We rarely have any intersection."
Roxia shook her hand and said: "But the General Director ordered yesterday; indeed, we need to give you an account for this incident.
So recently.
I will take responsibility for your safety.
Besides.
Weren’t you trying to advance to Tier Six? Our General Director specially brought the newest advancent equipnt from the lab in Kyoto, with a success rate as high as ninety-nine percent."
Baiyu nodded.
From Tier Seven Martial Artist to Tier Six Martial Artist, the essence of upgrading is challenging limits, compressing Blood Qi, and breaking through that slight barrier.
Of course.
chanical simulation can also achieve this.
Baiyu chose the latter.
Using chanical simulation of life-and-death environnts, then breaking the limits of the human body.
This reliable and efficient thod of advancent can’t be popularized yet, even money can’t buy it.
Originally, Baiyu planned to ask the Third Prince for a way.
But now.
Due to this incident, the Anomaly Bureau voluntarily satisfied his needs.
"Here we are."
Just as Baiyu was contemplating, the elevator gradually stopped.
Two n in suits ca up, leading Roxia and Baiyu, walking towards the depths of the corridor.
This was the top floor of the governntal affairs office.
Here was the office of Duke Villiduo.
Baiyu ca today because of Duke Villiduo’s invitation and his compensation.
Strictly speaking.
Count Bene could be considered a subordinate of Duke Villiduo.
Such incidents occurred, resolving his subordinate’s problems is reasonable.
"These two security guards are Elite Level Martial Artists, this Duke sure has a flair."
Roxia said quietly.
Baiyu’s face darkened, this bastard doesn’t choose pleasant words, can Elite Level Martial Artists not hear your muttering?
Security guard sounds unpleasant.
If you say bodyguard, doesn’t it sound better?
If that’s not enough, the Duke’s personal master, this title surely resonates.
"If you can talk, then talk more."
Baiyu rolled his eyes at her.
Roxia, being scolded like this, imdiately shut her mouth without saying anything more.
Today she accompanied Baiyu here.
Regarding the Earl’s Mansion incident, she indeed acted improperly.
Though she could have intervened from the start, she wanted to see how Baiyu’s skills were.
After all, the whole situation was under her control.
Baiyu wouldn’t experience any accident.
Of course.
Saying this to Baiyu is useless, as he is the most dangerous person.
Hence, Roxia inherently felt guilty, speaking less assertively to Baiyu now.
Led by two bodyguards.
The ivory-white door was pushed open, revealing an office the size of a basketball court to the two.
The office was lined with bookshelves on both sides, row after row.
In the center.
Stood a massive mahogany desk, crescent-shaped, piled high with docunts.
Behind the desk, a lean-faced middle-aged man, wearing thick-rimd glasses, was scrutinizing the manuscript in his hand.
The man appeared average, with thick eye bags and noticeable dark circles.
The most prominent feature.
Was his already bald diterranean hairstyle.
According to Baiyu’s knowledge, Duke Villiduo was only fifty years old this year.
And an Elite Level Martial Artist can live to over two hundred years.
He was indeed an Elite Level Martial Artist.
That ans.
At this age, for ordinary people, it’s the pri of vitality and strength.
Yet...
The way he looks now, it truly seems like this Duke has been juggling a myriad of affairs, worrying about quite a few things.
"You’ve co?"
As Baiyu and Roxia entered the office, the man raised his head, showing a warm smile: "Make yourselves comfortable, my mory is poor now; forgive my lapses."
Both sat on a sofa nearby.
"My na is Long Shanyun, call however you like, I’m quite easy-going."
Putting down the docunt.
Long Shanyun stepped out from behind the desk, his secretary, quick-witted, had already brewed tea for the three.
"Shanyun Duke, I’ve co to discuss the alien attack incident at Moon Shadow City."
Baiyu got straight to the point.
Long Shanyun cheerfully invited them to drink tea, replied leisurely: "This matter, I’ve been discussing with Kyoto just now.
President Bai.
Have you been handling so business related to the Spirit Realm lately?"
Many things transported from the Spirit Realm to Canglan Star can be sold for several tis the price.
And transporting so things from Canglan Star to the Spirit Realm will also yield considerable profits.
This business is envious to most people.
The profit is imnse, enough to entice many Martial Artists.
Count Bene’s wealth stems from managing positions like these, allowing her to restrict rchants to a certain degree.
Upon hearing Long Shanyun, Baiyu nodded without evasion: "Yes, I’m indeed planning to get into this business.
However.
It’s not for .
It’s to find channels for the Qiong Family and the Ning Family."
Long Shanyun nodded, clearly aware that both families were affected by the battle of Zenith City.
Baiyu has close ties with them.
"Here’s what I’ve co up with after consulting so people in Kyoto, plus my assessnt, as compensation.
This ti.
Count Bene was indeed wrong.
But behind her, there’s a big figure who intends to shield her."
Long Shanyun explained.
Roxia kept signaling continuously.
If even Long Shanyun referred to the person as a big figure, then the person behind Count Bene surely wields substantial influence.
Such a person must not be offended.
She dreaded Baiyu’s fearless nature, saying things leading to irreversible consequences.
Moreover, she previously didn’t know Count Bene had such backing, assuming the Count was desperate, seeking help from the Anomaly Bureau.
Now it seems.
This cunning one, evidently used Roxia as a tool.
Of course.
Roxia clearly misunderstood Baiyu.
After Long Shanyun’s words fell, Baiyu asked: "What are your thoughts, Shanyun Duke?"
Count Bene poses no threat to him now, might even avoid him later.
After all.
Having experienced such an incident.
If sothing happened to Baiyu soday, soone might suspect her involvent.
Long Shanyun laughed: "According to what I’ve heard, you have deep connections with the Qiong Family.
And the Qiong Family.
Was once a noble family of the Imperial era.
Qiong Yue was the Qiong Family’s last Count, but after her death, there was no successor eting the requirents for the title.
Back then, she got the Count title of the Qiong Family because of her distinguished military achievents, being an exception.
What I an is.
If you are willing, the title of the Qiong Family can be inherited by you.
Of course.
The outward rule is that you must marry a direct descendant of the Qiong Family.
The benefits of becoming a Count aren’t sothing I need to elaborate on.
This is just the first point.
The second point.
After inheriting the title, Villiduo Shelter just happens to have a vacancy for the General Security Bureau.
You can take up the role.
The Veterans Mutual Aid Association now in Villiduo assists in maintaining security, plus you, as the president, tend to have too much free ti."
Long Shanyun, after finishing, sat on the sofa, quietly waiting for the young man’s response before him.
To be honest.
He’s seen many young talents.
But those who’ve reached this stage are very few.
Not talking about strength and cultivation.
Just the current status and network he possesses, many can scarcely achieve in a lifeti.
Third Prince.
This Prince tirelessly supports him from behind, seemingly betting on him.
Baiyu didn’t respond imdiately.
Not because the conditions given by Long Shanyun were poor, on the contrary, the conditions were too good; he felt sowhat unreal.
The Count title needs no explanation.
The ways to acquire it are through notable military feats or ancestral lineage.
Once a Count, you can form a private army.
The Qiong Family declined so rapidly because after Qiong Yue died, there was no one to inherit the title, leading to a drastic decline in family power.
And the next one.
It’s indeed a position of real power.
The General Security Bureau.
Even in Villiduo Shelter, it’s a highly sought-after position!
Baiyu did not imdiately agree with Long Shanyun; instead, he said, "Without a clear explanation, Shanyun Duke, I’m hesitant to accept this compensation lightly."
