Although his expression didn't change much on the surface, Zhou Shen's heart still unleashed towering waves of shock. How could it be possible, one minute and over thirty seconds?
He had challenged that secret realm many tis before and was fully aware of its difficulty. He knew how hard it was to clear that secret realm in one minute and thirty seconds.
At least, with his strength, it was simply impossible to achieve.
It was only with Miao's help that he had managed to clear it in just 2 minutes.
"..."
As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zhou Shen's face darkened slightly. Back then, Miao had given him a Cursed Doll with ten missiles inside. He had waited in the secret realm for over two minutes, worried that clearing it too fast would draw too much attention.
So, after two minutes, he activated the Cursed Doll.
The mont the Cursed Doll was activated, ten missiles almost destroyed the entire secret realm.
Logically speaking, his real clearing ti should have been one second.
If he had known this day would co, he wouldn't have cared about drawing attention and would have activated the Cursed Doll as soon as he entered, obliterating the secret realm instantly. He would like to see how anyone could break his record after that.
...
Chen Miao glanced at the new bureau chief standing behind him and paused briefly before speaking softly, "I rember that for the position of deputy chief, as long as one has the experience and record, one can be promoted by successfully challenging, right?"
"Zhou Shen, although you resigned, both your experience and record are sufficient."
"With your current strength, it shouldn't be very hard to break this record."
"Ah?"
Zhou Shen, who had been lost in his thoughts, was startled and quickly beca anxious as he heard Miao's words, "That, Miao, you've misunderstood. I didn't an anything by it. I still think it's more promising to stay by your side, Miao."
"I just..."
"It's fine."
Chen Miao shook his head gently and said, "Go back and sit in your bureau chief's seat, you're more suited for that position. With around, no one in Fengtian City can touch you."
"It's deputy chief."
The new bureau chief standing behind the others sneered and narrowed his eyes as he croaked, "A deputy chief can be promoted by challenging a secret realm, but a bureau chief can't be promoted that way."
"I am still standing here, how can he take over?"
Originally, he had maintained a respectful attitude, not wanting to escalate the situation, but now it seed that since the other party had overstepped, he no longer needed to be overly polite. Otherwise, it would really seem like he was easy to bully.
Talking about taking over as Events Bureau Chief right in front of him, was this not completely disregarding him?
"You?"
Chen Miao casually sized up the young man who had just taken office: "You're new to Fengtian, aren't you? Not quite familiar with the rules here? Let teach you the rules of Fengtian."
"Listen carefully."
"If by midnight tonight you haven't submitted your resignation and left the jurisdiction of Fengtian City, you won't have to leave at all. Not far from here is the Eternal Cetery."
"The feng shui there is quite good; you can stay there for a long ti."
A blatant threat.
"Goodness..."
Hungry Monkey looked at Miao in shock; it had been a while since he had seen Miao act so arrogantly. When he first followed Miao, he was very brash, but later beca more and more cautious. Today, suddenly, he was being brash again.
Chen Miao didn't speak, but lightly patted the new bureau chief on the shoulder.
"In Fengtian City, my words, Chen Miao's, are the rules."
"After coming to Fengtian City, you need to learn how to write the three characters for 'water'."
No one knew.
The reason he suddenly beca so confident was that he had found a sufficiently hidden and secure base. With a base where he had no worries, he no longer had to be so timid in his actions.
Worst case, I'll just run to the base.
Who could possibly find ?
I always use the Hell Bus for commuting; even if soone wanted to tail , they couldn't.
If soone really could track down the Hell Bus, I'd admit defeat even if I got offed halfway there—you'd really be sothing else.
...
Zhou Shen, who hadn't reacted at first, only managed to stretch a wide, seemingly regretful smirk across his face after realizing that Miao was serious, and he likewise patted the new Head's shoulder.
"Buddy, I know what you want to say. You want to say Jingjiu has got your back, and it's solid."
"But you have to understand one thing."
"No matter how solid your backing is, can it save your life from afar?"
"I, Zhang Qi, didn't grow up getting scared."
The youthful Head's expression gradually turned icy as he turned to look at the Head of the Enforcent Bureau standing beside him. "Could you please inform these gentlen what cri it is to threaten a high-ranking governnt official in public?"
"Elaborate on that."
"And what cri would it be to kill a high-ranking governnt official?"
"Elaborate on that."
"Can a supernatural being, who's luckily gained so strength, really stand against the federation, against the governnt?"
The Head of the Enforcent Bureau, standing to the side, was utterly devoid of his usual authoritative deanor normally shown before ordinary people. He stood stock-still as if he were one step away from ascension to enlightennt, not daring to say a word.
He didn't even flicker an eyelash.
Even a master who witnessed this scene would have to admire his skill.
How could he dare to speak?
It was best for him to play dead, given that he couldn't afford to offend people on either side. As the Head of Enforcent Bureau, what could he do? He surely couldn't start reciting the actual legal statutes, could he?
Chen Miao glanced at the new Head, who remained silent, and then turned to gaze into the distance toward Sankui Wasteland, patiently waiting for the impending event.
He wasn't fond of this young man.
There was sothing off-putting about him.
He seed to give off a sense of feigned maturity and hypocrisy.
"Rember this well."
Hungry Monkey looked at the new Head with a face full of earnestness and spoke up, "Leave Fengtian City before dawn, and if you really seek revenge, obediently go to Jingjiu City, gather your reinforcents, and then co back to settle the score, okay?"
"Sotis, when I co across stubborn people like you, it gives a headache."
"Even if you want revenge, you can always do it later, right? Why insist on courting death?"
"Go back, go on, be good."
"Miao is kind-hearted after all, giving you the chance to go back and call for help, isn't he?"
"Reinforcents?"
The new Head, already sowhat red-faced with anger, couldn't help but retort furiously, "Do you have any idea who the hell I am? My na is Zhang Qi! I'm from the Zhang Family of Jingjiu City! Do you know the Zhang Family?"
Stay connected with empire
"The Beifeng Pharmaceutical Group with a market value in the trillions—that's our Zhang Family's!"
"Zhang Wanlin is my cousin, and the Zhang Family Head, Zhang Boling, is my uncle!"
"Do you understand what it ans to talk to so brazenly? It ans you're as good as dead. The Zhang Family could snuff you out easier than crushing an ant!"
