"Lord Verly, do you want to kill the demon named Xu Fang? After killing him, we can immediately go and capture those two newcomers," Naj asked cheerfully, sounding as relaxed as an office worker about to go on a paid vacation asking their colleagues where they're planning to travel.

Everyone had participated in the "God Descending Plan," and while only the president possessed the power of the God of Destruction, they all had some knowledge of the characteristics of the gods.

As the name suggests, the God of Destruction is the god who can destroy everything. With just a little "medium," the god can deliver destructive attacks on any target.

Creatures struck by the destructive attacks would die silently, and if their bodies continued to be struck, they would completely disappear from this world.

Xu Fang's reply letter was the "medium." Xu Fang's response to Krana was equivalent to handing his fate over to the God of Destruction. From this moment on, Xu Fang's life and death were no longer in his own hands.

"I changed my mind," Verly said. "I want to capture the demon... the K Organization is very interested in demons, so I believe they must have some fascinating traits."

"Capturing the demon will come with great risks..." Josiah hesitantly said.

"Are you afraid that the association, which was supposed to be a guaranteed success, will fail because of greed?" Anri chimed in. "That kind of cliché plot won't happen in reality."

"Anri, making promises is a taboo for the author..." Molan muttered.

"Your concerns are valid," Verly said after a moment of silence. "To ensure a high margin of error, I will erase the demon's consciousness and only preserve its body. But I need more 'mediums.'"

Eliminating consciousness and preserving the body requires extremely precise operations, but the amount of information provided by a letter, a "secondary medium," is too little. The God of Destruction might accidentally annihilate a person if he isn't careful.

The God of Destruction is too powerful, to the extent that enemies would die before they even had a chance to get injured— the fact that the dragons left bodies behind after being attacked by the God of Destruction showed their formidable strength.

To make the God of Destruction accurately eliminate something requires more information.

"What do you mean, my lord... continue letting Krana interact with the demon?" Naj scratched her head and asked.

Krana's expression was somewhat unnatural. She seemed to want to say something but eventually remained silent.

Anri looked at Krana and burst into laughter. "It's time for you to make up for your mistakes. Take a bug or camera and meet that guy named Xu Fang. Audio and video mediums like those will be enough!"

"Hey, this... can't be done!" Krana objected.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid of dying or do you not trust the president's abilities?" Anri continued to mock Krana.

Krana blushed and became anxious and angry. But she couldn't refuse because the current situation was indeed caused by her own fault.

Josiah said, "Krana doesn't need to go, no, she can't go. If Krana is killed, the demon will obtain Krana's memories, and all the association's trump cards will be exposed. The god can kill the demon at any time, but He cannot save the dead."

"In that case, let's kill her before Krana is killed!"

"That's not appropriate either." Josiah glanced at Anri and said coldly, "That website doesn't recognize the God of Destruction. Using Him to kill a teammate would result in a tremendous waste of resources and also contradicts the association's moral principles."

"This is not feasible, that is not feasible, then what do you suggest?"

"It's simple, we don't need Krana to go, we just need a woman who looks very similar to her to go. This way, even if she dies, we won't have any losses."

"I agree with this method. Anri, lend us your connections. I heard you know all sorts of women," Verly said.

"Yes." Anri understood Verly's meaning and smiled. "I happen to have someone who is suitable."

...

One hour later.

People were bustling about at the intersection of Wall Street. The large American flag was fluttering in front of the billboard, and beneath it stood a tall blonde woman.

Camelline looked around the intersection, her face displaying a mix of happiness and nervousness. She was about to faint with joy after being asked out by her crush.

Looks, emotional intelligence, wealth... as long as a man possessed one of these three traits, women would not be lacking around him. And it seemed that Anri had them all, at least on the surface.

Therefore, as long as An Lido lingers in the flowers for a moment, he will attract many admirers. He is a playboy who can package himself as the embodiment of all the elements that women love.

He has many female connections, so it is easy for him to seduce a young female college student. However, because he has experienced too much, he has lost the sense of novelty. Simple "sex" no longer excites An Lido. The easier it is to get, the easier it is to satisfy, and after satisfaction comes disgust.

At this moment, he asked Carmeline out just because she looked like Krina and was suitable as a pawn. She knew nothing about the association, so even if she fell into the hands of the enemy, she would not reveal any secrets. But with the cautious style of the association, the enemy would never be able to capture Carmeline, and they wouldn't even get her body.

"Oh, William, I really miss you~ I can't sleep because I miss you. Why do you have time to see me today?" When she saw An Lido's figure, Carmeline couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms.

"William" is An Lido's pseudonym.

"Darling, you know, I am a secret agent, and my work is very busy. It's not easy for me to find time to see you." An Lido gently stroked the girl's hair and smiled softly. The autumn breeze blew, and the sunlight shone on his side face, reflecting a charming golden color.

Carmeline was stunned and blushed, even more unwilling to let go of An Lido in her embrace. "William, won't I hinder your work? What do you want me for?"

"Can you do me a small favor? I mean, in terms of work. I will pay you enough compensation. You are the only one who can help me." An Lido whispered in her ear.

"No problem, no need for money. As long as I can help William, I'm willing to do anything!" Carmeline felt secretly delighted. It turned out she was the most important person to William. He even needed her help for work, so in the future, she could also help him in his personal life.

"Thank you, I love you!" An Lido gently lifted Carmeline's chin and kissed her.

After the kiss, he looked at the blushing girl and said with a smile, "Come with me."

"Okay."

Next, An Lido took Carmeline to an office, where Emilia, who had been waiting for a long time, used magic to apply makeup on her. Carmeline, who already bore a slight resemblance to Krina, looked even more like her. No, she looked like a replica, at least An Lido couldn't tell the difference.

"Carmeline, keep these listening devices with you. It is crucial to collect the target's voice. Dear, after meeting the target, just have a short conversation and then leave. Leave the dangerous tasks to the organization." An Lido handed several listening devices to Carmeline, "If you complete the mission, can I make a small request?"

"Sure, what do you want?" Carmeline asked with a hint of embarrassment.

"I want us to meet every day from now on."

"Of course." An Lido smiled, "You can even live with me."

"Really? That's great!"

Carmeline happily set off for Boston, while An Lido returned to the association's headquarters.

"Lord Verley, these are a few strands of Carmeline's hair. If things get out of control, you can kill her on the spot." An Lido placed a few strands of golden hair on the table.

Emilia took out a transparent bag and put the hair in it.

"An Lido, your hypocritical appearance is really annoying." Krina next to her said irritably.

Krina knew the significance of An Lido giving the hair to the president—no matter whether Carmeline could complete the mission or not, her fate would only end in death. The only difference was whether it was the demon or the president who would kill her.

Unfortunately, that naive girl, blinded by love, didn't know until her death that An Lido had no feelings for her. After deceiving her body and emotions, he deceived her life.

This made Krina, also a woman, extremely disgusted, but for the sake of the association's interests, she couldn't say much.

"Miss Krina, what were you thinking when you deceived those new recruits? Aren't they also human beings?"

"I was just completing the association's missions!"

An Lido sneered, "I was just completing the association's missions too."

Krina couldn't say anything.

"Lord Verley, we sent another letter to Xu Fang under Krina's identity, but there was no reply. Should we continue with the plan?"

"The demon still doubts Kena, as planned. We just need the fake Kena to get close to Xu Fang and record his voice," the president said casually.

Joseiah felt that things wouldn't be that simple. The president's plan to catch the demon was likely to fail, as Xu Fang wouldn't fall for it. He could only hope that after the plan failed, the president would directly use his abilities to eliminate Xu Fang and avoid any complications.

On the side, Mo Lan held her phone, still idling around.

...

The next day, Camelline arrived in Boston. To avoid suspicion, the association did not allow Camelline to approach Xu Fang and the others directly.

On the controller's map, the three markers representing Xu Fang, Lianyue, and Mayoucai moved towards the city center, seemingly confident that the association wouldn't use surveillance cameras. They didn't even bother avoiding pedestrians, acting more brazenly.

They wandered around Boston aimlessly, and finally stopped near Trinity Church. It seemed like they planned to meet Kena there.

Everyone's spirits lifted as they realized the opportunity. They instructed Camelline to hurry to Trinity Church.

Camelline cooperated perfectly, swiftly heading towards the destination after receiving the message from Anli. However, just as she was about to reach Trinity Church, Xu Fang and the others suddenly changed direction and headed towards the Berklee College of Music.

Coincidentally, the two parties missed each other.

So the association informed Camelline to go to the Berklee College of Music, but before she could arrive, Xu Fang changed direction once again. This time, they headed straight for Newbury Street.

Compared to the previous two locations, Newbury Street had more people, serving as a natural umbrella.

Joseiah frowned, vaguely sensing something.

Anli simply told Camelline to take the subway directly to Newbury Street and wait there.

After Camelline arrived at Newbury Street, she waited for 20 minutes. Finally, Xu Fang and the others arrived, gradually getting closer to Camelline. She would be discovered soon.

Jerut focused on the screen, waiting for any sound captured by the listening device on Camelline and recording it to give to the president. At this point, the plan would be successfully completed.

But would things go so smoothly?

Everyone thought that Xu Fang would cautiously communicate with Camelline or observe her secretly before making contact. However, Xu Fang didn't play by the rules at all.

The moment Xu Fang spotted Camelline, he immediately launched an attack, destroying the listening device and phone on her. Whether Camelline was alive or dead remained unknown. If she was dead, it would be better. The fear was if she was still alive...

"Lord Virelli, the plan has failed!"

"Camelline is likely exposed. Could she have been captured?"

"This Xu Fang is despicable. He doesn't cooperate at all! Such a person has no value in collaborating. It's better to eliminate him as soon as possible!"

"We didn't plan to collaborate with him in the first place..."

"..."

The crowd discussed fervently.

Virelli lowered his eyelids and gently stroked his teacup. Although these people didn't explicitly say it, they were hinting at their request: Lord President, please don't pursue the demon's body. Just directly kill Xu Fang and Camelline!

Although Virelli had some interest in the demon's body, he wasn't willing to risk it to obtain it. Ultimately, it was just a toy. It wasn't necessary to force it if he couldn't have it.

"Emelie, prepare everything."

"My Lord, everything is already prepared." The elf placed Xu Fang's electronic mail and Camelline's hair in front of Virelli.

Virelli waved his hand.

A force that transcended the rules of the world forcefully erased what should have existed.

As a result, the electronic mail disappeared, and the hair vanished.

Xu Fang, the author of the electronic mail, disappeared, and the owner of the hair, Camelline, disappeared.

"It's over. The demon has been eradicated." Virelli stood up, stretched his neck lazily, and said, "Deal with Lianyue and Mayoucai on your own."

"My Lord, but..."

"What's the matter?"

"Xu Fang hasn't disappeared, he's still on the Controller's map..." Josiah's voice trembled as he spoke.

"Could it be that the Controller has malfunctioned?"

"No, that's not possible, the Controller couldn't have such a basic bug..."

"..."

"The demon is still alive?" Verily opened his eyes slightly, his eyes flickering with surprise and intense interest. "Heh heh, that's interesting. I understand now why it hasn't disappeared."

"Huh?" Everyone looked at the president together.

"Because the person who sent the message to Kana wasn't the demon at all, it was someone else. The god of destruction only killed the person who sent the message." Verily sat back down.

"Wtf? How did Xu Fang know? Did that damn website spoil it?" Anri was not happy.

"Impossible, the website wouldn't break its own rules." Josiah sighed. "Xu Fang has been wary of the god of destruction from the beginning. He figured out that the god of destruction can kill in more than one way, and our actions have confirmed his suspicions."

"What do we do now? Shouldn't we just go and kill them with Verily? After all, the demon doesn't know our location!" Anri suggested.

"That's not appropriate. The demon may also have the ability to remotely monitor others. If we rashly go over, we might be discovered in advance."

"Then what do we do? Just let them be so arrogant?"

Verily chuckled, "Rarely do we encounter such an interesting enemy. Let's play with them properly. First, the Association still has the information on Black Z and Ma Youcai, right? Find a way to put them on the wanted list, so they'll be busy dealing with the police. Second, we need to temporarily control some police officers to help us search for the demon, especially the airport and train station, which should be strictly sealed to limit their range of activity. Lastly... let's see how the dog jumps the fence."

Verily's strategies were pushing them towards a dead end. Once Black Z and Ma Youcai were wanted, they would be unable to enter public places and would become a burden. If Xu Fang wanted to continue protecting them, he would have to face pressure from the US government.

The Association only needed to watch them from behind, and wherever Xu Fang went, he couldn't escape the Controller's eyes.

Josiah couldn't help but feel impressed.

The fear of a powerful enemy didn't come from their strength, but from their intelligence. After obtaining the trump card of the god of destruction, the president never became arrogant and never thought he was invincible. On the contrary, most of the time he considered more and further than an average person.

This was also the reason why Josiah feared the president the most.

...

Under the president's will, everyone started acting and carrying out their orders.

However, another unexpected situation occurred.

The Association was actually listed on the wanted list by the police first!

Did Xu Fang contact the police in advance?

Half an hour ago, the Boston Police Department released a list of 50 wanted fugitives, and the eight members of the Association were among them.

The Association was wanted in the form of portraits, which were depicted vividly and had a high degree of accuracy, almost indistinguishable from photos. Except for Emi, the appearance of everyone else was exposed online.

"Geralt, can you delete or modify this wanted list?" Verily asked.

"My Lord, the police issued the wanted list, which means the Association has been entered into the police department's internal network. Even if we delete the wanted list, the information in the internal network won't be deleted. We are still wanted. We need to find a way to access the internal network and delete the information."

"I see." Verily put down his teacup and signaled Emi to turn on the computer. "Geralt, send the URL of the wanted list to me. I'll directly erase the police department's internal network along with the Association's information."

The god of destruction acted quickly. Within a few breaths, all the information that was unfavorable to the Association disappeared from the internet.

Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they were finally safe, another unexpected event occurred!

And this time, it was the most terrifying of all the surprises.

"Listen, everyone inside! We are the police, and you are surrounded! Drop your weapons and come out of the building. You have three minutes, after which we will throw tear gas into the building!"

Everyone could clearly hear the voice coming from outside the room, as well as the sound of helicopter blades hovering.

"God! Damn it!" Anli exclaimed in shock and anger. He opened a small gap in the curtains, peeked out for a moment, and then pulled his head back. "Oh no, we're surrounded by the police. There are police everywhere, at least a hundred of them. There are even helicopters in the sky! My goodness, Joseya, didn't you say our hideout wouldn't be discovered? How did they find us?"

Joseya weakly hung his head, his face pale. "The arrest warrant was just a trap. Xu Fang's real aim was to lure us into clicking on the wanted website, and then locate our position through the IP address. The police force was already prepared and they surrounded us... Wow, we've been outmaneuvered!"

Once the overwhelming feeling of defeat set in, Josaya couldn't shake it off. He could only hope that the leader would eliminate this monster as soon as possible.

"Xu Fang, well done," Verily said with a low laugh. "Alright, you won the first round. I admit you are a strong competitor. I'll call you by your name. But in the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are futile."

With that, Verily stood up and walked towards the door.

"Master Verily!"

"What are you doing?"

Everyone looked at Verily in surprise, with a hint of expectation and awe in their eyes.

"It's been a while since I've stretched my legs. Some people might think I'm just a paper tiger." Verily smiled and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go deal with those annoying flies."

...

As soon as Verily stepped out of the door, a dozen red dots aimed at vital areas of his body. Any slight movement from him would have turned him into a sieve.

Helicopters hovered in the sky, and police officers inside them shouted through loudspeakers. The yard was filled with police cars, their roofs flashing with bright red lights.

"Raise your hands and walk to the middle of the yard, then squat on the ground. We will send someone to search you! Everyone else in the house, come out too!"

The leader stood with his hands behind his back, standing at the door, smiling as he looked at the guns pointed at him. Slowly, he raised his hands and snapped his fingers.

"Destruction, let all things in the world vanish into thin air, let all order return to chaos. I am the bringer of destruction, I am the god. Those who oppose me will return to nothingness..."

"Xu Fang, traitors, and members of the association, open your eyes wide and witness the power of the god of destruction!"

As if the world line had changed at this moment, or perhaps human minds had gone awry, everything became void, silent, and then an ordinary world.

The world fell silent, the police disappeared, and the helicopters vanished. The sky returned to a deep blue, and the sunlight remained bright.

Witnessing the leader's power again, the people in the room were completely silent.

Hundreds of police officers, dozens of police cars, and a huge helicopter vanished into thin air. The sense of detachment and dislocation merged together, leaving only shock.

They knew that in that fleeting moment, hundreds of lives had disappeared forever from this world, and no one would remember them.

Molan put down her phone and yawned, but halfway through the yawn, she felt the atmosphere become strange and abruptly stopped.

"Um... what's happening?"
