Lightning Is the Only Way

The manager seethed with rage.

And then, he released all that rage…

In a long sigh.

"I apologize," he said. "I shouldn't have done that."

Was Gravis surprised by that reaction?

No.

Why not?

Because this guy was an extremely powerful Cultivator. Everyone that managed to reach such a high Realm couldn't be unreasonable.

It was essentially impossible to find a narrow-minded person at such levels. All the narrow-minded people had died before reaching such a Realm.

Reaching such power required a mindset that allowed someone to reach supreme power. Being unreasonable and angering everyone around them would quickly end up in the death of the Cultivator. Luck would only carry someone so far.

Yet, there was one exception.

The Opposer.

"You think that apology makes everything okay?"

It wasn't Gravis that said that.

SHING!

Someone appeared behind the manager, and the new arrival was familiar to Gravis.

It was the Chief Inspector that had been present when Gravis had undergone his test.

The manager groaned. "Fine. How long?" he asked.

"10,000 years," the Chief Inspector said.

The manager blinked in surprise. "That's actually not that bad," he said with confused happiness.

"Yes, because you already gave him a lot of Energy," the Chief Inspector said. "If you hadn't, you would get 250,000 years. I watched him since I'm interested in him, which means that I would have noticed that transgression regardless. You can count yourself lucky that he has such a unique way of defending his Spirit Space. You barely lost 200 years of Energy, but that saved you from 240,000 years of punishment."

The manager took another deep breath and sighed. "Yes, I'm sorry. I'll watch my conduct in the future."

I hope, this time, you actually mean what you say," the Chief Inspector said. Then,
