That was a high-ranking Awakener.
To enhance one's Awakening Ability, there are no shortcuts; one must diligently train the body, improve physical fitness and Martial Arts Cultivation, in order to accommodate more of the World's Laws.
Fang Ze was just a beginner Awakener now. How could he become a high-ranking Awakener in just a few days?
Of course, although there were various complaints and disbelief in their hearts,
the crowd didn't show it. Instead, they observed quietly and watched how things would unfold.
Upon hearing his words, the middle-aged woman also thought that Fang Ze was being fanciful.
Wanting to raise his ability to a high level without a year or two of hard work was completely impossible.
Even if one were a martial arts genius, and even with particularly weak abilities, it would still take several months.
Judging from the report submitted by Bai Zhi, Fang Ze's abilities were definitely not weak.
Moreover, his abilities were of the Martial Combat System, which did not accelerate the speed of martial arts training.
Therefore, for Fang Ze to make a breakthrough to a high rank within a few days or even a week was completely impossible.
Thinking this, the middle-aged woman nodded without hesitation, "Of course that's possible."
She explained, "As I said. This is the bureau's way of protecting you."
"So, if you can successfully advance to the required strength in a few days or a week,"
"And also pass the Reserve Commissioner's regulatory exam,"
"Then the bureau will only feel relieved."
Hearing her conclude, Fang Ze couldn't help but look towards the young man from the Governing Hall.
The young man smiled and nodded, "We and the Investigation Bureau just want an explanation. We certainly have no objections to the decisions made by the Security Bureau."
Hearing the two of them speak, Fang Ze immediately smiled and said, "Then I have no problems."
"I think this punishment—oh, no, protection, is quite good."
Having said that, Fang Ze sat back down in his chair.
Seeing Fang Ze so confident, and hearing him speak , the crowd was actually a bit surprised.
Did the man in front of them really have something to rely on, or did he not know how difficult this matter was?
They always felt that the person in front of them was somewhat enigmatic.
The feeling... was like facing Gu Qing in the past.
Thinking this, several people couldn't help but look towards Gu Qing.
At some point, Gu Qing had reverted to his lazy demeanor, lounging in his chair, his eyes half-closed, as if in a trance.
Since Fang Ze, the person involved, did not oppose the punishment, then others also had no reason to object.
Thus, before long, this brief meeting ended in this strange atmosphere.
The "victorious side" clearly won, but perhaps because the victory was too easy, and the losing side behaved oddly, there was no joy in the victory.
And the "losing side," clearly having lost, appeared calm and unconcerned on their faces.
As for the onlookers, because they could not guess the future development of the situation, they also were not happy.
Upon leaving the conference room, Bai Zhi did not greet anyone else, but directly pulled Fang Ze towards her office.
Once they arrived at the office, Bai Ling was there "slurping" her noodles.
She looked up, saw the two of them, paused for a moment, then her eyes curved into crescent moons and she smiled adorably, "Bai, Fang Ze, you're back? I brought you lunch."
As she spoke, she pointed to a bowl of noodles and a cucumber on the table.
Fang Ze naturally picked up the cucumber, then... handed it to Bai Zhi.
After that, he shook his head at Bai Ling, saying, "Chief Bai Ling, women should not always eat cucumber. It's likely to weaken them."
He emphasized the word "eat."
This was met with puzzlement from both Bai Ling and Bai Zhi.
Shortly, Bai Ling snatched the noodles from Fang Ze's hand, then grabbed Bai Zhi's cucumber, looking fiercely adorable as she handed it to Fang Ze,
"The noodles are for my Bai!"
"The cucumber is for you! Hmph!"
"That's for bullying me!"
Fang Ze nonchalantly took a bite of the cucumber, "No worries, you brought me breakfast in the morning; I'm not hungry."
Mysteriously, Bai Ling grew angrier.
At that time, seeing the two bickering, Bai Zhi couldn't hold back any longer.
She said, "Alright! No more fighting!"
"Come! Let's talk business!"
With that, she put down her noodles and gestured for them to come over.
Bai Ling hadn't seen Bai Zhi so serious in a long time. She couldn't help but stop messing around.
So, pouting, she obediently sat next to Fang Ze on the sofa, then curiously asked what had happened.
It was a good moment for Bai Zhi to express herself, so she explained everything that had occurred in the meeting room in great detail.
After concluding, she looked at Bai Ling, then asked angrily,
"Fang Ze is the only capable talent I have! They deliberately locked him up!"
"Do you think they are targeting me?"
"Shouldn't we rightly resist?"
"Was it not good for Fang Ze to agree to this?"
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, Bai Ling thought for a moment, then said, "Bai, I think they are indeed targeting you."
"They clearly want Gu Qing to win, not you."
Seeing Bai Ling agree with her, Bai Zhi's spirits soared!
Then she listened as Bai Ling changed her tone, "But... I think what Fang Ze did was also fine."
"Now that everyone is siding with them, it's useless for you to argue. You'll only be ridiculed."
