Chapter 213: 213

Secretary Peter was dressed in casual clothes. After ordering some brandy from the waiter, he smiled and said to Locke, “His Majesty mentioned you today! He said that he’d like to see you again if there’s a chance. Come with me to the palace tomorrow?”

This old man was really well-informed.

Not only did he know that Locke had come to the Heavenly City, he even knew that Locke was at the bar.

Locke did not mind. He shrugged and said, “Maybe next time. His Majesty is too busy with work. I can’t disturb him…”

Locke did not like the atmosphere in the palace that was too ritualistic.

Peter nodded slightly. “We have something that we want to entrust to you. I didn’t expect you to come! That’s good too. It’s better to communicate in person than over the phone!”

Locke raised his eyebrows warily, squinting at the old fox.

During the incident in Wind City, Locke had vaguely suspected that the royal family was behind it.

After all, they were the biggest beneficiaries!

“Don’t be nervous, child! It’s just a small matter that I’ll trouble you to investigate. I’ll prepare a reward for you! How about it? Do you want to try your skills in Heavenly City?” Peter handed the waiter a tip.

“But I still have something to do the night after tomorrow. I’m afraid I can’t help.” Locke did not care because the advancement of his Battle Beast was more important than what Peter had mentioned.

In Heavenly City, Locke did not have many friends, so a student naturally would not have any business. Peter thought about the important matters that could happen in the city the night after tomorrow.

Peter quickly said, “Don’t tell me that you’re going to the auction of Harrington Company the day after tomorrow?”

The other party was well-informed. Locke knew that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and admitted it.

“That’s a coincidence… Believe me, it won’t delay you! You can do both!” Peter pushed up his glasses.

“What’s the condition?” Locke went straight to the point.

Peter liked this kind of conversation and said, “It’s an antique about dragons!”

“Sure!” Locke agreed without thinking.

The materials for dragons were not something that could be bought with money!

Now, Locke could only rely on the royal family.

Taking this opportunity to deepen the relationship between him and royal family was also for the sake of the future!

“Follow me…” Peter put the money on the table and led Locke into a long black car.

…

Half an hour later, they came to the front of an apartment.

It was a very ordinary two-story apartment.

As ordinary as it could be, the first and second floors were the structure of a lounge.

However, the secret was in the basement.

After pulling a switch, the wall began to turn.

Once they entered, they realized that there was another world.

This place was very spacious. They could not see the end of it!

There were at least thousands of people here.

Some of them were looking at the images that they had sent back from their “monitoring Battle Beast.”.

Another group was investigating the information of some wanted criminals.

This place looked like a police station.

Sure enough, after taking two steps, they saw a big badge hanging on the wall.

“This is one of the secret police stations of Heavenly City. Let’s go. Let’s talk in the office…”

Everyone was very busy and only used their eyes to salute Peter.

At the same time, they also looked at Locke in surprise.

After arriving at an office, Peter immediately turned on the big screen and a middle-aged man appeared on the screen.

He looked very good and looked to be in his fifties. He had the aura of a noble.

There was no one else in the office.

Peter went straight to the point. “Let me introduce you. This is Duke Butler, the brother-in-law of His Majesty the king! He’s also the big boss behind Harrington Company!”

Locke had a vague feeling that things had become interesting. He crossed his arms and showed an interested expression.

“The Harrington Company he runs is one of the best black market companies in the entire Heavenly City. Relying on the royal family’s background, he has been unpunished for more than 20 years! He has earned countless amounts of money. His name was also among the previous rebels in Wind City! However, His Majesty is unable to deal with him now because of the lack of evidence…

“However, we must pull out this nail! This fellow has been in Heavenly City for many years and has a wide network. Even most of our royal agents are his friends. The moment we make a move, he’ll be on guard! Therefore, it’s most appropriate for this matter to be handled by a new face like you.

“Destroy Harrington Company, find evidence of his crime, and bring him to me. Make sure to uproot them all at once!”

Peter’s words were finally finished and could be said to be very clear.

Although he wanted to deal with His Majesty’s brother-in-law, it was Peter who had participated in the rebellion first.

It was reasonable to deal with him.

“Why do I feel like an agent…” Locke kept feeling that Peter was setting him up.

“Hahahaha…” Peter laughed for a while and continued. “Let’s experience it first! You’re about to graduate anyway, so you have to think about the future!”

Locke did not refute him. He did not know why. Perhaps deep in his heart, he was also looking forward to such an exciting job!

“But you just said that he has many connections and friends. If I go and cause trouble, what if I implicate others?”

Locke was giving him a precaution.

Peter knew Locke’s personality. He was a very decisive person and would not often think so much.

He had already discussed this with the king.

“Anyway, this fellow can’t implicate the royal family, so if anyone tries to stop you… Kill!”

After hearing this, Locke did not have much to worry about.

This was also to eliminate the harm for the Federation. He had to do this for both public and private purposes.

“Alright! Let’s start with the auction. I already know the address. But there’s another problem. What identity do I use to attend it? These nobles are all looking down on me. I have to sneak in and take a look at the situation first.”

Locke quickly got into the mood.

Peter was very satisfied with Locke’s way of thinking. It meant that he was really suitable for this job.

“Did you bring the clothes that His Majesty gave you previously?”

“It’s in my bag. It’s hotter here and it’s suitable to wear that shirt.” Locke patted the backpack beside him.

“Wear it and the brooch that I gave you. That’s a gift from His Majesty. With these two things, very few people in Heavenly City can stop you!”

Locke thought that these two things might be the attire and accessories that represented glory.

It seemed that it was the same everywhere. One had to look at the person’s appearance first.

Looking at Locke’s lazy appearance, Peter revealed a mysterious smile.

“Alright, do you still need something that you don’t understand?”

After shaking his head, Locke stood up, picked up his backpack, and said, “Isn’t it just arresting people to find evidence and causing trouble? It’s very simple…”

“Then I’ll look forward to your performance! His Majesty the King hopes that you can become a pillar of the continent…”
