Tieshan nodded slightly, signaling her to continue. His fingers, which had been clenching repeatedly at his sides, now hung steadily, indicating that he had begun to switch from the role of husband back to that of director-general, ready to listen to important intelligence.

Tieshan even took the mask back with him, and in that instant, the man went from being a good husband back to being the director of the bureau.

"There are more than 200,000 people who came back from the Fama Continent with me this time." Miao Yu's voice was clear and steady. After all, she was a person who had served as the chairman of the Shabak Guild. In terms of status, she was not necessarily inferior to her husband, who now held a high position of power.

“They went through so much over there, and now they’ve returned to a strange world, filled with anxiety. Everyone…everyone trusts me and unanimously elected me as their representative to contact the authorities as soon as they return. That’s why I’ve come to you, Tieshan…”

She looked at him, her eyes filled with a complex mix of earnestness and a hint of teasing about their changed status, "...I'd like to consult with you, the top leader of the General Administration, about the procedures for the resettlement and arrangements of these more than 200,000 people."

She paused for a moment, observing the reaction under Tieshan's helmet. Although she couldn't see his expression, she could feel that his aura had instantly become more solemn.

More than 200,000 people—that’s a huge number that would be a challenge for any organization.

The director pondered for a moment. This was not an easy matter to resolve. These two hundred thousand people were not ordinary people; they were all powerful superhumans. If handled well, they would be a valuable asset to the Dragon Kingdom and even to all of humanity. If handled poorly, they would cause huge problems.

Upon hearing this, the Director-General's body, which had remained as immovable as a mountain, finally twitched slightly.

He didn't respond immediately, but fell into a brief silence. The air in the reception room seemed to freeze with his silence, leaving only Miao Yu's slightly rapid breathing and the guards' even more intently watching him.

Iron Mountain's tall figure stood with his back to the light, his faceplate appearing even colder in the shadows, like a silent iron statue. His gaze, beneath his helmet, seemed to pierce the air, as if he were calculating the countless possibilities brought about by the influx of over two hundred thousand people on an invisible sand table.

This charter is not easy to obtain!

More than 200,000 powerful professionals...

If this force can be successfully guided and integrated, it will be an unprecedented strategic resource for the nation. Their experience, abilities, and even the knowledge they may bring from other worlds will have immeasurable value for the Dragon Kingdom and even all of humanity in dealing with unknown crises.

This is undoubtedly a "valuable asset".

Conversely, if any link in the chain is handled improperly, the consequences could be equally disastrous.

Cultural clashes, mismanagement, abuse of power... If more than 200,000 individuals with extraordinary powers were to get out of control or be exploited by those with ulterior motives, their destructive power would be catastrophic.

This potentially enormous problem is enough to keep any decision-maker up at night.

This group of people is struggling to survive in another world on the verge of destruction. Their mindset, their organizational structure, and their understanding of "rules" are inevitably incompatible with this peaceful world. Integrating them into the existing social system will be extremely difficult.

The director remained silent for a moment, then slightly turned his heavy mask toward his desk.

He strode forward and walked steadily behind the table, his movements no longer showing the trembling he had felt during the embrace, regaining the absolute composure befitting a person in a superior position.

He opened a drawer and took out a neatly bound document with the word "Top Secret" printed in striking red on the cover.

The document wasn't particularly thick, but it felt incredibly heavy in my hand.

He walked back to Miaoyu, and instead of handing it to her directly, he gently placed the document on the coffee table between them, making a soft "thud".

On the metal tabletop, the document with black and white text on white paper appeared particularly solemn.

"This is a preliminary plan."

The director's voice came through the helmet, steady and clear, with an unquestionable official tone, but upon closer listening, it seemed to carry a subtle hint of solemnity compared to usual.

"This was drafted urgently by me, the top leadership, and a team of experts in the relevant fields in the shortest possible time. Here's a brilliant idea for you to see."

Miaoyu's gaze shifted from Tieshan's mask to the document. She took a deep breath, suppressed the lingering excitement in her heart, and reached out with a slightly trembling hand to pick up the document.

The paper feels real, with the smoothness and slight coolness characteristic of modern industrial products.

She opened the cover, and what came into view was clear Song typeface, with the title directly pointing to the core issue—"Interim Measures for the Identification of the Identity and Initial Settlement Management of Personnel Returning from the Mainland of Fama (Draft)".

Her gaze swept across the lines one by one:

"Article 1: Identity Verification. All persons confirmed to have returned from the Fama Continent, regardless of their original nationality, shall be granted official citizenship of the Dragon Kingdom upon registration and verification, and shall enjoy all the rights and obligations of Dragon Kingdom citizens in accordance with the law..." Upon seeing this, Miaoyu felt a slight sense of relief. This was the most basic and crucial definition, giving everyone a clear sense of belonging.

At least they treat you like one of their own, which is a prerequisite for keeping people's hearts at ease.

"Article Two: Willingness to Stay or Leave. Based on obtaining citizenship of the Dragon Kingdom, individual wishes will be fully respected. Returnees may voluntarily choose to stay and settle in the Dragon Kingdom; if any returnee wishes to go to another country that has expressed a clear willingness to accept them, the Dragon Kingdom will provide necessary assistance after verification and will communicate and coordinate with their home country or intended country..." This article reflects humanity and respect, and Miaoyu nodded.

Here, you are free to come and go. If you don't want to stay, we won't force you!

Article 3: Integration and Management (within the territory of the Dragon Kingdom). Those who voluntarily remain in the Dragon Kingdom will, in principle, be included in the national special talent management system.

Based on individual abilities, expertise, and willingness, priority will be given to recommending candidates for positions in high-powered departments such as the military, police, national security, and emergency management, as well as related research institutions.

The state guarantees their corresponding rank, salary, benefits, and social security, and provides transitional housing. Their special abilities must serve the interests of the state and the people within the framework of national laws and regulations…

Miao Yu frowned slightly upon seeing this. This almost brought everyone under the system, but considering the special nature of this group, it seemed to be the safest, most effective, and easiest way to manage them.

With such great abilities, why don't you serve your country? Then, my friend, what do you want? Are you still dreaming of "a great man is born between heaven and earth, how can he live under someone else's thumb for long"?

No way!

It's not a given that I'm nice to you! You have to follow our rules here!

Integrating someone into the system is the best way to ensure they follow the rules! No matter how capable a person is, once they enter a certain social class, they are like a donkey that has been tethered.

The kind of social circle you belong to will inevitably influence you and make you conform to it.

No one is an exception.
