Paris's Commission

After saying goodbye to the Nightless Sky Huo Le, Lin Yu was dropped off by the driver at the main entrance of the Truth Tower.

Paris returned to the building as Sherlock, this time already waiting at the entrance with Stiller.

Lin Yu was somewhat surprised to see President Paris had just been electrocuted and looked like a piece of fresh braised meat, now standing calmly at the entrance of the Truth Tower.

It seems that the transformation surgery this President underwent was not limited to the basic "basic Emotion Control" type.

Lin Yu's understanding of President Paris was not solely based on his time with Nightless Sky Huo Le and the latter's restrained and submissive demeanor.

Lin Yu was deeply impressed by the ruthlessness and decisiveness of President Paris when they clashed as adversaries on the train last time.

Furthermore, the thought that Fu Luo was also on the train last time, yet he immediately changed his attitude upon seeing Fu Luo this time, only made Lin Yu think even more highly of President Paris.

Although the high-ranking officials and Noble of the City That Never Sleeps rarely voluntarily undergo modification surgery to enhance their Combat Power, this is because even the most perfect combat-related modifications often have various side effects.

In particular, many Noble with family Alchemy could hardly undergo any modification surgery in order to ensure the purity of their "body" and "Bloodline" and to maximize the effectiveness of Alchemy.

In the City That Never Sleeps, the higher the level of Alchemy, the more stringent the conditions for learning and using it.

But Lin Yu had no doubt that a ruthless character like Paris, without any background and knowing that he wouldn't be able to learn Alchemy for a while, had probably already secretly performed a full range of modification surgeries on himself.

Even the fact that he underwent the modification surgery could be a means for Paris —not only to enhance his own Combat Power, but also to send a signal to his master and the Nightless Sky Family.

"I've had so many augmentations that I'll almost certainly never master Alchemy, so if you're looking for a dog, I'm definitely the one you can trust the most!"

This is why, despite Paris's legal status being much lower than that of the Royal Nobles, Lin Yu still harbored great fear of him.

Compared to the elite among the Royal Nobles, such as the Nightless Sky Family Head and Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, a guy like Paris who climbed up from the bottom... has a different kind of troublesome style!

Upon seeing Lin Yu appear at the entrance of the Truth Tower, President Paris greeted him with a hearty laugh and open Arms.

"Mr. Sherlock, we meet again!"

Not only were there no visible signs of electric shock on his body, but Paris also seemed to have psychologically forgotten about being electrocuted by Lin Yu.

Lin Yu subtly avoided Paris's attempt to hug him and said, "It wasn't long, Mr. President. We haven't been apart for more than an hour. In fact, our cars were traveling one after the other the whole time, and we weren't even far apart."

As Lin Yu spoke, Paris changed her hug to putting her arm around his shoulder.

This man, who looked refined and had a meticulously slicked-back hairstyle, was now acting like a drunken mercenary from Gray Street Three, hooking his arm around Lin Yu's shoulder and speaking enthusiastically.

"With Lord Huo Le present then, the situation was different—but now that Miss Huo Le has entrusted you to my care, Mr. Sherlock, we have plenty of time to talk."

"Come on, let's go to my office!"

President Paris spoke cheerfully, then led Lin Yu strode into the Truth Tower.

Lin Yu had no objection to this itinerary.

After the two entered, Lin Yu sat down on the sofa again and watched as a maid brought over Orange Water.

Sitting face-to-face with Paris in this relatively private setting, Lin Yu spoke again.

"Just now at the Demon Pig Bar, you deliberately let Miss Huo Le scold you, didn't you?"

As Lin Yu spoke, President Paris took a sip of Orange Water and laughed.

"Brother, you really can't hide anything from you... But then again, I was indeed a bit too deliberate back then, and I guess the esteemed Nightless Sky Huo Le noticed."

Lin Yu looked at President Paris with some curiosity. "Why did you do this?"

"Of course, it's because Lord Huo Le was too angry at the time. We subordinates have to be able to understand what the higher-ups mean," Paris said calmly. "Lord Huo Le a squad of the Nightless Sky Family guards and three security teams. With this kind of setup, let alone cleaning up Gray Street Three, even if they directly stormed the Headquarters the Divine Power Group, as long as they chose the right time and place, they could probably catch the Mercury Family and the Autumn Family off guard. Although the Family Head delegated authority to the Miss, and she has the right to do so, there is a high possibility that her decision will be criticized by the elders of the family and the company Board Members for 'abusing armed forces'."

"Furthermore, her going to the Security Bureau to help you settle things also involved some exchanges with the Solence Family..."

"By publicly criticizing me, the current President of Truth Company, you can shut up a lot of people—everyone who plans to target you will have to reconsider their own importance based on my position and my relationship with her—at the same time, this is also equivalent to comparing my importance with yours."

"Moreover, Mr. Sherlock... you've really become famous lately. Whether you did it intentionally or not, I think Lord Nightless Sky Huo Le City would be happy to see you famous again."

President Paris laughed as he spoke, "After all, Mr. Sherlock, you're planning to pursue the esteemed Lord Nightless Sky Fire Apricot. It seems that in a few days I might have to address you respectfully as 'Your Excellency' every time I see you!"

After President Paris finished speaking, Lin Yu nodded slightly.

"I see."

He understood President Paris's strange behavior earlier—after all, this President, who had climbed up from the bottom and was absolutely perfect in interpersonal relationships and understanding the superiors' intentions, could not possibly have accidentally offended Nightless Sky Huo Le.

Therefore, Lin Yu knew why he did it on purpose.

"So, you're trying to curry favor with me by doing this, aren't you?" Lin Yu looked at President Paris and asked, "What, do you need my help?"

"How could I dare? It's mainly because I almost caused a major misunderstanding on the train, and I'd like to mend our relationship," President Paris said with a smile. "On the other hand, there is indeed a small matter I'd like to ask you to do me a favor..."

Lin Yu nodded, unsurprised.

"Just come to me if you need anything. I don't feel at ease if you don't need anything."

Paris nodded. "Then I'll be frank. Tonight at Lord Nightless Sky Fire Apricot, could you please bring someone along?"

"You, the President Truth Company, can't even bring one person in?"

Lin Yu asked in surprise.

"This person's identity is a bit special. Don't ask who he is. Besides, he's probably going in to steal something—after all, various families and companies have given quite a few valuable items this time," Paris said in a low voice. "So there's a certain risk involved... It's inconvenient for me, an 'outsider,' to bring someone in."

"Of course, I won't let you take the risk for nothing—you'll benefit from this too!"
