The Sword Saint of Arknights [MTL/Machine Translation]

Chapter 14 | Confirmation

After reviewing the files, the high-ranking official sitting across the desk fell silent.

This person was not a stranger to him. Just before, he had heard news related to this person among the upper echelons of Lungmen. Faced with the Lungmen dollars that could secure him a comfortable life in Lungmen for a lifetime, he had refused. Moreover, considering the performance in the previous combat footage, he, as the head of the Guard Bureau, had already entertained the thought of "confirming" him.

However, before he could take action, his own niece had already made the first move.

As for whether this person was a subordinate of those guys in the upper levels of Lungmen?

That was irrelevant to him. After all, he was the leader of Lungmen, not those guys.

Besides, what could a newcomer who had just joined do?

"I agree."

As his voice fell, the old dragon picked up the pen and signed the name "Wei Yenwu," then took out the Guard Bureau's seal and stamped it on the document.

Knock knock knock...

Knock knock knock...

Knock knock knock...

Just then, a knock on the door sounded.

As the two people in the office turned their heads, they saw Roy, the guy they were discussing.

"May I come in?"

"Of course, please come in."

With Wei Yenwu's voice, Roy entered the office. It was at this moment that Roy officially met the head of the Lungmen Guard Bureau, who was also the highest official of the mobile city of Lungmen.

Although he was just the head of the Guard Bureau, if placed in the police system of Roy's previous world, his position would be at least equivalent to the head of a Public Security Department. However, the situation in Lungmen was more akin to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, which meant that Wei Yenwu, while serving as the head of the Police Department, also held the position of the highest official. Even in his previous life, Roy could only see such a big shot on television.

After receiving the other party's consent, Roy entered the office without any hesitation, approached the desk, and then handed over his resignation letter.

When Wei Yenwu saw the content of the document, a meaningful expression appeared on his dragon-like face. He first looked at Chen, then at Roy.

After a brief contemplation, he spoke:

"If you had come a bit earlier, perhaps I would have approved your resignation. But now, it's too late."

With that, Wei Yenwu picked up the document that had been signed and handed it to Roy.

As Roy read the content, Wei Yenwu continued:

"Based on the recommendation of Chief Inspector Chen and the Personnel Department's investigation of your behavior and background, the Lungmen Guard Bureau has decided to appoint you as a police officer of the Guard Bureau while retaining your original rank."

At this point, Wei Yenwu looked at Roy, as if suddenly thinking of something, the old dragon then said:

"This decision has already started a 15-day public notice period. In other words, you no longer have the possibility to back out now."

"..."

Listening to Wei Yenwu's words, Roy fell into thought. He had thought Chen was joking before, but he didn't expect her to take action, and so quickly at that!

With this, he had to consider the consequences of refusing her.

If he were familiar with this world, he could naturally leave this place. However, he was not even familiar with this city yet, let alone the world!

"Of course, if you can convince Officer Chen, I'm not opposed to signing and stamping for you."

Hearing Wei Yenwu's words, Roy essentially gave up.

Although he hadn't been in contact with Chen for long, he had some understanding of her character. She was strict with herself and others, and her personal character was somewhat stubborn. Unless there was some significant change, no one could persuade her!

Seeing the change in Roy's expression, the old dragon's face returned to its previous look. Then, he tore the resignation letter into pieces and threw it into the trash can.

"Officer Chen, I'll leave the rest to you."

Wei Yenwu's intention to see the guest out couldn't be clearer. As his voice fell, Chen directly pulled Roy out of the office.

At this moment, the two were walking side by side in the corridor. When they reached the end of the corridor, Chen finally spoke.

"Why do you want to resign?"

It wasn't the tone of a casual inquiry, but rather one akin to interrogating a criminal, as if Roy's actions had violated some rule.

However, Roy wasn't puzzled by Chen's reaction. After all, the person she had recommended wanted to resign, which would elicit such a reaction from anyone.

"Because I want to go out and explore."

Saying this, Roy paused for a moment. He came to the window at the end of the corridor and looked out at the vast Lungmen district and the areas beyond.

Being confined to this city was not what he wanted, even if he didn't start from the identity of a police officer but as a transmigrator. Since he had transmigrated, it meant he had something different from others, and it also meant that Roy had obtained a certain mission.

He wanted to see what this world was really like and see what places were worth using that power.

However, this thought had to stop here, at least for the near future, as he had almost lost the opportunity to leave Lungmen.

"Just for that?!"

"What, is it funny?"

"No, it's not."

At this moment, Chen's expression softened a lot.

As she took her gaze back from the window and pressed the elevator button, she continued:

"If you just want to wander around, then joining the Special Operations Group will give you plenty of opportunities."

"After all..."

With that, Chen entered the elevator, leaned against the inner wall, and looked at Roy, then continued:

"The tasks of the Special Operations Group are not limited to the Lungmen district. To investigate a certain matter or to capture a certain criminal, we may even have to cross the entire continent and go to other countries."

"..."

Roy did not respond to her words. Now, he could only take one step at a time.

Perhaps, for him, joining the Special Operations Group wasn't necessarily a bad thing?

At this moment, Roy could only comfort himself with these thoughts. As for running away... not to mention whether he could leave Lungmen, even if there was a chance, he wouldn't leave in that manner.

He could accept a normal resignation, but he couldn't accept the act of fleeing like a deserter in the face of battle!
