Payne recalled back then how Bewoh and the grandmaster sealed Donghai''s office during that Mirror world incident.


    So when Bewoh hinted at it earlier, he immediately understood his task. -- To keep Botan busy.


    But how did Bewoh know Botan was carrying evil? Payne had no concept of the 3rd eye and could only go on blind faith.


    Unlike the others, he knew the Grandmaster and Bewoh had history with the Kwo''s and this Botan guy.


    And though there was no evidence, he felt the matter of the couple falling into aa had something to do with them.


    He had opted to investigate, but the Grandmaster rejected his offer.


    It indeed made sense, seeing the way the Grandmaster moved from ce to ce fighting crime.


    There were bigger fish out there killing to deal with. And the grandmaster probably had his own ns on the matter after dealing with what he already had on his te.


    Erh-erhm.


    Payne coughed lightly, taking a step closer.


    "Mr. Botan... While the search is carried out, you will answer some questions for the record."


    "Hmm..."


    Botan wasn''t phased. To him, there was no way anyone would trace the disappearances to him.


    First, his sudden strength gave him the advantage of sneaking around during odd hours.


    No one heard him move, and everyone had already seen him enter his space. So how could he be in 2 ces at once?


    He had a good alibi there. The many cameras... Though for whatever reason, every time he moved around, the camera film would shake and twitch in static motion until he was gone.


    But this didn''t mean he was guilty.


    With everyone going on, including the flowers dying, the light twitching, and whatnot, everyone felt the entire ce had problems.


    .


    Again, his actions were so clean when dealing with his victims, never leaving any trace of blood, bones, or meaty chunks.


    As for their clothes, he took them far away before burning them to ashes.


    There wasn''t even a piece of thread closer to his chamber that stated he was the culprit. So how can anyone sentence him without evidence?


    In truth, Botan felt a part of him didn''t care whether he was caught or not.


    Why? Because he had decided to be a living God in this world.


    Only he deserved to be worshiped, praised and feared.


    He had always wanted power, wanting to reach for the top.


    So why be content with a mere guard position, even if it was a head guard?


    No!.. With his trusty ''friend'' beside him, everyone will have no choice but to bow due to his strength.


    He would be the Godfather of this new era!


    He even envisioned turning the world back to the eras of deadly violence, with him being ruler, having 50 to 100 consorts waiting at his side.


    The thing in his ring guaranteed it could keep him alive toll 90 at best. So wasn''t that all still great?


    He felt the period was enough to leave a footprint in the sands of time. But people like Botan were always greedy. Even if that day came, Botan would still fight to look for ways of Immortality.


    There were always people like this. But for now, he was satisfied with the arrangement.


    .


    Whatever.


    With his hands in his pockets, Botan unhurriedly answered the questions.


    Meanwhile, Ghu Sota nervously ced a few talismans on a nearby vent while also searching the room for hidden spaces he and the other missed.


    Who knows if there''s a tap door somewhere in here?


    ''Is this right? Did I do it right?''


    First day on the job made the butterflies in his belly flutter.


    Bewoh ran his hands along the corners of the bookshelf, walls, and other ces, secretly creating the formation. Of course, he wouldn''t put thest piece yet, lest it startles the enemy.


    That ring...


    Bewoh''s 3rd eye could see something swimming in it. Additionally, the purple mist oozed out of the wrong continuously too.


    What is the situation here?


    The inspectors and field agents didn''t want to be outdone. So they too moved about, trying to find any clues.


    It was just that they weren''t allowed to disrupt or take out anything these strange people had ced.


    Payne''s instructions were very clear, even threatening them with a demotion.


    Everyone felt unwilling but said nothing.


    Bewoh did onest check, nodding in satisfaction, seeing that the group of disciples had performed well.


    Good.


    "Protect the rest."


    "Yes, elder." The gang answered in unison.


    Payne thinned his lips, a little ashamed with the arrangement. But what else could he do?


    No one had their weapons and could only unwillingly watch the group gather them.


    Some couldn''t take it anymore. "Sir, are you being serious?"


    "Shut up! You will only be in the way."


    How so?


    They didn''t believe it!... That is until things got a whole lot real!


    .


    What''s going on?


    Botan suddenly felt the atmosphere strange.


    Why were the police leaving matters to Bewoh?


    Was he a hidden ''incredible'' detective of some sort?


    Bewoh tilted his head, raising his left hand slowly.


    And soon...


    ~Click.


    He snapped his fingers, and all formation came alive.


    What?!!!


    The creature in the ring was shocked.


    [Exorcism... Exorcism... How could it be here?]


    The creature had almost died in the hands of any underworld creature, having 85% of its strength vanish.


    That was all its hard work gone down the drain!


    Thus, it had no choice but to hide in this ring, biding its time until it grew stronger.


    So it indeed knew a little more than other lesser beings on the matter of exorcism.


    It hated to say it, but its strength was now simr to the many brainless young beings.


    It shook in disbelief within the ring.


    It didn''t understand... It couldn''t understand...


    How can this be happening?


    Bewoh raised his lips and smiled mischievously.


    Sure enough, revenge was such a sweet thing. Still… he couldn''t go overboard. After all, he was an exorcist bound by thews of heaven!


    "Mr. Botan Riverre... Do you know your crime?."
