Mo Fan frowned. Why was everyone who arrived someone he already knew?

Was the world really so small that the people he met were either spies of the Black Vatican or a spy from the Enforcement Union?

“Aren’t you Japanese?” Mo Fan asked the man with the propeller-shaped Wind Wings.

The man landed on the ground and glanced at Winnie, whom the Flame Belle Empress was currently stepping on.

It was important to prove their identities first. The man handed Mo Fan a name card similar to the one Winnie had shown him. However, the man also displayed his right hand to show Mo Fan the Seal on his wrist.

The Seal represented the Oath the man had sworn in front of the Tree of Vows to never betray the Enforcement Union.

Mo Fan believed in the Tree of Vows. However, he did not expect the man to be Miyamoto Shin!

“A Field Enforcer of the Enforcement Union often has multiple identities. My father is also a Field Enforcer, who is mainly active in Japan. I mainly used my Japanese identity so I can travel freely between different countries. I must say it has helped me a lot, as people never connect me to the Chinese Enforcement Union,” Miyamoto Shin explained.

“That’s true, I would never think you were working with Tang Zhong if you hadn’t shown up here, but aren’t you a member of the Student Union’s main party too?” Mo Fan had to ask.

“I joined the Enforcement Union when I was sixteen. I was planning to go back to my homeland after graduating from the Aorus Sacred Institute, but my superiors happened to dig up some information about Salan’s faction in South America, so I chose to stay as an assistant…” Miyamoto Shin smiled wryly.

Miyamoto Shin was only taking his further studies at the Aorus Sacred Institute. He had planned to go back to his homeland after he was done.

Salan happened to be active in South America while he was doing his studies, so he had no choice but to stay behind. The only way he could stay in the school after he graduated was by being an assistant!

“So it wasn’t a coincidence that you were the assistant of the three guest lecturers from China. Did your superior arrange it?” Mo Fan asked.

“That’s right. I didn’t dare tell you the truth, as I know you three are also on a secret mission,” Miyamoto Shin confirmed.

Mo Fan nodded.

Miyamoto Shin had enrolled in the Aorus Sacred Institute as a Japanese, so it was not suspicious when he was assigned to Mo Fan and his friends. His identity as a Japanese had done a great job at covering up his identity as a Field Enforcer.

The Field Enforcers of the Enforcement Union were similar to high-ranking members of the Black Vatican. It would be extremely dangerous once their identities were exposed. They were only valuable while they remained undercover.

“Do you know her?” Mo Fan pointed at Winnie.

“I know she’s a student at the school, but I didn’t know she was a Field Enforcer, let alone a traitor!” Miyamoto Shin harrumphed coldly.

No wonder the people of the Black Vatican were acting so recklessly at the school. The Field Enforcers were struggling to make a breakthrough because there was a traitor among them!

“Look at this list of names and see if you know any of them.” Mo Fan gave the list to Miyamoto Shin.

He still had a copy of the name list on his phone. It did not matter if the Black Vatican tried using the same trick on him twice.

Miyamoto Shin flipped through the pages and skimmed through the huge list.

Meanwhile, there were sounds approaching, hurried footsteps coming from the distance. A group of people soon gathered in front of the church.

“They are our brothers from the Enforcement Union,” Miyamoto Shin told Mo Fan.

“Are they reliable?” Mo Fan asked.

“They all have the latest Seal from the Tree of Vows,” Miyamoto Shin confirmed.

“You will be assigning tasks to them.” Mo Fan was not good at commanding people. He was also unsure of the capabilities of the Field Enforcers in the group.

People in different outfits gradually stepped forward. They had all received orders from their superiors.

“So it’s you, Blue Sparrow. I didn’t expect you to take down a branch of the Black Vatican. It’s making us feel like we are quite useless compared to you,” a middle-aged man with a cigarette between his lips spoke up.

The overweight man was wearing a singlet, like he had just come from a blacksmith job.

“Not really, Mister Mo has done all the work. He even found the traitor among us!” Miyamoto Shin pointed at Winnie, who was now covered in mud on the ground.

“Golden Canary?” the middle-aged man blurted out in surprise after he recognized Winnie.

Mo Fan was speechless. Why were all their nicknames related to birds?

“Sir, Golden Canary has always been loyal to the Enforcement Union. I don’t understand. What did she do?” the man asked with a frown.

“She was working for the Black Vatican,” Mo Fan replied.

“So what exactly did she do?” the man pressed.

“Did your superior send you here to interrogate me?” Mo Fan snarled. Was the middle-aged man accusing him of blaming Winnie wrongly, judging by his tone?

“No, I won’t dare to. I just want to understand things better so it’s easier for us to interrogate her,” the man answered hurriedly.

“Miyamoto Shin, I don’t want him here. The others may stay,” Mo Fan told Miyamoto Shin.

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened. “What do you mean? I’m a Field Enforcer. I’m fully responsible for this operation after receiving an order from my superior!” He was displeased by Mo Fan’s attitude.

“Iron Bee, go back and wait for further notice,” Miyamoto Shin said. He knew what Mo Fan was up to.

Since Tang Zhong had granted Mo Fan the power to command the Field Enforcers under the Great Councilman’s approval, Mo Fan did not have to explain anything to the Field Enforcers.

In simpler words, Mo Fan had the greatest authority of all those present. Every Field Enforcer had to obey his orders!

Why was it necessary? Because the Black Vatican was hiding among the public. Most of their members looked innocent until they were proven guilty. If the Field Enforcers were doubting Mo Fan’s orders, they might end up giving the important members of the Black Vatican a chance to escape.

The middle-aged man was demanding an explanation from Mo Fan because he did not think Winnie was a traitor.

As for the truth?

It did not matter how close the middle-aged man and Winnie were. If Mo Fan already had the green light to proceed with the plan of exterminating the remnants of the Black Vatican, he would not allow anyone to doubt his decisions.

Miyamoto Shin did not ask a single question, nor did the rest of the Field Enforcers. The middle-aged man was the only exception.

Mo Fan’s phone rang as the middle-aged man was overwhelmed by anger and shame.

Mo Fan took the call, not wanting to waste his time on the arrogant man.

“Mo Fan?” It was Councilman Zhu Meng.

“Mm,” Mo Fan responded.

“Are you suspecting me?” Zhu Meng asked with a deep voice.

It seemed like Zhu Meng had received information that Winnie, whom he had sworn to be reliable, had turned out to be the traitor.
