Magic Underachiever

While Editor-in-Chief Da Liang, Brown, and Garcia were discussing how to report on the admissions of Pier Magic Academy in the office, Miss Anne was sitting in the editorial lobby of City Daily.

The desks of daily editors are arranged in an orderly manner in the open hall. Each table is filled with various books and manuscripts. In the middle of the table is a keyboard-type mechanical typewriter. The entire hall exudes the fragrance of ink.

Originally, at this time, the sound of the typewriter should have filled the entire editing hall. Reporters and editors were writing furiously, and interns were shuttled back and forth to deliver documents one by one to where they should be sent. On the drinking table in the corner, there will be a few people drinking coffee while discussing what news is happening in Saroyan City.

The city daily newspaper that Saroyan citizens will see tomorrow will be born here.

But at this moment, all the City Daily employees in the editing hall were squatting in their seats with their heads in their hands, looking at the "cockroaches" around them in horror.

Agents of the Special Security Bureau have taken control of the City Daily. They are very professionally scattered throughout the newspaper office. All the doors of all rooms are opened, work is stopped immediately, and everyone is ordered to squat on the ground and put their hands on their heads. Don't touch anything. Every member of the Special Security Bureau is a magician. They wear uniform dark gray trench coats and felt hats, hold magic wands in their hands, and openly wear the armbands of the Security Bureau on their arms.

Cold eyes stared at everyone here.

At this time, the police who received the call had arrived outside the door of City Daily, but they were facing the Special Security Bureau. Ordinary police forces were not at the same level as these strictly trained killers. Especially when the police heard that the special security bureau had occupied the city daily office and that the deputy director of the security bureau personally led the team, they did not dare to force their way into the newspaper office.

The police chief came, officials from the city hall, and then a member of Parliament.

The newspaper is the mouthpiece of the Marcellus Parliament to control public opinion. Once something goes wrong here, there will be major omissions in the Parliament's next action plan. If they cannot handle the crisis at City Daily, it will put other newspapers in danger. Once they feel that the Parliament cannot protect them, their pens will not be so sharp.

The Special Security Service must be driven out of City Daily.

Congressman George, who was responsible for liaising with newspapers and controlling public opinion, was sent over by the parliament. He was very confused as to why the Special Security Bureau had taken over the place just after he met Editor-in-Chief Garcia. Could it be that the news was leaked... But it was impossible for the Security Bureau to respond so quickly. As soon as I returned to the parliament building, I received an order from the speaker without even entering the office...

Editor-in-chief Garcia's office was bugged by security agents?

Or did Garcia betray him?

Congressman George stepped out of the carriage. He was wearing a black top hat, holding a cane in his hand, and a gold chain connected to a pocket watch was exposed on his chest. After he came down, he did not immediately walk into the newspaper office. Instead, he stood there for a moment and looked at the environment outside the newspaper office.

About 200 police officers gathered outside the main entrance of the newspaper office. They used vehicles to form a bunker and aimed pistols and mounted rifles at the inside of the newspaper office. The door of the newspaper office is closed, and you can vaguely see the "cockroaches" hiding behind the door. Occasionally, some light flickers inside, indicating that the "cockroaches" are using magic to strengthen their defenses or preparing to attack.

No Imperial troops in sight...

It seems that this is a private operation by the Special Security Bureau. However, the chief and deputy directors of the Security Bureau are here, and it can be seen how seriously they take this incident.

Seeing Congressman George arrive, a police detective in plainclothes greeted him: "Hello Congressman George, I am Detective Brooke... Our Chief Leonard and Miss Evelyn from the Mayor's Office have already gone in."

Congressman George walked towards the door of the newspaper office and asked the detective: "Is there any news coming out inside?"

"Not yet... The other party is Anne Whitehead, the eldest daughter of Marquis Whitehead. Her identity makes us very embarrassed. After all, there is an empire above us..."

Congressman George had already reached the door of the newspaper office. He said sternly to the detective: "Knowing that Miss Anne is inside, you dare to point a gun at the newspaper office... The Special Security Bureau must have occupied the City Daily office because there are people involved inside. A major security incident for the empire and province has occurred. What trouble are you making here?

Put away the guns, deploy more people to blockade the entire street, and be ready to cooperate with the Special Security Bureau to arrest key criminals. "

"Huh?" The detective obviously didn't understand what Congressman George meant.

Congressman George reprimanded: "The Special Security Bureau sent out so many people to arrest important criminals, what help can you police officers do? You are all concentrated in the front, and a magic blow will blow you all away."

Go quickly and bring in more people... especially magic detectives.

waste! "

Congressman George hinted to the detective to increase the number of troops. After the detective hurriedly directed the police to reorganize their positions, he opened the door and walked into the newspaper office.

The special security agents inside did not stop him and took him into the editing hall to meet Miss Anne.

Chief Leonard, the chief of the Saroyan police station, and Miss Evelyn, an official from the city hall, are both here. Their faces are strange, and they all look like they can't laugh or cry.

"Miss Anne, give my regards to the Marquis." Councillor George took off his hat and saluted Anne. After seeing that there were no casualties in the newspaper, he continued: "According to the Treaty of Marseilles, the province of Marseilles has independent administrative and judicial powers. The Special Security Bureau is affiliated with the Empire and is a military unit... Its duty is to assist the Imperial garrison in providing military protection for the province of Marseilles.

I don't know where the City Daily Newspaper has endangered the security of the Empire and the province, and it is necessary for the Special Security Bureau to dispatch so many people to occupy this place, especially... it also alarmed the honorable Miss Anne."

Anne still has the airs of a noble lady. She sits at the door of the editor-in-chief's office, trimming her nails with a nail clipper, and standing next to her is the arrogant Deputy Director Camille.

Facing Congressman George, Anne did not even raise her head, and continued to carefully polish the tip of her nails with a small file, saying lightly: "My father told me when he came... Saroyang is very dangerous, and told me not to worry about anything. Do what I want to do. If the Special Security Bureau is under pressure from above, let me help to resist.

Deputy Director Camille did a very good job. He killed the evil cultists and demons that you couldn't solve... My life in Saroyang is really like a vacation.

I can also date my fiancé Brown Jennings and enjoy sweet love.

I think I have been very worry-free and have not caused you... your parliament much trouble. But today... City Daily Editor-in-Chief Garcia, he dared to contradict my fiancé Brown Jennings. The reason is just because my fiancé wanted City Daily to interview the Pier Magic Academy where he works.

Brown Jennings is an honest man, a magic professor. Of course he can't argue with... the editor-in-chief of City Daily who is very good at scolding people.

So I came.

I don't plan to bully anyone. I won't participate in their arguments. I will wait outside the door until they decide the winner... Then I will leave."
