"Greetings, Lord Linghu!" Within the General Affairs Department, the five deacons from the Criminal Tribunal were the first to arrive. These five deacons were all from the Duke Realm, each with a formidable aura and a look of cold arrogance. Among these five, only the leader clasped his hands and bowed to Yusuf Zuck. The other four merely glanced at him, just a single glance, then swaggered over to sit down. Yusuf Zuck frowned slightly. He was the leader of this mission, and theoretically, as long as nothing went wrong, these people were supposed to listen to him. Yet, they seemed to completely disregard him. Yusuf Zuck knew they looked down on him, didn’t consider him worth noticing. "Heh, let’s head out once everyone from the Chosen-heaven Class arrives!" Yusuf Zuck couldn’t be bothered to ask for their names. That’s how he was; if you showed him respect, he’d return it tenfold. If not, he couldn’t care less! ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ N0veI.Fiɾe.net The five all sat down quietly without talking, each closing their eyes to meditate. A moment later, another five people walked into the General Affairs Department. The women were dressed plainly, not in student attire. As soon as they entered, their gazes fixed on Yusuf Zuck. "Deputy General Manager, can we depart now?" They were even more overbearing, not even bothering with greetings, their noses arrogantly facing the sky! However, the five deacons stood up, engaging these five from the Chosen-heaven Class, seeming quite familiar, chatting and laughing in whispers! Standing behind Yusuf Zuck were four from the General Affairs Department. Their cultivation levels weren’t high, but they were skilled, the elite in handling the department’s affairs. They were also annoyed, because by rank, everyone should be saluting the Deputy General Manager. Yet, they barely gave Yusuf Zuck a glance, a clear disrespect to Yusuf Zuck and a rudeness to the department! "Let’s go!" Yusuf Zuck said nothing further, striding out. "Hmph!" Behind him, the four people were two men and two women. One man was named Huo Er, surname Huo, and the other was Kanon Meskill. The women were sisters, both surnamed O’Brien, one named Miriam O’brien, and the other Elliana O’brien. Their cultivation levels were all the same, late Divine King, a level lower than Yusuf Zuck! The group exited the outer courtyard and the mountain gate, where a Flying Treasure Ship awaited them outside. The Jade Simple to control the ship was in Yusuf Zuck’s hand, essentially the key to start it, controlling flight speed, defense levels, etc. Once everyone boarded, Yusuf Zuck directly activated the ship, quickly departing! The five from both the Chosen-heaven Class and Criminal Tribunal didn’t even bother with greetings as they each found rooms to retreat into. "Linghu, they’re really over the line!" "Yes, sir. They treat our General Affairs Department like nothing!" "They clearly look down on us!" "Hmph, looking down on people!" As Huo Er and the O’Brien sisters gathered around Yusuf Zuck, some addressed him as Linghu, others as sir. They were very familiar with Yusuf Zuck, as he used to help them work. It’s just that his promotion was too rapid, so they didn’t regard him as an outsider! "No need to be angry. They’re all high-level experts. Looking down on us is normal. Let’s just do our job and ignore them!" Yusuf Zuck said with a faint smile. "It just feels like they’re so self-conceited!" Elliana O’brien complained, "It’s nothing for us, but it’s different for you, Linghu!" "Heh, I don’t mind." Yusuf Zuck smiled and shook his head, unwilling to stoop to their level. Huo Er and Elliana O’brien were fuming as they sat on the deck, unsure what to do with themselves. This mission felt frustrating, traveling with such arrogant people was infuriating! Yusuf Zuck indeed paid it no mind and stood at the forefront of the deck, gazing into the emptiness of the Divine Dynasty’s skies! The morning passed quickly. The divine ship traveled at great speed, and they no longer knew how far they were from Yangming Mountain, heading continuously to the Northeast. At noon, a man from the Criminal Tribunal and a woman from the Chosen-heaven Class each emerged! "Did you make any meals?" The two looked around angrily as soon as they appeared. "Make what meals?" Elliana O’brien stood up and said, "You didn’t bring your own provisions?" "Bring what provisions? We’re hungry; you need to cook immediately. Don’t you know you’ll starve without food on such a long voyage? What’s wrong with your General Affairs Department? Even meals aren’t arranged!" The woman from the Chosen-heaven Class angrily said, "Do you want to starve us?" It seemed she thought she was in the right! "That’s right, isn’t your General Affairs Department in charge of logistics? Hurry up and cook. We’ll come out to eat later!" The male deacon from the Criminal Tribunal coldly sneered before returning to the cabin, the woman also coldly snorted and followed back in! "Sir, what do we do?" Huo Er and others were furious. What kind of people are these? Not bringing your provisions on a journey, how do you expect us to cook on this divine ship! "Prepare the food. There’s a kitchen on the divine ship, with provisions!" Yusuf Zuck turned around with a smile. "What? Sir... really cook for them? We..." The people from the General Affairs Department, in truth, all had significant backgrounds themselves. Who would lack connections to get into such a lucrative department? So, to serve others, how could they agree? "Cook for ourselves, just enough for us. I have some meat here, let’s cook it altogether!" Yusuf Zuck took out a piece of preserved meat from his ring, which he bought in the Lower Realm while with Kenji May! "Yay!" Upon hearing they’re only cooking for themselves, Miriam O’brien and Elliana O’brien almost jumped up in joy. Now this felt right, cooking for others? Why should they? The sisters rushed into the kitchen, while Huo Er whispered, "Sir, what if they come out looking for trouble later?" "Then toss them overboard!" Yusuf Zuck laughed. "What?" Huo Er and Kanon Meskill were stunned. Toss them overboard? These people are from the Duke Realm, several are beyond Grade One Dukes, stronger than those Grade One Dukes from the dynasty! "No worries, with me here, you won’t be bullied!" Yusuf Zuck assured. In just half an hour, the O’Brien sisters brought a large bowl of rice along with cooked meat and vegetables onto the deck, and the five sat down to eat together! "Let’s have a drink!" Yusuf Zuck produced a jar of wine. "Sir, we’re on duty, not allowed to drink." Huo Er softly reminded. Yusuf Zuck glared: "Am I the sir or are you? Drink up, all of you, drink and then find your rooms to rest!" "Understood, hehe!" The four laughed happily, not minding the grime of others, taking swigs in turns from the jar. And just as they were eating and drinking, all ten from the Criminal Tribunal and the Chosen-heaven Class emerged from the hull. Originally, they came out in laughter, but seeing Yusuf Zuck and the others eating and drinking with no extra bowls or chopsticks, all ten fumed! "What’s the situation?" "There’s nothing left in the kitchen!" All ten’s eyes flared, striding towards Yusuf Zuck’s group! Huo Er and others wanted to stand, but Yusuf Zuck pulled them back. "Lord Linghu, where’s our lunch?" demanded the leader of the Chosen-heaven Class! Yusuf Zuck took a swig of wine, wiped his mouth, and raised his eyelids: "You’re neither my son nor my grandson, why ask me for food?" "Pfft~" Huo Er and others almost spat their food, shocked at how fiercely spirited this Lord Linghu was, now this was something!
