I traverse America, using holy light to quell American terror!

Kaplan, sitting in the car, glanced at Li Yuan, seemingly guessing his worries.

He patted Li Yuan on the shoulder and explained softly:

"I hope you don't mind, this is just to ensure everyone's safety."

"I understand."

Li Yuan nodded, after all, the Brotherhood was a secret organization.

Then he asked with some curiosity:

"Since you're so cautious, why did you reveal everything about the Brotherhood to me?"

As he spoke, Li Yuan leaned back and smiled at Kaplan, saying:

"Aren't you afraid I'll go and seek refuge with the church?"

Kaplan chuckled and shook his head, saying confidently:

"With your skills, the church definitely won't tolerate you."

"Besides, what can the church give you? A certificate of honor and a small medal?"

After Kaplan finished speaking, he couldn't help but throw his head back and burst into laughter.

After a moment, Kaplan, having calmed down, stared at Li Yuan and said in a deep voice:

"And what we can give you is far more than you can imagine!"

Li Yuan nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, a greedy glint in his eyes.

However, he sneered to himself:

"There's no such thing as a free lunch. These guys just want to use my abilities to disgust the church."

Soon, the car arrived at Charlie's tailor shop.

The owner, Charlie, had been waiting at the store entrance for quite some time.

Seeing Li Yuan push open the door and come in, he quickly stepped forward and said:

"Sir, please follow me. Your clothes have been prepared."

Li Yuan nodded and followed Charlie into the fitting room.

In the quaintly decorated fitting room,

He was wearing a well-tailored silver-gray suit and a white shirt.

There was also a pair of exquisitely crafted leather shoes placed next to it.

Li Yuan raised his hand and put the clothes and shoes into his spatial storage.

He simply changed into the suit trousers provided by the tailor shop.

Then, with a thought, he transformed his clothes and shoes into the appearance prepared in the shop.

After doing all this, Li Yuan slowly walked to the mirror and straightened his shirt collar.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth:

"Let's see what happens tonight."

At 7 p.m., Kaplan brought Li Yuan to the manor where the party was being held.

Li Yuan had no idea where the driver had taken him.

Because the entire rear window was covered by a black film.

Li Yuan mentally estimated the travel time and felt that they were not far from Pennsylvania.

As the black film slowly descended, Li Yuan was able to see the scene outside.

He looked around and noticed that, apart from the large manor and dense woods nearby,

There were no other buildings in sight.

Li Yuan muttered to himself:

"That's probably the advantage of a sparsely populated area; it's easy to find completely deserted places."

At this moment, Li Yuan noticed that

Kaplan, who was beside Bruce, suddenly slipped from his grasp.

He took a ram's head mask that partially covered his face and put it on.

Li Yuan asked in confusion:

"We have to wear masks?"

"Hehe, you don't need to wear one. Only those who are permitted to join the group can wear masks."

Kaplan glanced at Li Yuan and said with a light laugh:

"After tonight, you should be eligible to wear it."

After the waiter opened the car door, Li Yuan followed Kaplan out of the car.

At this moment, the magnificent banquet hall was packed with people.

The members, wearing masks, gathered in twos and threes, raising their glasses and chatting.

He would glance at the unmasked candidates from time to time, his eyes full of amusement.

Those who weren't wearing masks were mostly filled with anxiety.

I stood nervously in the corner, waiting for the person who recommended me to call me.

When Li Yuan walked into the hall

Instantly, all eyes in the room were drawn to him.

There's no other reason than that Li Yuan's temperament is too unique.

He showed none of the nervousness or stage fright that the other candidates displayed.

Instead, he looked relaxed, with one hand in his pocket.

He casually picked up a drink from the waiter's tray, took a sip, and curiously looked around.

He also glanced back at the directions in which those eyes were directed at him.

"These men and women are acting quite mysteriously; most of them are wearing masks."

Li Yuan mentally complained, then secretly estimated the number of people:

"Hmm, I should have enough supplies."

At that moment, he suddenly noticed that

Those who weren't wearing masks were all accompanied by a well-dressed young man, both male and female.

Li Yuan glanced at Kaplan beside him and asked in a low voice:

"What's going on? Did they bring their family to freeload a meal?"

Kaplan chuckled and then explained the reason to Li Yuan.

"Li Yuan, you should know that most of the members of the Brotherhood are either rich or powerful."

Seeing Li Yuan nod slightly, Kaplan continued:

"But some people who are not so rich or powerful, but still want to enter this circle, have to pay a special price."

As he spoke, Kaplan glanced at Li Yuan and said:

"Of course you don't need to. It's a great honor for the Brotherhood to have you join."

Just as the two were speaking,

Several women gathered together slowly walked towards Li Yuan.

They giggled and surrounded them, saying:

"Handsome young man, who recommended you? How about we have a good chat later?"

Some of them even went so far as to reach out and touch Li Yuan's chest.

Kaplan, standing by, chuckled and playfully defused the situation:

"Alright, alright, you crazy women, go find your young heartthrobs and stop getting in my way."

"You old hag, you're really annoying."

Upon hearing this, the women cursed under their breath and left dejectedly.

As she walked, she cast alluring glances at Li Yuan.

Li Yuan pouted in annoyance and complained to Kaplan:

"This party doesn't seem very proper."

At this moment, a serious and powerful voice rang in Li Yuan's ears:

"The first half was alright, but the second half is hard to say."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan turned his head and saw a tall figure.

A black-haired man with a cold expression was standing beside him.

He stared intently at Li Yuan for a moment.

Suddenly, he smiled, extended his hand, and said:

"Hello, Mr. Li Yuan, I am Charles."

"Hello, Mr. Charles."

Li Yuan, suddenly realizing what was happening, smiled and shook hands with him:

"Nice to meet you."

At this moment, another elderly man, unusually short, also extended his hand towards Li Yuan.

He introduced himself as follows:

"Horace, the owner of the Dolphin Hotel."

"Hello there."

Li Yuan bowed and shook hands with Horace, inwardly thinking:

'This stingy old man does match my expectations.'

After greeting the two men, Kaplan turned to them and said:

"You all accompany Mr. Li around here for a while, I'll go and have a chat with the Prophet."

After saying that, he waved to Li Yuan.

He walked alone toward the red door at the end of the banquet hall.

Having heard Kaplan's explanation, Li Yuan's eyes widened immediately, and he asked curiously:

"Did those prophets live that long?"

"Hehe, how could that be? After all, they are human too."

Charles shook his head and said with a smile:

"The title 'prophet' is just a designation; his people take turns leading us to explore the unknown."

Li Yuan was relieved to hear this.

If it really lived that long, it must be some kind of demon or monster.

Meanwhile, Kaplan bypassed the manor's guards and arrived alone in a small palace.

He respectfully addressed the several prophets, dressed in suits and reclining on the throne in meditation, on the high platform:

"My Lord Prophet, the person with special abilities that Charles, Horace, and I jointly recommended has arrived."

One of the prophets slowly opened his eyes and asked in a low voice:

Are you sure he's harmless?

"Yes, I've investigated his family background."

Kaplan said in a deep voice:

"He has no connection with the church, and in fact, there are deep conflicts between them."

The prophet nodded slowly and instructed Kaplan:

"Then let's devise a plan based on his abilities, as long as it can compete with the church for believers."

Kaplan nodded silently, already having made some plans in his mind.
