Free Web NovelChapter 82: Chapter 81: New Boss! Zhang Wei: Confidence Is the Peak
’A sound-based offensive Divine Technique?’
In truth, compared to this offensive Divine Technique, Su Bai would have much rather drawn some kind of support-type Divine Technique.
For instance, a Divine Technique to enhance his Divine Sense, or boost his defense and speed!
He already possessed more than enough offensive Cultivation Techniques and Divine Techniques.
This Sixth-Grade Divine Technique, Calamity Sound, was of limited use to him.
Su Bai gave it a quick try and found that its power was underwhelming due to its low layer.
Shaking his head, Su Bai paid it no more mind.
’Not bad! I’ve already accumulated over six million Experience Points!’
Upon seeing his accumulated Experience Points, Su Bai immediately raised his Realm by two minor levels.
He broke through to the Innate Realm Third Level!
Once the breakthrough was complete, Su Bai collapsed into bed and fell asleep.
The next morning, Su Bai headed to the lounge.
He had just reached for a meat bun when an excited Zhang Wei rushed over, grabbed him by the arm, and began dragging him outside.
"What are you doing?"
"Assembly!"
"Didn’t we already have an assembly?"
Su Bai looked surprised.
’Everyone already assembled and answered roll call when we got here this morning!’
’What? Don’t tell me we have to do roll call twice?’
Su Bai was shocked.
Zhang Wei explained, "I heard there’s a new boss. We have to assemble for a roll call so he can put names to faces..."
’A new boss?’
Su Bai grew thoughtful.
A short while later, Su Bai saw the new boss Zhang Wei had been talking about.
The man wore the distinctive red robe of the Prison Suppression Bureau and a special black Treasure Saber hung at his waist. His expression was solemn and stern.
Standing in the ranks, Su Bai looked at the man, blinked, and thought to himself.
’I can’t believe it’s him...’
’For some reason, Ning Fengyun has left the Demon-slaying Bureau and transferred to the Prison Suppression Bureau!’
...
「Inside an exquisite palace.」
"Hm? An expert at the Extraordinary Realm Third Level has transferred to my Prison Suppression Bureau?"
Murong Hai sat on the main seat of the grand hall, the hand flipping through official documents slowly coming to a halt.
He then looked with surprise at the high-ranking Prison Suppression Bureau official who had come to deliver the report.
"Yes! But this man... is no ordinary Extraordinary Realm Third Level Martial Artist!"
The high-ranking official explained, "He is the son of the Sea Suppression King! Ning Fengyun from the Demon-slaying Bureau!"
Murong Hai was momentarily stunned before a smile spread across his face. "Ah, that’s excellent news!" ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Perfect. The Prison Suppression Bureau has been very short-staffed lately. Having an Extraordinary Realm expert of his caliber join will relieve a great deal of pressure!"
"By the way, do we know why he transferred to the Prison Suppression Bureau?"
The senior official shook his head. "I haven’t heard the reason..."
"However, I suspect it’s because he nearly died under the claws of that Bloodthirsty Wolf Demon late last night. The near-death experience must have been quite a shock!"
"I heard that as soon as he returned to the Demon-slaying Bureau last night, he immediately submitted his resignation to Director Zhan Taiyue!"
"And apparently, his bullheaded insistence on leaving, refusing all counsel, has made Director Zhan Taiyue absolutely furious!"
"And what do you know!"
"First thing this morning, he showed up here on his own initiative!"
"Haha! Excellent!"
Hearing that his old rival was furious, Murong Hai slammed his hand on the table and shot to his feet, letting out three hearty laughs in sheer delight!
He could just imagine the sight of Zhan Taiyue flying into a rage!
"Heh! The Demon-slaying Bureau... is indeed a dangerous place."
"The targets they deal with are either bizarre Demon Fiends or terrifying Demon Beasts. Transferring to the Prison Suppression Bureau was the right choice for him!"
Snapping out of his reverie, Murong Hai chuckled softly.
"Right... The Sea Suppression King and I go way back, and his son was just terrified by a Great Demon..."
After a moment’s thought, Murong Hai continued, "Let’s do this: arrange some easier assignments for him. Give him a sinecure to tide him over."
"My lord! I’ve already assigned him to the B-Class Prison!"
"That’s fine!"
The high-ranking official then spoke up hesitantly, "My lord..."
"With the Sea Suppression King’s son coming to our Prison Suppression Bureau... won’t that make things awkward with Director Zhan Taiyue and Lord Luo?"
Murong Hai snorted coldly. "Awkward? The one who should find this awkward is Zhan Taiyue!"
Transfers between bureaus have always been fairly common, but it’s usually Martial Artists and Prison Chiefs from our Prison Suppression Bureau transferring to the Demon-slaying Bureau or other departments!
After all, the compensation at the Demon-slaying Bureau is indeed a bit better than at the Prison Suppression Bureau!
And the environment inside the prison is just abysmal!
But someone transferring *from* the Demon-slaying Bureau *to* the Prison Suppression Bureau is extremely rare!
And let’s not forget, the Sea Suppression King is a Prince personally ennobled by Emperor Xia himself—a man of immense power and prestigious status!
Moreover, Ning Fengyun is a genius Martial Artist who broke through to the Extraordinary Realm Third Level before he even turned thirty!
The son of such a man transferring from the Demon-slaying Bureau to the Prison Suppression Bureau... this is bound to cause headaches for some people!
’Recently, two Martial Arts Great Powers have appeared one after another in our Great Xia Prison!’
’Not long ago, a powerful Night Hero even appeared!’
’And today, a genius Martial Artist from the Demon-slaying Bureau is transferring to my Prison Suppression Bureau!’
’Could it be...’
’...that the Great Xia Prison and the Prison Suppression Bureau are about to rise!?’
Murong Hai’s mood soared as he indulged in these fantasies.
Things were really... looking up!
In such a fine mood,
Murong Hai found even the tedious task of reviewing and approving official documents to be full of pleasure.
...
"I am Ning Fengyun. Henceforth, I will be fully responsible for all matters concerning Zone B Prison!"
Ning Fengyun’s expression was solemn as he swept his gaze over the assembled crowd and spoke in a cold, detached tone.
Standing in the crowd, Su Bai watched the man before him with a sense of stunned disbelief.
’The Demon-slaying Bureau Martial Artist I saved twice is one day going to be my direct superior!’
’How amusing.’
Su Bai was actually quite pleased about Ning Fengyun’s arrival.
After all, the man had a decent reputation and no history of oppressing his subordinates.
Moreover, Ning Fengyun hadn’t come alone; he had brought his younger sister, Ning Ye Xue, with him!
He brought her along to handle miscellaneous paperwork!
And Ning Ye Xue was a great beauty, ranked twenty-first on the List of Beauties!
She was quite popular among the Martial Artists of the Prison Suppression Bureau! ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
"Holy shit! Lord Ning really brought his sister, Ning Ye Xue!"
"I must be dreaming!"
"Such a beautiful woman..."
And just like that, these "animals," who had been pent-up for far too long in the dark, damp prison...
...when had they ever seen a girl so beautiful?
...were suddenly acting like they were on steroids, buzzing with excitement!
They were one step short of howling like a pack of wolves!
Su Bai watched his young colleagues, shaking his head with a chuckle.
Suddenly, Zhang Wei, who was standing beside him, spoke with a solemn expression. "Brother Su Bai! I’ve made a decision!"
"From now on, I will brush my teeth, wash my face, burn incense, and bathe every single day!"
Su Bai took a step back, aghast. "You mean you don’t already brush your teeth and wash your face every day?"
"That’s not the point!"
Zhang Wei waved his hand dismissively. "The point is, I have to make a good impression on Lady Ye Xue!"
"I’m going to give her a home!"
"This is all about whether I can latch onto a wealthy patron and live a life of luxury from now on!"
Su Bai listened from the side, utterly dumbfounded.
’He had to admire Zhang Wei’s confidence.’
’Incredible.’
’That’s my Brother Wei for you!’
