Mayor Eldrick's face was filled with determination and seriousness, his gaze firmly fixed on Sheriff William's face as he reiterated his determination: "The uncertainty behind this incident is too great, we cannot ignore any possibility. If what Agamemnon mentioned about the existence of high-level vampires is true, it will be a disaster. We must act quickly, no matter the cost."
Sheriff William displayed obvious confusion and concern on his face. He furrowed his brow and responded somewhat disheartenedly, "I understand your concern, Eldrick, but can we really trust the word of a stranger like Half Blood? What if all of this is fabricated by him?"
The mayor took a deep breath and said solemnly, "This is why we need you to investigate, William. As our sheriff, your judgment is crucial to us. Your experience and intuition will help us find the truth."
The sheriff seemed uneasy, "I'm supposed to investigate with a potentially dangerous Half Blood? That seems too risky..."
The mayor looked at him seriously: "We have no better choice, William. This is not only our responsibility, but also our commitment to the townspeople. We must protect them from this unknown threat."
At that moment, the steady footsteps of Agamemnon could be heard coming from the second floor, gradually approaching. His figure reappeared at the top of the stairs, walking down step by step. The gaze of everyone in the room turned to him, tension and anticipation interwoven in their expressions.
Agamemnon looked indifferent, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before settling on the sheriff's face. His voice was low and calm: "I have checked the situation upstairs. We need to act quickly, time waits for no one. Have you considered my conditions?"
Sheriff William appeared visibly annoyed by the mayor's decision, walking to the door with a tense and displeased expression. Meanwhile, Mayor Eldrick approached Agamemnon with a slight smile, displaying a friendly and sincere attitude.
The mayor said to Agamemnon, "Thank you very much for willing to help us investigate this case. The police's reaction just now may have been a bit excessive, and on their behalf, I apologize to you." After speaking, the mayor bowed slightly to express his sincerity.
Agamemnon didn't have much of a reaction to the mayor's behavior, just nodded lightly, maintaining his usual calm and steady expression.
The mayor continued, "Regarding the conditions you've proposed, we have also quickly considered them. Given the urgency and importance of this matter, it seems we don't have many choices. As for the Blood Demon and the missing child Bolt, totaling five thousand universal coins, we will raise the funds as soon as you complete the mission."
Upon hearing the mayor's response, Agamemnon nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, since you've agreed, we can prepare to sign the contract." With that, Agamemnon reached behind to pull out something.
At this moment, the mayor raised his hand and cautiously made a request: "Considering that we don't know you well enough and the special requirements of the case, we hope that Sheriff William can accompany you. This is very important to us. Can we do it this way?"
The mayor's words made the atmosphere in the room tense again. Sheriff William's eyes moved back and forth between Agamemnon and the mayor, showing a hint of surprise and uncertainty on his face. Agamemnon quietly considered the proposal, seemingly weighing whether the request was reasonable.
Agamemnon fell silent for a moment after hearing the mayor's proposal, then spoke slowly, "Of course, Sheriff William can accompany me to Shadowy Forest. But the condition is that he must be able to protect himself. If he needs my protection, there will be an additional fee of two thousand universal coins." Agamemnon spoke calmly, but with an unmistakable seriousness in his tone, "The battle with Blood Demon may be very intense, and if a high-level vampire awakens, the situation will become even more complex and dangerous."
Upon hearing this, Sheriff William's face showed obvious anger. He slammed the door with one hand and strode firmly towards Agamemnon. His muscles tensed, and he appeared strong and sturdy despite being forty-two years old, still in the prime of his life.
William walked up to Agamemnon and pointed at him aggressively, saying, "I, William, have never needed anyone to protect me! Whether it's a Blood Demon or a vampire, it's all the same! Do you understand?" His voice was full of anger, and his gaze was fiery as he stared at Agamemnon.
Facing William's anger, Agamemnon remained calm and composed, simply watching William without any response. This contrast made the atmosphere even more tense.
Mayor Eldrick saw the situation and quickly intervened, attempting to ease the tension: "William, we all know your abilities and courage. Mr. Agamemnon, we are very grateful for your assistance. We will arrange for compensation as soon as possible, hoping that you both can complete this mission together."
His words carried a hint of request, while also expressing the expectation for the two to cooperate. At this critical moment, they both realized that only by uniting could they resolve the current crisis.
Sheriff William's anger has not subsided, and his face is full of dissatisfaction: "I don't need to be protected, Eldrick. I am the sheriff, and protecting the townspeople is my responsibility. I will not let this kind of monster harm our people."
Agamemnon listens quietly to their conversation, then speaks slowly: "I respect the sheriff's courage and ability. But this enemy is not ordinary. Unless necessary, I will not let you be in unnecessary danger. Our goal is the same - to protect this town and its residents."
The mayor felt a slight relief as he looked at Sheriff William, hoping to calm his anger: "William, we need to unite. Mr. Agamemnon's help is crucial for us. We must trust him, just as he trusts us."
Sheriff William took a deep breath, still somewhat displeased, but ultimately nodded in agreement. Agamemnon remained calm, ready to begin his mission.
