The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 230 - 229 French Plane Tree: Hurry and cover your th

"Impossible,"

Black Cat flatly rejected.

Once he started making exceptions for others, it would set a precedent that could undermine future discipline.

"Well, then, can’t you just delay it for a while? After today is a pri opportunity for romance to blossom, it’d be a waste to let it slip away."

Fei Shibu pleaded once more.

"Well... what do you all think?"

Black Cat looked to the group of Platinum Authors who had co round.

"Please, it’s all my fault today, I take full responsibility. After the ball, I will definitely visit to apologize,"

Fei Shibu bowed repeatedly to the authors, her attitude exceedingly sincere.

After so discussion, the Platinum Authors eventually nodded in agreent.

Despite the hassle, it wiped their negative emotions clean, an effect that normally took five or six balls to achieve; it was a blessing in disguise.

Since there was no loss and Fei Shibu had a decent attitude of apology, and they were sure to receive an apology from the novelist later, it seed okay to cut them so slack.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, I’ll request the association delay the novelist’s confinent for a month,"

Black Cat jumped at the chance to agree.

"God of Fool is truly wonderful."

Fei Shibu rushed over to give Black Cat a hug and kiss.

"Hey, keep your distance, woman."

Black Cat got a fright and swiftly executed a triple jump to escape her cuddling range.

"Talk is talk, keep your hands to yourself, I’m not that kind of easy cat,"

Black Cat grumbled, displeased.

The nerve of this woman, what did she take him for?

He was, after all, the great God of Fool, the first genius novelist of the cat kind in the history of the tropolis; he wasn’t like those vulgar creatures that only knew how to act cute and beg for spoiled sustenance.

"God of Fool is really stingy,"

Fei Shibu pouted.

"I’m stingy? If I were stingy, you’d have been book cover by now,"

Black Cat retorted irritably.

Putting aside their squabbling, on the other side, Liu Zheng and the novelist had already left the "Quill" club.

The moonlight spread across the road, romantic as the atmosphere at the mont.

"Senior, actually..."

After more than a hundred ters of silence, the novelist finally couldn’t help but speak up.

"I know,"

Liu Zheng interrupted her.

"Ah? How co?"

The novelist asked subconsciously.

Despite the incident, she believed that both her and Fei Shibu’s acting had been flawless.

"Your friend was quite natural in his act, but you, the traces were too obvious,"

Liu Zheng said lightly.

He was an orphan and later beca a journalist. As such, his ability to read people was much stronger than the average person.

Embarrassed, the novelist lowered her head.

"After all the trouble you’ve gone through to trick , don’t you think you owe sothing?"

Liu Zheng didn’t let her feel embarrassed for too long and stated it outright.

"Of course, senior, you can let make it up to you in any way you wish,"

The novelist said promptly.

"Except for helping you with other won,"

She paused, then added.

"What’s that supposed to an? It’s like you think I only know unlawful vagrants,"

Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.

The Nightingale incident was simply a matter of assisting an investigation, and his acquaintances, including himself, were all law-abiding.

"So, senior, what do you want to make up to you? I’m free these days too,"

The novelist gave Liu Zheng a suggestive look.

Too bad, he was as slippery as an eel and couldn’t be hooked.

"Could you help rescind a warrant?"

Liu Zheng asked directly.

"Male or female?"

The novelist asked warily.

"Male."

"Oh, then please explain, senior."

The novelist relaxed a bit.

"His na is Sha Jiang, also known as the Fire Mage or so bear-touching guy. Of course, the na on the warrant might not be any of these,"

"Essentially, he’s wanted for the murder of the deputy head of the Sanitation Departnt at City Hall and a councillor from the Jordan family,"

he said.

"Oh, I know who you’re talking about,"

The novelist imdiately replied.

The incident had caused a stir because it had been many years since anyone dared to lay a hand on officials of that level.

If the Security Bureau hadn’t already determined that the incident was purely accidental and that the killer hadn’t been targeting City Hall, the matter wouldn’t have been resolved with a re warrant.

It would have at least triggered the Security Bureau into full gear, with the Special Action Team storming through, sweeping the Old City District to the border area, questioning every stone along the way.

"So, can it be revoked?"

Liu Zheng asked hopefully.

Even though Fisherman had provided a solution, it was cumberso, and since he was a man of the old tis, there was no guarantee it would work.

"It’s not easy,"

The novelist shook her head with difficulty.

Her family did not have a strong direct connection with the Security Bureau; they could pull so strings to help people out, but revoking a warrant was a bit beyond their reach.

Particularly since she had decided to abandon short stories, her family’s support had dwindled, otherwise she wouldn’t have been living in an average district like Green Garden Mad City.

Of course, Mad City was not exactly average.

As far as the novelist knew, it housed a considerable number of eccentrics from major families and races. She was rather conventional compared to the rest.

"What if I could get the Sanitation Departnt’s forgiveness and weaken the Jordan family’s influence?"

Liu Zheng shared Fisherman’s strategy with the novelist.

"If you can accomplish those two things, then it might be possible. I’ll ask soone to communicate with the Security Bureau, and there shouldn’t be any problems,"

she said after so thought.

"Great, I will inform you when the ti cos,"

Liu Zheng said.

"Do you need my help with dealing with the Jordan family?"
