Chapter 244 Strong Condemnation_2
"Who knows what's actually happening!"
Meanwhile, the mastermind behind all this chaos, Lin Beichen, had already opened his eyes, feeling the surge of Fire Element power within him, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.
"Finally, the Fourth Stage."
Lin Beichen arrived at the foot of the volcano, looking up at the towering volcano before him, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
"Since your task is complete, there's no need for you to exist any longer."
While speaking, Lin Beichen stretched out his right hand towards the volcano. At this moment, the lava inside the volcano became increasingly violent. Finally, as Lin Beichen clenched his fist.
"Break!"
The Divine Light Volcano could no longer withstand the power, and the lava spurted out like a flood from a breached dam. At the same time, a helicopter appeared above Lin Beichen's head.
"Boss, time to go home!"
Gale dropped a soft ladder from the helicopter, and smiling, waved at Lin Beichen.
"This is quite a spectacular scene."
After Lin Beichen boarded the helicopter, Gale watched the continuously surging lava below and muttered to himself.
"Time to go back."
Lin Beichen rarely showed an excited smile in front of everyone, obviously very satisfied with his own actions.
But soon, a trace of hesitation appeared on Lin Beichen's face. Seeing his expression, Gale and others hurriedly gathered around.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Looking at the worried faces around him, Lin Beichen felt warmth in his heart. He knew these people sincerely cared about him.
"Nothing much."
Lin Beichen shook his head.
Even though Lin Beichen said that, everyone was still somewhat worried. They didn't know what methods Lin Beichen used to trigger the volcano, but no matter how powerful a person performs such a feat, their body must pay a significant price.
However, they naturally wouldn't say this out loud, since Lin Beichen had claimed there was no problem, indicating he didn't want the matter to be overly discussed.
By now, Gale and his teammates had entirely considered themselves to be Lin Beichen's men and naturally wouldn't contradict their boss.
As time passed, they soon landed on the safety bureau's helipad. Before the helicopter landed, Lin Beichen and his team had already seen Song Xiangdong and Wan Guochun with their subordinates waiting there early.
This scene made Gale and others feel a surge of emotion, as it was the highest honor for them.
As Lin Beichen walked down, Song Xiangdong hurried forward. Seeing Song Xiangdong's smiling face, Wan Guochun felt deeply disdainful.
"It's just that you recruited him before I could. If I had met him first, he'd be my man now."
Of course, Wan Guochun only said this to himself, knowing better than to say it out loud and risk being laughed at by Song Xiangdong.
"You've really done a great job. How are you? Any injuries?"
Faced with Song Xiangdong's concern, Lin Beichen seemed quite used to it, smiling and shaking his head.
"Nothing serious, just a bit tired. I just need to find a place to rest for a while."
Lin Beichen wasn't faking it. Although triggering the volcano rapidly consumed his power, he now had the power of the Five Elements, which replenished his consumed power.
Lin Beichen said this to let Song Xiangdong and others understand the difficulty of his task. Hearing Lin Beichen's words, Song Xiangdong nodded and immediately arranged for his men to take care of Lin Beichen's rest.
After this event, Lin Beichen could be said to be a trump card for the safety bureau, even a symbol of it. The elders, knowing the success of Lin Beichen's mission, were also very pleased.
"This damned bastard! When will he stop!"
Standing by, Wan Guochun's face showed immense conflict. His clenched fist indicated he was on the verge of exploding. However, since Lin Beichen was part of the safety bureau, it made sense for him to chat with his colleagues.
"How dare you steal my talent!"
Wan Guochun's reaction was noted by Song Xiangdong, but he pretended not to see it, not only ignoring Wan Guochun's fury but also feeling a bit pleased. After chatting for a few more minutes, Song Xiangdong suddenly acted as if he remembered something.
"Oh right, Deputy Commander Wan also has something to discuss with you."
Having chatted for a long time, Song Xiangdong finally pretended to remember.
Seeing Song Xiangdong's fake smile, Wan Guochun felt an urge to tear him apart.
This damned bastard was too infuriating, but Wan Guochun was powerless. Lin Beichen was from the safety bureau, not the Dragon Army.
"You did an excellent job this time. So, on behalf of the Dragon Army, I extend another invitation to you."
With a serious expression, Wan Guochun's words almost made Song Xiangdong's smile freeze, nearly twisting his nose in anger.
Previously, Song Xiangdong had clearly asked Wan Guochun if he intended to recruit from his team. Back then, Wan Guochun adamantly denied it. But after seeing Lin Beichen, Wan Guochun seemed to change his stance entirely, disregarding his earlier words.
In fact, Wan Guochun didn't initially intend to recruit from the safety bureau. But watching Song Xiangdong flaunt it stirred an unexplainable fury within him.
So, Wan Guochun brazenly tried to recruit from Song Xiangdong's team. After he spoke, the safety bureau members visibly showed their discontent.
Despite respecting Wan Guochun's rank, the safety bureau underlings glared at him. If looks could kill, Wan Guochun would already be shredded to pieces.
The Dragon Army's members remained serious but secretly felt their boss was somewhat unreasonable. The most critical thing was this was the safety bureau's territory; even if you wanted to recruit, couldn't you choose another place?
The happiest person present was Wang Hao. If Lin Beichen joined the Dragon Army, they'd become the closest comrades.
Lin Beichen also noticed Wang Hao in the crowd and walked up, warmly greeting him.
"I never thought you were this powerful. Handling those drug dealers must have been a piece of cake for you."
Wang Hao's words made Lin Beichen blush slightly. Others saying this was different; the bond between him and Wang Hao was unique, forged through life-and-death battles.
"Alright, let's not chat here. Let's head to the dining hall."
Seeing the change in Lin Beichen's eyes, Song Xiangdong quickly changed the subject, worried that Lin Beichen might be swayed by the Dragon Army.
Everyone then moved to the safety bureau's dining hall, a room generally not open to outsiders, reserved for elders.
"This time, young man, eating in this room was suggested by the elders."
Though Song Xiangdong was the director, he wouldn't dare bring people in without the elders' approval.
Wan Guochun was surprised, not expecting the elders to value Lin Beichen so highly, though he knew Song Xiangdong wouldn't dare lie about such a matter.
"I feel a bit embarrassed being held in such high esteem."
Lin Beichen scratched his head, his reaction genuine, as the happiness came too suddenly.
"There's no need to be embarrassed. From the start till now, you've made significant contributions to the country."
Suddenly, a hearty voice of an elder rang out, catching everyone's attention and causing Song Xiangdong and Wan Guochun to pause slightly.
