Chapter 1 New York County Branch Post

The New York County branch's post succinctly described the mission, listing the spirit realm IDs, levels, and years of service of the victims, without indignant rhetoric or emotionally charged appeals.

It was like a quiet and sad obituary.

The Law Enforcers from various branches left comments on the post like "May there be no strife in heaven," "God bless you," "Rest in peace," and rows upon rows of white candles.

In this post, there were no curses and roars, no anger and blame, no gnashing of teeth declaring revenge.

Although separated by the screen, there was an atmosphere of grief for the deceased. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at it and exited the post, browsing the forum homepage.

The atmosphere changed drastically. Posts with "fuck" in the title almost filled the entire screen, fully demonstrating the Law Enforcers' anger.

Losing eighteen Lingjing Xingzhe overnight, including seven Saints and two level sixes, was a huge loss for Law Enforcers, the strongest orderly organization in the world.

In the forum, some Law Enforcers denounced the incompetence and corruption of the New York County executives, just like the citizens of the Free Federation denouncing the local government.

They believed that Sean Mede, the chief executive officer of the Executive Department, should be held responsible and hoped that the headquarters would send a more capable Dominator to take over the position of chief executive officer.

Some Law Enforcers believed that the situation in New York County was gradually escalating, to the point where Dominators could intervene at any time, and the headquarters should send a commissioner to lead an elite team to reside in New York County.

"Although New York County is a large branch, the battles between the Dionysus Club and the Merchant Guild are becoming more and more intense, and many masters from the evil camp are going to New York County to join in the fun. The headquarters should send people to support them."

"New York County is the headquarters of the Church of the Sea God. Those arrogant sirens have a bad relationship with us. If the headquarters sends a commissioner to reside there, I'm afraid there will be conflicts with them."

"When have the Law Enforcers been afraid of anyone? The Church of the Sea God has been watching from the sidelines. I saw in the internal Law Enforcers' Every Mail that the Church of the Sea God symbolically destroyed a few gangs. Since the Church of the Sea God is not charging forward, then leave it to us, the Law Enforcers."

"Please immediately arrest Cocktail, or hunt down the peak Saints of the evil camp. The Law Enforcers must avenge this revenge." Zhang Yuanqing quickly browsed the posts and found that the Law Enforcers and the Five Elements Alliance had one difference: the Five Elements Alliance's forum was more like a gossip community, where everyone chatted, gossiped, and occasionally vented negative energy.

The Law Enforcers' forum was different. They not only commented on their superiors, but also seriously discussed tactics, what props should be used to deal with the Dionysus Club, what kind of deployment should be carried out, and when disputes occurred, when no one agreed with each other, they would even post some highly classified prop attributes in the posts.

In addition to discussing tactics, they also liked to teach their superiors how to deploy troops and fight against the evil camp.

Regardless of whether it was reliable or not, at least it had a strong academic atmosphere. At the same time, it was a bit too free. A lot of information and intelligence were not suitable to be placed on social platforms.

The New York County branch is under a lot of pressure, especially Sean Mede... So many elites have died, it's a major mistake...

Zhang Yuanqing hummed twice, gloating.

Sean Mede was quite hostile to the Five Elements Alliance's assistance team, always putting on a cold face and not being friendly.

Now that the members of the Law Enforcers' branches are clamoring to investigate responsibility, wishing they could personally transfer to New York County to fight the evil camp, Sean Mede's pressure can be imagined.

In the chief executive officer's office, on the public sofa, Sean Mede's thin face was solemn, and a storm was brewing in his light blue eyes. He looked at the two Dominators of the same level opposite him and said in a deep voice, "I want to apply to use the Sky Child!"

Sitting opposite Sean were Winnie Lent and a middle-aged and elderly man with gray hair named Channing Lou, who was the Minister of Administration appointed by the board of directors. He was responsible for all internal affairs of the Law Enforcers, including but not limited to personnel transfers, financial management, prop disbursement, vacation arrangements... To put it bluntly, the Minister of Administration was to check and balance the chief executive officer and the prosecutor.

The separation of powers is the creed of the Free Federation.

Channing Lou shook his head: "Cocktail should have left New York County, or hid in the spirit realm. It's meaningless for you to open the Sky Child. Maybe this is exactly what the evil camp wants to see. A wind mage who has lost his eyes is like a tiger with its teeth pulled out. When he meets a hunter, there is only death. Sean, do you want to be the first Dominator to return to the spirit realm in this battle?"

Sean Mede frowned: "Minister Lou, is the headquarters preparing to send someone to replace me?"

Channing Lou said calmly: "The headquarters believes that it was your greed and recklessness that led to the annihilation of a team. You should accept Minister Winnie's suggestion and hunt the beast Haas. In addition, the headquarters knows that you have been grieving for your son recently and feels that you are not suitable to command the Executive Department anymore. They are already looking for candidates and will not change unless there are special circumstances."

Sean Mede's face twitched slightly. "The annihilation of the Executive Team was not because I was greedy and reckless, but because there was a spy inside the Executive Department. Not many people knew about last night's operation. I am already investigating the spy."

Channing Lou nodded noncommittally. These things will be done by the successor. The headquarters' decision will not be easily changed.

At this time, Winnie Lent said: "When the new chief executive officer takes office, Your Excellency Mede can open the Sky Child. I don't object!"

The main thing is to make the best use of waste! She suddenly felt a little fortunate for Ju Mang's wit. If he hadn't ferreted out Emma, the spy, maybe she would have made a big mistake like Sean Mede and fallen into a similar predicament.

Channing Lou sighed, "Let's talk about the spy again. There are many problems within the Law Enforcers. If we don't find those spies, similar things will happen again in the future. In addition, the beast Haas just returned to the spirit realm, and the evil camp gave us a resounding slap in the face. Sean, let Nos act. Pick one from the A-level wanted list."

Nos is one of the two peak Saints of the Executive Department. He has rich combat experience and a wealth of props. He is a strongman of the older generation.

After lunch, Zhang Yuanqing left the bank building and summoned his clone using the Eight-Inch Mirror in a nearby public restroom.

Bacchus and Hecate decided to hunt down the Five Elements Alliance team tonight, summoning him to conspire at Catherine's health massage parlor at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After sending away his clone, he returned to the office and heard Yuan Ting vividly recounting the news that Sean Mede was about to be replaced. He not only knew that Sean Mede was about to "step down," but also knew the list of candidates at the Law Enforcers headquarters thousands of miles away.

"It is said that it may be Winifred Elena. This person is not simple. She is also the Demon Lord's lover, a level 7 wind mage, and may already be level 8. Since the Demon Lord returned to the spirit realm, she has been on leave of absence with pay, cultivating her mind at home."

"Tsk tsk, why do so many women still be devoted to a scum like the Demon Lord?" Yuan Ting looked around proudly, in a posture of being invincible in the gossip field.

Maybe he slept with her, um, Elena... Zhang Yuanqing's eyes lit up. He knew this woman. She was one of the Demon Lord's more favored lovers and was suspected of possessing a treasure map fragment... She was a woman he wanted to contact, but she was thousands of miles away and inaccessible.

Suddenly, he didn't want to kill Bacchus and Hecate anymore. He might as well let Sean get out of here. If the successor was really Elena!

Zhang Yuanqing muttered in his heart. If he successfully hunted down Bacchus and Hecate, Sean might not step down.

He might get a demerit and then continue to stay in New York County.

"Elena must be very beautiful." Sun Miaomiao ate melons next to him.

As long as it didn't involve Yuan Shi Tianzun, she was still happy to hear about the Demon Lord's romantic affairs with women.

"We can question the Demon Lord's character, but we can't question his taste!"

Yuan Ting said, "She must be a great beauty. I heard that Winnie Lent is particularly possessive. She regards all the Demon Lord's lovers as enemies. If Elena comes over, there will be fun to watch."

Late at night. In a riverside hotel on Manhattan Island, in the room with the best view, Bacchus held a wine bottle in one hand and a telescope in the other, scrutinizing the bank building in the distance.

After confirming that the view was clear, he put down the telescope, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed the Dream Master's number.

"In five minutes, I will have my subordinates take action. You keep an eye on it. As soon as the Five Elements Alliance team comes out, report to me immediately."

He hiccupped. "Don't teach me how to do things!" The Dream Master on the other end of the phone replied coldly and hung up.

Bacchus looked at the mobile phone screen, grinned, and turned to Hecate, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, and said, "I'm not happy with this guy. Find a chance to kill him."

Red Hecate opened her eyes, "Then tonight, it just so happens that there will be one less person to share the rewards. We each get a top-quality prop in the Saint stage."

Bacchus showed a cruel smile: "Great idea."

He picked up his mobile phone again and dialed his subordinate's number: "Take action!" After saying that, he hung up the phone, sat by the bay window, looked at the night view of Manhattan Island and the distant river view, and sipped the wine in small sips.

As high-level executives, Bacchus and Hecate naturally did not lack subordinates. Tonight, they arranged enough manpower to carry out large-scale destruction around Manhattan Island.

The Law Enforcers will definitely suspect that it is a plan by the Free camp to lure snakes out of their holes. Instead, they will not dare to send teams to deal with it casually. It will be led by a Saint team, and even a Dominator will control the situation from behind.

In this way, the Law Enforcers will inevitably have a shortage of manpower. The Five Elements Alliance team is strong enough and is itself an assistance team, so it will definitely be dispatched.

Bacchus drank one mouthful after another while enjoying the river view.

About half an hour later, the lights on the 102nd and 103rd floors of the distant bank building suddenly lit up. After a few minutes, gusts of wind rose from the top of the bank building.

Figures drove the airflow away from the bank building and disappeared into the night.

Not long after, in the underground garage of the bank, black business vehicles drove out quickly, honking their horns and merging into the traffic, rushing to the various police stations that were asking for help.

Bacchus's mobile phone "dinged" and received a text message from the Dream Master.

He fixed his eyes on it, and the text message was a license plate number. The Five Elements Alliance people were in this car.
