Chapter 1102: Chapter 947: News of an Old Friend

Dumb Bird indeed. Even Hog Foster was inevitably corrupted after joining H1.

Lu Xiang couldn’t help but be curious, "Didn’t you notice why the Chairperson of the Council arranged for Hog Foster to join the H1 Department?"

"Why?"

"The Review Meeting needed an informer, and Hog Foster was the perfect candidate. In the last incident, he chose the right side. He is now the Chairperson’s favorite, no one is more suitable for the role of informer than him."

At least, Lu Xiang was sure this was the Chairperson’s initial plan.

"But the idea of wellness was brought up by Hog himself; he and Yaku are the ones who discuss it the most enthusiastically. With Yaku’s strong recommendation, the Foster Family recently bought four large tea estates."

"Yes, plans can never keep up with changes."

The transformation of Hog Foster was within her expectations, "Like everyone else, the Chairperson underestimated the terribleness of the Salted Fish Virus."

When the order was given for Song Lan to become the head of the H1 Department, everything was already destined.

Fortunately, it’s not too late to mend the fold.

"They discussed in the meeting today and found some tasks for you."

Lu Xiang inevitably became the one to convey the proposal.

She could only sigh; this was truly the style of the United Government. Despite being courteous to Song Lan on the surface, they couldn’t suppress their desire to control this power. After much publicity from Valerian and others, the relationship between her and Song Lan was no longer a secret. This time, the Review Meeting decided to play the emotional card.

As for the consequences of angering Dumb Bird...

If these people could genuinely consider the consequences and overcome their desire for control, the struggle between the Conservative Faction and the Innovator Faction wouldn’t have lasted till now.

"Let me clarify beforehand, this matter is related to the prison."

"It seems it’s time to use the last resort, Old Lu, tell the Review Meeting later that a rare disease has recently broken out in the H1 Department. The initial symptoms are headache and fever, followed by vomiting and diarrhea a day later. The specialists at the prosthetic hospital haven’t found a specific cure yet, and they think we should recuperate at home... for about a month."

Song Lan admitted that he didn’t expect to reveal his final card so soon. The shamelessness of the Review Meeting refreshed his understanding; he thought they would stay quiet for a month or two for the sake of saving face.

"A legendary figure who overcame the Oasis plague has caught a mysterious contagious disease and has to rest for a month..."

Song Lan always felt that Lu Xiang’s words sounded a bit sarcastic. She blinked and continued, "Especially since ’Plague King Corruption’ was sent to prison by you."

"Plague King!?"

That title sounded pretty cool, almost comparable to his "Invincible Universe" series.

"After witnessing the events in Oasis, people have dubbed him with this new title, and he has also been recorded in the ’National Level Destroyer Ability Collector Catalogue’ by the Spiritual Energy research institute."

"The matter is this."

Song Lan, seizing a sudden idea, immediately found a suitable excuse, "The power of the Plague King is too strong, and I inevitably suffered some internal injuries in that battle, which only erupted recently."

"... Apart from pretending to be sick, don’t you have any other excuses for taking leave?"

This brought up a not-so-pleasant memory for Lu Xiang.

In the Seventeenth Region, Song Lan had a record-breaking month-long bout of stomachaches and headaches. If someone unfamiliar with Song Lan saw the department’s leave application, they might think he was frail enough to be blown away by the wind while walking on the street.

The department had long been accustomed to Song Lan’s "frail and sickly" persona.

"You should listen to the details of the task first before you decide, especially since it involves one of your good friends."

"Which one?"

"Angle Saffire."

"You know, Mr. Angle is a good man, but actually, my relationship with him isn’t that close... Okay, what happened to him?"

Ultimately, curiosity prevailed.

The last time they parted was at Purple Wisteria College, and by then, Angle was no longer fighting alone.

He had inherited the ability "Justice" and gained companions who would stay by his side.

What was that journalist’s name?

Oh right, Ante (see Chapter 552), Song Lan recalled the name.

This showed that he really cared about his friends.

"He’s been captured, and he is currently being escorted to The First Region."

At this point, Lu Xiang glanced at the computer screen’s clock, "He should arrive in about ten minutes."

The transfer of serious criminals is the responsibility of the Counter-Intelligence Department. According to the requests made by the Councilors during the meeting, to ensure a fail-safe escort, Lu Xiang personally will take Angle to the prison transfer point.

Angle Saffron, without a doubt, is currently the top criminal of the United Government.

The turbulence he caused at Purple Wisteria College in the Seventeenth Region reminded the Review Meeting of the terrifying nature of "Justice." Only by locking him up permanently in that inescapable prison could they sleep peacefully at night.

Compared to other serious criminals, "Justice" is undoubtedly the most feared by them. Each action recorded under "Justice" had been meticulously planned beforehand, often catching everyone completely unawares and causing a sensational mess in the world. Moreover, it always had a clear purpose, each operation causing losses to big corporations and those high-sitting families that were hard to count.
