Pingliang Central Office Building.
Top floor.
Pingliang Director sat on a rocking chair, gazing through the floor-to-ceiling windows with a view that seemed to encompass much of the Sanctuary, everything seemingly within his grasp.
Yet he no longer exuded vigor.
His right hand was wrapped in bandages, and a scar on his face snaked from his forehead to his right cheek, not yet faded. He leaned back in the rocking chair, limp as an overgrown infant, barely able to stand.
Standing opposite him was the Intelligence Minister, there to report on work.
Pingliang Director coughed dryly, slightly shifted his posture, and went from slumping to semi-reclining on the desk.
During the operation to encircle the cult, Pingliang Director had been severely injured, attacked by a special energy, such that even Healing Series Ability Users couldn't fully cure him; he could only replenish his nutrients and rely on his strong physique for a gradual recovery.
