Chapter 106: (99) The Victor’s Treatment (Seeking monthly tickets, recommendations, and subscriptions)_1

Translator: 549690339

There are few people in this world who dare to negotiate terms with Mr. Han, because most of those who do are already dead, and those who have survived are without exception from prominent families.

Of course, Mr. Han wouldn’t take offense at a mere youth.

On the contrary, he even found Pei Jinye’s demeanor somewhat endearing and grounded.

His fingers slid across the papers on the desk, he picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then spoke, “You can choose to go back with me, or continue to stay in Da Peng City for the next ten-plus months. Of course, if you choose to go back with me, I can take care of everything regarding your parents, whether it’s their living arrangements or jobs in the big city—it would merely require a word from me…”

“What would I need to do?” Pei Jinye asked curiously his mind alert.

Mr. Han looked up at Pei Jinye and then retracted his gaze, “Since you’ve experienced Councilor Pei Zhan’s memories, you should have some understanding of the Mobile Task Force, right?”

Pei Jinye nodded.

Mr. Han said calmly, “Since the Federation restructured its powers two hundred years ago, the Mobile Task Force has been reorganized into the Special Investigation Team. If you don’t object, I’ll arrange for you to join the Special Investigation Team to carry out some missions and get a better understanding of this wonderful world in advance.”

Pei Jinye looked up.

Advance understanding?

If only you knew what I’ve been through, it might scare you silly…

“During this time, your cultivation resources will be provided by the Investigation Team. Considering your current situation, I’ll arrange for a protection period, during which you should focus on adapting,” he said unhurriedly.

Mr. Han spoke at ease, “Not to hide from you, headquarters has already taken notice of you. Being an S-level from Central State is enough to attract a crowd, though you don’t weigh as much as those Natural Level S individuals, it’s still enough to put you on some people’s radar.”

He raised his eyes to Pei Jinye, “The reason I want you to come with me is also out of the desire to protect you.”

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Han,” but Pei Jinye didn’t want to be too close to him.

Too close, and his every move would likely be under scrutiny.

In a small place like Da Peng City, far from the Emperor’s reach, killing a few people wouldn’t attract attention from above.

Mr. Han heard the implication in his words but didn’t get angry; instead, he just chuckled softly, “Ambitious. I respect your choice. To be honest, I had anticipated your decision, so…”

He passed over a greenish button.

Pei Jinye took it, puzzled.

Before he could figure it out, he heard Mr. Han say, “Forgive me for taking the liberty on your behalf, but I think this item suits you better than those mediocre techniques. It’s a Yuanli Button, which can be used in a crisis to cause a psychic storm at close range.”

Pei Jinye was a bit surprised and also felt a twinge of loss.

Those techniques… he genuinely coveted them.

He has always believed that one can never have too many skills.

Mr. Han seemed to see through his little thoughts, and couldn’t help but chuckle, “Are you resenting me for exchanging those for this Yuanli Button?”

Pei Jinye shook his head, “Not at all. It’s just that I’m surprised that you would dismiss those technique rewards.”

Mr. Han laughed, “Once you join the Investigation Team, you can apply for any technique you want, why bother with those trifles meant to deceive?”

Pei Jinye was taken aback.

Mr. Han spoke calmly, “The purpose of the elite assessment is not the rewards, but the significance behind it. It concerns a series of influences… whether it’s policies or the candidates themselves. I won’t say too much, as this is still too far away from you. So, have you decided, to stay in Da Peng City?”

“Yes,” Pei Jinye nodded, feigning seriousness, “Perhaps it’s because I grew up here, and I haven’t quite adjusted my mindset yet. I’m not planning to leave for the time being.”

Mr. Han nodded, “I understand.”

He looked at Pei Jinye.

In his eyes, this was still just a high school student who had not yet been tempered by life and death. It was understandable to have such a childlike mindset.

He said evenly, “I’ll give you three days to relax. After three days, someone will contact you. Do not discuss this with anyone. Should anyone ask, Governor Zhou Weiren will take care of it for you. This is also done to keep a low profile regarding your affairs.”

Pei Jinye’s S-level status was enough to catch the attention of the Old Gods Association.

After joining the Investigation Team, unrelated personnel wouldn’t be able to access Pei Jinye’s records.

Any attempt to do so would necessarily go through Governor Zhou Weiren, as well as Mr. Han Sen himself.

Mr. Han looked at Pei Jinye.

This was his most diligent arrangement yet.

To be honest, Pei Jinye truly was a genius.

Whether it was the powerful spiritual power or the unconventional thinking… these were details that caught his attention.

But what he was most interested in—was Star Ring’s assessment of Pei Jinye.

“Let’s hope everything goes as expected.”

Pei Jinye walked Mr. Han out of the attic.

At the helicopter, Governor Zhou Weiren and Major General Wang were present, Mr. Han didn’t say anything more to Pei Jinye.

Everything that needed to be said had been addressed in the attic.

There was no additional matter to instruct at the moment.

As the cabin door closed, the helicopter’s rotors began to accelerate.

Soon, the helicopter equipped with the most powerful firepower left the airspace above the Military Department base.

Governor Zhou Weiren smiled at Pei Jinye, “Mr. Han has already explained that if you or your family have any requirements, feel free to mention them, and our city hall will give you top priority.”
