Chapter 519: Chapter 514: Stop Chasing, the Permissions Are Yours
The plant held by the Wood Element Investigator contained a message recorded with a special superpower.
This was the message that the detective, who loved meat soup with rice, risked his life to deliver to him.
[West Continent, Jiazhou, and South Continent collectively dispatched 100,000 people into the Erdos Mountain Range]
The Erdos Mountain Range is the highest snow-capped mountain range at the border of Hua Continent and the West Continent.
Due to its high altitude, it has shielded the West Continent from many war-generated pollution sources, allowing the West Continent to linger for so many years.
Now they have actually dispatched 100,000 people into the Erdos Mountain Range, indicating that their intentions go beyond the surface.
She really gave them face.
"Since they’re seeking death, let them come..."
The Wood Element Investigator heard the murderous intent in Ji Ning’s voice and couldn’t help but shiver, gingerly asking, "Do we need to report this up the chain?"
Ji Ning glanced at him, and the Wood Element Investigator felt that his little thoughts were seen through by her, his expression unnatural. Just as he was about to retract his words, Ji Ning said, "Isn’t it your duty, do you need to ask me?"
The Wood Element Investigator’s ears turned red instantly, "I’ll report it immediately."
Seeing him turn and leave immediately, Ji Ning stopped him in time, "Wait a moment. After you return, submit an application for transfer. Once you’re over, I’ll assign a new task."
The Wood Element Investigator immediately looked up, his eyes brightened a bit, and he stood at attention, "Yes, team leader!"
***
Nearing international waters, a fleet flying the Hua Continent flag could be seen from afar.
A main ship, five auxiliary ships, and more than a dozen agile warships.
The scale was almost comparable to a fleet dispatched for a small-scale battle.
Fu Ninghao was also standing in the main ship’s cockpit, looking ahead with binoculars.
Although the Hua Continent’s Smart Brain was operating normally now, as the second-in-command next to the [Supreme Commander], his management authority had actually failed.
This was equivalent to weakening the Fu Family’s voice in Hua Continent.
The weapons depots managed by major Hua Continent bases were controlled by the Smart Brain, and if the Fu Family didn’t have management authority, their influence at the base would gradually be weakened.
The Li Family and Ye Family were also facing this issue.
But Ji Ning had not given them any explanation, and she even single-handedly challenged the Josen Family in the West Continent to rescue numerous detectives, without any communication with them.
It was the ambassador from the West Continent Alliance stationed in Hua Continent who privately contacted the head of the Hua Continent’s foreign affairs department, only then did they learn about the earth-shattering event Ji Ning had done in the West Continent.
Although Ji Ning successfully destroyed the Ji Family Army’s main base of the Left Wing, halted the development of the Eternal Life Sect, and rescued all the undercover detectives, her actions put the Huazhou Alliance in a very passive position.
Especially their three families, who were clearly marginalized in this event.
She preferred to use people from the Right Wing of the Ji Family Army and didn’t bother to say more than a word to them.
Now she had even canceled their privileges.
So he wanted to ask Ji Ning directly, what exactly did she intend to do?
Was she really intending to burn bridges after crossing them?
But Ji Ning didn’t give him that chance.
When the passenger ship sailed into international waters, Ji Ning’s figure was already absent from the ship.
At this moment, she was being pulled onto a small boat from the sea by the Captain of the Twelve Guards.
Masha and the little boy Barry stood on the deck, eagerly handing Ji Ning a towel and a bath towel.
This time, Ji Ning didn’t let the two children go with the large passenger ship to Hua Continent, choosing instead to keep them by her side, mainly because the special nature of these children’s superpowers, along with their strong vigilance against outsiders, made it the safest option to keep them with her while their sense of right and wrong was not yet fully formed.
Ye Xingyan stood on the deck looking ahead with binoculars, still making teasing comments.
"Tsk tsk, even Uncle Fu is here, the Commander surely has a grand presence."
Ji Ning glanced at him, "Still not leaving? Waiting to be caught back to Hua Continent?"
Ye Xingyan immediately put down the binoculars, incredulously saying: "No way? We’re in the West Continent’s seas."
Ji Ning sneered, "An old man who just lost some privileges, how much reason do you think he has left?"
Thinking back to scenes from childhood of seeing Fu Ninghao chasing Fu Lishen around the yard with a stick, Ye Xingyan shuddered: "Let’s go quickly."
Not seeing Ji Ning on the passenger ship, Fu Ninghao was furious and was planning to have the warships pursue, when the Smart Brain on him suddenly alerted him to an incoming voice call.
Looking down, he saw the two characters displayed on the screen: [Ji Ning]
With a stern face, Fu Ninghao pressed the connect button, and Ji Ning’s familiar voice immediately came through: "Don’t chase, the authority is given to you."
Fu Ninghao’s expression improved slightly, "What are you up to now?"
"Just dealt with the Left Wing, now going to check the Right Wing."
"Are you on a Ji Family Army ship?" Fu Ninghao’s gaze sharpened as he picked up the binoculars to look out again.
Seeming to read his mind, Ji Ning warned: "Don’t act rashly, there are 12 Sixteenth Rank superpower users here, be careful you don’t return to Hua Continent."
Fu Ninghao paused, nearly dropping the binoculars in disbelief, "Ji Ning, this is no joke, are there truly 12 Sixteenth Rank experts on the Right Wing?"
"Based on Ye Xingyan’s ability, 12 is not the limit."
Although frustrated, Fu Ninghao calmed his restless heart with reason and changed the topic, "When will you be back?"
Looking at the distant sea gradually darkening, Ji Ning replied, "I’m not sure."
Fu Ninghao: ...
"Oh, right, do me a favor and tell Li Wenxin that all the detectives on board are now reassigned to my investigation team."
Thinking about those detectives holding urns, Fu Ninghao couldn’t help but pity Li Wenxin.
"I’ll let him know."
"Also, since Ye Tong and Huang Ying cooperated with the Security Bureau’s action this time, don’t announce it externally, give the rewards privately."
Fu Ninghao had some impressions of Ye Tong and Huang Ying, as these two had appeared in the New Year live broadcast event.
Especially the girl called Ye Tong, who was very beautiful and an actress.
"I’ve heard from Hei Ling that Huang Ying used to be in the Yellow Group, should she be arranged to return to the Special Ability Team?"
"No need, she doesn’t even want to be an official detective." Ji Ning declined on behalf of Huang Ying.
When the time came to regularize Ah Da and the others, Ji Ning had asked Huang Ying if she wanted to be regularized too, but Huang Ying waved her hand repeatedly, looking eager to avoid it. It seemed that her time in the Special Ability Team had not been pleasant.
Fu Ninghao felt a bit regretful.
The two talked about some things that happened in the West Continent before ending the call.
In a rather good mood, Fu Ninghao checked his Smart Brain privileges.
Same as before, still an honorary general-level, SS-level management privileges.
Until he opened the privilege list, his face instantly darkened, gritting his teeth: "Ji Ning, you’re really something..."
Before setting the privileges, Ji Ning had [Zero] revise the contents of all management level privileges.
The first item canceled the SS-level management authority’s ability to access all information in the Hua Continent’s Smart Brain database at will, adjusting it to a directional job application.
The second item canceled the SS-level management authority’s direct power to appoint/dismiss lower-level administrators, adjusting it to only have initiation and voting rights.
The third item stipulated that those with SS-level management authority, and their immediate family members, could not hold the S-level management authority of the Huazhou Alliance’s 12 Round Table members.
...
Previously, the SS-level management privileges, second only to the Supreme Commander, allowed access to view all information in the Hua Continent’s Smart Brain database, freely appoint and adjust lower-level manager permissions, and held a voice in the round table meetings.
But now, these three key privileges had been restricted.
