Once, I wanted to be a good person

Chapter 212 30. Tremors in the State! (10,000-word chapter begging for monthly passes!)_2

The middle-aged man Jiang Cheng, upon seeing this, did not mind. He raised his head with a smile that was not quite a smile and looked at the Security Bureau's gate. He then said to Bai Zhi, "Let's go. This is my first time visiting the Emerald City Security Bureau in this capacity."

After that, he walked into the Security Bureau like he owned the place, leading the way with measured steps.

The numerous Commissioners at the Security Bureau had just been surprised by Qianfeng's arrival, and now seeing Jiang Cheng enter, they looked over once again and started to talk amongst themselves.

"They really brought Commissioner Jiang in."

"This is really blowing up into a big issue."

"The Jiang Family is noble. But Director Bai is also a noble. Who knows what will happen when they meet."

"Yeah, indeed."

While everyone was chatting, Fang Ze, who was upstairs, also saw this scene.

He pointed at the arrogantly sauntering Jiang Cheng and asked Bai Ling, "Who's that guy? Why so arrogant?"

Bai Ling glanced at him and said softly, "That's Jiang Cheng."

Fang Ze let out an "Oh" and said, "So that's Jiang Cheng. Seems even more arrogant than me."

"He acts like he's at the Security Bureau on vacation."

"Are they going to prepare a suite for him and arrange a few servants to wait on him?"

Bai Ling gave him a look and nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course."

She then looked at Fang Ze, puzzled, and said, "What? You didn't know?"

"Aside from the crime of treason, nobles have their sentences reduced two levels for any other crime they commit. Plus, they receive special treatment while in custody and during interrogation."

"And only the Noble Court of the nine major jurisdictions has the authority to judge and punish them."

Fang Ze: ???

Fang Ze's face was full of confusion.

"Is it that good?"

Fang Ze's hand, hard to the touch, felt as if it was covered with a thick layer of refined steel.

Bai Zhi was shocked for a moment, then looked at Fang Ze with a surprised face, "Skin... Skin Tempering?"

Fang Ze smiled and nodded.

Bai Ling, watching this, had a look of amusement as she glanced back and forth between Fang Ze and Bai Zhi.

It was clear that seeing Bai Zhi as shocked as she had been made her feel like her own initial surprise wasn't so foolish.

But Bai Zhi didn't notice Bai Ling's gaze.

At this moment, her heart was entirely on Fang Ze.

She couldn't help but stretch out her other hand, examining Fang Ze's condition together. To her amazement, Fang Ze had indeed reached the Skin Tempering realm!

She suppressed her surprise and commented with a neutral tone, "Your progress is good. Then your Awakening Ability must have reached the higher levels by now, right?"

At Bai Zhi's words, Fang Ze felt a bit embarrassed.

He said, "It's just a bit short."

Bai Zhi looked puzzled, "A bit short?"

Fang Ze nodded, "Yes. I've just advanced to the middle level."

Hearing what Fang Ze said, even though Bai Zhi was doing her best to suppress her astonishment, waves of shock still surged within her!

She had known that Fang Ze's Awakening Ability was very strong.

But she thought it would be quite similar to her own.

After all, she had been able to kill Fusers even when she was just a beginner Awakener.

But... she had truly not expected that Fang Ze's Awakening Ability would only break through to the middle level after he had reached Skin Tempering?

When did she make her breakthrough? Bai Zhi thought for a moment...

It seemed that she had become a middle-level Awakener after she had developed five tendons, reaching Tendon Tempering Perfection, right?

And at that time, her Awakening Ability was hailed by her family as one of the most potent powers seen in decades.
