Chapter 21 Takeover

"General.

Arno smiled lightly and put down a chess piece.

"You have nothing left to play, so please stop struggling."

"You are a qualified adult only when you admit your mistakes."

A little higher than his knees, there was a criss-cross chessboard.

Above, the black chess pieces surround the white chess pieces. Even if you are not proficient in chess, you will know that the white chess piece has no way to go.

This is a huge disadvantage and there is no way to make a comeback.

"Hmm~"

Alicia bit her lower lip, angrily put down the chess pieces in her hand, and looked at Tina who was drinking tea.

"Take care of your young master and ask him to give in to me, an elder!"

“There is no distinction between young and old in competition.”

Tina just glanced at her lightly and said.

She didn't know why Alicia kept running to her house these days.

All she knew was that her precious son seemed to be snatched away from her.

"Please don't be angry. Your skills have improved a lot compared to last time."

Arno smiled, stood up and gave Alicia a cup of tea.

Suddenly, from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of light flashing brightly at the window, which was caused by the refraction of the mirror.

As a result, Arno smiled even more happily.

He bent over Tina and Alicia, put his hands on his chest,

"Ladies, please take your time."

"I have some things to do and I'm going out for a while."

After saying this, Arnold left.

"What a sensible and good boy."

Alicia looked at Arno's back and murmured.

"I don't know who was complaining just now that others don't know how to hold back."

Tina said speechlessly.

——

outside the door,

Arno saw a newspaper seller holding a mirror nodding at him.

"How's it going?"

"A huge success."

After buying a newspaper and saying a few words, Arnold gave him a gold coin as usual, stretched out his hand and waved to the side to stop a car.

Mother was at home today and there was no way for Bull to send him off. After he came back last time, he was severely scolded again.

The pain in my ears has not gone away yet.

"Go to the entertainment area."

After speaking calmly, the carriage sped away immediately.

In the car, Arnold closed his eyes and thought attentively.

"Although Evie was exposed, the rewards outweighed the risks this time."

"In this era, as long as you have information, you can control everything."

He opened his eyes and looked out the carriage window,

The old era and the new era intertwined before his eyes, creating a strange sense of harmony.

Just like the carriage beneath him, and the car driven by Bull.

The two do not conflict, but coexist peacefully in this city.

However, Arnold knew.

This kind of harmony will not exist for long.

"Now that the information is in my hands."

"Then, let's go to the next step."

"While weakening the reformists, I must also insert my own influence into them."

"Players trust NPCs very much."

"Use the intelligence gap to guide players to reject the reformists and move closer to the conservatives."

"Leverage their huge crowd advantage to help me accomplish my goal."

Arno thought,

In his mind, the moment when Noya ascended the throne wearing a crown seemed to have appeared.

"Guest, here we come."

Soon after, a soft cry interrupted Arno's thoughts.

He got out of the car and threw a few gold coins to the driver, which could serve as his salary for several months, and walked towards the custom shop.

jingle,

jingle……

Opening the door, Arnold looked up.

Above the door, a newly installed wind chime makes a crisp sound, making people feel happy.

"It seems I'm late."

Looking around the room, there was no one there.

It appears that the official who announced the imperial appointment has left.

Only Evie was sitting at the table, with a pile of thick documents in front of her.

Now that the Corrector is dead, the burden on her shoulders will be huge, and the entire royal capital's intelligence network will pass through her hands.

Seeing Arno arrive, Evie just raised her head and glanced at him, without even saying hello.

Arno could only smile bitterly at this,

The joke last time made it clear that she was just pretending to be Yanmo, but it seemed that it was still not enough to make Evie calm down her anger.

This is no wonder, after all, everyone is angry after being played like this.

"Anyway, first of all, congratulations on becoming the leader."

Arno picked up a chair and sat in front of Evie without noticing anything, and said to himself regardless of whether she replied to him or not.

"Now that you have become the leader, the previous information should have been released."

"I need to retrieve all the information about Yanmo Noine's life."

"Please help me."

"In addition, regarding the application for joining the ministry that I submitted before, I hope you can approve it as soon as possible."

A series of words came out of Arno's mouth without any pause.

These things have already been in his mind.

As long as the corrector is grasped, it will be implemented immediately.

After he said this, he looked at Evie.

The sound of "rustling" the tip of the pen across the paper stopped.

Evie put down her pen and finally looked at Arno.

The eyes were cold, as if the person in front of him was not the lively and cheerful person when he first met Arno.

"Is that all you want to say?"

Her voice was as cold as her eyes.

After meeting, he asked her to do something as soon as he opened his mouth. What did he think of her?

Doraemon?

"Do you have any opinions?"

The faint smile that always hung on the corner of Arno's mouth disappeared.

He looked at Ivy's pale expression and thought of her unusual attitude.

Suddenly, he realized.

"Well, maybe I didn't come at the right time today."

"Well, drink more hot water."

After thinking about it, Arno said.

Ivy was stunned, and then. Her face turned red.

It was like a juicy apple, making people eager to bite.

"Not this!"

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

She pointed angrily at the pile of documents, thinking that Arno should be more considerate of her now.

Arno suddenly realized.

He understood.

"I know. I wanted to tell you."

"Regarding your work, I will ask Noah to arrange someone to assist you as soon as possible."

Yvie's mouth twitched.

Pah,

She pulled a pile of documents from the table and stuffed them into Arno's arms.

"Let's go, let's go now!"

Arno didn't understand why, but after glancing at the contents of the documents, he nodded with satisfaction and left.

As for Yvie, she didn't care about anything else.

Chess pieces, as long as they don't leave the chessboard without permission.

"Ha..."

Yvie was left alone in the room, and she sighed.

Looking at the documents on the table, she shook her head and took a stamp from the side and stamped it.

"Approved, Arno Chris joins the Corrector."

Outside the room,

Arno had just taken two steps when the belated voice came.
