Chapter 113: Promotion and a Raise—Becoming the Director
Two months later, at the Inquisition.
Leon was summoned to the Director’s Office by Bishop Beckett. When he entered and locked the door behind him, he saw Bishop Beckett take out an exquisite small wooden box and place it on the desk.
“Sir, what is this?” Leon asked.
“A gift Baron Turner asked me to pass on to you. Open it and take a look.” Bishop Beckett gestured toward the box.
“Baron Turner?” Leon was slightly surprised.
Baron Turner was an old aristocrat of considerable wealth and connections in Caster Town, highly influential throughout South Harbor County.
At the same time, he had once been one of Mr. Griffin Potter’s longtime clients and protectors. However, during the Earl’s move to have Bishop Beckett infiltrate South Harbor County, he chose to accept the Earl’s terms and abandon Potter.
The Inquisition’s eventual control of Potter Manor had also been thanks to the intelligence he provided.
Now, through Bishop Beckett’s introduction, he had become Leon’s client, and Leon had met him once before.
