“After assuming the new position, will I still be able to oversee the evolution progress of Earth No. 1818?” Li Xiaofei asked calmly.
Li Sheng shook his head and replied, “Your patrol jurisdiction will cover base planets numbered from 90,000 to 100,000. Obviously, No. 1818 does not fall within that range. So you’ll need to step down from your current post before taking up the new one.”
As soon as Li Xiaofei heard that, he understood instantly.
Damn it. This isn’t a promotion. This is clearly a move to snatch the fruits of my labor.
“I’ll think it over,” Li Xiaofei replied, neither agreeing nor refusing, choosing instead to stall for time.
Li Sheng patted his shoulder, speaking with a tone of earnest sincerity, “Don’t miss this opportunity. The City Lord holds you in high regard. Your future has no limits.”
“I understand,” Li Xiaofei said before turning to walk away.
Li Sheng watched his back recede with a grave expression. After a long moment, he let out a soft sigh.

He had made his decision, he wanted it all. He would take the Inspector position. He would accept the promotion to Mid-Tier Reliant. And he would keep control over Earth No. 1818.
“Don’t worry, big bro. I’ll sort everything out for you, clean and smooth,” came Song Shiyan’s thunderous voice over the phone, brimming with confidence.
