Chapter 114: Do You Have to Take the Civil Service Exam in Another World Too?
“You don’t need to worry too much about the merits required for promotion. I’ll arrange that properly for you.” Bishop Beckett raised his hand to signal Leon to sit down, then lowered his voice and said, “Let me explain the script first. You know Jay Sid, the original cadre of River Valley County, right?”
Leon nodded. “People on the street all called him Jero. I heard he was dealt with internally.”
The cadre of River Valley County within the Earl’s sphere of influence, Jero—whose real name was Jay Sid—had already been mentioned to Leon by Father Auden when the latter recommended himself as Leon’s advisor. The priest had told him that the man had most likely been eliminated by the Earl.
After Leon joined the Earl’s faction, he had also discovered that the cadre position in River Valley County was currently vacant. River Valley County was temporarily being managed by Johnny Wellman, who had originally been in charge of maritime transport.
This largely confirmed what the priest had said.
“That’s right. Do you remember the assassin you encountered at Potter Manor?” Bishop Beckett prompted.
“Of course,” Leon replied.
“That man was actually an assassin trained by our organization. He worked under Jay. Jay had always been worried that after the Earl took over South Harbor County, he would subdue Potter and let him continue managing it. So Jay privately sent an assassin to kill Potter, nearly causing a conflict with our arrangements.”
Bishop Beckett carefully explained the events of that day to Leon.
