'Before Joanna became a respectable lady, she had a lowly job but it was undeniable that she had quite the charm, even after her face was blemished in a brawl.'
'Other than her outstanding leadership skills, Joanna's Guardian Knight, her most reliable comrade, Becker, was the most surprising. He didn't just have the strength of a bull, he even killed a group of Union elites with his bare hands. When the Union finally surrounded Joanna, they had to send out the strongest infantry division at that time. Fortunately, Becker was alone, he was killed after killing more than a hundred men.'
'As Joanna's first personal guard and later ally, Contly's most noticeable trait was her swift and decisive way of doing things. A lot of people said that if Contly didn't die in an explosion during the Battle of Deldor, Joanna would be even harder to deal with. But from how I see it, if Contly didn't die in an accident, she would be the hardest one to deal with!'
'Joanna was really amazing, even as a man, it was hard for me to reach her level. But undeniably, she still failed in the end. She might have had the upper hand during the battle with the great General Harold, but in the end, she couldn't turn the tables around.'
…
Unlike the public documents that Kieran asked Lyn Amie to retrieve from the library, in the documents that commoners couldn't see, Kieran saw some familiar names.
Becker, the big guy who was adopted by Herbert. He wasn't that smart but he wasn't weak.
There was also the self-proclaimed bounty hunter, Contly, who was actually the new Isogu City Guardian.
However, what surprised Kieran the most was about Harold Lander.
Kieran had been in contact with Harold for a long time, and based on his impression, Harold wasn't a young man who would betray his friendship and love.
Of course, there might be something that Kieran didn't know that caused the two of them to turn against each other.
However, it wasn't in the documents.
Even if there was, Kieran wouldn't fully believe it.
This was because, in Kieran's opinion, there were too many subjective conjectures in this information. If it wasn't for the fact that it was from a long time ago and was slightly closer to the truth, it would be completely useless.
Moreover, even in this completely subjective description, there was one person missing.
Cohen!
The poor boy who came from a poor background and studied under Herbert like Joanna and Harold Lander.
Since Joanna and Harold Lander were active in history during a certain period, it was impossible for Kieran to be a nobody.
With the situation at that time, even if Cohen wanted to conceal his identity and live a peaceful life, it would be difficult to do so.
Joanna and Harold would not let him have his way.
Even according to the narrator's unreliable description, Harold Lander, who had a falling out with Joanna, would surely try his best to rope Cohen to his side.
No one knew better than them what each other's abilities were.
"Is he hiding it on purpose?"
"Or …"
"What accident happened that caused him to retire from the stage of history?"
"Or maybe Cohen was the fuse that caused Joanna and Harold to fall out with each other?"
Kieran recalled Cohen's gaze when he stared at Joanna. Apart from friendship, there was also the initial admiration in his gaze.
Kieran's fingers were tapping the table softly.
Whenever his thoughts were stuck in a dead-end and he wanted to escape, Kieran had the habit of tapping the table and the back of the chair with his fingers.
The habit allowed him to not waste any necessary time and save a lot of energy.
Just like at that moment, Kieran knew that without sufficient information, any guesses he made would be useless. It might even backfire on him.
Just look at the things that the narrator described!
How much of it was real?
Probably less than 3%.
"What happened back then?"
With that thought in mind, Kieran ended his thoughts.
It wasn't just because he didn't want to waste his energy anymore, it was also because someone knocked on the door.
Dok, Dok Dok!
"Come in."
Following Kieran's order, Lyn Amie came in with a lunch bag.
Through the translucent lunch bag, Kieran saw raw eggs, wrapped bacon and bread, lettuce, and a big carton of milk.
The former was Kieran's request and the latter was Lyn Amie's own decision.
As for what kind of breakfast it was?
Other than a bacon and egg sandwich, Kieran couldn't think of anything else.
"Bacon and egg sandwiches are my specialty!"
I promise it won't taste as bad as the beef two nights ago!
I also promise it won't taste as bad as the food I bought! "
Lyn Amie said confidently.
"Is that so?
I'll wait and see then. "
Kieran packed up the documents and walked to the sofa beside him.
His weak body always made him yearn for information.
Especially after overthinking and reading, it felt like he had been working for four to five days straight without any rest.
He was tired and uncomfortable.
If it wasn't for the vigilance in his heart, Kieran might have fallen asleep when he leaned against the sofa.
Squinting his eyes, Kieran tried his best to empty his mind and rest slowly.
Meanwhile, in a certain office in Rain City, a discussion about Kieran quietly started.
"What?
I'm leaving the shaman show? "
Mei Huasheng looked at her superior in shock.
"Mm.
Slightly better, we'll send a more suitable person to Rain City TV station as the consultant for the show.
You will be responsible for the case last night. "
The director took off his glasses and looked at Mei Huasheng.
"Didn't you read my report?
"2567 is really a dangerous guy!"
"If no one is watching him, who knows what he will do!"
Mei Huasheng emphasized.
"It's because I read your report that I decided to send a new consultant to the shaman show.
Mei Huasheng, you are capable enough, but you aren't suitable to stay beside 2567.
"You being there will only make him wary!"
When a person is alert, they will not make mistakes! "
The director stated his reasons.
The reason might not be convincing to others, but to Mei Huasheng, a person who stuck to the rules, it was very convincing.
In fact, because of that, the director said what he said.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to solve the situation at hand.
As for the so-called 'shaman' 2567, the director did not take him seriously at all, even when Mei Huasheng mentioned him countless times, the director was still the same.
He was just an insignificant liar, what kind of storm could he cause?
After making sure the theft and murder case had nothing to do with 2567, the director shifted his attention away from the liar.
After all, following the theft and murder case, there were too many things worthy of his attention.
However, whenever he thought about his subordinate's stubbornness, the director couldn't help but feel a headache.
It was obvious that he had to send another person to the show when he was short on manpower, otherwise, Mei Huasheng would surely question him.
Just like how he didn't deny that Mei Huasheng was very capable, he also couldn't deny that she was inflexible. If it weren't for her abiding by the rules, he would have thrown her back to the soldier rehabilitation center for further psychological treatment.
While the director was thinking about who to send, the phone on the table rang.
