This dragon girl raising system is a bit strange.

The luxurious and spacious room was bathed in intense sunlight streaming through the stained-glass windows, casting a shadow on the oval mahogany table and the dark red wool carpet.

Inside the noisy room, a group of people sat down around a long table.

Ysera waited by her seat for a long time, but Thor never appeared.

Where are they?

Time flows relentlessly.

The meeting was about to begin, but Thor was still nowhere to be seen.

Just when Ysera thought Thor wasn't coming.

The crowd fell silent, all eyes turning to the doorway.

Thor walked through the gate.

He noticed everyone's gaze and said gracefully:

"Sorry everyone, I had some family matters to attend to and was five minutes late."

Being late or something.

He didn't want to either.

I was really too tired last night.

At the end of the long table, a man sat there, exuding an imposing aura without being angry.

The man looked older, with deep-set eyes, strong features, and rough, weathered skin. His gaze toward Thor held a hint of authority.

He is Darrian Brown, the director of the Guard Bureau.

He wasn't angry when he saw Thor was late; he simply said:

"It's okay."

Of course, the others present did not think so.

The crowd whispered among themselves.

You don't even need to listen to know what they're saying.

Thor ignored the stares of the crowd and sat down in an empty seat near the corner.

He glanced at them and realized that most of the people involved in this case were from the Guard Bureau.

The only empty seat was the first one to the director's right; there was only one empty chair, and no one sat down.

The meeting still hasn't started.

The reason lies in this vacant position.

Just now, the director and his entourage were not waiting for Thor, but for this mysterious visitor.

The mysterious visitor was nowhere to be seen, and no one dared to voice a single objection.

Even the bureau chief didn't dare to start a meeting without authorization.

After an unknown amount of time, Herbert finally spoke, saying:

"It's been more than half an hour, Chief Darrian."

"It seems unlikely that the distinguished guest sent by His Majesty Enor will arrive."

Thor raised an eyebrow, having caught the key information.

Was the mysterious guest who was absent sent by Princess Enor?

Why doesn't that person show up?

Thor noticed that people around him were whispering and discussing the identity of this distinguished guest.

No one knew the true identity of that VIP.

Even Thor, who had seen the parallel world script, didn't know.

Director Da Rui'an sighed helplessly.

"Let's begin then."

"Perhaps this distinguished guest has more important matters to attend to."

Anyway, let's get started.

"If I have offended Lord Enor, I will take responsibility."

Then, he cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"This morning's operation was remarkably successful."

Thor was puzzled.

This morning's operation? Nobody notified us.

Didn't I tell Isela to give me feedback on the information in a timely manner?

Ysera gave her an apologetic look.

Thor suddenly realized.

Ysera, perhaps, was also kept in the dark, just like herself.

Thor remained calm and listened as the chief recounted the events that had transpired.

The group had been lying in wait outside Oscar's manor since the night before last.

Waiting for the complacent count to reveal a weakness.

However, the count and his son never appeared in public.

This morning, the guardhouse finally couldn't hold back any longer.

The ambushers outside the manor and those around the underground magic array acted simultaneously, wiping out the enemy in one fell swoop.

"The important thing is, Count Oscar is dead."

Count Oscar is dead?

Thor was genuinely surprised.

That powerful Earl Oscar.

He just died like that?

The director then explained:

"It was because his body was discovered that we launched the raids on the rest of the area this morning."

"Count Oscar died in front of one of the underground bases."

"Based on reports from the sentry posts hidden in the surrounding area that were responsible for surveillance."

"He was covered in blood and ran towards the door in terror. He hadn't gone far when he was found dead at the doorway."

Thor realized that this was not a simple matter.

According to the original world line:

The Count, after the sacrifice, was severely injured due to the unstable state of his soul after the sacrifice and the attack from the Saintess.

With various debuffs stacked on top of him, the count is probably at the bottom of the sixth tier in terms of strength.

The current count has not yet completed the human sacrifice, so he should be around the sixth rank in strength.

A sixth-tier level of strength is indeed not considered top-tier combat power in this world.

However, in this city, the sixth rank is already the peak of combat power.

Able to instantly kill someone with sixth-tier combat power?

Do people like that really exist in this city?

Thor suddenly thought of someone.

Daryan gave the answer.

"It was probably someone sent by Her Majesty the Princess to handle it."

If it is that mysterious distinguished guest.

The instant kill of a sixth-tier transcendent being seems perfectly reasonable.

This caught the attention of Her Majesty the Princess.

Is this what happens in the end?

Thor felt uneasy.

However, even so, this matter is still a bit too strange.

If this matter were really resolved so easily...

So what was the purpose of the princess's personal order?

Even someone like Thor had a backup plan.

The count who always lived in the shadows.

He would die so easily on the roadside without any warning.

Darrian continued.

"The Earl is dead, but we cannot let our guard down."

"His son Oliver is still alive."

"Furthermore, we found traces of black magic at the scene."

Everyone present gasped in shock.

"Dark magic? How could such forbidden magic exist?"

"Then aren't we in danger too?"

Count Oscar's subordinates also include extraordinary individuals who use dark magic.

If used properly, black magic can make life worse than death.

No one wants to be an enemy of a user of dark magic.

"In short, you don't need to worry about the human sacrifice for now."

"Just deal with the Earl's son Oliver and the other dark magic users."

"Let's move forward with this goal in mind."

Then, the director's gaze fell on Thor, and he spoke in a loud voice.

"We should all thank Thor."

"He helped uncover clues about the criminal."

A sudden remark silenced everyone.

Herbert, who knew the details of the interrogation, added information, revealing the truth of the interrogation at the time.

The venue was completely silent.

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now."

Darrian then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

The group may disperse.

Just as Thor was about to leave, the chief called him back.

Director Darrian remained silent for a long time in front of Thor.

After everyone else had left, leaving only the two of them in the meeting room, the director finally spoke:

"Your Excellency, you have played a crucial role in this operation."

"I'm really grateful to you."

"Having someone like you is truly the pride of the kingdom."

Faced with Darian's blatant lies, and recalling the praise he had just given him in front of everyone, he was deeply moved.

Thor found it somewhat amusing.

He has such a bad reputation.

The pride of the kingdom?

Of course, he still had to give the bureau chief some face.

"Yes, Director, you are too. You and I are both the pride of the kingdom."

The bureau chief smiled.

He then revealed his true thoughts.

"Your Excellency."

"In consideration of my actions this time, could you please put in a good word for me with Her Majesty the Princess?"

Darius's true colors were revealed.

Thor understood.

This kid knew that His Majesty the Princess had personally assigned him to a task, and he thought he was a confidant of Aynor.

At this moment, they will try every means to curry favor with him.

Thor smiled at the sycophantic Darion, said nothing more, and left.
