Chapter 69-1

In the Crescent Moon Holy See, everything had returned to normal. Today's incident hadn't spread widely. Only a few people knew about it, and for the Holy See, having their carefully cultivated Cardinal heir turn out to be a Demon God servant would damage the Holy See's prestige if the news got out. So, this incident couldn't be leaked.

From Cardinal Ferren's response, it seemed that the Crescent Moon Goddess didn't react much. She only instructed him to continue cultivating a qualified successor. However, due to Cardinal Ferren's significant mistake this time, his prestige was significantly affected among the many bishops.

For Su Mo, at this point, all the potential threats within the Crescent Moon Holy See had been eliminated. He could now begin implementing another plan.

"The master's orders have arrived; it's time to take action."

"Good."

On the other side, Nancy, after receiving Su Mo's orders, quickly began her operations. In her hands, there was already a sizable list of names. These names were suspected Protagonists. However, relying solely on her intelligence organization wouldn't be realistic to deal with all these Protagonists.

Her intelligence organization had a more critical task of gathering information. While there were some experts within it, their numbers weren't abundant, and in the vast Crescent Moon Kingdom, they weren't enough.

Most importantly, at this stage, many Protagonists' strengths were gradually increasing. Some intelligent Protagonists had already found their own backers. For example, many Protagonists, after strengthening their abilities with golden fingers, joined the Magic Academy. Others joined the military and similar organizations. Some Protagonists were even hiding in secret.

First, he aimed to increase the wave of Villain Points by using the Protagonists within the Crescent Moon Kingdom. He would raise a few advanced golden fingers.^

"Looking at it this way, after we exposed Lance, the Demon God behind him isn't willing to give up," commented one bishop. Su Mo gave him a thumbs up in his mind. This imaginative interpretation was excellent!

"Yeah, I feel the same. The Demon God probably wanted to infiltrate us through Lance. Since we exposed Lance, it might retaliate in anger," another bishop expressed concern.

"Don't worry too much. Under the divine light of the Goddess, even if demons have large-scale actions, we will detect them first," reassured another Cardinal Bishop.

Cardinal Ferren shook his head, saying, "This matter must be handled well. The Goddess has just completed the blessing ceremony, and if we allow demons to cause chaos, it will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the Goddess's blessing this time."

Speaking up to this point, Cardinal Ferren had a headache. First, there was the Demon God invasion, then the successor became a servant of the Demon God, and now, demons were causing trouble. If possible, he wanted to retire now and leave this mess behind.

"Holy Son, how do you see this matter?" Cardinal Ferren asked Su Mo. The other bishops also looked over.

In the gaze of everyone, Su Mo thought for a few seconds before saying, "Under the Goddess's divine light, demons are still able to cause trouble all over the kingdom. It is difficult to do it without anyone's help in the kingdom."

His words made the bishops nod. The cardinal bishop reporting the situation also brightened up, "Count's words are extremely accurate. Like this Demon God invasion, without the assistance of several Duke heirs, the two Demon Gods would not have been able to invade."

Another bishop, puzzled, asked, "We have already executed the main culprit. Is there someone else colluding with demons?"
