In the inner city of Jus Saint City, there is a middle-aged man and a young man in the study room of a villa that ranks among the top three in the entire city of Jus Saint.
The middle-aged man is in his forties. His hair is neatly combed back and his hairline is quite high.
His temperament is a little cold, giving people a feeling that he is not easy to get close to.
The young man is in his twenties, and his appearance is somewhat similar to that of a middle-aged man.
But unlike the middle-aged man's high hairline, the young man also has thicker hair that is combed diagonally.
These two people were Simon Cooper, Viscount Cooper, and his son Hubert Cooper.
"How is the situation in the city currently? Has the Security Bureau made any changes?"
Simon Cooper asked.
"Everything is normal, no abnormality was noticed."
Hubert Cooper shook his head and then asked.
"Father, what are you worried about?"
"A transcendent member of the Security Bureau died under the siege of the Shadow of Darkness. The Security Bureau will never give up and will definitely launch a siege against the Shadow of Darkness. This must be guarded against."
Simon Cooper said in a deep voice.
"Father, don't worry. With the identity of the Viscount family as a cover, and our extreme caution and caution, it should be difficult for the Security Bureau to discover that this villa is a Shadow of Darkness stronghold."
Hubert Cooper said confidently.
"Don't underestimate the Intelligence Department of the Security Bureau. Last year, Dragon Sin sacrificed Mercer City and angered the Security Bureau."
"Although Dragon Evil was on guard and was careful enough, the strongholds lurking in the Kingdom of Heidelberg were still found and eradicated one by one."
Simon Cooper warned with a serious expression.
"yes."
Not daring to talk back, Hubert Cooper responded quickly, hesitated, and asked.
"Father, judging from the situation over the years, joining the Shadow of Darkness has done more harm than good to us. Why did you take the risk of annihilation and resolutely join the Shadow of Darkness?"
"Because of the doomsday prophecies."
Simon Cooper said in a deep voice.
"Doomsday prophecy? Isn't that a lie deliberately fabricated by religious organizations in order to attract believers to join?"
Hubert Cooper said in surprise.
According to the doomsday prophecy, the gods will eventually come, the world will eventually return to the rule of the gods, and all unbelievers will be purged by the gods.
Only believers can receive the blessings of the gods, avoid being purged, and continue to live.
Among the followers of the Shadow of Darkness whom he had come into contact with, many people said this. He always thought that this was just a method used by religious organizations to attract believers.
"That's not a lie, it's a true prophecy!"
Simon Cooper shook his head and said.
"Father, why are you so sure that is not a lie, but a true prophecy?"
Hubert Cooper asked in confusion.
"I served as the chief of guard in the palace in my early years. By chance, I overheard a conversation between His Majesty and a Duke."
"I learned that an extraordinary person from the Security Bureau who practiced secret prophecy also predicted the end of the world before he died."
Simon Cooper said in a deep voice.
Great prophecy is a secret technique that requires master-level divination as a prerequisite. Mystics who practice this secret technique have the ability of divination and can use divination to display various precognitive abilities.
As for doomsday prophecies, if they were just self-propaganda by religious organizations, he would naturally not believe it. However, even an extraordinary person from the Security Bureau predicted the doomsday before he died, so he had no choice but to believe it.
"Not only the extraordinary figures of religious organizations, but also the extraordinary figures of the Security Bureau predicted the end of the world before they died..."
Hubert Cooper was shocked and finally understood why his father took great risks and took refuge in the large religious organization Shadow of Darkness.
"Although religious organizations are now suppressed by several major occult organizations and have to hide in the dark, once the gods come, the situation will be reversed in an instant."
"In the short term, joining Dark Shadows will do more harm than good, but in the long run, joining Dark Shadows will do more harm than good."
"Not only can the family be preserved, but it can also bring returns to our family hundreds and thousands of times."
Simon Cooper said.
"From the Empire of Night to the present, for thousands of years, religious organizations have been suppressed by occult organizations. Do occult organizations have any countermeasures that can counter the coming gods?"
Hubert Cooper was still worried.
"This is impossible. In front of the gods, even if they are extraordinary, they are just ants and will be crushed to death without any resistance."
"Although the secretarial organization may have trump cards, the gods are great beings that are far superior to humans. Facing the gods, any trump card is useless."
Simon Cooper shook his head and said.
"Being able to easily destroy a city is terrifying enough. It's hard to imagine how powerful the extraordinary gods are who can easily kill them."
Hubert Cooper was shocked.
"That is so powerful that we, as humans, cannot imagine."
Simon Cooper sighed.
"Father, when will the gods come?"
asked Hubert Cooper.
"The gods are existences that are far superior to humans. Even the most adept at divination is difficult to accurately grasp the specific time of the gods' arrival and the opportunity for their arrival."
Simon Cooper shook his head, and when he said this, he frowned slightly and said.
"Although I don't regret taking refuge in the Shadow of Darkness, I feel a sense of uneasiness in my heart. Maybe we have been targeted by the Security Bureau."
"Impossible, I sent a special person to monitor the Security Bureau, and the Security Bureau did not make any changes."
"Furthermore, there is no surveillance around the villa. The Security Bureau probably has not discovered that our villa is a stronghold of the Shadow of Darkness."
Hubert Cooper said confidently.
"Having said that, I still feel a little uneasy in my heart."
Simon Cooper stood up and walked back and forth in the study.
After a moment, he stopped, made a decision and said.
"Just in case, we will evacuate the Holy City of Jus and hide. After this period, if nothing happens, we will return to the Holy City of Jus."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
Hubert Cooper responded.
Although he felt that his father was worrying too much, he still left the study and went to make evacuation arrangements.
…
In a lounge of the Security Bureau of Us Saint City, Felin was passing the time while reading the books he borrowed from the Security Bureau.
Bang bang bang!
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Please come in."
After receiving Felin's permission, Susanna Isabel, Deputy Bureau Chief of Us Saint City, walked in quickly and said.
"Elder Sokes, the situation has changed."
"What happened?"
Feilin looked solemn and asked quickly.
"The mystic who was hiding in Cooper's villa in disguise sent back urgent news. Not long ago, Simon Cooper and his son quietly left the villa."
Susanna Isabel said seriously.
"Do you suspect that the Dark Shadow stronghold has sensed the exposure and is already evacuating?"
Felin said in a deep voice.
"Yes."
Susanna Isabel nodded.
"Are you just going out and not planning to escape?"
Felin pondered for a moment and asked.
"I have immediately sent mystics who are good at tracking to track Simon Cooper and his son. The tracking found that Simon Cooper and his son are moving outside the city of Us."
Susanna Isabel said.
"It's very possible that the Shadow of Darkness stronghold has been noticed. It seems that we can only take action in advance."
After hearing this, Feilin was basically certain that the Shadow of Darkness stronghold here had realized that he had been exposed.
The original plan was to wait until after midnight before taking action against the Shadow of Darkness stronghold hidden in the Cooper family villa, but the plan could not keep up with the changes and had to take action in advance.
This will inevitably cause some cultists who were not at the base during the day to escape, but they can't care about that much.
If we wait any longer, more people will flee.
He looked at Susanna Isabel and said.
"Go and invite the other four directors."
Susanna Isabel left and returned soon after, along with the four directors Aubrey Yule, Joyce Ford, Ed Oliver, and Lillis Gallup.
Inform the four people of the emergency, Felin said.
"The time for action is advanced, start taking action now."
"Elder Socks, I request that I hunt down Simon Cooper and his son."
Joyce Ford said with murderous intent in his eyes.
He wanted to personally take action to get rid of Simon Cooper and his son who had slandered the nobles.
"Although it is unlikely that Simon Cooper is a twelve-ring cultist, there is a high possibility that he is a high-ring cultist. It is better to let Director Gallup work with you."
Felin thought about it and said.
"No, if only three high-level people launch an attack on the Shadow of Darkness stronghold, they may not be able to lure out the twelve-level cultists hidden in the Shadow of Darkness stronghold."
"It's enough for me to bring a small team of people. Even if Simon Cooper is a high-level player, I am sure that he and his son will be able to stay."
Joyce Ford shook her head and said.
"Okay, you lead a team of people to hunt down Simon Cooper and his son. Be careful and put safety first. If nothing can be done, you can let them escape first, and then let me hunt them down."
"I possess extremely high-level extraordinary tracking abilities. Even if they can erase their traces, they will still be unable to escape my tracking."
Feline warned.
"I see."
Joyce Ford nodded in agreement, but there was a strong killing intent in his eyes, and he was obviously planning to keep Simon Cooper and his son behind even if he was injured.
Feiling noticed the strong murderous intent in Joyce Ford's eyes and decided to send another director.
But here at the Dark Shadow Stronghold, the three directors are indeed not enough. We can only hope that Joyce Ford will not be too reckless.
He glanced at the five directors and said in a serious voice.
"Then take action!"
Soon after, Joyce Ford led a team of people and quietly tracked Simon Cooper and his son.
The other four directors, with the exception of the mystics who stayed behind in the Security Bureau, lurked towards the Shadow of Darkness stronghold.
Feilin used the invisibility of the Necklace of Invisibility and followed the team of four directors, ready to provide support at any time.
