334: Security authority delegated!

The manager had told her to stand still and not move.

But was she supposed to just stand there like an idiot, letting that Little Girl and that consistently calm man stare at her?

Lin Yao looked at her soul-shattered appearance and curled her lip, about to add a few more mocking remarks, but was stopped by a gesture from Lin Yu.

There was no need.

Humiliating a bottom-tier employee who had already broken down held no interest.

Lin Yu's gaze shifted past the receptionist and landed on a corridor deep within the lobby.

He knew this wasn't over yet.

Sure enough, just as the receptionist's body began to tremble uncontrollably, the virtual light screen in front of her lit up again.

It wasn't a communication request, but a line of bold red text carrying an indisputable command.

[Security authorization delegated. Level 3 Response permissions. Clear the area immediately and expel the troublemakers.]

[Do not allow any more mistakes!]

This line of text was like a shot of adrenaline injected into the receptionist's body.

She suddenly straightened her back.

Her scattered focus refocused, and a sickly flush rose to her deathly pale face.

The manager hadn't given up on her!

The manager had given her the authority to handle this!

Expulsion!

Yes, as long as these two were kicked out, everything would be resolved!

As for Zhao Tianyang... the manager's meaning was clear. These two scammers weren't worthy of disturbing that VIP at all! They should just be dealt with directly using security forces!

In that instant, all her fear, humiliation, and anxiety transformed into a more intense malice and confidence.

She looked up, meeting Lin Yu's gaze once more.

That sense of superiority that had just been shattered was pieced back together in an even more distorted fashion.

What kind of place was the Organization?

It was Linzhou City's largest private training facility!

The security forces here were elites capable of handling most emergencies. Never mind two ordinary-looking young people; even if famous Professionals came here to cause trouble, the security team had the confidence to subdue them in the shortest time possible!

She had overthought it.

Why would dealing with scammers require disturbing a distinguished guest?

Beating them out of here was the most correct way to handle it!

She flexed her stiff fingers and pressed the call button representing the highest security level on the light screen.

"Buzz..."

A faint hum emanated from the alloy walls on both sides of the lobby.

The Transferred Ones who were still whispering jumped up like startled rabbits, instinctively backing away.

"Holy crap! It's the Black Armor Guard!"

"Level 3 response? For these two, they're actually deploying the Black Armor Guard?"

"Is this receptionist crazy? Does she know what she's doing?"

The murmurs carried a hint of genuine terror.

The walls on both sides of the lobby slid open silently, and two squads of men marched out with synchronized steps.

Eight people in total.

They were entirely encased in pitch-black special alloy armor, revealing only two eyepieces flickering with cold electronic light. In their hands, they held the latest military-modified Energy Suppression Rifles, their muzzles wreathed in faint blue electric arcs.

On their backs and waists, they carried various styles of weapons according to their respective classes, but without exception, all of them looked high-quality at a glance!

As soon as they appeared, the air in the entire lobby became heavy.

It was a pressure born purely from power and discipline.

The captain leading them, whose frame was a size larger than the others, walked up to the service desk, his synthesized mechanical voice ringing out.

"Where is the target?"

The receptionist's confidence reached its peak at this moment.

She extended her finger and pointed sharply at Lin Yu and Lin Yao.

"It's them!"

The captain's electronic eyepieces turned toward Lin Yu.

Lin Yu looked at the group of security personnel armed to the teeth, then at the weapons in their hands that were clearly not decorations, and finally felt a hint of strangeness.

He tilted his head and looked at the receptionist.

"Is this Zhao Tianyang?"

Did he get thinner?

This question caused the surrounding air to freeze for a moment.

The Transferred Ones watching the scene looked at him as if he were an idiot.

Even the Black Armor Captain's movements stalled for half a second.

The receptionist let out a sneer, as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Mr. Zhao Tianyang?"

Her voice rose, full of contempt and mockery. "With just you two, are you even worthy of having Mr. Zhao show up in person?"

"Since we've already determined you're scammers trying to sneak in, wouldn't it be a dereliction of duty for the Organization to let you disturb a VIP's peace?"

She spoke with righteous conviction.

In her eyes, the facts were crystal clear.

These two were scammers.

And she was the hero who exposed the scammers and maintained the rules.

The trace of amusement on Lin Yu's face finally faded away.

It was replaced by a calm coldness.

"So, you plan to just drive us out without any regard for right or wrong?"

"What do you mean 'without regard for right or wrong'?"

The receptionist took a step forward, her back straight, believing she had total control of the situation and had seen through the whole truth.

She looked down at Lin Yu, pronouncing her final judgment word by word.

"The fact that your account cannot be found is the truth!"

"Using Mr. Zhao Tianyang's name is the evidence!"

"Now, I'm giving you one last chance. Get out on your own, or..." She paused, her cold gaze sweeping over Lin Yao beside Lin Yu, "let my colleagues 'invite' you out!"

Having received the signal, the Black Armor Captain took a step forward.

His cold electronic eyepieces locked onto Lin Yu.

"You two, please."

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven team members behind him fanned out, faintly surrounding Lin Yu and Lin Yao.

The muzzles of the seven Mana Suppression Rifles lit up with a dangerous blue light simultaneously.

That cold blue light reflected in Lin Yu's pupils, yet it didn't cause even a ripple.

He didn't even look at the dark muzzles, but simply stared calmly at the receptionist.

This calmness caused the confidence that had just risen in the receptionist's heart to falter slightly for some reason.

But the arrow was already on the string and had to be fired.

She held her head high in a victor's pose, masking the last trace of unease in her heart.

Seeing Lin Yu and his sister unmoved, a hint of impatience entered the Black Armor Captain's synthesized voice.

"First warning. If you do not cooperate, we will take coercive measures."

The fingers of the team members behind him were already on the triggers.

The air in the lobby was compressed to its limit.

The Transferred Ones watching the scene even lightened their breathing, afraid to miss a single detail.

They had seen the Black Armor Guard deployed before, but usually to handle high-level Professionals causing trouble while drunk.

Using a formation sufficient to suppress a squad-level Abyss Domain creature to deal with two ordinary-looking young people was a first.
