122: Chapter 122 Director Su is so handsome
America.
Staring at the American continent, which was ravaged by arson, looting, and widespread destruction.
Twilight Star Goddess Ai Lin's snow-white, holy face creased slightly, her delicate brows furrowing. Star-like ice crystals flickered between her eyelashes. She parted her red lips and murmured to herself:
"Oh, Lord of Light... In such a beautiful continent filled with light, why must these people kill each other? Do they not know... that humans on many planets are still living in eternal darkness?"
The sun shone down warmly. Twilight Star Goddess Ai Lin narrowed her eyes slightly, her entire being seemingly radiating holy brilliance.
She looked at the crowd killing each other on the ground below and waved her hand gently...
"You foolish humans! In the name of the Twilight Star Goddess, I command you to lay down your weapons... From this moment on... cease your fighting!"
She thought that after unleashing her powerful Divine Power, the crowd on the ground would obey her, but she soon realized something...
"My Divine Power... has disappeared?"
Disbelief appeared on Ai Lin's face.
She immediately cast a Spell; Holy Light shot out from her fingertips. In the distance below, the dark, ink-colored lake instantly surged with monstrous waves. A giant mutant crocodile was struck by the Spell, let out a mournful cry, flipped onto its back, and died on the surface of the water.
Immediately, information seemed to be received in Ai Lin's mind.
"Universe... Pangu God Domain..."
"Earth... Divine Power restricted?"
"My Divine Power can only exert one ten-thousandth?"
"Equivalent to the Spirit Transformation Realm Great Perfection stage?"
Ai Lin murmured in disbelief, but she had to accept reality.
She had originally fallen during the great war between gods and demons on the Ancient Battlefield, using the Pearl of Life to preserve her last sliver of vitality, and was buried beneath the Elementary Magic Academy in Winnie Town on the Vinnister Continent.
After sleeping for thirty thousand years, using a reincarnated Clone, and receiving the infusion of life force from that powerful Goblin, she finally managed to achieve Rebirth...
The memories of that Clone were all fused with her divine body.
However, she hadn't expected to be defeated by the eyeball of Dark Lord Azmog and fall onto this Earth through a spatial rift.
She didn't expect that after leaving her home, the Twilight Star Universe, and arriving here, her Divine Power would be restricted to only one ten-thousandth, equivalent only to the Spirit Transformation Realm Great Perfection stage.
Even though she was now the strongest combatant on Earth, this feeling of restricted Divine Power still made her heart uncomfortable.
"That Goblin... I can sense a trace of his aura. I must go find him."
Ai Lin looked at the American humans still killing each other. Having lost her powerful Divine Power, she could only sigh; she was completely unable to stop them...
Afterward, she flew toward the East...
Great Xia, Ninth Safe Zone.
In the Justice Bureau staff dormitory, Qin Xiaoxiao helped Su Fan fasten the top button of his uniform, and Su Fan's posture instantly straightened.
Then, Qin Xiaoxiao draped a green woolen military overcoat over him and placed a peaked cap on his head.
Suddenly, the aura of a young warlord emerged from Su Fan...
"Wow, baby, you look so handsome!"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled.
After speaking, she leaned in to kiss him.
After the kiss, she whispered in Su Fan's ear: "Let's wear our uniforms and do it another day... It will definitely be a different feeling..."
"Alright, stop talking. Let's go, time to go to work!"
A short while later, in the conference room.
All the section chiefs and deputy section chiefs were sitting straight in two rows. After the guard pulled open the heavy doors of the conference room, Su Fan walked in with steady steps.
"Attention!!!"
All the mid-to-high-level managers of the Justice Bureau, wearing peaked caps, stood up straight, and with a crisp "snap," they saluted in unison.
Qin Xiaoxiao puffed out her chest proudly, glancing over secretly, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile. When Su Fan's gaze swept over, she even winked mischievously, as if casting a Spell.
"Please sit!"
Su Fan sat in the main seat. Unlike Sun Yaowu, he didn't place his peaked cap on the table but leaned back, his posture natural.
"First item on the agenda: Personnel appointments and removals."
Secretary Bai presided over the meeting. His voice was steady. "Promote Zhang Xin of the First Security Division to Chief of the 13th Security Section, promote Wang Hao of the 9th Security Section to Deputy Chief of the 13th Security Section, and transfer the former Chief of the 13th Security Section, Qin Xiaoxiao, to Deputy Secretary of the Secretariat."
Hearing this personnel arrangement, no one had any objections.
Especially Qin Xiaoxiao; her transfer to the Secretariat was something she had requested. Although her power was smaller, she felt satisfied being able to accompany Su Fan.
The promotion of Zhang Xin to Chief of the 13th Security Section was mainly because he had the cultivation of Foundation Establishment and had previously helped Qin Xiaoxiao escort bandits like "Huang Lang" and "Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang."
As for promoting Wang Hao to Deputy Chief, there was no other reason; it was simply that Su Fan knew him from before, and this guy was now his loyal little fanboy.
"Second item on the agenda, please invite Bureau Chief Su to deliver a speech."
Hearing the words "Bureau Chief Su," Su Fan felt quite emotional.
Not long ago, he was just a small intern. He hadn't expected to sit in the position of Bureau Chief in such a short time.
After reviewing the files and some case records of the former Deputy Bureau Chief Liu Yang, he felt deeply at this moment that his initial choice to hide his cultivation must have been the right one.
When you can't see what's ahead, it's better to be cautious, better to be a bit cowardly.
Although Liu Yang's files and records had been tampered with, based on some clues, he could still analyze that Liu Yang had had strength, status, and popularity, and definitely had the potential to become Bureau Chief. He hadn't expected to be set up by Sun Yaowu, who was the Chief of the First Security Division at the time. His family was killed tragically, and he ended up with his family destroyed.
The game of power... is not fun at all.
At this moment, Su Fan also felt like he was walking on thin ice, with needles pricking his back.
Thinking of this, he looked at all the colleagues present and spoke lightly: "Everyone, our future work focus remains unchanged. Ensuring the safety of the lives and property of citizens inside and outside the Safe Zone is our primary duty. In addition, we must strengthen our pursuit of criminals and expand the scope of pursuit. As for the Superpower Affairs Administration, Xiaoxiao, you go communicate with them. Important cases must be ensured to be submitted to our bureau immediately."
Qin Xiaoxiao nodded with a smile: "Okay, Su-su... ah, ptooey, Bureau Chief Su!"
"Next, there's nothing else to say. Get done what you need to do."
"Dismissed."
Su Fan did not choose the approach of "a new official lighting three fires" to carry out drastic reforms.
Although he had already discovered some problems within the Justice Bureau, he chose to let the entire Justice Bureau continue to operate as usual for now, and solve these hidden dangers bit by bit at the right time in the future.
Rather than showing his desire for reform impatiently as soon as he took office.
Of course, if he had absolute power, he could do that.
But he did not have absolute power right now.
The power center of the Ninth Safe Zone was in the Emergency Committee, not with him...
Therefore, he could only keep a low profile.
After the meeting, everyone dispersed.
When the news of the promotion reached Zhang Xin and Wang Hao, both were overjoyed.
Especially Wang Hao, who was ecstatic. He had never expected that with his mere Qi Refining 4th Layer cultivation, he could become a Deputy Chief.
Learning that it was Bureau Chief Su who personally promoted him, his admiration for Su Fan grew even deeper.
After the meeting work ended, Su Fan accompanied Qin Xiaoxiao to the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.
The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs was considered a clerical unit. Although it was on the same level as the Justice Bureau, it actually had to obey the work arrangements of the Justice Bureau.
At this time, at the entrance of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.
Staff members were guiding some people who had just awakened extraordinary powers to fill out forms to apply to join the Justice Bureau. Su Fan recalled that he had also been queuing here that day.
Because he hadn't exposed his cultivation, he had been treated impolitely.
Of course, he was not the type to seek revenge for the slightest grievance, nor would he care about these small matters.
When he saw the staff member who had been impolite to him earlier walk over, bowing and scraping in a flattering manner, he only nodded and smiled faintly, telling him to continue with his work.
Afterward, Qin Xiaoxiao took him on a tour of all the departments of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.
When they saw this young new Bureau Chief, all the female staff here lit up simultaneously, whispering "Wow" and secretly calling out: "So handsome, so handsome..."
