Hearing this, Gavrey rolled his eyes dramatically.
"I'm telling you, Old Shui, you manage everything under the heavens and on earth. Are you even in charge of how a level-three civilization obtained the coordinates of the universe?"
"There are so many opportunities in this universe. You might casually grab an ancient civilization's legacy, then casually grab a universal relic."
"What, do you want to steal their treasures too? Investigating civilizations—is that something a senior agent like you is qualified to do? Wait until you're promoted to bureau level before considering it."

Of course, he did not treat every senior spacetime agent this way.
He was a seasoned operator, not an argumentative crank.
