The temporary chairwoman of the Senate was a timid elderly woman. Her first reaction to such an unexpected windfall was to publicly refuse to take over the presidency. And this unprecedented event—soone actually refusing to take over the presidency of Arica—remarkably caused little stir in the dia. It was as if the people in the various states no longer cared much about the Federal Governnt. Even the state governnts didn't have the ti to pay attention to this highly unusual event.
All this was because sothing even more important to all of humanity had occurred.
Just a few days ago, the Texas State Governnt had suddenly announced Hell's descent. In that public video, the hideous faces of Hell Creatures, beings that should have existed only in legends, left everyone's minds completely blank. As for the Texas Governor's subsequent plea for help, ordinary people who heard it instinctively shook their heads.
Deal with those Demons from mythical Hell? Forget it! That should be a matter for the priests and Exorcists of The Holy See to worry about... Right, this isn't so kind of April Fool's joke, is it?
The Federal Governnt was in chaos, with politicians, each with their own agenda, still vying for power and profit. As for Texas's call for help, it was clearly not on their priority list.
However, the Military reacted quickly, imdiately issuing a statent that they would participate in resisting the invasion from Hell. Seeing this, the other states breathed a collective sigh of relief. They trusted in Arica's formidable military power; surely, even Demons from Hell wouldn't be a problem!
But the subsequent calls for help from three other states completely shattered this wishful thinking. California, Arizona, and New xico, joining Texas—the first to send out a plea for help—ant four large states were now asking for aid simultaneously, an unprecedented scene.
After carefully assessing the war's situation, the states closest to the battlefield were the first to deploy their National Guard units. As for the Federal Governnt, which should have been the first to act in such a situation, it had been forgotten by everyone.
「New York City, inside the Exorcism Agency.」
Chu Feng sat in his office, quietly listening to Jessica's report from the other end of the line.
The Texas State Governnt is still thinking of independence even now? Well, I sowhat understand the motive behind this public plea for help!
...
It's not chaotic enough yet. Only when this bald eagle is completely dead can a new order be established on its corpse. Otherwise, its death throes will be unbearable!
...
Do you think the governors of the other major states are fools? Isn't the vacant, uncared-for presidential position the best proof?
...
"Alright, tell your people to prioritize their safety. Those Demons from Hell are not weak!"
After hanging up, Chu Feng turned towards the window. The faintly visible red glow seeping through the glass cast an eerie hue upon the office floor.
I wonder how much longer this quiet ti will last...
Shaking his head lightly, Chu Feng stood up, walked to the window, and raised an eyebrow at several figures that had suddenly appeared outside the building.
A few vampires? Quite bold of them!
This is the Exorcism Agency building. Those vampires couldn't possibly have mistaken it for so bar or nightclub, could they?
「anwhile, in the various rooms of the Agency building.」
All the Exorcists, busy with their tasks, suddenly paused. Seeing the warning talismans in their offices reacting, they all found it hard to believe.
What kind of Bizarre is this? Has it lost its mind?
The Exorcists, their eyes wide with astonishnt, all put down their work. Picking up their exorcism weapons and tools, they headed outside.
Debbie, now the manager's assistant, hurried out of her office with lulan. She paused briefly, noticing that other doors around them were already open.
"lulan, hurry! Those guys are moving too fast. If we're any later, we'll miss everything!"
A Bizarre appearing at the Agency was a rare event.
「Outside the Agency building,」
Alec, the butler of the de Nocte Vampire Family, gazed at the towering building before him, his fingers trembling involuntarily. How can there be so many powerful auras? Could we have stumbled into the Religious Tribunal in Ro?
"We need to retreat, now!"
Alec's sudden command left the vampires behind him puzzled. They stood rooted to the spot, looking at each other.
"Aren't we here to complete the task assigned by the Madam?"
Alec paid no heed to their reactions. Seeing them standing there dumbfounded, he inwardly cursed them as fools and transford into a streak of bloody light, shooting into the distance.
The next second, with a LOUD BOOM, Alec, who had just shot off, was sent flying straight back.
In front of him, a bald, powerfully built man who had suddenly appeared was slowly retracting his fist.
"Touk, how are you so fast!"
Samor, arriving late, glanced regretfully at the figure already collapsed on the ground in the distance.
"That's called strength!" The bald bruiser shrugged, his face full of smug satisfaction.
"TCH! Touk, next ti you brag, pick sowhere private! I personally saw you take out your knuckle dusters right in front of the building," another teasing voice chid in. As they spoke, dozens of Exorcists, ard with various exorcism weapons, appeared in the plaza before the Agency building.
These guys, why have they all co out! Samor stared, seeing his colleagues already encircling the fanged vampires. It's just a few vampires. Is such a big fuss necessary?
"Don't you know yet? Just think about the conditions for promotion to Sixth Level Exorcist!" Touk, seeing his expression, chuckled, shook his head, and patted Samor on the shoulder in reminder.
"Sixth Level Exorcist... that requires Spiritual Power over one hundred, and participation in handling low-rank... Evil Spirits..." Samor muttered, realization dawning. He chuckled to himself and turned back towards the building. There's no need for a Sixth Level Exorcist to intervene here!
"Fuck! And here I thought so powerful Bizarre had shown up!"
The other Exorcists, who now had a clear view of the attacking Bizarre's appearance, simultaneously shook their heads in disappointnt. We thought our luck had finally turned, but it's just a few idiot vampires!
"What do we do?"
"What else? Deal with them, of course! Are you actually thinking of bringing these vampires into the building for Manager Taran to see?"
"Uh... no, no, no!" The Exorcist who had asked the question shuddered, imagining Manager Taran's likely reaction.
Seeing themselves surrounded by Exorcists, Alec and the other vampires didn't dare make a move. Their opponents not only outnumbered them but were also far stronger. If a fight broke out, they would probably be reduced to ash instantly.
But upon hearing the Exorcists' discussion, Alec grew anxious.
"Wait! We need to talk!"
