Chapter 768: Chapter 530 Silver Wolf: Your news is too shocking, I need a moment.
Silver Wolf set down the folder in his hand and looked towards the door.
Accompanied by a sound like tinkling silver bells, a hand as white and smooth as jade pushed open the office door.
There was no need to see the face; just from that nauseating, affected laugh, he knew who it was.
The acting vice-captain of Enforcement Team One, Bai Shan Yiyi of the Caucasian race.
Silver Wolf’s blue eyes stared intensely at the door, as if trying to pierce through the wooden panel and nail her face.
Others could also feel the brewing storm, and the office, which had been as lively as a marketplace, quickly quieted down.
Everyone pretended to be busy while trying not to make any noise.
Outside, Bai Shan Yiyi finally stopped dawdling and pushed the door open, followed by two of her Kobold subordinates.
Though they were humanoid, they weren’t Kobolds; they were members of the Dog Sealing Clan.
Kobolds had human-like builds but retained many animal features, and they resembled reptiles more than dogs.
In contrast, the Dog Sealing Clan had heads identical to dogs, yet their bodies were entirely human below the neck.
These two from the Dog Sealing Clan were identical twins, in both looks and stature.
"So quiet; such a stifling atmosphere isn’t good for work. Come, come, I’ll treat everyone to afternoon tea to relax a bit."
Bai Shan Yiyi glanced around the office, her gaze lingering on Silver Wolf for a few seconds before she said with a smile.
After speaking, she signaled with her eyes to the two Dog Sealing Clan members behind her, who then understood and started distributing boxes.
Each person received the same: a cup of coffee and a box of sweets.
"Wow, it’s Unlucky Coffee; Captain Bai is really generous," remarked a team member holding up a cup of coffee.
Unlucky Coffee was a chain that had become popular in recent years, supposedly founded by one of the original founders of Misfit Coffee after a falling out.
It positioned itself as affordable, offering everything Misfit Coffee did, but at lower prices and without such stringent purchasing conditions.
So, although the taste was somewhat inferior and new products were launched slower than Misfit Coffee, it still captured much of Misfit’s market.
Even though it was more budget-friendly, it was still considered a premium item, something government employees could afford, but wouldn’t splurge on for treats.
"You guys work so hard usually; it wouldn’t be right if I were stingy. Money’s meant to be spent. As long as I’m vice-captain, rest assured, you won’t be short on food and drinks," Bai Shan Yiyi said with a laugh.
This woman, who was nearing two hundred years old, still looked like a young girl, with long silver hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.
Her features were also delicately pretty, and she resembled a silver-throated long-tailed mountain finch.
However, her manner of speaking and acting was very forthright, like a boorish old man.
This contrast gave her a unique charm, and coupled with her looks and family background, she had quite a number of admirers within the City Supervision Department.
Those Dog Sealing Clan twins were her die-hard fans, never disagreeing with her wishes.
It was hard to understand how Bai Shan Yiyi managed to make both of them serve one woman without conflict.
"Captain Bai is generous."
"Captain Bai is impressive."
"Captain Bai..."
With mouths fed and knowing she was indeed their leader, the office workers wisely started to flatter her.
Amidst the rainbow of praises, Bai Shan Yiyi couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile, her eyes occasionally glancing at Silver Wolf.
Facing her provocation, Silver Wolf only sneered.
Others might not understand her, but did he not?
This woman’s boldness was merely a facade; the small favors she granted were given readily, but when it came to real matters, she couldn’t handle a single one.
Before she became acting vice-captain, she caused a huge mess. To avoid accountability, she insinuated that a temp worker take care of it for her.
When things were exposed later, she pushed all the blame onto that temp, which led to his immediate dismissal.
If that were all, it wouldn’t be so bad, since making a temp a scapegoat was a common practice.
But after the fact, not only did Bai Shan Yiyi fail to compensate the temp’s family, she even eliminated them to protect her image, not even sparing their unhatched eggs.
Although she handled it discreetly, there are no secrets in this world, and almost everyone in Enforcement Team One knew.
While it’s normal for a leader to be a bit strict and lacking in empathy, going too far would only lead subordinates not to align with her.
Bai Shan Yiyi’s abilities weren’t great, either. Without the support of her team, she naturally couldn’t achieve much.
So even though she took the opportunity when the former vice-captain was injured to step up as acting vice-captain, there was no chance she’d be made permanent.
The former vice-captain was far more popular and had stronger backing, making it impossible to secretly get rid of him.
Hence, Bai Shan Yiyi set her sights on the vice-captain position in Enforcement Team Two.
"Lao Liu, go get yourself a portion too."
Silver Wolf said to Lie Chang.
Lie Chang used to be number six in the arena, so Silver Wolf called him Lao Liu.
"Huh? Boss, you know me—I’m not fond of coffee."
Lie Chang slurped and said.
He really didn’t like coffee, but he loved sweets.
If someone else offered, he wouldn’t refuse, and might even ask for more, but he couldn’t accept something from Bai Shan Yiyi.
The greatest virtue of the canine kind is loyalty.
