After watching Klein enter the civilian office nearby, Angel also returned to the reception hall.

Rozanne just finished boiling water and making coffee. When he saw Angel sitting down on the sofa, he came over with two cups of coffee and sat down next to her with a smile.

"Angel, you and Klein just went to the captain's office. What happened?"

Rozanne handed over a cup of coffee as Bribe, with his eyes burning with the soul of gossip, he deliberately lowered his voice and asked.

"If it involves secrets that I can't touch, there's no need to tell them."

She added quickly.

Angel thought about it and realized that the special application was not a secret. When the examiners arrived, it would definitely make the whole Tingen Team public knowledge. The promotion of the two people could not be hidden from these civilian personnel, so they did not hide it.

"What? Klein took Potion after joining Nighthawks and became Beyonder, right... Why will he be promoted in less than two months? And even you..."

As Angel expected, Rozanne was so surprised when he heard the news that he almost stopped holding his coffee.

"He summed up a set of methods to quickly master the power of Potion, which he learned from Ms. Daly." Taking the coffee cup from the hurried Rozanne and placing it on the coffee table, Angel continued, "I became Beyonder a little earlier than him, and it's time for promotion now."

"Even so, it's too fast..."

Rozanne accepted Angel's remarks, but was still a little shocked.

"You must know that Old Neil has become Beyonder, Sequence 9's 'Mystery Pryer' for so many years, but he has never been promoted. There are Frye and the others... only Leonard, he seems to have some of his own experience, compared to others..."

She murmured to herself. After speaking, she suddenly realized that her words were a little rude to the other team members, and she swallowed the last few words back in her stomach.

Angel was planning to lay out the purpose of "Acting Method" in order to reveal it to others later. Seeing that Rozanne was so "cooperative", he continued what she said:

"They may be missing some key insights, um, or 'enlightenment'. After we submit the special report, we can just talk to other people, and it may be helpful to them."

"Definitely!" Rozanne also said excitedly, "Kenley has become Beyonder not long ago, maybe he can be promoted as quickly as you. Unfortunately, Old Neil... he is about to retire, and his physical condition has been a little bad recently..."

At the end, she sighed.

When Beyonder takes Potion and is promoted, it not only depends on the degree of digestion of Potion, but also has high requirements on physical and mental stability. When you reach a certain age, even if you know that Acting Method can completely digest Potion, you should not risk promotion...

Angel also silently felt sorry for Old Neil, but she quickly recovered and discussed with Rozanne the news in the newspapers and the rumors in the streets.

"Did you hear that? The former deputy mayor Harry, who replaced the previously resigned mayor Dennis, stepped down due to a bribery scandal. He was originally acting as a substitute, and now Tingen City is completely left alone..."

Rozanne talked about the news on "Tingen Daily" a few days ago. It was reported that due to the impact of this incident, Tingen City Mayor Election originally scheduled for next year will be moved forward to October this year, and acting mayor Harry will no longer be able to run for office due to this scandal, which has led to many hopeless candidates starting to prepare.

Recently, newspapers have appeared a lot of customized news that can be easily seen as election advertisements, taking up a lot of space for normal news.

For example, this is what Rozanne is thinking of:

"Councilor Maynard, who is also New Party's biggest supporter in Tingen City, has announced that he will run in the October mayoral election. He spearheaded the Street Park renovation of North Borough Moon Street and will give a speech when the new park is completed."

"It's said to be a renovation, but the original park was already good. Now they've made it full of mud and gravel. When it rains, sewage flows across the park, and you have to bring mud all over it when you pass by."

Putting down "Tingen City Honest People's Newspaper", Rozanne complained with his mouth bulging.

"Indeed, the section from Red Moon Street to Zouteland Street has been impossible to walk in the past half month. I haven't gone there for a long time, and even the number of times I go to Saint Selena Cathedral for worship has decreased."

The somewhat frivolous words of Leonard came from behind Angel. This "Midnight Poet" had just finished Chanis Gate's night shift, but he had not gone home to rest at this time. Instead, he came to the reception hall at some point and interrupted the two ladies' chat.

"Then you are a true believer."

Angel commented unceremoniously that if Nighthawks people wanted to go to the church, they could take the underground passage, but he gave up because Street Park was renovating and the road was not easy to walk on?

"Goddess testifies to my piety, which does not depend on the number of prayers, but on real actions."

Leonard shamelessly drew Crimson Moon on his chest, then walked around the sofa to the other side of the coffee table, sat down and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Hey - where is Klein? I just heard your voices in the lounge." asked "Midnight Poet" who drank half a cup of coffee and opened his mouth to inhale because he was burned.

"I'm writing a special application. He and I are ready to be promoted to Sequence 8."

Angel replied.

"What... cough, cough..."

Leonard choked on his coffee, coughed violently several times, and took a few deep breaths before he calmed down.

"It was digested so quickly..."

He blurted out, his green eyes widened immediately, and he retracted the second half of his sentence.

"Hmm, digestion is complete."

With a smile on her lips, Angel looked at "Midnight Poet" who had spilled the beans, and the latter looked back at her pretending to be innocent.

I heard that this Nighthawks became "Sleepless" and was promoted to Sequence 8 two years later. He was just stuck in the years that did not require special application. In addition, he had been "open and honest" with himself and Klein. Angel once suspected that he was also familiar with "Acting Method" and was just pretending to be promoted slowly to avoid being suspected by the church.

Speaking the word "digest" intentionally or unintentionally at this moment made her confirm this point.

When the two of them stared at Rozanne in confusion, Klein walked out from behind the partition with a two-page application. Seeing that Leonard was there, he nodded politely and said hello, and then handed over the special application belonging to Angel.

"See if it needs to be modified. If there is no problem, I will hand it over to the captain."

Angel took the application and quickly reviewed it, and found that Klein had followed their previous agreement and attributed the accidental discovery of Acting Method to the deeds of Ms. Daly. The two then communicated with each other, verified the effectiveness of the method, and had recently mastered Potion, preparing for promotion.

Well, it's well detailed, without revealing anything that shouldn't be revealed, and there's still some literary talent in it... It's much better than that "Midnight Poet" who can only copy poems, but he may have copied it for the sake of acting, so I can't blame him...

After complaining to Leonard, Angel returned the special application to Klein.

"That's it, I'll go with you to the captain to submit the application."

Looking at the backs of the two people, the smile on Leonard's face quickly faded. He stood up and came to the window, avoiding Rozanne's eyes, as if he was watching the street scene in the distance.

"... They are so eager to be promoted, should I also..."

He murmured, his ears swaying as if listening.
