Once, I wanted to be a good person

And when the first training session ended, Fang Ze would decide whether to continue accepting these commissioners into the next enhancement class based on their performance.

Compared with the previous batch of reserve commissioners, who hadn't graduated and had average family backgrounds, these veteran commissioners had worked for many years and obviously had much more income and savings; they also craved opportunities more intensely.

In these past few days, after witnessing the strength of the trainees from Fang Ze's session, they didn't hesitate at all to pay up in full, and they all earnestly expressed their loyalty to Fang Ze.

This made Fang Ze reflect once again: indeed, the older the "leeks," the more fragrant they are.

Thinking back to his previous batch of new "leeks"—less money, more troubles, and more prone to betrayal.

If it hadn't been for the promotion, he really shouldn't have trained them…

After arranging a time and place for a meeting with these commissioners for after work tomorrow, Fang Ze went to the training center, chose a few instructors to join him for the off-site training.

Following that, he made arrangements for Nan Yi to book the training site outside the city, went to the Personnel Department for approval, visited the General Affairs Department for signatures, and gathered resources, among other tasks.

After a busy afternoon, even Fang Ze's sturdy body felt somewhat exhausted.

But fortunately, he managed to handle the whole process.

Because the entire training plan was approved through a special process, and the background checks on the commissioners were all done in secret.

Thus, not many people in the Security Bureau were aware that Fang Ze had quietly set up the first formal commissioner training class.

And even if some of those who handled it knew about this news, they didn't think much of it.

In their eyes, it was nothing more than Fang Ze's first moves after taking office—simply a chance to make some achievements and expand his influence in the Security Bureau.

Just like that, the day went by quickly.

In the evening, after the Security Bureau ended work, Fang Ze sat quietly alone in his office, where Bai Ling sneaked in. She handed over the concealment treasure she had "borrowed" from her father to Fang Ze.

Along with the concealment treasure, there was also a high-grade defensive treasure.

According to her, after hearing that the superior-grade treasures were taken back by Bai Zhi's family, she became a bit worried.

Thus, while "borrowing" the concealment treasure from her father, she thought that if one item was "borrowed," two could also be "borrowed," so she simply "borrowed" her father's high-grade treasure as well, and lent it to Fang Ze.

Of course, she also reminded Fang Ze to be gentle with it and try not to break it.

If she couldn't return it later, her butt would be on the line with her father.

Seeing her resting her chin in her hands, her big eyes looking at him pitifully and plaintively, Fang Ze couldn't help but smile and then reached out to pat her head.

Indeed... when it comes down to it, Bai Ling always pulls through.

He shouldn't always bully her in the future…

Thinking this, Fang Ze secretly gave the "107 Me's" he had borrowed to Zhixi to Bai Ling to play with after she lingered in his office, refusing to leave, and clamoring to experience that novel toy again.

Seeing Bai tumbling all over the floor, screaming in fright, Fang Ze couldn't help but burst into loud laughter…

After playing for a while with Bai Ling, who was curiously carrying her own head around, he sent her on her way. Then Fang Ze locked his office, preparing for his final experiment tonight.

By now, 24 hours had passed since Fang Ze lent the "Darkness" ability to Bai Ling yesterday. The credit panel refreshed, and Bai Ling successfully reached 1850 credit points. She was now eligible to borrow the Black Panther ability...

Looking at Bai Ling's abilities on the panel, Fang Ze took a deep breath, knowing that tonight might be the decisive moment.

If the "Black Panther" ability worked as expected tonight,

then the last piece of the puzzle for tomorrow's plan to trap and kill Yang Transformation grade would truly be in place…

...

Late at night, when the world was silent, and everything was quiet.

In the office, Fang Ze was still conducting experiments.@@novelbin@@

In front of him stood his clone, Mei, Jun, and the Red Robe he had summoned yesterday.

Yet deep furrows marked his brow.

Because he found that his worst fears had come true…

He had been toiling the whole night, whether letting his clone stab him with a sharp weapon, ordering Mei into action, or allowing the Red Robe to maul him.

The "Black Panther" ability showed no reaction whatsoever.

Even though he had been wounded, even when bitten until his skin split open and flesh was laid bare,

the "Black Panther" gave him no warning.

This gave Fang Ze a bad feeling.

He felt... either this Black Panther ability wasn't as magical as he id imagined,

or the trials he had conducted tonight weren't severe enough to trigger the "Black Panther" response.

If it was the former, then the danger for Fang Ze tomorrow would greatly increase.

If it was the latter... to test this ability tonight, Fang Ze might have to take a risk…

With this thought, after hesitating for a long time, eventually, Fang Ze still decided to attempt a simple rehearsal before proceeding tonight…

With that in mind, he put away the Red Robe and directed Mei and Jun to hide in the nearby shadows to ensure his safety.

Afterward, his true form became a mass of darkness, and he controlled his clone to slowly approach the entrance of the Security Bureau.

Upon reaching the entrance, Fang Ze didn't rush out but continued the experiment himself.

He hid his clone and then maintained his dark state as he stealthily arrived at the entrance of the Security Bureau.

After lurking around the entrance for a while, the "Black Panther" ability still showed no response.

Fang Ze hesitated for a moment, and then, with resolve, started to sneak out along the shadows of the entrance…

This time, perhaps it was an illusion, but Fang Ze keenly felt as though a faint layer of black mist emerged around him.

However, possibly because of the darkness, he couldn't confirm whether the black mist was a result of the ability.

With that in mind, he tried moving away from the Security Bureau by a distance of about forty to fifty meters.

Surprisingly, the black mist suddenly intensified as if indicating an imminent crisis...
