Chapter 614: 197. Convicted at a glance_2

Noland Lee nodded and pointed to one of the metal boxes:

“Let’s take this task. I’m sure.”

Jenela opened the metal box Noland Lee pointed to, took out the task order and read it aloud:

“This is a bounty task issued by the captain of the Conch Vessel. He suspects that there is a spy from other captains on the ship. He hopes to find the spy on board before the next sailing. There are two weeks left before his next departure. As long as you can find at least one spy or prove that all crew members have no issues, then your task will be completed. This can bring you a remuneration of 1,000 gold coins. After deducting the agency fee, you will receive 900 gold coins.”

Jenela briefly introduced the task and handed the task order to Noland Lee:

“There is plenty of time for this bounty task. You can slowly search for clues. But please note, do not resort to violence in the Inner Circle, and do not use spells in the Core Circle. Good luck, Jarvis.”

Noland Lee took the task order, stood up, weighed the scroll in his hand and said:

“Thank you, Jenela. I’ll be right back.”

Jenela was a little surprised:

“What? Right back?”

Noland Lee headed towards the door, waving his hand behind him:

“No need to send me off, I’m in a hurry.”

Before Jenela could stand up to see him out, Noland Lee opened the door and walked out, heading straight away from the Island Affairs Department.

Jenela was somewhat confused, not understanding what Noland Lee meant by “I’ll be right back.”

“What a strange wizard…”

Jenela sent the metal box on the table into the glass pipeline, continuing to deal with her official business.

Half an hour later.

“Knock knock knock.”

Someone knocked on Jenela’s office door.

The person who entered was Noland Lee.

Jenela saw him, raised her eyebrows and couldn’t help but ask:

“Jarvis, is the task too difficult?”

“No, I have already found the spy.” Noland Lee placed the task order book on the other party’s tabletop and made a “please read” gesture:

“There are comments written by the Captain of the Conch Vessel in the evaluation column of the task order. My action report is also written on the task order. Take a look for yourself. You can also verify the authenticity of this order with the Captain of the Conch Vessel. But please, hurry, I’m pressed for time.”

Jenela frowned, not immediately grasping Noland Lee’s train of thought.

She picked up the order book, shaking it open to read through.

The Captain of the Conch Vessel wrote this passage in the evaluation column:

“An astonishing investigative process, brilliant reasoning, and I was deeply impressed by Enforcement Wizard Jarvis’s detection methods! Jarvis has already helped me find the spy, so please pay the bounty to him, Island Affairs Department. He deserves it!”

The excessively positive praise and six exclamation marks made Jenela think that the evaluation in the order book was fake.

Noland Lee’s action report written on the order was so simple that it raised Jenela’s doubts:

“I bumped into the second mate of the Conch Vessel and a group of thugs on the way. I followed them and found out the second mate was colluding with the Seabird Vessel and caught the other party red-handed. That’s it.”

Jenela spaced out for a while, slightly dazed as she put down the order book and looked at Noland Lee across the table:

“You happened to encounter the second mate meeting with the Seabird Vessel, and you just found the spy like that?!”

“Yes, Jenela.” Noland Lee tapped his wrist watch with his fingertip:

“You can verify it with the Captain of the Conch Vessel right now, but again, don’t waste time. I’ve heard that your pay as a bounty agent is by the piece, right? The more bounty tasks you issue and get completed, the more commission you earn. Listen to me, Jenela, cherish the opportunity to work with me and cooperate with my work. Don’t waste time. How much commission you can make from working with me depends on how many tasks you can give me in a day. Do you understand? Time is money, my friend.”

Jenela looked a little dazed. The endorsement from Selena made her believe that Noland Lee was indeed telling the truth. Still, no one had ever managed to find a spy among more than 200 crew members in such a short time!

This feat seemed a little unreal to Jenela, too bizarre, like watching a staged play.

“Thump thump.” Noland Lee reached out to knock on the edge of the table.

Jenela came back to her senses:

“Oh, I… I need to verify it. Wait a moment, Jarvis. I believe you really completed the task and didn’t forge the order book. But I have to verify it. Sorry, I must do it.”

“Please, do.” Noland Lee crossed his legs and sat in the chair, with his hands clasped on his lap.

Jenela left her office with the task order, walking hurriedly and quickly.

About five minutes later, she came rushing back from the other end of the corridor, opening the office door with a face full of shock.

“I checked, Jarvis. Unbelievably, you found the spy in just half an hour.”

Jenela sat down, smoothing the hem of her robe below her hips.

Noland Lee raised his hand to stop her from speaking:

“Cherish time, Jenela, cherish the opportunity to make money. Now, help me find the next bounty task that requires finding a spy.”

“Alright, alright, I’m on it.” Jenela’s eyes lit up, she seemed to understand Noland Lee’s intention and confidence!

The Enforcement Wizard appointed by Deputy Principal Selena had some unknown abilities. She would definitely cherish the opportunity to work with him.
