Bruce, the Archon of the Limestone Planet, was greatly frightened at the marshal’s partner’s temporary residence, and returned to the Star Administration with weak legs.
Before he had time to ask the director of the Limestone Interstellar Legal Education Bureau, the director of the Limestone Interstellar Seismic Bureau hurried over to report.
“Sir, sir, something is not good!”
Bruce was impatient, “What’s the big deal?”
No matter how bad the event is, it couldn’t be worse than Marshal Raymond, who was resurrected from the dead, seeing the “pregnancy cub detector” brought back from their Limestone Interstellar Legal Education Bureau explode and almost injure Marshal Raymond’s partner and cub.
Bruce felt that if this matter was not handled well, he would have to wear a black hat.1
“Sir.” The Director of the Seismic Bureau wiped his sweat and said out of breath, “There was an earthquake last night. The Seismic Bureau did not predict any signs of ground movement in advance. Now, the people on the Star Internet are going to shake the sky!”2
“What? There was an earthquake?!”
Bruce was startled and got up from the chair abruptly, but because of his soft legs, he fell back.
He didn’t feel anything last night. Moreover, for hundreds of years in the Empire, the Seismic Bureau has been extremely accurate in predicting earthquakes, from early prediction to early warning, without any mistake.
“Have you found the cause of the earthquake?!”
The head of the Seismic Bureau quickly replied: “I found it. An extinct volcano in the Nanshan Area, 800 kilometers away, suddenly erupted.”
Extinct volcanoes are volcanoes that have never erupted in the history of the Beastman Empire. Those volcanoes have been severely divided and eroded because they have not erupted for a long time, and they have long lost their ability to move.
How could an extinct volcano that has lost its ability to erupt, erupt without warning?
“How can an extinct volcano erupt for no reason? Are your group of experts from the Seismic Bureau eating dry food?!”3
The head of the Seismic Bureau couldn’t help sweating, “There are more than 2,000 extinct volcanoes on Limestone Planet. The Seismic Bureau conducted a large-scale investigation one by one fifty years ago, and did not find any large amounts of high-temperature magma accumulation in the ground.”
“Fifty years ago, I checked it out, and I even checked it every five years!” Bruce snarled.
The head of the Seismic Bureau was frightened by the Archon’s roar, but he thought in his heart that the investigation should have been conducted every five years, even though the amount of manpower and material resources needed to be invested could not be mentioned. Everyone in the Seismic Bureau didn’t have to do anything else, except run around the world non-stop every day. It takes five years to investigate more than 2,000 extinct volcanoes. But, the officer couldn’t talk too much.4
The Archon Bruce had turned into a roaring dragon at this moment, and the Director of the Seismic Bureau didn’t dare to argue with him. He asked now:
“Sir, what should we do now? The people are clamoring for an explanation from the Seismic Bureau.”
“The people are clamoring for an explanation from the Seismic Bureau why are you looking at me? What do I do? Should I raise you, the director of the Earthquake Administration? Do you want me to teach you how to do it? If you feel that you are not competent, then don’t do it! Go up to the competent person!”
The head of the Seismic Bureau was hanging down very low. If this matter is not handled well, it will be noticed by the senior officials of the Central Star. By then, let alone the Director of the Limestone Interplanetary Seismic Bureau, even Limestone’s Archon Bruce will have to be swapped.
“Don’t just stand there! Hurry up to deal with it. What are you still doing here for?!”
“Yes, yes, I’ll go now!” The Director of the Seismic Bureau finished speaking, turned around, and ran away.
Bruce let out a sigh, and his still angry face twitched. What was it called? There was nothing to worry about.5
Thinking that there was something bigger waiting for him, Bruce yelled at the door: “Come and get me the Director of the Legal Education Bureau!”
Marshal Raymond only gave him half a day to give him an explanation about the installation of micro bombs in the “Pregnancy Cub Detector”.
In such a short time, it is impossible to find out anything.
Bruce decided to push out the director of the Interstellar Legal Education Bureau and break an arm to save himself.
So now, he brought the director of the Limestone Interstellar Legal Education Bureau to plead to Marshal Raymond.
Cory led Raymond out of Jin WoWo’sj room and saw Bruce’s stout body standing straight against the scorching sun.
Seeing Marshal Raymond come out, Bruce immediately stepped forward respectfully and reported, “Marshal, regarding the explosion of the “Pregnancy Cub Detector”, the officer has already found out an explanation.”
Raymond raised his eyebrows, so fast?
He wanted to see what the Archon of the Limestone Star could find.
“Oh? Let’s talk about it.”
When Bruce heard that Marshal Raymond didn’t seem to care very much, he became more frightened. This kind of carelessness on the surface was actually an expression of extreme anger inside.
The sweat on Bruce’s forehead flowed into a stream, and he didn’t dare to wipe it. He pulled the director of the Limestone Interstellar Legal Education Bureau behind him, saying:
“Extreme criminals have mixed into the Interstellar Legal Education Bureau, intending to cause interstellar panic and riots by installing micro bombs on the “Pregnancy Cub Detector”. They are all due to the failure of the Interstellar Legal Education Bureau to prevent them. I brought the Director of the Legal Education Bureau to apologize to you.”
The director of the Legal Education Bureau was stunned. What the Archon said now was not what they talked about when they were in the Bureau. This discussion is completely different. He’s pushing him out as a scapegoat and shield!
If he agrees to this matter, he will have no chance of turning over again.
The Director of the Legal Education Bureau is not stupid, how could he blindly agree to do it.
Regardless of the Archon’s crazy suggestion, the Director of the Legal Education Bureau immediately stated the facts:
“Master Marshal, our Legal Education Bureau received the news and immediately carried out a comprehensive inspection and investigation of all the pregnancy cub detectors in stock. So far, no problem with any of the equipment has been found. We speculate that your partner received a defective pregnancy cub tester and may have short-circuited due to its quality problems. This requires us to inspect the faulty tester.”
Raymond took a high look at the unruffled style of the head of the Legal Education Bureau, and said, “Then you can take a look at the detector first.”
Bruce glanced bitterly at the Director of the Legal Education Bureau, and when he heard the Marshal’s words, he lowered his head and dared not say anything.
The Director of the Legal Education Bureau hurriedly picked up the exploded pregnancy cub detector that was still thrown on the ground, and removed the shell on the spot.
He used to be a mechanic, and he was able to climb up to the post of director of the Interstellar Legal Education Bureau. His methods were extraordinary.
The Director of the Legal Education Bureau quickly completed the inspection and reported respectfully: “Your Marshal, there is no trace of any micro-bombs installed in this detector. As for it suddenly exploding, it is presumed that the line short-circuited, it most likely had a problem when it left the factory and is a defective product.”
“Well, since the possibility of dangerous goods has been found, then this matter will be exposed to the public. In the future, you must take strict precautions against this aspect. I will never tolerate things that endanger the next generation of the Empire.”
Director of the Legal Education Bureau: “…?????!!!”
Archon Bruce: “…?????!!!”
That’s it?
The Marshal did not hound them at all for the incident that harmed his partner and cub. He simply raised his hand and put it down lightly, and let them go easily.
Marshal Raymond is really brilliant!
The Director of the Legal Education Bureau was so touched that he almost shed tears, but that would definitely give Marshal Raymond more trouble.
Bruce was horrified. Knowing that this incident could be revealed so lightly, he told a lie. And what he did now caused him to have a rift with his capable subordinates.
Raymond glanced at the two of them, knowing their thoughts well.
He looked at the head of the Legal Education Bureau of Limestone Planet and thought, “not bad.” However, the ruling Archon of Limestone Planet…it was time to change his seat.
That’ll be done at a later time.
Now, Raymond still needs the current Archon to help him.
“Bruce, please help us prepare a small civilian spacecraft, arrange a warehouse for pregnant women, and send it here early tomorrow morning.”
Although Jin WoWo was not pregnant, Raymond’s mind was always playing back uncontrollably to the scene when they first met in the wild forest of the hidden star.
The golden snail’s ability may have the power to go against nature, but his body looks very thin and weak. The journey to Central Star is far and long. The other party may not be able to stand the conditions of a military spacecraft.
As soon as Nishizawa left the house, he heard Raymond’s sentence “Set up a warehouse for pregnant women.”
Don’t you dare to believe that Raymond still doesn’t know that his partner has had “a miscarriage”?
Really, such a beastman, why on earth would God give him a companion?
Nishizawa prepared a little, and planned to talk to Marshal Raymond later.
