Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 76 Catherine's Promotion

"Golden Devil?"

Nigtim was sitting in front of the French window of the office, basking in the sun leisurely. When he heard the name from Marcus, he almost thought he had an auditory hallucination: "You are talking about a serial killer who haunts Ionia, That golden goblin?"

"The sheriff has also heard his name?" Marcus was a little surprised. In his eyes, Nigtim was generally associated with synonyms such as 'incapable', and he had no ink and no real ability.

"Of course I've heard of it." Nigtim said with a complicated expression, "If you had been to Zhiyun Province ten years ago and seen his works on the spot, you would never forget him for the rest of your life."

Ten years ago, that is, the time when Marcos traveled back and then five years later, it was exactly one year after Van der and others initiated the conflict between the two cities.

"Since the sheriff has seen it before, he should know how serious the chaos the Golden Demon will cause, right?" Marcus did not expect that the seemingly incompetent sheriff would have had close contact with the case of the Golden Demon.

"Of course I know. Back then, the Kushuo master of the Kinkou sect brought his son Shen and star disciple Jie thought he was a demon, and thus tracked him down for years." Nigtim sighed, "Who would have thought that the criminal How could the existence of such evil deeds be just the administrator of a touring theater troupe? That is just an ordinary person who can create such evil deeds...

All right, why are you suddenly interested in him?If I remember correctly, he should now be imprisoned in the monastery prison in Tuleng by the master of bitterness. "

"He has already escaped." Marcus looked at the peaceful and peaceful Picheng outside the window, and said slowly: "It may not be that he was released by someone... Moreover, I got information that he has come to Picheng. near the city."

Hearing this, Nigtim squinted his eyes, and said after a long time: "It's so comfortable to bask in the sun. I fell asleep just now. In your dream, you told me that the Golden Demon escaped from Tulen Prison. Near Picheng, you say it's ridiculous..."

The expression slowly solidified.

Nigtim showed a terrified expression: "You... you, you, you, what you just said is true?"

"Do I seem like someone who would joke about this kind of thing?" Marcos said deadpan.

Nigtim's current performance is in line with Marcos's view of him all the time. He knows that people who can eat themselves like this should not be much better before.

"It seems that we can't wait until tomorrow." Nigtim suddenly became serious, jumped off the chair, took off the police badge on his chest representing the identity of the sheriff, and handed it to Marcus: "From now on, you will be officially promoted to the rank of leather chief. Chief Sheriff of the City Law Enforcement Bureau, all resources are at your disposal so that you can deal with the upcoming crisis in the Twin Cities."

"..."

Is it so casual?

Marcus looked at the police badge in his hand. Although this thing will be handed over to him tomorrow at the latest, it's too outrageous for Nigtim to hand over positions like a child's play in order to avoid the golden devil, right?

What exactly did you see back then?

To be frightened like this just by hearing the Golden Demon nearby?
"By the way, let me ask one more question."

At the moment when Marcus was stunned, Nigtim had dragged his heavy body to the door of the sheriff's office, and turned around and asked, "Are you sure you can't transport people through the Hexfly Gate? Can you take a risk and try?" All at once, send me and my whole family to another city to avoid the limelight?"

"If you don't want your internal organs to risk turning into jam, I suggest you give up such a dangerous idea." Marcus replied speechlessly.

"It's a pity!" Nigtim was heartbroken when he got this answer. Why didn't you study a Hexfly Gate that could transport people?
"Perhaps after a while, when Jess and Victor perfect the Hexfly Gate, they will be able to transport people." Marcus continued, because he remembered Mel's mother in the original play, Mrs. Myrdalda. Quick access to Piltover via the hexgate.

"How long will it take?" Nigtim looked at Marcos expectantly.

"The shortest is one or two months, the longest is..."

"goodbye!"

Before he finished speaking, Nigtim opened the door of the sheriff's office and strode away.

That walking speed is not what he should have at all, and he runs like a huge rolling ball.

"...Sir."

Hank poked his head in from the door: "Sheriff Nigtim, he..."

"Don't worry about him." Marcus waved his hand, sat at the back of the office, and ordered seriously: "Hank, go help me and call the three deputy sheriffs, Catherine, Logan, and Pan Han, to my office."

"Uh……"

Hank reacted briefly, and immediately understood what Marcus meant, and immediately saluted Li Zheng: "Yes, Sheriff!"

Before turning around and taking two steps, he turned back and said, "Sir, that Deputy Sheriff Catherine is..."

"Catherine Gilaman."

Marcus said: "From today, she is a deputy sheriff."

Why? !

When Hank heard this, the first thought that flashed through his mind was that he was not convinced, just because the other party was the daughter of a member, so after you were promoted to sheriff, you left the vacated deputy sheriff position to her?

But then he changed his mind and thought again, didn't Marcus's actions recognize his status as a confidant?
Only a true confidant will always stay by your side as an assistant. If you let yourself become the deputy sheriff, the two will not contact each other for a long time, and it will only become an ordinary subordinate-subordinate relationship in the end.

However, with Marcos' ability and ambition, the post of Sheriff of the Law Enforcement Bureau may not be his ultimate goal...

Thinking of this, Hank happily went to perform the task.

If the sheriff goes up further, it seems that there is no way to go, but there is an ultimate goal in everyone's mind - Councilor of Piltover!
If Marcos becomes a member of the council, and he goes with him as a confidant, he will be the secretary of the councilor!

Look at Elora next to Senator Mel, she is young and has a detached position, and the people she usually contacts are either business oligarchs or several other councilors!
Hank can almost see a bright future for himself!

……

About half an hour later, the three deputy sheriffs, including Catherine who was on patrol outside, were notified and appeared in the sheriff's room.

Looking at the police badge Marcus wore on his chest, Logan and Pan Han had mixed jealousy and envy in their eyes.

They were jealous that Marcus had become sheriff at a young age, faster than the two veteran deputy sheriffs who were in the same period as Grayson.

But they also knew in their hearts that Marcos' achievements were beyond their reach in half their lives, so they could only envy them while being jealous, but they didn't feel much dissatisfaction.

only……

Looking at Catherine, who was in the same room with them and still wearing a patrol uniform, the two veteran deputy sheriffs were a little unhappy.

They also have assistants with similar student relations. When they knew that Marcos was about to be promoted to the position of sheriff, they planned to use their connections to promote their assistants.

Unexpectedly, Marcos parachuted a patrol policeman without their backs.

Due to Catherine's status, they didn't show their dissatisfaction openly, they just waited to show Catherine some color in their work in the future.

Immediately afterwards, what Marcos said let the two veterans know, and an opportunity to embarrass Catherine came.

"I got the news that the Golden Demon that ravaged the Zhiyun Province of Ionia a few years ago has fled to the vicinity of Picheng. I want to choose one of the three deputy sheriffs to take full charge of this matter, and try to get the Golden Demon Apprehend him as soon as possible!"
