The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

Compared to Arthur, Lister's nonsense was a bit less pronounced—after all, Annand was a demigod of the Sun Family, while Marquis Norman was merely a saint. After An Su cruelly burst his bubble by telling him "there is no planet with only lolis," he slowly regained his senses, coming out of the illusion.

"Imperial Capital is facing an imminent crisis of destruction..." Lister pushed up his glasses, revealing a complex and heavy expression, "When that happens, everyone will be doomed."

"That might be the case." An Su nodded in relief, finally lending an air of normalcy, "The worst-case scenario."

Upon hearing the dire consequences, Arthur and Lister fell silent. Then, suddenly, they jumped three feet in the air,

"Awesome! Then our debt of 200,000 is gone too! That's the best outcome!"

You motherf... An Su's mouth twitched slightly. He shouldn't have expected any moral standards from these two scumbags. Without a doubt, they lacked any moral sense.

"In any case, boss An Su."

Though he said this, Arthur still had the decency to say, "What you need me to do is to warn my dad and get the Sun Legion on the borders ready in advance, right... No problem, even if it turns out to be false, the worst I'll get is another beating."

"I've already grown patient with beatings."

"Secondly, continue to infiltrate the Esoteric Sect under the guise of a Quasi-Saint of the Cult and gather more information?" Lister added.

The idea that a star could fall from the sky and destroy the Imperial Capital was so absurd it was laughable—not even the lowest tavern would believe such nonsense. But Arthur and Lister had not the slightest doubt about An Su's words. They accepted them fully even though they inwardly hoped the bills would blow up. Yet, their actions were completely opposite.

These two young men might come off as useless, but in critical moments, they could be relied upon.

If it were under normal circumstances, An Su would have chosen to call the police. But this situation was extraordinarily special, involving a grave matter that required complete secrecy. The Church was definitely filled with Esoteric Sect spies.

An Su had no choice but to rely on people he trusted more.

"That's the gist of it." An Su nodded, "In fact, on my way here, I've already called all the Chaotic Cultists to the meeting. Perhaps, each of them holds some clues."

"A meeting here?"

"At my doorstep?"

Arthur almost fell off his chair in shock. He looked back at the grand embassy mansion of the Sun Family, shaking his head like a rattle-drum, "If my dad finds out...that I've been mixing up with those evil scumbags, he'll definitely break my legs!"

An Su and Lister stared expressionlessly at Arthur. Who among those present wasn't a scumbag?

"And besides, this matter is of great importance; the walls might have ears." Arthur continued shaking his head, "There's too much human traffic here, too many eyes."

An Su nodded; that concern was indeed valid.

He didn't want to gather the Esoteric Sect Followers here either, but the Royal Family's conferral ceremony was about to start, and An Su was pressed for time, unable to look for another place.

"We just need to find a quiet and secluded room. Then, just issue an 'Order Decree' like 'No Entry for Uninvited' outside the room, and that will solve it. No passerby would dare to enter," Lister said with a calm smile.

"You can cast Order Decrees?"

An Su stared at Lister, astonished.

The so-called Order Decree was a unique combat method of Order Saints, which involved writing and issuing laws in accordance with Order that took effect as rules within a certain space to restrict the actions of others. It could be used against enemies whose rank was not higher than the caster.

'Dispelling Orders' were some of the most common decrees.

Every time the Order Knights cordoned off a murder scene, they would put up a series of Dispelling Orders around the area.

"No exaggeration here," Lister said with a confident smile, "I've been studying countless learning materials these days, and I have a thorough understanding of the laws. I've reached an almost divine mastery and have already grasped the Dispelling Order!"

"Under this Decree, no matter how much noise we make, passersby will pretend not to see," he explained.

Frankly, in their original world lines, Arthur and Lister were also geniuses among geniuses, even normal human males.

——Unfortunately, they met An Su.

In the original work, although they failed the saint examination, it was just part of the characters' routine showboating and face-slapping. Learning Order Decrees in a matter of ten days was not too far-fetched for them after their awakening.

"Since that's settled," An Su looked at Lister with satisfaction, "I'll leave it to you. Let's find a hidden alleyway, and keep it all low-key."

The embassy mansion of the Sun Family was located in the bustling Queen District of All Nai Luo, with glittering towers rising high and casting long, narrow shadows over the busy streets. Expensive Alchemical Carriages spewed out fog and steam, clattering over iron tracks. Nobles and merchants' relatives walked in pairs and groups through the district.

Finding a hidden room in such a vibrant area was not easy, and it took them considerable effort.

This small alley nestled between two towers was named 'Bai Street,' originally part of a government demolition project that was put on hold because the compensation wasn't agreed upon. The courtyard also grew an old, withering cypress tree, its dead yellow leaves layered one upon another. Despite this, the alley would still see a sparse flow of people passing through—children playing and even many stubborn residents living there.
