Daybreak.

An Nishang stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her bare beautiful back outlined by the morning sun, each part sculpted like the work of a meticulous Roman sculptor.

Her fair skin reflected the dazzling light in the morning sun, her bare jade feet on the cold floor. An Nishang stretched lazily, fully displaying the curves of her body, making Chen Che feel parched.

This scene was the most tormenting every morning.

Chen Che embraced An Nishang's waist from behind, placing his hand over her fair belly, following her gaze out the bedroom window, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

"Luo Qingtian seems eager, as if he's afraid you'll run away."

Following An Nishang's line of sight, Chen Che saw several cars from the Tax Department waiting outside An Nishang's villa garden.

Clearly here to find him.

Seeing this, Chen Che chuckled and said, "Let them wait then. Let's have some morning exercise, breakfast, and then go out slowly?"

"Mm." An Nishang murmured a response, agreeing.

Chen Che's hand moved downward, lifting An Nishang's long leg, her flexibility was excellent.

Comparable to that of a well-practiced dancer, An Nishang's leg stretched easily into a perfect straight line, forming a split.

They began a new day with morning exercise, releasing their body's flexibility.

...

Just as Chen Che and An Nishang stepped out of the villa.

To Chen Che's surprise, Luo Qingtian was personally waiting there.

Luo Qingtian looked at Chen Che with a smile, but that smile contained a mix of emotions, urgency, excitement, and schadenfreude.

Luo Qingtian even opened the car door for Chen Che himself, smiling as he said, "Mr. Chen, please."

Chen Che smiled broadly and said to Luo Qingtian, "Director Luo, you truly are enthusiastic!"

"Of course, since whether Mr. Chen is part of the Apocalypse Society involves many people in the Ninth Special Zone. For the safety and stability of the Ninth Special Zone, I naturally have to be more attentive."

Chen Che continued casually, "Hearing Director Luo speak so convincingly, I'm almost curious myself if I'm part of the Apocalypse Society. I'll go with you, Director Luo, I really want to see what evidence you have."

As soon as they met, the air was tense.

An Nishang did not accompany Chen Che, but it was Xia Na who followed closely behind, riding with Chen Che in the Tax Department's car.

An Nishang got into her own car, heading towards the Judicial Bureau.

The place to watch the show wasn't here; the stage Luo Qingtian had set naturally required an audience.

Today's events undoubtedly wouldn't end peacefully.

...

In the car, Xia Na poked Chen Che and said, "This guy is so adamant, I have a bad feeling about this."

"No problem, let's see how our Director Luo plans to perform."

Half an hour later, the vehicle arrived at the Tax Department.

Led by Luo Qingtian, Chen Che and Xia Na entered the depths of the Finance Bureau, arriving at its dungeon.

The Finance Bureau was arguably the most prosperous department in the entire Ninth Special Zone, responsible for the region's taxation, holding unique powers.

The Finance Bureau could mobilize all the military forces in the Ninth Special Zone, and it even had its own army.

The Judicial Bureau was responsible for safety and security.

The Finance Bureau controlled the entire economy.

In some ways, the Finance Bureau's power was even greater than that of the Judicial Bureau.

As they ventured deeper into the dungeon, the environment became dark.

The dungeon's decor and appearance were akin to those in spy films, ancient prison cells.

The air carried a faint musty odor along with a whiff of blood.

Chen Che squinted, staring at Luo Qingtian, and said, "Director Luo, you wouldn't want to detain me here and coerce a confession through force, would you?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, I would like to, but unfortunately, I'm not that kind of person, how could I do such a thing?

Moreover, Director An at your home values you greatly. If I did that, wouldn't Director An flay me alive?

Director An, along with other council members, is watching."

Luo Qingtian pointed to a person holding a camera nearby.

Chen Che squinted his eyes, "A live broadcast?"

"That's right, to ensure I don't wrong Mr. Chen and to avoid any other unexplainable situations, I've notified all parliamentary departments, and all the big names in the council, to observe the entire event.

Mr. Chen, you can rest assured now, can't you? I, Luo Qingtian, wouldn't dare do anything to you in front of so many council members."

Hearing these words, Chen Che merely raised an eyebrow. This guy, his words are full of sarcasm.

Let's see what kind of arena he's setting up.

Luo Qingtian was not lying. Now, the entire council is gathered, President of the Council Vazmir, the other major council members... Director of the Finance Bureau Anbesa, Deputy Director Guan Ning... Director of the Judicial Bureau An Nishang...

All of them are watching the live broadcast in the council hall.

In the eyes of everyone present, there was a variety of glints.

They all wanted to know, in the first game between Chen Che and Luo Qingtian, who would win, who would lose?

Especially the two council members from Tasting Commerce Association.

Whether it's for Luo Qingtian or Chen Che, Tasting Commerce Association doesn't have a good impression.

But truthfully speaking, they hoped even more for Chen Che to die.

After all, Chen Che had caused them more harm.

One is a playboy who proved his absolute capability at the Night Empire Headquarters.

The other is a young rising star in the Ninth Special Zone.

Everyone wanted to know what kind of sparks would fly when these two collided.

As Luo Qingtian headed towards the dungeon, he didn't rest but coughed twice and said, "Mr. Chen, I don't know how long you can keep up this facade, but you should remember that my inspection department caught a Yellow-robed Priest from the Apocalypse Society two days ago."

"I know. So what?"

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, you are truly calm. I didn't expect you to have such a good mindset. I thought you'd display a panicked expression upon hearing this."

"I'm also curious why I should be panicked?"

"Because after our relentless interrogation, this Yellow-robed Priest finally spoke up. Last night, he decided to save his own life by exposing spies inserted into the entire council bureaucracy.

Mr. Chen, why don't you guess whose name he mentioned?"

Chen Che slightly curled the corners of his mouth, "Director Luo, you're not saying it's me, are you?"

"Hahaha, Mr. Chen, there's no need to pretend to be confused while understanding, right?"

"Director Luo, I find it quite amusing. According to reason, we are both colleagues under the bureaucratic system of the Ninth Special Zone. Yet, you don't trust a single word from a colleague, but rather believe in a cultist subjected to harsh interrogation.

Director Luo, though we have some misunderstandings, I highly suspect you intentionally forced that cultist through severe methods to say my name and are planning something against me.

Director Luo, having bad intentions doesn't fare well in this world."

When Luo Qingtian heard this, he had arrived at the prison door, opened it, and said, "Mr. Chen, wouldn't we know once we go inside?"

Under the scrutiny of the council members, the intense atmosphere between Chen Che and Luo Qingtian remained as they headed deep into the dungeon.

Everyone in the council also saw Zhou Shaoyang bound on a cross.

As Chen Che entered the cell, Zhou Shaoyang's eyes gleamed with excitement when he saw Chen Che. Before Luo Qingtian spoke, Zhou Shaoyang shouted to Chen Che, "It's him, it's him. He's the Apocalypse Society's undercover planted within the entire council! Quickly arrest him!

Arrest him quickly, quickly arrest him, execute him!

Release me! Give me food, give me water!"

Zhou Shaoyang kept yelling, and Zhou Shaoyang's state made Luo Qingtian frown.

Something was off.

But Luo Qingtian forced himself to say, "Mr. Chen, how do you explain this? Everyone in the council is waiting for your explanation!"

Hearing this, Chen Che couldn't help but laugh aloud and said, "Director Luo, you're a bit funny, aren't you? Look at him, does he look sane? This is clearly someone subjected to harsh interrogation."

Chen Che walked up to Zhou Shaoyang, tapped his face, and said, "Of course, he'd recognize me. After all, I almost got him and his Apocalypse Society killed before. Would you believe what's coming out of a person's mouth like this? Pigs might as well fly.

Or, Director Luo, do you really believe pigs can fly?"

Luo Qingtian approached Zhou Shaoyang, pulling his hair, and said to him, "Repeat what you told me yesterday."

"Ah, spit!" But Zhou Shaoyang suddenly spat a mouthful of bloody spit on Luo Qingtian and cursed, "To hell with you! You promised me yesterday that if I helped you testify against him, you'd let me go, let me have food and water.

The hell with you! It's clear you can't trust a word from you criminals! Screw you!

He wants to join our Apocalypse Society? Nonsense! Criminals like you don't even deserve to hear the name of the Master of Revelation!"

"If you don't release me soon, my Master of Revelation will kill you all, kill you all! Hahaha!!! Hahaha!!!"

Zhou Shaoyang's words took everyone off guard, and Chen Che couldn't help but chuckle at Luo Qingtian and said, "Director Luo, these are your methods? Framing, interrogation under torture? It's a bit comical, isn't it? Director Luo, you've driven him mad, and you still wish to hear the truth from his mouth?

Hehe.

Director Luo, I will file a complaint with the entire council against your attempt to slander and defame me, and I will request that the entire council hold you directly accountable."

Luo Qingtian wiped his face, the anger on his face suddenly turning into a smile, saying, "Don't rush, Mr. Chen, I never intended to rely on a cultist's words. I never thought to use his words to prove Mr. Chen your identity."

"Oh? Then what do you plan to do?"

"I believe that only blood can test loyalty."
