Chapter 44

"This little girl made the Martial Suppression Division's guards patrol the streets?"

Guan Tong's eyes flashed with essence, and his brain turned quickly.

"Good, good, good!"

Three "good"s in a row represented Guan Tong's inner fluctuation at this moment.

Chen Mu actually had a relationship with people from the Martial Suppression Division!

This was even more exciting to Guan Tong than Chen Mu being a martial arts genius.

Geniuses were certainly worth cultivating, but a network of relationships was more important.

The Big Blade Gang was just an underground gang, barely counting as a small force in Nanyun Prefecture.

And the Martial Suppression Division was the violent institution of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

A huge force that suppressed the entire world's martial arts sects!

The branch in Nanyun Prefecture City was just a small stronghold.

However, even if it was a small stronghold, the person in charge was an expert in the late Innate stage.

If the Big Blade Gang could have a relationship with the Martial Suppression Division...

"Hoo~!"

Guan Tong took a deep breath, calming his restless mood.

Then, light flashed in his eyes, and he made a decision.

The setting sun slanted, and the evening glow filled the sky.

"Old Chen, just send me here."

Nanyun Prefecture, inner city gate, Long Tutu waved at Chen Mu, "Thank you for today. Next time you come to the inner city, I'll take you to play."

"Okay." Chen Mu smiled. "When I'm free, I'll go to the inner city to find you."

"You can also find me if you have anything." Long Tutu patted her small chest. "We are all friends; if you need help, don't be polite."

"By the way."

As if remembering something, Long Tutu reached into her bosom, took out a wooden token, and handed it to Chen Mu.

"Old Chen, take this token; with it, you can enter the gate of the Martial Suppression Division and find me."

"..." Chen Mu hesitated for two seconds, took the token, held it in his hand, and saluted, "Thanks!"

"Don't be polite." Long Tutu waved her hand. "Alright, see you next time!"

After speaking, she turned around gracefully, put her hands behind her back, and walked into the inner city with big strides.

Chen Mu stood where he was, watching Long Tutu go away, watching her ram-horn braid tilt, swaying as she walked, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift.

Ordinary people couldn't get this token that Long Tutu gave him.

Although it wasn't the iron or copper plate of the Division Guard, it also represented an identity: an external member of the Martial Suppression Division!

Simply put, it was a temporary worker.

With this token made of hard wood, not only could he enter the gate of the Martial Suppression Division at will without reporting, but he could also enter the gate of the Nanyun Prefecture government office at will.

If he committed a crime, the people at the government office had no right to arrest him.

The Martial Suppression Division would handle it themselves.

In short, there were many invisible benefits.

"Good people get good rewards?"

Looking at Long Tutu's back, disappearing at the corner, Chen Mu put away the token and smiled.

Then, he turned and left.

Stepping on the evening glow, he returned to Changlong Ward, just entering the gate of the Big Blade Gang's station here.

"Huzi, you're back; go, go, follow me to see the gang leader quickly."

Huang Feiyang walked out and pulled Chen Mu to walk outside.

"The gang leader is looking for us? Was Sun Gang caught?" Chen Mu asked while walking.

"Definitely." Huang Feiyang nodded. "Sun Gang didn't even run out of the city before he was caught. However, the gang leader is looking for us mainly to announce one thing."

"What thing?" Chen Mu was curious.

Hearing this, Huang Feiyang smiled mysteriously. "You'll know when you go."

Still keeping it a secret?

Chen Mu was thoughtful.

Soon.

The two arrived at the Big Blade Gang headquarters.

As soon as they entered the hall, they found that besides Guan Tong, the gang leader, other big leaders and Hall Masters were all present.

"Brother Chen is here." Guan Tong stood up with a full face of smiles.

"Chen Mu has met the gang leader!"

Cupping his hands in a salute, Chen Mu also arched his hands toward the others.

"Haha, Brother Chen, no need for such formalities."

Guan Tong smiled and raised his hand.

Two gang members standing in the corner immediately carried a wooden box each, came to the center of the hall, opened the boxes, and put them down.

As the lids were lifted, a head and a palm were immediately revealed.

The head was Sun Gang's head!

The palm was...

"This hand is Cheng Dongfeng's." Guan Tong said with a smile, "Cheng Dongfeng broke the rules and was caught by us on the spot; this hand is the price he paid!"

There were many rules among underground gangs.

Crossing the border was fine, as long as you could escape or kill your way out.

But if you were caught, then sorry, you had to follow the rules.

Cheng Dongfeng cheating at the gambling table meant cutting off a hand!

As for Sun Gang, he deserved to be beheaded.

"Thank you, gang leader!"

Huang Feiyang saluted gratefully.

Chen Mu followed behind and saluted as well.

"Our own people, why thank me." Guan Tong raised his hand and sighed, "It was my negligence that gave Sun Gang a chance. Fortunately, it wasn't too late, and it was resolved."

"No, no, this has nothing to do with the gang leader; it was all Sun Gang's own doing." Huang Feiyang hurriedly said he didn't dare.

"It was my fault, I admit it." Guan Tong smiled. "Alright, let's skip this matter and not talk about it."

"Calling you two brothers over this time is mainly to announce one thing."

Guan Tong stopped smiling, looked at Chen Mu, and said seriously, "That is, Brother Chen's strength has stepped into the fourth level of the Acquired Realm, enough to serve as a Hall Master."

"I announce that from today on, Brother Chen Mu is the Hall Master of our Big Blade Gang's new hall, the External Affairs Hall!"

What??

Chen Mu was stunned.

Let him be a Hall Master?

"Congratulations, Hall Master Chen!"

"Haha, Hall Master Chen is amazing."

"Congratulations, Hall Master Chen!"

"..."

Others at the scene had already received the news and were now standing up one by one, all smiles, cupping their hands to congratulate.

Including Huang Feiyang, who was full of red light and extremely excited.

Hall Master!

Chen Mu had only been an Inspector for a few days?

And he was already sitting in the position of Hall Master!

This promotion speed was probably the first person in all the gangs in the city!

"..."

Huang Feiyang and others congratulated, but Chen Mu was very calm.

Let him be a Hall Master?

Defeating Cheng Dongfeng in public and revealing his fourth-level Acquired strength was intentional by Chen Mu.

Strength decided everything.

Exposing his real realm of the seventh level of the Acquired Realm would do more harm than good.

The fourth level of the Acquired Realm was just right.

However, this was not the reason Guan Tong gave him the Hall Master position.

Just like the position of big leader, the Hall Master was the same; there was always a radish for a hole, and there was never any extra!

As if knowing what Chen Mu was thinking, Guan Tong explained, "Our Big Blade Gang has a total of four halls, which are the Criminal Law Hall, the Supervision Hall, the Diligent Affairs Hall, and the Transmission Hall."

"This is the original division, however, things change, and I decided to split the Diligent Affairs Hall and divide it into the Internal Affairs Hall and the External Affairs Hall, two halls."

"The responsibility of the Internal Affairs Hall is the same as before, still internal, mainly the External Affairs Hall!"

"The responsibility of the External Affairs Hall is external, collecting information from other forces outside, and establishing an intelligence system!"

"The new hall is established, and things are complicated; Hall Master Chen can pick one hundred people from any hall in the gang to enter the External Affairs Hall, and I will give you one hundred thousand taels of silver as a starting fee."

"Hall Master Chen, do you have the confidence to lead the new hall and stand firm?"
