Urban Peerless Expert

The Warrior Medal was quickly delivered into Lin Chen’s hand.

There was no award ceremony with everyone’s attention, and Qiu Chan provided an explanation for this.

"You are an extremely special existence within the Security Bureau, so it’s inconvenient to award you in front of others. Would you mind?"

Lin Chen fiddled with the golden medal in his hand and smiled, saying, "There’s nothing to mind, no problem."

Though he was employed at the Security Bureau, in over a year, he had barely visited the Security Bureau and only went on one mission; he didn’t know any colleagues there.

He and the Security Bureau colleagues are fundamentally different people. If they really gathered all the people from the Security Bureau together to give him a lively award ceremony, wouldn’t it invite jealousy?

The benefits are in hand, that’s all that matters, the rest is unimportant.

Qiu Chan smiled and said, "Alright then, consider this matter thoroughly settled, you may return, I’ll inform you if anything comes up."

"Okay!"

Qiu Chan reminded, "Although your lives are long, and there’s no need to rush the improvement of strength, when we carry out missions, we will certainly encounter strong opponents, just like meeting Zhao Guangting last time, so don’t neglect your cultivation."

Lin Chen nodded and smiled slightly, "Xue Wenrui’s mother gave us quite a big gift, the latest version of the ETN potion, all having a certain validity period, I certainly won’t neglect cultivation."

Qiu Chan nodded with satisfaction, a smile appearing on the face: "You being Xue Wenrui’s master seems like a pretty good choice."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Ruirui is a good girl, just a bit mature beyond her years. By the way, I went to the Fang Family Manor for a meal, met the Star Core Leader, but I feel their family relationships are a bit strange, can you tell me about it?"

Pausing for a moment, Lin Chen added, "Now that I am Ruirui’s master, sooner or later I will know about their family relationships. Knowing earlier might help our interactions."

Qiu Chan’s eyes showed slight hesitation: "You’ve met the Star Core Leader?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Had a banquet together, he said I saved Ruirui to express thanks, but I feel that his relationship with Ms. Fang doesn’t quite seem like that of formal husband and wife..."

Qiu Chan was silent for a few seconds, finally speaking, "They are not husband and wife."

Lin Chen blinked, a multitude of possibilities flashed through his mind, but he didn’t speak, just slightly tilted his head, a confused expression on the face.

Since Qiu Chan had started, she didn’t hide further, continuing, "Ms. Fang was once the lover of the Star Core Leader, but for some reasons, they did not end up together, the Star Core Leader married someone else, it was a political marriage."

"The Star Core Leader and his current wife have no feelings, by chance, the Star Core Leader and Ms. Fang reunited again..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen already understood.

People in love ended up together, but in a way not recognized by society.

"So their current relationship..."

Qiu Chan shook her head and said, "How they get along, I really don’t know, I only know that their relationship is like this."

Lin Chen pondered, "Although they say Ms. Fang is the Star Core Leader’s true love, from a societal perspective, Ruirui is the Star Core Leader’s illegitimate daughter?"

"Yes."

Qiu Chan replied, "Their relationship is not known by many, but the rebels targeted Xue Wenrui this time, clearly aware of her relationship with the Star Core Leader, trying to use her to threaten the Star Core Leader."

Lin Chen nodded, paused, and couldn’t help asking, "Since the Star Core Leader has a business marriage, there should be children, right? Can the wife at home tolerate this?"

Qiu Chan pursed her lips, "These matters are not within the responsibility range of the Security Bureau."

Lin Chen extended his hand, touched his chin, and smiled bitterly, "Seems being this master isn’t so easy after all."

Qiu Chan replied, "Maybe so, but even if there are some targeting or trouble, I think it would be within a certain range, the Star Core Leader isn’t someone soft-hearted."

Lin Chen understood.

Even if Xue Wenrui is his illegitimate daughter, she is still his daughter, a child of him and the woman he loves, absolutely not permitted to be bullied by others, not even by his wife or his son.

Lin Chen thought for a moment and asked, "Ms. Fang’s background?"

Qiu Chan replied, "The Fang family is also one of the elite families on Emperor Star; her grandfather is senior management in the Science Council, holding significant sway, but obviously, there is no comparison to the Sun family."

Pausing for a moment, Qiu Chan added, "The Star Core Leader’s wife is surnamed Sun, from the Sun family, one of the Thirty-six Elite Families, ranked among the Upper Twelve Gates."

Lin Chen nodded, "A typical wealthy family love story."

Qiu Chan hesitated for a moment, replied, "Although the Star Core Leader is extremely powerful, not just personally strong people can ascend to that position, he needs substantial support from others, otherwise, the person on that seat would be a representative endorsed by other forces."

Lin Chen clicked his tongue, "Seems the position of the Federation Star Core Leader isn’t so easy to hold, nor is it as bright as I thought..."

Qiu Chan’s tone was calm, "Where there are people, there are interests, no matter how strong, it is still just one person, the Federation is not the Heavenly God Realm, relying on personal ability alone cannot transcend the social system."

Lin Chen understood what Qiu Chan meant, in the Cultivation World, as long as you are strong enough, strong enough to crush all opposition, then you are the undisputed number one.

The Immortal Emperor in the Immortal Realm, the Demon Emperor in the Demon World, the Heaven Deity in the Heavenly God Realm, all follow one principle, strength overrides rules.

However, in the Federation, there are many powerhouses, advanced technology, even a Level 10 War God with extraordinary combat power doesn’t dare to disdain everything, doesn’t dare to say they have no adversary.

If you can’t surpass the social rules, then you’ll be bound within them, since that’s the case, relying solely on personal force or ability is insufficient.

A hero needs the help of many, to climb higher, to reach higher places, you need more supporters.

In the Federation, what holds the most resources?

Wealthy families, conglomerates!

Their tentacles have long since extended into every corner of the Federation, no matter who wants to surpass them and become the lofty Star Core Leader, it is absolutely impossible.

No matter how capable, you need the support of wealthy families and conglomerates to possibly sit in that position.

Xue Lingtian is likely that way.

His rise undoubtedly had the backing of elite families.

The Sun family, Qi family...

Qiu Chan gazed into Lin Chen’s eyes, watching the faint sarcasm undisguised in them, calmly said, "Some things, just keep them between you and me, don’t speak recklessly outside."

Lin Chen chuckled, "Relax, I won’t seek trouble, but Team Leader, you are indeed different..."

Qiu Chan calmly responded, "Facts are there, denial doesn’t erase them, as for what’s been said..."

Qiu Chan was silent for several seconds, finally letting out a low hum like a sigh, "The Federation is too vast."
