Wu Tian, the head of the Resource Department, quickly stepped forward and said, "Lord Shen, what if we violate the orders of our superiors? After all, if many things go unreported, I worry my subordinates might do something that breaks the chain of command."
The Observatory was enormous. A behemoth like this was bound to have its rules and regulations.
No matter how the Observatory was reformed, there would always be restrictions.
This was precisely what they were worried about.
A slight smile touched Shen Bai's lips. "His Majesty sent me to Nanxing Prefecture and gave me full authority over life and death, with no need to report back. Any mistakes you make, I will bear the responsibility. Do you understand now?"
As soon as he said this, Zheng Xing and Wu Tian exchanged a look, and both could see the utter astonishment in the other's eyes.
They quickly concealed their shock, cupped their fists, and said, "We obey your command."
