Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 532 - 455 Perfect Ending_4

The battle within the realm of spiritual power was decisive. Failure signified utter submission of the mind, leaving no secrets hidden from the victor.

Of course, Rainbow knew where Boles had hidden the star nebula bomb.

Only then did Marshal Bai finally breathe a long sigh of relief. If the star nebula bomb couldn’t be retrieved and were to explode outside, the entire military would be in total disarray.

Although he was not directly responsible, such an incident would severely damage the reputation of the Confederation’s military.

After completing this critical task, Rainbow returned to Aviloya’s side to keep her company.

Every day, while Aviloya purified herself in the sealed chamber according to the plan devised by Dr. Meng Ji, Rainbow would sit by her side, quietly reading a book and keeping her company.

There’s definitely something going on between those two, Chen Gu cynically speculated.

But despite his soul being ablaze with curiosity, he was too timid to ask.

This time, they had almost entirely uprooted True Knowledge Sin, resolved the issues with Boles and the Mutant swarm, and helped the military retrieve the star nebula bomb. It could truly be described as a ’complete’ victory!

However, Aviloya’s condition cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone at the Bureau of Mystic Security.

One day, after finally handling the aftermath, Marshal Bai Yunpeng arrived. He offered his regards to every member of the special operations team and then urged Chen Gu, "Hurry back. Without you, the only matches worth watching in the Beast League are Zhuge Wojian’s."

Finally, Marshal Bai strolled over to where Aviloya was, but he was not nearly as polite towards the Director-General.

His Excellency the Marshal circled the sealed chamber once, then tapped on the lid with his finger, successfully eliciting a glare from the Valkyrie inside.

"HEH," Bai Yunpeng chuckled. "Looking at your condition, you’ll have to stay in there for quite some time."

"Only three months," replied Aviloya with feigned indifference.

"I’ve decided," said Bai Yunpeng, "to promote Chen Gu to the rank of Brigadier General."

A flash of anger crossed Aviloya’s eyes. "Are you determined to poach from our Bureau of Mystic Security? And at a time like this—just after we’ve helped retrieve the star nebula bomb for you?!"

Marshal Bai stood his ground. "Chen Gu staying at the Bureau of Mystic Security is a complete waste! You can’t fully trust him, nor can you provide him with the utmost support!"

Aviloya opened her mouth to say something but held back. Bai Yunpeng paid her no mind and continued, "However, that’s not the reason this time."

"Chen Gu is the head of Research Institute 745, and his subordinate, Zhao Junzhi, holds the rank of Colonel. Due to Chen Gu’s special status, we’ve been ambiguous about his rank. He is a Colonel, but we haven’t publicized it."

"This time, he retrieved the star nebula bomb and performed a great service. He absolutely must be rewarded. Promotion to Brigadier General is what he deserves."

Then, looking at Aviloya, he added, "And yet, within the Bureau of Mystic Security, there’s been no word even now about rewarding the special operations team that achieved so much, or Chen Gu. Why is that?"

Aviloya, lying in the chamber and looking directly at him, stated deliberately, "Bai Yunpeng, this is the last time I warn you. If you dare interfere with our Bureau’s internal affairs again, I’ll make the entire Bai family pay!"

Bai Yunpeng sneered, "Chen Gu saved your life this time!"

He knocked on the sealed chamber door once more and turned to walk away.

Sensing she was about to erupt, Marshal Bai, worldly-wise from his past escapades, knew perfectly well that the best option was a ’strategic retreat’ to ’temporarily avoid her fury.’

Inside the sealed chamber, Aviloya’s chest heaved with anger as Bai Yunpeng left. Rainbow entered, glanced at Aviloya, then wordlessly opened her book and resumed reading.

After composing herself, Aviloya said to Rainbow, "Go ahead and announce the reward we discussed."

"Okay," replied Rainbow with a gentle smile.
