"You are late!" That was the first thing Ira said when they met in the Starter City.

She was not alone, there were five people with her. Two men and three women. They were the Admin Helpers that Ira chose for him.

Tang Shaoyang recognized one of the women, Agnes. It was a surprise to see Agnes here. He thought Ira would not get Agnes into the team.

He scanned the other four: two humans and two beastmen. It was the tiger beastmen and elephant beastmen. This was the first time he saw the beastmen of the elephant version.

The long snout and two long ivories made the beastmen easy to identify. The elephant beastmen had a big build, covered with thick hide, and his eyes looked like a stone.

"I will trust you once more. Let's add them to the team and get ready for the mission."

He was so happy right now because of Tang Xiulan. That was why he was late to this meeting.

After giving a quick observation to the five, he did not want to do the short interview. There was no need to make things awkward in front of her friends. He would assess them during the mission. It was not too late to kick them out of the team after the mission.

Ira was stunned, her right eye twitched. She shook her head and was not going to question her Boss. The boss seemed in a good mood, and she did not want to ruin it. It was better to make the boss happy all the time.

Ira's friends exchanged glances, but none of them said anything either. There was no conversation or even introduction. It looked like Tang Shaoyang did not care that much about that as they got into the Administrator Space.

Ira seemed familiar with the Administrator as she guided the team to the location. There was a short briefing before the mission. She guided the team to this place.

As they made their way into the hall, everyone's attention was on them. It was the last six hours before the mission. They were the last team to arrive.

Ira led them to the small unoccupied space, a long table with a long chair. It was similar to a canteen table. They sat on the table, and his Admin Helpers were quite nervous.

These people did not bother to hide their gaze. They openly observed Tang Shaoyang and his team. It was understandable since Tang Shaoyang's team was the smallest team in the room. One Administrator and six Admin Helpers. The fact that Tang Shaoyang was the only Administrator on the team was enough to be the center of attention.

The other teams averaged around thirty to forty members in the team. While most of them were filled with Admin Helpers, they would have more than one Administrator.

Ira left to get the document, the details for the special mission in the front. Tang Shaoyang did not shy away from those gazes. He also observed the other teams, trying to see if there were familiar faces.

His team was supposed to be eight members, but Castor had not accepted his invitation. It said the invitation was still pending, awaiting the response from Castor.

'It's rare that these people did not pick a fight against me.'

The thought crossed his mind. When he was usually in this kind of place. People would come to him to make trouble out of nothing.

"Ah, I jinxed it…" He muttered as he saw a male human with long black hair standing up from the chair. The man headed to his table. His instinct told him that this man was coming for him.

The five admin helpers had not noticed it since they did not dare to look at other administrators. Only when they heard Tang Shaoyang's voice did the five of them look at where Tang Shaoyang looked.

Tang Shaoyang's guess was spot on. The long-haired man approached their table, "What do we have here, guys? A team with just one administrator and six Admin Helpers? Who let this lousy team join in a big mission like this?"

Tang Shaoyang did not respond to the man, he just looked at the long-haired man like the others. It was as if he did not know that his team was the man talked about.

Bang!

That was enough to piss the long-haired man. He slammed the table and raised his voice, "I am talking about you and your team, newbie! Don't you have any shame? How dare you join a special mission!?" He looked straight at Tang Shaoyang.

Looking uninterested, Tang Shaoyang looked away from the long-haired man. He completely ignored the man.

At this moment, Ira returned with a scroll in her hand. She glanced at the long-haired man, and then she looked at Tang Shaoyang, "Your friend?"

Tang Shaoyang shrugged, "Don't know. I heard a dog barking, but I didn't see the dog. This Administrator Space is quite mysterious."

The long-haired man's aura burst out. He was about to hit Tang Shaoyang, but a voice interrupted, "Get back here, Durman! Remember where you are!"

The first stopped halfway. They were in the Administrator Space. They were not allowed to fight here, or they would be punished. The long-haired man, Durman realized that immediately when his team leader called him.

"Shoo Shoo! Your owner is calling you, go back." Tang Shaoyang kept provoking Durman, expecting the latter would hit him. He did not mind getting hit once.

However, Durman held back while gritting his teeth before returning to his team. He planned to humiliate Tang Shaoyang, but he was the one who was humiliated instead.

Ira returned to her seat and looked at Tang Shaoyang, "I don't know you are quite cool-headed. I thought you would kill that guy."

"Will you kill the dog that barked at you on the street," He replied as if it was something obvious. His voice was loud enough that Durman could hear it.

Ira shrugged and pushed the scroll toward Tang Shaoyang, "This is the details of the abandoned world! It contains most of the types of calamity in that world. There are still some unidentified calamities as well."

Tang Shaoyang raised his eyebrow, "Aren't you supposed to brief me instead?"

Ira took back the scroll, "I thought you wanted to read yourself. I remember someone said to me that he could not trust me anymore."

"Then you will not be here if that's the case."

They stayed in the hall for the remaining few hours until their departure. Aside from giving the Administrators the details about the abandoned world. This event was supposed to make the Administrators get to know each other for the mission.

However, the Administrators used this occasion to show off. Ninety percent of Administrators and Admin Helpers stayed together with their team. A few of them mingled with the other team, just a few.

[Get ready to depart to Osmanduro!] The Smart AI, Adam reminded everyone.

Right after the reminder, the door opened as a man in a black tunic entered the hall. The moment this man entered the hall, everyone stood up from their seats except for Tang Shaoyang.

The man looked like in his mid-thirties with a thick beard and mustache. The man glanced toward Tang Shaoyang's direction. That was the first he did as soon as he entered the hall. The man smiled at Tang Shaoyang before proceeding toward the front hall.

Everyone caught the man's smile for Tang Shaoyang. While no one said anything, they were surprised.

"Why didn't you stand up and give proper respect!? He is The Executive Administrator who will lead the special mission. He is Executive Administrator Arion!" Ira immediately called Tang Shaoyang out.

Even though he did not know who entered the hall, at least, he should follow the others when everyone stood up.

Tang Shaoyang furrowed his brow when he heard the name. It was too familiar, someone he knew.

"Arion is a common name, right?" He muttered in a low voice. Then he remembered what Arion said before.

Arion once said that he would know when Tang Shaoyang got into the God Realm. If Arion was the Executive Administrator, it was possible.

"Do you know Executive Arion!?" Ira was surprised when she heard and immediately asked in a low voice. She created an invisible barrier to ensure no one listened to them.

"I know someone named Arion. He helped me in the last stage trial. How do you think I can get rid of their vision of me?" When mentioning the last part, he looked at Agnes.

Agnes should know what he talked about, and of course, Ira and the people behind her should also know that.

Ira and her friends were shocked to hear that. Executive Arion was capable of doing what Tang Shaoyang said. The Executive Administrator was more capable in fact. Arion could intervene directly and stop the trial if he wanted.

"But I don't know if it's the same Arion. I never met the man in person. But I should be able to recognize his voice."

Ira turned off the barrier and looked at the front hall where the Executive Arion was. A short speech before departing for their mission.

"Thank you to the teams who decide to take the risk by accepting the special mission…"

"He is the same Arion!"
