CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 612: THE VALUABLE LUO AN, CREDENTIALS OF OTHER DEPARTMENTS

"The second matter is of a personal nature to me."

Hearing Luo An’s question, Louise raised an eyebrow, leaned back with her legs crossed, head held high, and said:

"Group Leader Luo An, I believe I have a beautiful face and a great figure.

So, do you know what kind of problems a beautiful woman like me typically encounters?"

Listening to Louise praising herself with a boastful air, Luo An was somewhat at a loss for words, but since she indeed was very attractive, and narcissism was none of his concern, he replied off-handedly:

"You must have a lot of people pursuing you."

"Exactly."

Louise nodded and continued:

"I dislike those men who lust after me, but I am now 29 years old and in 6 months it will be my birthday, which means I have only 6 months left before I turn 30."

Luo An’s gaze flickered, recalling her earlier request for Mona to leave the conference room, and he vaguely guessed something, asking:

"Are your parents starting to pressure you to get married?"

"Correct."

Louise smiled beamingly:

"Group Leader Luo An understands women very well."

"No, I don’t."

Luo An shook his head:

"If you’re troubled by this, I can introduce you to some psychologists to help ease your worries.

As for myself, I am unable to offer you any assistance."

"No, you can."

Seeing Luo An reject her without hesitation, the corners of Louise’s mouth curved upwards, guessing that Luo An must have thought of something, she cut straight to the point:

"Group Leader Luo An, I am willing to pay 1 million US dollars after tax to purchase your sperm."

Luo An was astonished and extremely surprised, initially thinking she was going to ask him to pretend to be her boyfriend or enter into a sham marriage, like some scenarios depicted on TV.

He never expected her to go straight to the point and propose to buy his genetic material?

Louise remained composed, saying calmly:

"I remember you said earlier that you had read my published articles, so you should know that I am a feminist.

In today’s society, many men control the means of production and earn money outside, while women stay at home, responsible for giving birth and raising children.

But I am not lacking in money, I am capable of taking good care of my child, and the role of a husband, as a male, is utterly useless to me.

So, unnecessary steps like being a couple or getting married can be skipped, and I can simply bypass all that and give birth to a child of my own."

Louise then took out another paper from her handbag and handed it to Luo An:

"This is a record of your performance in that case on the island, indicating that you are agile, a sharpshooter, and in excellent physical condition!

Moreover, Group Leader Luo An, you don’t smoke, you don’t use green leaf cigarettes, drink alcohol but not heavily, and have regular daily routines.

Being under 30 this year and already having climbed to the position of leader of the FBI Washington Headquarters’ 13th Investigation Group shows that your IQ and EQ are also far above others.

With your physical condition, EQ, IQ, combined with my IQ, face value, and figure, the offspring created by our genetic combination would certainly be outstanding!"

"..."

Looking at the beaming Louise Hernandez in front of him, Luo An took a sharp breath and felt a toothache coming on.

This kind of transaction, where a woman purchases a man’s sperm to have children alone, is not uncommon among the wealthy female class of the Federation.

It has even become increasingly common in that country across the ocean as it has grown wealthier.

After all, these women have money and are capable of taking good care of their children without the need for a man, and if they don’t have enough time for work, they can afford to hire professional nannies and such.

For precisely these reasons, these women are very selective in their gaze, as they obviously do not want to birth a child with innate defects.

But Luo An never expected such a situation to occur to him.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the messy thoughts in his mind, Luo An handed back the NGA credentials to Louise, speaking faintly:

"Miss Louise, is there anything else? If not, our investigation group has work to handle, so let’s pause here for today."

Hearing Luo An’s refusal, Louise leaned forward, clasped her hands on the table, and gave Luo An a piercing look, saying:

"Group Leader Luo An is not satisfied with the price? How about 1.5 million US Dollars?"

Luo An did not respond, and Louise continued to raise the bid without changing her expression:

"2 million!"

Luo An stood up from his chair, extending his palm toward the conference room door.

"Then, 3 million US Dollars!"

Louise stood up, walked in front of Luo An, looked up into his eyes, and said:

"3 million US Dollars, 50 capsules*, how about it?"

Luo An was somewhat surprised:

"Capsules?"

He had always thought she was talking about milliliters.

"That’s right."

Seeing a change in Luo An’s expression, Louise’s mouth curved into a slight smile:

"3 million for 50 capsules, Group Leader Luo An, you’re definitely the most valuable man in the world."

"..."

Luo An’s mouth twitched, he walked to the other side of the conference table, stuffed the NGA credentials back into Louise’s handbag, then handed the bag to Louise, saying:

"I’m sorry, Miss Louise, I have no intention of making money this way, thank you for the compliment."

Without waiting for Louise to speak, Luo An pulled open the conference room door first, and shouted:

"Reesi, Chenier, could you help me here, and escort Miss Louise out!"

"OK!" x2

Reesi and Chenier immediately agreed, left their stations, and walked over, while Louise watched Luo An for a moment, huffed lightly, and turned to leave the office area with the two women.

The door to the office area was closed, and Mona slowly came over, asking in a low voice:

"Luo An, what did that female reporter talk to you about just now?"

Luo An closed his eyes, rubbed his temples with a hint of helplessness, and replied:

"A billion-dollar big deal, it didn’t go through... This is the first time I’ve realized I’m worth that much."

"???"

Mona was full of confusion, not understanding what Luo An meant.

Without going into detail with Mona, after Reesi and Chenier returned to the office, Luo An began to deal with the follow-up of the case together with the other agents, and returned to the FBI Washington Headquarters the next day.

While the other agents continued to work in the Office Area 13, Luo An with the case-related folders went to Vireness’ office, briefly described the case, and also gave a brief account of the female reporter Louise.

However, Luo An did not mention the subsequent transaction, he merely mentioned the issue with the NGA and the credentials.

After Vireness heard Luo An’s description, there was no surprise on her face, she pondered for a few seconds, looked up at Luo An, and said:

"In fact, besides the Federal National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA), other departments have also sent you appointment letters and credentials."

"What?"

Luo An looked bewildered as Vireness opened a drawer of her desk, took out a document bag, and handed it to him.

Luo An opened the document bag and found several colorful credentials inside, each with different emblems printed on the surface.

"These credentials are respectively from the Federal Defense Intelligence Bureau (DIA), the Federal National Reconnaissance Bureau (NRO), the Federal National Security Intelligence Office (OICI), the Coast Guard Intelligence Bureau (CGI), as well as the National Security Bureau (NSA)."

"..."

Looking at these green, black, and purple credentials, his own half-body photo inside them, as well as the appointment letters designating him as a secret agent for these departments, Luo An’s mouth twitched:

"Chief, is this some kind of special privilege from the federal president?"

Vireness rolled her eyes and said:

"If it were the federal president, then these credentials should include the Special Service Bureau (USSS), but because of you, the Special Service Bureau made quite a fool of themselves this time."

"Then what’s all this about?"

"It’s because you, Luo An, made some people unable to sit still anymore."
