Chapter 644: The Director's seat is mine to take

~6 min read 1,197 words

Just one punch, and half of Chuan Xu Feng's body was directly shattered, the whole person flew backward.

But inside his body there was no flesh and blood, only a pile of broken sword blades.

One punch defeats the Chief!!!

"Puh-cough cough...."

"Don't! Stop hitting! If you hit me again I'll die!"

Seeing Zhang Jie raise his fist, Chuan Xu Feng's whole body shuddered; since becoming Chief, he hadn't felt this extreme near-death sensation in a long time.

That sword, which cuts through anything, was as fragile as paper before Zhang Jie; even though his whole body was made of broken sword blades, he couldn't withstand one punch.

"Brother, you're awesome!!!!"

Zhang Yan shouted triumphantly; I have to say, if it were the earlier Zhang Yan, he'd probably have started overthinking right there.

The effect of the willpower increase is extremely obvious; you know, internal drain is a major taboo for an Abnormal Bureau staff member!

So, for the current Zhang Yan, the increase in willpower has made her completely a person without internal drain!

"Wa wa wa oh!!!"

Qi Yu stood majestically on Zhang Jie's shoulder, howling, while Zhang Jie looked at Chuan Xu Feng's half-shattered body and finally lowered his fist.

"Honest now?"

"Honest, bro."

"No more showing off?"

"Never again, bro."

Zhang Jie curled his lips; back when he first saw this guy, he thought he might be some kind of sword immortal, but now it seems he's nothing special.

"Old Zhang... if you don't come out again, we brothers are really going to die..."

Huang Mao, supported by Qiu Yu, came to Zhang Jie's side, complaining weakly.

After not seeing each other for over two years, Zhang Jie had thus become Chief, and he had even been surpassed by Zhang Jie's older sister.

Zhang Jie curled his lips, his gaze moving back and forth between the two, finally revealing a smile of understanding.

"You two... are you dating?"

"You can tell that? Cut it out."

"Alright, alright, stop being petty; the matter's settled, go rest and recover."

"And tell Director that old idiot, his position is mine to sit in."

Huang Mao happily agreed; as expected of Zhang Jie, that damn sense of security—nostalgia!

"Brother! Livestream! The livestream is still on!"

That livestream drone is still flying in the air, diligently broadcasting Zhang Jie's exploits; Zhang Jie doesn't know how others view him, nor does he care.

No matter what these people say, they can't change the fact that he is Chief.

"By the way, how did that idiot Ceng Tian get caught?"

Zhang Jie wondered, the Chief is a synonym for strength; even Chief versus Chief, when giving their all, they can take out three or four people in one go.

The previous Chief completely infected by mimetic infection is an example; Zhang Jie clearly remembers that report, three Chiefs killed the opponent at the cost of serious injuries.

And this was under the premise of being besieged by ten Chiefs.

"Wow, bro! You've gone viral!"

When Zhang Jie's punch obliterated Chuan Xu Feng, the full-screen bullet comments instantly turned into things like 'How the heck?'

This scene shocked those ordinary people no less than being hit by a zero-frame shot in a game....

It's exactly that exaggerated, not the slightest bit excessive.

"What did they say?"

Zhang Jie asked curiously; although he didn't care, a better reputation is always nice, and it doesn't conflict.

"Um... others don't know, the higher-ups of the Abnormal Bureau have sent you an invitation...."

"I've brushed a hundred big rockets..."

"Higher-ups?"

"Is it the old fogeys of the Forbidden Permit? Or some other veteran Chiefs?"

"Hmm, what are you planning to do?"

Zhang Jie pondered for a moment; what else is there to say? If there's some conspiracy or trick, just bring it on.

The old fogeys of the Forbidden Permit probably won't intervene personally; the Abnormal Bureau isn't run by just this bunch, so unless a hundred or eighty Chiefs surround him, the rest likely won't pose any danger.

Zhang Jie nodded and said to the few people.

"Take care of Qi Yu for me; I'll go first."

"Master!!!"

Qi Yu shouted unwillingly, but to no avail; the older sister had tightly grabbed her.

"Hehe, you little thing's turned back into your old self."

"How cute!"

"Hey big bro! What are you going to do?"

Taking advantage of nobody's notice, Zhang Shuo walked silently toward the direction Zhang Jie left, but was still discovered by Zhang Yan.

"I... let's see if there's anything I can help with."

"Oh no, hurry back!"

"In front of the camera, your punch completely ignited public opinion; Chuan Xu Feng also counts as a veteran Chief, active on social media with considerable fame."

"Then he was obliterated by one punch—physically obliterated—by you, this newly promoted Chief."

"Although some will still doubt your humanity, those smears against you are being debunked one by one, and they care about your reputation even more than you do."

The scene of shattering a Chief with a single punch was truly too shocking; your various deeds began to be dug up one by one, rumors collapsed on their own, and your status rose rapidly.

And now you have already arrived at the Abnormal Bureau Headquarters above the Mother Star; inside the Supreme Judgment Hall, it is packed with countless Chiefs.

Knowing there are tigers in the mountain, one still insists on going tiger-hunting; even though the Judgment Hall lies ahead, Zhang Jie does not retreat.

He strode in with large steps....

But to Zhang Jie's surprise, the person being judged was not him, and moreover some staff led him to a seat on the second floor.

A certain unnamed Chief beside him, seeing his arrival, even voluntarily shifted to make room.

Zhang Jie looked utterly bewildered, could only sit down in bewilderment, and after listening for a while he finally understood.

The person being judged at this moment is precisely the mastermind who caused Zhang Jie to hide for so long.

Zhang Jie instantly understood: the Abnormal Bureau was trying to curry favor with him; likely, as soon as they learned on Azure Star that he had broken through to Chief, they had already begun planning this trial.

"That's still a wise choice."

Zhang Jie muttered, but he always felt something was vaguely off.

It seemed a gaze from not far away kept fixed on him, making his whole body break out in gooseflesh.

"The trial ends here."

"Anyone still has objections?"

"You're slandering me! I didn't...."

Before that person could finish speaking, his whole body suddenly went blank-eyed, he lowered his head; this situation was extremely similar to Lei Na's condition at that time.

'Not right.... this is a scapegoat.'

Zhang Jie surveyed his surroundings and finally found the source of that gaze.

A man wearing a monocle, elegant in appearance, was essentially a scholar.

Zhang Jie silently memorized that person's face, then looked downward.

"Chief Zhang Jie, with this result, are you satisfied?"

The Chief Judge looked toward Zhang Jie and slowly spoke.

"Of course."

Zhang Jie stood up, no longer interested in observing this farce.

"I am very satisfied with your judgment."
