"What kind of person am I?"
Leon, who was drenched in sweat, revealed a wry smile as he listened to Coral's question. The situation before him gave him a headache.
He had only wanted to give the other party a show of strength, but he did not expect the other party to be so strong. The current situation had put them in an awkward position.
However, when he thought about the task he was tasked with and the importance of Adil, a peak-level Awakened, he forced himself to stand up. He revealed a somewhat forced smile and said, "Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding earlier."
"Let me introduce myself once more. I am Leon, the Deputy Governor of Elka Province and also the Military Chief of Caria City."
He pulled out a well-made black document from his bosom. On it was his photo, personal information and other records.
On the first page of the document was the Kingdom of Purplish-Gold Flower's emblem.
Seeing the document, Coral's pupils shrank and he looked at Leon, who was lying on the ground. His face changed slightly. "Deputy Governor?"
As a veteran police officer who had been in the field for many years, he was well aware of the value of the position of Deputy Governor.
Disregarding the authority that this position represented, just to hold this position, one must be from a family of at least the Count rank. Otherwise, one would not even have the qualifications to compete for this position.
If this Leon's identity was real, given his young age, he must have a powerful background. He might even be from one of the few ruling families in the kingdom. His background must not be underestimated.
As he thought of that, he looked at the man in black lying on the ground like a dead dog. Then, he looked at Leon, who was drenched in sweat. Coral's face turned gloomy and killing intent flashed across his eyes.
"We are not enemies."
Secretly observing the expressions of the few people present, Leon accurately caught the killing intent in Coral's eyes and quickly said, "Truth be told, this time, I am here to announce your reward."
"Oh, in other words, we should be thanking you?" Coral sneered, his eyes staring at the other party without letting his guard down.
Sensing the ridicule in Coral's words, Leon simply smiled. "What happened earlier was just a misunderstanding. I just wanted to see if the geniuses this time around are as terrifying as the legends put them out to be."
"So, how do you feel now?" Coral gently twisted his wrist and pointed the pistol in his hand at Leon.
"Very good, very good." Leon sternly said, "Mr. Coral, your child is an absolute genius. Even though he has just awakened, he is still able to reach this level."
"In the past six months, I've received hundreds of Awakened ones. Some of them were powerful, some had special powers, but none of them were like your child. Not only did he successfully awaken at this age, but he was also able to fight Calamity head-on."
"He is a gift from the heavens, a treasure of the Violet Flower Kingdom."
Looking at Adil, who was standing in the distance, Leon looked very excited. The heat in his eyes almost melted Adil. "You may not know this, but the power of the Awakened is not static. As long as your child goes through appropriate training and learning, his power will shock the whole world when he reaches adulthood. Even the most terrifying disaster can only surrender before him!"
"So, what is the purpose of your visit this time?" Coral frowned as he listened to Leon's agitated words and words that bordered on fanaticism. He sensed Leon's fanaticism towards Adil.
"This is my mission this time." Standing on the spot, Leon gently smoothed his clothes. Then, he took out a dark gold appointment from a man in black behind him.
"Mr. Coral, this is your new appointment."
He looked at Coral with a smile on his face and said word by word, "From now on, you are the sheriff of Caria City and a hereditary baron appointed by the kingdom. From now on, you are no longer bound by the kingdom's laws. Only the court of nobles can judge you."
"Hereditary baron." Listening to this appointment, even though there was no change on the surface, Adil could clearly see that Coral's hand holding the gun was trembling slightly.
It was no wonder.
In Ximu's memories, Coral was an ambitious person who wanted to climb up the social ladder and obtain the power he wanted.
Unfortunately, his birth was too low. Even though he could read and write, he wasn't a descendant of nobles. He was only the son of a declining merchant. He had two children to support at home, so he didn't have any spare money to help himself.
Moreover, even though he was rather talented, he wasn't very popular. His cold and unapproachable temperament made it so that apart from a few old friends, not many people were willing to support him.
Because of all these reasons, he was still an elite police officer even though he had wasted a few decades of his life.
But now, not only did his dream position come knocking on his door, but even a title, which he didn't even dare to think about, came knocking on his door.
Even though he was calm by nature, Coral's emotions couldn't help but fluctuate a little when faced with such a situation.
Looking at this scene in Silence and sensing Coral's fluctuating emotions, the smile on Leon's face became much more relaxed.
This reward was something that he and his aides had discussed for a long time before they decided to take it out. It was to make the other party change their mind and soften their attitude in order to achieve the goal of winning them over.
Before he set off, he had analyzed it with someone.
As a powerful Awakened who could confront Calamity head-on not long after awakening, Adil's strength and potential were unquestionable. It was worth using all means to rope him in.
But even so, according to the collected information, he was only a 12-year-old child. Judging from his age, directly roping him in might not be very effective. Starting from his relatives was the right thing to do.
For this reason, he used his influence to do a lot of homework in a short period of time. He mobilized all the information on Coral and Tilly, as well as some of their friends to understand them. Only then did he take the initiative to visit them.
"As for Miss Tilly, we've also prepared a gift."
He turned around and looked at Tilly with a face full of smiles, then lightly clapped his hands.
Behind him, a man in black barely crawled up from the ground and slowly half-knelt on the ground. He placed a large black box in front of Tilly and opened it.
Bang …
With a soft sound, the contents of the box were revealed.
There were pieces of intact gold bars piled up in a large box. The visual effect was very good.
"This is gold worth 100,000 gold coins. There's also a note for 1,000,000 gold coins. You can withdraw it at any time from the Purple Flower Bank."
