WHOOSH—
A holographic projection appeared on the conference room’s long table, and a valiant female figure materialized. The other directors quickly lowered their heads in greeting, "Director-General!"
Chen Jixian remained motionless.
So directors who were still neutral couldn’t help but admire inwardly: The Director is no ordinary man, unaffected by beauty and undaunted by power.
If Chen Gu had been there, he would have recognized this woman as the lead actress of the original sixteen-part artistic blockbuster, the goddess of all male mbers of Star Sea forty years ago, Aviloya!
After so many years, no one knew that the Valkyrie Aviloya had beco the Director-General of the Confederation’s Bureau of Mystic Security.
Aviloya looked at Chen Jixian and said only one sentence, "Chen Gu must beco a mber of the Bureau of Mystic Security."
Then, the communication was cut off.
Marcel pursed his lips and looked down to hide the disappointnt he couldn’t contain. So close! he thought. I had pushed the new Director into a no-win situation. No matter what choice Chen Jixian made, it would be wrong. If he agreed to the recruitnt, he would be planting seeds of future trouble. If it all ca to light, Chen Jixian would only have one way out: to resign in acknowledgnt of his faults. If he denied the recruitnt and Chen Gu underwent the mory wipe surgery—not to ntion the various risks—Chen Gu was his father. If he couldn’t even protect his own father just after taking office, what kind of authority would he have left? Too bad, I was just one step away... Damn it! Why would the Director-General, clearly the one wronged by that young man, co forward to recruit him into the Bureau of Mystic Security?
Even Marcel, with all his cunning and sches, couldn’t understand it.
Chen Gu, locked in an empty white room, was unaware of this slight interlude in the plan—he could never imagine that he and the Valkyrie had the sa idea: Place the enemy under my control, where they can’t escape. Then I’ll have plenty of ti to teach them a lesson!
Chen Gu waited for two hours before mbers of the administrative departnt finally ca for various inquiries, including why he left his ho tonight, where he had gone, and what he had done.
Behind the scenes, the administrative departnt even conducted a detailed analysis of why Chen Gu had chosen to travel via Gurong Street.
Another hour and a half later, the administrative departnt’s report was released: it was determined to be an accidental sighting with no suspicions.
Only then did the recruitnt process begin.
The person assigned to talk to Chen Gu was Director i. With Chen Gu’s acting skills, it was as if he was hearing about the secret world behind this world’s advanced science for the first ti. He displayed shock, doubt, questioning, and rebuttal, until he was finally compelled to accept—all flawlessly.
After completing all the procedures, Director i handed Chen Gu a crystal core. "Alright," she said, "from now on, you are a mber of the administrative departnt of Wuzhaoyin City’s Bureau of Mystic Security, Section Five."
"Let’s get reacquainted. I am the director of Section Five. My surna is i."
"Director i, good to et you." So this is my boss from now on, Chen Gu thought.
"You are still a student, so there’s no need for you to co to work every day. However, when you receive a summon order, regardless of what you are doing, you must imdiately report back to the bureau."
"Additionally, you should also co to the bureau during weekends and holidays to do what you can. Consider it an internship."
"Work hard. The bureau offers good compensation and benefits."
"By the way, how are your body technique scores?"
Chen Gu feigned a lack of confidence. "Pretty good, I guess..."
Director i didn’t take it to heart. "If you’re interested in becoming a professional, then work hard to improve your body technique scores. Once you et the standard, the Bureau will give you a preliminary training plan. Complete the plan and accumulate enough rits, and you can apply to beco a professional."
Director i walked out with Chen Gu, explaining these basic details along the way. Upon reaching her office, she summoned soone. "Silver Eagle, take him for a body technique test to see what his level is."
Silver Eagle was a very attractive young man.
In Chen Gu’s opinion, he was sowhat effeminate. Look at that soft, fair skin, those red lips and white teeth, that fine, straight nose, and those bright, clear eyes that seem almost capable of speech... Not a trace of a tough guy, is there?
However, Chen Gu also knew that this kind of appearance was very popular among won these days—his good friend Zhao Ji, for example, was this type when he was young.
Director i added to Chen Gu, "Silver Eagle is a professional from the special service team. You can ask him anything you don’t understand."
"Okay."
Silver Eagle beckoned to Chen Gu. "Follow ," he said, revealing a dark-golden watch beneath his sleeve.
Chen Gu silently curled his lip. Way too showy!
In this era, chanical watches were a true luxury. Chen Gu recognized at a glance that it was a popular model among the ’big players,’ with a public price of two million two hundred thousand Starshield.
Just from this first eting, Great Actor Chen, skilled at analyzing characters, could tell. This Silver Eagle fellow loves to show off.
After the two left, the office door closed automatically. Director i sat behind the large desk, a sly smile creeping across her face.
Illuminated by the faint bluish glow of the surrounding electronic devices, she looked sowhat eerie.
In the Director’s office, Chen Jixian, who was slow to react, suddenly thought of an issue: Why would i Lixue support ? Is she offering allegiance spontaneously?
Silver Eagle led Chen Gu toward the training ground, strutting with his head held high. When people greeted him, he responded with nothing more than a slight nod.
Yet, the girls just ate it up. Following behind, Chen Gu overheard female staff mbers whispering to each other several tis after they passed by, "So handso."
Chen Gu secretly pursed his lips. Blind! Then, looking at himself again, he felt a sense of resignation. It’s because I’m ugly.
Arriving at the training ground, Silver Eagle adopted the pose of a senior, speaking indifferently, "You’re still a student; don’t aim too high. In the Bureau of Mystic Security, everyone wants to be a professional, but even at the city-level branch, the number of special agents rarely exceeds thirty."
He pointed to the nearby training equipnt, instructing, "Spend more ti exercising here. At your age, this is precisely the ti to trade effort for your future. The facilities here are much better than at school. Whether you can beco a professional depends on talent, but even if you don’t make it, you’ll still develop a strong body."
Just then, several muscle-bound n from the action team were exercising with heavy weights. The other trainees felt inferior and didn’t dare approach, carefully maintaining the hierarchy of the training space.
However, when these n saw Silver Eagle, they all put on ingratiating smiles. "Brother Eagle, you’re here! Want to give it a try? We’ll make space for you."
Silver Eagle hadn’t planned to train, but the attitudes of these n greatly satisfied his vanity. He smiled modestly, rolled up his sleeves, and removed his watch. "Just a quick try," he said. "I’m here today to accompany the newcor for the body technique test."
Silver Eagle stepped onto a high-gravity barbell rack.
One of the muscle n imdiately said, "This weight for the bench press is too light for you. Shall I increase it to double gravity, three hundred pounds?"
"Fine," Silver Eagle replied casually. "Just to warm up."
