Today, the soldiers of A City's safe zone are treated to a sight that makes them feel very strange.

"I must have woken up on the wrong side of bed today. If not, how could I be seeing the Boss taking the daily task of sweeping?" Soldier Jia hits the back of his palm against his temple as he gives a strained laugh.

"That's right ah. That's right ah. How can our formidable and peerless Boss be doing something as insignificant as daily assignments? At minimum, he should be taking on S-rank missions that give red points ah!" Soldier Yi nods in firm agreement.

"Is that so..." Soldier Bing blinks in confusion as he stares at his two close friends.

"Naturally ah! Blahblahblah......"

Just as this group of soldiers are chatting and laughing, a bland voice sounds from the side.

"What are you all gathering here for? Are you so free? Since you seem to have nothing to do, then run laps around this safe zone..." Clad in camouflage military attire, an imposing man carrying a broom on one shoulder and biting down on an unlit cigarette quirks an eyebrow as he stares at the soldiers.

Although this individual is very handsome, in the eyes of these soldiers, he is a terrifying being. In a flash, the idle men snap to attention in unison, saluting as one.

"Reporting to senior officer! We are very busy!"

"That's right ah. I need to patrol the perimeter wall."

"I also need to guard the safe zone's outer gates..."

"I need to..."

Sweeping a light glare over the men, Long Zhanye barks, "Then quickly hop to it!!"

"Yes, Sir!"

A chorus of affirmatives and a dust cloud rises as the group dashes away with a 'striving to be the first, fearing to be the last' attitude. For the one who falls behind will be subjected to Long Zhanye's punishment of running laps around the safe zone. Everyone knew the fate of being the unlucky one as all of them are no stranger to their Boss' sadistic penalties.

"Hehe..." A light snicker rises. In this safe zone, the number of people who dare tease Long Zhanye can be counted on one hand. However, the only one whose teasing Long Zhanye is willing to be subjected to and even take delight in is Huo Zaiyuan. "They seem very afraid of you."

"It is called 'being dignified'." Turning around, Long Zhanye's mouth curls up around the cigarette as he looks at the still laughing Huo Zaiyuan.

"Un, very dignified indeed." Staring at the man biting an unlit cigarette and shouldering a broom, Huo Zaiyuan chuckles again before calling out to the soldier supervising the sweepers. "We're done. Please inspect it."

He hands out two cards to the soldier for stamps as soon as the other approaches.

"Yes, yes." The supervisor walks over stiffly, secretly glancing towards Long Zhanye out the corner of his eye. Taking the offered cards, he stamps twice and returns them.

Their remarkable and extraordinary Boss personally swept this floor. Even if there are piles of dead leaves and a thick layer of dirt on the ground, it will still be considered very clean. Nonetheless, this attractive little older brother accompanied their Boss and actually swept this place spotless, so the soldier doesn't hesitate to give them stamps. But even so, respectfully sending off this demon king is his top priority.

Stowing the cards away, Long Zhanye and Huo Zaiyuan depart under the anticipating gazes of the nervous soldiers.

Returning to the 'Missions Hall' and turning in their completed assignment, Long Zhanye asks, "What assignment should we take on next? Tilling the soil, watering crops, moving items, paving, construction or...hmm? Why are you staring at me? Do I have something on my face?"
