The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 2534  New Boss of the Law Enforcement Hall (1)

After Otis entered the Records Hall of the Law Enforcement Hall, the current head of this regulatory force gave Minos a sharp look before leaving the area without saying anything.

Shortly after, several Law Enforcers approached Minos to extend their congratulations on his well-deserved promotion to the esteemed position of Intermediate Officer.

Most of them had nothing against Minos, although they weren't friends either. But after witnessing his challenge and knowing how capable he was, some of them already considered Minos to be the future head of the Law Enforcement Hall.

It's wiser to maintain a cool demeanor and establish a good rapport with Minos at this moment rather than waiting for him to formalize his position.

"Congratulations, Officer Minos. Anything you need, you can ask me, and I'll do my best to make your journey as a hall supervisor as easy as possible," said one of the first aliens who greeted Minos.

"That guy won't cause you any problems in the future, Officer Minos. But you'd better watch out for his men. The Jade Chainsaws are heavily embedded in the hall."

"I hope you have a good start in leadership..."

After greeting a dozen high-ranking Sovereigns and receiving nods from some men working in the area, Minos saw Maximillian take his place and approach him.

"Congratulations on becoming an Intermediate Officer. I'm sure you'll reach the rank of Senior Officer soon." Maximillian said as he shook Minos' hand, a smile on his lips that seemed sincere.

Minos looked deep into the eyes of the black-haired man in front of him, a curious expression forming on his face. "Maximilian, how are your merit points? Do you expect to advance to the next rank?"

Minos' sudden interest in him surprised Maximilian. For a moment, he wondered if the man in front of him would forgive him or at least take him back into the group.

"Merit points are not a problem. The problem is that I don't have the same strength as you. I'm afraid I won't be able to compete with many of those who are interested in becoming Senior Officers." He said as he walked alongside Minos and Otis, seeing the brown-haired young man signal for him to follow him out of the building.

Minos paused when he reached the entrance to the hall building, seeing the entrance stairs and also the main street of the downtown area.

From this position, he suggested to Maximilian. "If you're willing to help me with something, I'll facilitate your promotion to Senior Officer."

Maximillian looked seriously at Minos, the normally hardly visible wrinkles around his dark eyes deepening. "What do you want?"

Otis also looked at Minos, curious about what his master had in mind.

Minos opened his mouth and said. "It should be no secret to you I've had a few encounters with Artaud... But his death won't make the Jade Chainsaws stop bothering me."

"Hmm, certainly. As long as they don't know how you did it and realize they can't stand against you, they won't give up."

"For that, I want you to help me. You don't have to make a deal with me or anything. All you have to do is get close to the Jade Chainsaws and help me counterattack them before they even take their next steps.

Don't get directly involved in their actions, and when things settle down, I'll help you get promoted to Senior Officer."

Maximilian looked down reflexively. 'Minos' influence is enough to make all the high-ranking Sovereigns of the inner city postpone their promotions to Senior Officer. That would certainly help me rise quickly in rank.

If I don't have to sign an agreement with him, I can sign an agreement with the Jade Chainsaws and pretend to be their de facto enemy...'. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

This was the only point that worried Maximilian.

"That... "I'm not sure if this is a test. You know, they'll probably try to make me sign something for me to commit to them."

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for you to act in a way that harms me. Just make sure you can give me the information I need so that I'm aware of the enemy's plans in time to act. Also, make sure you don't have to be directly involved in actions against my family. That's the only way I won't harm you."

Maximilian narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists in uncertainty. The risks would be great, but he thought it was possible to sign an agreement with the Jade Chainsaws that would meet Minos' demands.

"I'll try my best, but I can't promise that I'll succeed... Maybe I will, because they must be desperate right now. But I can't promise anything."

Minos nodded to the man, instructing him to do whatever was necessary.

As Maximillian left, Otis looked at his master, who was still admiring the view from the entrance to the hall, and couldn't help but ask. "Could you tell me why that is? I thought you didn't trust him anymore."

"And I don't. This is an opportunity for us to kill two birds with one stone."

"Oh?"

"I wonder if Maximilian knows about the war about to start? The Senior Officers of the guild will have to work hard for the next few years." Minos left the hall, while the big robot understood his master's intentions.

Minos made his way to the Missions Hall in silence, curious to see what would be available to him from now on. He intended to spend some time in the guild before leaving the headquarters again, but he wanted to start his plans now.

As he made his way through the guild's inner area, the current Law Enforcement Hall supervisor made his way to his faction's headquarters.

When he arrived, he opened his mouth and shouted to his fellow leaders.

"Minos Stuart has been promoted to Intermediate Officer and has challenged me to take my place as supervisor of the Law Enforcement Hall!"

When he spoke to the six high-ranking Sovereigns in the leadership room, all the worried faction members dealing with the Minos issue stopped their conversations. They turned their attention to the issue at hand.

"What?" The faction leader and heir to Jembei stood up in surprise.

"I'm not entering the challenge arena with Minos. I'm here to tell you I'll be stepping down from my position at the end of my shift in six days!" The man got straight to the point, not wanting to risk any awkwardness with Minos.
