The male supporting character was actually myself.

Threatening exposure and stirring up trouble, what's the end result?

They were simply suppressed.

Haha, information posted online is naturally blocked and deleted by designated personnel in a timely manner;

As for newspapers, who would dare to report news that promotes feudal superstition?

Those pigs, do they really think the Demon-Catching Alliance's relationship with the higher-ups has been wasted all these years?

Strictly speaking, the existence of demon hunters is to protect human safety; we are the great heroes who cannot stand in the open! A few small fry trying to cause trouble, they really don't know how they're going to die.

Wu Hongtu quickly resolved the layoff issue and was waiting for his trusted confidant to bring back the core to make pills. At this moment, he was very dissatisfied with the incompetent behavior of the security department, which couldn't even suppress a few people causing trouble. Therefore, he picked up the phone in a fit of anger and asked irritably, "What is it now?"

Can you guys act like a security department should?

Anyone who dares to cause trouble again, I'll break their legs and throw them out!

"No, no, Chieftain." The Minister of Security's hand holding the phone trembled violently as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his other hand and stammered, "The warehouse... the warehouse has been robbed!"

At 1:50, the warehouse manager came to hand over the shift and found that there was no one at his post.

The guard and he searched around twice but couldn't find it, and then they opened the warehouse door and...that's when they found it..."

The head of security stared blankly at the open door, his voice trembling with guilt as he whispered, "The warehouse... has been emptied!"

"What?!" Wu Hongtu couldn't believe his ears.

He jumped up from his seat, feeling inexplicably flustered. "Notify all the elders to be present. I'm coming right away!"

Without even grabbing his coat, Wu Hongtu jogged into his private elevator after hanging up the phone.

"The warehouse was emptied? Absolutely impossible! Could it be... Oh no, did a fairy sneak in and use some kind of illusion? No, no, fairies can't get in at all, there's anti-fairy coating everywhere." His mind was blank, feeling like he was dreaming.

Even if you were to move things out of such a large warehouse openly and legally, it would still take several days of trouble.

How could it have gone empty so quietly?

"You, you guys give me an explanation! What the hell is going on?!" When he saw with his own eyes that even the iron frames of the huge warehouse had disappeared, Wu Hongtu almost fainted.

When he realized what was happening, he pointed at the minister and elders in charge of security and launched into a tirade of profanities.

"My God!" The elder, wearing a large gold ring and holding a gold-inlaid cane, almost collapsed to the ground upon seeing this. Then, he reacted and shakily reached into his robes for the keys. "Quick! Go check the vault!"

A layer of cold sweat seeped out from Wu Hongtu's back.

When he arrived, he was initially relieved that if the warehouse theft was a joint effort by those who had been dismissed, he could conveniently pin the embezzled funds on them.

did not expect……

That's fucking terrifying!

"What exactly happened? Was it embezzlement? Quickly send someone to bring back the warehouse manager who was on duty last time!" Wu Hongtu gave the order as he rushed to the safest vault.

The elder said tremblingly, "I already did it, waiting for your orders. By then, the person would have vanished without a trace. I think this is too suspicious; it's very likely the work of a demon!"

"Impossible. Almost everything we have is coated with a demon-resistant coating made from demon cores. Demons can't even get close to the Alliance building, how could they possibly get in and steal things?"

“I’ve seen the shift handover records. The two warehouse managers checked the warehouse together before handing over their shifts. Even if they teamed up, it would be impossible for them to empty the entire warehouse so quickly. After all, the elders are randomly selected to conduct inventory checks every week. If I remember correctly, the last inventory check was conducted by the First Elder and the Third Elder, just three days ago.”

"That's right, the inventory I personally checked is absolutely fine!"

"There's no way someone could have embezzled and emptied the entire warehouse in three days. Besides, who would steal something down to the shelves? Unless that guy isn't afraid of being caught at all!"

"The surveillance video is fine, and the cars entering and leaving the garage have been checked and there is nothing suspicious."

"Could it really be a demon... that has mutated? Is it immune to the demon-resistant coating we developed?!"

"Hiss... If there were such a fairy, that would be terrifying!"

…………

The elders and clan leader took the only private elevator to the most secure and confidential sixth basement level. Inside the elevator, the atmosphere gradually became tense as everyone talked.

Wu Hongtu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling flustered.

Perhaps it wasn't a bad thing. He thought that as long as the vault of the Alliance Building was safe and the interests of the many elders were not harmed, he could just cover up the deficit by misappropriating the money. He could also take the opportunity to use the super-powerful fairy to threaten the higher-ups and dismiss the irrelevant people who were just sitting around doing nothing.

If the Demon-Catching Alliance is forced to transform, I can quickly rise to power by relying on my family's medicinal formulas and elixir secrets, which might actually be a great thing!

After all, if it was really done by a fairy who could ignore the anti-demon coating, and considering that the fairy only looted resources without harming any demon hunters, the fairy's combat power should not be strong and there should not be much of a threat.

It wouldn't be bad if my descendants didn't become demon hunters who shout and kill, but instead became a family of alchemists...

"Elder, please go first." Wu Hongtu quickly planned how to handle the situation afterward, and respectfully invited him to come forward after stepping out of the elevator.

The elder, leaning on a gold-inlaid sandalwood cane, glared at him. "What time is it and you're still rambling on!"

Insert the key into the only exposed hole in the entire wall, turn it a few times to the left and a few times to the right, and after several back and forth movements, the wall makes a soft sound, and a steel plate more than ten centimeters thick is removed, revealing a second hole.

After several attempts, a door half a meter thick slowly opened, revealing the protective wall inside.

Iris scanning, palm print input, passwords, and complex locks unlock various anti-theft measures, ultimately revealing a vast space that is a hundred times more secure than a bank vault.

"Gudong!"

The eldest elder, who was at the forefront, only glanced at it, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.

No one paid him any attention; everyone stared at the empty vault, not a single hair left, their faces ashen.

"It's over! It's completely over!"

"The foundation built by the alliance over thousands of years! How could it be lost like this?"

"Investigate! Fourth brother, hurry up and find out what happened!"

"With even their last remaining strength gone, what is the league supposed to do?"

…………

A group of elders, who were not young, were shouting and making a fuss, but in their hearts, they were all calculating their own little schemes.

Even with such tight security, it was still stolen; it must have been done by fairies!

The alliance is now just an empty shell, but there's still a lot of money on the books, so we need to hurry up and divide it up to get the most profit. Fortunately, we've put in a lot of effort over the years and accumulated quite a few valuable assets, so the family can still be wealthy even after a future transformation.

Chapter Thirty-Eight: Letting it Go Unchecked?

"Stay calm and don't panic." Wu Hongtu had completely calmed down from the shock and disbelief. As the heir of a powerful clan, remaining composed in the face of danger was an essential skill.

A group of people sat in the empty vault, their hearts bleeding with heartache, yet they could only helplessly accept reality.

Although a large sum of money was lost, his own losses were naturally not investigated by anyone, so there should be no problem in proposing that the Demon-Catching Alliance disband and each of them transform their businesses.

"The Alliance's headquarters was the only one that was hacked. Don't forget we have so many branch offices. Call them first and tell them to protect all their inventory. We'll send our elite forces to retrieve it immediately and put it in a safe place."

We definitely won't be able to support this many people anymore. We need to explain the situation to our superiors and prepare to disband the alliance; at least that way we can keep the money in our accounts.

Wu Hongtu thought for a moment and continued, "We can discuss how to allocate the research institute, military factories, and industries in various regions among our various families; as for the others, I suggest we act decisively and quickly."

The Demon-Catching Alliance has received orders beyond its capacity in the past two years, but since they are all from people with connections and there is no sufficient reason to turn them down, they can now explain the situation and postpone the pills project to see if the specific circumstances can be remedied.

There are too few fairies. We've been losing money in recent years and have no excuse to lay off staff. This crisis is a good opportunity to streamline the team..."

"Ha, you think it's so easy!" The elder, having caught his breath, wiped his cloudy eyes and muttered, "The Demon-Catching Alliance was robbed? Who would believe that?"

Can you provide sufficient evidence to prove that it wasn't an inside job?

Apart from Mo Laosan and Yan Laoqi, everyone else from our various families witnessed it firsthand, but those people…

He pointed upwards and sneered, "They won't believe it! They'll think we're just using this as an excuse to dissolve the alliance in order to cut our losses and distribute the benefits!"

As things stand now, the Monster Catching Alliance is no longer our alliance.

Think about how to deal with those overt and covert investigations!

"No matter how they investigate, a theft is a theft, and we didn't want such an outrageous and unfortunate thing to happen!"

"Whoever wants to investigate, just provide them with the surveillance video. If they can find out where the loopholes are, we should thank them!"

"Damn it, what the hell is causing this?"

"Check the surveillance footage. I refuse to believe there won't be a single clue..."

…………

After a brief commotion, the group hurriedly left the sixth basement level and returned to their offices. They quickly opened their safes to check, only to discover that all the collectibles and weapons of any value were missing!

The elder was trembling with rage. His pure gold collectible, which he had just polished that morning and which sat on his desk, had somehow been stolen. What the hell had gotten in here? They certainly knew their stuff and only stole the valuables!

After working for more than ten minutes, Wu Hongtu slumped into his chair with the microphone in his hand.

News came from branch offices across the country that their warehouses were also empty!

Not only that, but the elite teams sent out this morning on a demon-hunting mission have all lost contact. Each branch tried to send people to search, but found that not a single Alliance car parked in the garage remained. Wu Hongtu suddenly remembered Elder Mo and his group… could it be…

………………

"Mingyue?" Yan Lang, who had just stopped at the service area, opened the message and looked at it carefully. He confirmed that the message from the unknown number was the contact password he and his daughter had agreed on. Only then did he feel a little relieved and hurriedly replied to inquire about the situation.

After receiving the reply, Yan Mingyue glanced at it secretly and found that Jiang Chen was seriously teaching the little fairies to cultivate magic. She quickly replied with two messages, telling her father what she knew and instructing him not to come over under any circumstances, but to go home and wait for news.

Only Elder Mo and his group, wearing only big shorts, were imprisoned in the jail. They first made verbal threats, then cried and begged for mercy, and finally collapsed on the cold stone ground, dejected and silent, hungry and exhausted.

Fox Shadow was still diligently copying the carvings on the stone wall deep in the abyss;

In a mysterious space, several of Jiang Chen's clones manipulated the elements, using demonic power as their brush and the world as their canvas, to create a small world suitable for all kinds of demons to live in, according to their own plans and designs.

Deep within the Dragon Pool lies the magma world, and in the deep sea dwells countless sleeping dragons. They slowly open their enormous, blazing eyes and listen attentively to the resounding tale told by the respectful old dragon.

In the fields where the spring breeze blows, translucent flying seeds, visible only to fairies, float in the wind, and various little sprites leap and search everywhere, following the scent.

"You must not approach the demons on your own initiative?" Ye Xuan leaned his crippled body against the towering building, sneered inwardly, "Is the Nine-Tailed Fox trying to force me to find the demon hunter for a final battle?"

Heh, that's great!

"If you've used me as a pawn, you must be prepared to be turned on again. Once I've devoured those demon hunters and become powerful once more, all the demons who have looked down on me will face my wrathful revenge!"

Upon thinking of this, Ye Xuan had a flash of inspiration and suddenly felt that he should be proactive and contribute to building a harmonious society.

Prosperity, democracy, civility, harmony, freedom, equality, justice, rule of law, patriotism, dedication, integrity, friendliness... full of vitality, stability, and order. Strive to be a socialist successor full of positive energy!

"Holy crap!" Ye Xuan was startled by the strange thought that suddenly appeared and then vanished. "Am I going to have a mental breakdown from being tortured by the Nine-Tailed Fox? Why did I have such a bizarre thought just now?!"

Meanwhile, the little white cat stared at the script that had just finished updating and had just shown a new plot point before disappearing again and reverting to "updating" and fell into deep thought. Had the script team chickened out?

Fearing that it would disgust the main censorship system, the newly fabricated storyline was simply withdrawn. It dared not release it until it was completely sure of its authenticity.
