325 Eloquence
Seeing the reaction of the guests, Luis realized that he made a blunder. So he bowed to the group and apologize. “I’m sorry for my lack of sensitivity.” As he said this, he scratched his head awkwardly, feeling embarrassed in his heart.
‘What a damn mistake.’ Luis felt that he want to slap his mouth right for being too loud.
‘Fortunately, I quickly covered my ears.’ Anthony felt thankful that he had turned observation into his hobby at this moment. ‘But this damn police chief lacks a bit of decorum.’
Although he knew that the police chief did that to call his subordinates, he could walk to the door and let the other police officers call them right? There’s no need to fucking shout.
Gregory just forced a smile this time. His eyebrows twitched, which led to his expression becoming unnatural, and his smile looked face. “It’s okay, everyone makes mistakes.”
‘Well, the captain really lacks acting skills.’ Fein felt embarrassed for his captain right now. ‘Should I teach him a thing or two?’ ‘
Michael has a wary smile on his face. His eyesight looked a bit blurry, and he felt lightheaded from Luis’s loud voice just now, which kept his ears ringing even after thirty-eight seconds passed.
‘I messed up my well-made first impression.’
Luis thought in his heart. He became used to calling his subordinates in this way. It was because he was too lazy to stand up in his seat. It’s also the reason why his voice became louder as time passed. Shouting is one of his skills that wasn’t particularly useful.
.....
THUD!
Just as the atmosphere in the room turn awkward, the metal door behind Fein was pushed open. Jonel and John Paul walked through it unhurriedly. When they saw their captain and four unfamiliar figures, they stopped at the door and stood silent, waiting for the police chief’s instruction.
‘Finally! These two bastards are here!’ With this, he could make up for the mistake he made earlier. This is the first time he felt that Jonel and John Paul’s faces look pleasing. After all, they are his lifesaver this time.
“Cough!” Luis cleared his throat, turned his head at John Paul and Jonel with a stern face, and said in a commanding tone. “Since the two of us are there. Let me introduce our guests.” He paused for a second to let his two subordinates process what he said.
Seeing that, their eyes fixed on him, and their ears perked up. He nodded with a satisfied expression. He couldn’t help but gave these two subordinates of him thumbs up in his heart for their performance.
Then he looked at Gregory, Fein, and Anthony and turned back his gaze to Jonel and John Paul. “They came from Ranger’s Eye. An official organization that investigates and manages things related to the mysterious side of at least eleven cities in our country. All of them are degu users, and they are here for the results of your investigation. And they are responsible for hunting the monster who killed three hundred people last night.”
Luis stopped for a while to take a breath. Then he opened his mouth again and continued. “Their mission is also tied to the interest of our police station. If the monster continued to run amok. Our branch would suffer public criticism and it might upset the higher-ups. So do your best to assist them.’
He deliberately deepened his voice at his last word to emphasize that they have to do their best to satisfy Gregory and his team. Then he gave John Paul and Jonel a meaningful look.
Jonel and John Paul walked closer to where Gregory and Fein were. Then they gave out a polite smile and began to introduce themselves. “We are the ones that investigated this case. We would try to help you to the best of our abilities.”
The two said in unison. They knew that if they did a good job here, the police chief might give them a bonus.
“Please take care of us.” Michael bowed at the two politely.
“So, how do we start?” Gregory looked at Jonel and John Paul. He wants to start immediately since time is precious. Every second that passed, the monster could harm anyone at any time as long as it wasn’t caught.
“Well... We will go to the room where we put the corpses of the victims. You just need to follow us.” Jonel said unhurriedly.
Hearing this, Fein couldn’t help but frown. He stared at John Paul’s and Jonel’s eyes directly and asks. “Why did you put their bodies in the room? How about their family? Shouldn’t you bury them?”
Seeing that, the guest was about to become dissatisfied. John Paul immediately tried his best to explain. “Among the victims, ten of them were homeless. Meaning, they didn’t have a family to take care of their bodies. So the head of the investigation department decided to store their bodies in a room to help with the progress of the investigation. The head merely assigned us.”
“I know your concern. But there’s really no problem since we would bury them as soon as this incident ends. The police stations would personally manage their burial.” Jonel said softly.
Seeing the eloquence displayed by his two subordinates, Luis unconsciously has his mouth wide open. He didn’t expect the two unknown police officers in front of him to possess such a good mouth.
Fein let out a smile and said. “That’s good then.”
In his country, in his past life. Burial is sacred. The deceased people have to be buried in respect. And they also do it for the spirit to achieve peace.
“Well, you can take the lead. We will just follow.” Gregory suddenly spoke.
“It seems you don’t need me here anymore...” Luis, the police chief, smiled. “I hope the information we have could help you and I wished for your operations to be successful.”
“Thank you for your cooperation. We appreciate every help we can get.” Michael said in return.
‘This conversation is too fake.’ Anthony felt like vomiting at the current moment since he felt that everyone in the room wasn’t sincere except for Michael.
