552: Chapter 460 Guarantee 552: Chapter 460 Guarantee Li Ruiqi’s eyes flickered with surprise upon hearing Spade’s words, though he asked with a composed demeanor, “What about him?”

With a wave of his hand, Spade projected the combat taking place in the experimental Mecha hangar.

Li Ruiqi and Augustus watched the battle between Slaughter Blade and the fourth-generation Biological Mecha ‘Dark Calamity Apostle’ intently, both were captivated by the fight.

After a long while, the playback of the combat footage ended.

Li Ruiqi and Augustus both drew a sharp breath.

“Such formidable combat skills.”

“Not just formidable, if you asked me to find someone who could match him, I wouldn’t be able to do it off the top of my head.

Probably only Council President Long Ming could manage it.

But I’d almost never heard of this person before, and his sudden emergence makes me suspicious.

The main reason I called you here is to discuss how to deal with this person named Su Mo.

I’ve checked his file and it’s practically empty.”

Spade affirmed Su Mo’s strength, but his eyes revealed much more vigilance.

A hidden threat unsettled him as he considered why such a powerful person suddenly appeared.

What was this powerful individual’s motive for joining the GT Department?

And why display his talents now?

Li Ruiqi also grasped the implication in Spade’s words and after mulling it over, he said, “This person named Su Mo didn’t just appear out of nowhere.

I know him, and it was us who handled his dossier.”

Augustus, with furrowed brows, said, “That name sounds familiar.

I recall that our ability to take down Praying Dragon City had something to do with this person.

But for some reason, he disappeared afterward.

Li Ruiqi, this seems like an internal matter for you, right?”

Li Ruiqi nodded and responded, “Yes, Su Mo has indeed made contributions within the Star Ring World before.

But due to certain reasons and rules, his accomplishments were not reflected.

Personally, I think he’s quite a decent person.”

Spade spoke gravely, “The GT Department is a critical division, and selecting core personnel must be done with extreme caution.

In principle, with Su Mo’s impressive strength and his distinguished service, he should normally be considered for promotion.

However, given our limited understanding of him, let’s hold off for now and keep him on the watch list.”

Augustus agreed, “I think your suggestion is quite good.

It’s not enough to have ability to join the inner core of the GT Department.

We know nothing about him, who knows whether he has ulterior motives or is conspiring to enter the upper echelons.

When a person’s character is inadequate, the greater their ability, the worse it becomes, potentially leading to disaster.

At that point, we should consider how to eliminate that threat.

Although Su Mo is not at that stage yet, he has no complete background and hasn’t undergone rigorous examinations, so we must remain prudent in our approach.”

Li Ruiqi coughed lightly and said, “May I speak a word both of you?”

“Please, speak.”

Spade looked at Li Ruiqi and replied.

“I have a different view.

I think Su Mo is quite alright.

You don’t need to worry too much; his performance within the Star Ring was acceptable.

If you don’t believe me, I can provide his complete dossier for your review.

Also, Su Mo has indeed made a significant contribution this time and he deserves just treatment,” Li Ruiqi explained.

“I’m not suggesting that we ignore his accomplishments.

It’s just that we intend to reward him in a different way.

In this incident, he has indeed made a great contribution, but so have others.

Some even sacrificed themselves to prevent the Mecha rampage.

You can’t say their contributions were insignificant, can you?” Augustus countered.

Spade, meanwhile, fell silent.

He was eager to acknowledge this talent, but the extraordinary performance raised his envy and fear.

After all, even the most powerful weapon becomes a grave problem if it’s unstable.

Li Ruiqi let out a wry smile and responded, “That’s not what I meant, but there are some things I’m uncertain whether I should mention.”

“Go ahead.”

Spade replied calmly.

“Vice Speaker Augustus and Vice Speaker Spade, I understand your concerns.

On one hand, you really fear the issue with Su Mo’s background check, worried that there might be something wrong with him.

But to be frank, you’re more worried about other matters; that the GT Department’s core membership is like a game of musical chairs.

Suddenly with an extra person, a position is lost, and somone has to be eliminated, their matched Mecha divided and distributed.

You can’t keep thinking in the old way.”

“Of course, I also understand it’s not your fault.

Your current system was established that way, driven by capital!

Everyone is chasing their own benefits, and I am aware that your system is heavily influenced by major capital magnates and oligarchs.

When the Federation was established, these entities were absorbed to maintain stability.

A sudden new player will hurt their interests, but sometimes we must look at it from the Federation’s perspective.

We need talent, especially such strong talent,” Li Ruiqi insisted earnestly.

This world is just so pragmatic; no matter your abilities, without a backing, why should anyone use you?

Unless you alone can overturn the rules of the entire world.

But that’s unrealistic.

Reality is cruel and filthy.

People are selfish; of course they will think of their own first.
