The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 246: Personal Assistant (2)_1

Old Deng saw the look Situ Xin gave to Xiang Yang and the others, and coughed lightly, "I think we better get down to business and take care of what needs to be done."

"Alright, follow me upstairs then," Old Master Situ said upon hearing Old Deng’s remark, making the decision without waiting for Situ Xin to speak.

Old Deng also felt that the living room wasn’t the right place to discuss such matters and nodded in agreement, "Okay, you decide."

As the group began to head upstairs, Situ Xin glanced at Situ Muli, who remained motionless on the sofa downstairs, and paused. Seeing Situ Xin stop, everyone else halted as well.

"Muli, what are you still sitting there for? Hurry up and follow," Situ Xin called out to Situ Muli.

"Ah? Oh." Situ Muli recognized Old Deng and knew that if he had come, there must be important matters to discuss, so he had wisely chosen not to follow.

Following Situ Xin’s gaze toward Situ Muli, Old Deng turned his head, confused, and asked Old Master Situ, "Who is this child in your family?"

"Oh, Muli, he’s with Baby’s master, currently accompanying Baby," Old Master Situ couldn’t dare hide anything from Old Deng.

Hearing that he was someone who worked closely with Situ Xin’s master, Old Deng didn’t say anything further, tacitly allowing Situ Muli to join the group going upstairs.

"Now that everyone who should be here has arrived, today, right here, I officially announce to all of you that the new Leader of The Dark Division is Situ Xin," Old Deng said as everyone entered the study, taking out the Dark Division Leader’s badge and solemnly handing it to Situ Xin.

Then he said to Situ Xin, "Xiao Xin, I now formally entrust The Dark Division into your hands. This Division is the life’s work of your Grandpa Deng. I ask you to manage The Dark Division well and remember, it exists to protect the peace of Country H. I do not wish to see it one day betray such a loyal principle."

"Grandpa Deng, rest assured, I will not forget the loyalty principle with which you established The Dark Division. Moreover, I will continue to strengthen it and will not disappoint your expectations of me," Situ Xin said, clutching the Dark Division Leader’s badge handed by Old Deng, her voice filled with emotion.

As Situ Xin held the Dark Division Leader’s badge in her hand, her feelings were a jumble. In her previous life, she was just a member of The Dark Division, having to obey orders and execute various tasks. When she wanted to leave, she was even killed by her own teammates. Yet in this life, she had become the supreme Leader of The Dark Division, ruling over the entire organization. It was as if she had moved from one extreme to the other.

"Good, good, girl, remember what you told me, Grandpa Deng. I wait for the day when you expand The Dark Division," Old Deng said, repeating ’good’ twice, seeing in Situ Xin the day when The Dark Division would shine.

After Old Deng’s emotional moment, he regained his composure. "Girl, because you are still young, I haven’t publicized your ascension as the Leader of The Dark Division too broadly. But the current highest leader of the country, I have informed him. You also know, if too many people know, it’s not a good thing for you," Old Deng commented, recalling the current highest leader’s voice of surprise over the phone and his slight displeasure at the new Leader of The Dark Division being so young.

In fact, Old Deng was well aware of the current highest leader’s thoughts. During the time Old Deng fell ill, every visit from the highest leader involved hidden references to matters concerning The Dark Division.

Old Deng had long seen through these ulterior motives. If the candidate proposed by the highest leader had truly been competent, Old Deng would have readily agreed to hand over The Dark Division. But not only was the current highest leader someone Old Deng disapproved of, but so too was his son, the candidate he proposed. How could Old Deng just hand over The Dark Division to them?

While it’s true that The Dark Division worked for Country H, the organization was not under the jurisdiction of Country H’s leaders. In other words, The Dark Division answered only to the one who held its Leader’s badge. For this unique entity, how could the country’s highest leader not want to control it? Previously, since Old Deng had not let go, the highest leader had said little.

But when Old Deng telephoned to inform him that the new Leader of The Dark Division was from the Situ Family, a mere nine-year-old girl, the leader initially felt like Old Deng was joking with him. How could such an organization fall into the hands of a young girl? Then, when he realized that Old Deng was serious,

he was momentarily stunned. Coming to his senses, he couldn’t bring himself to voice any opposition. He had no say in the affairs of The Dark Division. Even if he objected, it would be in vain.

So, in the end, he didn’t utter a word against it until after the phone call ended, at which point he swept everything off his desk onto the floor. He then sat silently in his chair, his expression shifting unpredictably, deep in thought.

Luckily, with few people aware of Situ Xin taking over The Dark Division, one could only imagine how many family studies would have suffered otherwise.

As for whether people knew about her takeover of The Dark Division and becoming its Leader, Situ Xin didn’t care at all. Additionally, considering her easygoing nature, she thought it would be best if everyone remained unaware that she was the Leader of The Dark Division.

In addition to handing over the symbolic Leader’s badge of The Dark Division to Situ Xin, Old Deng also passed on some of The Dark Division’s documents he had kept. When Situ Xin received the documents, she naturally handed them over to Situ Muli.

After the former and the current Leaders’ transfer ceremony concluded, Old Deng seemed to have shed his responsibilities, relaxing as he said to Situ Xin, "Girl, I have taught you everything now. From now on, I can enjoy my retirement just like your grandfather and Old Master Loo." Then, turning his head, he said to Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, "Let’s go, let’s enjoy a few good rounds downstairs."
