Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 715 - 509: Time Flies Like a White Colt_4

They were from noble families; the others were military personnel.

Now, in the Independent Action Brigade's office area, there seemed to be an invisible boundary, with each side occupying half. Normally, they hardly conversed and certainly never casually "crossed the border" into the other's "territory."

After cashing in big on Chen Gu's match last time, Xiaoga Yexiong and Sanhime both felt a bit of "guilt" towards each other. Therefore, during Chen Gu's absence, Xiaoga Yexiong, as the lord, was extremely caring towards Sanhime's subordinates, while Sanhime, in turn, was exceptionally attentive to Xiaoga Yexiong.

"That kid is back?" Xiaoga Yexiong received a report from Red Princess today, an ambitious expression on his face. "Heh heh, this matter has dragged on for so long, and it's finally about to conclude!"

Sanhime, dressed in a Bureau of Mystic Security uniform, knelt before her young lord, her posture indescribably alluring. "My lord," she said, "what do you plan to do? Should there be any orders, we three sisters will brave any danger without hesitation!"

Xiaoga Yexiong stated confidently, "I have already made arrangements."

A few days prior, Xiaoga Yexiong had discovered a case—in fact, an incident involving the Xiaogasa Family on one of the lower colonies, which had disrupted their business. This case should have been reported to the Bureau of Mystic Security immediately, but Xiaoga Yexiong used his status to suppress it, waiting only for Chen Gu to return. The case fell within the Special Operations Brigade's jurisdiction. However, since it concerned the Xiaogasa Family, Xiaoga Yexiong planned to use it as an excuse for a showdown with Chen Gu, the winner to handle the case. Look at that, so similar to before—a perfect opportunity to regain my honor!

However, when Xiaoga Yexiong arrived at work the next day, he asked, "Has Chen Gu arrived?"

"Not yet," Red Princess reported.

"Such a lazy fellow!" Xiaoga Yexiong criticized. "Work starts in ten minutes, and he's still not here."

By ten o'clock in the morning, he asked again, "Go see if Chen Gu has arrived."

White Princess slipped away in an instant using her "White Steed Flashes By" technique, a secret art of the Xiaogasa Family. No matter how flashy, she would return quickly. "He's not here," she reported.

"The discipline at the Bureau of Mystic Security is truly too lax!" Xiaoga Yexiong criticized sternly. "It's already ten o'clock, and a deputy brigade commander hasn't even shown up for duty!"

"My lord, let's report him!" Red Princess urged eagerly.

Xiaoga Yexiong, with a strained expression, said, "Forget it. Troubling him over such trifles would make us seem petty. Let's wait a bit longer. We need to strike decisively!"

"Yes, my lord is wise!" Red Princess affirmed.

By eleven-thirty, as the lunch break approached, Xiaoga Yexiong asked once more. White Princess was just about to use "White Steed Flashes By," but Xiaoga Yexiong stopped her. "Red Princess, you go."

After a while, Red Princess returned, listless. "My lord," she said, "that fellow took the day off today. He's not coming in at all."

Xiaoga Yexiong was speechless. I've been psyching myself up all morning, and now you're not showing up? Who am I supposed to unleash my ultimate move on? 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Hmph!" After a moment, Xiaoga Yexiong snorted coldly. "He can dodge the first, but not the fifteenth! Tomorrow, we shall have our showdown!"

"Yes!" Red Princess and White Princess affirmed.

And then, the next day, after White Princess used "White Steed Flashes By" twice and still failed to find Chen Gu, Red Princess went out again. "My lord," she reported, "that scoundrel has taken another day off..."

"Insolent cur!" Xiaoga Yexiong, so pent-up he could barely stand it, burst out in rage. "A little achievement, and he thinks he's above the heavens and earth? He doesn't even bother coming to work? If this were our family, anyone who became so arrogant from their achievements would have been kicked out long ago!"

「The third day.」

Red Princess returned, her face gloomy. "My lord," she said, "I've investigated thoroughly. That scoundrel asked for seven days off in one go... The little vixen from the Special Operations Brigade told me he's planning to enter seclusion to attempt a breakthrough to the Sixth Energy Level. You should have seen the look on that woman's face when she told me. I was so irritated I almost slapped her..."

In the neighboring Special Operations Brigade office, the "little vixen" at her desk shivered. Eek, so scary! I told you those three women are fierce. With the captain gone, I nearly got hit. BOO HOO HOO.

Xiaoga Yexiong felt a knot tighten in his chest; it was hard and unyielding. He had to pound his chest twice to force the feeling down.

White Princess asked inopportunely, "Attempting a breakthrough to the Sixth Energy Level? If he succeeds, can my lord still suppress him with certainty?"

The other three present glared venomously at her. White Princess shrank her neck. "I'll go prepare tea for my lord."

WHOOSH.

It was "White Steed Flashes By."

"You may all leave," Xiaoga Yexiong said wearily. He felt that ever since meeting Chen Gu, nothing had gone right, leaving him rather dispirited.

Once Sanhime and her sisters had all left, Xiaoga Yexiong sneered. "The Sixth Energy Level, heh. Foolish boy. If you had consolidated your cultivation for three years, I might indeed have worried about your successful promotion. But how long has it been since you advanced to the Fifth Energy Level? Overambitious!"

You truly have no idea how difficult it is for high-Energy Level practitioners to advance.
