[Chapter 262: Contributing to Winter City]

After receiving David’s answer, Lyon went back to fight for better conditions for himself.

David thought that Lyon and the politicians would have to spend some time to get an accurate answer.

However, it turns out that even politicians who are good at procrastinating can still show amazing efficiency when they encounter things that are closely related to their own interests.

Lyon soon got an accurate answer: he will become the leader of the new department. This department, which has not yet been officially named, will be directly under the president himself. It is usually responsible for protecting the president and handling various special events in North America. Biological and chemical events are the focus of these people’s work.

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

In addition, Lyon himself also has the right to recruit people who he thinks are excellent and suitable into the new department. For this reason, Lyon spent some time looking for many “old friends”, but unfortunately not many people accepted his recruitment.

Fortunately, his other request was met.

“Is it here?”

“Yes!” Lyon looked at the red-haired girl with a ponytail beside him. He had already said hello to David before bringing this old comrade over: “The environment here is very good, you think so too!”

“It’s really good!” Claire, who had a ponytail, looked around. Although she was in this city called Winter City, she could still see the beautiful natural scenery around her: the wide river, the forest not far away, the mountains farther away, and the vast snowfield: “It’s just a little cold.”

Before coming over, Lyon specially greeted her, but Claire still didn’t expect the temperature here to be so low. She even suspected that she had arrived in Alaska or even the Arctic Circle.

“I think it’s very good here.” The other blonde girl beside Lyon kept looking around with shining eyes. She didn’t care about the cold wind like a knife at all. She even felt that the cold wind blowing on her body made her feel “free”.

“I’m glad you like it here!”

Lyon and Claire looked at Shirley, who was full of excitement. Both of them had a gratified smile on their faces. They just watched Shirley turning her head and looking around.

Claire deliberately slowed down her pace and lowered her voice a lot: “You actually let Shirley leave the laboratory. Those guys were willing to let her go? How did you do it?”

Lyon waved his hand, indicating that he would tell you about this in detail later: “It’s not something that can be explained in just one or two sentences. Let’s go and see Shirley’s new home first!”

Claire knew that things couldn’t be explained simply, especially this place called Winter City… She didn’t understand what was going on, but just put her hand on Lyon’s shoulder and followed him forward. In a flash, she arrived at this place.

If she hadn’t experienced it herself, it would be hard for her to believe that there would be such a magical thing, even though she had seen many strange things.

As they walked and chatted casually, Claire only knew from Leon’s narration that they were now in another world. This Winter City was a new city built in the last two years by the Earl of the Kingdom of Tiran named David Glamorgan.

In addition, this is a world with many magical powers and many legendary races. She just saw an elf whose hands were emitting golden light and seemed to be healing people.

“This…”

Claire’s worldview was greatly shocked. She wondered if she had arrived in a magical world similar to the Lord of the Rings?

Before she asked, a police car whizzed past her with sirens blaring.

“…”

Claire suddenly realized that what Leon said was right. This matter really could not be explained in a few words. Just talking about this strange place would take a long time.

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

This should be a residential area. You can also see signs of various shops and restaurants. People you meet from time to time are chatting in a language she can’t understand at all.

After walking for a while, Claire and Shirley stopped in front of a house under the guidance of Lyon.

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

They did not say anything polite to Lyon. After entering the house, they immediately began to look at the situation inside 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. There is also an independent back garden. Although it is not particularly large, it is very warm, with complete water and electricity facilities, and even the bedding is brand new.

“Is this your house?”

“No, this is Shirley’s house.” While answering Claire’s question, Lyon handed the key in his hand to Shirley: “Live here for the time being. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can change it later.”

“Ah, no! This is already very good.” Shirley found that this place perfectly met her requirements, especially the fact that it is very close to the house next door and there are 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.

Shirley looked at the key in her hand and her surroundings. Suddenly, she felt unreal.

“Am I really going to live here from now on?”

“Yes, and no one will take you to do various tests anymore.”

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

Leon became an agent to protect Shirley, but he was powerless to stop Shirley from becoming a test subject for scientists. If she hadn’t obtained extraordinary power from Winter City and used it as a bargaining chip for negotiation, Shirley might have been locked up in the laboratory forever as a guinea pig.

“Thank you, Leon!”

Shirley hugged Leon hard, and then ran to the second floor to visit her new home in excitement. Of course, she might have gone there to cry and vent.

Watching Shirley disappear at the corner of the stairs, Claire was happy for Shirley and looked at Leon: “Can you explain it now?”

“Of course!”

He told Claire about his experience, and finally told her how he negotiated with the officials to “rescue” Shirley.

After Leon finished speaking, he invited Claire again, hoping that Claire would join the new department to help him.

If it was before, Claire would have refused without a second thought. She was extremely distrustful of the authorities. After graduating from university, she joined various civil groups to fight against the authorities, and had conflicts with Lyon for this.

Now her thoughts have changed a little. 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 just a side job!

Well, can I also help my brother explore the way? Or ask Lyon to introduce my brother to the Earl of Glamorgan? Learn some special abilities directly from here, so that my brother Chris can better deal with various biological and chemical incidents.

Especially when Claire learned from Leon that Rebecca was considering coming to Winter City to build a medical laboratory, wanting to see if she could find the answer to completely eliminate the biochemical virus through mysterious knowledge, she was more inclined to accept Leon’s invitation in her heart…

At this time, David did not know that Leon was working hard to “add bricks and tiles” to Winter City. After handling some affairs in succession, he got more free time again, so he told Gwen that he was going to visit her home in the next few days.

Happy Gwen did not go home that night, and wanted to fight David until dawn, but she accidentally awakened a new attribute.

“Do you know the huge gap between our strengths? Remember to work hard, little fountain!”

“…”

Gwen’s skin color is considered very white among white people, but at this time she is not white at all. She is as red as a chili pepper. It took a long time for her to return to normal.

Fortunately, Gwen recovered in time, otherwise when David sat at the dining table in Stacy’s house, Chief Stacy’s questions would not be so cordial and friendly. He did not pull out his gun and empty the magazine on the spot, which showed his high quality and good upbringing.

“How old are you this year?”

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

Of course, Chief Stacy is still not very happy because his daughter is not yet an adult!

“Are you in college?”

“No, I’m starting a business.”

“Starting a business?”

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

“Oh?”

Chief Stacy, who originally thought that David was unreliable, felt a little more reliable after hearing that David had received several rounds of investment. But in this case, this kid would not be a playboy who simply cheated on his body, right?

“What is your company’s main business?”

“Clean energy, wastewater and garbage disposal.” David originally wanted to say land development, but it was estimated that it would arouse suspicion, so he simply changed the topic to clean energy and garbage disposal. These projects are still very new in this era, and there are many young people entering this industry. It is not surprising that he is doing business in this area.

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

David also specifically emphasized that his company’s main business scope is not in North America. In addition, he speaks with a British accent, so Director Stacy wants to investigate his background, but if she can’t find anything, she will not immediately become suspicious.

In fact, he thought too much. Director Stacy’s suspicion of him and whether to investigate his background have nothing to do with each other.
