Chapter 1027: Section 658: Love from the Past (Part 5)
"Zem Meyer is back." With exhaustion all over him, Zem returned to the headquarters of the National Security Bureau. After passing the guard’s inspection, he walked through the gates, removed his hat, and greeted the elderly lady behind the counter.
"Mr. Zem, welcome back. Where is your adorable little companion?" The elderly lady adjusted the tiny round glasses perched on her nose.
"Jiaxi? His family sent him off on a matchmaking date." At the mention of his old friend, Zem couldn’t help but feel the deepest regret—back in the day, Jiaxi always claimed he was human, while Zem was constantly reduced to being labeled a non-human because of his half-blood identity.

Is this what these modern women call equality? Such stubbornness, really.
Zem sighed and approached the counter again. "Madam, is there any new assignment?"
