Chapter 299 Director Li?
"Then let's cook the raw rice into cooked rice first."
Hearing Ye Fan's hesitant voice, Zuo Qing chuckled and waved the document in her hand.
"Tell me, what if I release this information...?"
"Will those Night's Watch high command members who previously opposed it finally shut up?"
At this point, Ye Fan understood what Zuo Qing meant.
If Li Jie becoming the head of the Special Operations Division is what the people want, then he has no choice but to accept the position!
"That's it!"
.........
Within the mist, two streaks of light, one black and one blue, were rapidly hurtling towards the direction of Great Xia.
Just now, in the realm of the gods in Olympus, Nyx not only drained the source of the divine mountain where Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades' palace were located, but also...
They also took away the primordial power contained within the Forest of Oracles.
After Nyx stripped away the divine power of the Oracle Forest, the towering divine tree that had grown for thousands of years withered at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After doing all this, Nyx grabbed the still-struggling Li Jie without saying a word and disappeared from the Olympus Realm in a flash.
The reason is simple: I've taken so many benefits from them, if I don't leave now...
We might really anger Hera.
As for the plan targeting the World Tree...
After thinking about it, Li Jie gave up the idea.
Although he had just fooled the gods standing on the mountaintop with an empty shell of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth.
But that was just a temporary measure; if another battle were to break out, the truth would be revealed instantly.
However, the current result is already quite good.
"Aunt Nyx, what are your plans for the future?"
"Are we going back to Olympus?"
"I probably won't go back for the time being. With so much primal power lost, Olympus's national fortune has already been damaged. If I go back alone, I'm afraid the conservative gods, led by Hera, will really join forces to capture me. Although they can't kill me, it will still be a troublesome matter."
"Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades are all dead. The remaining few are not very strong. We can take revenge when we have the chance."
Hearing this, Li Jie nodded slightly.
"Then why are you coming back to Great Xia with me?"
Upon hearing this, Nyx gave Li Jie a strange look.
Do you know how to use the Olympus Mountain Source?
"will not."
"Isn't that settled? Since this is our agreement, I should wait until everything has settled down before I leave."
"Maybe I'll get to see Thanatos again?"
After Nyx's voice fell, Li Jie was stunned for a moment.
So...
It seems that it's about time before Qi Ye and the others return to Da Xia.
Including the year I spent in the dream altar, it has been a year and eight months since the day we parted.
So, in that case...
The time for the second catastrophic beast tide to arrive is fast approaching.
I wonder how the discussions about the sea fortress are going...
While they were pondering, Li Jie and his companion were already close to entering the border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
.........
Shangjing City, Night Watch Headquarters.
When Li Jie and Nyx reappeared at the dark gate.
He noticed that the number of Night Watch support staff running around the headquarters had more than doubled.
It seems that Ye Fan accomplished quite a bit during his time away from home.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, he chuckled and shook his head before walking inside.
Now that he had returned safely, he had to at least report to Ye Fan.
The receptionist was still the same shy girl with thick glasses.
When she saw Li Jie return, she hurriedly bowed.
"Director Li, you're back."
"Yes, I'm back. Is Commander Ye here?"
"Yes, you can go directly up to him."
"Thank you."
Just as he was leaving the front desk and preparing to go upstairs, he seemed to suddenly realize something and stood there frozen in place.
He mechanically turned his head and hesitantly asked.
"Um, excuse me, what did you call me just now?"
Upon hearing Li Jie's question, the receptionist answered quite frankly.
"Director Li?"
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
"Wait, wasn't I also an operations specialist? When did I become a section chief?"
"Oh, you mean this? This is an order issued three days ago after the high-level decision, and it has probably been distributed to the Night Watch squads stationed in various cities by now."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie was stunned...
Didn't I already refuse Commander Ye's offer to be the head of the Special Operations Division?
So where did this order come from...?
"Stop shouting, let me go find Commander Ye first."
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Li Jie first gave some instructions to the front desk staff, and then strode up the stairs.
"Okay, Director Li, take care."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie stumbled and nearly fell down the stairs.
..........
When Li Jie led Nix into Ye Fan's office in a hurry, he found that the small office was quite lively today.
Not only were Ye Fan and Zuo Qing, the two leaders of the Night Watch, discussing matters here, but even the captains of several special teams who were usually very busy were called back.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Wang Mian, who had removed his mask, crossed his arms and chuckled.
"Hey, the section chief's back! How's Olympus? Is it as legendary as they say?"
Standing to the side, Xia Simeng also looked aggrieved, as if she was about to cry.
"Director Li, you're finally back! You have to stand up for me! Commander Ye and Commander Zuo won't give me time off! I'm exhausted~ Waaaaah~~~!"
"Wait a minute! Don't cry yet!"
Seeing this, Li Jie felt a chill run down his spine.
"No, boss, that's a bit unfair of you. I'm fighting bravely on the front lines, and you're trying to pull a sneak attack on me!"
"Boy, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."
"Your appointment wasn't decided by the two of us; it was a matter of unanimous agreement reached through discussions at the highest levels."
"You need to understand, the Night Watchmen don't have the surname Ye..."
Although Ye Fan implied that this matter had nothing to do with him, Li Jie could clearly see the hidden smile in the former's eyes.
"No, I wasn't there when you had the meeting, so that doesn't count!"
"Oh, I see..."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fan feigned an "I see" expression and chuckled as he spoke.
"Are you mistaken...? Special operations specialists aren't part of the higher-ups. We only called you to the meeting to sit in..."
"So, your presence or absence won't affect the meeting's decisions, and given the current situation, it seems you don't have much room to refuse..."
By the end, Ye Fan couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
