Reborn: Imperial Officer Promotion Guide

“Hiccup…!”

Late at night, a drunk More Bandes stumbled back to his room.

These days he goes to seven or eight stores almost every day, taking turns to enjoy fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women.

Most importantly, all expenses were covered by his new boss, Helheim.

Can it not be beautiful?

The special investigation into Badda's disappearance was concluded three days ago.

While cooperating with the investigation, More Bandes revealed many of Badda's criminal facts to the investigation team. As a result, the investigation team successfully found a lot of evidence of Badda's corruption and abuse of power in his private residence.

The testimony of other secretaries also confirmed this point - Moore Bandes had colluded with the court in advance.

In addition, Badda's reputation has always been bad, so Mor Bandes naturally put all the blame on Badda.

As a white glove, he got away with it without being held accountable.

The result of the investigation was just as the evidence showed - Badda was secretly dealt with by criminals due to his own improper behavior, and his property was also looted.

Of course, all the private secretaries who lost their masters were fired on the same day the investigation ended, including More Bandes.

But the next day, Mor Bandes became Helheim's second private secretary as agreed.

The reason for hiring More Bandes was "to better understand and familiarize himself with the work that Badda was responsible for."

It was not uncommon for private secretaries to change their masters, and since Badda had already disappeared, naturally no one questioned it.

As for other private secretaries, Hull introduced new jobs for them, and the treatment was even better than before.

——This is also the reason why they are willing to obey More Bandes' orders and collude with each other.

Although he didn't know why Hull had so much power or where he got such strong connections, More Bandes heard that it was mainly Colonel Gillett Magnus of the Northern Fortress who was running around looking for a new way out for them.

Moreover, on the day when More Bandes was officially appointed as the second private secretary by Hull, he received an unexpected huge sum of money from Hull - it was the activity fund distributed by Hull himself.

More Bandes also used his talent and squandered it beautifully in just a few days.

"Hiccup! This feels so good! Is there a better master in this world than Helheim? Definitely not!" Mor Bandes was lying on the bed drunk, still muttering to himself.

On the day of his first meeting with Helheim, Mor Bandes encountered the greatest crisis of his life and was also forced to endure great humiliation. It would be impossible for him to not feel angry and unwilling.

But in the past few days, I have been served with fine wine, delicious food and beautiful women, and I have tried all kinds of activities that I have never experienced before.

At this moment, More Bandes wished he could kneel down in front of his financial sponsor and kowtow to him. If necessary, he would also be willing to give away his anus.

Otherwise, you won’t feel at ease spending the money.

"...Hmm! Receipt... Receipt..."

More Bandes got up from the bed in a daze.

Helheim had said before that no matter how much money he spent, he had to submit the receipts within three days in order to be reimbursed.

I heard that Hull was very busy these days because of its involvement in the Ministry of Resources' major review.

He has been running around the desert these days, apparently colluding with people outside the city.

There was no time to meet with More Bandes until late in the evening.

But More Bandes doesn't care about any of that.

Now he just wants to quickly settle the bills of the past few days.

In case the other party refuses to acknowledge the debt after too late, if More Bandes has to pay such a large amount of money out of his own pocket, his little daughter's tuition for the Imperial Capital College next year will be wiped out immediately.

Mor Bandes stumbled out of bed.

He took a bottle of specialty wine from the bedside table and staggered to Hull's room.

"Sorry..." After opening the door of Hull's room, More Bandes immediately opened his mouth.

"You...what happened to you? How come you look so thin after not seeing you for a few days?"

When I opened the door, what came into view was Hull's skinny figure with dry skin, as if he was seriously ill and about to die.

Don't get me wrong, More Bandes doesn't care about his financial sponsor at all. He hopes that the latter will die sooner.

That way he could be free.

Of course, not being able to continue squandering money at will is also a problem. Well, More Bandes is still a little worried, mainly because he is worried that if Hull dies, he will not be able to continue his life of debauchery.

At this moment, More Bandes was completely sober.

"I was wondering who it was. There's nothing to be surprised about. I've been fasting during this period, so it's normal for me to lose some weight."

"Fasting? Is it because of the religion you believe in...?"

Some religions in the empire do have a so-called Ramadan, which is a religious tradition that prohibits eating before sunset.

"I guess so, but I mainly want to experience the plight of the people outside the city firsthand, hoping to better understand their current situation. I used to go without food for several days on the battlefield, but this is the first time I've experienced this level of hunger in a non-wartime environment, and it always feels a bit fresh."

“……” More Bandes stood there in a daze.

Is this some new and perverted way of playing? As expected, Helheim's thinking is different from others.

Compared to him, I am considered a normal person.

"It's been a few days since we last met, but you seem to be doing well, eh?"

"..."More Bandes gave a bitter smile.

He partyed almost day and night these days and even gained five kilograms.

He would hold a golden dragon in his mouth and let the beauty take it with her tongue, use high-end wine as foot washing water for the beauty in black stockings, and then lick it all clean drop by drop. In addition to this, he also tried many new ways of playing that he had never experienced before.

I repeat this kind of wasteful extravagance every day. It’s not my own money, but it feels really good to spend it.

Compared with his financial sponsor who was like an ascetic monk, More Bandes was too embarrassed to take out the wine he brought.

He couldn't help but hide the wine behind him, hoping that Hull didn't find it.

"So? What were the results?"

"I'm... I'm very sorry. Um... I haven't achieved any special results yet. Nightclubs and entertainment venues require a relationship of mutual trust. If consumption cannot continue..."

More Bandes, who was stammering in his defense, was already sweating profusely.

He did follow Hull's instructions and went around various nightclubs and brothels with prostitutes.

The money was spent according to Hull's instructions. Normally, one should not feel fear when following the instructions of a superior.

But the contrast between myself standing in heaven and my financial sponsor who is in hell is too strong.

What he drank before was not wine at all, it was clearly the blood of his new master!

The money was spent, but the work was not done, and no results were produced.

Given Helheim's personality, he might just kill himself.

Thinking of this, More Bandes swallowed hard.

"… Really? There's nothing we can do about it. Now is the time to invest money in the early stages. I actually foresaw that it would be difficult to achieve results in the short term. Well, please keep working hard in the future."

"Yes Yes!"

Hull's tone was always calm, and More Bandes breathed a sigh of relief.

"I won't ask you how much money you spent now, but if one day I need you to produce results and you can't deliver, I will make you spit out what you ate before. Don't underestimate the task I gave you..."

As soon as these words came out, More Bandes' face turned pale.

For some reason, the trembling man in front of him actually created some kind of illusion in Mor Bandes' eyes.

——It was a red demon.

It has horns, a snake tongue coming out of its mouth, and eyes that are the color of cloudy sulfur.

I was caught in the claws of this devil.

"Yes! Don't worry! I will never let you down!"

Die die die die die die...

I am still too naive. There is no such comfortable thing in this world.

How is it possible to just enjoy without paying any price?

No... I have to find prey as soon as possible, either to extract money or to gather intelligence. I must make regular sacrifices to this demon!

"Teacher! It's been almost 10 days! If you don't eat something, your body won't be able to take it!"

"It's okay. I can still hold on. I'll be clearer on an empty stomach. The location for the oasis has been decided. We can officially start tomorrow night. After tomorrow night, I can also stop fasting."

The girl named Ling beside Hull supported his staggering body.

Hull still staggered and fell down, his head hitting the dining table in the living room, and the glasses and plates fell to the ground and shattered.

The food on the plate also fell to the ground.

"……Hahaha."

Hull stared at the food on the ground and laughed strangely.

That smile sent chills down Mor Benders' spine.

"Teacher...what are you laughing at!?"

"I understand... If you can't eat for a long time... No matter what you do, there will only be one thought in your mind, which is to stuff anything edible into your mouth... Even the food spilled on the floor... I want to kneel down and lick it clean now... If I can get food, it doesn't matter even if I kill innocent people... I'm sure everyone thinks the same way, right?"

"..."

Tears began to fall from the girl's eyes.

"Then I will make you something to eat now. We are already distributing food to everyone, so there is no need for you to starve!"

"Of course it is necessary... Tomorrow night is a full moon... Only then can I..." Hull paused here: "In short, if it is to rain, it must remain like this..."

"Now that you're like this, stop trying to be so stubborn!"

Hull stared at the crying Ling with his hazy eyes, put his hand on her head and patted her, then turned to look at More Bandes.

"You are here to ask me for reimbursement, right? I am sorry to have kept you waiting. Please give me all the receipts now. By the way, please describe how you spent money during this period to prevent any mistakes or omissions."

"This……"

More Bandes felt like crying but couldn't.

In this atmosphere, how could he have the nerve to take out the receipt!

If I really told others about my extravagant and licentious life, the girl named Ling next to me would probably tear me apart with her bare hands without my financial sponsor having to do anything.
