Genshin Impact: The Glory of the Herrscher Shines on Teyvat

After letting the two leave, Marcelle did not let the matter end because of Jacques' death. He called another of his men and spoke to him.

"That Jacques betrayed us. Although he is dead now, it does not mean that the matter is over. Find an opportunity to kill his wife and daughter. I want to let those people know that I am not just a talker."

"Okay boss, I'll go right away."

Just as his men were about to leave, Marcelle seemed to remember something and called him.

"Wait, don't rush to kill anyone. Since the spy Jacques dared to betray us, there must be someone behind it. Go and find out the truth first and see if his wife and daughter are being protected by anyone."

Marcelle also reacted at this time. If it was just Jacques himself, he would definitely not have the courage to be a traitor. He also knew that the man valued his family very much and would not take such a big risk for no reason.

He would only do such a risky thing if someone had promised to protect his family. Besides Fontaine, the only one who is capable and willing to take care of these things is the Thorn Rose Society who has been tracking down Les.

Marcelle hoped it wasn't the former. After all, his spies in the Court of Justice hadn't reported any action against him, which meant that it was either not official, or the top brass had already noticed the problems within their ranks. Either way, it wasn't good news for him.

And if the other party is the Thorn Rose Society...

Thinking of this, a hint of viciousness flashed across Marcelle's face.

………………

In the Steambird newspaper office, when Charlotte was writing an article, someone suddenly told her that a guard from the Court of Justice was looking for her. Just when she was still wondering what the matter was, she suddenly thought of a possibility, so she ran out excitedly.

When she arrived at the door and the security guard told her that this was a letter written to her by Alicia, her inner thoughts were basically confirmed. She was almost cheering with excitement. Fortunately, she also knew that it was a serious matter, so she suppressed her excitement, thanked the security guard, and hurried back to her small studio.

This was specially applied for by Miss Ou Fu because she saw her outstanding abilities.

Charlotte quickly opened the pink envelope and read the contents carefully.

The first sentence is full of Alicia's style.

"Hey? Did you miss me? I miss my lovely Charlotte so much..."

Charlotte read the letter with a smile on her face, until she saw that Alicia asked her to have dinner together the next day, she could no longer suppress her excitement and cheered in her little room.

This was the secret code she and Alicia agreed upon, telling her that the action would begin tomorrow. Although Alicia had promised to take her with her, Charlotte was still a little worried.

After all, such an action is not a trivial matter. She has not received any news in these days. She is afraid that Alicia will change her mind and not want to take her as a burden. Fortunately, her worries now seem unnecessary. After a while of excitement, she ran to the office of Editor-in-Chief Ou Fu to ask for leave.

Miss Oufu in the office was also having a headache because of something, which was the manuscript of the novel sent to her by Alicia, the water god's servant. After reading it, she was stunned for a moment and was deeply attracted by the interlocking clues and character relationships in it, especially when she saw Holmes's handling of the matter at the end, which was extremely in line with her wishes.

After reading it, she immediately proposed at the meeting to publish the novel in the Steambird newspaper, but she did not expect that her idea did not receive the support of those old predecessors.

The reasons they gave were very simple. They believed that a newspaper should do what a newspaper should do, and they should use their space to expose social realities and record various major events. This is what a journalist should do.

Miss Oufu couldn't blame them for anything wrong with their idea. Although she still strongly recommended it, it was rejected by a small margin in the final vote.

Originally, although this matter was regrettable, it was not a big deal. However, there were rumors in the Mo Mang Palace in recent days that the news newspapers seemed to be rectified, and the person in charge was said to be Miss Alicia, which made Ou Fu a little worried.

At this moment, Charlotte knocked on her office door. After Oufu greeted her, Charlotte walked in.

"Ms. Oufu, I want to take a day off tomorrow. Ellie asked me to have dinner with her. Maybe there will be some big news."

Looking at Charlotte who was giving her a headache, Ou Fu did not blame her. Although it was she who brought Alicia's request, she was entrusted by someone else after all, so she could not be blamed.

When Ou Fu heard Charlotte say that Alicia was looking for her, her heart tightened, and she couldn't help but wonder if Alicia was looking for her this time to ask whether the novel could be published.

"No need to ask for leave. Miss Alicia must have something to talk to you about. You can just go there tomorrow. By the way, the newspaper is still discussing the novel. Please talk to her and ask Miss Alicia to wait for a while."

"Okay, I understand Miss Oufu."

Hearing that she would not need to take leave tomorrow and would still get paid, although she did not know why the matter of Alicia had not been discussed yet, out of trust in Miss Ou Fu, Charlotte did not ask any more questions and just skipped out.

Although Charlotte was sent away, Miss Oufu's inner melancholy was still not relieved. Although from the information she learned from Charlotte's mouth, Alicia was not the kind of person who relied on her position to make things difficult for others, she had never actually seen such a person, so she could not guarantee it.

Just then, someone knocked on her door again.

"Ms. Oufu, I'm here to inform you to attend the senior management meeting. The president wants to discuss the issue of Lady Alicia's submission."

The person at the door was the president's secretary. Ou Fu was stunned when she heard it, then she reacted and said.

"I know, I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Ou Fu took the things needed for the meeting and hurried to the meeting room.

After arriving at the meeting room, Ou Fu found that something seemed wrong with the development of this meeting. An editor-in-chief who had previously strongly opposed it suddenly changed his attitude and praised Alicia's novel. Other opponents also changed their attitudes.

The meeting progressed at an astonishing speed to the final voting stage, and ultimately with a unanimous vote, Alicia's novel will be published in the next issue of the newspaper.
