Chapter 884 - 446: Promotion to Deputy Speaker! (10,000 Words for Monthly Tickets!)_3

Compared to Liu Xiongyuan, this enemy Huang Shangzong seemed much calmer...

Perhaps having seen too many surprising things from Qiu Tu, he just swept his tiger-like gaze over the Whale Shark's body nonchalantly, as if nothing were amiss, then retracted his gaze and continued to contemplate the next steps for infiltrating the Disaster Zone...

Placing the Whale Shark's body on the table, Qiu Tu gestured towards Elder Wang, "Elder Wang, please check." Then he stepped aside.

Elder Wang bent over in front of the Whale Shark's body, first carefully inspecting the "Boundless Divine Crystal," then closed his eyes to sense the aura left on the Divine Crystal.

Indeed... the aura on the "Boundless Divine Crystal" belonged to only Qiu Tu, with no one else's.

And the fatal wound on the body was indeed from the sword that struck through the air, which also matched the video footage.

'It all seems to be true...'

With that thought, Elder Wang couldn't help but look towards Qiu Tu with a complexity in his eyes.

In fact, Elder Wang and Qiu Tu shared a deep connection. Initially, the first high-level Sanctuary official Qiu Tu met was Elder Wang. (Chapter 256)

Back then, through a remote video call, Elder Wang had given Qiu Tu an assessment of "not bad."

Later, when Qiu Tu was promoted to Head of the Political Department, it was Elder Wang who arranged for someone to assist Qiu Tu, helping him successfully break through Yan Chen's blockade and pass this most critical threshold. (Chapter 294)

Originally, Qiu Tu also thought he was destined to take the path of the Reformist Faction.

But out of nowhere, Elder Tang appeared.

Using his granddaughter as "bait," he hooked Qiu Tu in.

Now, having soared to great heights, Qiu Tu had become someone even the Deputy Speakers needed to take notice of, naturally Elder Wang felt a sense of loss.

'That old Tang... really doesn't act like a proper person.'

While inwardly cursing Elder Tang, Elder Wang looked at Qiu Tu and said, "I don't see any issues upon initial inspection."

"However, for archival purposes, we still need to use professional equipment for a thorough check."

Now belonging to the Fengtian Faction's ranks, Qiu Tu still harbored deep gratitude towards Elder Wang who had once helped him selflessly.

Thus, he responded, "I'll follow Elder Wang's arrangements completely."

Elder Wang nodded slightly and then signaled to the secretary who had been following close by.

Shortly after, several experts came in with their equipment.

They each tested and recorded the aura and the fluctuations of the Cataclysmic Power from both the "Boundless Divine Crystal" and Qiu Tu. Then they started to analyze and compare.

The efficiency of these experts from the Sanctuary was quite high. So in just a moment, they reached a conclusion.

They gave Elder Wang a slight nod, then reported, "Elder Wang, the Whale Shark was indeed slain by Director Qiu."

"His body bears only the aura and the fluctuations of the Cataclysmic Power of Director Qiu."

With the double verification, Elder Wang's smile grew thicker.

He looked at Qiu Tu and spoke in a calm yet powerful tone, "Qiu Tu. You've done very well."

"You have not failed the Sanctuary, Elder Tang, nor my expectations."

"We have also examined your application for Deputy Speaker."

"Considering your abilities, strength, achievements, and experience, we agree to promote you as the Deputy Speaker of the Dongye State Council."

Upon hearing Elder Wang's announcement, even though he knew what to expect, a surge of excitement was unmistakable in Qiu Tu's eyes.

He gave Elder Wang a deep bow and then said, "Thank you, all the Speakers, for your trust. I definitely will not fail the cultivation bestowed upon me by all the Speakers."

At this moment, hearing Elder Wang's announcement and Qiu Tu accepting the position,

Huang Shangzong and Liu Xiongyuan both looked at Qiu Tu with complicated expressions.

Qiu Tu was quite young, only in his twenties, and with his good looks and having undergone three enhancements and one remodeling, he looked even younger.

'A Deputy Speaker of the State Council in his twenties...'

'So young...'

Thinking of this, both men could predict without even needing to, the size of the waves this news would create across Dongye State, and even throughout the entire Eighth Sanctuary...
