Southwest Regional Headquarters of the Night Watch Army, Minister's Office.

There were two people in the office at that moment. The unassuming Li Yong was pacing back and forth, muttering to himself:

"He completed ninety-six missions in twenty days, averaging nearly five a day, eliminating 161 targets. He only slept five hours a day, and subtracting travel time, he could complete a mission in about ten to half an hour. To be honest, I'm a little scared. This kid was only gone for two days with you, what triggered him? Didn't you successfully kill the plastic surgery monster?"

Sitting at the table, Chen Guang raised his right hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said helplessly, "Stop pacing around, you're making me dizzy."

Twenty days ago, Chen Guang originally planned to send Wang Yi back to school, and then submit a report to Wang Yi to apply for a professional teaching teacher and to apply for the distribution of various magic crystals.

However, Wang Yi took the initiative to ask to complete some more tasks. Chen Guang understood that the fact that the night watchmen's field operatives had been implicated and sacrificed was like a heavy stone pressing on Wang Yi's heart, making it difficult for the young man to breathe.

Every soldier has to witness the sacrifice of his comrades. With the idea that it would be good to release some emotions, Chen Guang agreed to Wang Yi's request and sent Wang Yi to work in the Southwest Military Region, which would also fulfill Li Yong's wish.

That evening, after attending a dinner party, Wang Yi set off overnight for the Southwest Regional Headquarters of the Night Watch Army.

After Chen Guang finished making the phone call and arrangements with Li Yong, he went to attend to his own business and also ran some procedures for Wang Yi's treatment. Only now did he find the time to come to Li Yong to inquire about Wang Yi's task completion status, preparing to take Wang Yi away.

The teachers have been found, and some of the magic crystals applied for have been distributed. It's time for Wang Yi to return to his normal school life.

Chen Guang hadn't expected that Wang Yi would be like a wound-up toy, never stopping for the past twenty days, which surprised Li Yong.

Upon meeting Chen Guang, Li Yong launched into a long explanation.

Chen Guang couldn't help but glance at Li Yong. You wanted to keep people as cattle and horses, but now that they're plowing the fields so well, you're getting impatient.

Just then, Li Yong's phone rang. He glanced at the number and then answered it.

Ten seconds later, Li Yong hung up the phone, took a deep breath, and said, "Alright, now there are ninety-seven missions. He just wiped out a B-level Netherworld Assassin Squad. He only accepts missions that require a kill, so none of the five mission targets survived."

"Killing like this isn't a solution; going too far is as bad as going too far, and it will distort their minds," Chen Guang said, frowning slightly.

"You know too?" Li Yong replied irritably, then picked up the phone again and dialed a number: "This is Qianlong. Stop assigning missions to Xiao-11 and order Xiao-11 to return to the Southwest Regional Military Headquarters immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Li Yong said to Chen Guang, "When this kid comes back in a few hours, you'd better take him away quickly."

Chen Guang casually flipped through Wang Yi's mission log on the table, but said, "You're willing to let him go? He completed nearly a hundred missions in less than a month, and apart from intelligence gathering, he hardly consumed any extra resources. All the missions were clean and efficient, without affecting ordinary people, and he also saved a lot of Night Watch soldiers and field agents. Aren't you thrilled?"

"Get out of here!" Li Yong glared at Chen Guang. "He may be handsome, but if this continues, he'll be ruined. The Night Watch needs a transcendent who can shoulder great responsibilities in the future, not a butcher who can kill mid-level mages like cutting melons and vegetables right now. This kid has a bright future ahead of him, and he can't be ruined here. After you take him back, remember to arrange a psychological evaluation and treatment for him."

"I've already arranged everything without you having to tell me. It's all done professionally," Chen Guang said, closing the file.

"What exactly happened? When I first met this kid, although he was quite decisive when it came to killing, he was also quite cheerful. How come he's changed so much in just two days?"

Li Yong felt that something was definitely going on here.

"He's too kind-hearted and too righteous. Don't be fooled by his ruthless killing; he only kills people who would be innocent if executed within half an hour. He just puts a lot of pressure on himself because he feels he caused the deaths of a field agent and some ordinary people."

Chen Guang sighed. In fact, judging from the fact that Wang Yi had always chosen to do his mission alone for the past twenty days, it was clear that the kid was still affected by Yang Li's death.

It was the plastic surgery monster who made the move. Even if it was because the plastic surgery monster wanted to kill Wang Yi that others were affected, it's not Wang Yi's fault. It's just that Wang Yi himself can't get over this.

Of course, having compassion is a good thing, and the more humane one is, the higher one's moral standards will be. However, as a Dharma Master, unless one stays at home and never leaves the house, one will inevitably experience more life-and-death separations, which is a very cruel reality.

Li Yong's eyes widened: "Implicated? I read the plastic surgery monster's mission briefing, and he wasn't involved at all. Tell me the truth, did you write a fake report?"

"You don't have the authority, so stop asking questions," Chen Guang replied outright.

Li Yong's temper flared immediately: "Damn it, I'm the head of the Southwest Military Region of the Chinese Night Watch Army. In terms of authority, I'm higher than you. There are no more than thirty people in the entire Night Watch Army with higher authority than me. Are you trying to talk to me about authority?"

"There are still thirty left, but if it's not enough, it's not enough. We'll talk about it again when you become a 'Dragon,' Qianlong!" Chen Guang said quietly, emphasizing the last two words.

"You!" Li Yong pointed at Chen Guang, but couldn't refute him. After a long while, he sighed and said:

"I've checked his information. Judging from the strength he displayed during the spatial rift in Lanling City, and the magic he used, his talent is one in a million. Most importantly, he has faith and courage, and he's a model citizen. If you don't have the ability, don't take him under your wing. If you happen to ruin him, I'll never forgive you. I'll go directly to the Marshal and report you for harming a pillar of the nation. Don't try to defend yourself then."

"I know," Chen Guang nodded.

Two hours later, there was a knock on the office door.

"Come in," Li Yong said.

When Wang Yi opened the door and saw Chen Guang, she was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood why she had been called back.

"Owl-11 reporting for duty!"

"Xiao Wang, thank you for your contributions to the Night Watch and the country over the past twenty days. Every single one of them will be recorded. Now, you can go home."

"Go...home..." Wang Yi murmured softly, as several figures flashed before his eyes.

It's only been twenty-odd days, but it feels like it's been ages since we last met.

I really miss them.

Chen Guang stepped forward and patted Wang Yi on the shoulder.

"Let's go home."
