The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

"Avenate, report what you know about what happened."

"Yes! About me..."

Avenate explained the whole process in detail, including the intelligence error caused by the members of the Demon King's Cult, the fact that Lisha destroyed the jewel-level magic tree with her gold-level strength, and the gardener she brought back from the secret realm.

"...This is the specific situation. I have already written a detailed report."

As soon as Avenate finished speaking, she noticed that everyone was staring at her.

"It's good luck as always."

The head of the Imperial Capital branch spoke with a hint of resentment.

"Yeah yeah."

Another branch leader followed suit.

The same was true for several other chapter leaders.

This Lisha, at first glance, is the backup hero.

"Okay, all of you go back. I want to talk to Avenate alone."

As soon as Rex started talking, the others stopped talking.

They looked at each other and finally left.

Only Rex and Avenate were left in the meeting room.

"I'm sorry, but the fewer people who know about this, the better."

Rex suddenly apologized.

"Master Rex, you don't have to apologize. I don't think it's a big deal."

Avenate leaned back in her chair and waved her hand.

She doesn't really care about that.

"What's going on at headquarters?"

Avenat is more concerned about this now.

"There's nothing serious going on at headquarters, except that a well-regarded genius was crippled while visiting headquarters."

Rex looked like he had a headache.

"who is it?"

Avenate asked in surprise.

Which unlucky guy would be successfully ambushed at the Adventurer's Guild headquarters?

"The guys from the Demon King's sect used a tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. It's old-fashioned, but it works."

Rex covered his forehead and looked unhappy.

"Originally, Meris would have died, but no one expected that she was carrying a treasure that only the queen of the mermaid clan could possess. As a result, the four senior members who attacked her all died, but Meris was also severely injured and may not be able to become a legend."

"The youngest daughter of the current mermaid queen? No wonder you asked about the situation with the mermaids."

When Avenate heard this, she suddenly understood why Rex suddenly asked about the situation with the mermaids.

The Mermaid Queen's youngest daughter was severely injured by members of the Demon King's sect and even lost the possibility of becoming a legend. This is no small matter.

If not handled properly, it may turn into a serious accident.

Although the mermaids are not as powerful as the Adventurer's Guild and the Patras Empire, they are also a force that cannot be underestimated.

It’s just because the mermaids live in the sea, so they have no conflicts with the various forces on land, so they seem very insignificant and don’t seem very powerful.

Once upon a time, before the God of the Ocean became a god, there was a powerful coastal kingdom that wanted to make the ocean a part of its territory, and then they confronted the mermaids.

The final result was that this once powerful kingdom fell apart, and the mermaids did not pay too high a price.

This also let all the forces on land know that the mermaid clan is not to be trifled with.

"Do you suspect that there are members of the Demon King's sect who have reached high positions among the mermaids?"

"It's not a doubt, but a certainty. After all, Meris's itinerary is not something that ordinary mermaids can know."

Rex said in a low voice.

"I even feel like the mermaids have already fallen."

"No way?"

Avenate looked at Rex in astonishment.

"It's just a guess. With the God of the Ocean around, the mermaids won't fall so easily."

Rex shook his head and denied this most terrible answer.

"At least the Demon King's Cult can't make it so that not even a mermaid can escape."

"That's true."

Avenat nodded.

The Demon King's Cult is indeed scary, but what makes it scary is that all of its members are crazy and cannot be judged by common sense.

It is just like if an ordinary person becomes a high-ranking member of a powerful force like the senior members of the Demon King's sect, he will never self-destruct or give up everything like these senior members of the Demon King's sect. Instead, he will be hesitant and reluctant to let go of the wealth and power he has gained.

From this point of view, the members of the Demon King's sect are very pure beings, pure lunatics.

But the number of people in the Demon King Sect is definitely not that large, especially the senior members, who are even pitifully few. This is also the reason why the major forces are on guard against the Demon King Sect but are not too afraid of it.

After all, there are only a handful of people who can go as crazy as the senior members of the Demon King's sect.

"When you return, try to protect the members of Lisha's team and don't let them find out."

Rex warned.

"I understand, leave it to me."

Avenate nodded seriously.

This matter can only be handed over to her, the president of the Baishi Town branch.

"Go ahead. Support from headquarters will arrive in a few days. If anything happens, use emergency contact. I will find a way to increase your branch's funding by two levels."

Rex continued.

"Great! Thank you, Master Rex!!~~"

Avenate almost jumped up with joy.

Chapter 429: Take Action

After sending Avenate away, Rex closed the ritual and returned to his office.

"Mr. Vice President, the information you requested has been delivered."

Outside the door, Rex's deputy knocked.

"come in."

Rex pinched the bridge of his nose.

Although he doesn’t get tired easily when he’s at the Gem Stage, he now feels mentally exhausted.

Fighting fires everywhere is not an easy job.

Rex was glad that he didn't encounter such a thing when he was the president, otherwise he would be busy to death.

Although it's almost the same now.

But with the president around, even he felt a natural sense of security.

After all, this president was a strong man who had faced the devil head-on and survived.

Yes, the president of this generation's Adventurer's Guild headquarters was once a teammate of the previous generation of heroes, and was also a former backup hero.

"Vice President, do you need me to go to the logistics department to apply for some refreshing medicine for you?"

Rex's deputy saw Rex's condition and asked with concern.

"No, I don't need that yet."

Rex waved his hand.

Although the refreshing potions made by the logistics department are powerful, the taste is also really stimulating, the kind that makes people unforgettable after drinking it. Sometimes Rex even doubts whether the refreshing effect of this potion is due to the efficacy of the medicine or the stimulating taste.

"By the way, has the president given a reply yet?"

"He did, but he told you to go find him when you come back and report the meeting to him."

Rex's deputy replied.

"Well, go and sort out the information I mentioned earlier about the mermaids in the past five hundred years. I want to see it."

As soon as Rex finished speaking, he saw his deputy with a bitter face.

"Go ahead. I can only rely on you for now."

"As ordered!"

Rex's deputy left with a bitter face.

Just as Rex said, because of the Demon King's Cult, there is now a certain degree of chaos within the Adventurer's Guild, and many guild members who have close or good relationships with the undercover cannot be trusted for the time being.

Being dismissed from one's position and awaiting investigation was already considered a good outcome. Most people were directly locked up and investigated to prevent any members of the Demon King's sect from meddling in the matter.

After Rex retrieved the meeting's record crystal, he headed straight for the president.

Because the president's office was located one floor above Rex's office, Rex quickly arrived at the door of the president's office.

"Dong dong dong!~"

"Come in, Rex."

Rex pushed the door open.

The first thing that caught his eye was the extremely conspicuous huge tooth on the wall.

This white tooth took up an entire wall and looked extremely extraordinary.

Rex knew that this was one of the president's favorite collections, the back tooth of a snake-like monster lord.

At that time, the president stopped this terrifying monster lord one-on-one and killed it directly on the third floor of the White Tower.

It is said that when the monster lord's body fell, it spanned nearly half of the third floor, which shows how huge it was.

"President."

Rex came to the president and placed the memory recording crystal on his desk.

"Won't you tell me yourself?"

Sitting behind the desk was an old man who looked extremely old.

His gray hair, thick beard and wrinkled face all showed his aging.

For a legend, failing to maintain youth means his life is coming to an end.

But Rex felt that the president was just deliberately not maintaining it.

Because he remembered that the president was like this when he was young.

At that time, he was only in his twenties and had become a gold-level professional, which was a time of high spirits.

The president said he was very optimistic about him, and patted him on the shoulder and said that the future belongs to young people like them.

He was very excited at the time and said loudly that he would become a new legend and fight to destroy monsters.

As a result, nearly five hundred years have passed since then, and I have become the president's successor, but the president has not changed at all and still looks old.

Rex didn't understand it at the time, but many years later he finally understood why after he went back and told his teacher about it, the teacher looked at him with a very subtle expression, as if he had an indescribable feeling of half-smile.

Because the teacher had heard similar words in the past.

"President, it would be better if you take a look at the records yourself."

Rex said as he sat down on the sofa nearby.

"Well... since you said so, I'll take a look."
