"Nonsense!" Qu Jianlei raised a hand and shut the door without another word, "Did the Anomalous Management Division ever send me a silver coin?"
To be fair, the Anomalous Management Division indeed has the authority to requisition local Awakened.
But whether the Awakened are willing to comply is another matter entirely.
This department deals with a lot of secretive affairs, and some Awakened don't like trouble, so they really don't want to get involved with them.
However, if the Anomalous Management Division has a conscription order from top to bottom, then it's an Imperial authority request, and no one can refuse.
But in those cases, it's not members of the government or the military who come with the notification, so how does it relate to the Divine Text Association?
Of course, when things are urgent, exceptions can be made.
However, the Divine Text Association should consider that doing so would risk offending taboo — this organization is already beyond reform!
