187: The Dragon Kingdom's greatest source of confidence in the face of all storms!
Special Commissioner Chen!
That name had long since become a legend, a myth within the Spiritual Energy General Bureau!
Single-handedly annihilating the Eternal Life Cult, suppressing and killing the Abyssal Sea Dark Dragon with one hand, and even frontally defeating the descent of an Evil God!
Every time he acted, it was accompanied by earth-shattering achievements and incomprehensibly powerful strength.
Lei Lie had always thought those rumors might have been somewhat exaggerated.
After all, hearing something is not as good as seeing it.
But at this moment, seeing the ruins of the monster nest that had been forcibly flattened with his own eyes, and feeling the residual pressure in the air that made his Soul tremble... he realized the rumors had not only failed to exaggerate but might have even underestimated him!
They had rushed here at the first possible moment after receiving the call for help, using their fastest speed!
The result?
How long had it been since they set out?
Probably not even half an hour!
Special Commissioner Chen had actually resolved the matter completely already?
And it was done in this... near-godlike crushing manner?!
This speed, this efficiency, this power... should one say he truly lives up to his reputation as the legendary Special Commissioner Chen?!
After the initial shock, an indescribable sense of pity and regret instantly welled up in the hearts of Lei Lie and all the members of the "Dragon Fang" squad.
"We arrived... one step too late..." Lei Lie muttered to himself, his tone filled with loss.
"What a pity! Truly a pity!" a young squad member said, thumping his chest. "If only we had been a bit faster, maybe we could have seen Special Commissioner Chen in action with our own eyes!"
"Exactly! Even if it was just a glimpse from afar!" another person said, their face full of longing and regret. "That's Special Commissioner Chen! If we could have met him and received a few words of guidance, how wonderful would that have been!"
"I heard Special Commissioner Chen is very young, but his Aura is heavier than a mountain and his gaze can pierce the Soul... I really wanted to see him for myself!"
The squad members discussed among themselves, their voices filled with the frustration of missing a great Opportunity and infinite admiration for that legendary figure.
Lei Lie felt the same way.
As the captain of the "Dragon Fang" squad, he possessed formidable strength and a prestigious status, but at this moment, he only felt immense regret.
Failing to witness the elegance of that legendary figure or fight alongside him—even just watching from the side—was definitely one of the greatest regrets of his life!
Zhao Tiefeng watched the undisguised admiration and regret on the faces of these General Bureau elites, and his heart was also filled with emotion.
He could understand this feeling.
After all, he had personally witnessed that miracle-like scene; that kind of shock was enough to be remembered for a lifetime.
"Captain Lei, everyone," Zhao Tiefeng spoke up, "Although Special Commissioner Chen has already left, he instructed us to handle the aftermath before he departed."
"There might be some residual teleportation coordinates or tokens from the Demonic Evils here that we need to search for carefully."
Hearing this, Lei Lie snapped back to his senses, forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart, and nodded heavily.
"I understand!"
"Captain Zhao, thank you for holding your post!"
"All members of the 'Dragon Fang' squad, listen to my command!"
He turned around abruptly, his voice loud and firm.
"Immediately assist our brothers from the Jiangyuan Branch Bureau in executing a highest-specification battlefield cleanup and investigation mission!"
"Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we must complete the tasks Special Commissioner Chen assigned!"
"We must not fail Special Commissioner Chen's trust!"
"Yes!" all the "Dragon Fang" members roared in unison, their morale instantly soaring to its peak.
Although they hadn't met Special Commissioner Chen in person, being able to carry out the cleanup orders he personally issued made them feel equally honored!
...In the capital, at the Spiritual Energy General Bureau Command Center.
When Long Zhenyue, the Deputy Director of the Spiritual Energy General Bureau, received the confirmed detailed report sent back by Lei Lie from the scene, he froze in front of the command console.
The content of the report was simple, yet it exploded in his mind like a series of thunderclaps.
The monster nest has been destroyed, the Demonic Evils have been wiped out, and the threat has been neutralized.
The one who completed all this was Special Commissioner Chen Nian, who happened to be patrolling nearby.
Traces at the scene indicate the battle ended extremely quickly, with the suspected use of a terrifying power capable of large-scale annihilation.
"..."
A brief, dead silence fell over the command center.
All the staff stopped what they were doing, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
Long Zhenyue slowly put down the communicator and let out a long, long breath of turbid air.
That tension that had been bottled up in his chest finally eased completely.
But following it was a deeper shock and a complex set of emotions.
"It's... him again..." Long Zhenyue muttered to himself, his tone full of emotion.
"The General Bureau had just finished its deployment, and the urgently mobilized forces were still on their way... yet he alone has already finished everything..."
"This kind of efficiency... this kind of power..."
He shook his head, a helpless, bitter smile appearing on his face.
It was like this every time.
Whenever they thought they had encountered a massive problem that required a heavy concentration of troops and were even prepared to pay a huge price...
Chen Nian would always appear like an invisible guardian deity, resolving the crisis quietly at a speed and in a manner they couldn't understand.
Powerful, mysterious, and suffocatingly efficient.
"Deputy Director, this..." the staff officer beside him was also shocked, not knowing what to say.
Long Zhenyue waved his hand, indicating there was no need for words.
His gaze turned back to the holographic sand table; in the area representing the Black Mountain Forest Area, the crimson light points had completely vanished, returning to their normal color.
"Forget it, forget it."
Long Zhenyue smiled, a smile filled with relief and a touch of gratitude.
"Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, the result is good."
"To have Special Commissioner Chen is truly the great fortune of our Dragon Country."
His eyes became profound.
"Send out the word: the crisis is resolved. All units are to transition to alert and cleanup status according to the contingency plan."
"Classify the detailed report of this incident as top-secret for archiving."
"At the same time, in the name of the General Bureau, send a letter of thanks to the East Sea Branch Bureau, thanking Special Commissioner Chen for turning the tide once again."
"The tone must be sincere, and the posture must be humble, understood?"
"Yes! Deputy Director!" the staff officer immediately took the order.
Long Zhenyue nodded, took one last look at the sand table, and turned to leave the command console.
Although they were once again shocked by Chen Nian's efficiency, they had long since grown accustomed to it.
After all, the existence of Special Commissioner Chen himself was meant to constantly break common sense and create miracles.
They felt fortunate—fortunate that the Dragon Country had such a stabilizing force.
At the same time, they became even more firm in one conviction—no matter what, they must maintain a good relationship with Special Commissioner Chen and satisfy his needs to the greatest extent possible.
Because his existence was the Dragon Country's greatest assurance when facing any storm!
