"Mr. Chu Feng, this is roughly what happened with the Bizarre events at the Gordon's residence."

Holman, the captain of the Spirit Explorer team from the Exorcism Agency, was standing in Chu Feng's office giving his report.

With a SNAP, Chu Feng closed the file in his hands, his fingers lightly tapping on the desk as he pondered silently.

Annabelle? Huh. Indeed, a name that feels quite familiar!

If Chu Feng's memory served him right, wasn't there an ugly Demon from Hell lurking behind this doll known as Annabelle?

No, that's not right! It seems like... in the plot, this Annabelle had some sort of connection with a Demon God from Hell...

HISS.

After carefully recalling the storyline, Chu Feng drew a sharp breath. With his current strength, if he actually encountered a Demon God, he would probably have no hope of survival!

However... it seems like the Hell Demon God can't come to the Human World yet. I should... be able to take this on!

After his thoughts raced for a few moments, Chu Feng remembered some encouraging information.

Having sat in deep thought for some time, Chu Feng finally raised his head to look at Holman standing before him.

"Has any Exorcist from the Agency been there yet?"

"Manager Taran previously sent a team of Exorcists, but... the results weren't good," Holman said hesitantly.

"Oh? What happened?"

"The Fourth Level Exorcist leading the team was seriously injured and has been sent to the hospital. The other Exorcists, not having directly faced the Bizarre and not being its main target, all managed to escape."

Holman's words made Chu Feng's eyes narrow, a glint of cold light flashing in his pupils.

A mere Demon has really stirred up quite a fuss!

Leaning back into his comfortable leather chair, Chu Feng said, "Alright, I'll take this case. Go back and tell Manager Taran."

"Yes, Mr. Chu Feng!"

After acknowledging, Holman turned and left Chu Feng's office.

Annabelle? Huh.

As his fingers tapped lightly on the desk, a playful smile touched Chu Feng's lips.

Just then, the sounds of an argument, gradually growing clearer, came from outside the office.

"John, do you understand timing? We need to seize the opportune moment!"

"Don't talk to me about timing, James! All I know is that the Agency is just getting started, and what's most important now is to maintain a steady pace!"

"You really are a stubborn old geezer!"

"Thanks for the compliment!"

The noise outside Chu Feng's office door stopped abruptly.

Moments later, there was a knock.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

"Come in!"

CLICK! A light sound came from the office door's handle as it turned, and then two figures, one in white and one in black, entered one after the other.

"James, John, what's going on with you two?" Chu Feng asked with a smile, looking at the two men who immediately stood far apart upon entering. He shook his head.

The two who entered were indeed the managers in charge of the Agency's business operations.

Upon hearing Chu Feng's question, James glanced at John on the other side and quickly stepped forward before John could react.

"BOSS, take a look. This is the meticulously prepared expansion plan for the Agency's future," he said, handing a document to Chu Feng.

"Oh? Then I must take a good look!"

Seeing the look of anticipation on James's face, Chu Feng picked up the document from the desk.

"Mr. Chu Feng, James's plan is too aggressive. I suggest we put this plan on hold for now," John interjected as Chu Feng picked up the proposal, ignoring James's murderous glare.

"BOSS, don't mind the nonsensical babbling of this old fellow who's already got one foot in the grave! What we need to do now is seize the opportunity!"

"You—" Hearing James's description of himself, John, now furious, opened his mouth, ready to teach this black devil a lesson.

"Enough, stop arguing! How old are you two anyway?" Chu Feng, who had just opened the document, looked up in resignation, stopping them.

"James, just explain the plan directly."

To prevent James from spouting more offensive words, Chu Feng quickly shifted his attention.

James indeed stopped arguing with John.

"BOSS, here's my plan."

"Although the number of Exorcists in our Agency's Exorcism Department is slowly increasing, our Agency's expansion cannot wait for them."

"I plan to immediately open Agency branches in other cities in New York State, then across the entire eastern part of America. Finally, we'll spread throughout the whole country. This will ensure the Agency stands at the pinnacle of America's Exorcism world."

"With this speed of expansion, the growth rate of Exorcists within the Agency simply cannot keep up. What are we going to do about the Exorcism commissions these branches will receive in the future?" John immediately challenged.

James didn't argue this time, merely casting a disdainful glance at John.

"I naturally considered that problem!"

"The newly expanded branches obviously won't have a complete team of Exorcists like headquarters right away. So, naturally, they can't start accepting commissions immediately!"

"Can't accept commissions? Then what's the point of opening these branches? To waste money?" John's questioning voice rose again.

"Shut up, John! You need to listen to me patiently," James snapped, giving John a stern look.

"I was just pointing out the flaws in the plan," John replied coolly, not taking offense, then closed his mouth.

Seeing that John wasn't interrupting anymore, James continued his explanation.

"BOSS, the key to this plan is the Spiritual Power Detector you installed in the Agency's main building!"

"Currently, throughout America, only we can provide ratings for Exorcists with that unique device. Countless people online are looking forward to getting their Exorcist Level badges!"

"As long as our branches' first service is to grade Exorcists, we'll be able to obtain data on most Exorcists within each branch's area."

"Eventually, the branches will naturally be able to set up their own local Exorcism Departments. After that, it will be only natural to start accepting Exorcism commissions!"

John, after listening, opened his mouth, ready to voice another doubt, but James didn't give him the chance.

"Of course, there are risks involved. The local Exorcist organizations definitely aren't going to sit by and watch us grow!"

"That's when we'll have to bring out the unique reserves from our Agency's underground storage!"

"But that's going to require a lot of funding!" John added from the side at the right moment.

"The Agency has been making a fortune recently and has accumulated some savings. As for the rest..."

Mid-sentence, James and John both looked towards Chu Feng behind the desk.

Huh? You two weren't just putting on a show for me, were you? Chu Feng, taken aback by their sudden, unified gaze, took a moment to process before finally figuring out their tactic.
