To return to the Upper City, he must achieve merits that draw his family's attention.
Such merit cannot be achieved how well he manages things in the Lower City, like handling the Patrol Office exceptionally well.
These are all futile efforts; even if he manages the Patrol Office in Zone 9 to be the best in the Lower City, it's of no use.
You maintain the order in the Lower City, not the Upper City. What does your merit have to do with the Upper City?
Moreover, he can't possibly achieve it either.
The Special Agent understands this principle very well in his heart.
His status as a Special Agent of the Upper City sounds grand, representing the will of the Upper City, overseeing everything in the Lower City.
But in reality?
It's enough to fool others, but don't deceive yourself.
His power could be great or small, highly flexible.
To some extent, it's infinitely large, but also infinitely small.
