wright! ——
In the office on the eighth floor of the Post Office, Kerry had just taken a sip of freshly brewed tea when he received a call from DOJ Deputy Secretary Wright. He had previously given this new ally a confidential smartphone, which came in handy at this moment.

"Richard, has this been dealt with?" Although he knew that mobile phone calls were confidential, Wright was still cautious and did not mention the specific matter or names.

"Well, I have successfully completed a small goal. I will just have to keep working hard in the future." Kerry replied, "Raven, how is your work over there?"

Wright knew that he was being asked whether he could withstand the pressure from above, and that the other party did not treat him as an outsider and called him by his name directly. He was very relieved and replied, "It's okay, there's no problem at work. Oh, after these two days of busy work, let's have dinner together and I'll introduce my son to you." "Okay, balance work and rest, and take care of yourself." Carrie said goodbye to him and hung up the phone.

Gina, who was helping him process documents, looked up and asked, "I didn't ask you last night if your trip to Boston went well." There was concern and a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

Kerry knew what she meant. As a former professional killer, Gina thought that this kind of thing should be done by her, and she didn't agree with him going! However, he really needed to do this - from the combat team's perspective, after Gina killed Jasper, he could only get 75% of the crime-killing value generated. If other combat partners went, he could only get 50%, and there would be no recovery of criminal funds, which would be a big loss!

Let's take a look at what he gained after completing the task yesterday. The system displayed: "Host completed hidden branch mission 1: Eliminate the secret society organization, reward 1 equipment upgrade point; kill the secret society director Jasper, reward 25.6 crime elimination points, and recover 23.8 billion criminal funds."

Not only did he complete the first side quest and unlock a new achievement; but the reward for this time alone exceeded the dozens of previous triggered quests, pushing his current crime-killing value to 125 million in one fell swoop - enough to buy four team badges, with accumulated bonuses to 4.3 million, plus the equipment upgrade point that appeared for the first time!
After research, he applied this to the planetary warrior-level protective suit, doubling its function. The 20mm rapid-fire machine gun can only hurt him now, not kill him, not to mention the long-range sniper rifle. It can be said that as long as he is careful and not attacked by heavy artillery or missiles, it is difficult for him to get hurt!

So, if he didn't do it himself this time, how could he get these benefits? However, it was difficult to explain these things to Gina, so he could only try his best to appease her and promised her a lot of conditions to make her happy.

In the afternoon, Gina told him that SER had caught the corpse smuggler and rescued a woman he had just kidnapped...

Carrie knew that the case was coming to an end. In order to grasp how the situation would develop, he really had to go down and personally interrogate the arrested guy to confirm some important information.

When he stepped out of the industrial-style freight elevator, two burly black men in suits blocked his way. One on the left and one on the right put their hands on his shoulders and asked him in a harsh tone who he was.
"Who are you?" Carrie said unhappily, looking at the two black hands pressing on his shoulders. Even when he was just a special auditor of the IRS-HSD branch, no one dared to treat him like this!

When he asked this question, he glanced at the command hall in front of him and found that there were at least a dozen strange men in suits watching the core members of SER. It was obvious that something had happened - someone came to the door again!

"Show us your ID, or we'll be rude to you!" a big black man shouted in a muffled voice.

"Fuck you!" Carrie was furious. He opened the two men's arms with his hands, kicked up with his right foot, and knocked them to the ground!
