Then, Let Them Offer Their Loyalty!

Chapter 15: Exultation

Chapter 15 Exultation

The two of them were clearly awakened by the noise at the door. Their hair was disheveled like an uncombed bird's nest, and they were only wearing large shorts, looking completely unkempt.

However, the agent at the door did not find this strange. In this world, survival was difficult for everyone except a privileged few, so who cared about living conditions?

The agent reached out and took the uniform and shoulder insignia from the temporary agent, handing them to Qiu Tu with both hands, "Sir!"

After Qiu Tu took the uniform, the agent did not leave. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Qiu Tu again with both hands, "Sir! This is my contact information."

"If you ever need anything, please feel free to call on me. I will be at your service anytime!" He repeated his name, "My name is Li Ke."

After speaking, he saluted Qiu Tu and left without any hesitation.

Watching Li Ke's back, Qiu Tu's eyes flickered, and a smile appeared on his lips. ‘Smart people are indeed everywhere.’

Yesterday, he had been tirelessly ingratiating himself with Fang Ming to get A Tai into the Special Operations Division. Today, after being promoted to a high-level agent in the Political Division, people were already starting to flock to him.

With this in mind, Qiu Tu put Li Ke's note in his pocket. If a suitable opportunity arose, he wouldn't mind giving this clever agent a chance.

Turning back, he saw A Tai looking around in disbelief, "Brother, you really became a high-level agent? And joined the Political Division?"

Qiu Tu closed the door and smiled, nodding, "Yes."

A Tai was excited, "Damn, I was worried about you all night!"

"That's why I dragged Eagle to squat at the garden gate. We planned to rush in and save you if you didn't come out."

"But you came out unscathed. And you even got promoted?"

Hearing this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but laugh, "Rush in to save me? With that little iron hammer of yours?"

"Do you know how many agents and guns are in there? You'd be shot dead before you reached me."

A Tai scratched his head, "I didn't care! I was going to save you anyway!"

"Ever since you saved me as a child, my life has been yours!"

Qiu Tu's eyes flickered with emotion as he thought of his past with A Tai.

When he spoke to Fang Ming the previous day, his words were half true. It was true that A Tai had been in a gang and blacklisted for resisting the military.

The false part was that it wasn't A Tai's parents who had helped Qiu Tu, but rather, Qiu Tu and his dozen or so brothers who had always relied on each other.

Qiu Tu was an orphan who survived by scavenging. At six, he found the dying A Tai in a trash heap. At eight, he found Eagle, and at ten, he found A Kun.

In the post-cataclysm world, where survival was uncertain, the children banded together for warmth, gradually growing their group to over twenty people.

As they grew older, they were absorbed into local gangs, but their bonds remained strong.

When the military came to clear out the underground gangs, some of their group were killed, blacklisted, or fled.

When New Realm City was established, Qiu Tu became an agent due to his appearance, his health body, his driving technique and no criminal records. He then found and arranged for his brothers.

This life-or-death bond made A Tai's words genuine. He would risk being shot to save Qiu Tu.

With this thought, Qiu Tu looked deeply at A Tai, then patted him heavily on the shoulder. ‘I need subordinates like Li Ke who come for benefits; I need brothers like you even more.’

As a great man once said: "To accomplish great things, make many friends and few enemies."

Only by uniting all possible forces can one become strong and create brilliance!

After changing into his new uniform and shoulder insignia, Qiu Tu received a communication from Jia Shu, who asked him to go to the garden villa for a task.

Qiu Tu guessed that Yan Chen had made a decision.

After a quick explanation to A Tai and Eagle, Qiu Tu bought a bun on the way and took a horse-powered city bus to Yan Chen's villa.

A Tai and Eagle, eager to announce the good news, went to their security bureau. They had become temporary agents because Qiu Tu had pulled some strings. Initially, they were given important tasks, but as it became clear Yan Chen didn’t care about them, they were sidelined.

Now, things were different. With Qiu Tu's promotion, they would rise too, eager to announce their news.

In a world like this, hiding one’s strength was impossible. One had to show power to prevent others from taking advantage.

After transferring buses twice and walking for ten minutes, Qiu Tu finally arrived at the city garden. He realized he needed a vehicle to save time.

After confirming his identity with the sentry, Qiu Tu walked into the garden.

Yan Chen had a refined taste. The garden, beautiful at night, was even more stunning by day. Trimmed shrubs, neat greenery, and sparkling fountains under the sun made one forget the post-cataclysm world.

No matter the world or era, the life of the upper class was always luxurious.

“Qiu Tu?”

While Qiu Tu was secretly admiring the garden, he heard Fang Ming's voice.

Looking up, Qiu Tu saw Fang Ming leading a girl out.

The girl, about fifteen or sixteen, had red, yellow, and blue paint on her face. Her eyes were fierce and slightly childish, like a wolf cub ready to bite.

Qiu Tu glanced at the girl and asked, "What did she do to need Special Operations Division agent to escort her?"

Fang Ming sighed, "She’s a black-market pharmacist caught in Xiafang Street yesterday. The higher-ups are serious about her, so we were ordered to escort her for interrogation."

"Now that it's done, we're taking her away".
