"President Noah, please wait a moment!"

When the calm yet familiar voice to anyone in the Tokyo region sounded from the suddenly lit display screen, and the image on the screen came into the view of everyone present, every single person widened their eyes in shock.

Almost in the next second, all the presidents of the police companies sitting around the conference table stood up abruptly, in a panic.

A look of surprise also appeared on Noah's face, and his eyes were filled with unexpectedness as he looked at the image displayed on the screen.

The person who appeared on the screen was a breathtakingly beautiful girl, dressed entirely in pure white, as if covered in a layer of snow, with silver hair.

She was none other than the ruler of the Tokyo region—Seitenshi.

Behind Seitenshi, Tendo Kikunosuke followed like a shadow, his gaze meeting Noah's in the first instant and clashing, as if sparks were flying, making the surrounding temperature seem to drop.

"Please don't be too formal, everyone."

In the snow-white palace, Seitenshi, sitting on a pure white chair, spoke in a gentle tone.

"This time, I am just your client. If everyone can listen to me seriously, I would be very grateful."

Hearing Seitenshi's words, everyone's expressions relaxed a bit, but no one sat down. Everyone showed the most basic respect to the girl who was both nominally and truly the ruler of the Tokyo region.

"I am very sorry, Mr. Noah." Seitenshi turned her gaze to Noah, nodding slightly to express her apology.

"As Mr. Noah said, this time it was our mistake. We invited 'Fairy Tail' without considering their situation and added such a requirement, which was indeed a bit impolite to 'Fairy Tail.' But I hope Mr. Noah can understand."

As Seitenshi's words spread, everyone's gazes shifted again, focusing on Noah.

Since Seitenshi had already given him a way out, would this sharp and prominent president of 'Fairy Tail' give her face, or would he make the situation awkward?

Thinking of this, everyone present couldn't help but want to see the temperament and character of this exceptionally young and famous figure.

Fortunately, they were not disappointed. Noah was not the kind of arrogant young man who would seize an opportunity and make a big fuss.

"I only hope that Lady Seitenshi will consider carefully whether it is really necessary to involve 'Fairy Tail' in this mission." Noah shifted his gaze from Tendo Kikunosuke to Seitenshi.

"If you really want 'Fairy Tail' to participate, I hope Lady Seitenshi can come up with a method that satisfies both sides."

Hearing this, many people present had a new appreciation for Noah.

He could see the situation clearly, not just pursue the issue, and also not be intimidated by power, standing up to the ruler of the Tokyo region. An ordinary young person would definitely not be able to do this.

So, if just now everyone had only gained a bit of understanding of Noah's strength in defeating the supervisor, now they had gained some understanding of Noah's character and methods.

"I understand." After a moment of contemplation, Seitenshi nodded.

"I will start explaining the mission now. As for how 'Fairy Tail' will cooperate with this mission, I hope Mr. Noah can come to the palace later, and we can discuss the strategy again. How about that?"

"Come to the palace?" Noah raised an eyebrow, looking at Tendo Kikunosuke with a half-smile.

"Is this the idea of Mr. Tendo Kikunosuke?"

Seitenshi was taken aback.

Not just Seitenshi, but everyone else who heard the tension in Noah's tone towards Tendo Kikunosuke was also stunned.

Only Muki, standing in the corner, looked at Noah in a dazed manner, as if deep in thought.

While everyone else was silent, Tendo Kikunosuke looked deeply at Noah and said something that made everyone even more surprised.

"President Noah, I admit there is some enmity between us, but you should understand that I would not bring personal grudges into official matters."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Enmity?

These two have enmity?

Noah did not respond, but turned his head and returned to his seat.

"Then, let's start explaining the mission!" Seitenshi's expression relaxed slightly, then returned to her usual self.

"This mission is actually quite simple. I hope everyone can eliminate an original animal that has infiltrated the Tokyo region and recover a box from its body."

As she spoke, a window appeared on the screen displaying Seitenshi, showing a lead-silver suitcase marked with the words "Mission Objective," and a number indicating the reward for completing the mission.

The box itself looked quite ordinary, with nothing particularly special about it.

However, the reward amount marked next to it mixed confusion into the atmosphere.

Of course, it was not because the reward was too low.

On the contrary, the reward for completing the mission was extremely high.

So high that it was completely unbelievable that just eliminating an original animal and recovering an ordinary box could earn such a reward.

Suddenly, the scene fell into absolute silence.

Apart from the police officers who were used to dealing with death, the rest were all presidents of police companies.

To reach this position, even if they were not particularly shrewd, they were still people who could keenly sense something amiss at important times.

And this mission was clearly very amiss.

However, Seitenshi did not seem to have any intention of providing further explanation, closing her eyes and speaking to herself.

"If there are no questions, please start working on this now!"

Immediately, Muki raised her hand, about to ask something, when Noah suddenly pressed her shoulder.

"Hmm?" Muki looked at Noah in surprise.

"What is it?"

Noah did not speak but stared intently at a certain position at the conference table, drawing everyone's attention to that direction.

"Ah!"

In the next moment, two presidents of police companies standing next to the position Noah was staring at let out startled cries and stepped back.

"Oh?"

At the same time, a voice rang out from that position.

"I thought I would have to remind someone myself before anyone noticed me, but it turns out there are people with such keen senses. How interesting."

The speaker was a tall man.

A man at least 190 cm tall, with very slender limbs and body, wearing a wine-red tuxedo with fine vertical stripes, a top hat, and a clown-like mask, dressed in a very peculiar manner.

This strange man casually placed his feet on the conference table, sitting in a position that had been empty just a moment ago, shocking those around him.

"You... when did you..."

"Is there another one?" Without giving the surrounding people time to be shocked, Noah said in a cold tone.

"Let her come out too..."

"Even this you noticed?" The man let out a sharp, strange laugh and stood up.

"Since that's the case, Hina, come out and say hello to everyone!"

As he spoke, a small figure suddenly dropped from the ceiling onto the conference table.
