"Then go find Aglai and ask her if she has any information on this. If not, hire her at a high price to investigate for me," Lin Feng instructed.
He couldn't let this guy be idle. Let him go out and contribute his talents.
After spending too much time with this thing, Lin Feng felt his IQ was being affected.
Ophelia sighed. She really didn't want to move.
But the boss had given the order, so she could only scratch her butt and move her almost rusty body.
"Oh, right, go tell the maid to call Hana for me!"
Ophelia's footsteps paused, then immediately quickened.
She was afraid that if she walked any slower, Lin Feng would find her more work to do.
...
Not long after Ophelia left, Hana entered.
Li Xieqian and Hana, along with other leaders of the second sequence, had been staying here for the past few days, answering Lin Feng's questions.
"Leader, you called for me?" Hana walked in, swaying her slender waist, and even threw Lin Feng a flirtatious glance.
The leaders of the second sequence were also very astute.
Three days were enough for them to figure out Lin Feng's personality and preferences.
Fortunately, Lin Feng was not someone who was moody and temperamental, which made Hana complain several times about the information Li Xieqian had recorded about his quick temper.
"Hana, sit!" Lin Feng said with a smile, gesturing for her to sit.
Hana was the type of woman who, while not possessing top-tier beauty, exuded a captivating charm that grew more appealing the longer you looked.
Moreover, Hana was very sensible and perceptive, which made Lin Feng think highly of her as a subordinate.
As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease. Lin Feng didn't dislike Li Xieqian or the blonde middle-aged man.
As for Hai, he seemed a bit naive, and Lin Feng didn't dislike him either.
As for the last leader of the second sequence, who was as gloomy as a leaky sieve and couldn't get anything done...
To be honest, Lin Feng found him annoying even to look at, and couldn't even be bothered to remember his name!
"Hana, I called you here this time to ask if you know anyone from the Seventh Force," Lin Feng asked with a smile, pouring Hana a cup of tea.
This tea was a different kind of leaf that Lin Feng had purchased from the system space.
According to the system, it was cultivated from the soil of the World Tree and had the effect of calming the mind and relieving fatigue.
Lin Feng couldn't judge its authenticity, but the effect was indeed real.
Hana took the cup with both hands and tilted her head, thinking.
"The Seventh Force... I actually know someone."
"Aglaei, from the second sequence of the Seventh Force, used to do missions with me."
"Oh?" Lin Feng's eyebrows rose with interest. "Tell me more?"
Hana smiled and replied, "There's not much to tell, really."
"A long time ago, we were both just low-ranking black robes. During a mission, I saved her life."
"Over the years, although we belonged to different forces, our connection never broke. Is there something you need, leader?"
Hana revealed what she knew without any reservation.
Her relationship with Aglaei dated back a hundred years, and very few people knew about it.
Given Hana's intelligence, she was certainly aware that Lin Feng had a reason for asking, but she chose not to hide anything. At least, it seemed that Hana possessed sufficient loyalty, regardless of whether it was genuine or not.
However, this connection made Lin Feng's eyes light up.
"Indeed, there is something." Lin Feng took a sip of tea and straightened his posture.
"The dwarves of the Seventh Force have inexplicably developed hostility towards me."
"During the previous selection for the second stage, they tried to sabotage me."
"So I want to know, where does this hostility stem from?" Lin Feng's eyes narrowed, and his gaze turned cold.
This was a perfect point of conflict! Once he understood the reason, Lin Feng would have a basis for dealing with the Seventh Force.
Hana felt a chill run down her arm.
She immediately understood Lin Feng's intention and responded with a smile.
"I understand, leader!"
"I saved Aglaei's life, so I believe I can get some information from her!"
"I'll go contact Aglaei right away and will provide you with a reply by tonight."
After expressing her commitment, Hana finished the tea in her cup, a sign of respect for her leader.
Hana's actions were undoubtedly pleasing, and Lin Feng was no exception.
"It's alright, no need to rush. Give me a reply within two days, and make sure the investigation is thorough!"
"I'm personally assigning this as an S-rank mission for you!"
Since he was asking Hana to do something, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't mistreat her.
As a faction leader, he had a certain number of S-rank mission quotas per year, and the content was entirely up to him.
Hana was a little surprised that Lin Feng would issue an S-rank mission right away. She immediately waved her hand.
"Leader, it's not necessary. This isn't worth an S-rank mission!"
"Besides, this is what I should be doing!"
Hana smiled sweetly, exuding a fragrance mixed with candy and red wine, and her words were sincere.
Lin Feng waved his hand.
"Investigating a faction leader is certainly worthy of an S-rank mission. Take it."
Lin Feng directly raised his terminal and sent Hana a mission to investigate the leader of the Seventh Force.
Lin Feng was willing to be generous with subordinates like this, as it didn't cost him anything!
Hearing this, Hana no longer refused. She immediately bid farewell to Lin Feng and happily went to contact that person named Aglaei.
This was probably the easiest S-rank mission Hana had received in many years.
Indeed, as Aglaei had said, women who smile often have good luck!
As she walked out the door, she ran into Li Xieqian and the blonde middle-aged man within a few steps.
Seeing Hana emerge from Lin Feng's room, the blonde middle-aged man frowned.
"What did the leader call you for?"
Hana glanced at him warily, then rolled her eyes.
"Does it concern you!"
After uttering those words, Hana swayed her hips and left, leaving behind the blonde middle-aged man gnashing his teeth in anger, and Li Xieqian who wanted to laugh but felt it was inappropriate.
This blonde middle-aged man was clearly afraid that Hana and the leader would become too close...
Inside the room, after seeing Hana off, Lin Feng took another sip of tea.
It had to be said, the taste was truly excellent!
Sipping the tea, Lin Feng flipped open his black robe terminal again.
His work was not yet finished. Lin Feng felt that he was truly dedicated!
He scrolled through the terminal and found Diona's information. Lin Feng typed a few lines and sent them.
[The selection ended a day ago. Didn't you have something you wanted to discuss with me? Where are you!]
The third stage of the selection had ended yesterday, but Diona had been silent.
Plans change. If it were two days ago, Lin Feng wouldn't have cared what the Fourth Force's Diona wanted to discuss with him.
But now that he was a faction leader, Lin Feng wouldn't miss any opportunity to gather information. What if she could surprise him?
