Once, I wanted to be a good person
Chapter 835 - 835: 208. Help Miaomiao Achieve Nobility (6000 words)_3

The Rejuvenation Society is the weakest force nurtured by Dahei Jialuo. Councilor Huang and other hidden forces have definitely been helping Dahei Jialuo collect this item over the years.

So... as long as we capture Dahei Jialuo and search his treasure trove, we might just be able to gather the "Qin 28" that Miaomiao needs to upgrade.

Thinking like this, Fang Ze suddenly felt a strong desire to capture Dahei Jialuo and bring him to justice.

As for why Fang Ze goes to such lengths to nurture Qiaoqiao? Actually, he has his own selfish reasons.

Apart from the original self owing the girl a bit, Fang Ze also knows she is his most devout and competent Believer.

Moreover, recently, Fang Ze has learned from many about the "Curse of Noble Bloodlines," knowing that the more numerous the noble family members are, the more dispersed their potential becomes; the fewer there are, the more concentrated. In a family with only one noble, there's a high probability that person could become a Demigod.

So... he intends to raise his loyal Believer to become the Demigod in his ranks.

Given the current volatile state of the Federation, a clash among the gods in the future is almost a certainty. By then, even if Fang Ze were a Demigod himself, a single Demigod would be far too weak.

Therefore, if he could nurture a fiercely loyal individual like Miaomiao to become a Demigod, that would greatly enhance Fang Ze's side's strength...

With that in mind, finally finding the "solution," Fang Ze relaxed and returned to bed, snuggling into his covers, and drifted off into a deep sleep...

...

All was quiet overnight, and the next day, Fang Ze went to the Security Bureau for work as usual.

Not sure if it was just being overly sensitive, but Fang Ze constantly felt that everyone in the Security Bureau was treating him with more kindness.

Especially the higher-ups from other departments and several deputy directors, who used to be somewhat dismissive or just gave him a casual glance, were now not only greeting him warmly but even taking the initiative to invite him to their offices for a chat. This left Fang Ze bewildered for a moment.

Ultimately, it was Li Xiang, who approached Fang Ze under the guise of work, who gave him the answer.

"Director, didn't you know? Last night, word spread throughout the bureau that your ranks have been joined by another Mortality-Shedding tier expert."

"Two Mortality-Shedding tier experts, eh? The highest strength in the Security Bureau is only at the peak of Yang Transformation; who would dare to provoke you? So, you can really strut your stuff at the Provincial Government now," she told him.

Hearing Li Xiang's words, Fang Ze was momentarily at a loss for words.

In this world, no... in any world, it's always so pragmatic. Strength is always the best way to earn others' respect.

However, Fang Ze didn't let this get to his head, as the strength of his subordinates was ultimately theirs, not his.

External power, though usable and borrowable, cannot be relied upon. The key still lies in making oneself stronger.

With that in mind, Fang Ze "thud" collapsed onto his desk.

Seeing his peculiar behavior, Li Xiang, who was standing beside him, looked at him curiously, with a question mark popping up over her head.

Fang Ze quickly refocused his mind, controlling the "External Dharma Aspect" within him, and then explained, "It's nothing. I just didn't sleep well last night and am a bit sleepy. All good now. You can go."

Hearing Fang Ze's words, Li Xiang hesitated, then nodded her head and walked out of the office. As she left, she muttered to herself softly, "Didn't sleep well, a bit sleepy? Can someone at the Yang Transformation stage even feel sleepy...?"

......

The news of Hei Po becoming a Mortality-Shedding tier individual had a bigger impact than Fang Ze anticipated.

Initially when Black Bull reached the Mortality-Shedding tier, it just proved that the newly established Si Family had stabilized its footing, and many were surprised but just observed. However, before two days had passed, another Mortality-Shedding tier individual emerged, compelling various powers at the Provincial Government to take the Si Family seriously.

Therefore, throughout the morning, Fang Ze received many invitations from various influences of the Provincial Government.

Among them, two were of utmost importance. One was sent by Councilor Jia, who once again expressed his desire to visit Fang Ze's home. Compared to the reserved manner of his previous offer to join forces, his language this time was much more ingratiating and direct.

It seemed that he had realized that as Fang Ze's subordinates and influence continued to grow, the more they grew, the less valuable his participation would be, so he was getting anxious.

Fang Ze cared quite a bit about this Council Member who was the first to defect to him, and after pondering for a moment, decided to meet him at home that very noon.

He decided not to meet Councilor Jia in the evening because of the second invitation Fang Ze valued.

That invitation was from the three nobles directly governing the three states of the Eastern Administrative Region. This was their third time inviting Fang Ze.

Fang Ze had declined their previous two invitations. If he declined again this time, it would seem rather discourteous.

Moreover, if their previous invitations seemed somewhat perfunctory and condescending, this time it was very formal and polite.

Furthermore, in the invitation, these three nobles also specifically mentioned they had important matters to discuss with Fang Ze that evening, hoping he would attend.

For these three reasons, it would only be appropriate for Fang Ze to meet with this coalition that wielded considerable influence over the nobility of the Eastern Administrative Region.

After finalizing these two meetings, Fang Ze quickly wrote his replies, then called over Little You to help him send them back.
