Chapter 519 - 328: Fireworks
Beautiful Country Special Agent Bureau.
The atmosphere in the director’s conference room was heavy.
Brick, the newly appointed head of the Special Agent Bureau, sat at the head seat.
Rachel and several other senior officers of the Special Agent Bureau sat around the conference table.
On the other side of the table!
There were several members of the Church Court, all with noble identities as Cardinals!
At this moment!
A Cardinal spoke:
"As far as we know, Lin Lang has a woman in Phantom Star City named Audrey!"
"As long as we control that Audrey, Lin Lang will naturally show up!"
"However, the entire operation process requires the full cooperation of the Special Agent Bureau to succeed!"
Upon hearing this.
Brick frowned in silence and did not immediately respond.
"Director Brick!"
Seeing this!
Another Cardinal added:
"The collaboration between the Church Court and the Special Agent Bureau is an unprecedented powerful alliance!"
"With our combined strength, even ruling the world is not impossible!"
"Don’t let one Lin Lang delay our great progress!"
Upon hearing this!
A flash of cold light crossed Brick’s eyes, and he finally nodded in agreement:
"Then we shall follow the Church Court’s arrangements."
However!
Rachel immediately expressed her opposition—
She stood up and said to Brick:
"Lin Lang is immensely powerful; we are better suited to befriend him rather than making such a powerful enemy!"
A Cardinal immediately retorted:
"Lin Lang is a mutual enemy of the Church Court and the Special Agent Bureau; he must not be spared!"
"Moreover, as far as I know, Director Brick’s fiancée—Miss Natalia, was also taken by Lin Lang, right? He doesn’t even regard you, so what talk is there of befriending him?"
"Besides! As powerful as he may be, can he be stronger than the Church Court?"
...
When the Cardinal mentioned Natalia!
Brick’s expression slightly darkened!
Then he gave Rachel a displeased glance and said in a deep voice:
"I have decided! The Special Agent Bureau will cooperate with the Church Court to eliminate Lin Lang together!"
Rachel reminded:
"Brick, you were framed by Harrison, but it was Lin Lang who helped you! Have you forgotten?"
Upon hearing this!
Several Cardinals scoffed:
"With the Church Court and Mr. Bu Ang’s relationship, we won’t let anyone harm Brick!"
"Even without that Lin Lang, Brick would still be safe!"
"This is nothing but a delusion on Lin Lang’s part!"
Upon hearing this!
Brick’s gaze became increasingly firm, filled with righteousness:
"Though Lin Lang has done me some small favors, in the face of righteousness, I can only make such a choice!"
"Lin Lang’s current strength poses a significant threat to the Church Court, the Special Agent Bureau, and even the entire Beautiful Country’s security!"
"Unless we eliminate him, we cannot be at ease! Even if this betrays him, there is no other way."
The Cardinals nodded in agreement.
After fruitless arguments!
The meeting moved to a hand-raising vote.
The result was surprising—
Aside from Rachel!
Everyone in the Special Agent Bureau supported eliminating Lin Lang!
Brick looked at Rachel, who had been in discord with him all along, with a scrutinizing gaze and spoke coldly:
"Lady Rachel! I know your feelings for Lin Lang are special, which is why you repeatedly favor him."
"But personal feelings must not override the interests of the Special Agent Bureau."
Rachel’s angered laughter broke out, and she retorted:
"This has nothing to do with personal feelings; it’s a matter of principle!"
Let’s set aside the conflict between Lin Lang and the Church Court, who is right or wrong!
Just talking about the last time Demon God Sespeck appeared, it was Lin Lang who stepped forward to resolve it!
If Lin Lang hadn’t timely eliminated Sespeck, allowing a demon god to freely roam in the Beautiful Country, who knows what kind of crisis it would have caused!
But now!
These people repay kindness with ingratitude, citing ’Lin Lang may endanger the Beautiful Country’s safety’ as the reason?
However!
Everyone just gazed at Rachel with doubtful eyes!
As if everything she said was solely to favor Lin Lang!
Brick also said indifferently:
"Principle? As the head of the Special Agent Bureau, I must extinguish all potential threats in their cradle! Even if it means bearing a bad reputation, this is my principle!"
Rachel could no longer suppress her internal fury and said to everyone:
"If you insist on making Lin Lang your enemy, then I choose to walk away!"
"Because ultimately, it won’t be Lin Lang who fails, but you!"
"You simply don’t understand his power!"
With that said!
Rachel furiously left the table!
At this moment!
Brick only felt utterly humiliated!
As the head of the Special Agent Bureau, yet his subordinate repeatedly defied him for Lin Lang!
So he angrily said:
"Rachel, this is a betrayal of the Special Agent Bureau!"
"In light of this, I will revoke your position!"
Upon hearing this!
Rachel stopped in her tracks and glanced back.
But her eyes were full of disappointment and disdain!
Then she walked out of the conference room!
At this moment!
A Cardinal, with a confident smile, slowly said:
"Lin Lang’s power is something the Church Court doesn’t need to understand."
"Because the Church Court’s power is beyond his imagination!"
...
Dark clouds rolled!
The atmosphere in Phantom Star City was oppressive.
A large group of fully armed agents!
Advanced like a black tide!
The massive force continued its pressure towards Phantom Star City, as if it were about to devour the city!
...
Meanwhile!
Inside the Audrey Grand Hotel!
A subordinate rushed in in a panic, voice trembling:
"Miss Audrey, things are bad! The Church Court and the Special Agent Bureau have united, assembling a large number of agents, and they’re headed this way!"
Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Audrey’s eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She stood up, her gaze firm:
