Once, I wanted to be a good person

The commissioner was broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, with an upper body shaped like an inverted triangle, his muscles bulging and straining his clothes as if they might burst at any moment.

When he spoke, his voice was resonant and loud.

Therefore, as soon as he began to speak mockingly, commissioners in many rooms in the corridor heard him instantly.

Some people, not knowing what had happened, curiously turned their heads to look, and saw three people in the midst of a conflict.

When they noticed Fang Ze among them, those who initially did not care suddenly got excited, hurriedly whispering to the people next to them.

Thus, within just over a dozen seconds, almost everyone on the floor knew about it.

Many people either sneaked looks from their doorways, stood in the corridors to watch, or... used their Awakening Abilities to peek secretly.

And when they saw that the person giving Fang Ze trouble was the muscular commissioner, they all felt... it was somewhat understandable.

Because the muscular man, known as Kai Shi, was actually quite famous in the Security Bureau as a high-ranking Awakener with a notoriously explosive temper.

Before Fang Ze arrived, he was known as the first troublemaker in the Security Bureau.

His Awakening Ability was Petrification. However, it wasn't the kind of petrification that turned his enemies to stone, but one that turned his body into a rock-like state.

He made his body impervious to pain, significantly enhancing his defensive power and allowing him to absorb surrounding rocks to further increase his defensive power and speed up his recovery.

Unless someone could break his defense in one strike, it was almost impossible to injure him.

More importantly, he was also among the Martial Combat faction in the Security Bureau. He had early on elevated his Martial Arts Cultivation to the Skin Tempering level, which further enhanced his defensive and offensive powers.

Therefore, among the regular commissioners in the Security Bureau, there weren't many who wanted to confront him.

He was not only tough to beat but also tough to handle.

Regrettably, his temper was volatile, and he liked to pick fights, whether justified or not.

Thus, while the bureau recognized his strength, they didn't like him much.

Seeing this dim-witted guy getting annoyed with Fang Ze and instigating trouble brought the two nuisances together, and everyone was ready to watch the drama unfold.

At this moment, Fang Ze, looking at the muscular man in front of him, was not as simple-minded as others thought.

A person with a simple mind and quick to anger would wait in the corridor after the meeting specifically to block him and provoke a fight?

If Fang Ze hadn't encountered today's difficulties and had not been informed by Bai Ling, he might have thought it possible.

But now, with so many preceding hints,

Fang Ze was extremely suspicious that the man before him was here to provoke and test him deliberately.

If it were a simple-minded "righter of wrongs," Fang Ze would likely have let it pass.

But... since it was someone stirring trouble, Fang Ze would not let it slide.

It was a good opportunity for him to set an example.

Otherwise, the entire Security Bureau might really take him for a pushover.

While Fang Ze was thinking this, Bai Ling couldn't hold back any longer.

Seeing Fang Ze get bumped and bullied, she immediately became furious and wanted to fight Kai Shi desperately.

From the impact, Fang Ze had generally gauged Kai Shi's strength, which seemed beyond Bai Ling's weak capabilities.

So Fang Ze quickly regained his composure, grabbed her, and then spoke softly, "Chief Bai Ling, don't be angry."

"I'm fine."

"Everyone is a colleague; it's inevitable to have some friction."

Hearing Fang Ze's words and seeing his conciliatory attitude, despite being bullied, both the crowd and the arrogant Kai Shi, who had bumped into someone and was starting trouble, felt a bit of contempt.

Although the commissioners of the Security Bureau weren't soldiers, since they often went on field missions to capture Transcendent criminals, they had a certain boldness.

Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to openly defy a senior officer in silence under the presence of superior leaders.

Thus, facing someone with a weak character who dared not own up to issues, they only felt more disdain.

While everyone thought this, Bai Ling certainly did not feel the same.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She knew Fang Ze always repaid any provocation doubly! Stay updated through empire

Thus, she looked at Fang Ze with a puzzled face, wanting to ask him what was going on.

But at that moment, Fang Ze spoke again.

He said, "However, when encountering friction, we shouldn't argue or debate."

"It's pointless."

"With friction, just fight directly!"

As he spoke, without even looking, Fang Ze suddenly raised his hand, a dagger appeared, gathered with terrifying Power of Laws, and then he fiercely threw it at Kai Shi!

In that instant, Kai Shi felt immense danger approaching. Before he could react, his Awakening Ability's defensive mechanism was triggered, turning his body into chunks of rock!

Then, there was a loud "boom"!

The dagger whizzed past Kai Shi's ear, going through the corridor and directly shattering half of a wall!

The entire corridor, filled with onlookers, fell dead silent.

They looked at Fang Ze in horror, then at the shattered wall, and broke out in a cold sweat!

This was no ordinary wall; it was a Security Bureau wall!

Since it was made to detain Awakener criminals and because the bureau was filled with Awakeners, the walls and floors of the Security Bureau were constructed from special Transcendent waste mixed with fragments of Law Prohibition, stones, and others.

These walls had the ability to absorb most impact forces and the Power of Laws!
