#727 - Mobilizing national power

Yang Le didn't need his X-ray vision to see the impatience on the faces of the three people opposite him, which reminded him of his voluntary overtime days.

"Knock knock."

Fortunately, Zheng Xian didn't keep everyone waiting too long; he knocked and entered after only a few minutes.

"I'm sorry, it's routine. I need to report to the higher-ups every once in a while, so thank you for waiting so long."

Zheng Xian apologized to Yang Le and the others as soon as he came in. Yang Le naturally didn't mind, and the three members of the Sanhuang Team, being wage earners, also said they didn't care.

Looking at his children with a slightly apologetic gaze, Zheng Xian decided to give Ji Shuangshuang and the others a few days off after today. Although it wasn't in accordance with the rules, he couldn't keep exploiting these kids. The Shenmao Bureau was a large organization and could find a few people to cover for a few days.

"Alright, Mr. Yang," Zheng Xian pulled up a chair and sat down. "Now, can we talk about you?"

"I am just a superhuman who happens to know many things," Yang Le waved his hand. "I am not important; what's important is what I'm about to say."

Zheng Xian straightened his posture and held out a hand, signaling Yang Le to continue. He was listening.

"Some time ago, my companion and I caught a spy in America."

"A spy? What does a spy in America have to do with us? Ouch!"

Acheng, who had been impatient for some time, couldn't help but jump out as soon as he heard Yang Le's words. However, he was immediately smacked on the head by Ji Shuangshuang, who was next to him.

"Shut up and keep listening," Ji Shuangshuang glared at Acheng. "The leader is here; it's not our turn to interrupt."

Acheng smacked his lips. Considering the difference in strength between himself and Ji Shuangshuang, and the reasonableness of her words, he immediately decided to lower his head and stop talking, listening obediently.

Li Lie could only laugh awkwardly on the side, which made Ji Shuangshuang sigh. She missed the days when she worked with Senior Lei Ling more and more. Who wouldn't want a steady senior to lead them through missions?

Ji Shuangshuang was originally very happy about becoming the captain of a team. People always strive for higher positions, and no one doesn't want to climb up.

Ji Shuangshuang wasn't obsessed with officialdom; she just wanted to prove her ability and realize her value, and both of these things undoubtedly required a certain position to achieve.

However, after Ji Shuangshuang met her two teammates, she increasingly felt that she might have agreed too quickly. Acheng and Lin Lie were not people who made things easy.

The hard work after becoming the captain made Ji Shuangshuang even feel like she was going to get wrinkles.

"Sorry for the embarrassment," Zheng Xian retracted his gaze and smiled apologetically at Yang Le.

"It's okay, kids are impatient; I understand," Yang Le didn't care much and began his story.

"Just like Acheng said, if it was an ordinary spy from an enemy country, there would naturally be no need to worry, and I wouldn't even bother to care. But this spy is not from any country on Earth; he is a dark elf from Svartalfheim."

Zheng Xian opened his eyes, obviously realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Is the information reliable?" Zheng Xian rarely became serious, which surprised Lin Lie and Acheng, who had just joined the Shenmao Bureau.

They had never seen their boss so dignified before. Zheng Xian had always been a friendly person. Although everyone respected him, they had never seen him so imposing.

"Absolutely reliable," Yang Le nodded. "If you don't believe me, I can even hand over the spy to you. I believe Mr. Zheng also knows that the reason I came here this time is because of this spy."

"After capturing this spy, I forced him to reveal the location of his superior, and then I found a perplexing piece of information. But then I went to Asgard and learned this shocking secret from the God-King Odin."

Yang Le then told everyone present what he knew. He reduced his own contributions to prevent others from detecting his prescience, emphasizing the importance of Odin, and omitting the secrets of Asgard.

Asgard might cooperate with the Shenmao Bureau in the future. It wouldn't be good if Thor learned about the prophecy from them. It's better to let Odin tell Thor himself; Yang Le shouldn't get too involved in family dramas.

Family matters are complicated and messy; getting involved in family affairs will only make things more complex.

Zheng Xian's brow furrowed more and more as Yang Le spoke. Even the Sanhuang Team next to him could tell the importance of the issue, even Acheng and Lin Lie, who didn't know about Svartalfheim.

They simply sensed the change in atmosphere. After all, even Zheng Xian, who always smiled and seemed to have everything under control, was so serious, which meant the incident was indeed a big deal.

Zheng Xian pondered for a moment, then stood up and said to Yang Le, "This matter has a huge impact. I need to report it to the higher-ups, and if possible, please arrange for the dark elf spy to be transferred to us as soon as possible."

"I believe you are not joking with me, Mr. Yang," Zheng Xian looked at Yang Le with a deep gaze. "Although today is our first meeting, I believe I have some ability to judge people. I believe you are not the kind of person who speaks carelessly."

Yang Le swayed his body. It felt good to be trusted.

"But I need leverage to negotiate with the higher-level leaders. I can't just rely on my words to mobilize the national power. I, Zheng Xian, don't have that much influence."

"I know," Yang Le nodded. "I will arrange for my teammates to send the spy over as soon as possible. I believe you will see him tomorrow."

"Thank you for your cooperation," Zheng Xian extended his right hand, this time even more solemnly than before.

"If this matter is true, then you are a great hero who saved the Earth."

"You're welcome; I'm just doing what a human should do," Yang Le shook hands with Zheng Xian.

After the two released their hands, Zheng Xian immediately called his deputy and handed over the full responsibility of the Shenmao Bureau to him before hurriedly leaving, without even having time for lunch.

"Mr. Yang," the deputy walked to Yang Le's side. Although he didn't know what had happened, the fact that Zheng Xian showed such an expression meant the problem was serious, which made him realize the severity of the issue.

"Director Zheng has already instructed me; you can tell me directly if you need anything."

"No need to be so serious," Yang Le waved his hand. "I will contact my teammates later. Please help me prepare lunch; I'm a little hungry."

"I will have someone bring the communication device immediately," the deputy nodded. "Inside the Circle Fortress, general communication devices are ineffective."

"No need," Yang Le waved his hand. "I can use my own."

As he spoke, he opened his shirt to reveal the Omnitrix symbol.
