Chapter 13: New York Has Its Own Feelings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After a busy night, Jody and the others were about to find a place to sleep when they suddenly received a new piece of news.

Roan had successfully become an official agent. The reward for solving the case and the reward for the murderer amounted to 55,000 dollars, which would be paid together with Roan’s salary this weekend.

If this news made Jody and the other male agents jealous and unwilling, then another piece of news made Alina and the other female agents unable to hold back.

Due to Roan’s strong request, Team Leader Augustus also made Mona an official agent. At the same time, she was also transferred to Investigation Team No. 5.

Moreover, Mona also had a portion of the 55,000 dollars.

“F*ck!”

“That b*tch!”

“We both have two legs, so How am I different from Mona?”

Compared to men, the fights between women were more intense and terrifying.

Roan had no idea what Jody and the other intern agents were thinking. He and Mona chatted with Augustus for a while in the office area of Investigation Team No. 5 before they finally got off work. After saying goodbye to Mona, they took a taxi back to the small apartment they rented in Queens.

There was a kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a living room. Roan glanced around. The apartment was a little messy. The clothes that needed to be changed were scattered all over the floor. There was also a musty smell in the air that all the boys were familiar with.

Roan did a simple search and found that the source of the smell was the smelly socks that had not been washed under the sofa.

“It’s a good thing I didn’t invite Mona over.”

Roan sighed at how the original host was really careless. He pushed open the window to maintain the airflow in the room, and then began…He searched for important items related to the original host and did not tidy up the room.

The reason was simple. Roan did not plan to stay in this apartment. Besides the fact that the apartment was too far away from his workplace, he did not have a car and needed to get up early to take the subway to work. Another important reason was that this apartment’s contract would expire in two days.

Walking into the bedroom, Roan found an old-fashioned computer. It showed that it took a long time to turn on, and after a simple flip, he did not find the information he was looking for. He got up and rummaged under the bed, and finally found something very important to the original host. A passbook!

Seeing the ‘huge sum’ of 500 dollars, Roan put it into his pocket expressionlessly.

No matter how much money one had, it was still money. The old assassin had once warned Roan.

“Don’t underestimate every penny. Sometimes, a life can’t even be sold for a penny.”

After carefully checking his memories in the room and making sure that he did not miss anything, Roan gave the landlord a call and left the apartment.

From now on, this was the new Roan Greenwood.

At the Nether Watson Hotel in Manhattan, Roan took a quick shower. He did not call the waitress at the bar previously and lay on the bed, preparing to sleep.

It was the first day of his transmigration, and he was still not used to it. Furthermore, he had been on the move for the entire day, so Roan was not in the mood to play a two-person game.

After a long time, the sleeping Roan suddenly heard a buzzing sound in his ear. Before he could react, a familiar light blue page appeared before his eyes again.

“…”

Roan looked at the time. It was midnight.

“So the treasure chests are refreshed every day at midnight, huh?”

Roan stretched his back and yawned as he checked the system page.

“Yesterday’s performance evaluation: Good.”

“Number of treasure chests obtained: Three.”

“Do you want to open the treasure chest?”

“….. Open.”

Roan’s eyes lit up when he saw the word ‘good’ in the evaluation. Since there was ‘good,’ then there must be ‘outstanding.’

However, on second thought, there could not be a pass and a fail, right?

“Treasure chest opened.”

“Stamina Potion x1, Fireproofing Potion x1, Night Vision Potion x1.”

Looking at the three potions on the light blue system page, Roan thought of the hemostatic medicine he had given the girl in the sling earlier that day.

The effect was immediate and could save his life at a critical moment.

However…

After laying down the pillow, Roan closed his eyes and whispered, “Why do I feel that the effects of these potions are more suitable for the path of an assassin…”

At eight o’clock the next morning, Roan walked into the office area of Investigation Team No.5 on the 23rd floor of the Jacob Federal Building with a huge pile of breakfast.

As mentioned before, the 23rd to 26th floors of the Jacob Federal Office Building in Manhattan were the territory of the FBI’s New York branch.

These four floors were occupied by the FBI’s New York Branch’s National Security Branch, Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch, Science and Technology Branch, Intelligence Branch, Information and Technology Branch, Human Resources Branch, and other major departments.

The Criminal Investigation Division, the Critical Incident Response Group, the Cyber Division, the International Operation Division, and the Victim Services Division were all under the Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch.

Among the major event response teams, there were the well-known Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), Special Weapons and Tactics Team (SWAT), Crisis Negotiation Unit (CNU), Behavior Analysis Unit (BAU), and finally, Counter-IED Section.

Of course, these few departments had nothing to do with Roan. Investigation Team No. 5, which he had come to today, belonged to the Criminal Investigation Division. It was one of the thirteen investigation teams under the Criminal Investigation Division.

The team supervisor, Veronica, was mainly responsible for the matters related to Investigation Teams No. 1-5. As for Investigation Teams No. 6 and beyond, the other team supervisors were in charge.

The scope of these investigation teams was very large. They could participate in the investigation of large-scale killings, sniper murders, serial murders, gangs, crimes against children, human trafficking/involuntary slavery, bank robberies, jewelry and gemstone theft, international violent crimes, and other crimes.

“Good morning, Sir.”

Roan walked into the office of Investigation Team No. 5 and found that there was only one person in the room. The other party was a strong white man who was no less than 1.9 meters tall. He had a buzz cut and his muscles seemed to be able to explode his suit.

When he heard someone talking to him, the muscular white man moved his gaze away from the computer and turned to look at the handsome Roan. He grinned and said, “Looks like you’re the Roan that Augustus mentioned!”

“That’s right, it’s me.”

Roan handed the breakfast in his hand to the other party and asked with a smile,

“What did Augustus say about me?”

The muscular white man took the breakfast and ate half of it in one bite. He smiled vaguely and said, “Augustus told us that not only is Roan as handsome as him, but his brain is also similar to his. However, you are not as skilled as him. He hopes that we will give in to you and not bully you. We will also protect you more during the mission.”

Roan was speechless.

Seeing the stiff expression on Roan’s face, the white man finished his breakfast in a few bites and said, “Don’t worry, everyone in Investigation Team No. 5 knows about Roan’s one-on-ten and eight-hour case yesterday. No one will bully you.”

“No, I’m not afraid of being bullied.”

Roann shook his head and spread his hands.

“I’m just thinking, after Augustus’s publicity, what do I look like in the hearts of those who have not seen me but have seen Augustus?”

Hearing this, the muscular white man laughed out loud and slapped Roan’s shoulder.

“My name is Ryder Smith, a senior agent of the Investigation Team No. 5. You can call me Ryder from now on.”

After saying that, Ryder took the bag with the breakfast and took out another three portions of the breakfast to eat.
