Hearing what the man had said, the young girl couldn't help but feel unconvinced.
She pouted and argued, "But that strength is too low, isn't it?"
"Only a high-tier Awakener."
"Even promotions beyond one's level should consider the actual circumstances."
"With such strength, how can he suppress the various departnts below? How can he suppress those thorny military position commissioners?"
She paused, "Moreover, I checked his resu, and he only joined the Security Bureau three months ago. During these three months, he was promoted beyond his level almost every half a month."
"Most of those in the Security Bureau are his forr superiors. Will those people be convinced?"
Fearing her companions might misunderstand her point, the girl quickly added, "I'm not objecting to him. I'm worried he might jeopardize our mission."
"Although our own strength is sufficient, and we don't need the local Security Bureau's support to handle the descending Flower God."
"But after all, we are not locals, unaware of many insider details, which require help from the local Security Bureau."
"At this ti, Xida State has changed its director, and it's a newly promoted one whose strength cannot command respect. Who knows if the local Security Bureau can still operate normally?"
Having said this, she again pursed her lips and said, "I suspect that the people of Xida State, seeing that we have taken over an important case and are planning experints in Erald City, are disgruntled and want to throw wrenches into our plans."
"Otherwise, a director of a high-level city's security bureau, even if promoted beyond his level, would also require at least Yang Transformation third-phase."
"Usually, a promotion requires Yang Transformation fifth-phase, or even perfection of the transformation phase. So, this situation is obviously very fishy."
Upon hearing the girl's words, several mbers of the Special Task Force in the carriage fell silent.
After a mont, seeing his subordinates stirred by the girl's speech, the leader, a middle-aged man, slowly spoke up, "Let's drop this subject."
"Who becos the director is an internal affair of the states."
"Our jurisdiction over the region, except in ergency situations, in principle, does not allow us to interfere with the internal affairs of the states."
"So talking more about it is pointless. Let's go et Director Fang first."
Upon saying this, the man at the front gazed out the window with a profound look, lost in thought...
And hearing the head man's words, though other team mbers said nothing more, they covertly exchanged glances....
......
anwhile.
At the Erald City Security Bureau.
Under Little You's guidance, Fang Ze also t Jiang Cheng, who had been waiting in the eting room all this ti.
Jiang Cheng was still sitting there elegantly as he always did when eting him, holding a book in his hands, exuding an aura of nobility, as though not even the collapse of Mount Tai would change his expression.
But since they had been rivals for a long ti, Fang Ze knew very well about the incident when a Yang Transformation-level was killed, and Jiang Cheng, like a dog that had lost its ho, had scrambled to flee at the first instance.
So...he paid no regard to Jiang Cheng's commanding presence. He tapped on the table and asked, "Commissioner Jiang, did you want to see for sothing?"
Jiang Cheng had already seen Fang Ze, but only after hearing Fang Ze's question did he slowly put down his book.
He then smiled elegantly at Fang Ze and said, "Fang Ze, take a seat. I'd like to talk with you."
To be honest, Fang Ze was very busy today. He really didn't have ti for Jiang Cheng's nonsense. So he didn't bother to sit down but simply checked his watch and said, "I'll stand. I'm quite busy today; you only have five minutes."
This tactic, straight from Jiang Cheng's father's playbook, turned out to be especially effective for Jiang Cheng.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression stiffened for a mont, but he finally got to the point, "I am here on behalf of the Jiang family to retrieve the 'Faith Ascension Path'."
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Fang Ze then rembered that he still hadn't given the Jiang family the item for their transaction.
Thinking this, he cursed the nobility for their roundabout ways, opened his Space Folding Bag, and took out the already-prepared "Faith Ascension Path," throwing it to Jiang Cheng.
"Here's what you wanted. Take a look."
Jiang Cheng took the booklet, flipped it open, and started reading it seriously.
As he read, he nodded silently, appearing to understand.
After a mont, he closed the booklet and asked Fang Ze, "You...haven't deceived us, have you?"
Fang Ze sneered disdainfully, "In our hotown, there's a saying: 'A man stands by his word.' I am a person who values trustworthiness and upholds the spirit of a contract most."
"So, just rest assured," he added.
Thinking it over, Jiang Cheng recalled the information he had gathered on Fang Ze. Fang Ze seed...indeed always to keep his promises. It was said...he was even the only one who would repay Bai Ling's money.
With this in mind, Jiang Cheng felt relieved.
Seeing that Jiang Cheng had no other business, Fang Ze didn't bother to stay longer and turned to leave.
Just as he was about to reach the door, suddenly Jiang Cheng called out to him again, "Wait a second, Fang Ze."
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Fang Ze paused again, but this ti, he didn't even turn around. He appeared ready to leave at any mont of disagreent.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng spoke slowly, "What is your current level of strength?"
Fang Ze hesitated a mont: His own strength?
