Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Deep into the night, lights were still on in the office of the Commander-in-Chief at the headquarters of the Security Bureau. The Commander-in-Chief was currently seated behind his desk by the window, on one hand, browsing through intel of varying encryption levels within the security bureau's intranet; on the other, collecting various pieces of information from the internet to cross-reference. As it involved X-class secrets, he dared not entrust this task to secretaries or assistants, and had to take matters into his own hands. A moment later, the Commander-in-Chief suddenly let out a contemplative murmur, "Lin Rui and Lin Hao?" He sat back in his chair, his hands crossed and eyes closed, leaning against the backrest. The Commander-in-Chief could now be almost certain that these two were the same person! That promising officer from the Great Song's Imperial Spy Command, was actually the rising martial arts star in the Federation's Ninth Base City, Lin Rui. It was because there were just too many traces to be found in the Security Bureau's intel repository and online. For instance, the data on Lin Rui within the Exotic Management Bureau left behind plenty of traces. He saw from the internal programs of the Exotic Management Bureau that Lin Rui's exotic bio data clearly bore signs of tampering. And the Silver Coins sold through the Exotic Management Bureau by Lin Rui, his ties with Han Kedao and others, and Xue Lingxue's exotic forces team - to the discerning eye, each of these was further corroboration. The Commander-in-Chief hadn't found conclusive evidence, but who needed evidence for such matters? A suspicion was enough. Of course, he could find this intel because he was the Commander-in-Chief, possessing the highest level of clearance in the Federal Security Bureau! Zhou Yunfei had actually done a great job, maximizing his authority to its limits. The issue was that Zhou Yunfei's own clearance level was only SSS, and without the freedom to use the authority of the Deputy Commander, he inevitably left behind loose ends. Just at this moment, the Commander-in-Chief received another piece of intelligence. The encryption level of this intel was not high, but it had the highest communication priority, popping up directly in his field of vision. This was information that the Security Bureau's Intel Center determined must be known to all majors-general and above within the bureau. "The Divine Dragon Slayer Saber?" The Commander-in-Chief's complexion involuntarily twitched slightly as he turned to look at the large glass pane on his left. Through that specially made glass, he gazed at the massive volume of the Extreme Pole Star outside, his expression exceedingly complex. Could that child possibly become the greatest Divine Envoy of the Great Song in the future? Second only to two others in the East Continent, above billions? The Commander-in-Chief then began to operate swiftly using the top-tier supercomputer in his room. This Commander, in addition to holding a 9SSS rank in exotic martial arts, also possessed impressive hacking skills. Using his highest level of clearance, he began to erase and modify traces left by Lin Rui online one by one, seeking to remove all connections between the two identities. For instance, Xue Lingxue's exotic special forces team, the Commander-in-Chief needed to ensure that this team had no overt connections with the Security Bureau. This not only required him to issue some administrative orders within the Security Bureau but also to modify the records of these exotic special forces, erasing some data from the internet. Meanwhile, he sent a message to Zhou Yunfei, "Yunfei, you should be aware of the recent Lu Family Estate case that erupted in the Great Song Dynasty, right?" Zhou Yunfei was examining Lin Rui's situation. He was originally in meditation but received a popup message from the intel center. Zhou Yunfei was utterly shocked, having never imagined that within just six hours of obtaining the Divine Merit Order, Lin Rui had actually obtained the Divine Dragon Slayer Saber as well! What exactly happened during this time, and how did Lin Rui manage to do it? Upon seeing the information sent by the First Marshal, Zhou Yunfei's scalp went numb with an ominous premonition. Zhou Yunfei: Yes, Marshal, since this case involves a large number of missing citizens from our Ninth Base City, our Ninth Division has also been paying attention to this matter. First Marshal: Very good! Yunfei, I'm entrusting you with a task. According to the latest intelligence, the power behind Luojia Manor is a branch of the Longevity Society. Besides Luojia Manor, they also control several biotech experiment bases and are involved in smuggling government-regulated goods as well as drug production and trafficking. First Marshal: Your Ninth Division's Third Special Operations Science Department has started a project around Lin Hao, haven't you? Can you get Lin Hao to focus on investigating this? It would be best if he could eradicate and destroy them! Also, investigate what their specific experimental projects are, as well as the progress of these projects. It's best if you can obtain their various bio-experiment data. First Marshal: Furthermore, which forces within the Great Song territory are in cahoots with Longevity Society? What are their objectives? You must sever all connections between them and purgatory with full force. Zhou Yunfei couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. He knew that the First Marshal was aware of Lin Hao's identity, but had simply not pointed it out directly. However, Zhou Yunfei knew this was only a matter of time. Lin Hao's affairs could be concealed from anyone within the federal system, but not from the head of the Federal Security Bureau. In fact, this was actually a good thing for Lin Rui and them. With the First Marshal's cover, the risk of Lin Rui's identity being exposed was significantly reduced. Zhou Yunfei: Lord Marshal, these issues are not big, but the Longevity Society is currently one of the most powerful and mysterious organizations within the Earth Federation. They not only have a tight organizational structure but also many genetically enhanced Martial Artists. We are lacking in both strength and authority. First Marshal: Don't worry about that aspect. Considering the frequent accomplishments of your Third Special Operations Science Department since its establishment, the rampant growth of the Longevity Society within the Federation, and the resurgence of the Divine Envoy Society, shouldn't you submit an application to the Second Marshal? Propose to reorganize the Third Special Operations Science Department into the 'National Security Special Operations Center' and gather elite personnel to bolster it! First Marshal: The National Security Special Operations Center, besides its original responsibilities, will also be in charge of special investigations and actions against Longevity Society and Divine Envoy Society. Zhou Yunfei was shocked: Lord Marshal, isn't this inappropriate? You must know the current state of the Second Marshal; the Homeland Security Committee will certainly question this, and there are also funding issues. The emergency budget controlled by the Second Marshal is already limited. First Marshal: This is my order! You can keep it to use against any future allegations and inquiries. First Marshal: I will handle the Homeland Security Committee, and you don't need to worry about the funds, the relevant budget will be managed from headquarters. He had no intention of making Zhou Yunfei take the blame, but merely considered that an executive order signed by him would be too conspicuous. Given that the Second Marshal was currently in hibernation, he was actually a suitable shield. The special operations center was currently just a fourth-level unit, still within the scope of the Second Marshal's responsibility. Only when it was upgraded to level five would it need to go through the Homeland Security Committee's procedures. As for the money, it could be drawn from the special task force dealing with Lin Hao. The council had already allocated 30 billion federal dollars to the special Lin Hao task force, 27 billion of which were still unspent and idle in their hands. The four Type-7 Red Spider combat robots that were supposed to be transferred could also be redirected there. Currently, the main focus of the special Lin Hao task force is on observation and surveillance, and they have yet to assign a responsible person, so it's not needed for the time being. First Marshal: Also, since that Thunder General took office, he has been diligent, cracking major cases one after another. Why haven't I seen your commendation report? Send one later, and have the Second Marshal promote him. First Marshal: That's enough for today. Zhou Yunfei looked at the messages sent by the First Marshal and pondered for a long time before he finally started writing the report as instructed by the First Marshal. He then emitted some exclamations of surprise, his gaze filled with astonishment as he looked at the interface before him. Zhou Yunfei discovered that the information on 'Thunder' General had been made public. This general had an impressive track record and had served in the military. However, his face and body were burned by abyssal concepts during a battle with the Guang Ming Holy Church, and with the current biotech, it was impossible to repair. He could only appear in public with a mask and exoskeletal armor. But this information was just a superficial disguise; only those with sufficient authority could see 'Thunder' General's true data and thus know his identity — 'Lin Rui'!
