Chapter 33: His Worth
Translator: MJ_ Editor: Millman97
The director, vice-director, 13 section heads, and some other top brass of Division 13 quickly assembled in the conference room to discuss how to proceed with Han Xiao
“Han Xiao possesses knowledge of vital information With his help, ill be able to launch precise attacks on the Geranization’s bases He is a mechanic, and has deents He is willing to cooperate…” read the intelligence head from a compiled report
“I believe that we can put soether,” he added
After a few seconds of uncertain silence, the Internal Affairs Minister was the first to raise his objection
“No way What if the intel he gives us is false?”
Division 13 was split into two factions: the hardliners, led by the Internal Affairs Minister, and the conservatives, led by the Intelligence Minister
The two factions sat separately
“That is very unlikely,” answered the Intelligence Minister “He is a deserter of the Gerains our protection There is no reason to doubt his willingness to cooperate”
“For all you know, it could just be an elaborate act!” The Internal Affairs Ministers shot back “I suggest we detain him and extract the intel frootiate with anyone”
“You are being ridiculous! Such measures are uncalled for! Han Xiao has already de is accepting it and working together against the common enemy!”
“That is what a coould do!”
“You are the definition of brainless!”
Under the leadershi+p of their respective spokese in an exchange of insults Although both factions valued the intel that Han Xiao possessed, one faction wanted to befriend hiether, while the other faction saw him as a potential threat The squabble looked like it was almost about to escalate into a brawl
The director and vice-director simply watched on The director was the person with the most power in Division 13, while the vice-director was actually a bureaucrat tasked by the higher-ups to perform supervision He was also referred to as the administrative director
It wouldn’t be unusual for there to be power struggles for the director position in an institution like Division 13, but the vice-director actually couldn’t be bothered withstill froh his spirit had left his body and was on a tour of the world He was probably even more concerned hat he would have for dinner later on Well, if you consider that his aed with treason, wanting to maintain a low profile was understandable
The director, on the other hand, was a dignified-looking man who co his mind, “Since you want to both cooperate with him and control him, isn’t there a perfect solution? Let’s recruit hi crowd instantly broke up; silence ensued The hardliners stared at the director blankly
What the heck‽
“Absolutely no way!”
“What if Han Xiao’s oes against our secrecy policy!”
The director suddenly bellowed, “We’ll settle it the ays do; we’ll have a vote!”
The conservatives rejoiced Aside from the one neutral minister, each faction had exactly 6 people With the director’s vote, they would most likely win it On the other hand, the hardliners were panicking
Suddenly, the Internal Affairs Ministers spoke, “I think that the logistics department will suit him well Not only will it maximize his usefulness as a mechanic, ill be able to keep him under close watch since he will be inside the headquarters”
He had already resigned himself to the inevitable
For once, the conservatives agreed with hiistics department was indeed the best option as Han Xiao would be confined to the HQ
However, the director suddenly cut in, “Since we are going to n him to the covert ops department!”
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly froze All the ministers turned and looked towards the neutral minister – the covert ops
“Ahhh— eh, what? Me?”
