I! Cleaner!

Nicole... that female reporter from The Sun News, a Level One Cleaner at the Gemini Sub-bureau, the Aquarius Director's plant left in the Capital City?

After asking a few more questions about the details and confirming that the Nicole the Prime Minister's wife mentioned was indeed the reporter he knew, Leon couldn't help but narrow his eyes, habitually speculating about her ability.

...

He remembered when he was undercover in the Rebels, she was the daughter of the old Owen couple, but now she had become the niece of the Prime Minister's wife. These two identities were obviously conflicting, yet the memories of the people involved seemed accurate.

So if he guessed correctly, she should have an Anomalous Object that could "intervene" in other people's memories, forcibly becoming a family member.

Judging by the effect of this object, it was estimated to be one of the unsuccessful experiments by the Aquarius Director before creating [If Only], unable to completely "replace" a person, only forcibly "adding" the identity of a target relative. Given its practicality, it was left to her.

Tsk... hands that can touch anything, a Yangwei that eliminates presence and provides soul vision, and an unknown Anomalous Object that forcibly adds a family identity... *If thought carefully, these abilities were simply those of a born spy.*

After silently noting down these important pieces of intelligence, Leon did not fully trust the Prime Minister's wife's words. Instead, he looked into her eyes and asked seriously,

"Madam Marsha, such an important matter, shouldn't you have come to our bureau at the first opportunity? If you hadn't met me today, were you planning to keep pretending you didn't know anything?"

"I... I can't go to your bureau..."

The Prime Minister's wife bit her lower lip upon hearing this, speaking with eyes full of shame,

"Back when I met with Pioni... during an encounter, someone discovered us. If I go to your bureau again, he'll reveal my affairs with Pioni. The reason I could avoid the repercussions this time was because Pioni gave me a token of... a gift. I... couldn't discuss it with Stephen.

Furthermore, she also noticed something amiss when I was probing Nicole. Nicole asked me to meet and said she only wanted a convenient identity for her work, that she wouldn't harm me or my family, and that I should keep my mouth shut and say nothing, or else she would..."

"Understood."

Hearing this, Leon could not help but have a bad impression of that female reporter, furrowing his brows and saying,

"You were personally threatened by her, right? That if you dared to speak out, she'd harm you or your family?"

"Uh... no..."

The Prime Minister's wife shook her head awkwardly and said,

"She said if I exposed her identity, she would reveal my secret meetings with Earl Owen and the Marquis of Rune..."

"..."

6...

*Feeling too exasperated to comment on the overly chaotic private life of the Prime Minister's wife, Leon was stunned into silence. After a while, he promised expressionlessly,*

"I will investigate this matter as soon as possible, but during my investigation, our previous conversations must remain confidential, and not even the Prime Minister should be informed. Also, do not contact that Nicole recklessly, understood?"

"Understood."

Seeing Leon give a definitive answer, the Prime Minister's wife couldn't help but feel delighted, smoothing her skirt with a hopeful expression,

"Um... I have one more question. Recently, Pioni..."

"Shh! Silence!"

Not wanting to further involve himself with the lady's private life, Leon turned to see the Prime Minister walking towards them after finishing his speech on stage. He took the initiative to stand up and greet him.

"Prime Minister, we meet again."

"So it's you, Duke."

After squinting hard to recognize the identity of the "handsome face" talking so happily with his wife, the Prime Minister's initially displeased expression softened slightly, and he greeted with a smile,

"I didn't expect you would attend the Bridge Public School's parent meeting... and this is..."

"This is my sister, Anna, and our brother William, who is in Class 1A, along with our sister Melanie."

"Ah, Miss Anna."

Noticing that Anna seemed a bit reserved, the plump Prime Minister smiled kindly. He didn't engage in overly enthusiastic gestures but instead reached into the right-side pocket of his belly, took out six or seven pieces of milk candy, and handed them over, winking at the two young ones.

"Since it's a private encounter, I won't make it too formal... I happened to have some candy on me, so consider it a small gift. I hope these healthy little lions won't mind."

"You're too kind."

As Anna accepted the candy on behalf of her siblings, the plump Prime Minister wiped the sweat from his brow with a handkerchief before sitting down and smilingly asking,

"Earlier, on stage, I saw the Duke chatting happily with Marsha. Unfortunately, I was interrupted when I came over. I wonder if such an interesting topic would allow me to join?"

"It's really not a particularly interesting topic."

Upon hearing the Prime Minister's words, the Prime Minister's wife's face immediately tightened, visibly nervous. Leon, however, was unperturbed, smiling casually, switching to the [Master Performer], and said seamlessly,

"We were just talking about the education of children. I admired your long-term vision in education, then shared amusing stories with Madame Marsha about parenting."

*Was that all? You look quite handsome, have outstanding charisma, and are young yet hold a high position, just the type Marsha likes... Did she not try to do anything to you?*

After staring into Leon's eyes for a moment, the Prime Minister observed that his gaze and expression were completely natural, not at all like someone telling lies. Half of his concern eased. However, when he turned and saw his wife's relieved expression, his eyes narrowed slightly again.

"Interesting stories... Regrettably, although I gave a good speech on stage, because of my busy work, I haven't had much involvement in the education of my three children..."

After sighing slightly, the plump Prime Minister smiled and said,

"Coincidentally, I'm quite interested in amusing stories like these. Why don't you tell another one?"

"..."

*Still probing... Goodness, so this Prime Minister is actually a jealous type in private?*

*Feeling a slight annoyance from the vinegar-scented thoughts of the plump Prime Minister, Leon looked at the Prime Minister's wife and the jealous Prime Minister in front of him and, not wanting to stir up trouble, nodded slightly,*

"Telling another is no issue... mainly about the survey from the other day. My brother and sister filled out very interesting content..."

?!!!

Seeing Leon reach for the folded survey on the table as if about to unroll it, Melanie, who was enjoying her milk candy, couldn't help but feel a chill run through her and secretly kicked William's leg.

*Quick, quick, quick! It's your turn! Now!*

*Sigh... such a hassle.*

*Glancing at his soiled pants after being kicked, William swallowed the milk candy that was still in his mouth and jumped down from the chair. Amid the surprised looks from the grown-ups, he took out a small ring made of fabric strips and grass leaves and slipped it on the chubby little finger of the Prime Minister's youngest daughter unceremoniously.*

"Marry me?"

Seeing the little ring on her finger, Charlotte, also enjoying her candy, happily laughed. Without any hesitation, she hugged William tightly and gave him a big, sticky, candy-sweet kiss on his cheek.

"Yes!"
