Then let them offer their loyalty!

'Who is it? Who is ruining my plans?'

In the darkness, the suppressed aura erupted.

Upon closer examination, Yan Chen's strength is only slightly inferior to Liu Xiong Yuan's, and almost on par with Tang Fei Fei, and even General Ye Ming Feng.

This is completely inconsistent with people's assessment of his abilities and their perception of him as a "civil official"...

Just then, the door to Yan Chen's study was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Ji Chen stood in the doorway, looking panicked, and said to Yan Chen, "Director! A god has fallen! A god has fallen! An evil god has fallen!"

Ji Chen hadn't finished speaking!

A muffled "boom!"

His head exploded like a watermelon stuffed with firecrackers!

Yan Chen felt a chill run down his spine, his bloodshot eyes coldly fixed on Ji Chen's corpse. He let out a cold snort.

"You unruly brat!"

After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

"He didn't even knock before entering the study!"

Having probably killed someone, Yan Chen's resentment had finally lessened.

His eyes slowly returned to their murky gray, and he regained his expressionless demeanor.

After sitting quietly for two or three minutes, Yan Chen stretched out his aged left hand and gently pressed a button on the table.

A dozen seconds later, several serious-looking detectives strode over.

They glanced at Ji Chen's body lying at the study door, were startled at first, then quickly saluted Yan Chen before beginning to clean up.

One minute later, the blood at the study door and Ji Chen's body were all cleaned up and buried in the backyard garden.

This newly appointed deputy section chief, who had always been jealous of Qiu Tu and had tried several times to make things difficult for him, simply vanished from this world...

Throughout the entire ordeal, Qiu Tu never even glanced at him directly, nor did he ever consider him an enemy....

The study door slowly closed, shutting out the light and leaving only darkness in the room.

Yan Chen leaned wearily against the chair, tilting his head back, his mind slowly working.

After killing Ji Chen and venting his anger, Yan Chen discovered even more problems.

There are many suspicious points surrounding Lariro's demise.

As a fourth-tier evil god, it would have been extremely difficult to kill her if Yan Chen hadn't meticulously planned and tricked her into a trap.

After all, the evil god already possesses advanced intelligence, so even if it fights in the real world and can't win, it can simply run away.

Only by taking advantage of La Riluo's momentary lapse in concentration and using a magic array to forcibly merge her soul with her body, like Yan Chen did, could one truly harm her.

Originally, the "merit" of killing the god was reserved for Yan Chen, but now someone else has taken it. It's obvious that someone had been watching him and La Ri Luo for a long time.

Moreover, even if a fourth-order evil god who escapes to the "Boundless Heart Sea" cannot merge with the original body temporarily, he can still use the power of the original body.

It would take at least three peak-level Tier 3 Cataclysms to possibly deal with it....

Thinking this, Yan Chen's cloudy eyes flickered repeatedly, and several names slowly surfaced in his mind: 'Liu Xiong Yuan... Ye Ming Feng... Tang Fei Fei.......'

Upon thinking of the last name, Yan Chen paused, then shook her head slightly. 'It shouldn't be Tang Feifei. She's setting a trap for me in the Moonlight Forest tonight.'

'so.....'

Thinking of this, Yan Chen hesitated for a moment, 'Wang Hu?'

After identifying the three people who had made the move, Yan Chen's smile became somewhat sinister.

His aged, deep voice echoed in the study, "Fine, fine... Two cities, four major powers joined forces! Just to scheme against me!"

"This strategy is brilliant!"

Thinking this, Yan Chen closed his eyes and began to ponder who had started all of this.

Colonel Wang Hu of the Dongcheng Military Headquarters is a seasoned soldier with a strong rough-and-tumble air. He's always looking for an advantage, but he never actively seeks trouble. It's highly unlikely to be him.

Ye Mingfeng of the New Territories City Military Command is proud and upright, never stooping to any schemes or underhanded tactics. He's driven by a burning passion, and everything he does is kill! Kill! Kill! But it's highly unlikely to be him.

As for Tang Feifei... although she's intelligent, due to her family background, she prefers to use overt strategies and isn't good at using underhanded tactics...

So, all that's left is...

'Yoo Woong-won?'

Thinking of his old rival.

Yan Chen frowned slightly. Liu Xiong Yuan was indeed an unconventional person. Perhaps because of his humble origins, he was ruthless and unscrupulous in his actions, regardless of the consequences.

But to put it bluntly... Yan Chen didn't think Liu Xiong Yuan was the type to use such a complex scheme.

If he had the brains to devise such elaborate schemes, Javi wouldn't have been able to escape for so many years; he would have been forced out long ago.

'Could it be someone else?'

Is some important figure orchestrating this whole affair?

Thinking of this... Yan Chen frowned.

For a full half hour, Yan Chen still couldn't figure out who could get four bureau chiefs to join forces and devise such a complex scheme.

It couldn't be Qiu Tu, could it?

Although Yan Chen also felt that Qiu Tu was somewhat suspicious, it was already quite remarkable that Qiu Tu, a detective from a humble background, could instigate Tang Feifei to stage a "coup."

He was going to act as a go-between, getting four high-ranking officials at the bureau chief level to work for his plan? Yan Chen thought it was highly unlikely...

Especially since... Tang Feifei's relationship with Liu Xiong Yuan and Ye Ming Feng was only so-so, she couldn't introduce Qiu Tu. What made Qiu Tu so special that he gained the trust of those three high-ranking officials?

Even if Tang Feifei avenged Liu Xiong Yuan's son and gained Liu Xiong Yuan's favor, the merit of killing the evil god is immense. Why didn't Tang Feifei participate herself instead of letting the other three benefit from it?

Isn't this just doing all the work for someone else?

Because of the false information provided by Qiu Tu, Yan Chen was clearly unaware of the relationship between Qiu Tu and Liu Xiong Yuan.

It was precisely the lack of this crucial piece of information that caused him to inadvertently miss the truth...

However, although it was unclear who was behind it, Yan Chen's vigilance was at its highest.

He was completely plunged into darkness, pondering how to resolve this predicament...

......

At this time.

Inside Tang Feifei's villa.

Qiu Tu was holding Tang Feifei's wheat-colored body in his arms, and was secretly communicating with Liu Xiong Yuan.

On the other end of the communicator, Liu Xiongyuan was clearly having a blast. He could barely contain his smile on his dark face.

He laughed loudly, then said, "Qiu Tu! You're a fucking genius!"

"They actually managed to calculate everything to this extent!"

"You have no idea how interesting Ye Mingfeng and Wang Hu's faces were when they found out that Yan Chen had really broken the domain and released La Riluo!"

"Besides, you've never fought an evil god. You can't imagine how difficult it is to deal with their endless tricks and ever-changing abilities!"

"If they use heavy firepower directly, it will be fine, but if we have to deal with it ourselves, it will be a huge headache!"

At this point, Liu Xiongyuan changed the subject and said with a smile, "But today is different! La Riluo's consciousness was locked in that clone by Yan Chen. She was also devoured by Yan Chen for three or four days, and has already become extremely weak."

"Therefore, she can only exert about 30 or 40% of her full strength. She is no match for the three of us at all."

"So they were killed by us in no time!"

At this point, Liu Xiongyuan said with a smug look, "This is god-slaying! Only a handful of people in the entire Eighth Sanctuary have achieved this feat!"

"I've achieved it today!"

Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's excited words, Tang Feifei's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration.

She herself was a martial artist and actually longed for a battle where she could fight an evil god on equal terms.

Previously, she was so engrossed in Qiu Tu's intricately linked schemes that she neglected the battle to slay the evil god!

Hearing Liu Xiongyuan's words, the yellow tinge in her eyes became hard to suppress.

At this moment, Qiu Tu seemed to notice her unusual behavior and slapped her wheat-colored buttocks.

Perhaps due to her martial arts training, Tang Feifei's buttocks are perky and bouncy.

So when you tap it, it feels great to the touch.

Tang Feifei frowned, and like a female leopard, she suddenly looked at Qiu Tu, a dangerous glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Clearly... although her relationship with Qiu Tu is getting better and better, her dignity cannot be disrespected by Qiu Tu in this way.

Qiu Tu had originally intended to test Tang Feifei, but seeing how sensitive she was, he quickly pointed to the receiver, indicating that this was not the time to joke around.

Then he coughed and said to Liu Xiong Yuan with a serious expression, "Director Liu, don't get excited yet."

"Actually... there was another reason why I sent the three of you to snipe Lariro."

"However, I didn't tell you because I felt that the probability of Yan Chen bravely cutting off his own arm was not that high, only 60%; and I wasn't sure if the three of you could kill La Riluo. So... I didn't tell you."

In Liu Xiongyuan's mind, Qiu Tu is now seen as a strategist who can devise plans and make decisions.

So, upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, he immediately stopped smiling, suppressed his excitement, and became serious again.

He asked, "What is it?"

Qiu Tu said calmly, "Director, ever since I last met you, I've felt that we get along very well."

"Especially since you personally introduced me to Mr. Wang, I can feel your loving care for me even more."

"So when I got home that night, I kept thinking: Is there anything I can do for you? Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"At that moment, I remembered what Elder Wang had said on the communicator. He said he was still trying to secure the position of vice speaker for you. Although the chances were slim, he told you not to give up easily."

"At the time, I thought, could I help you compete for the position of vice speaker?"

"Because I thought of the position of vice speaker, I couldn't help but think of Yan Chen."

"At that moment, I felt a light in my eyes: Yan Chen could advance to the fourth-tier Cataclysm and become the vice chairman by killing the evil god."

"If you also kill the evil god and advance to the pseudo-fourth-tier cataclysm, wouldn't Huang Shangzong be unable to deny you anymore?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused for a moment, then said, "Although I don't know if you can advance to the pseudo-fourth-tier Cataclysm, I've already killed the Evil God for you."

"Could you perhaps offer other benefits to General Ye and Colonel Wang in exchange for the credit for this slaying of the evil god entirely in your name?"

"Whether you can advance to a pseudo-fourth-tier Cataclysm is your problem."

"I believe that after Lariluo's fall, she must have left behind a lot of cataclysmic materials, and you have accumulated even more over the years than Yan Chen. Advancing to pseudo-fourth rank is not impossible, is it?"

At this point, Qiu Tu paused and said, "Of course, you definitely know more about these things than I do."

"It's all up to you."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's words, both Tang Feifei, who had just been glaring at Qiu Tu like a female leopard, and Liu Xiongyuan on the other end of the phone were stunned.

They were all stunned by Qiu Tu's audacious plan!

Yan Chen advanced to the pseudo-fourth rank by slaying evil gods, which would allow him to become the vice-chairman.

Liu Xiongyuan was already designated as the vice speaker, but was vetoed by the speaker, Huang Shangzong.

If Liu Xiong Yuan were to slay the evil god on his own now and also advance to the pseudo-fourth rank, could Huang Shang Zong still reject Liu Xiong Yuan and withstand the pressure?

Would the entire leadership of the shelter really disregard a capable person like Liu Xiongyuan, who has the qualifications, ability, merit, and strength, just because of Huang Shangzong's personal likes or dislikes?

Moreover, while Huang Shangzong is a high-ranking official at the shelter, so is Elder Wang. Liu Xiongyuan also has powerful connections and influence within the shelter.

As long as there's a breakthrough, it's not impossible for him to regain the position of vice speaker!

"A genius..."

Liu Xiongyuan on the other end of the phone sighed softly.

But perhaps because this matter was so important, he was not as excited or arrogant as before.

He said to Qiu Tu with utmost calmness, "Qiu Tu, I will remember this great favor."

"Now, I'm going to talk to Lao Ye and Hu Zi."

"I believe they are still willing to give me this face."
