“Master, the guards in the country have discovered something,” Zou Yi suddenly appeared and said.
Zou Bai had given the order not to disturb them during the recording unless something big happened.
“Speak.” Zou Bai did not intend to hide it from Jiang An. She could find out anything about the Zou family.
Zou Yi said, “The secret guards discovered people from the Church of Eternal Night in Country A. They suddenly appeared in the country and seemed to be looking for something.”
Upon hearing this name, Zou Bai’s gaze instantly became sharp. Jiang An rarely saw him like this.
“What is this Church of Eternal Night?” Jiang An asked nervously.
Zou Bai realized that he had overreacted and quickly calmed himself down. “The Church of Eternal Night is an organization that believes in the apocalypse. They believe that the world will be completely destroyed in a dozen years. At that time, there will be no more sun in the sky, and the entire world will fall into eternal darkness.”
This was the first time Jiang An had heard of this church. He asked, “Does that have anything to do with us?”
“Back then, it was this church that almost destroyed the Zou family’s influence overseas.” Zou Bai’s expression turned serious. “I spent a lot of effort to stabilize the situation.”
Jiang An was even more confused after hearing this. Why would a church that believed in the apocalypse attack the Zou family? This made no sense at all.
Zou Bai saw Jiang An’s confusion and explained, “This church is dedicated to developing its believers and making more people believe that the apocalypse is coming. Therefore, it has its own branches in various countries and more or less influences this country.”
“However, China is one of the only few countries that completely prevented this church from infiltrating. They label the Church of Eternal Night as a cult. It’s illegal for any Chinese person to join this organization.”
However, the population in China was large. The Church of Eternal Night had always felt that China was very suitable for the development of the Church, so they tried their best to squeeze in.
The Zou family’s influence overseas was a breakthrough point. On one hand, the controllers of the Zou family’s influence overseas were all Chinese. They could return to China at any time. On the other hand, they stayed overseas. It was not illegal for them to join the church.
If they could make these people believe in Eternal Night’s existence and turn them into devout believers, then make these people request to return to the Zou Family, then they could quietly bring the Church into China.
Moreover, these people from the Zou Family had outstanding abilities. The benefits of becoming a disciple were greater than ordinary people becoming disciples.
The Church of Eternal Night had worked hard for this goal for a long time, and it had indeed moved the Zou Family’s subordinates. Fortunately, they had been discovered in time and resolved this matter.
After listening to Zou Bai’s explanation, Jiang An realized that something was wrong. “That’s not all, is it? If you only failed to make them succeed, you wouldn’t have that expression just now. There must be a grudge between you and the Church of Eternal Night.”
Zou Bai smiled. “As expected, An’an understands me the best. When I first became the family head, I went overseas. You should know what I did, right?”
Of course, Jiang An knew, as more than one person had mentioned that period of time to her. Zou Bai had been through a bloodbath to take back the Zou family’s overseas power. His methods were so brutal that it was terrifying to say.
At the thought of this, Jiang An understood something. He looked at Zou Bai in surprise. “You must have caused the Church of Eternal Night to suffer a heavy blow.”
Zou Bai nodded. “That’s right. I was so bloodthirsty that I killed one-third of the church’s believers, including many high-level believers. They were all famous people in their own fields and could bring great benefits to the church, but I dealt with them all.”
Jiang An finally understood. The people of this church definitely hated Zou Bai to the core. They had worked so hard for so many years to develop their believers, but he had destroyed one-third of them. They definitely wanted Zou Bai to die.
“Then you have to be careful.” Jiang An immediately became worried.
Zou Bai comforted her, “They might not be after me. I’m not afraid of their revenge.”
Of course, Jiang An knew how powerful Zou Bai was, but people tended to get confused when they were concerned. She was always worried.
If anything happened, she would not be able to bear it.
Zou Bai could only hold her hand tightly to let her know that he was right beside her.
“Zou Yi, get the secret guards to investigate why these people came. Don’t let go of any details. I don’t want to hear any bad news,” Zou Bai ordered.
Zou Yi lowered his head and agreed. Then, he turned around and left to convey his master’s words..
