Chapter 258: Strategy Discussion
The next day, inside the official headquarters building in the Capital City.
Director Long's office is usually entered only by helpers who report and organize information, except when the Zodiac Rabbit occasionally comes to invite him for a meal.
However, today the office was unexpectedly lively—
"Hiss... You actually brought your sister to work? What a disgrace! Long, can you tolerate this? You should dock his pay!"
"Suspicious intentions! Here I am, old Pig, at my age, and I still don't have a girlfriend! You're really despicable!"
"This girl's future is quite interesting..."
"I'm here to seek your opinions, not to chit-chat at a party. Of the two choices I mentioned earlier, which do you agree with more?"
"..."
The source of all this commotion was, of course, Luo Fei, sitting on the sofa uneasily.
She timidly retracted her head, observing that everyone appearing in this office seemed to have a prestigious status.
She usually didn't even dare to dream of coming into contact with these people.
Earlier, when she and Mr. Hou came to the office by elevator after entering the building.
No matter who saw Mr. Hou, they froze subconsciously, which made Luo Fei certain that Mr. Hou's status was extremely high.
But the little girl sticking a lollipop into her mouth and the handsome uncle seemed to joke with Mr. Hou freely, suggesting a deep relationship among the three.
Birds of a feather flock together, so their statuses must also be significant!
And that big-waved pretty sister who was continuously typing yet never spoke, gave Luo Fei a bizarre look that made her feel she had no privacy as if standing naked before her.
The scariest was the leader sitting behind the desk, silently wearing a red blindfold.
His aura nearly made Luo Fei kneel on the spot the moment she entered the room.
From their conversation tone, the red-blindfolded one seemed to be the acting leader of the current official authority!
Oh my goodness! How did I end up in such a place following Mr. Hou muddle-headedly!
"So, you intend to keep her protected within the building? Isn't that a bit hasty?" Director Long spoke casually.
"Regardless of her identity within the official ranks, if she doesn't carry out any tasks, suspicion will arise soon. But her abilities aren't suitable for carrying out tasks with others; doing so might expose her even faster. Keeping her here is hasty."
What he referred to now was naturally Wu Liang's first suggestion—to protect her.
Due to the unique nature of Luo Fei's Awakened Ability, since the Promised Land was only purchasing her through Wu Yeli's channel and not trying all means to seize her.
It proves that the Promised Land hasn't fully grasped Luo Fei's situation yet.
So once her information gets exposed, perhaps it will provoke an unfettered and reckless attack from the Promised Land on the officials.
In terms of sheer strength, Director Long isn't at all worried about the Promised Land's ability to contend with the official forces.
But what worries him is the citizens of the Capital City!
After all, the official headquarters is located centrally in the city; by the time fierce battles occur, even if victorious, the affected area is likely vast.
"No problem, I'm just providing you with this reference, actually, I want to temporarily send her to Peach Blossom Spring." Wu Liang shrugged indifferently.
The only place Wu Liang currently thinks won't be affected by the Promised Land's attacks is Peach Blossom Spring, where his mom Yao Qingxue is.
Under the dual formidable deterrence of Commoner Yao Qingxue and Sealed Yao Qingxue, he believes the Pioneer won't dare to approach Heavenly Mountain.
Saying it's absolutely safe at present wouldn't be an exaggeration.
"But what about the girl's own thoughts? That's quite important." Sister She quickly typed a string of text on the tablet.
Wu Liang merely glanced and understood what kind of riddle she wanted to play.
The Zodiac Snake has the ability to foresee, and her statement clearly reminded him—Luo Fei's thoughts will have a significant impact on her future.
This change is even much greater than forcibly sending her to Peach Blossom Spring for protection.
At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on the young girl sitting on the sofa, nervously clenching the hem of her coat.
"I...I trust Mr. Hou's decision! If there's anything I need to cooperate with...I'll do my best! I won't disappoint you!"
Despite trembling slightly, she mustered her courage and expressed her thoughts.
Seeing Luo Fei's appearance, a peculiar spark flashed through the eyes exposed under Zodiac Snake's trench coat.
A moment later, she placed her hands on the tablet and quickly typed: "Then there's no need for us to interfere, do as you think best, manage it well."
Seeing even his older sister had spoken, Director Long naturally had nothing more to say.
Even though he knows Luo Fei's existence is not only significant to the Promised Land, they might gain something surpassing an ordinary City-Destroying Level or even reaching a Nation-Destroying Level Fierce Ghost through her!
In reality, her abilities are crucial for the officials too!
Once the institute figures out how to amplify certain powers directly from her, powerful Awakened ones might no longer be a minority, and possibly by expanding this field, they might distinguish the essential differences between Fierce Ghost Abilities and Awakened Abilities.
Thus, the lifespan of the Symbionts or even the artificial creation of Symbionts wouldn't just be theoretical!
But Sister She's suggestion is evidently of much greater importance than these aspects!
The entire official operation's grand direction is adjusted based on Zodiac Snake's future foreseeing, with him and the elder merely responsible for specific action decisions and maintaining overall control.
"I know you rascal have other plans in your mind, go ahead and act, considering from tomorrow on you'll be the commander-in-chief handling civilian organizations' operations."
Hearing Director Long say so, Wu Liang couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile.
As the other stated, sending Luo Fei to Peach Blossom Spring is only the beginning.
Regarding dealing with the Promised Land organization, he already had countless ideas to implement.
The purpose of today's visit to the official headquarters, aside from explaining Luo Fei's significance to several people, also involved Director Long announcing his appointment as the commander-in-chief during the afternoon meeting.
But now he has a new idea.
"Alright, alright, I assure you won't be disappointed."
Wu Liang suddenly revealed a mischievous smile while speaking, looking at Director Long with ill intentions: "But don't be eager to announce my commander-in-chief identity, I still need to trouble you, the acting boss, for a favor..."
