Holy Terra, Administratum.

"Boom!"

"Pfft! Cough cough! Who's so desperate to be reincarnated?! Daring to run wild on my turf!"

The door to the Administratum was smashed to pieces by Lion El'Jonson's punch, and Sinleech spat out every drop of the fine tea he had just drunk.

"Magnus! Mortarion! Come out and see me!"

Oh no, why is this big cat, who just woke up, causing trouble here?

If those two excellent tools were actually brought out, Lion El'Jonson would definitely become a troublemaker.

"Lion, I don't have the Daemon Prince you're looking for here," Sinleech said calmly, wiping his mouth.

"You even know those two are Daemon Princes?!"

"Lion, what you said is quite interesting. Throughout the entire Imperium of Man, ask any Imperium official how many are unaware of the Daemon Prince's existence?"

"Since you know this fact, why did you bring them both into the Administratum?"

Sinleech frowned upon hearing this.

"I need to remind you, Lion."

Even if you are the Primarch of the Imperium, you cannot fabricate facts out of thin air and slander someone's innocence.

"You are in the Administratum of the Imperium of Man, the headquarters of the entire Imperium of Man."

"There are only loyal government officials Imperium, not the Daemon Prince you're looking for!"

You are spreading rumors and misleading the public!

He had already received a definitive answer from the Emperor.

Lion El'Jonson could not stand idly by and watch the Imperium of Man fall into the clutches of the Daemon.

"Boom!"

Bang!

Sinleech only slightly released his power, and Lion El'Jonson was immediately knocked to the ground.

"I'll say it again, you sleepy-headed big cat."

"This is the Adeptus Administratum, and everyone here carries a heavy responsibility."

"If you want to cause trouble, go somewhere else. Don't disturb my subordinates' work. Get out!"

"Lion El'Jonson! Don't be impulsive!"

Sanguinius arrived late.

"I'm so sorry, Chancellor, Lion El'Jonson has just woken up and isn't quite used to the changes here yet."

"The Great Angel has certainly chosen a good time, but I am magnanimous; you may leave."

Sanguinius led the somewhat dizzy Lion El'Jonson out of the Administratum.

"Sanguinius, you know the whole truth. Even if you are powerless to stop it all, you should at least keep a watchful eye on it. That's your responsibility as the Primarch of the Imperium!"

Sanguinius, on the other hand, was having a bit of a headache.

Lion El'Jonson has gotten older and more mature, but why can't he change his stubborn temper?

So you're just doing whatever you want?

"Lion El'Jonson, don't get carried away. The Imperium's administration still depends on those two. Don't cause trouble."

"If Imperium governance relies on Daemon, then the Imperium of Man should have collapsed long ago!"

Upon hearing Lion El'Jonson's words, Sanguinius fell silent, simply watching Lion El'Jonson quietly.

The meaning is quite obvious.

You know what, you really shouldn't say it.

If Imperium administration were truly handled solely by Mortals officials, the Imperium would have truly collapsed long ago.

Seeing Sanguinius suddenly fall silent, Lion El'Jonson felt like a deflated balloon.

It's like punching cotton; you have the strength but nowhere to use it—it's so frustrating.

"Let's go, we're going to the front lines."

"No way, I have to see both of them now!"

"Why are you so stubborn? You deal with those two, and then what? Are you going to handle the Imperium administration?"

"Isn't it just Imperium administration? What's so difficult about that?!"

Well, Lion El'Jonson is beyond saving.

"Okay, you said it yourself. You'd better take on the main responsibility on your own and not ask me for help."

"Ha, don't underestimate the Dark Angels."

Oh well, never mind.

Seeing Lion El'Jonson's insistence, Sanguinius couldn't say anything more, but instead pointed him in the right direction.

"Magnus is handling documents in the Administratum, so finding him is easy, since Magnus's currently the only civil Civil Servant to have obtained Star of Terra."

"Mortarion himself is in the tax department; he is currently the most sought-after tax official throughout the entire Imperium."

"When you get there, don't say you're looking for the Daemon Prince; just say you're looking for the most outstanding tax official."

Lion El'Jonson was surprised that the method was so simple, and also somewhat dissatisfied with Sanguinius's concealment.

Now that we know the specific method, all that's left is to execute it.

I'll go find them.

Watching Lion El'Jonson's departing figure, Sanguinius felt a deep sadness mixed with joy.

"You just sold him off like that?"

"Chancellor Excellency, he is the eldest son of the Imperium, my Big Brother."

"Got it, the Boss deserves to be the sucker."

"I've tried my best to remind him, but since it concerns your plans, I can't say too much."

"How did you know I had a plan?" Sinleech asked.

If I remember correctly, I never revealed my plans to anyone, so how did Sanguinius know?

"Chancellor Excellency, you haven't disturbed my premonition of the future. Perhaps I've been too busy to remember. But I glimpsed a general outline in the few words of fate I heard."

"Oh, I didn't know that was the case. It seems I was indeed negligent."

"But Lion El'Jonson has already gone to cause trouble, so I have to keep an eye on him."

As expected of Chaos Gods, not only are his intentions sinister, but he also manages to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Sanguinius was absolutely certain that the Prophecy he saw was the work of this Chancellor.

Its sole purpose is to inform me about the upcoming appointment of someone to the Administratum.

The Chancellor knew he wouldn't be able to join the Administratum, so the awakened Lion El'Jonson became the only candidate.

The final result was predictable.

Lion El'Jonson, acting on his own warning, goes to cause trouble for the two Daemon Princes, Chancellor will definitely sabotage the whole process.

In this way, Lion El'Jonson will basically be going to the Administratum.

As for the Daemon Prince?

The Emperor has agreed, so why should Lion El'Jonson agree?

With Sinleech's current reputation, he could easily make up any excuse to get away with it.

After all, the Chancellor has devoted himself to the Imperium for many years, and he is the most powerful Living Saint in the world.

As for Lion El'Jonson?

If someone who has just woken up treats political elites as the Primarch of a firecracker, their reputation within the Administratum will definitely be ruined.

Not to mention that most of the elites in the current Administratum are Greater Daemon he placed there; the entire Administratum is controlled by the Chancellor alone, regardless of right or wrong.

"Big Brother, you were too reckless."

Lion El'Jonson, on the other hand, has learned his lesson now.

Instead of immediately seeking trouble, they waited until their break time.

Then, in the name of the Primarch, Magnus and Mortarion were summoned.

"Grown ups."

"How long are you two planning to keep pretending with me, traitors to the Imperium?"

The two exchanged a glance, a disdainful smile playing on their lips.

"Ha, you're getting old, Lion El'Jonson. At your age, you shouldn't be so reckless." Mortarion adjusted his Glasses.

"You damned Daemon's lackey, you better not try anything funny!"

"What, you think you can kill us, my dear Big Brother?" Magnus said.

In reality, Lion El'Jonson really wanted to kill them both, but the Imperium needed them right now, so he couldn't do it yet.

"Simply killing you would be too easy on you two. I want you to watch the Imperium of Man flourish from within the Administratum!"

When they realized that Lion El'Jonson wasn't going to make a move, the two of them became anxious.

Once this physical body dies, their seal will be broken, but Lion El'Jonson won't take the bait!

But things always change. Just when they thought things were going to go wrong, their bodies suddenly began to rot and eventually turned into a pool of blood.

Lion El'Jonson:??? Is that right?

"Oh no! This is terrible!"

It was Sinleech who pulled this clumsy trick!

"Your Primarch Imperium, what are you doing? These are the elites I painstakingly nurtured!!"
