Chapter 361 Corruption

"On the first day of its release, Backlund alone took in 3,000 pounds at the box office!"

"The male lead, Mr. Jack Parson, and the female lead, Miss Parland Doin, both became popular, and countless fans wanted to get their autographs but couldn't get them."

"There are rumors that Miss Doyen once worked as a call girl. Blaine Film and Television Company denies it and proposes to pursue the legal responsibility of the rumor mongering company."

"The legal team of Blaine Film and Television Company sued multiple film and television companies for infringement."

Abner spread jam on a piece of bread while reading the news in the newspaper - although he didn't like eating it like this.

At this time, Xio also walked downstairs with sleepy eyes. After entering the restaurant, he sat directly next to Abner, put the piece of bread with jam in his mouth and started chewing it.

Well, the sweetness is just right... Xio narrowed her eyes with satisfaction, then picked up the milk prepared next to her and took a sip.

"Is there any mission for the military to wake up so early?" Abner asked with a smile.

Xio knew that he rarely used his "insight" ability on familiar people, so it wasn't surprising, but he looked a little weird and said: "Because I successfully promoted to demigod, the morning was the conferment ceremony, and in the afternoon... it was playing cards. .”

"Playing cards?" Abner was a little surprised at first, then thought of something and asked with a smile, "Are you looking for a bad guy to give you money?"

"That's right!" Xio nodded, "This can be considered a military tradition. Every senior officer has such an 'entertainment' activity before taking up his new post."

I hope that "taken advantage of" is not an acquaintance... Abner complained silently after hearing this, and then put the bacon he had on hand into his mouth - he has always been a meat eater.

…

In the bedroom of 160 Burklund Street, North District.

Klein, who had just sold those ships yesterday and received a large sum of money, fell asleep and woke up naturally. He felt relaxed, calm, and a sense of joy slowly growing.

After feeling his mental state, Klein suddenly stood up and opened the curtains.

He leisurely admired the scenery outside and the golden sun, feeling full of energy and making plans for the next few months or even a year:

"First, find a semi-god-level marionette to improve your own combat power... Although Ludwell and Enuni are both very good, and after reaching the 'Cunning Mage', they can already use my abilities... but The methods are still not diverse enough.

"Second, create weird legends in various places. Once the director comes up with a scary incident, he will find someone to spread it to speed up the digestion of the potion;

"Third, try to save up 500,000 gold pounds and buy the 'Flocculated Heart of the Demonic Wolf of the Mist' from Mr. Tower... As for the 'Eyes of Fulgrim's Dog', I can handle it myself here;

"Fourth, continue to investigate the Backlund smog incident and the human trafficking incident, find key evidence and hand it over to the church to prevent 'George III' from becoming a god. There are two breakthroughs, one is the 'Psychological Alchemy Society' 'Arrogant', but his strength is too powerful, far more than that of ordinary saints, and there are angels behind him who can support him at any time. Even Mr. 'Tower' is not willing to take action rashly, so it is best to consider the long term...

"The other breakthrough is the military's Major General Qonas Kilger. I have to find a way to get close to him, become friends with him, and then start my plot."

After sorting out some of the ideas that he had considered before, Klein's thoughts became clearer little by little. Although he still had worries and fears in his heart, he glanced at Sharon, who had already stood up and sat in front of the dressing table. I feel very motivated again.

Withdrawing his gaze from Sharon, Klein stepped into the bathroom to deal with personal hygiene issues.

Soon, he opened the door refreshed and saw the housekeeper Asnia waiting outside.

The gentleman wore white gloves and saluted respectfully:

"Good morning, sir, you have only one plan today, and that is to go to the Veterans Officers Club with Congressman Macht at three o'clock in the afternoon.

"He is a member of the New Party. Accepting his invitation means that you have initially expressed your political leanings. You still have the opportunity to hesitate."

Mr. Asnia, a Conservative supporter, couldn't resist a reminder.

Klein thought for a moment and said:

"No, this is my choice."

He paused and said in the tone of a consultant:

"I'm visiting the Veterans Officers Club for the first time today. What should I pay attention to?"

"Bring enough money, 500 pounds is a more appropriate amount." The butler provided his own opinion.

500 pounds... Really, no matter which circle you want to enter, you have to spend a lot of money... Hey, this is also because Dawn Dantès has no background and no background. Although his wife is in the middle of the church, she does not have many connections. Money can clear the way... Klein nodded gently and agreed with the butler's suggestion.

After enjoying breakfast, Klein returned to the bedroom and changed Sharon's hairstyle while waiting for the arrival of Senator Macht.

The congressman didn't know that Klein was planning to cause an accident and tactfully declined tomorrow's dance, so he introduced him very hard.

…

In the afternoon, outside a very distinctive building in Hillston District.

Dwayne Dantès and Congressman Macht stepped out of the carriage respectively and entered the foyer together.

After the latter enthusiastically introduced an officer named Calvin to Klein, he immediately arranged a task for him.

"You need to play cards with a big shot, Texas." Calvin pointed to the second floor.

Russell is also a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and he found a strange reason to continue to name this poker game Texas.

"Which big shot?" Klein asked with interest.

Calvin's expression became a little more serious, and he said with a less obvious smile:

"Lieutenant General Hugh Dilcha, she is a confidant of Her Royal Highness Princess Vera. She was just promoted to the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau today, ranking sixth... You must know that this ranking is very high, and he is a real big shot."

Klein's face almost became tense, but fortunately the "Joker's" ability was powerful enough to prevent the corners of his mouth from twitching on the spot.

"In other words, our future cooperation will be under the supervision of this lieutenant general?" Klein asked as if he was suddenly enlightened.

He joined this club ostensibly to make money by smuggling arms. If the intelligence agency didn't give the nod, it would be difficult for him to succeed.

"That's right." Colonel Calvin nodded and pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor, "Let's go up."

Arriving at the second floor and stopping in front of a pair of dark red doors, Calvin turned his head and glanced at Dwayne Dantès:

"Your mission today is to lose money."

Lose money? Klein looked at Calvin up and down, then the corners of his mouth turned up a little and said:

"I only brought 500 pounds in cash. Isn't that enough?"

"It's definitely not enough." Colonel Calvin chuckled, "I've exchanged 1,000 pounds for you in chips. Just remember to pay it back when you come over."

Loen's senior barristers, on the surface, only earn about 1,000 pounds a year... You corrupt people...

I just don’t know if Mr. “Tower” will reimburse me for the money I lost to Miss “Judgement”?

After laughing at himself a few times, Klein followed Calvin to a hall covered with thick soft carpets, and immediately saw Miss Hugh Dilcha sitting at the head of the table.

——In order to highlight the newly promoted lieutenant general, her chair has a heightened design...but Xio is not happy with this design.

Xio also saw Dwayne Dantès walking in at this time, but she was not surprised. Apparently she knew early on that today's "taken advantage of" was Mr. Fool's "public" favorite.

After his eyes stopped on Xio for a moment, Klein's eyes swept to another "acquaintance" next to him:

He has thick but not messy black eyebrows, short and stiff hair of the same color, dark blue to almost black eyes, a nose as high as a mountain peak, a large beard extending around his mouth, a deep outline, a long face, and cold lines. Very tough guy flavor.

This is the deputy director of MI9, Qonas Kilger, and the biggest reason why he joined the officers' club, besides making money.

…

At night, after listening to Xio's joke about three demigods secretly cheating at the card table, Abner took the "body" he made and teleported to Cabas on the border of Winter County and East Chester County. town, and soon escaped into the deepest dream with the help of the black gem embedded in his chest by the goddess.
