Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 635 - 489 Utter Failure_2

Chen Gu nodded. "Marshal Bai, I understand. Don't worry, I will not be rash or impulsive."

Bai Yunpeng smiled with relief, and Chen Gu asked again, "That woman, is she also from Du Lifeng's side?"

"No," Bai Yunpeng replied, having also made inquiries. "They are from the Xiaogasa Family. And not just one of them, there are three—a set of triplet sisters. They cooperate with a rare tacit understanding, and their coordinated attacks are terrifying. Moreover, Elemental Ninjas are notoriously unpredictable and diverse in their attacking methods, so we cannot underestimate them."

Chen Gu stroked his chin. This time, the enemies truly seemed formidable.

"Marshal Bai, one last question, what Profession does this Gao Deng belong to?"

"An Alchemist Exorcist. He's said to be extremely adept at making all kinds of bombs." Bai Yunpeng felt he had said enough and waved to the guards. "Let them serve the food."

「…」

The entire afternoon, the atmosphere within the Special Operations Squad was heavy. Gao Deng, a Seventh Energy Level Professional, weighed on each of their minds like a colossal boulder.

Chen Gu returned at three o'clock in the afternoon and immediately sequestered himself in a small office. Everyone knew he was searching for a way to defeat Gao Deng.

Chen Gu, being at the Fifth Energy Level, had the ability to defeat many at the Sixth Energy Level—on this matter, everyone had confidence in him. Even Gong Shuxu wouldn't dare to claim absolute victory against him now.

But asking him to challenge someone at the Seventh Energy Level, to fight across two Energy Levels, was indeed a tough task. The attack at the Angel Theater, involving that Electric Light Operator, served as a precedent.

The time for that "meeting" was set at four o'clock. Every member of the Special Operations Squad, including Shang Qingye, who was still just an auxiliary member, gathered and headed to Hammering Yard Nine.

Before entering the Hammering Yard, Gong Shuxu gently patted Chen Gu's shoulder and whispered words of comfort, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. The sky isn't falling; above us, we still have the Director-General."

Hammering Yard Nine, located within the Director-General's Building, had the highest security clearance. It spanned three entire floors with vast, interconnected internal space.

It employed the most advanced reinforcement techniques and expensive high-energy generators capable of withstanding attacks from any Professional up to the Eighth Energy Level.

Normally, it was not opened lightly. Lower-level operatives had other Hammering Yards at their disposal for training.

Chen Gu and his group arrived a bit early. At precisely four o'clock, Ding Zhou and Aviloya arrived together.

Although both were openly competing for the highest authority within the Bureau of Mystic Security, they maintained the decorum of top-tier experts and entered politely.

Behind Ding Zhou followed the entire Special Operations Squad: seven men and three women, a total of ten people. Behind Aviloya, however, there were only two: Rainbow and Qing Ruyan.

Chen Gu carefully observed the seven men with Ding Zhou and indeed noticed that these people were almost identically built regarding height and build, with just slight differences in their faces.

As expected, they are embryonic bodies created by genetic modification and cloning technology.

Gao Deng was currently the most successful product, while the others were somewhat inferior.

The Hammering Yard could simulate various environments. Today, someone with a perverse sense of humor had simulated the setting of a currently popular combat game:

Ding Zhou and Aviloya took opposite sides, with the Independent Action Squad and the Special Operations Squad each standing behind them, as if they were commanders about to send their warriors into battle one by one.

However, those behind Aviloya all looked somber and serious. In contrast, the seven men behind Ding Zhou had faces as if cast in steel, utterly emotionless, while the three women adopted a relaxed and confident posture, clearly indicating their assurance of victory.

Qing Ruyan stepped forward, consulted Ding Zhou for his opinion, and then began to preside over the "meeting."

"The topic of today's meeting is well known to us all. We have divided the Confederation into twenty-four regions to allocate the responsibilities for each area."

Behind her, a holographic projection appeared, showing the entire star map of the Confederation, with the twenty-four different star domains marked in different colors.

Then she looked toward both parties. "Does anyone have any objections?"

Nobody from Chen Gu's side spoke up, but suddenly Gao Deng stood out. "Why must we divide within the Confederation? Why not simply divide into two major jurisdictions: within the Confederation and outside the Confederation?"

Even Gong Shuxu, who rarely showed his emotions, had a change in expression at this. This was nothing less than a blatant move to push the Special Operations Squad out of the Confederation—it was an outrageous affront!

Chen Jixian's eyelids flickered as he silently gripped his warhammer!

Qing Ruyan glanced at him indifferently. "This was decided upon after discussions between the Director-General and Deputy Director Ding. If you have any objections, you may bring them to Deputy Director Ding."

Ding Zhou was also somewhat displeased internally; after all, Gao Deng wasn't truly one of his own people. He gestured for Gao Deng to stand down. "Obey the orders."

Gao Deng stepped back into formation.

Chen Gu narrowed his eyes, looking at Gao Deng across from him, trying to conceal the dangerous glint in his gaze as much as possible.

Qing Ruyan continued, "Now for the rules. This time, the operatives sent by both sides must be below the Third Energy Level..."

"What?" This was previously unmentioned, and even Chen Gu was taken aback.

Moreover, considering their high-level combat strength, the Independent Action Squad held an absolute advantage. Why would Ding Zhou agree to this rule?
