She is now focusing most of her energy on reforming the Redemption Department.

Although we have achieved initial success, there are still significant problems.

In addition, she can sense these people's desires and all sorts of filthy thoughts simply by sensing their emotions.

Furthermore, these people thought their methods were discreet, so they used various means to create trouble in order to bump into her, which instead interfered with her work.

In comparison, she still thinks Nemes is a more suitable choice.

Having determined that Nems was outstanding, Isabella took the initiative to learn more about him; she was not the kind of woman who would simply wait passively.

However, even now, there still seems to be some distance between them.

I feel like something's missing.

She could see her own reflection in Nemus's eyes, but the reflection was too illusory.

“Perhaps he didn’t mean it that way,” Isabella shook her head, setting aside these personal matters.

Life is not just about love; there are many other pursuits. For example, she is now planning to go to the South District to provide treatment for the elderly and injured who have difficulty moving around.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Isabella turned her head to the side, her brows furrowing slightly.

Chapter 213 Exposure

“They’ve finally made a move.” Zovin’s body was even rougher now. If he were left in the North District now, he would be immediately called a bastard and the North District sentries would be called to check his identity and expel him from the North District.

Judging from his appearance alone, aside from having fewer scars on his face, he might be even more ferocious than Anse, whom he was once wary of.

At this moment, guided by Lillian, he quickly made his way towards his destination.

Just now, Lillian noticed something was wrong. The two fugitives seemed to have suddenly received some information, so they put down the woman in their arms and went outside.

It was clear that they had received some kind of remote message and had a new mission.

This was the first time Zuo Wenming had seen these two on a mission, as he had been secretly monitoring them.

These two men usually lived a life of extravagance, as if they had endless money. If Zuowen hadn't known their true nature, he would never have imagined that the two men who almost drowned in the women's paradise would be so fierce.

Meanwhile, the duo were unaware that they were being watched, and they were on their way to carry out a mission.

Most of their daily tasks are related to smuggling.

Although Nemes has partnered with the tavern, most people with a bit of knowledge know that whale products are off-limits, but there are always some newcomers who are clueless.

It's September now, and just recently, a blue-eyed whale and a baby whale completed their mating.

That's right. During the last mating season, the blue-eyed whale was already pregnant, and this time it is transferring the newly developed embryo to the baby whale.

So in September, a group of newcomers followed the path of the Nadeshiko whale to the Azure Whale.

Compared to Qiquan City, most outsiders choose to stay in Baiwei Town for a period of time.

Among them were outlaws from other places.

Many of them had offended powerful figures elsewhere, forcing them to flee to this place.

Such people lack respect for the strong.

Those who come here more cautiously will choose to gather intelligence and then integrate into the local community as needed.

Others, however, don't care about these things at all; they don't have that many thoughts on their minds.

In their minds, they were clean and efficient; they simply killed the person, stole the goods, hid somewhere, and once the heat died down, they could live a carefree life.

In a city as big as Baiwei Town, who could possibly find them?!

Just now, a few audacious individuals took advantage of the tavern staff's negligence and raided a transit warehouse, looting all the goods stored inside.

Although it's just a transit warehouse and there aren't many goods, it represents a lot of face.

Those guys were pretty good, so Op contacted the two outlaws.

As for those people from other places, their positions were merely what they considered to be concealed.

The battle itself was not particularly dangerous.

Although the two outlaws enjoyed a life of luxury, their resources were different from those of these people.

Resources are not just material resources, but also resources in other aspects.

For example, the quality of breathing techniques, sword skills, spells, and other enhancements.

The men who had robbed the goods were still dividing their loot when the two men sneaked up nearby and killed them all before they could put up any resistance.

"We'll hang them all out on the street then, so those outsiders know who they can't mess with." The man with the knife pulled up one of the men's clothes, wiped the blood off his knife, and casually said to the other man.

"Then why don't you chop them into such tiny pieces?" the archer complained, the sudden increase in workload making him unhappy.

"Hurry up, hang them all up, then go collect the reward. We're almost out of money." The knife-wielder said dismissively to his companion's complaint, "I'll treat you tonight after we're done."

He was already firing his gun like a dragon, but was forcibly interrupted. He couldn't release his anger, so it's normal that he used a little more force.

Zawain, who was hiding in the shadows, accurately caught the knife-wielder's words, "Claim your reward."

They don't need to contact their superiors to pass on information, but they'll need to contact other people in Naim to collect the money.

Zuowen immediately realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had arrived.

According to the information obtained from Lillian, the most important thing to obtain the historical number is to control the course of history step by step, while being able to bear the 'responsibility' of history.

In reality, most people's abilities are insufficient.

They have no way of influencing the course of history, nor can they bear the responsibility.

However, those who are unwilling to accept this will choose to control everything around them, both openly and secretly, but the more they do, the more mistakes they make.

Once mistakes accumulate, when the historical transition begins, many people will expose their various problems and then perish suddenly.

This also applies to his father, Xibin.

He wanted to control the overall situation, so he used smuggling to control various personnel.

They even had relatively close cooperation with the largest cult at the time, the Floating World Society.

This led to the collapse of the Floating World Society and the incident in which Xibin was implicated.

Judging from Nems's behavior of forcing his entire family to serve him and then killing them if they refused, Nems is definitely not clean.

He wants to control everything, which will definitely involve many taboos within the church.

If you dig deep enough, everything will be on your side.

Zuowen firmly believed all of this.

The duo were unaware of Zovin's surveillance and tracking, after all, the one possessing Zovin at this moment was a hero-level thief.

Zovin's stealth skills were greatly enhanced at this moment.

So they followed him all the way and came to a group of houses near the church in the northern district. They sneaked into the room and saw Op.

"Near the church, this person is indeed one of Nair's subordinates." Zovin memorized Op's face.

If the other party is able to oversee smuggling operations for Naim, then they must be highly trusted by Naim.

If we continue to follow this line, we will surely be able to uncover Naim's major problem.

But at that moment, Zuowen suddenly sensed something and quickly dodged to the side.

“There’s an intruder.” Op’s eyes narrowed as he received the feedback from the Feather Serpent.

With his advancement to the Iron race, summoning some Feathered Serpents was no longer a significant burden.

As a result, some Feathered Sky Serpents have always been hiding and living in this area.

If the Feathered Serpents do not move vigorously, even Iron-type creatures will have difficulty detecting them; they are the best hidden guards.

The intruder's stealth skills were extremely advanced, but he overlooked this point.

This revealed their true colors.

The two fugitives immediately realized something was wrong. They had just arrived, and the intruders had followed closely behind, probably not with them.

If this isn't handled properly, I might lose my salary, and then I won't be able to enjoy myself.

Chapter 214 Caught Red-Handed

Isabella tilted her head and looked at the sky not far away, seemingly sensing something unusual.

However, from the current visual and sensory perspective, everything seems to be normal.

"Someone actually made a move near the church?" If it weren't for Isabella, she would probably have thought it was just her imagination.

But she was different; her perception was rarely wrong.

Just now, something definitely went wrong in that place.

Thinking this, Isabella quickly moved closer to that direction.

At the same time, the information is reported through the grid, requesting certain support.

The opponent's cover-up methods are very strong, so it can be confirmed that the opponent's strength is not too bad.

The church was nearby, and requesting assistance was much easier than expected.

However, just as Isabella sent her request for backup, Op and the others on the other side received the message that Isabella was on her way.

If it were other clergy members, the problem wouldn't actually be that serious.

The reason why Op and his group chose to use the area next to the church as their base was naturally after careful consideration.

This place connects the north and south districts and is located upstream of the Weizhong River, making it a transportation hub. Otherwise, the church would not have been set up here in the first place.

This place is also exceptionally advantageous for smuggling in the northern district.

Meanwhile, the smuggling of whale products is an open secret among most of the clergy in the church.

By establishing their base here, they would actually receive protection from most of the church members.

Besides, although this is a base, there isn't much 'evidence' here. It's more of an intermediary management task, and it's mostly a place where money flows.

The noblemen of the North District find it much more convenient to buy whale products here than in the taverns of the South District.

So the smuggling issue isn't too big, but the identities of people like Op and others are a bit of a problem.

Their identities were not hidden much from their collaborators.

Those people could accept it, but Isabella couldn't.

After all, Op and the others were closely related to the old priest from the previous village of Dorsal Fin.

She had always been skeptical about what happened in the backwater village, and seeing Op and the others working for Nemus now only fueled that skepticism.

If Isabella insists on continuing the investigation, it will inevitably strain her relationship with Nemes.

Meanwhile, at the new base of the fictional agreement, Nemus sensed the changes at the church and couldn't help but sigh, realizing that the changes brought about by the historical transition period were indeed opportunities to seize.

It just so happens that the research on soul components has yielded new results on the Fictional Agreement side today, which is why he came here.

It was precisely at this moment that Kru's multiple curses reached a critical point, making it impossible for him to intervene.

Poole was also by his side. The results of this soul accessory project were related to whale transformation, so he was here as well.

On the church's side, there was really no one who could support Oppe or stop Isabella at this moment.

“Zoven…you’ve grown up so fast.” Nemus observed the intruder through the Oath Rope on Op’s body. Although his appearance had changed, he still recognized him as his nominal disciple.

After being discovered by Op, Zovin's first reaction was to run away.

However, when Op and his group showed little desire to attack, and even cast spells to conceal what was happening here.

Zuowen immediately changed his plans, stalling Opus and escalating the situation.

After all, strictly speaking, although Zovin is a wanted criminal by the church, he has not been tried, so he is only a suspect, not a criminal with conclusive evidence.

The crime committed by Xibin was serious, but it didn't warrant implicating his family in public.

However, besides these obvious problems, there are also hidden problems.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Xibin's family has a lot of resources, and it's foreseeable that his family won't fare well now that Xibin has fallen. Too many people will come to kick him while he's down.

That's why Xibin traded the secrets of the fairy for Nemus's help.

After that, the troubles involving the Xibin family gradually faded away under Nemes's protection.
