"Fortunately, I did not fail my mission."
Liu Chaozong patted the long box on the table and said with a smile, "Inside is Spear King Zhao Changping's Demon Character Spear Shaft. Getting my hands on it took no small effort!"
"Thank you for the trouble, sir!"
For Wang Chen, this was truly an enormous surprise!
Although Wang Chen had already had a premonition on his way to the Imperial Procession Department Outer Division, suspecting that Liu Chaozong had obtained the shaft of the Great Hao Demon Punishing Spear, seeing this treasure actually placed before him was an entirely different feeling.
To be honest, Wang Chen had not placed much hope in this Deputy Commander before. He had even considered sneaking into the Imperial Procession Department's secret vault to steal it.
Liu Chaozong's influence was clearly far greater than he had expected!
"Let me make this clear first..."
Liu Chaozong waved a hand. "Once you take this Demon Character Spear Shaft, all your merits will be written off in one stroke. From now on, remain in the Imperial Procession Department Outer Division as the Demon Suppressing Commander, responsible for investigating demon-related cases in the capital region."
Wang Chen nodded. "All right!"
In other words, he had exchanged all his merits for this spear shaft. As for his official position, there would be neither promotion nor demotion, merely a formal transfer from the provinces to a post in the imperial capital.
Wang Chen was extremely satisfied with this outcome!
The hundred thousand taels of silver he had slipped Liu Chaozong had not been wasted.
"Then take it."
Liu Chaozong pointed at the box. "Report to the Outer Division again in half a month."
The half-month leave this Deputy Commander had granted Wang Chen earlier was still valid.
"Thank you, sir!"
Wang Chen
