41: Chapter 41 The Vice President of Humanity Arrives in Person

At the Alliance branch in D-6 Base City, the tense atmosphere was palpable.

Cai Jiguang paced back and forth in his office, his expression anxious.

He looked like a father anxiously waiting outside a delivery room.

Gao Changpeng, however, was leisurely drinking his seventh cup of tea.

He grumbled to himself, "If you keep pacing like that, old man, we'll need to replace the floor immediately."

Suddenly, a sharp alert sound echoed throughout the entire Alliance building.

Buzz! The Human Alliance headquarters' private aircraft had arrived.

At the same time, the human base's automatic notification System activated its highest priority.

It was the courtesy reserved exclusively for a B-Class Tenth Level.

At that moment, everyone inside the Alliance building froze.

Even the mop in the cleaner's hand stopped moving.

Cai Jiguang stood up straight abruptly and muttered to himself, "He has come in person..."

The teacup slipped from Gao Changpeng's hand, shattering on the floor with a bang, yet he didn't even notice.

He looked panicked and asked, "He's here!? Who's here?"

The Vice Chairman of the Human Alliance, a top-tier B-Class Tenth Level warrior, had arrived at D-6 Base City.

Outside the building, a black aircraft descended from the sky like a Heavenly God.

A gust of wind swept across the plaza, and all the nearby warriors instinctively felt an inexplicable pressure descending upon them.

They were forced to bow their waists.

The black aircraft roared in mid-air, and the cabin door suddenly opened.

Then, a middle-aged man wearing a simple black trench coat walked out.

There were no flashy movements, no gangway, no red carpet. He simply stepped out and walked through the air, descending as if walking down stairs.

With every step, the air beneath his feet rippled slightly.

His hands were behind his back, and the hem of his coat fluttered.

Who was he? The Vice Chairman of the Human Alliance, Xiao Wanlong.

He also had another title: Dawn of the Human Race.

He was one of the pioneer warriors of the Human Race after the Great Cataclysm, fighting side by side with the strongest, Cang, to resist monster invasions and re-establish the civilization order of the Human Race on the Wasteland.

Fifteen years ago, during a great war, he achieved a Breakthrough to the B-Class Tenth Level. Since then, for these past fifteen years, he had never stepped out of A-1 Base City. Until today.

Cai Jiguang, Gao Changpeng, and several other Advanced Alliance personnel bowed deeply with trembling bodies, performing the highest etiquette with sweat-dampened palms.

Xiao Wanlong said in a calm voice, "Take me to see that boy."

No one dared to delay; they practically sprinted along the hallway.

In Cai Jiguang's office, Lu Chen was sitting casually on the sofa, reading a book on Cultivation theory from the bookshelf as if he were flipping through a weekly magazine.

Suddenly, he felt a massive pressure descending from the sky, as if a natural predator had appeared in the animal kingdom, and he inexplicably felt a heart-palpitating pressure.

He raised his head and muttered to himself, "Hmm... A strong person has arrived."

He hurriedly activated the Primal Eternal Origin Art, fixing his own Cultivation at the F-rank, Tenth Layer.

Boom! The door suddenly opened. Well, the door was only pushed gently, but in Lu Chen's Spirit world, it felt like a terrifying elemental storm had suddenly exploded.

Then Cai Jiguang walked in from outside, like a parent taking their child to a parent-teacher meeting, running over to Lu Chen in a flash, pulling him up, and saying, "Sir! This is Lu Chen!"

Xiao Wanlong walked into the room, radiating a suffocating pressure from his body. The moment he walked in, the air solidified, and it seemed as if even the office lights dimmed.

The office desks and bookshelves in the room creaked under that pressure, unable to bear it. It was as if an elephant had barged into a small room; merely its massive size made the small animals in the space feel uncomfortable.

Lu Chen blinked and raised his hand, saying, "Hi. Hello?"

Xiao Wanlong's eyebrows twitched violently. Just like that? This was his reaction?

Did this kid just greet him, the second strongest person in the Human Alliance? Hi?

Xiao Wanlong stared at Lu Chen. Lu Chen looked straight ahead, quietly meeting his gaze, as if engaged in a silent contest.

Cai Jiguang was terrified and hurriedly tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Lu Chen, do not provoke this person. If he sneezes, our entire building will turn into ruins."

Xiao Wanlong slowly stepped forward, his eyes narrowing slightly. "Are you the little guy who Awakening and achieved a Breakthrough to an F-Class Warrior at the F-rank, Tenth Layer within five days?"

Lu Chen nodded. "Yes. But to be honest, I didn't do this alone."

"I just obtained a treasure from a mysterious Senior."

The aura around Xiao Wanlong fluctuated slightly. Humility? This was even more terrifying. A monster's humility was like an apology from a beast before it bites you.

Xiao Wanlong said, "Because of a treasure, is it? You obtained the treasure from a Senior? Are you talking about the Senior that Cai Jiguang sent to act as your Guardian?"

"Even if you really obtained a treasure, there has never been a treasure in history capable of such a rapid Breakthrough in Realm."

"I have a list of all the top resources and treasures above the Wasteland. No treasure can achieve this level."

"And you are just an F-Class Warrior; how could you possibly obtain those treasures that rapidly increase Cultivation?"

"Unless you relied on yourself and achieved a Breakthrough to the tenth layer overnight."

Xiao Wanlong continued, "Also, I don't remember the Alliance assigning such a person. Perhaps it was someone from your Lu family?"

Lu Chen blinked. "You know my family?"

Xiao Wanlong snorted coldly and said, "Of course I know them. Your Great-Grandfather, Great-Grandfather, is a high-ranking official of the Human Alliance."

"And since you achieved a Breakthrough to warrior within a day, the Alliance would naturally dig into your background and all your records."
