Chapter 700: Taking Full Control of X Bureau

The people at X Bureau were stunned for a moment, then erupted in chaos.

"What does this mean? Investigate us? What crimes have we committed?"

"Who are these people? Don't they know what X Bureau is?"

"Look at their combat uniforms, I've never seen those before. Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Linden had never seen Ruud's face before, but just from his demeanor, he guessed right away-this was the legendary General Praevion of their nation. However, he couldn't fathom why General Praevion would stage such a scene. After a brief silence, Linden stepped forward and saluted, "General Praevion!"

Ruud's dark eyes swept over him, his voice deep, "You are the Chief of Ashbury Subdivision, Linden?" His pace was unhurried, yet Linden felt an unprecedented pressure. Unconsciously, his back was soaked with sweat. Suppressing the internal pressure, he responded, "Yes."

General Ruud, a title personally bestowed by the nation's top leaders, answered to no department, only to the highest authority. In any department across the nation, the presence of General Praevion commanded a salute.

"Do you think you're fulfilling your duties as chief?" Ruud asked hurriedly, his imposing aura not diminishing, even heavier than before. Linden felt almost breathless under this intangible oppression, but after a moment, he looked up seriously and said, "I believe I am very diligent!"

"Diligent?" Ruud scoffed, "Out of thirty combat members in X Bureau, fifteen have exploited their power for personal gain. You call that diligent?" He took a step forward, stopping just a step away from Linden. His eagle-like eyes stared intently at Linden as if trying to see through him.

Linden's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately countered, "How is that possible? I might not know about others, but the people under my supervision in Ashbury Subdivision are definitely clean."
