Su Li's behavior left everyone in the conference room astonished.
The A-Rank captains who had only just emerged from Qi Wu's shadow looked even more speechless as this bizarre special envoy from headquarters offered them cigarettes with a Chunghwa dangling from her lips.
No wonder Wolf Team had said she had mental issues... How was this just a minor issue?
Her mind worked on an entirely different wavelength.
The veins on Wolf Team's forehead bulged even harder, and he coughed heavily twice.
"All right, all right. You're no fun."
Seeing how strongly Wolf Team objected, she muttered a complaint, but finally tucked the open cigarette pack back into her suit's inner pocket.
Watching the woman, Qi Wu felt a little curious.
Who exactly was this woman?
Her talent for stirring things up actually rivaled his own?
He couldn't let her steal his crown as the king of show-offs.
Just then, he felt someone gently bump his shoulder.
It was Iron Buddha, standing beside him.
He leaned closer to Qi Wu and lowered his voice to a whisper.
"I know this woman. She's a pretty big deal."
There was a hint of warning in Iron Buddha's tone.
"She's the Empire's fifth princess, Her Highness Su Li. She holds the title of 'Special Strategic Consultant' at headquarters, but her actual authority is considerable... Most importantly, she has an extremely rare 'Prophecy' ability classified as top secret. Even Boss Wolf Team has to give her some leeway... No, a lot of leeway."
Understanding dawned on Qi Wu. So that was it.
An imperial princess, a senior official at headquarters, and a Prophecy ability on top of that... No wonder she was so brazen. Even Wolf Team, at the Ninth Rank, couldn't keep her in check.
That combination of status and ability certainly warranted
