Zhao Qingya wasted no time in making a decision.

Lu Yu’s strength had spoken for itself, and she needed someone capable in the deputy mayor position.

“Alright then,” she declared. “Come to my office tomorrow. I’ll hold a ceremony to introduce you to the Patrol Department members. Congratulations, Deputy Mayor Lu!”

Lu Yu offered a curt nod. “See you tomorrow.”

A satisfied smile played on Zhao Qingya’s lips before she turned and left the villa.

Hu Zhan watched her go, shaking his head with a chuckle. “One battle, and you’ve become a whole new person in her eyes. You even agreed to the position so readily—it seems she holds you in high regard now.”

“Deputy Mayor Lu, huh? That puts you above me in both rank and power.” Hu Zhan sighed playfully.

Lu Yu patted his shoulder reassuringly. “Isn’t this a good thing? We can still build a strong friendship. In this system, having someone to watch your back is invaluable.”

Hu Zhan scratched his head sheepishly. “Look who’s talking about watching whose back! My captain position is practically insignificant compared to yours now.”

“Enough chit-chat,” Lu Yu declared, gesturing towards the dining room. “It’s getting late. Let’s grab some dinner and call it a night. You need your rest.”

The next morning, after a refreshing sleep, Lu Yu set out for the office district, heading towards Zhao Qingya’s building.

Meanwhile, on the sixth floor, a heated argument erupted in Zhao Qingya’s office.

“Ms. Zhao!” A furious man bellowed. “This is unacceptable! I came in first thing this morning only to find out I’ve been demoted? Explain yourself!”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“A demotion without a proper explanation? Who is this person taking my position? I never mentioned a promotion, so who suddenly deserves one?!” Zhao Qingya remained calm behind her desk, facing the enraged figure.

“Li, I understand your frustration, but my decision is final. You are no longer the deputy mayor. You’ll be reassigned to a ministerial-level position.”

“Why? Why should I be demoted after all my hard work?” He roared, refusing to back down.

“Because,” Zhao Qingya explained firmly, “the newly appointed individual has achieved far greater results and possesses superior strength. Their potential is undeniable, making them a more suitable candidate for the position.

Additionally, they volunteered for it.”

“They’re ambitious,” she continued, “and their sights are set on the deputy mayor role. This is not up for debate.”

The man remained unconvinced, frustration etched on his face. “Who is this person? What right do they have to take my position? Is there something more to this? Is there a personal connection?”

Zhao Qingya sighed, a hint of exasperation creeping into her voice. “You’ve been focused on internal matters lately, oblivious to external events.”

“Let me remind you,” she continued. “Yesterday, the Demon Lord Abyss launched a full-scale attack on Skyplume City. It was a major crisis.”

The man acknowledged her point with a curt nod. “Yes, I’m aware. You’ve been handling it, haven’t you? Resolved it already, I presume?”

Zhao Qingya shook her head. “Not quite. Our forces were ineffective against the enemy, pushed to the brink of defeat.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“But the enemy vanished! They never even breached the city walls before disappearing entirely!” The man exclaimed, utterly confused.

“Yes,” Zhao Qingya confirmed, “it’s the young man you saw yesterday, Lu Yu.

He single-handedly vanquished the entire enemy army. And he’s the one taking your place.”

The man’s jaw dropped. “Alone… an entire army? And he gets my position for it? Are you serious?”

Zhao Qingya sighed, a hint of exasperation creeping into her voice. “Absolutely.

Why would I lie about something this important?”

The man’s mind reeled. He took a deep breath, struggling to process the news. “Given what you’ve described,” he muttered, his voice devoid of its earlier bluster, “he does have the qualifications to replace me…”

“Exactly,” Zhao Qingya said, hoping to ease the tension. “So, I trust you’ll understand and cooperate with the transition. Otherwise, things could get messy.”

The man, clearly defeated, nodded glumly. “I understand. There is no point in arguing if someone more capable is here. I’ll take my leave. Goodbye.”

With a defeated expression, he turned and walked out, his shoulders slumping in dejection.

Zhao Qingya watched him go, a flicker of sympathy crossing her face. “Such a young man; his future could have been brighter,” she mused to herself, shaking her head.

Just then, her assistant burst through the door, a look of worry etched on her face. “Mayor Zhao, bad news!”

“Calm down,” Zhao Qingya soothed. “Our biggest threat has been neutralized.

What else could possibly be so urgent?”

“It’s the Xu Family,” the assistant explained rapidly. “They’ve sent a large force into Skyplume City, and it seems they have hostile intentions!” Alarmed, Zhao Qingya sat up straighter. “Explain further!”

“Apparently, the Xu Family has a grudge against Lu Yu,” the assistant continued. “They originally planned to extort him, but things went south, and one of their family members ended up dead.”

“That enraged the Xu Family,” she elaborated, “and now they’ve dispatched a force exceeding three thousand men to Skyplume City, with their most powerful Dragon Trainer, Xu Hai, leading the charge. It’s clear they’re here for Lu Yu’s blood!”

“Three thousand men and their strongest Dragon Trainer?” Zhao Qingya repeated, her voice taut with worry.

“Yes, Mayor,” the assistant confirmed. “It’s a significant force.”

A sly smile tugged at the corners of Zhao Qingya’s lips. “Here’s what we’ll do. Send an invitation to Xu Hai, requesting his presence at Lu Yu’s inauguration ceremony.”

The assistant’s eyes widened in surprise. “But Mayor, wouldn’t that be… unwise?”

“Hear me out,” Zhao Qingya said, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. “Don’t reveal Lu Yu’s identity yet. Simply say he’s a new arrival and invite Xu Hai to attend the ceremony in a show of support. If they know it’s Lu Yu from the get-go, they’ll likely back out, creating more problems.”

“I see.” The assistant nodded, catching on. “So, we keep Lu Yu’s identity under wraps and lure Xu Hai in with a false pretense?”

“Precisely,” Zhao Qingya confirmed. “Extend the invitation immediately.”

With a newfound sense of purpose, the assistant hurried out of the office.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of Skyplume City, the Xu Family forces had assembled at a massive factory complex.

Xu Hai, their leader and most skilled Dragon Trainer, stood before the gathered troops, preparing to address them..
