Volume 1: Raging Waves City Chapter 100: Mrs. Michelle's Commission
Luke began to consider Mrs. Michelle's suggestion seriously.
Viscount Iscolan had the entire Blade Brotherhood behind him, so it would be difficult for Qingkong to get entangled with them alone. And since his original body had already established this connection, Qingkong didn't need to do such useless work.
Mrs. Michelle's status in the City of Raging Waves comes more from her influence in the city's socialite circle. Pillow talk may or may not work in making decisions on some things, as there is too much uncertainty.
Her father was from the old aristocracy and could not be of much help in Nutao City; her husband was neither in business nor in politics, but was a pure scientific researcher and could not provide her with much substantial help either.
Now Nutao City was faced with internal and external troubles due to his fierce operations, and all kinds of contradictions emerged at once.
With Madame Michelle's political acumen, it would be strange if she didn't sense the danger.
Without real power and without foundation...if you don't want to become a spectator or victim of this impending chaos, you must take the initiative to do something.
Luke responded, "If you want me to keep you safe, I'm afraid I can't. I'm actually collecting some stuff, so I'm going to make my case as the best option."
Mrs. Michelle was very encouraged by the Elf Qingkong's positive answer.
"In the current Raging Waves City, I can still guarantee my safety. Of course... facing you just now, I took a risk, but it also proved that the risk I took brought me proportional gains.
I just want to establish an equal cooperative relationship with you. You have absolute freedom to choose what I entrust you to do.
I will do my best to complete ."
Luke thought this equal cooperation was good.
Madam Michelle had a complete channel for purchasing mysterious items. Since it was not suitable for him to leave Raging Waves City, entrusting Madam Michelle to collect some rare mysterious items was a solution.
And her husband also runs a world-class alchemical steam machinery research institute...
Luke was very envious of Shelly's Thunder BU953.
"Sure. Having a member of the Raging Waves City Council as a partner will definitely provide great convenience for my activities here." Luke held up a cup of tea and agreed to Michelle's proposal for cooperation.
Michelle and Luke clinked their glasses gently: "Cooperating with a strong man like you may be the best decision I have ever made in my life."
"It's a nice compliment, but I hope you don't really think that way. In my opinion, resigning from the position of a senator and being a qualified wife is the best decision for you."
Michelle looked at the elf in front of him, shook his head and said with a smile: "Talking to you always makes me waver in what I have always insisted on. It is indeed the most correct decision to retreat from the peak of this tide, but I can't do it!
I am no longer the little girl who first came to Raging Waves City. As I just said... in this city, people's desires will be magnified.
Let’s not talk about that anymore. Can you tell me about my first commission?”
"Sure, I don't have anything urgent to deal with recently."
“You should have seen the city-wide march that took place during the day. It seemed to be a spontaneous demonstration by citizens because of the collapse of the Raging Tower, but there are signs that someone is pushing it behind the scenes.
The organizer was the newly appointed Inspector Meteor of the Cape District Secret Service, and he seemed to have reached a cooperation agreement with Councillor Ibr. In addition, there was intelligence that the Inspector Meteor had a brief meeting with Viscount Iscolan.
In such a short time, the detective of the Secret Service of Cape District would probably still be worried about the expense bills. The complicated relationships among various parties in Cape District were enough for him to spend a year to figure out.
However, this inspector not only established himself in the Cape District, but was also able to organize such a large-scale demonstration that both Ibul and Isklan put aside their status and took the initiative to contact him.
He is definitely a very powerful person, but it is difficult for the parliament to conduct a comprehensive investigation on him for various reasons. If you have time, can you help me conduct an investigation on him? "
Luke didn't expect that the commission Mrs. Michelle gave him would be this!
“Why me?”
"Because you have a strong ability to hide. The whole city of Nutao City has been searching for so many days, but no trace of you has been found. The discovery of you was either accidental or you deliberately exposed yourself. I believe you are absolutely capable of tracking the meteorite without being discovered by him...
Even if you are discovered, you will be able to escape unscathed."
"Is this a private commission? Or a commission from Parliament?"
Mrs. Michelle said very clearly: "This is a private commission and has nothing to do with the parliament. I must find out what the Princess Royal's intention is in sending Meteor to Raging Waves City, and what is he conspiring with Ibel and Iscolan?"
Luke knew very well that Mrs. Michelle was wavering in her stance on Raging Waves City, and could be described as being very skilled in maneuvering.
In the correct course of the game, Viscount Iscolan will eventually enter Parliament, with Madame Michel playing an important role in the process.
Later, Mrs. Michelle got what she wanted. Relying on the balance of power between the new and old nobles, she became the Speaker of the Raging Waves City Council.
But playing with power without a foundation is like walking a tightrope between cliffs, and Mrs. Michel was eventually bitten back by power.
The ending is quite tragic.
This is also the reason why Luke persuaded Michelle to quit while she was ahead.
But Michelle obviously didn't want to listen.
Since Michelle insisted on playing this game, Luke took on the commission.
How should I quote for such a simple task?
"Okay, I'll give it a try. The mysterious item I bought today..."
“It’s free!”
“I want a means of transportation.”
"I'll ask my husband to design and build a steam locomotive for you."
Wow!
A steam locomotive designed and built by Wagner Michel himself !
If this were in the game, I wonder how many players would be envious.
This was definitely enough compensation for this mission of spying on himself, but Luke felt he could be a little bolder.
"Can I give the performance data and steam locomotive style I expect and let Master Michel design it?"
Mrs. Michel answered confidently, "No problem! My husband and his team are world-class in alchemical steam machinery technology. And they have some very deep cooperation with the Oulu Institute, which guarantees that they can manufacture a steam locomotive that will satisfy Miss Qingkong."
"I am very much looking forward to the cooperation!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
