"Wait—Landon Parrels?"
Louise, who was originally busy going back to the office to write her article, was somewhat dissatisfied because she was forced to stay here.
But when she turned around and saw the person standing in front of her, she instantly raised an eyebrow.
She had naturally heard the rumors about the chairman of the Parelers Group.
What also intrigued Louise was that, as a journalist highly skilled at uncovering secrets and unknowns, she keenly sensed a sense of contradiction in Langdon Parrels.
After all, a chairman who is not good at socializing is indeed too strange.
Either that's just his personality.
You should either suspect that the other party might be hiding something.
Louise naturally leaned towards the latter.
At the same time, if this conjecture is correct, then what the other party is trying to hide by painstakingly creating this stereotype is—
This is something that deserves serious consideration.
However, Louise never met Langdon Parrels in person, nor did she have the opportunity to interview the chairman who lived in the next city and was always on the verge of disappearing.
Therefore, speculation can only remain speculation, unfortunately.
Unexpectedly, Langdon Parells actually showed up in person during the Parells Group's acquisition of the Daily Planet these past few days.
This is a rare opportunity.
Just then, Louise had finished following up on her report and, in addition to writing the article, was planning to find time to look for her next interview target.
As a result, Langdon Parrels just walked right into their doorstep!
Louise, who is always decisive and efficient, immediately took the initiative: "Hello, I am Louise Lane from the Daily Planet. I have long admired Mr. Parrels."
"But if I may be so bold, I also have a few questions for you—would the Parelers Group be willing to accept interview appointments during your stay in the Metropolitan Area?"
Seeing Louise choose to attack directly, Morgan hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
As his former boss, he wasn't surprised by Louise Lane's behavior.
The problem is that the interviewees are different from those in the past.
Leaving aside the potential problems that might arise during the interview, simply trying to interview Langdon Parrels is a huge challenge.
What happened next surprised Morgan.
When confronted with Louise's direct question, Langdon seemed to pause only briefly before nodding: "Yes."
Louise's eyes showed confusion: "This... signifies consent?"
"Hmm," Langdon said expressionlessly.
Louise: "————?"
"Ahem, Ryan." Morgan looked at Louise's unusually bewildered expression and suddenly felt a sense of relief for his heart, which had been tormented by Langdon. He patted Louise's shoulder sympathetically. "Parellers has obviously agreed, don't you think, Parellers?"
Langdon's response was a simple "Hmm." He nodded.
Louise Morgan: "————"
Never mind, as long as he agrees.
Jaeger actually didn't want to agree to the interview.
After all, interviewing is something that sounds like a lot of trouble.
Although he was interviewed in Langdon's capacity, he could have chosen to be very direct.
But facing such a brilliant journalist, Jaeger couldn't be sure whether the journalist would discover anything.
Therefore, what ultimately made Jaeger change his mind and agree to Louise's interview was actually a sudden sound of accomplishment in his ear.
[A new achievement has been unlocked!]
[Achievement Completed - "Sister Lu, the Socialite"]
[Unlock condition: First encounter with "Louise Lane"]
[PS: Standing before you now is the world's best journalist! Truly courageous and fearless! Give her a microphone and an opportunity, and she'll even bravely storm Apokolips to interview a certain monarch—the journalist known as the "Heroine of Journalism"—Ms. Louise Lane!]
Hello, there's not enough room for all of us.
Looking at the series of descriptions in the notes, Jaeger couldn't help but think.
However, this Ms. Ryan in front of us is also an important person who can trigger achievements.
Jaeger, who had initially been reluctant to give the interview, changed his mind and decided to agree to Louise's request.
After all, contact with important figures increases the probability of triggering event cards.
Moreover, the other party is a prominent journalist.
Journalists are one of the professions in tabletop RPGs where it's easiest to get a legendary investigator, so they'll definitely encounter a lot of events—and the probability of triggering event cards will certainly be high.
After Jaeger responded to Louise's three consecutive "uh-huhs," the two on the other side seemed unsure of what to say, and an eerie silence fell over the room.
In the end, Morgan took on the responsibility of breaking the silence and cleverly chose to talk to Louise instead of the innocent-looking Langdon beside her: "By the way, Ryan."
"I remember you were nominated for the Escalius Awards tonight? Congratulations."
"It's just a nomination, not an actual award, so there's nothing to congratulate her on." Louise wasn't going to fall for politeness and shook her head upon hearing this. She then turned to Langdon beside her and said, "But I heard that Mr. Parrels seems to be planning to attend the awards ceremony."
"That's right, the organizers invited Parrels," Morgan interrupted before Langdon could utter a "hmm," "but unfortunately, I have other commitments tonight and probably won't be able to witness the Escaliber Award winner with you."
"But I sincerely hope that the winner is you, Ryan."
"Thanks," Louise said.
Meanwhile, Jaeger, who was watching Morgan and Louise talk, briefly glanced around in the air:
You have triggered a special event card!
[The Affair of Escalibor has been added to the poker table]
[Description: Escalien, an honorary award established specifically for outstanding journalists, will hold its awards ceremony tonight.]
Those invited to the meeting were all members of the press.
However, even in Metropolis, where Superman resides, there are still undercurrents beneath the surface of what appears to be an ordinary awards ceremony.
The calamity of Escalibur is like the Sword of Damocles hanging overhead, ready to fall at any moment.
[Objective: Attend the Escalius Awards gala dinner and resolve related issues.]
[Event Card Discount Reward: Card "Practice Makes Perfect" 1]
Jaeger: !
Practice makes perfect? — Practice makes perfect!
Having not seen a precious skill upgrade card in a long time, Jaeger almost shed tears of emotion.
If this incident can be resolved successfully, Jaeger's [Wizard] skill will have a good chance of being upgraded!
The Wizarding World at level 3 sounds amazing!
Jaeger instantly perked up, wishing he could fast-forward the timeline to tonight so he could rush to work and start dealing with the incident.
Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to manipulate time.
So now he's like a poor viewer who pre-booked their favorite live stream, even managed to log in right on time, only to find the streamer hadn't even started broadcasting yet—he can only sadly scratch at the door of the live stream room.
