Chapter 1402 An Ordinary Person“s Daily Life 8/8

The scene in front of him was so ordinary that Barton didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with it .

Although he vaguely felt that there was something familiar about it, he didn’t think that it was worth puzzling over it .

How could a daily scene not be familiar?

His gaze shifted as he looked up into the sky . He saw the crimson moon quietly hanging in the sky, shining with light, causing his mood to settle down involuntarily .

At that moment, Barton seemed to have let go of an invisible burden . His body and mind were unusually relaxed . He no longer had the same fear, anxiety, and frustration from before .

His spiritual intuition told him that Vernal’s matter had come to an end, and it would no longer affect his life .

“Holy Lord of Storms . Lord, thank you for your blessings . ” Barton immediately struck his left chest with his right fist and muttered to himself .

Without anxiety and tension, he felt exhaustion overwhelm him like a flood . It surged from the depths of his soul, drowning his brain, limbs, and every cell in his body .

Barton couldn’t help but use the back of his hand to cover his mouth . He yawned, but a satisfied smile appeared on his face .

He didn’t stay in the study any longer and turned around to leave . He returned to the bedroom and took a pleasant bath, enjoying himself as he drank a small glass of red wine .

That night, Barton didn’t dream anymore and slept exceptionally soundly .

When he woke up in the morning, his mind was relaxed and his spirits were rising . It was as if he had obtained a new life .

Looking at his wife who was still sleeping beside him, Barton carefully got up, changed his clothes, and walked around the neighborhood .

He had never realized how wonderful his district was .

The air was fresh, the environment was peaceful, and the scenery was pleasant . Even the pedestrians were cultured .

This made Barton’s mood even better . Once again, he deeply understood that the matter with Vernal had come to an end, and he had returned to his normal, peaceful life .

He maintained his mood and went home to enjoy breakfast with his wife and children .

During this process, he even told his wife about a joke he read in the newspapers and fulfilled his children’s tiny requests .

Seeing the smiles on his wife and children’s faces, Barton felt satisfied .

Then, he put on his coat, hat, and cane before heading out to take a trackless public carriage . He walked all the way to the Loen Relic Search and Preservation Foundation at the periphery of the city .

After entering his office, Barton found his usual daily pace . He didn’t get right down to work but prepared the special herbal black tea he had prepared himself .

With the black tea, he leisurely read the newspapers that he didn’t subscribe to at home . Then, he picked up the letters and documents he had received and read them .

Such a process and pace made him feel exceptionally comfortable .

The only difference was that Barton was still a little worried about receiving yet another letter from Vernal .

However, this concern didn’t turn into a reality .

About fifteen minutes later, someone knocked on his office door .

“Please come in . ” Barton picked up his cup and took a sip of his black tea .

The person who entered was the ordinary-looking deputy director of the Compliance Department, Pacheco Dwayne, who didn’t have any characteristics that stood out but still managed to give off a warm and friendly vibe .

“Did you sleep well last night?” asked Pacheco as he stood at the door .

“Excellent . ” Baton didn’t hide anything .

Pacheco nodded and smiled .

“Seems like you’ve really gotten rid of the effects from this matter . ”

Barton didn’t mention the “nightmare” he had had . Instead, he asked, “What about you?”

“I also slept very well,” Pacheco replied with a smile . “The police have already taken over this matter . It’s said that they found Vernal last night . Unfortunately, he apparently encountered some misfortune . ”

“Poor soul, I hope he can rest in peace . ” Barton didn’t pray that the Lord would protect him, because Vernal had already abandoned his faith in the Lord of Storms . If there were really any blessings to be bestowed, then it would definitely be lightning blasts and storms .

With that said, he thought of the help that Pacheco had provided and his friendly attitude . He said, “Shall we have lunch together later?”

“Are you treating?” asked Pacheco with a smile .

“Of course . It’s a pleasure to meet a friend like you . ” Barton stood up and bowed gentlemanly .

Pacheco nodded slightly and said, “Then I’ll wait at the Compliance Department for your invitation .

“Before 12?”

“No problem . ” Apart from being grateful to him, Barton also felt that knowing the deputy director of the Compliance Department would be a great help to his future work .

Furthermore, he believed that Pucheco was just like him . In some aspects, he was stronger than the average person .

After seeing Pacheco leave his office, Barton sat down again, silently and slowly exhaling .

As an ordinary person with a normal IQ, he could tell that the matters regarding Vernal were very strange . It involved the problems of mysticism and religion .

In addition, he was actually very interested in the details of the Tamara family’s fracturing and the secret history of the Fourth Epoch, and the details to which Vernal had encountered .

However, he knew that he couldn’t probe further . It was thanks to the great luck of an ordinary person for him to be able to see the tip of the iceberg without dying . If he wanted to figure out the situation beneath the water surface, he would definitely drown to death .

The past archaeological expedition made Barton not dare to take the risk, nor did he want to take any risks .

To him, curiosity was probably the most worthless thing .

After pondering for a while, Barton continued his work .

When it was almost noon, he tidied the items on the table and picked up the coat and top hat hanging on the clothes rack . He left the office and walked to the door of the Compliance Department .

Knock! Knock! Knock! Barton knocked on the wooden door in front of him .

Soon, Pacheco opened the door and glanced at Barton .

“Give me another five minutes . I still have some matters to settle . ”

“No problem . ” Barton didn’t mind at all .

“Come on in and wait,” Pacheco said casually .

Barton didn’t stand on ceremony . He walked into the Compliance Department and found a chair to sit down .

As his gaze moved, he realized that there were about six to seven members in the Compliance Department .

Just then, he heard someone knocking on the door .

Without waiting for the employees of the Compliance Department to get up, the door creaked open .

The first to enter was the vice president of the Loen Relic Search and Preservation Foundation .

He was a lively old man . He looked around and paused for a second before saying, “Seems like everyone is here .

“Let me introduce you to a new colleague . ”

As he spoke, the vice-president took a few steps forward, revealing the new employee of the Compliance Department behind him .

She was a woman in her twenties . She had a high nose bridge and a pair of moist, full lips . Her eyes were dark gray and her face was pretty . She wore a common blue dress .

However, there was no expression on her face . She didn’t look like a real person . She looked more like a wax statue .

The gazes of Barton and Pacheco froze .

The vice president continued smiling and said, “She will be like Pacheco, taking on the role of the deputy director of the Compliance Department . Her name is Alicia Tamara . ”

She was a woman in her twenties . She had a high nose bridge and a pair of moist, full lips . Her eyes were dark gray and her face was pretty . She wore a common blue dress .

The gazes of Barton and Pacheco froze .

At that moment, the lady’s lips curled up as she said with a radiant smile, “Hello everyone . I’m Alicia Tamara . ”
