In the outskirts of Loen City, in Senxi Villa.
Old Victor, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, abruptly opened his murky eyes. A fleeting radiance flickered in his old eyes. Then, he reached into the space and retrieved a fist-sized puppet.
The puppet's craftsmanship was very lifelike. Whether it was the eyes, nose, or other organs, they were all exquisitely crafted, making people unable to restrain their laughter. At first glance, one could tell that it was made by a master. But if you carefully looked at the puppet, you would find that it was very similar to Paredes. It could even be said that this puppet was a miniature version of Paredes.
Old Victor stared at the puppet, and his eyes were full of solemnity and doubt. However, a few seconds later, the puppet that looked very similar to Paredes began to crack under Old Victor's annotations. In just a few seconds, the puppet that looked very exquisite was immediately covered with cracks and became very broken.
Looking at the broken puppet in his hand, Old Victor fell into deep thought. After a long while, he blew gently at the puppet.
"Phew …"
An even more unbelievable scene happened. Under Old Victor's blow, the puppet that was full of cracks turned into a pile of powder like quicksand and scattered on the floor tiles of the room.
When Old Victor, who was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room, saw the appearance of the sawdust, his eyes instantly became very cold. After pondering for a while, Old Victor bit his finger and dripped a drop of dark red blood on the pile of powder that the puppet had turned into. This time, Old Victor's blood seemed to have some incredible magical power. It turned into a ball of flame that burned fiercely on the powder.
"Kovacus … Achebe …" As the flame burned on the powder, Old Victor didn't stay idle either. He kept chanting an ancient and obscure Byzantine spell. The ancient spell and the strange flame that burned on the powder made the quiet room look extremely evil and secretive.
After Old Victor chanted for more than ten seconds, the quiet room began to emit an evil energy wave. Then, a dark red light screen appeared on the burning flame on the powder. The image on the light screen wasn't very stable, but one could vaguely see that Paredes was lying on the ground with blood all over his body. He was screaming in pain as countless ants crawled on his body and gnawed on his flesh and organs. The scene was very bloody.
Looking at the image on the light screen, Old Victor's old face completely darkened. The murderous aura on his body couldn't be concealed anymore. He looked very murderous as if he could explode at any time.
The light curtain that showed the miserable state of Paredes before his death only lasted for seven or eight seconds before it completely collapsed. The flames burning on the powder of the puppet were also completely extinguished.
Old Victor fell into a long silence. After a long while, he finally withdrew his murderous aura. After that, Old Victor took out a blue Kaman-style ancient jade pendant from his space ring. He then cast a spell on the jade pendant, and the jade pendant immediately emitted a blue light.
"I must see you. It's very important!" Old Victor said in a low voice as he held the jade pendant in his old hand.

"Marguerite returned to her home 15 minutes ago. Edward, your plan has failed!" In the Storm Cathedral, the charming Ms. Lena walked into Edward's room with a cold face. She said to Edward who was sitting on the sofa in a serious tone.
Hearing Ms. Lena's words, Edward didn't doubt her at all. His originally calm and peaceful face immediately became very unpleasant.
"I don't care what the people you arranged for Edward did in the textile factory, but Edward, you have to stop what you're doing now! Immediately! Right now! Agent Blake, they're already paying attention to you! " Ms. Lena did not seem to care about Bishop Edward's darkened face. She said firmly,
"I know." After a moment of silence, Edward didn't refute Ms. Lena's suggestion. He nodded and said,
"Edward, if you want to be punished by the Church, go ahead. Don't drag me into this!" Although Edward only replied with a simple "I understand" and did not give a definite answer, Ms. Lena knew that with Edward's personality, it was already a huge step back for him to say such words. He would do as she said. Therefore, Ms. Lena's attitude softened and her tone was not as tough as before. She still warned Edward, "Don't worry, Mr. Edward.
"What tricks is Langley playing now?" Understanding the hidden meaning of Ms. Lena's words, Edward's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said in a cold voice,
"Well …" Lena sighed. "Langley might have heard something, or he might have discovered something. Anyway, he arranged several spies to sneak into Zha Ka's textile factory. However, my men were one step ahead of him. They stopped his spies outside Zha Ka's textile factory. Now, Zha Ka's textile factory is under martial law by my men. Without my order, no one can enter!"
After listening to Ms. Lena's explanation, Edward's expression softened. He thanked Ms. Lena sincerely, "Thank you!"
"At this critical juncture, there's no need to thank me. I want to know, Edward, how do you plan to deal with this matter? You should know very well that ever since Langley suffered a setback from you, many of his subordinates from Blake's organization died. Although he's temporarily laying low, he's been unwilling to give up and wants to find trouble with you. Currently, all of Blake's informants in Loen are under his control. Furthermore, you, Adel, have given him this opportunity. Langley definitely won't sit back and do nothing. He will definitely try to seize this opportunity to make things difficult for you, Adel! "Ma 'am Lena continued with a sullen expression.
"If I remember correctly, there are very few people in Blake's branch in Loen. Furthermore, ever since you took over, they have been suppressed by the intelligence agency you lead?" Edward thought for a moment before narrowing his eyes and slowly saying, "You're right.
