Right in front of Jason’s eyes, the familiar text began to appear again.
Alas, the hint this time was different.
“Graphical Reiteration (Passive)”, Yes/No Consume 1 point of Satiety to learn?]
It was no longer about upgrading.
Instead, this was about learning!
He had never thought that he would also be able to learn new skills in addition to developing his current skills.
The young police officer, who was standing in front of Jason, noticed something was wrong. He looked at Jason, who was suddenly pale, and he immediately stepped forward to help him.
Jason took a step back and shrugged it off.
"It’s okay. I’m just too tired.”
"You know, I haven’t had a rest since last night.”
Of course, these words were not addressed to the young police officer.
These words were addressed toward Bondy, who was walking over to them.
Compared to the young police officer, Bondy, who was already a sheriff, would not be fooled that easily. Without a reasonable explanation, Jason was worried that the other party would notice that something was amiss.
After all, when Finch had handed him the book, Bondy had been by his side the entire time.
"I forgot that you have been fighting without rest.”
"You go take a good rest first, and I will notify you if we need any more help.”
"As for tonight’s patrol, I will arrange for someone else to take over, as well.”
After he said that, the sheriff turned and gave a slight nod to Jason.
Jason thanked him politely.
But Jason did not actually rest. He followed beside Bondy and walked towards Hall.
When he saw this, Bondy hesitated but did not say anything else.
The sheriff thought about the persistent rumours about the night watchman.
As long as the night watchman would honor his promise, it would be a success!
No matter how dangerous it was, even if you lost your life, you would try to keep the promise as best as you could.
Previously, he had only heard this as a rumour.
He figured it was real.
For a dutiful sheriff like himself, he had a lot of respect and admiration for this trait.
Alas, this did not prevent him from harboring motives toward Finch and the young police officer, to take care of the tired night watchman.
Just recently, Detective Hall already learned the layout of the entire estate from the butler and inquired with most of the servants.
"Sir, Your Excellency Jason.”
"According to the butler’s description, in the entire estate, only Mr. Flayton’s study hall and the bedroom are connected to it, and they were not allowed to approach it without permission. Some servants even heard hissing from the study hall.”
"Mr. Flayton was abducted in his study.”
After Hall gave him a rundown, he added this sentence.
Immediately, Jason and Bondy glanced at each other.
At this point, no one would regard Flayton’s kidnapping case as a normal kidnapping case.
The place where the other party was abducted was naturally of top priority.
As soon as Bondy raised his hand, five capable police detectives came forth with guns, and more than twenty young police officers were scattered around, patrolling vigilantly.
Bondy immediately walked toward the study.
Finch entered the manor’s main building with the five detectives.
Hall was left to command the police officers outside and was also responsible for handling and managing accidents.
However, as Jason had inferred before, there were no more monsters in the main building of the manor–only luxurious decorations.
A huge crystal chandelier, with the diameter of a round table, stretched down from the three-story staircase to the velvet carpet in the lobby. There were paintings from indiscernible periods of time, and gold-plated tables and chairs.
An erect bronze statue stood in the middle of the hall where everyone who entered would immediately see it.
There were no doubts about it; this bronze statue was that of Mr. Flayton.
From the bronze statue, Mr. Flayton was a personable, middle-aged man with a handsome appearance.
He and his party did not stay in the lobby for long, heading straight for the study on the third floor.
Cautiously opening the door of the study, everyone couldn’t help but stare once they got a clear view of the situation.
