Chapter 195: 146, My Chen Ge has an unbeatable look_2

Dressed in flowing white attire akin to that of a grand swordsman, he appeared at the entrance of the hall and immediately shouted out “Godfather” as soon as he came in.

In an instant, everyone in the hall instinctively turned to look at the entrance, their eyes landing on the figure of the white-clad youth with a sword on his back.

Upon hearing this call for “Godfather”, the square-faced captain immediately left the tea area with a beaming smile and briskly walked towards the entrance.

The loud shout of “Godfather” from the white-clad youth had been specifically instructed by him.

That previous talk about letting his godson come over for some training was fake.

The real purpose was to show off to his colleagues at the headquarters that he had a provincial top scholar as his godson, seeking to leverage this for career benefits.

As long as his colleagues were aware that he had a provincial top scholar as his godson, his path in the bureaucratic world would become much smoother.

The people under him would respect him even more.

His peers would not dare to oppose him or compete with him for fear of offending him.

The leaders would try to court his favor, in turn trying to ingratiate themselves with him.

After all, being the top scholar of a province was no laughing matter; the youth was destined to become a lofty “Advanced-level Creature”.

Even more so than Lin Zichen, who was the top student in the college entrance examination.

The majority of the personnel in the Public Security Headquarters were ordinary people, and no one dared to offend such an “Advanced-level Creature”.

“That Fang Feixiong is really lucky to have a provincial top scholar as a godson; he’s going to rise in power at the headquarters.”

“He once took a bullet for his brother back in the day, nearly losing his life. Now that his brother’s son has made something of himself, it’s only right that he repays him.”

“Chief Chen often targets him and even found an excuse to dock his bonus six months ago. Do you think Chief Chen will meet with bad luck in the future?”

“Does that even need to be said? He will surely be retaliated against.”

“Chief Chen’s life will not be easy from now on. Good thing I’ve always been kind and have never offended Fang Feixiong.”

As the white-clad youth appeared, many officers in the hall began whispering among themselves.

While being envious of the square-faced captain gaining power at the headquarters, they couldn’t help taking delight in the misfortune that his rivals would be facing bad luck.

Hearing the whispering around him, the square-faced captain felt a surge of triumph in his heart.

Looking at his godson beside him with a slight smile, he said, “Xiao Jian, your dad mentioned you evolved to Common Tier Five a few days ago. That’s really impressive.”

“It’s alright; it was just the normal pace of evolution.”

Luo Yongjian clasped his hands behind his back, responding calmly with an indifferent smile, like the depiction of a heroic swordsman with extraordinary bearing from a martial arts TV drama.

The square-faced captain laughed and said, “That pace is far from normal; your evolution has been too fast. With your rate of progress, I estimate by the second semester of your junior year you’ll evolve into an Advanced-level Creature.”

As he spoke these words, he deliberately raised his voice, worried that the colleagues nearby might not hear.

Listening to that, all the colleagues were green with envy, wishing they had a godson whose coattails they could ride.

Not having a godson would do; godfathers and godmothers would suffice, and even an old dear wouldn’t be off the table.

Unfortunately, most people weren’t that fortunate and could only daydream about it.

Feeling the envious stares of his colleagues, the square-faced captain’s lips were practically curling up to the sky, his heart reveling in delight.

And Luo Yongjian, beside him, was feeling so elated he was nearly breathless.

He had loved to show off since elementary school.

Showing off at school.

Showing off in the residential complex.

Showing off in the streets.

Wherever there was an opportunity to show off, there he would be.

He adored the heroes in martial arts TV dramas because they had high status and could show off.

In fact, the very reason he became the top scholar in Dajiang Province was because of the obsession in the depths of his heart to show off, which drove him to keep moving forward and allowed him to train his body with full motivation every day.

The status of being the top scholar of Dajiang Province allowed him to show off and be the center of attention wherever he went, greatly satisfying his vanity.

“By the way, Xiao Jian, aside from you, there are also two freshmen from Shan University participating in tonight’s operation, including a very beautiful girl. I’ll take you over to meet them,” the square-faced captain said to Luo Yongjian beside him.

Hmm? A very beautiful girl?

Upon hearing this, Luo Yongjian’s eyes lit up; he immediately raised his hand to adjust his flowing locks and then confidently puffed out his chest, eager to strut in front of the pretty girl and show off his charm.

Showcasing one’s charm in front of a beautiful girl is something every teenager loves to do.

It’s just a matter of how overtly it’s done.

Soon, the square-faced captain and Luo Yongjian walked towards the tea area around the corner ahead.

The moment he stepped into view, Luo Yongjian expertly exuded a bit of creaturely pressure to slightly lift his flowing hair, making a dramatic entrance with the image of a sword-wielding hero.

Then, he wore a casual smile as he looked forward to the two sitting in front, ready to impress the pretty girl that his godfather had just mentioned.

However, just as he glanced over and before he could even strike a showy pose, he froze on the spot, dumbstruck.

Damn!

It’s actually Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan?!

What’s the point of showing off now!

Luo Yongjian felt incredibly awkward, his face filled with discomfort, unsure of how to face the two sitting in front of him.

“Xiao Jian, let me introduce you, this is from Nanjiang Province… Hm? Xiao Jian, are you feeling unwell? Why do you look so off?” the square-faced captain asked, only to cut off halfway as he suddenly noticed Luo Yongjian’s unnatural complexion.

Luo Yongjian scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, “It’s nothing; I just didn’t expect to see two acquaintances here and was a bit surprised.”
