The others also looked at Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao said with a somewhat excited expression, "Almost there! We were very lucky this time; we captured all of the high-ranking members of Happy Paradise alive!"

Colin adjusted his glasses and added, "It's not over yet. Besides these high-ranking officials, their subordinates and members of the Pleasure Kingdom haven't been caught yet."

Lin Xiao waved his hand dismissively, saying, "With these high-ranking officials around, capturing those members shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Colin did not refute this.

Wang Qiwen looked around and asked in confusion, "You captured a high-ranking member of Happy Paradise? Why didn't we see anyone from Happy Paradise just now?"

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow and said, "We naturally have special soul artifacts that can take them away."

Wang Qiwen and the others suddenly realized.

Lin Xiao then glanced at the corpse not far away, and then at Lu Ning's trench coat, and asked with some doubt, "It seems that the situation on the outskirts is not good?"

Lu Ning nodded slightly: "Two fourth-tier mutated individuals have appeared, and their strength is not weak."

Qiu Yuelin said, "Yes, if it weren't for Brother Lu Ning, probably even more people would have died."

Lin Xiao and Colin both looked at Lu Ning with some surprise.

Lin Xiao asked in surprise, "Lu Ning is that powerful now?"

Thinking back to Lu Ning's previous battle, Wei Xuan couldn't help but sigh, "Lu Ning is indeed very strong now."

Wang Qiwen did not refute, but nodded.

Colin laughed and said, "Go back and tell us all about it. Let's leave now."

Lin Xiao nodded: "Okay, let's go first. It's the first time the three of you have participated in such a dangerous mission, and you all survived. That's something to celebrate."

So the group walked and talked as they went downstairs and left the mall.

After leaving the mall, Lu Ning saw that the area outside the mall had been sealed off, and there were police officers and logistics personnel from the Fog Bureau everywhere.

Lu Ning also saw familiar faces such as Bo Wen and Peng Qianqian.

Bowen saw Lin Xiao and the others and jogged over. He glanced in the direction of the mall and asked with a serious expression, "How's the situation inside?"

Lin Xiao said, "It can be considered a great victory. The top brass of Happy Kingdom has been wiped out, and the pressure on you will be lighter from now on."

Bowen immediately relaxed, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled brightly, saying, "That's good. Ever since I fell ill at that birthday party, I haven't been sleeping well, afraid that something might happen. It's good that those high-ranking members of Happy Paradise have been caught in one fell swoop. We can relax a bit more."

Lin Xiao patted Bowen on the shoulder, then waved his hand and said, "We'll leave this to you. Let's go back and rest first."

Bowen nodded seriously and said to the group, "No problem, leave the rest to us. Thank you for your hard work."

After he finished speaking, Bowen gave them a military salute.

Not only Bowen, but also Peng Qianqian and others.

Amidst the greetings of the crowd, the group left the cordon and headed to the parking lot.

Because of the evacuation by the police and the fog bureau, all the ordinary people in the vicinity have left, and there are not many vehicles left in the parking lot.

Lin Xiao and Colin got into their respective cars, and Lu Ning and the others followed. The two then drove away.

In Colin's car, Wang Qiwen complained somewhat discontentedly, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but these police officers really aren't doing a good job. Such a large secret organization is gathering in such a bustling shopping mall, and they've already held several secret meetings, yet they still haven't discovered it."

Wei Xuan, standing nearby, immediately retorted, "Wang Qiwen, what are you saying? As Awakened Ones, don't you know about the situation of Awakened Ones? If Awakened Ones want to hide, how can the Public Security Bureau find them?"

Wang Qiwen immediately retorted, "But it's not just Awakened Ones; there are also so many people with lesions working as waiters, and they haven't been detected yet, have they?"

Wei Xuan immediately said, "What's the difference? The Public Security Bureau isn't the Mystery Bureau; they simply don't have the resources to investigate those with the disease. Diseases are the Mystery Bureau's responsibility, while the Public Security Bureau only deals with ordinary people's affairs!"

Although Wei Xuan's words made sense, Wang Qiwen couldn't help but purse his lips, somewhat dissatisfied.

Colin, who was driving, looked ahead and said thoughtfully, "But to be honest, it's quite something that these infected waiters haven't been discovered yet. I'm afraid Happy Paradise has some special methods. We'll find out the details after we interrogate those Happy Paradise executives. So you two don't need to argue anymore."

Wei Xuan nodded: "Yes, Vice Captain."

Lu Ning did not join Wei Xuan and Wang Qiwen's argument, but quietly looked out the window.

Colin asked, somewhat puzzled, "Lu Ning, what are you looking at?"

Lu Ning asked, "Nothing? By the way, did you find any incense this time?"

Upon hearing this, Colin immediately laughed and said, "We found a considerable amount of Corrupted Incense! This is quite an achievement!"

Lu Ning nodded: "What should we do with these incense sticks?"

Colin thought for a moment and said, "It should be sealed away, and perhaps used as a special item later."

Wei Xuan and Wang Qiwen were both taken aback and looked at Colin with some confusion.

Wang Qiwen asked, "Vice Captain, isn't this 'Degenerate Incense' from Paradise of Joy? Are we going to use it?"

Colin rolled his eyes and said, "You guys really don't know the value of money when you're not in charge! These are all special items with mental radiation. If used properly, they can enhance combat power! It would be such a waste to destroy these things. Our department has collected quite a lot of things from various places, and we end up using them ourselves. Not to mention, many of our Horcruxes were seized from criminal Awakened individuals."
