The aging Byron kept a very humble posture, and no matter how serious the expressions of the two clergymen were, he always wore a fawning smile.

He firmly believes in an old saying, a famous quote from one of the legendary founding emperors: "One cannot hit a smiling face."

Byron's face darkened slightly as he explained, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Yellen, I've had a bit of a cold lately..."

"I entrusted the Wayne siblings to you, and this is how you take care of them?" the blond man questioned in a deep voice.

Byron felt an unusual heat in the church, the air pressure was extremely low, and the man before him exuded such intense pressure that the title of "man" kept replaying in his mind:

The chief "Agent" of the Heavenly Prayer Church, the captain of the "Agents," and the GOAT (God of Strength) of the "Agents," ranking among the top five in combat strength in the world...

Full name: Leonard Yellen.

The true leaders and those in power in the church.

The most terrifying thing is that rumors say this man possesses a "demon" and is a top candidate for the next demigod.

"Um... I'm so sorry, Your Excellency Yellen! This incident was my negligence... His Excellency Chris has recovered..."

"I don't know what you're up to, and I don't care." Leonardo had striking eyebrows and bright eyes, with long, pure gold hair cascading over his shoulders, resembling a majestic lion. "I wanted to ask you, if I'm going to enter Dawn Town, could you please let me know?"

"Ah! This..." Despite his apprehension, Byron forced a show of difficulty and asked, "What are your reasons for applying?"

"I found traces of demons in Castile, but I haven't found anything in the past two days. I'd like to go to Dawntown to take a look."

"Demons!" Byron was stunned. Had this gentleman already begun actively collecting demons?

Is the empire finally about to compete for the next generation of demigods?

Byron's mind was filled with a series of speculations.

"Two weeks ago, I sensed that the last demon had chosen its Master, and this war had begun. The wanted criminal who infiltrated Dawntown is the prime suspect! Is that reason... sufficient?"

Leon's tone was icy.

"I...I...I..." Byron finally succumbed to the pressure and nodded in agreement.

Suddenly, the conference room door was pushed open.

A slender, graceful figure strode into the conference room with light and cheerful steps.

"Oh my, isn't this Uncle Leon?" the girl's lively and sweet voice rang out.

"Hmm, Vena, long time no see, you've grown so much!"

Upon seeing that it was Vina, Leon's tone immediately softened.

As is well known, the "Academy School" of Moonshadow City has two powerful families that have been friends for generations, and they intermarry and form alliances with each other.

The top-ranking family is the Yellen family, and the second-ranking family is the Edwards family.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vincent Verona, both from "academic" backgrounds, chose to join the church, making them two oddballs in high society.

Therefore, the two got along quite well.

Vena's face was rosy and full, and she was neither humble nor arrogant. Instead, her words revealed a sense of intimacy: "Uncle Leon, it's probably not appropriate for you to enter Dawn Town as a demon wielder. How about I help you?"

"How can I help?"

"I'll help you catch that wanted criminal, okay?"

Leon carefully examined his niece, a daughter of a long-time family friend, who had grown into a beautiful young woman, and fell into deep thought.

…………

Chenxi Town, central area.

Pharos's gaze faltered as he spotted a familiar face.

As the territory under the control of the Corleone family, half of the shops on the street belong to the Corleone family.

But this domineering eldest son of the Corleone family, Roman, actually knelt down in front of a woman in public.

Vanessa! Please, give me another chance... I really can't lose you...

Roman humbled himself, holding a bouquet of vibrant roses, intending to offer it to the woman, but she didn't even glance at him.

My God... what kind of girl could possibly handle this domineering young master? Pharos found it hard to describe his feelings; he felt like Jerry watching Tom fawn over him.

But this girl is pretty fierce...

They actually gave this bullying young master a hard time in public.

It's important to know that, unlike the Moretti family, who are desperately trying to whitewash their image, the Corleone family is incredibly domineering.

The two families have taken completely different paths in their development.

Moretti wants to clear his name, break out of Dawntown, and become a new nobleman.

Corleone wants to devour the entire town of Dawn and become its tyrant.

Pharos wanted to see what the girl looked like, and then... he froze.

He suspected he was going blind.

"What... this girl is just so-so, don't you think? Pharos," Miss Raven commented sharply.

Then, Miss Raven noticed that Pharos was standing there, frozen in place, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Ser...Ser...Serena...Miss?" Pharos felt like the sky had fallen.

What kind of development is this?

The girl in front of him was none other than Serena Moretti.

Pharos felt utterly devastated, a feeling no less shock than when he learned in high school that his ideal woman had become someone else's.

"Pharos... what's wrong? It can't be that bad. She's just an ordinary woman. Have you been suppressing yourself to this extent?"

Miss Crow cast a strange look at me.

"Ordinary? Woman?"

Pharos glanced at Miss Raven in disbelief, then looked at Serena not far away.

He finally sensed that something was wrong.

Pharos wouldn't be surprised if anyone in Dawntown got together.

But Serena and Roman are the only exceptions; if those two met, they'd beat the dog out of its head.

Roman used to have three dogs: one died, one was crippled, and there was a blue and white dog that I saw last time.

These two used to fight whenever they met, but later Roman realized that constantly losing the dog wasn't a solution, so he started actively avoiding encounters with them.

Putting everything else aside, just this grudge over killing the dog will keep Roman and Serena at odds for life.

But what about this woman in front of me?

How come she has Miss Serena's face?

Could it be related to my "spiritual" premonition?

"Miss Raven, what does this woman you see look like?" Pharos asked.

"It's ordinary, not good-looking, but not ugly either."

This is strange, because Miss Raven actually has a very high opinion of Serena's appearance, since she has never praised the appearances of Vena and Christina.

Of course, this is partly due to her narcissism.

If the woman in front of us isn't Serena, then who is she?

"Vanessa?"

The woman's name is Vanessa?

Pharos noticed a detail.

Before Pharos could figure it out, the woman dropped the roses.

The woman looked at Roman, a slight smirk playing on her lips, revealing a hint of disdain and cunning that stirred something within Pharos.

"I've lost interest in you, Mr. Roman. Your stamina is disappointing."

After saying that, the woman swayed her large, round buttocks, like a woman giving birth naturally, and walked away from Roman with a cat-like gait.

She happened to pass by Pharos and, seemingly noticing his rather handsome appearance, gave him a flirtatious wink.

Instantly, goosebumps rose all over Pharos's body.

This woman... she's completely ruining Miss Serena's image...

Roman knelt on the ground, utterly dejected, and slammed his fist into the ground.

"Damn it... if... if I could last a little longer..."
