Ma Tao said:

"Do you still long for this country?"

Nam Ji-ah replied fervently:

"My body belongs to the Seven Commandments Association, my soul belongs to His Majesty the Death God.

If I have a home, it must be His Majesty the Death God’s Divine Kingdom.

The mundane past is merely His Majesty the Death God’s way of tempering me!"

A hint of sarcasm and a touch of sadness appeared on Ma Tao’s face as he said:

"Then why do you care about this?"

Nam Ji-ah replied seriously:

"I just want to confirm this information for the upcoming actions."

Ma Tao said:

"This is the divine decree handed down by His Majesty the Death God."

Nam Ji-ah believed that Ma Tao, the Sect Leader of the Seven Commandments Association, could truly communicate with the gods and immediately had no doubts:

"Whether for myself or South Korea, I will definitely get this done!"

...

South Korea City Defense Bureau’s full name is ’City Land Guard, Border Defense Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau’.

It is a joint official agency composed of agents, military, and sheriffs.

In the context of Spiritual Energy Revival, abnormal events have gradually increased, so the City Defense Bureau has gained another attribute—General Institution for Abnormal Events Management.

...

South Korea, Capital City, City Defense Bureau, Reception Room.

City Defense Bureau Director—An Dacheng received Cao Yi.

In the reception room, there were eight South Koreans.

Four of them were senior members of the City Defense Bureau, and four were Extraordinary responsible for security.

The fat middle-aged man at the forefront was the City Defense Bureau Director, An Dacheng.

An Dacheng knew that Xia Country was the first place where Spiritual Energy Revival occurred.

Cao Yi is the Director of Security Administration, perhaps a powerful Extraordinary himself.

An Dacheng didn’t dare to be careless, Extraordinary guards were arranged early on.

"Where are Director Cao’s colleagues?

Are they still sightseeing in Capital City?

There are quite a few fun places in Capital City, the City Defense Bureau can serve as a guide."

An Dacheng asked with a smile.

Cao Yi shook his head:

"No need to test me.

I think as soon as I got off the plane, the City Defense Bureau already knew the purpose of my visit.

The situation is urgent, I’m here alone without other administrators."

Both of them speak English, so communication wasn’t too difficult, and no translation equipment or personnel was needed.

An Dacheng pursed his lips:

"So, what exactly happened?"

A Director of the Security Administration, a high-ranking figure in Xia Country, came to South Korea alone—who knows what he’s up to?

Cao Yi gazed at An Dacheng and said:

"Naturally, it’s because something significant has occurred. I’m here for the safety of South Korea."

This statement left everyone present stunned.

South Korea’s safety?

Isn’t this a bit too serious?

An Dacheng had to take it seriously, saying solemnly:

"Please elaborate, Director Cao."

Cao Yi said:

"A group of monsters from beyond will descend upon South Korea. I hope you are prepared in advance."

Everyone exchanged looks, faces full of doubt.

An Dacheng pondered for a moment:

"Please continue."

Cao Yi said:

"Those monsters invade Blue Star through space rifts, and current human devices are difficult to detect them.

They are very powerful, and ordinary human weapons cannot harm them.

Only Extraordinary can fight against them.

As far as I know, South Korea is the next place those monsters will invade.

At that time, South Korea will be in ruins, possibly even... destroyed!"

Everyone exchanged glances, some of the City Defense Bureau senior members showed even more suspicion on their faces.

An Dacheng’s lips curled into a smirk as he crossed his legs.

He flipped through his phone while saying:

"And then?"

Cao Yi frowned and said:

"I believe you need the assistance of the Security Administration, and the Security Administration can support South Korea unconditionally.

I need you to grant administrator permissions, allowing them to be stationed in South Korea."

Before Cao Yi could finish, a middle-aged woman at the scene sternly said:

"Absolutely not! South Korea will not allow Xia Country’s Extraordinary to station here!"

Cao Yi glanced at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman looked at him with vigilance:

"Does Director Cao think the City Defense Bureau would allow Xia Country’s official Extraordinary to enter South Korea at will?"

An Dacheng raised his hand to stop the middle-aged woman’s speech.

He placed his phone screen-down on the coffee table, giving Cao Yi a knowing, inscrutable look:

"Director Cao, let’s not beat around the bush.

Why are you in such a hurry to get administrators into South Korea?

I’ve heard that after the Spiritual Energy Revival, mysterious relics will appear.

There are treasures of immense value hidden in those relics, and the Security Administration could gain many benefits from them.

Be honest with me—isn’t it because a relic is about to appear in South Korea?"

After An Dacheng spoke, the South Koreans present appeared to realize something.

They looked at An Dacheng with admiration.

As expected of the Director, he deduced the appearance of a relic in South Korea from Cao Yi’s few words.

Their breathing became rapid.

There are great treasures in relics!

Could it be that South Korea is about to rise?!

Cao Yi was stunned.

The matter of relics in Xia Country is a secret, but too many Extraordinary know this secret.

So, it has become a not-so-secret secret.

It seems the City Defense Bureau has spies in Xia Country, so they obtained this information.

They speculate Cao Yi intends for the Security Administration to enter South Korea and snatch treasures from the relics.

An Dacheng, seeing Cao Yi’s dazed expression, became even more convinced of his guess.

An Dacheng’s eyes shone with a gleam:

"If the administrators want to cooperate with us and explore the relics together, you can say so openly.

We can sell the right to enter the relics in the form of admission tickets.

If the administrators want to freeload in South Korea, don’t take the City Defense Bureau as fools."

Cao Yi rubbed his temples and sighed:

"Is that really what you think?

Do you think I would covet your South Korean relics?"

An Dacheng sneered:

"Hehe, South Korea has a long history, countless unknown treasures are hidden within relics, and you wouldn’t be tempted?

Even if South Korea were on the brink of ’the end of the world’, would your Xia Country be so kind as to support South Korea?"

Cao Yi chuckled in frustration:

"Do you really think I want my subordinates to come to South Korea to die?

South Korea is too close to Xia Country; I just don’t want the monsters’ first base to be right next to Xia Country."

This statement was reasonable and well-founded.

But An Dacheng wasn’t going to believe it.

An Dacheng gestured for Cao Yi to stop talking.

He said:

"Well then, I have a few questions for you.

First question: You said monsters are going to descend on Blue Star. Where did you get this information?"

Everyone looked at Cao Yi, as if judging a fraud.

Logically speaking, Cao Yi should be respected by the City Defense Bureau as the Director of Security Administration.

But the City Defense Bureau assumed Cao Yi was greedy for South Korea’s relic treasures and was trying to trick everyone present.

Why would they show Cao Yi a good attitude?
