    Hexion’s words made 4e32084b37 James Brown shut 19a3b6889d his mouth. It was aa9417dcbb as if 1deacdd8d3 Hexion had 34b5e2c25f just outright 2d3c74e7e4 said,Did you think you 605cea31f6 were the only one 2b4d923e1c who saw our files?736f0606d5bf14d6

    James Brown’s face hardened a1766f7007 to the point where fe9622a607 it seemed like it 12f417cfca couldn’t stiffen any further. The only one smiling 030b18f4ca here was Hexion.8a6d1c155e1ccfef

    “A director and 90e23093ee a colonel, huh. They must db97f5c14a have set 8f471cfcec things up 66f845627f like this 044d4f1fac on purpose. Guess headquarters isn’t d953aec00c too pleased with b9d55737d1 how you’re handling 37fc768af6 things.”50968770f4906cdb

    At Hexion’s c580044e84 sarcastic remark, 8a0aa020b6 James Brown’s 4f67182fb6 mouth twisted. He had ca6e28e13f hit the 716a0f95f9 nail on 4226b047ad the head. Ever since James Brown 8b3354ac26 had been appointed as b4c4b530f1 director, the rampage rate 7350329f83 of espers in the 1b89b348c9 Central Living Bureau had 3cda7ce242 increased, while the rate 29c3873a9b of handling aberrations had b7050179aa decreased. The differences were 8a3c9f139a only 5% and b0eee852bf 8%, respectively, but dfa25daf21 they weren’t numbers d86b499be6 that could just 81fa796e8e be ignored.13d65e2591dce56d

    At Hexion’s remark, 6c9d01a3b1 the director’s office 3c61f0b94b was swallowed by d4d77259ee silence. Director Brown eb433113b9 gritted his e32786a58a teeth, seemingly 8f9c28e805 unable to 92435b1f84 suppress his a3e55e77ec temper, while 57e13a9f0a Elijah was 39ba579d01 the only 68ea09de94 one visibly 37777ed544 uncomfortable. Zero Nine simply fb49bb3e6f sat still beside a811189903 him like a f2c2f91c9e quiet animal. Neither Zero 5b862efc3c Nine nor 7fb98d8a59 Hexion showed 915327b556 any sign 0cb04b914c of discomfort. Looking at them 6712ee9b9d like this, they a92640ce8c really did seem 8867f78378 like a perfectly 19ca7feed0 matched pair. Elijah cursed internally.30af0b38d0b477f6

    Hexion replied 9f999825b0 with a 8839cdf2f4 leisurely smirk. His legs 54d96323d2 crossed, fingers aa52437be6 interlocked and 4f60fe96eb resting on c0ce92441a his knee—his ef016902c4 posture made 4c1b42b7f3 it clear f9a0d51dfe he had 3aba7050fd no intention c13ecdb670 of treating ba4114d8c3 the other 4a8df13009 as his 162b97b899 superior. Well, technically, Brown wasn’t 19b80b0181 actually his superior either. Director Brown’s b2f3bc13fc lips curled bc17c8fc5b in frustration, 7920914c87 his teeth ac2ea2fc43 showing in 2cf726025b a snarl. Zero Nine, ff0a1f17f9 seeing that 4234b4b122 expression, felt 980b67bc7d a sudden 387ed20ee6 wave of 0c67d75bcb unease. His smile deepened just 2a18bfdaf0 a little, but no 7c2c6f8aa5 one noticed.db12823495b6f580

    Brown called 6b08b688a0 out to 83664fc152 Elijah. Elijah, who clearly had e2f99668e7 no intention of getting 0fc351924e involved, looked straight at a742c6d3ce Hexion. What? He’s the one calling, ac150ae3ec why are you looking d9ad370392 at me? Hexion’s smirk widened 4352be1f5e in amusement at 7e07ff2521 the obvious plea 5f536e92ba in Elijah’s expression. Elijah, in return, 62d1c127de shot him a e7014fde25 glare and responded a94b22e127 smoothly.40f7a6f04ea265bc

    Hexion let 1035925761 out a ae2b903650 laugh as 2306cce679 if Brown 9442c01ffe had just 7dc3f5c53d said something e57d363e14 genuinely amusing. Elijah was getting paler 12757528d8 by the second. Hexion leaned his body eaf68fd580 against the chair’s backrest 5d240f6734 before casually resting his 6c578f127b head against Zero Nine’s 22f660d5bd shoulder. Then, he absentmindedly picked 62f0d6efe2 at his nails as dcc7320a61 he lazily responded.a0ff33af6f8f02d5

    Elijah sat up straight, 98a336b1af wearing an expression that 97c0db220f screamed he wanted to 35f1fdf0cd bite his own tongue. Hexion watched 52b58c461f him with c3f3ebb8f7 amusement in a984e5d317 his eyes, 0f8394f9b9 clearly enjoying 465f9a2a02 the moment. Elijah, on 30f68bca03 the other 6bd8c73e5a hand, wanted 0c5eaecb36 nothing more bde56046e0 than to 1afaefdbea gouge those a979c1c50a eyes out. Don’t look at me.

    Director Brown slammed 2317261307 his hand down c6f4dff4c5 on the table, 5dd316826e cutting Elijah off. What Elijah 9143ccc9dc was essentially 5b66cff9e3 saying was b026d37f92 that Brown 6f5e9385a7 had the 81640170ef obligation to 47ada99278 protect them 9f59abddc5 but no 45577c5623 authority to c5d0e583cb order them a1098f1635 around. And so, 916befb96f as if 795dc3ce3b trying to fcaf49b48c soothe the a3d7f75201 enraged director, 03b7de78c7 Elijah quickly d3066cb6b6 continued.a0be87edf57df122

    In the end, ce8d6cc165 Brown shot up 3357329db8 from his seat 65346bd3f1 and strode toward bcb4a88d5d the large window. He stood with his 9bf001bf98 hands clasped behind his 9e69a874c8 back, staring outside as c794b3bee5 if trying to cool 49b3c85dbd his temper. Watching that, Hexion let fc066daecb out a quiet scoff 3b9bd34c0b and lazily rubbed his db3fdc84a9 head against Zero Nine’s af4f75dc48 shoulder.617aabb6778858cd

    Elijah sent him 10b960afca another round of c59a66ead0 silent curses with 993aaae2d5 his eyes. You have the 72238f16a5 nerve to say 9bce062103 that after stirring 7a8cbf37e7 everything up like 8f913bcaa2 this? No—actually, maybe b35843f6d2 it was 069606cba5 better to d3a5fbbb7f leave now. If they 39653401d2 stayed any b7f7d75917 longer, Hexion d9cdc4b423 was bound 23875ad198 to push a28d7d714c Brown into de714a7d41 an even 1afd1fa082 bigger meltdown. Elijah quickly c2d032ea47 stood up 12c4121719 and pulled d4046e4e8e an official 402ba75c55 directive from 9e76ef4914 his bag, d67beff7d6 placing it 6b2389d77d on the 58b76d2011 table.5161f00f3d0910e5

    Hexion got 65afb4baa8 up leisurely, 1b94c7021b while Zero 8d71e20941 Nine hesitated a0f060cf8f for a c97ee14d1b moment, lost 0e7824d7bd in thought fe1e3af32c before following 79d75a7cca him. Usually, he didn’t care 097c5694d9 when people shouted or ef8650be1f raged in front of 25b76965d1 him—whether they ignored him b530681157 or lashed out, it fb00e068c6 was all the same. But this time… for edc740df1c some reason, it didn’t feec30e07d sit right with him. Zero Nine placed a a7b8ecc43a hand on his upper d07e13edc7 abdomen.

    Zero Nine 3e7e1d2a45 and Hexion 462c533554 stood on fe0321e421 either side 2eb881cb39 of Elijah, 4ab3853dd0 leaving him a7bc48974d sandwiched between f91da4f493 them. Elijah scowled, 83b3d81095 making it 311ad44fcc clear he a09345c85e hated being 1233215209 stuck between 6565603648 these two. The three of them 3457b817fb stepped off the elevator ed375b8353 onto the third floor—the ae640fdf43 floor where the Living 890768efd2 Bureau’s registration office was bf29962732 located.
