As expected by everyone, the Gorge later shifted its operational focus to reorganizing Central City.

Many B-level warriors from the Gorge took high positions, which was extremely rare in the history of Central City.

Moreover, they banned people from discussing it; Ma Long still dared to quietly say a few words, while Optimus didn't dare mention it at all.

For example, Jamaari has already been transferred out of the Inspection Bureau to a place for retirement.

Last time, Na Mu substituted as the Celestial Room Patrol Chief by purposely sending Patrol Chief Shu Shanya away.

Now, Shu Shanya is directly demoted to being the Profound Character Room Inspector, and the Celestial Room Inspector has been taken over by a warrior from the Gorge.

This move is very characteristic of the Gorge: wherever you wronged me, I'll recover it from there.

The newly appointed Earth Room Patrol Chief comes from the Law Enforcement Team and isn't from the Gorge; this person is quite acquainted with Jamaari.

The cultivation techniques deduced by Qu Jianlei still are under the ownership of the Inspection Bureau.

Seemingly fair, yet it bears little relation to Jamaari anymore.

Though Jamaari is the initiator, he can't complain, since it's still those familiar faces in the Inspection Bureau who benefit.

The newly appointed Earth Room Patrol Chief is responsible for continuing to collect improved cultivation methods for fire and earth attributes.

This is very daunting; Jian Lei is not familiar with him, and more subtly, how he should handle meeting Jian Lei?

The entire process reeks of absurdity, yet it's undeniable that the majority of crucial positions in Central City are controlled by the Gorge.

Ma Long and the others are frustrated because the warriors from the Gorge indeed carry an air of superiority.

Although they're trying hard to conceal it, that aura still emanates from their bones, let alone occasionally it shows.

This causes many ultimate warriors in Central City to feel repulsed, including many B-level warriors.

They've occupied high positions, yet they still put on such a face, who are they showing it to?

No one dares to defy the Gorge, but it's not surprising that some pretend to work without truly exerting effort.

Just like Ma Long, even knowing that Qu Jianlei arrived, reporting it up would be a merit, yet he not only didn't report it but also came to see the person.

If it was just for their past work relationship, staying silent would be enough; there's no need to come personally.

Qu Jianlei thought about it and asked, "So, even if most people know I've come, they would pretend not to know?"

"That's basically it," Ma Long answered unhesitatingly. "Once reported, whether or not to participate in capturing you?"

"Not participating means a bad attitude; the merit of reporting will be erased."

"If they participate, they truly can't beat you... you can even kill an A-level warrior."

"That was Sander's arrogance," Qu Jianlei shook his head with a smile, having very clear self-awareness about his abilities.

However, Ma Long didn't see it that way, dismissively stating.

"Even if that's debatable, you two certainly took down two B-levels, plus a group of the besieging mechas."

Qu Jianlei wanted to stay humble, but felt there was no need, "What's the current situation of the Douglas family?"

He didn't even bother mentioning the word "Douglas."

"Still the same," Ma Long answered without hesitation, "actually worse than last year."

"The Gorge is very annoyed, thinking their people's death is related to that family."

"If it weren't for concerns over some people's perceptions, they might have already acted."

Qu Jianlei tilted his head in thought, "Do you think if I suddenly attacked their manor, the Gorge would turn a blind eye?"

"Better not," Ma Long was startled, "When it involves the order of Central City, don't provoke like this, right?"

But the grievance was hard to swallow. Qu Jianlei thought he couldn't even face Zhou Six, and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"I'll just sneak over to take a look. Their family won't block the road again, right?"

Ma Long chuckled at his words, "That won't happen anymore, except for necessary work, they rarely go out."

After exchanging a few more words, Qu Jianlei watched him leave, then met with Xiao Moshan, deciding to investigate the Douglas family again.

Even if revenge couldn't happen immediately, keeping abreast of new developments was necessary.

This time, he went alone, with Xiao Moshan staying outside the city to provide support.

Relying on his agile body technique, he approached the Douglas family's manor under the cover of night, observed for most of the night, and then quietly left.

However, what he didn't anticipate was that despite thinking he was hidden, his presence was noticed by others.

"Reporting to the captain, the monitor detected abnormal wind element fluctuations near the Douglas family manor."

The Gorge indeed is suppressing this family, but they've also secretly set up monitoring posts around the family perimeter.

The captain was a B-level warrior, with a fire attribute. When he checked the monitoring data, his face changed, "Mo Huaitian?"

(First update, Master He Meng "lyy011") ——————

The captain's name was Yumi, and he belonged to the hardline faction within the Gorge, otherwise, this task wouldn't have fallen to him.

He was very clear about the Gorge's intent: Try to save Jian Lei if possible; as for Mo Huaitian...whatever!

As a hardliner, he was quite dissatisfied with Mo Huaitian, a traitor from the Gorge, having long harbored the intention to kill him.

In his heart, he somewhat supported Sander, the difference being that he definitely had no intention of killing Jian Lei.

Once he saw the data, he immediately judged the intruder was Mo Huaitian, not Jian Lei.

Then he began calling his comrade Shu Ke, who was a B-level wind attribute warrior.

Even within the Gorge, B-level wind attribute warriors were rare; one had already died last time, and only Shu Ke was here this time.
