In the ruined building.

Leonard Churchill glanced at the few members of the Silver Moon Sect draped in cloaks, their faces covered and shrouded in mystery.

No one paid any attention to these concealed figures.

He himself was also dressed in a full face mask to prevent poisoning.

But these people had a strong aura.

Leonard was curious about their real identities.

‘Rejoiced in sorrowful wails, overjoyed in shedding blood

Wandering between the shadows of tombs

Pleasure, dreams, the Thousand Faces of the Moon

Staring fondly at your devout believers

This was Leonard¹ s first time attending this kind of meeting of the Old Days

Sect.

He repeated the blessing to a certain god along with the crowd.

Within enlightenment, warnings of faith contamination were being rapidly displayed.

Outsiders could not participate in such gatherings.

Some kind of ceremony was still taking place.

The leader of the Silver Moon Sect chanted a certain Techniques pointing to the black feather floating in mid-air. Meanwhile, a mysterious hexagram Magic Array lit up beneath the feather.

Even though this Magic Array was not an incantation from the card master system, many superior-level magical runes shared common traits. Leonard had carefully read the magic books brought out from the Outpost Battle by Mage Rolan.

He also noticed that these disciples of the Silver Moon Sect seemed to be using the feather to locate the remains of the angel.

He quietly observed everything.

“The tomb of the Mad King, Augustus? Why does it have anything to do with the remains of the Weeping Angel? And, why haven’t 1 been burned by the flame of the Angel’s Feather?”

With so much information, Leonard had a lot of questions on his mind. Thinking about the Angel’s Spirit he carried, he seemed to have cleared up some confusion.

Reuel Bible had mentioned before that the ultimate goal of the Old Days Sect was to revive the Ancient Gods that had disappeared into the dust of history. Judging from the scenario, it seemed that the “Lord of Dreams and Pleasure”, Arachne, had some direct connections with the Taren Dynasty that perished three thousand years ago.

Then, the Weeping Angel seemed to have an inextricable link with the resurrection of the Ancient Gods?

Leonard carefully noted every word spoken at the meeting.

He planned to discuss this matter with Reuel Bible after the meeting.

However, while Leonard was secretly having a meeting with the Silver Moon Believers.

In a room of a bar in Lion City.

Reuel Bible, staring at the muscular man in a black suit before him, blurted out in an irritated manner: “Old Lake, what are you implying?”

As he tried to move, he felt as if he was constrained by an invisible force, unable to budge.

The man in the suit calmly put on his leather gloves, explaining: “Tonight, the bureau plans to launch an operation to round up the Silver Moon Sect. The higher-ups have entrusted me with handling this mission in its entirety, so we don’t need you, old Bible.”

He glanced at Reuel Bible, adding: “05 has been dissatisfied with your continuous failures to extinguish the Old Days Believers. Now those believers are becoming a force to reckon with and the higher-ups are running out of patience. After putting in so much effort in setting up a situation in collaboration with the Lionheart Family, it’s time to completely solve this problem.”

Reuel Bible’s face tightened as he listened: “You…”

He realized the higher-ups in the bureau had bypassed him and set up a plan to close the net.

No one knew the situation of the Silver Moon Sect better than he did. Tapping this information source now was definitely not feasible. If action were to be taken rashly, it would certainly fail.

Now wasn’t the time for debating. He asserted sternly: “The Silver Moon Sect has received some ancient heritages. Just using force to roundup would not entirely eradicate faith contamination! I have already…” Reuel Bible wanted to reveal his plan, but the man in black shook his head before he could finish, proclaiming: “I brought [X-2151 with me.” Reuel Bible’s face changed. Then he realized the source of his colleague’s confidence, and questioned: “Are you planning to use that Disaster Object in Lion City?”

Of course, he knew what that Disaster Object meant. His gaze was filled with gravity, and he yelled: “Do you have any idea how many people could die if that thing gets released!”

Upon hearing this, the man in black appeared indifferent and chuckled: “Old Bible you’ve always been so indecisive. It remains true even now. If we can completely solve this problem, what does it matter if a few people die? Every day, we field agents are at the forefront of danger, dealing with crises that regular people don’t even know about. We can give up even our own lives, why can’t others?”

After a brief pause, his voice became calm but powerful, stating: “Maintaining order… requires bloodshed.”

“You won’t be able to solve it!”

Reuel Bible knew about his old colleague’s brutal ways and tried to stop him, but he also knew that it was impossible.

However, he thought of something even more important. He then yelled angrily: “Besides, there is my informant in there!” He knew all along about the happenings at the Lionheart Family’s party and what Leonard was there for.

Unsurprisingly, Leonard would be with the Silver Moon Sect at that moment. This lead had been tracked for so long, and he already had a rather solid plan in place.

The Silver Moon Sect had wanted to resurrect the Ancient Gods from the beginning.

Simply killing a few believers would not solve the problem of faith contamination at its root.

Reuel Bible had put a lot in place and with Leonard undercover, he had confidence in digging deeper.

They could even completely resolve the issue with the Silver Moon Sect. But now, with the higher-ups of X Bureau intervening, everything he had worked towards would be wasted!
