He waved, watching Lu Chao and his group leave.

"Brother, they didn’t even take you seriously. Why bother trying to be friendly when they’re just giving you the cold shoulder?"

The girl with short, curly hair behind him complained, not having said a single word to Lu Chao’s group the entire time.

Xu Fengling heard this and gave a helpless smile, rapping her on the head. "You silly girl, when did you become so petty?"

"Besides, this Brother Lu’s skills are extraordinary. It’s always good to make another friend."

Xu Ling’Er pouted at his words.

’He looks like he just broke through to the Elite Level. Aren’t all the geniuses our family is sponsoring stronger than him?’

She subconsciously wanted to retort.

"Young Master, it’s the Superpower Bureau."

One of his trusted security guards spoke softly, his tone a gentle reminder.

Xu Fengling was slightly taken aback, then followed his gaze.

A black SUV was parked on the roadside outside the port, its circular hexagram emblem particularly eye-catching.

"The Superpower Bureau?"

He was a little surprised as he watched Lu Chao walk all the way over and get into the vehicle.

"No wonder. I had a feeling there was more to him."

His brow smoothed, as if a certain doubt had been cleared away.

To the side, Xu Ling’Er raised an eyebrow, but her expression quickly returned to one of indifference.

’So what if he’s from the Superpower Bureau?’

’They’re not exactly welcome in this territory.’

...

「That afternoon.」

With a dedicated escort, Lu Chao and his group arrived at the headquarters of the Superpower Bureau’s Fourth Sub-Bureau in Satellite City No. 4.

Inside a glass building with floor-to-ceiling windows, he followed his prior instructions and went to report for duty with Chen Xiao and Fang Xu.

The structure of the Superpower Bureau was somewhat different from the Patrol Department. Every five Superpower Squads formed a Superpower Team. Then, depending on the size of the city circle, three to five Superpower Teams would form a Superpower Sub-Bureau, responsible for all Alliance affairs within that urban area.

According to his transfer orders, his direct superior was the leader of the Third Superpower Team, a man named Li Xiyuan—a true Superpower Level expert.

However, a full hour passed.

The Superpower Team leader’s office remained empty. The man was nowhere to be seen, and the surrounding hallways were exceptionally quiet, with no one coming or going.

"Captain, could something have gone wrong?"

Chen Xiao and Fang Xu, standing behind him, felt that something was off.

Lu Chao frowned slightly and glanced at his watch again.

There was nothing wrong with his transfer orders or his appointment.

But...

...

"Breaking through to the Elite Level at twenty... his cultivation speed is decent."

"But..."

「In a training chamber at the Superpower Sub-Bureau.」

Li Xiyuan, a heavyset man in a loose-fitting Martial Arts uniform, frowned slightly as he looked at the blue holographic screen projected before him.

The screen displayed Lu Chao’s detailed profile.

Age, Life Energy development level, past experience...

In a small or medium-sized city circle, he would be considered a genius. But unfortunately, this was Red Maple, one of the most prominent super city circles on all of Earth Star.

An Elite Level at twenty was by no means rare; in fact, there were quite a few.

Moreover, the members recruited for the establishment of this Superpower Sub-Bureau were mostly elite geniuses from the two super city circles of Yao Capital and East Port. They were far more outstanding than him in every aspect.

"His background is too low. It’s either a fortunate encounter or a powerful backer. Based on the results of the specialist assessment, it’s likely the latter. He has a good master supporting him, so you could grudgingly call him a late bloomer. But as for how long his future potential can last, no one can say for sure."

His brow furrowed tightly, and he shook his head. "The key issue is that he used to be with the Patrol Department. He hasn’t had much dealings with Al-Qaeda or warlord factions. He lacks experience."

"If I really let him serve as a captain under me, it’ll just cause trouble if anything goes wrong."

Li Xiyuan’s expression grew more indifferent; he was not pleased.

Every Superpower Team leader was in competition with the others. The more contributions and merits their subordinates achieved, the higher the position they could be transferred to in the future.

Furthermore, certain resources at the Superpower Level were also closely tied to this.

Understanding his meaning, the secretarial assistant who had come to report fell silent for a moment before quietly reminding him, "Team Leader, he does have an official appointment, after all."

"So..."

"Hm, you have a point."

Squinting, Li Xiyuan pondered for a moment.

He couldn’t just ignore an appointment from Yao Capital and openly defy it.

However, he already had a suitable candidate for captain in mind, one who was far more outstanding than this newcomer.

He immediately closed the file.

He had a plan.

"Tell him to come back in a week."
