Chapter 367: See Your Person in Charge!

Shi Fu Qing sat elegantly on the sofa nearby, crossing her legs with a meaningful smile on her lips. "Hmph, who knows? Perhaps someone fears his ability threatens their own status. But this is a good opportunity for me." A flash of jealousy crossed her eyes, and when she looked at Guo Yao's photo, her gaze was filled with hostility.

Miwa Haruhiko leaned against the doorway, a cunning smile on his face, muttering softly, "Interesting, it seems this good show has only just begun." As he spoke, he fiddled with the communicator in his hand, seemingly reporting something to someone.

Li An left the research institute, his anger like a raging fire within his heart that could not be extinguished. He decided to go directly to the Academy City management department to demand an explanation. As he walked into the management building, people around him cast strange glances—some curious, some mocking, others disdainful. These looks were like sharp knives, stabbing at Li An's heart.

"I want to see your person in charge!" Li An walked to the front desk, slammed the table hard, and shouted loudly. The front-desk staff was startled by his action; she trembled as she said, "Y-You... please wait a moment, I will contact them for you right away." Shortly after, a middle-aged man in a suit walked out. Looking at Li An, he wore an expression of impatience. "You are Li An? If you have something to say, say it quickly; I am busy." His tone was full of arrogance and contempt.

Li An took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. "I want to know why I am banned from entering Academy City's research institutes. I am a participant in Academy City; my superpower has improved. This should be good news for Academy City. Why restrict me?" He looked firmly at the middle-aged man, trying to find an answer on his face. The middle-aged man sneered and said, "This is a decision by Academy City's higher-ups; I do not know the specific reason. You might as well accept it quietly. Do not make futile resistance, or you will bear the consequences yourself." Having spoken, he turned to leave.

Seeing this, Li An grabbed the middle-aged man's arm and said angrily, "This is unfair treatment! I will not give up so easily!" The middle-aged man forcefully shook off Li An's hand and shouted loudly, "Are you threatening me? Security, get him out of here!" Immediately, several security guards rushed in from all directions, surrounding Li An completely.

Li An looked at the security guards around him; his anger reached its peak. His superpower surged within his body, a powerful force ready to explode at any moment. Just then, Guo Yao hurriedly arrived. Seeing the scene before her, she was startled. "Li An, do not act impulsively!" she shouted loudly, then ran to Li An's side and grabbed his hand. Li An turned his head, looking at Guo Yao's anxious eyes; the anger in his heart gradually subsided a bit. "Guo Yao, how did you get here?" he asked softly. Guo Yao looked at Li An, her eyes full of worry: "I heard you came to the management department. Fearing something might happen to you, I hurried over. Let us go back first and figure something out later." Li An looked at Guo Yao, nodded, then glared fiercely at the middle-aged man. Under the security guards' watch, he left the management department with Guo Yao.
