The Special Bureau

Inside the palace conference room.

Wei Zong held a document in his hand, his tone grave. “Currently, there are over five thousand recorded monster incidents within the borders of the Nanming Kingdom, and the number of casualties has reached as high as two hundred thousand. Establishing our own official supernatural department is of the utmost urgency!”

“The Security Bureau has already teamed up with the Inspector Bureau to investigate those who have awakened their abilities across the country. Along with the supernatural individuals we've already recruited, we are now just waiting to officially establish the department,” Zhu Weiliang said, looking at the others.

They did not yet know what was happening outside, because only they and Li Xueming's group remained alive inside the palace.

The bald elder said with a displeased expression, “Hurry up and decide on a name for the department. There's been a lot of movement over in Xichang City. Sometimes, the moment our people leave after trying to recruit a target, the other side arrives right after them. They are truly going too far!”

For a grand global power to be suppressed like this by just a few individuals was truly humiliating.

Just as the other councilmen were about to speak—

The door opened.

The five frowned and turned to see which blind fool was interrupting their meeting.

A woman in a white tracksuit stood at the doorway. She spoke, “The department will be called the Special Bureau. I will be in full charge of it from now on. You won't have a problem with that, will you?”

The bald elder slammed his hand on the table and roared, “Who do you think you are? Guards! Where the hell are the guards?! How did you let an outsider into the meeting room!”

“Little girl, you talk big, but do you think a national department is something an outsider like you can control?” Elder Wei said, his eyes narrowing.

He sensed something was wrong. Why was there no sound from the guards and supernatural humans outside?

Seeing a woman show up so brazenly, Zhu Weiliang had a bad feeling that something terrible was about to happen.

He quickly stood up, squeezing out a smile. “Excuse me, you are...”

Before he could finish, the sound of bodies collapsing echoed from behind him.

Zhu Weiliang hurriedly turned around and saw Wei Zong and the other three slumped over the table, completely motionless.

“There are too many people. It's a bit noisy. From now on, you'll be the sole voice in this country,” Death said in a breezy tone.

These words sounded like a heavy blow to Zhu Weiliang's ears, nearly making his head spin.

Just like that, he had somehow gained control of the Nanming Kingdom?

Death walked over to Wei Zong's corpse, casually pushed it aside, and sat down. “Did you hear what I said earlier?”

“I heard you! I heard you! I will definitely do my best to complete your tasks!” Zhu Weiliang replied, barely able to contain his pleasant surprise.

Then, he asked cautiously, “My lady, what if someone tries to block my rise to power? Especially those guys in the military. If things go wrong, there might even be a risk of civil war.”

Death looked at him expressionlessly and said, “Anyone who dares to get in the way, I will send them to their death. What you need to do now is run the country and serve the Special Bureau.”

To eradicate the unstable factors blocking its happiness, relying on itself alone was not enough. The world was too big, and it needed people to work toward its goal.

“Understood!” This time, Zhu Weiliang could no longer hide the grin on his face.

Looking at the beaming Zhu Weiliang, Death—or perhaps she should be called He Wenxi now—had eyes as calm as still water.

The Special Bureau and the Nanming Kingdom were both means for her to achieve happiness. She would use any means necessary to make herself feel happy.

Just then, the sound of footsteps approached.

Li Xueming arrived at the doorway with the other supernatural humans.

The moment they walked in, they saw the four dead councilmen and Zhu Weiliang, who was grinning like a fool.

At the sight, their expressions filled with disbelief.

“These high-and-mighty figures... died just like that?” Wen Yu's eyes widened.

They all looked at He Wenxi. Li Xueming was glad he had rushed over, and he quickly said, “We came to help you, but I didn't expect you to deal with these guys so quickly.”

“Indeed! We should be following someone like you!” a youth chimed in.

He Wenxi looked at the group eager to show their loyalty and let out a faint smile. “No need to be nervous. Welcome to the Special Bureau. From now on, I am your Chief.”
