Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 637 - 489 Utter Failure_4
"If he fails, then he will never receive any more support. If he succeeds, I will defeat him at the Ninth Power Level—either way, I can get rid of this nuisance forever."
As for Aviloya directly going to "beat up" Ding Zhou, who was at the Eighth Energy Level, at this moment—well, the esteemed Valkyrie wouldn't stoop to such a thing.
Rainbow looked at her with sparkling eyes and smiled too. "So you used what you originally planned to give him in exchange for him agreeing to a condition favorable to the Special Operations Team? Nice move."
Aviloya finally showed a hint of regret. "It's a pity, though, that those youngsters failed to seize the opportunity and were utterly defeated…"
Rainbow said, "You can't blame them. The guys under Gao Deng, they're simply not human."
Aviloya replied, "Indeed, you can't blame them. I also made a wrong judgment, thinking that under such a restriction, they would have a chance."
She shook her head, as if in a trance. "Actually, I was fooled by that little thief Chen Gu; he gave me the illusion that my Special Operations Team was extremely strong. In fact, among the younger generation, except for him and Wu Yihuo, no one else can be considered a genius."
"He deceived me with one success after another—it was actually him alone who supported this Special Operations Team."
Rainbow looked at her, surprised. "You're actually speaking highly of him; this is the first time."
Aviloya glared at her playfully. "I'm not praising him; I'm just telling the truth. No matter how much I dislike him, I still recognize his strength."
Rainbow casually said, "Have you ever thought, if you hadn't intervened like this and let him face Gao Deng in a duel, today's outcome might have been different?"
Aviloya was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head with a wry smile. "Impossible."
「...」
The next day, the jurisdiction areas of the Special Operations Team and the Independent Operations Team were announced. The Bureau of Mystic Security's headquarters was once again abuzz: the Capital Star region and most of the bustling star areas had all been allocated to the Independent Operations Team. This made it clear to everyone that the Special Operations Team had not just lost, but had suffered a humiliating defeat.
However, further information came out: Chen Gu and Gao Deng had not participated in the fight, which made many even more eager to see a fair and square showdown between the two!
Within the Bureau, the Special Operations Team had quite a few supporters. Even though they knew Chen Gu's chances of winning were very low, they were unwilling to face the Special Operations Team's disastrous defeat and pinned their hopes on Chen Gu. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Nevertheless, Ding Zhou still greatly increased his prestige within the Bureau of Mystic Security with this victory, and the number of people who favored him to replace Aviloya had grown substantially.
However, most of these people were fence-sitters who believed in "might makes right," and their approval didn't exactly equate to loyalty.
「Three days after this "meeting" had ended, a case was submitted to the headquarters.」
Qing Ruyan was the first to notice this case. Frowning, she retrieved the file and presented it to Aviloya. "Director-General, this case occurred on the border of two star areas. One side falls under the jurisdiction of the Special Operations Team, and the other under the Independent Operations Team. Who should handle it?"
Aviloya said indifferently, "Chen Gu and his team lost last time and must be eager to redeem themselves these past few days. If I let them clash with the Independent Operations Team again, they certainly wouldn't back down. Chen Gu's team would be at a disadvantage. Just send it directly to the Independent Operations Team."
Qing Ruyan actually had the same thought, which was why she had preemptively pulled the case file. She promptly said, "Alright, I'll send it over to them."
「...」
"HUH?" Joseph exclaimed in surprise while browsing the internal system. "I just saw a case that was under our jurisdiction. How did it disappear all of a sudden?"
"You're seeing things," Boluo said listlessly. Indeed, everyone had been feeling quite frustrated these past few days.
"Impossible, I'm a professional!" Joseph protested.
Chen Gu suddenly had an idea. He called Qing Ruyan and got straight to the point, asking, "Where's our case?"
Qing Ruyan thought she must have been too slow and he had already seen it. "That's a border area," she explained. "I sent it to the Independent Operations Team."
Chen Gu hung up the phone, stood up, and announced, "I'm going next door to get our case back. Who's coming with me?"
Chen Gu had been waiting for this opportunity for days!
