Monitoring Bureau.
Two groups of people stood opposite each other, in a tense standoff.
The ones wearing deep gray military uniforms with a flaming pattern over the chest were members of the Flame-Bathed Legion, one of the Empire's three great legions. These were the Personal Guard of Qin Jianyi.
Blocking their way were those in black sword-and-sabre uniforms covered with black cloaks, the Security Department of the Monitoring Bureau, commonly referred to as "black dog skins."
Director Zhao Zhenji, holding his hat, strode outside, cursing under his breath, "Motherfucker, I've worked at the Monitoring Bureau for most of my life, and this is the first time I've seen someone surround our place."
"These fools really have no idea how vast the heavens and the earth are. If we don't take them all down today, they won't know how many eyes Lord Ma has."
"Director, it's the Flame-Bathed Legion... Qin Jianyi's Personal Guard," Deputy Director Wei Jun reminded softly.
