Return of the Sword God-Rank Civil Servant

Things were progressing smoothly.

It was all thanks to the emergency press conference.

After the press conference, people within the Association both respected and feared Su-ho. He had always been popular, but now, his image was close to that of a "hero," making it impossible for anyone to treat him carelessly.

One of the biggest changes stemming from this was his work environment.

For instance, not only was it impossible to issue unfair orders to him, but if Su-ho proposed something in the interest of the public, rejecting it outright became difficult.

It was precisely the situation Su-ho had wanted.

As a result, many of Jeong Cheol-min's proposed projects were swiftly approved.

One such project was the Infinity training program for the Special Task Force Team 2’s exploration unit.

Naturally, the funding came from Nexus.

Once Kim I-kang, the administrative officer, gave the go-ahead, the support was immediately secured, and an article was published at the same time. Nexus used this as another opportunity to build up its positive image.

– As expected of the industry’s No. 1.
– Nexus made the right call recruiting An Su-ho. Their foresight is insane. LOL
– What are Hexagon and Prime even doing these days?
└ Don’t compare them to those tiny hole-in-the-wall companies.
└ Hexagon and Prime? LOL, third-rate garbage companies.

However, the biggest achievement of all was the Sealed Gate Conquest Project.

After reviewing the project report, Ma Do-won, the head of the Detection Department, furrowed his brows and asked,

"…You're planning to clear a Sealed Gate?"

"Yes, Deputy Team Leader An Su-ho will personally take action."@@novelbin@@

"Right, I figured he would. But he’s not going alone, is he?"

"No, Deputy Team Leader An Su-ho will be tackling it solo."

"What? That’s way too dangerous."

"Bringing team members along would actually be more dangerous. And besides, he and I have conducted a thorough analysis of the gate, so there’s no need to worry too much."

"Wait, Sealed Gates are places that even top-tier guilds have analyzed and given up on. How are just the two of you going to— No, never mind. I’m not about to argue against someone doing good work. I heard you've already cleared two, right?"

"Yes, that’s correct. The Dark Canyon we cleared last time is detailed in the attached report—"

"No, no, that’s fine. I’ll authorize clearance rights for Deputy Team Leader An Su-ho, so he can handle things freely from now on."
