Starry Sky Railway: No one understands the Amber King better than me.

As soon as Serena finished speaking, the room fell silent.

Silence does not signify approval; the clamor quickly grew louder and spread throughout the room.

"Who is this Lin Yuan? What's his background?"

Seeing Lin Yuan calmly stand up after being called out, someone couldn't help but ask a question.

"Did I hear that right? A P24 level officer can be a captain? Why? I could do that too!"

First came voices of confusion, then a chorus of doubts arose.

Although some people were dissatisfied with the previous team leaders, their supervisory positions left many elites who were still struggling to reach the P25 level with little room to say anything.

But now, a special case has emerged.

If Lin Yuan can become a captain with his P24 level, why can't I?

Discussions, questions, and some emotionally charged voices created a wave of heated debate.

The other ministers all cast various glances at Lin Yuan.

As members of the management team, they all knew why Lin Yuan was chosen as the team captain.

At this moment, some of them were indifferent, some were concerned, some showed expressions of watching the show, and one curious gaze kept lingering on Lin Yuan, wanting to see his reaction.

How did Lin Yuan react at this moment?

He remained calm and composed, unaffected by the murmurs and discussions below the stage.

He simply looked toward the podium and waited quietly for the next steps.

However, the crowd was initially intimidated by the authority of the minister and other leaders and did not voice their opinions directly.

But seeing Lin Yuan's reaction at this moment made some of the already resentful people even angrier.

Sometimes, being ignored is the greatest contempt, as it represents a denial of your personal value, which is unbearable for some proud and arrogant people.

"Report, I have a complaint!"

A young figure stood up from the back seat and spoke loudly to Lin Yuan and the podium.

"What are your opinions?"

Minister Serena, who had already sat down, spoke calmly.

“I don’t think it’s unfair. Over the years, I have risked my life for the company and even put myself in dangerous situations many times, making great contributions.”

Why can't I get this opportunity? I was just one step away from P25. Is it because I don't have connections? I beg you to give us a fair chance to compete!

Hearing the young voice, Lin Yuan turned his head with some interest.

This speech gives off a "protagonist's overpowered protagonist" vibe.

"..."

Minister Serena's expression turned slightly displeased upon hearing the other party's words.

It's fine that you questioned Lin Yuan in public, but you shouldn't have said that last sentence.

Does this mean that everyone was selected based on personal relationships rather than talent? This raises serious questions about the entire branch's selection system and its fairness!

Just as Serena was about to lash out, the white-haired woman beside her suddenly spoke up:

"Minister Serena, let me explain this to everyone."

Upon hearing the woman speak, Serena's previously somewhat gloomy expression subtly changed.

She calmly glanced to the side and nodded slightly, then said nothing more.

"About Lin Yuan...?"

The white-haired woman's voice wasn't loud, but its melodious, flowing sound clearly reached everyone's ears.

The previously agitated atmosphere suddenly calmed down.

Lin Yuan felt this soothing power and his heart stirred.

With his perspective, he could naturally see that this was the influence of fate.

"Before I explain the issue, let me introduce myself. My name is Ai Bai, and I am a special envoy from the Pierpoint headquarters. You can call me by my name, or just Envoy Bai."

The White Envoy's voice was soothing and pleasant to listen to.

"I am delighted to be here at the Tver branch and to work with such excellent colleagues."

As she spoke, she performed a greeting commonly used within the company for everyone present.

Upon hearing that the other party was from headquarters, everyone's initial doubts and curiosity turned into respect.

An envoy from headquarters, whose rank is clearly higher than Minister Bilesi's.

Upon seeing the other party take the initiative to bow, everyone quickly returned the greeting in the same manner.

"I see."

Lin Yuan had previously guessed about his identity, and now he was certain that this person was not only a special envoy from headquarters, but also a Destiny Walker.

"The main purpose of my visit to the Tver branch is to inspect the pilot project of 'Operation Sunrise,' and I'm also here for someone."

As Ai Bai spoke, her beautiful eyes turned to Lin Yuan.

"Perhaps many people don't know yet, but our Tver branch has a new [Preservation] Pathfinder."

Headquarters has passed a resolution that Lin Yuan's rank will be directly promoted to P29. I think that should give you an explanation.

Ai Bai's eyes flickered as she looked at the young man who had just stood up and was questioning her.

"This...this."

The latter, like most of the employees present, was shocked by the astonishing news that had just been delivered.

But because of his pride and desire to save face, he couldn't just accept it so easily.

"The destined traveler of [Preservation], so that's how it is. But why is this world so unfair... Don't ordinary people have this opportunity?"

After a long pause, the young man, as if he had just finished processing the news, murmured.

He was somewhat incredulous and dejected.

A difference in status can be worth more than decades or even half a lifetime of hard work.

Seeing this, Ai Bai blinked her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to say something.

But at that moment, Lin Yuan's voice rang out coldly.

"Some people feel inferior when faced with the achievements of others, and feel humbled when faced with the qualifications of others. But when faced with real strength, they start to make a lot of noise."

It seems some people are still unaware. Power is strength.

Lin Yuan's voice was calm, and his gaze was indifferent.

But those who met his gaze couldn't help but tremble and lower their heads.

"In that case, let me show you why choosing based on strength is the fairest approach."

As Lin Yuan spoke, he gently opened his palm.

A purple-gold light began to gradually emerge on it.

......

Chapter 40 Divine Might Like the Sun

"Those who enjoy the treatment and power of a captain should naturally bear the corresponding responsibilities. If a person's strength is insufficient to match his position, he will only bring shame upon himself."

A purple-gold light gradually emerged from Lin Yuan's hand, illuminating his handsome face.

As he said this, he shifted his gaze from the light and then swept it over the four captains mentioned earlier.

Faced with Lin Yuan's gaze, some people snorted disdainfully, some remained silent, and some even nodded in deep agreement.

"So in my opinion, it's fair that the person with the strength becomes the captain. As for your question about why the Fate Walker can skip levels directly, words may not do it justice, but I can give you a chance to experience it for yourself."

As Lin Yuan spoke, the light in his hand suddenly changed.

The purplish-gold energy gradually gathered in the palm of his hand, and the phantom of an energy point slowly began to take shape.

"Those with real ability have the right to express their opinions, and my team welcomes such strong individuals. But if you're just someone who's loud, I suggest you join another organization."

Lin Yuan's words end here; facts speak louder than words.

At this moment, he did not simply and calmly demonstrate the power of "preservation" as he had during the hearing.

After this period of training and learning, and the ignition of the furnace mesh, Lin Yuan is now about to demonstrate the terrifying power that belongs to his destiny.

The purplish-gold phantom quietly condensed and finally materialized in Lin Yuan's palm.

The moment the point of light appeared, the employees who had been observing Lin Yuan suddenly retreated in horror. Some even tripped over those next to them.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling of unease arose in their hearts, and their entire bodies involuntarily wanted to get away from Lin Yuan's location.

It's like a life encountering its natural enemy; this is the instinctive suppression between different levels of life.

At this moment, the purple-gold light spots were simply burning, but their light seemed to become a medium.

Those who were initially curious about the reactions of those who retreated in terror were all cast a heavy shadow over their hearts upon seeing this light. This is the kind of reaction people have when facing extreme danger.

"Wow, this power."

Not far away, Willridge stood up, looked at the distant point of light, steadied himself, and sighed, gently shielding the pale-faced black-haired woman behind him.

"...the power of destiny."

The Earthly Element Xiu Ping in the front row narrowed his eyes. He ignored the fearful expression of the Earthly Element Zhong Yi beside him and just muttered to himself.

The trigger for all of this was that young man who raised the question.

At this moment, Lin Yuan only displayed a point of light in his palm, but cold sweat began to appear on his body. A sense of tension and oppression made his body tremble uncontrollably.

The point of light seemed to draw his gaze in, gradually growing larger in his field of vision.

Finally, as the light gradually transformed into a sun, he also felt waves of heat constantly scorching and burning him, and he began to fall into the sun.

A terrifying, invading force began to affect him.

"No, don't come any closer."
