I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

The sapphire plunged into the water.

Instantly, dark clouds enveloped the basin in front of Maen, and a gale roared across the sea, whipping up turbulent waves. The old woman's face then surfaced before him.

"There's a problem," Maen said immediately. "All five members who accepted the bounty have gone missing. They just launched an attack on Fargo of the Hunter Squad, but there's been no news since."

Shana's face on the sea turned to the side, saying something to someone nearby, then looked back at Maen:

"Our people have just sent a report as well, saying they saw the Investigation Department's armored vehicles rushing back to the city, without even trying to conceal their movements. If that's the case, our plan should have succeeded.

"As for why they haven't been heard from, I think the members of the Salvation Alliance must have already retreated. Their goal was to stop the hunting ritual, and they wouldn't be interested in the reward after the mission was over, and we didn't prepare that much anyway, but…

"The bounty hunters haven't been heard from either?"

Maen nodded:

"I've already retreated. They couldn't all be members of the Salvation Alliance, could they?"

He had checked everything Shana gave him before lying. There was nothing wrong with the sapphire and necklace. Shana couldn't possibly know what was going on, and even if they asked the Investigation Department, they wouldn't be able to find out the truth.

Shana looked to the side for a few seconds before shifting her gaze back to Maen:

"Hu Li and Black Knife are already dead. Those three Salvation Alliance members might have a Rank IV adept. Their achievements in the hunting ritual should far exceed our expectations. Don't worry, this was also within our expectations.

"We extended an invitation to the Salvation Alliance, but we weren't sure how strong the accepters would be. It seems our luck is pretty good.

"Your work is done. You can take your reward at any time, and if you're willing, we can continue with long-term cooperation.

"Destroying the hunting ritual is just the first step. When they see the silver weapons appearing at hunting rituals all over the place, they will understand that we, the gods who are not in the New Pantheon Alliance, are challenging their alliance with the Federation.

"Soon they will suspect us, and the Han family intends to seize this opportunity to weaken the Investigation Department. The Federation's Rank IV adepts will definitely go to the cities where hunting rituals have problems in a short period of time, and we will do something before that happens.

"Not only the Children of the Ocean, but also other gods who are dissatisfied with the current situation are already eager to move. The Salvation Alliance's actions are like war drums, and we have already reached a tacit understanding in this action.

"But it is difficult for the Salvation Alliance and us alone to defeat the Federation, which is colluding with the Investigation Department.

"Fortunately, all the adepts in the Southern Federation have a lot of resentment towards the Investigation Department. I believe you certainly don't want to be managed by them either. We plan to establish some free zones—areas that the Federation cannot control—in the Southern Federation with the Salvation Alliance.

"We will fight for freedom and interests. If you are interested in both…"

Although Shana didn't say it completely clearly, it seemed that the other southern gods outside the New Pantheon Alliance had a lot of hostility towards the former's cooperation with the Federation, and with the Sun God and the Investigation Department already cooperating…

The gods who were dissatisfied with this naturally stood on the same front as the Federation's enemies. Although they and the Salvation Alliance may have had a lot of conflicts in the past, under the current situation, a common enemy pushed them to the same front.

There must be a lot of twists and turns within the gods, but the Salvation Alliance and those adepts who are particularly resistant to the control agreement don't care about these issues. They just need to know that a god has launched a resistance against the Investigation Department's control agreement.

Now that Maen has transferred Fort Witte, he will begin to use it to form the Salvation Secret Alliance, and the purpose of doing so is naturally to strengthen the Abnormal Control Bureau he holds, so as to slowly reach the point where he can influence the world.

And if there is no reason, and only recruiting employees for profit, it is easy to get speculators who covet the control bureau itself.

Expecting to hide the truth for a long time with simple lies can only hope that no smart ambitious people notice the unusual places. Once his current identity and strength are clarified, there will definitely be high-level adepts who want to seize the control bureau itself.

No one knows if the Abnormal Control Bureau can recruit new members if the current director dies.

Moreover, with the Abnormal Control Bureau appearing in the eyes of the world as a brand new organization, Maen, as an "employee," will also be assassinated or kidnapped for profit and information.

But it's different if you change the name of the Abnormal Control Bureau.

The "Salvation Secret Alliance" is ostensibly the remnants of the former Salvation Alliance led by Qin Lan, but it is essentially a branch of the Abnormal Control Bureau. Even if something unusual about the Salvation Secret Alliance is noticed, they will only suspect the imprisoned Divine Firmament Walker.

After all, this is the Salvation Alliance that the Divine Firmament Walker once formed. It's reasonable for it to be a little unusual, right?

Moreover, in this way, not only will the quality and efficiency of his recruitment be higher than before, but also the employees recruited will be members of the Salvation Alliance who have not given up resisting in front of the Federation and the Investigation Department—people who once tried to save the world and did not succumb to power and strength.

As long as he also claims that the Control Bureau has the same goal, it will not be difficult to gain their following and acceptance.

The name and public leader of the Salvation Secret Alliance are not important.

Because as long as the Salvation Secret Alliance locks the captured abnormal entities into the containment room, then they belong to Maen.

And as long as he doesn't do anything evil to destroy the world, then both Qin Lan and the Salvation Secret Alliance will accept his guidance and control. Now there is still a problem…

Even with Qin Lan's identity, it is not easy to convince the other Salvation Alliance members to trust the power of the Control Bureau.

Fortunately, the Southern Federation is now becoming chaotic, and opportunities are emerging along with dangers.

Maen solemnly replied:

"I will consider it carefully."

Maen didn't agree immediately, but he had decided to ensure the establishment of the Godwin State Safe Zone, so that the Salvation Secret Alliance could use it as one of its bases in the future.

Shana finally said to Maen:

"If you have no problem, we can meet in Godwin State, but do it as soon as possible, because the Investigation Department will have a new reaction soon."

After saying that.

Her face gradually disappeared into the basin.

Shana turned to look at her grandson, Han Ming:

"Go and take out all the rewards. Discuss with Maen how to give it to him. Show respect. If he is wary and guarded, don't do anything that might be dangerous."

"Don't scare him away."

Second update, ah, at night, preparing a detailed outline.
