"[ Elation ]? [ Destruction ]?"

" The Masked Fools? The Annihilation Gang?"

It's hard to imagine that Afrit would dare to publicly fabricate and frame Ye Yan for the assassination of the company's executive in his declaration of " Eternity ".

This is not just a frame-up; it's an attempt to nail the " Church of Eternity " to the pillar of shame throughout the world!

Faced with this blatant provocation, other factions might simply ignore you, but the Church is different, my friend. Do you even understand the title of the best ally of the Xianzhou Alliance?

Ah, let's just use the Alliance Jade Abacus they gave us... so that Afrit can die with some dignity.

Topaz tried to calm them down, but before she could offer any words of comfort, Blake retorted, "I'm frighteningly calm right now, Ms. Topaz."

He still presented himself with a smile, but Topaz couldn't help but feel that there was a hint of dread in that smile.

The [ Annihilation Gang ]'s declaration of war alone was not enough to anger the two [ Eternity ] Emanator, but... but every time, the [ Masked Fools ] would get involved!

Blake understands the need to have fun; he often does it himself, such as regularly supplying the [ Tavern ] with Church -branded soaps.

But... these Masked Fools shouldn't be making fun of Ye Yan! This is going a bit too far!

"Mere embers of hellfire... dare you touch [ Eternity ]?"

Fulisina's voice was flat, her pointed ears vibrated at high frequencies, and her originally emerald-green pupils turned dark.

"Three days later, the insects will know—" She suddenly tore off a piece of her silver hair, as the last trace of green in her eyes vanished.

"What is true... [ Eternity Funeral ]?"

When [ Eternity ] no longer celebrates the long and magnificent cycle of reincarnation, but instead becomes a countdown to extinction... you wouldn't believe it, would you? This is the true terror of Fulisina after she tears away her disguise!

"Hey, stop acting all childish now."

An untimely voice interrupted Fulisina, and the corners of her mouth visibly drooped.

Blake held the soap; if she were to be provoked by the actions of an ant, then she might as well find someone else to be her Church.

The most bewildered of all was Topaz. At this moment, she finally understood why everyone said that the " Eternity " Emanator's thought process was incomprehensible; no one could hold back.

"The plan is clear: you go to the [ Annihilation Gang ] and teach that fire ant a lesson... I'll deliver some local specialties to the [ Tavern ]."

And so, the two [ Eternity ] Emanator embarked on a spontaneous journey.

After Blake and Fulisina left, Topaz received a message from Aventurine, one of his companions from the Ten Stonehearts.

"Hey, not bad luck. You messed up this project, but your rank didn't change at all. Looks like the higher-ups are looking out for you..."

As expected of a company, their internal information spreads incredibly fast.

"This time it has nothing to do with the higher-ups. This incident involves classified information, and Jarilo-VI has already been unilaterally signed by the [ Church of Eternity ]."

Aventurine had initially thought that Topaz's position would be demoted at least one rank, but now he'd been mentioned in the Church of Eternity...

Well, it seems that Jarilo-VI's debts are more interesting than he imagined.

" The Church of Eternity? Ah... you've run into the second most insane faction in the entire world. I feel a little sorry for you."

Even the " Genius Society " might not be as insane as the " Church of Eternity." Those priests are capable of anything in their pursuit of the purest Eternity.

As for the number one madman, it has to be the [ Antimatter Legion ].

"I told you long ago, the Jarilo-VI case is obviously thorny, and there's not much profit to be made from it, so why get involved?"

"In our line of work, you can't be too kind-hearted, otherwise, your path will only become narrower and narrower..."

Topaz's lips twitched. He should have just assigned this task to him. "... Is there anything else? I'm hanging up."

"Hey, don't hang up! You're really not in a chat state, huh? Okay, then let's talk about something you might be interested in. When you were playing the friend game in Jarilo-VI, [ Diamond ] managed to win over the big boss of the Building Material Logistics Department."

"That's why I missed today's roundtable meeting."

" Taravan?"

Aventurine's voice held a hint of joy as he replied:

"Yes, the infamous Taravan, a member of the seven-member board! His vote is finally going to be on us, you understand? We... not the Market Development Department. This time Oswaldo won't be laughing!"

"Oh, I almost forgot... he's not even awake yet, so how can you talk about whether he's smiling or not?"

"However... Topaz, [ Diamond ] is a benefactor to both of us. On such an important day, your sudden appearance makes things a bit difficult for the Strategic Investment Department to explain, doesn't it?"

"Since you understand, let's get down to business: I'm currently in Pier Point, dealing with a huge deal that affects the entire department, and I'm short a reliable project manager for this trip... My friend, you're the perfect fit!"

"Interesting. What case Guild you about [cooperation]?" Topaz patted Numby's head, quite surprised.

"What else could it be, [ Penacony ]?"

Topaz's mind cleared instantly. "... What?"

"That's right~ that's the kind of reaction I like."

" Diamond ultimately chose you? I thought it would be [ Opal ]... or [ Sugilite ]... That deal required at least someone at P46 level or higher to handle it."

"Who knows? The people in that [ The Family ] aren't exactly crazy. Trying to do business with them? I don't think it's going to work."

"But the company's methods are never limited to [transactions]. This is when someone like me should step in, right? How about it? It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Think about it; maybe you can make amends."

Cough cough cough cough!

At the Goethe Hotel, a violent coughing fit was heard, and Ye Yan patted Silver Wolf on the back.

How could you choke on a sip of water?

Ye Yan handed over a cup of milk tea, "Have some milk tea to calm your nerves."

"Are you serious???" Silver Wolf looked incredulous, but the main point wasn't the water or the milk tea!

"Hey, look at this!" Silver Wolf shoved his phone right in front of Ye Yan's face. "When did you go to Pier Point? And you even beat up their manager!"

Ye Yan:...

"Miss Silver Wolf, is that really how you see me?"

Without even questioning the truth, Silver Wolf immediately concluded that it was Ye Yan who did it!

"Please... you're an Eternity Emanator! In this world, is there anything Emanator can't do?"

For some reason, Silver Wolf has always had a biased view of the [ Eternity ] Emanator, ultimately because the shock Blake brought her was too great.

The Church's motto is "real"—when they say "take it all," they mean it!

Sigh~ These days, the [ Eternity ] Emanator's standards are so low. Putting aside her plan to paint Punklorde- style graffiti on the Yite sculpture, doesn't Blake have done anything wrong at all?

In conclusion, it's not surprising that Silver Wolf identifies Ye Yan as the culprit behind the attack on Oswald Schneider! After all, [ Eternity ] is a pragmatist.

Regardless of the circumstances, Silver Wolf fully supports the Church's fight against the Annihilation Gang! She wants to see rivers of blood flow!
