For some reason, Marcus always had a bad feeling.
Perhaps, from the very beginning, they were focusing on the wrong thing!
Perhaps the most dangerous among them is not Old John, nor the familiar face from China, Hu Yue, who suddenly appeared, but those few unfamiliar foreigners whom he did not take too seriously!
But it's clear that it's too late for him to regret it now!
However, there might still be a chance to salvage the situation!
If we can find the causal chain and pin the blame on them, then given how senile those people at headquarters are, they might actually be able to gloss over the matter!
Thinking this through, Marcus no longer hesitated. After carefully instructing Evan, he quickly turned and headed towards headquarters. Given the magnitude of the incident, and considering Bishop Odal's temperament, he certainly wouldn't let them off easily this time!
So now this line has almost become his only chance to redeem himself.
No!
Perhaps this is his chance to climb another step up!
God really does favor him!
After Evan left in a hurry, a smug smile appeared on Marcus's face, but before his smugness could dissipate, it froze on his face.
Because he saw an even brighter smile...
...
Song Mengmeng and Yan Di were unaware of the chaos outside.
It can be said that their concealment this time was very successful. Although the crowd around them was noisy and chaotic, it did not affect their exploration to a deeper level.
Just as Reynolds said before, the environment here is so foul that it is unbearable!
It's almost certain that if it weren't for the fact that the Underworld Emperor was protecting her, Song Mengmeng would have already lost control of her instincts and gone berserk, slaughtering everyone in her path!
"Just bear with it a little longer, sweetie."
Emperor Yan patted Song Mengmeng's head and comforted her in a low voice, "Let's go in and take another look."
Their purpose in coming here this time was certainly not limited to this long corridor filled with evil spirits; their greater attention was focused on the place at the end of this corridor where evil spirits were spreading.
It must be said that, compared to Marcus, Audar, as the head of the Vatican of the Smog Kingdom, was much more cautious and perceptive. He only listened to his subordinate's report and knew that this matter could not be resolved so easily.
Especially when he heard Marcus's suggestion to shift the blame, he couldn't help but spit in Marcus's face and head: "Idiot!"
Do you even have a brain?!
Those people from China are not so easy to deal with!
You have no evidence, but if you just make such a fuss, given the habits of the Chinese people, they'll probably fight this to the bitter end! What do you plan to do if they then want to intervene and investigate to find out the truth?!
It's good that we can shift the blame now.
However, not everyone can be blamed.
Odal knew, of course, that Marcus was right; those people were indeed the prime suspects, but he simply couldn't make it public right now.
Without absolute evidence, you'll end up not only failing to catch the fox but also getting yourself into trouble!
Odal's reminder made Marcus realize his mistake and he stopped dwelling on the matter. After a moment's thought, he quickly devised a remedial plan, suggesting in a low voice, "Perhaps we could make use of the KB elements or the Green Clan vampires?"
That's a pretty good suggestion.
Odal glanced at Marcus, and this time he didn't object. Instead, he nodded slightly, but didn't forget to warn Marcus: "I hope you understand that in the entire Smog Kingdom, you should now be considered my most valued child!"
I'm not young anymore, and my greatest wish is to return to the Holy See and enjoy my old age under the Lord's protection. But you are different. You are still young, and in the entire Smog Country, you are the most outstanding in terms of both strength and experience!
Before, there was Reynolds, but now, that last stumbling block in your way is gone, and your future is limitless!
Therefore, I hope you can handle this matter perfectly and not disappoint me.
Marcus was deeply moved by Odal's words, but he managed to keep a straight face and not break down. He nodded, showered Odal with compliments again with utmost sincerity, and then slowly left the room.
"What's wrong with him? He looks like he's won the lottery!" Hu Yue whispered to Hu Da beside her from a big tree on the road where Marcus hurriedly came out of the office.
The way he was when we caught him and interrogated him was completely different from how he was now. He was so timid and cowardly that he wanted to spill all the bad things his ancestors had done.
It was a real shame to erase his memory!
He should also know how... tsk, how embarrassing he was before!
"He's probably been bewitched. Let's keep an eye on him; this guy won't behave so easily!" Huda didn't seem too concerned. She glanced in the direction of Odal's office but didn't consider going over to investigate.
It wasn't for any other reason than that, given the current unknown strength of the other party, they were somewhat worried about alerting them if they went there rashly!
She is indeed a powerful demon, but this is the Smog Kingdom, after all, someone else's territory! It's always better to be careful!
Marcus, flattered by Odal's words, naturally began to think about how to write his report to his superiors.
