"Qian Zhongshan, what's going on here?" Li Xiu looked at Qian Zhongshan and asked.

"Commander, we were ignorant in the past and offended you in many ways. We beg your forgiveness. But rest assured, from now on all of us Magic Armor Masters will recognize only you as our Commander. No one else will do." Qian Zhongshan said.

"Tell me the reason." Li Xiu said.

Qian Zhongshan scratched his head, said awkwardly, "You defeated Jing Li with the Demon Armor, and we greatly admire you. Lei Qingfeng and Qiu Tianyu also taught us the Chain Manipulation Technique you created. We admire you immensely as our Commander, you are truly the king of Magic Armor Masters, only you deserve to be our Commander. We will follow you unconditionally in the future."

"So that's how it is." Only then did Li Xiu understand what was going on.

"Who is the Magic Armor Master that didn't come?" Li Xiu asked Qian Zhongshan.

"His codename is Little Cat. Although he is part of our Magic Armor squad, he belongs to the Sun Family among the four major families. He is a bit different from us Magic Armor Masters, rarely coming to the squad. It's not intentional to go against you." Qian Zhongshan hastily explained.

Li Xiu nodded, "You go tell the team members, I'm going to the General Affairs Department to collect our dues. Those willing to go can come with me, those unwilling don't have to force themselves."

Li Xiu knew Bai Wanli had managed the Magic Armor group for many years, and there were certainly those among the Magic Armor Masters who still answered to him. Besides, the Blood Seal Stones of these Magic Armor Masters were still in Bai Wanli's hands. It was understandable if they didn't want to go.

Of course, Li Xiu would remember those Magic Armor Masters who didn't go, and he would give them extra "attention" in the future.

Soon enough, Qian Zhongshan gathered all the Magic Armor Masters, not a single one unwilling to go.

Seeing this, Li Xiu didn't say anything further, leading over a hundred Magic Armor Masters, they majestically headed to the General Affairs Department.

The guards at the General Affairs Department saw Li Xiu leading a group of Magic Armor Masters over, their legs went weak.

The event of Li Xiu's recent defeat of Jing Li had spread throughout Longevity City, and now everyone knew how formidable this new technician group Commander was.

"Commander Li, what brings you to the General Affairs Department?" The usually arrogant guards of the department, now plastered smiles on their faces, bowed deeply, afraid of inciting Li Xiu's wrath.

"What's our Commander doing in the General Affairs Department? Of course to collect supplies. Hurry and prepare them." Qian Zhongshan said directly without giving Li Xiu a chance to speak.

"Commander Li, Vice President Bai is out, we can't make the decision. Perhaps you could come back later?" The guard said nervously.

"Since Vice President Bai is not here, let's not trouble him." Li Xiu said lightly.

The guard felt a moment of happiness in his heart, but before he could respond, Li Xiu continued to say, "We'll gather them ourselves."

With that, Li Xiu headed directly inside, the line of over a hundred Magic Armor Masters followed orderly behind him, the guards dared not stop them, merely watching them enter.

Li Xiu had already found out the location of the warehouse and walked directly over as a grand procession of Magic Armor Masters, like bandits descending the mountain to seize grain.

People at the General Affairs Department had never seen such a sight. Before, whoever saw people from the department wasn't polite and respectful, unlike Li Xiu leading a group like this as if to rob them.

The guards dared not intervene, the one who initially spoke with Li Xiu hurriedly ran off.

When Li Xiu brought the Magic Armor Masters to the warehouse courtyard, he saw Bai Wanli rushing over.

"Are you rebelling? Daring to openly rob the General Affairs Department, do you know the crime you're committing?" Bai Wanli stood in front of Li Xiu, angrily rebuking.

"We're here to collect our own supplies, how could this be called robbery? Vice President Bai, you're busy, and the General Affairs Department is short-staffed. As a brother unit, we're providing free voluntary assistance, no need to thank us." Li Xiu said with a smile.

"Li Xiu, get it clear, Longevity City is not a place where you can do whatever you want. Don't think defeating one Jing Li makes you anything special, you're still nothing. Aren't you here to rob supplies? Go ahead and rob them." Bai Wanli stepped aside, sneering as he continued, "The General Affairs Department is where Longevity City's economic lifeline lies. All supplies from the various families and the six groups of Longevity City are stored here. If anything goes missing, not only will the four families and six groups not let it go, but even the President won't spare you. You want to rob? Go ahead and rob."

"Break down the door, Vice President Bai has allowed us to move them freely." At Li Xiu's command, Qian Zhongshan led the Magic Armor Masters to dash towards the door, with Demon Light Blades materializing in their hands, they truly intended to break the door down.

Bai Wanli's expression changed drastically, he hadn't expected Li Xiu to be so unyielding.

He had spoken the truth; if Li Xiu truly robbed the General Affairs Department's warehouse, Li Xiu would be finished.

However, if Li Xiu was finished, then Bai Wanli, the Vice President overseeing the General Affairs Department, would be finished too. If he couldn't even watch over the General Affairs Department, how could he still be Vice President?

Li Xiu was unafraid of a scorched-earth policy, but Bai Wanli was. Moreover, he was in the wrong, as he did withhold the supplies meant for the technician group.

"Wait a moment." Bai Wanli suddenly shouted, his terrifying voice causing some Magic Armor Masters to painfully cover their ears.

Li Xiu stared at Bai Wanli, sneering, "Vice President Bai, what else do you have to instruct?"

Bai Wanli suppressed his burning anger, gritting his teeth, "You just want supplies, don't you? I'll give them to you. Come with me, and we'll account for it all, piece by piece."

"No need to account, I don't care about past due, but for this month, not a needle can be missing. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll take it myself." Li Xiu said, expressionless.

"You..." Bai Wanli, having his thoughts seen through, was both furious and indignant.

The accounts made under his management with the Magic Armor group weren't simple. If Li Xiu truly settled accounts with him, the Magic Armor group might even be owing money to the General Affairs Department.

"Will you give them or not?" Li Xiu stared coldly at Bai Wanli.

"Fine, I'll give them." Bai Wanli's teeth were nearly gritted to dust.
