I! Cleaner!

Facing Lyon's question, the Serpent Bearer Director's lips unconsciously opened and closed a couple of times, but quickly deflated again helplessly.

Not to mention how a "Traitor of the Purging Bureau" could report anything, the difference in status alone meant the Purging Bureau wouldn't believe him.

On one side was a traitor who "coveted" the Scarlet Dominator's power and indirectly caused the destruction of the East Kalevan Kingdom; on the other, a young Director who had repeatedly defeated the Slaughter King Society and led the Purging Bureau to conquer the Dead Realm. The Purging Bureau would have to be crazy to believe him.

'Although I don't think you're really stupid enough to run off and report, I'll give you a couple of reminders just in case.'

After glancing at the Serpent Bearer Director, who was turning purple in the face from holding it in, the red-haired Director, sitting cross-legged in another pod, propped her chin with her hand and slowly said:

'The Slaughter King Society people probably didn't tell you, but the Purging Bureau isn't what it used to be. Of the five Directors currently in the mortal realm, Sagittarius and Pisces are waiting to be resurrected in the Dead Realm, Capricorn hasn't returned from Mount Paradise, and Cancer is busy training a successor to hand over the Abyssal Prison. None of them have time to handle the Bureau's affairs.

The only one left who can take charge, Taurus, needs to recuperate from the damage to the Watchtower and the Dead Realm, and she's been saved by Lyon several times, so Lyon basically runs the Purging Bureau now. It's useless for you to report, and it's even possible that Lyon himself will handle the report.'

'……'

You mean… two of those five old guys are dead, one ran away, and of the remaining two, one can't manage anything, and the other is in cahoots with the Food God, so…

He's already eliminated all dissenters and is preparing to completely take control of the Purging Bureau?!!!

The Serpent Bearer Director felt dizzy from the explosive news revealed by the red-haired Director, and he hastily reached out to support the inner wall of the pod, even causing "Prince Vernon" to sway along with him.

Outside, Lyon narrowed his eyes when he saw him trembling but not speaking, and secretly adjusted the [Scarlet Heart], silently locking onto Prince Vernon in front of him.

However, before Lyon could act, a small bronze bell emerged from the Serpent Bearer Director's chest and rang with a 'dong.' The 'warning bell' snapped the Serpent Bearer Director, whose mentality was on the verge of collapse, back to his senses, and he sternly shouted with a tense body:

"What do you want!"

Tsk, he even has a warning-type anomalous object?

After glancing at the small bell with regret, and sensing the slight fluctuations of another heart lake within "Prince Vernon's" body, Lyon pondered for a moment, then silently put away the Scarlet Heart.

According to Director Taurus, the Serpent Bearer Director was already quite strong, and with the help of the Serpent Bearer Palace's transformation secret technique, he had completely merged with the Scarlet Dominator's [Scarlet Blood], making him a very difficult opponent.

Even if he had the Scarlet Heart to restrain him, he could only defeat him at most, and it was unlikely that he could capture or completely kill him. And as soon as the Scarlet Heart appeared, if he sensed danger, he would definitely run away and never show his face again.

So… he probably still has to start with his heart lake!

Feeling the huge heart lake on the verge of losing control, and the power that was constantly expanding after receiving feedback from his authority, the corners of Lyon's mouth couldn't help but twitch upwards, and he gave the Serpent Bearer Director an unusually kind smile.

"I didn't do anything… Anyway, there's no point in continuing this confrontation. How about… we talk?"

"……"

Talk my ass! What good is there in talking to a lunatic like you?

The Serpent Bearer Director felt a chill in his heart from Lyon's smile. Facing this super madman who was preparing to overthrow everything, even wanting to get rid of the Purging Bureau, he vaguely understood how the other Directors felt when they looked at him back then.

How dare he?

"If you don't object, then I'll start talking."

While the Serpent Bearer Director crossed time and space and empathized with those old fogeys who had always blocked him, Lyon, who had organized his thoughts, took the initiative to ask:

"What is the basis for your judgment that the mortal realm will inevitably head towards destruction if it falls into my hands?"

"Of course there is!"

Seeing that Lyon actually brought this up, even though he knew that continuing to talk would probably be detrimental to him, the Serpent Bearer Director couldn't help but retort angrily:

"Your set of things is complete nonsense! If there's a problem with the Thirteen Royal Families, just replace them with normal people without special bloodlines, right? If you directly dissolve all the kingdoms, how will the ordinary people of the mortal realm live?"

Lyon raised an eyebrow upon hearing this.

"So you mean, without the Royal Family riding on their heads, ordinary people can't even live?"

"That's not what I meant!"

The Serpent Bearer Director glared:

"You don't understand anything at all! Do you know how difficult it is to build an organization that can manage hundreds of millions of people and ensure everyone's basic stability? If you dissolve all thirteen kingdoms…"

"If I really dissolve all thirteen kingdoms, it will definitely be when they themselves have lost their meaning of existence."

Interrupting the Serpent Bearer Director, Lyon said unhurriedly:

"Veronica and I have discussed that after the Thrush has digested the Kingdom of Corvus's technology and craftsmen, and established trade routes with the Northern Border Kingdom, and the situation has completely stabilized, the next step is to popularize education as much as possible, and to start building basic communication facilities covering the entire kingdom."

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

"Who is that Veronica?"

"Here."

Raising his hand to show the Serpent Bearer Director the ring on his ring finger, letting him understand for himself, Lyon continued:

"Governing a country with a population of hundreds of millions is indeed an extremely difficult task, but the act of 'governing' itself is not complicated. The most core requirements are nothing more than two points: one is to have enough people to handle various affairs, and the other is the rapid and accurate exchange of information.

With the popularization of education, the number of people capable of handling various affairs will naturally gradually increase. After targeted examination and training, they can completely replace the original civil servant system of the major kingdoms, and complete the transition as smoothly as possible.

After the basic communication facilities are completely covered, the speed of information flow will be many times faster than it is now. The various nobles, fiefdoms, and other messy things that originally appeared due to slow information exchange, which could only delegate power, can all be eliminated. Finally, there is the king and…"

"These are just your assumptions!"

Hearing this, the Serpent Bearer Director couldn't help but retort:

"How can you guarantee that the people you choose won't become new nobles and 'Royal Families'? Just like you said before, after they control the power…"

"If I can't manage them when they're alive, then I'll settle the score together after they die."

"?"

After rummaging through the mirror world, Lyon found a propaganda booklet from the Underworld Branch, turned to the introduction page of the Eighteen Levels of Hell, and handed it over with a smile.

"Although it hasn't been completely built yet, it's already almost complete. The first to eighteenth levels will definitely be fully open before the end of the year. You're welcome to come down and visit then."
