Compared to the idyllic life in that imagined divine kingdom, they prefer freedom and independence in reality.

Therefore, the attempts by security companies like Kettering to convert to Christianity were not very successful.

Of course, the influence of Ilo's father, Novus, also played a role. According to the information in Kate's villa, Novus helped many security companies when they were first established, and he was fair and honest, so he had a high reputation in the security association.

Novis keenly perceived the Eternal Cult's greed and brutality, as well as its 'plunder' of the already impoverished people of the Storm Zone through the so-called Eternal Light Faith, and therefore strongly opposed the Security Federation's cooperation with the Eternal Cult.

Through this information, He Ao actually gained a 'new' understanding of the Security Federation.

The mainstay industry of Winter is mining. The Storm Sea near Winter has very rich helium-3, and the seawater also has a higher content of deuterium, making it easier to accumulate.

Helium-3 and deuterium are the main fuels for the Federation's current nuclear power plants. Although mining them is very risky, the potential profits are also very high.

Before the establishment of the United Industries, Winter City had a large number of

These are mining companies, and to cope with the dangers of stormy seas, these mining vessels require a systematic security force.

As a result, a large number of security companies composed of civilians sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

These security companies are usually formed by armed individuals from several nearby blocks who pool their money or take out loans to buy weapons, and then use the profits to buy even more weapons.

Because of their geographical location, the members of the same security company are mostly from one or two fixed neighborhoods, and this security company naturally has a need to maintain local order.

Therefore, security companies replaced the gangs that should have appeared in chaotic areas, becoming special organizations that existed between the black and white worlds. They both operated various gang businesses like gangs and were employed by mining companies to provide security services for them.

In a sense, these security companies can also be understood as gangs that provide large-scale commercial security services.

Of course, not all security companies operate on this model; there are also purely legitimate security companies, such as the one run by Ilo's father.

Winter also has gangs that don't provide security services, but most of these gangs are not very influential.

Therefore, the Security Federation, which unites these security companies, is roughly equivalent to the ruling power of the entire Winter City underworld, especially in the most chaotic Storm Zone of Winter City, where its influence is enormous.

By controlling this security alliance, the Eternal Secret Cult essentially gained the ability to move from the shadows to the light, allowing it to further 'prosely' more boldly.

Clearly, the entire Eternal Tantric sect is now undergoing a 'transformation'; they are no longer content to exist as a secret sect and have begun to pursue broader missionary work.

In fact, over the years, the Eternal Cult has also gained control of many small security companies, but large security companies are not willing to give up their acquired rights so easily.

Previously, the Eternal Secret Cult had been somewhat restrained in its actions, but this time it finally tore off all pretense and attacked Ilo's father, the "opposition leader," to make an example of him and try to intimidate and control the Security Federation in the most bloody and brutal way.

Judging from the results, their plan was clearly successful.

This overwhelming display of force stunned all the leaders of the Security Federation, who were even willing to attend Kate's dinner party.

Those invited this time were all people who had previously been somewhat disrespectful to the Eternal Esoteric Sect.

If things continue this way, Kate does indeed have a good chance of gaining complete control of the Security Federation.

Eternal Tantric Buddhism can also successfully transform.

Well, if things continue to develop...

He leaned back in the driver's seat and looked up at the snow-covered road ahead.

The SUV's wheels slowly rolled over the snow-white ice crystals in front of it.

He Ao originally thought he would see the leaders of the Security Federation at the banquet, but they seemed to have made some private agreement and did not arrive in advance.

However, He Ao still left a 'small arrangement' in the villa.

Outside Kate's villa

The door of the lead SUV opened, and a burly man stepped out. He looked up at the large iron gate and asked, "Is this Kate's place?"

One by one, men in security uniforms got out of the car and stood behind him.

The burly man glanced at it

The guards on either side grinned, "How come there isn't even a single security guard? Is this guy doing that badly?"

"That Kate is a wicked woman, be careful."

The door of the second SUV opened, and a tall, refined-looking man with gold-rimmed glasses stepped out and said in a low voice.

A group of men dressed similarly to him also got off the train.

At this moment, the door of the third SUV opened, and a voluptuous woman with wavy brown hair, wearing a red asymmetrical long skirt, black high heels, and one snow-white thigh exposed, while the other thigh was covered by a red skirt, stepped out from the back seat.

She glanced at the two people in front of her, said nothing, but took a light breath and took out a gold box with a rose pattern.

Then she used her slender fingers, painted with red nail polish, to pull out a thin cigarette with a gold filter, put it in her mouth, and lit it with an electronic lighter.

"Look at you, so timid and cowering,"

The fourth SUV opened its door, and a thin, short man with a glint of gold in his eyes jumped out. He glanced at the voluptuous woman in the red dress, then at the man with glasses, and laughed, "What's the problem? Why don't you go inside and see for yourself?"

Although he said this, he didn't move an inch.

More and more SUVs followed behind, and more and more people got out of the vehicles.

"6:55,"

The bespectacled man glanced at his watch. "Everyone's pretty punctual. This time, we must stick together and stand together, otherwise Kate will definitely tear us apart."

More and more people arrived, and even after everyone got off the vehicles, the massive iron gate remained closed.

A profound silence spread through the air along with the falling snow.

"It smells bloody,"

The fourth, gaunt man who got off the bus rubbed his nose, then turned to look at the man with glasses. "Jato, do you want to open the door and go in to take a look?"

The bespectacled man called Jato's face darkened, but before he could speak, the burly man who was the first to get out of the car walked to the gate and slammed his fist on it with a loud 'bang!' "Kate, are all your subordinates on holiday today?"

The electronic lock on the gate was not properly locked. With a loud bang, the entire gate was flung open, revealing the empty garden inside.

With the gate no longer blocking the way, the thick stench of blood almost assaulted our senses.

The four people at the front exchanged glances.

"Everyone, be alert!"

The burly man pulled a heavy pistol from his waist, crouched down, and slowly approached the gate.

The bespectacled man, Jato, and the gaunt man drew their guns almost simultaneously and walked ahead, hunched over.

The woman in the red dress put away her cigarette, lifted the hem of her skirt covering her right thigh, and pulled a delicate red pistol from the holster on her thigh. She then slowly followed after them.

The people behind them also took out their weapons and followed them inside.

An eerie silence permeated the entire space, with only the increasingly strong stench of blood reminding them that they were gradually venturing deeper into the villa.

Everyone's nerves were on edge.

Long footprints slowly stretched out in the snow, and soon, the burly man at the front arrived at the entrance of the lobby on the first floor.

The doors to the hall were wide open, and blood-soaked corpses lay scattered haphazardly in the center of the hall.

The terrifying stench of blood almost solidified in the air, irritating everyone's nasal passages.

The burly man and the men behind him exchanged glances, then he looked at a fully armed subordinate behind him and gave him a wink.

The subordinate nodded, bent over, took his submachine gun, and quickly approached, carefully sneaking into the hall.

He crouched down, examined several corpses, and then looked up at the burly man. "Boss, they're all dead."

"Ok?"

The burly man was taken aback, then stood up and led the people behind him quickly through the hall.

"Cold weapons, one strike is enough to kill."

Jato squatted on the ground, examining the bodies clutching guns in the hall. He glanced up at the damp bloodstains in the hall. "They must have encountered the enemy in this hall, and then were killed before they could launch any effective attacks."

He examined several more bodies. "The person who did it was very fast. These people must have been killed almost simultaneously. It's hard to imagine what kind of terrifying enemy they encountered."

"Send a few people upstairs to take a look."

The burly man waved.

Immediately, several people went inside via the stairs on one side of the hall.

"These wounds are all very fresh; the enemy probably hasn't left yet. You all need to be careful."

The burly man looked around at the people around him. "Looks like they're after Kate. Tsk tsk tsk, this Eternal Light isn't as amazing as they make it out to be."

Soon, the people who went upstairs to check ran down and looked at the burly man, "Boss, there are no survivors."

"I'm a little curious about who did it,"

The burly man grinned. "But he did us a huge favor by helping us get rid of Kate. Now we have more room to negotiate with the Eternal Cult."

The woman in the red dress leaned against the corner, glanced at the corpse on the ground, put away her gun, and lit a cigarette, putting it in her mouth.

At that moment, Jato, who wore glasses, stood up. He turned around and looked at the open door behind him. He saw bloodstains on the edge of the door, walked over, and reached out to pull the door open.

There are words behind this door!

One of his underlings, who was following behind him, exclaimed in surprise.

"Close that door too."

Jato immediately gave the order.

One of the henchmen immediately went over and closed the other door. The two doors closed slightly, revealing a row of characters written in blood.

"A blood debt must be a blood debtor,"

The burly man read the sentence aloud, then looked down and saw the signature at the end: "Novis Security Company".

"Novis?"

The gaunt man who had been standing beside him was taken aback. "Wasn't he dead?"

"A blood debt must be paid in blood..."

Standing behind the door, Jato muttered the same words, then his expression instantly changed. "Damn it, we have to get out of here right now!!!"

However, just as he opened the door, preparing to rush out with the people behind him, the roar of brakes stopped outside the door, and immediately dozens of men dressed in black rushed into the courtyard.

Several grenades were thrown from the hands of the men in black in front, landing in front of the door.

"close the door!!!"

With a mighty shout, Jato slammed the door shut, then jumped back out.
