Chapter 262: Adding bricks and tiles to Winter City

  Chapter 262 Contributes to Winter City

   Leon, who received David's answer, went back to fight for better conditions for himself.

  David thought it would take some time for Leon and the politicians to get an accurate answer.

  However, the facts have proved that even politicians who are good at working abroad can show amazing efficiency once they encounter things that are directly related to their own interests.

Lyon quickly got an accurate answer: he will be the leader of the new department. This department, which has not yet been officially named, will be directly under the president himself. He is usually responsible for protecting the president and handling various special incidents in North America. The focus of these people's work.

  The members of the new department will be drawn from various departments, and Leon will get a group of elite men.

In addition, Leon himself also has the right to recruit, and he can recruit people he thinks are excellent and suitable into the new department. For this reason, Leon spent some time looking for many "old friends". Unfortunately, the people he recruited were not accepted. not much.

   Fortunately, another request of his has been met.

"right here?"

   "Yes!" Leon looked at the red-haired ponytail girl beside him. Before he brought this old comrade over, he had already greeted David: "The environment here is very good, you think so!"

"It's really good!" Claire with her ponytail looked around. Although she was in this city called Winter City, she could still see the beautiful natural scenery around her: the vast river and the forest not far away. As well as the mountain peaks farther away, and the vast snow field: "It's just a little cold."

  Before coming here, Leon greeted her specially, but Claire still didn't expect the temperature here to be so low, she even suspected that she was in Alaska or even the Arctic Circle.

"I think this place is very good." The other blonde girl next to Leon kept looking around with her eyes shining. She didn't care about the cold wind like a knife at all. She even felt that the cold wind was blowing on her body. Made her feel 'free'.

   "As long as you like it here!"

  Leon and Claire looked at Shirley who was full of excitement. Both of them had gratified smiles on their faces. They just watched Shirley keep turning her head and looking around.

   deliberately slowed down, and Claire lowered her voice a lot: "You actually let Shirley leave the laboratory, and those guys are willing to let her go? How did you do it?"

  Leon waved his hand, indicating that he will discuss this matter with you later: "It can't be explained clearly in a few sentences, so let's go and see Shirley's new home first!"

Claire knew that things couldn't be explained clearly, especially this place called Winter City... She didn't understand what was going on, but just put her hand on Leon's shoulder and followed him forward. place.

  If she hadn't experienced it herself, it would be hard for her to believe that such a miraculous thing would happen, even if she had seen many strange things herself.

Chatting casually while walking, Claire only knew that they were in another world now through Leon's narration. This Winter City was established by the Earl of the Kingdom of Tilan named David Glamorgan in the last two years. rise up new city.

   In addition, this is a world with many magical powers, and there are many legendary races. She just saw an elf, and the elf's hands exuded golden light, and seemed to be treating people.

"this…"

  The world view has been greatly impacted, and Claire wonders if she has entered a magical world similar to Lord of the Rings?

  Before he opened his mouth to ask, a police car roared by with its siren sounding.

   "..."

  Claire suddenly realized that what Leon said was correct, this matter really cannot be explained clearly in a few words, and it would take a long time to explain this strange place alone.

  Leaving the main road and turning onto a much narrower but still wide road, Claire looked around curiously.

   This should be a residential area, and you can see the signs of various shops and restaurants, and the people you meet from time to time are chatting in a language that she doesn't understand at all.

   After walking for a while, Claire and Shirley stopped in front of a house led by Leon.

   This is a two-story building with a single door. After Leon opened it with the key and made an invitation gesture, Shirley and Claire walked in immediately.

  They were not polite to Leon, and immediately began to look at the situation in the house after entering the house.

The first floor is the kitchen, dining room, living room, and bathroom. The second floor is the bedroom, guest room, bathroom, and study room. There is also an independent back garden. Although it is not particularly large, it is very cozy. The water and electricity facilities are complete, and even the bedding is brand new. .

   "Is this your house?"

   "No, this is Shirley's house." When Leon answered Claire's question, he handed the key to Shirley: "Live here for the time being. If you don't like anything, you can change it later."

   "Ah, no! This is already very good." Shirley found that this place perfectly met her requirements, especially that it was very close to the next house and there were many neighbors around.

  For Shirley, who has been locked up in the laboratory as a test subject for many years, she likes this kind of popular residence very much.

  Looking at the key in her hand, Shirley looked around again, at this moment she suddenly felt unreal.

   "Am I really going to live here in the future?"

   "Yes, and no one will take you to various tests in the future."

  Testing is a nice way of saying it, but it actually means conducting various experiments.

Leon became an agent in order to protect Shirley, but he was powerless to prevent Shirley from becoming a test subject for scientists. If he hadn't obtained extraordinary power from Winter City and used this as a bargaining chip to negotiate, Shirley might be imprisoned forever. In the laboratory, be a guinea pig.

   "Thank you, Leon!"

  Shirley gave Leon a strong hug, and then ran to the second floor to visit her new home in an 'excited' manner. Of course, she might have found a place to cry and vent.

  Watching Shirley disappear at the corner of the stairs, Claire was happy for Shirley, and at the same time looked at Leon: "Can you explain it well now?"

"sure!"

   He simply told his own experience, and finally told Claire how he negotiated with the authorities to 'rescue' Shirley.

   After the lecture, Leon sent out another invitation, hoping that Claire would join the new department to help him.

  If it was the past, Claire would have rejected it without even thinking about it. She has extreme distrust of the government. After graduating from university, she joined various civil organizations to fight against the government. For this reason, she even had conflicts with Leon.

  Now her thinking has changed a little bit, maybe she can seriously consider joining the new department formed by Lyon.

  Because in this new department, she can better deal with various crises caused by biological and chemical weapons, and at the same time, she can better protect Shirley.

   As for learning 'magic', it's completely incidental!

  Well, can you help your brother find the way? Or ask Leon to introduce his brother to the Earl of Glamorgan? Learn a certain special ability directly from here, so that his brother Chris can better deal with various biochemical events.

Especially when Claire learned through Leon that Rebecca was already considering setting up a medical laboratory in Winter City, and wanted to see if she could find the answer to completely eradicate biochemical viruses through mysterious knowledge, she became more and more inclined to Yu accepted Leon's invitation...

At this time, David did not rule out that Leon was working hard to 'contribute to Winter City'. After dealing with some affairs in a row, he got more free time again, so he told Gwen that he was going to her in the next few days. home as a guest.

  The happy Gwen didn't go home that night, and wanted to fight David until dawn, but accidentally awakened a new attribute.

   "Do you know the huge gap between the two of us? Remember to work hard, little fountain!"

   "..."

  Gwen's complexion is considered very fair among white people, but at this time she was not white at all, and her whole body was as red as a hot pepper, and it took a long time before she returned to her normal state.

Fortunately, Gwen returned to normal in time, otherwise when David was sitting at the dining table at Stacey's house, Director Stacey's questions would not have been so cordial and friendly. He is of high quality and well-trained.

"How old are you?"

   "Twenty!" David is indeed only twenty years old in this life, and he will only turn twenty-one after a while. In terms of age, he is not much different from Gwen.

  Of course, Director Stacey is still not very happy, because his daughter is not yet an adult!

   "Are you in college?"

   "No, currently starting a business."

   "Entrepreneurship?"

   “Yes, and has already pulled in several rounds of investment in Europe and North America.”

"oh?"

   Director Stacey, who originally thought it was unreliable, heard that David had received several rounds of investment, so he felt a little bit more reliable, but if this is the case, this kid won’t be a **** who simply cheats, right?

   "What is your company's main business?"

"Clean energy, waste water and garbage disposal." David originally wanted to talk about land development, but he probably aroused suspicion, so he simply changed his name to clean energy and garbage disposal. These projects are still very new in this era, young There are quite a few people who have entered this type of industry. It is not surprising that he is doing business in this area.

  The most important thing is that these technologies exist in Winter City. Although it is not convenient to talk about the technical details, some concepts, advantages and selling points can be used to talk about it, which is enough to deal with Director Stacey in front of him.

  David also specifically emphasized that his company's main business scope is not in North America. In addition, he has a British accent. Director Stacey wants to investigate his details, and he will not immediately become suspicious if he can't find anything.

  In fact, he was thinking too much. Director Stacey's suspicion of him has nothing to do with whether the investigation does not investigate his background.
