The glass windows of the skyscraper rose layer upon layer, resembling a blue-green ocean.
The seven grand characters of the Nanjiang City Joint Council reflected the sky at the top, as one flying car after another sliced through the airwaves, descending from the sky.
Buzz!
The tail waves swept up, and the gray stone brick plaza was filled with silhouettes.
City elites in suits filled the scene, with the secretaries and assistants of various council mbers, as well as trusted strong security personnel.
So holding guns, others carrying briefcases.
Amidst the throng of escorts, council mbers stepped out, engaging in light-hearted conversation, and walked into the building.
"From a small place, you’ll always be from a small place."
"Even if there’s an opportunity, you’ll never be able to surpass your social class."
Overlooking this scene, the suited figure inside the descending flying device wore a calm expression, adjusting his gold-rimd glasses.
The security personnel behind him offered no rebuttal, instead they all looked beyond the cabin door with agreent and indifference, as if waiting for the several council mbers there.
Fat-faced and beaming, their ingratiating expressions were obvious without words.
"Secretary Liu!"
"Secretary Liu, you’re finally here."
Voices of enthusiastic flattery rose, drawing many gazes over to the flying device with several red water wave patterns.
The cabin door opened, and the slender, scholarly man with gold-rimd glasses rely adjusted his collar, nodding calmly.
A palpable reserve was clear, but the waiting council mbers dared not show any displeasure.
Even as just a secretary, he was not soone they could afford to offend.
Let alone....
"Secretary Liu, please convey the matter to Mr. Han...."
"Later."
Responding calmly, Secretary Liu maintained a standard deanor.
The waiting council mbers cursed inwardly but could only continue to smile, escorting the man towards the building.
Soft whispers of conversation faintly reached his ears, and Secretary Liu could sense the hidden thoughts among the people, as well as the private envy and jealousy directed at him.
But it didn’t matter.
As long as he was still under the big tree of Chi Bo Energy, then...
Buzz!
Suddenly, a black sedan arrived.
The group about to enter the building paused, and soon more bustling voices arose.
"Councilman Chen."
"Councilman Chen, you’re here!"
"Over here, Councilman Chen!"
Even more enthusiastic greetings followed consecutively.
Secretary Liu clearly saw the young man in black alight from the car, surrounded by even more council mbers on both sides.
"I heard the Fla Tiger Sect has produced a new Grandmaster, to celebrate with a Mountain Gate ceremony tomorrow."
"Indeed quite the fortune.... at this rate, a second Holy Sect might erge."
The low discussions of the surrounding council mbers reached his ears, and upon hearing this, Secretary Liu adjusted his gold-rimd glasses.
His eyes darkened, and he eventually led his people away quickly.
As if sensing sothing, Chen Feng turned his head slightly to glance at the backs of the departing group.
So soon, soone has aligned with Chi Bo Energy?
"Since the announcent of the Radiant Secret Realm, several council mbers have sought to trade with Chi Bo Energy for so high-level transformation modules."
Fellow councilman Li Hai stood by his side, speaking in a low voice, his hair gray but his body still robust.
Hearing this, Chen Feng felt a stir in his heart, then perceived that the surrounding security forces had grown stronger to so extent.
Council mbers like Li Hai, hailing from military and special departnts, naturally had more avenues for obtaining resources.
So were already collaborating with super large enterprises like Black Crystal Group and Jade Biotechnology, making subsequent security upgrades fairly straightforward.
In contrast...
Glancing over, those who had been observing and whose resource channels were generally limited found themselves mostly at a disadvantage.
To elevate their security levels, they had no choice but to attach themselves to these super corporations.
Suppressing the thought, he and Li Hai, along with others, entered the building, heading straight for the top-floor conference room.
Along the way, word had already spread, and people seized the opportunity to congratulate him.
"Councilman Chen, congratulations on your ntor’s breakthrough to Grandmaster."
"Indeed, Councilman Chen, congratulations, congratulations."
"Old Sun has urgent matters tomorrow, else I’d also love to attend the ceremony..."
Such voices echoed one after another, their goodwill evident without need for words.
Chen Feng responded mostly with nods, finally arriving outside the conference room.
Warm sunlight spilled in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and in the corridor, every ter was occupied by either chanical martial artists or transford individuals.
Even within the open mahogany doors.
Chen Feng also sensed the energy field of a Fifth-Order Transford Human.
Looking up, there was a familiar middle-aged man in a black wool coat, sitting on Zhang Songta’s left.
With a slender physique, the naplate on the table bore the na Sun Ling, who was precisely that Sun-nad Red General who had previously visited the Martial Arts Hall to question him.
"Sun Chijiang’s presence in Nanjiang truly brings great relief to our Security Bureau...."
Zhang Songta was conversing with the man, his face filled with a warm smile.
Many people heard this and were secretly alard, looking at the sowhat indifferent face across from them, surprised that this was a Red General?
In the midst of doubtful discussions, perhaps sensing sothing.
The Red General suddenly turned his head and then stood up proactively, smiling as he recognized the black-clothed youth with a handshake.
"Councilman Chen."
"Sun Chijiang."
With a nod, Chen Feng was also sowhat surprised by the other’s reappearance.
Could it be that there’s more to the Luo Wantao matter?
"I had so tasks temporarily, specially dispatched to Nanjiang."
Sun Ling offered a helpless smile, voluntarily giving a brief explanation.
Sensing no malice, Chen Feng was thoughtful, then saw a figure in gray approaching from outside the conference room doors.
"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Chu Shihong still wearing a gray wool coat, quickly moved to the head seat and sat down.
Chen Feng ceased his small talk with the other man, and everyone else took their seats.
