Reported!

The two embraced quietly, savoring this last moment of tenderness.

But after a long time, they didn't hear any car approaching, or any sounds of someone banging on the door or going upstairs.

Could it be?

The middle-aged man quickly and gently pushed his wife away from his arms, then carefully peeked out the window again, looking towards the mall. He found that the white sedan had disappeared. He moved his gaze to the front of the small building, but still couldn't find the car.

Seemingly remembering something, the middle-aged man quickly ran to the window on the other side of the room. This time, he finally saw the car, but it was speeding away in the direction it had come from, heading towards Libya City in the Nithers Center.

He stared blankly as the car drove away until his wife came over, took his arm, and leaned against him, which brought him back to his senses.

"Didn't he see us just now?"

His wife asked softly.

The man slowly shook his head and said with certainty.

"He definitely saw it. I could feel him pause noticeably when he closed the car door, and his gaze..."

"Even though we were far apart, I could still feel him watching me."

His wife looked completely puzzled upon hearing this.

"Then what happened to him...?"

As his wife spoke, she also turned to look out the window. The white luxury car in the distance gradually drove away and was eventually blocked by the ruins in the distance until it could no longer be seen.

The husband shook his head, but a suspicion was creeping into his mind, though he himself dared not believe it.

"Perhaps I'm seeing things."

Inside the car, Chen Mo was also thinking about the two abandoned people.

He could imagine the hardships and difficulties the two of them had endured over the years. To end all of this, he first had to overthrow the Church's rule, restore this distorted society to normalcy, and allow all the post-war survivors to live a peaceful and free life.

However, this cannot be accomplished overnight. Although Chen Mo could easily destroy the entire Church with his Iron Man suit, what would happen next? The collapse of order would only bring greater chaos and disaster. Many times, one cannot do whatever one wants simply by relying on the strength of one person, and this is even more true for the management of a country or city.

However, Chen Mo never stopped preparing. Although he spent most of his time fighting outside the city and honing his Gun Fu, the Resistance Organization inside the city was never idle.

During this period, under Chen Mo's orders, J.A.R.V.I.S. has been doing his best to help the Resistance Organization find members, especially in the government and the military, where he has been a key focus of development.

The Resistance Organization's members were previously ordinary people who suffered under the oppression of the Church. They longed for freedom and wanted to overthrow the Church's brutal rule.

Previously, the Resistance Organization had very few members in the government and the army, and the highest-ranking member was only a Free Reading Room director with little power.

However, he still played a significant role; it was thanks to his cover that the Resistance Organization's underground base was able to be successfully built and used.

This demonstrates the importance of government personnel.

But for the Resistance Organization, that's basically all the members they can recruit. Those who are truly in power are unlikely to join the Resistance Organization, as they are the beneficiaries of the Church's rule. How could they possibly help the Resistance Organization overthrow the very foundation of their own power?

Chen Mo didn't expect to recruit government, military, or Church personnel of high status; recruiting more department heads like the head of the Free Reading Room would be enough.

With J.A.R.V.I.S.'s help, the Resistance Organization's influence within the government and military expanded rapidly, and an invisible net was quickly being cast in the shadows.

When the net is spread out big enough, it's time to haul it in!

After wiping out that large armed gang last time, Chen Mo went on several more missions, but the targets were all small groups of a dozen or twenty people. Chen Mo didn't even bother to call the troops or John Preston. He simply drove ahead, quickly took out all the targets, and returned to the city, leaving behind a mess for the belated troops to deal with and search for and destroy the contraband.

That evening, Chen Mo single-handedly wiped out an armed gang hiding near Libya City. As he was driving back into the city, he received a report from J.A.R.V.I.S..

"Sir, two minutes ago, John Preston's wife was reported for committing Emotion Crime, and Vice Chairman Dupont is preparing to send you to lead a team to make the arrest."

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but recall a scene from a movie: John Preston's wife was arrested and cremated for Emotion Crime, which was a major factor in his eventual betrayal of the Church.

DuPont's decision to send someone to arrest his partner's wife truly shows that he treats them all as emotionless puppets, whom he can order around at will. Thinking of this, Chen Mo's eyes turned cold.

Soon, Chen Mo received orders from the Church to go directly to John Peston's residence and lead a team to arrest John Peston's wife.

Chen Mo hung up the phone expressionlessly, drove smoothly through the gate of the giant wall, entered the Libya City, and drove along the road towards the city center. He soon arrived at John Peston's house.

The search team soldiers had been waiting for a long time. Chen Mo got out of the car with a cold expression and led the way towards John Peston's house. The other soldiers quickly followed.

Two soldiers were already standing guard at John Peston's door. When they saw Chen Mo approaching, they immediately stood at attention and saluted.

Chen Mo stopped in front of John Peston's house and nodded slightly to the soldier leader beside him.

Four soldiers armed with rifles stepped forward. Just as the leader's hand fell, the first soldier slammed open the door, and the four men rushed into the room with their guns drawn.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

After the four rushed into the room, they found a woman holding clothes and standing with her back to them not far from the door. John Preston, dressed in casual home clothes, was standing further inside the room, about ten meters away from them.

The four men shouted for them not to move while pointing their guns at the two people inside the house. Two of them quickly stepped forward and grabbed the woman.

Upon seeing this, John Preston's previously gentle expression instantly changed, and he quickly rushed towards the group.

"Stop! Stand still!"

"Get down! Get down!"

The other two immediately shouted to stop him, and pointed their rifles at John Preston, who was Speed towards them, ready to fire at any moment.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing the Church's strongest force, High Priest John Preston. Before they could pull the trigger, Preston had already rushed up to them.
