"S-Sir..." Shelly didn't dare to sit down in front of Luke. She asked respectfully, "Your relationship with the Eldest Princess..."
Luke said seriously, "That's right, it's just as you imagined. However, my relationship with Agatha is very private and I didn't intend to let you know.
"But... it seemed like if I didn't say anything, I would be killed by you.
"I've long heard that Wild Waves City's Cape District Branch has a special style of doing things. Today, I've experienced it... Really, seeing is believing!"
Shelly quickly asked Pisco to move the corpses away.
Then, she apologized respectfully, "I'm sorry, Sir. I apologize for our offense."
"Actually, you only need to show us your appointment letter and we will know that you are our inspector. There's no need... to let us see this private, magical video."
Luke knew that Shelly still wanted to see the appointment letter.
And he really couldn't take it out.
Luke searched through his memories and found a mission flow for The New Age in his consciousness.
The real inspector from the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau Branch would arrive tomorrow.
"Since you know about my relationship with the Eldest Princess, you should know that I came here with the identity to shoulder the secret mission of Her Highness, the Eldest Princess.
"For safety reasons, my appointment letter and I will arrive separately.
"And the person who carried the appointment letter didn't know of my existence. He was told that he had been appointed as the inspector of the Cape District's Secret Intelligence Bureau Branch."
"Why?"
Shelly was a little confused.
Luke found the photo of the appointment letter on his phone and said to Shelly in a commanding tone, "This was specially arranged by the Eldest Princess for my safety! At the same time, it was to make a person with a sensitive identity disappear. The details are not something you can ask at your level. The serial number of the appointment letter is OEOFT3694457. Secret message: Fox, Turtle, Carp, Yellow Flag, Foil Stone, Square Table; My code name is Meteor.
"After confirming the information, kill the person and give me everything he brought.
"Do you understand?"
"Kill?"
Luke said to Shelly, who had a worried expression on her face, "Any questions? Are you doubting me or the Eldest Princess?"
"I dare not, I dare not... I don't dare."
Now, Shelly basically believed in Luke's identity. After all, the person who could shoot that kind of magic video definitely had a very, very close relationship with the Eldest Princess.
Someone who was so close to the Eldest Princess was sent to the Cape District of Wild Waves City, he must be carrying an extremely important mission.
It was indeed a safe way for the person and the letter of appointment to arrive separately.
After all... the battle in the royal family was already gradually turning intense.
Anyway, when the "inspector" arrived, he just had to compare the information in the appointment letter.
Everything would be revealed.
Luke stood up and stretched his numb limbs.
"I'm sleepy. Please arrange a place for me to stay."
Shelly said, "Inspector... It's already late at night outside, and the night in the Cape District is not safe. If you don't mind, you can stay at my house for a night.
"Let's go to the branch together tomorrow. Your subordinates are looking forward to your appointment."
Luke thought about it.
He was currently powerless. If he stayed in a hotel in the Cape District alone, it was unknown whether he would be able to see the sun the next day.
It was good to stay at Shelly's house. He would have a free bodyguard, and he would be able to sleep soundly.
He would also have the energy to study the changes in the phone that were charging in his consciousness.
As for whether Shelly invited him to her house because she was really worried about his safety or because of something else...
There was no need to think about it.
In any case, Princess Agatha was now his amulet. Shelly couldn't go to the capital to confirm with Agatha.
Was she, a criminal who was still serving her sentence, allowed to ask about the royal family?
As for whether he would be exposed in the future?
Princess Royal Agatha was very strict with the Secret Intelligence Bureau. In order to prevent others from mixing sand with the Secret Intelligence Bureau, she personally selected and appointed officials above the Secret Intelligence Bureau branch.
They didn't use their real names and used code names instead.
In other words, as long as he did not confront Agatha face to face, no one will be able to prove that he was a fake inspector.
In short, he had to save his life first, then escape or stay, and then act according to the situation.
Luke replied, "I'm going to your house."
Shelly let Pisco continue to deal with the corpses and bloodstains in the interrogation room before leaving with Luke.
It was already late at night outside.
The smooth stone road reflected the dim light of the street lamps. On both sides of the road were small buildings with sharp roofs.
The walls were covered in moss because they had not been repaired. Some places even had mushrooms growing.
The air was filled with the stench of sewers and the smell of the sea breeze.
A few crows on the telephone pole nearby were frightened and flew away.
There seemed to be a scream coming from the urban area in the distance.
At the other end of the road, a drunkard was walking unsteadily with a bottle of wine.
Shelly pushed out a steam-powered motorcycle.
She rode in front and said to Luke, "Inspector, it's so late. Why don't I give you a ride?"
Luke's eyes lit up when he saw the steam motorcycle.
He walked around the rough motorcycle and praised, "Thunderbolt BU953, manufactured by the Empire's Goebel Steam Heavy Industries. It has won 15 steam engineering design awards.
"Unfortunately, after the Thunderbolt BU953, the famous Goebel Steam Heavy Industries shifted its focus to military machinery.
"The Thunderbolt BU953 had become a swan song, and the number was decreasing because of the lack of repair parts.
"It's really rare for your car to be so well-maintained.
"It's very rare!"
Luke was sincerely impressed by the motorcycle in front of him.
In The New Age, the steam alchemical machines created countless works of art that amazed the players.
Thunderbolt BU953 was one of them.
Moreover, because of the uniqueness of the item, the fewer the Thunderbolt BU953s, the more collectible they were.
Shelly's Thunderbolt BU953 had players who offered a sky-high price to buy it from her, but they were all rejected.
Even if they maxed out their favorability with Shelly, they wouldn't be able to take the motorcycle away from her.
It was obvious how much Shelly loved this Thunderbolt BU953.
Shelly was riding on the motorcycle. Because the motorcycle was too big, her upper body had to lean forward a lot to be able to hold it with both hands. This way, her back showed a beautiful arc, and her hips were even more rounded.
With her figure and skin, it was hard to imagine that she was an old auntie in her forties.
However, as a human who possessed the bloodline of a supernatural creature, this age could be said to be in the prime of her life.
Shelly, who had been praised for her love of motorcycles, smiled and said to Luke, "Inspector, you're really knowledgeable. Hurry up and get on. We can return early and rest early."
"Alright!"
Luke straddled the seat behind Shelly.
Shelley started the motorcycle's steam turbine, and the powerful power pushed the motorcycle forward.
Luke, who was sitting unsteadily, motioned forward and hugged Shelly's waist.
As expected of a Thunderbolt BU953, the speed was so fast! It was too exciting!
