Chapter 580: Might as Well Die Directly

At the headquarters of the Cleanup Bureau, within a small conference hall known as the Sunshade Hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the reason I and the Sagittarius Director have called you here is that there are several extremely important matters that we need to inform you about as soon as possible."

The main seat was vacant, and the Taurus Director, seated in the secondary position, surveyed the more than eighty summoned shadows below. With a complex expression, he announced:

"First, according to the investigation by the Scorpio Bureau, the Gemini Division located in the Corlock Kingdom has been completely annihilated. Nearly half of its members have been killed or imprisoned, and the rest have been subjected to soul-level enslavement. Only Nicole Cormann, a first-class cleaner from the original Gemini Division, has escaped this fate."

"?!?!"

Although they knew that in the case of the headquarters being self-sealed, temporarily convening all the division leaders from various divisions for a remote meeting must be a significant event, such explosive news still caught everyone off guard.

Facing such shocking information, the division leaders of the Cleanup Bureau, although their physical bodies were not present, and they couldn't engage in whispered conversations, exchanged glances of astonishment, and some had even started private chats.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please maintain silence!"

After forcefully clapping his hands to abruptly cut off the private chats among the division leaders, the Taurus Director, with a grim expression, said:

"Regarding this matter, you can discuss it after the meeting. What we need to do now is to decide what to do about the vacant Gemini Division!"

What to do with the vacant Gemini Division? After hearing the Taurus Director's words, a slightly hunched shadow among the twelve Zodiac Divisions coughed a couple of times and then raised his hand to speak:

"Your Excellency Taurus, the division leader of the Furnace Division, Boris, had already surpassed 60 Leon Value points twenty years ago. He can directly fill the position, taking on the responsibility of rebuilding the Gemini Division."

Upon hearing the hunched shadow's words, the crowd of shadows suddenly realized and raised their arms one after another, making their recommendations:

"Your Excellency Taurus, I recommend the division leader of the Duke Division, Anduin!"

"I also recommend Boris from the Furnace Division!"

"Your Excellency Taurus! The Compass Division volunteers!"

"Silence!"

Clapping his hands again to interrupt the recommendations, the Taurus Director couldn't help but glance at the Virgin Division's seat, then spoke up:

"This situation is a bit complicated; it's not as simple as directly selecting a replacement.

Although most of the cleaners from the Gemini Division have been rescued, many of them were involved in the rebellion initiated by the Water Bottle Director. They have committed numerous violations, and these need to be slowly investigated and held accountable.

Furthermore, the issue isn't limited to the Gemini Division; the third prince of the Corlock Kingdom, Andre, has also colluded with the Water Bottle Director, resulting in the deaths of most of the royal family members..." He paused, then called out, "Edward!"

After addressing the Scorpio Chief, the Taurus Director supported his forehead with his hand and said with a helpless expression:

"You were the leader of this investigation. It's best if you brief us on the situation in the Corlock Kingdom."

"Okay..."

After responding, the Scorpio Chief's shadow stood up. After a brief hesitation, he decided to be straightforward:

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Corlock Kingdom is no more."

"?!?!"

Facing the Scorpio Chief's shocking revelation, all the shadows in the room trembled, and the red-haired man sitting opposite him couldn't help but widen his eyes, a sense of extreme foreboding filling his mind.

"Your Excellency Edward?"

After a long silence, the hunched shadow who had first recommended a replacement broke the silence, his voice filled with shock:

"Can you explain the situation in the Corlock Kingdom more clearly?"

"The Corlock Kingdom... has been completely destroyed."

The Scorpio Chief slightly lowered his head and continued:

"Although the 1.3 million citizens are still alive, over 99% of the kingdom's territory has been completely incinerated, and almost all royal family members have perished. The sole surviving princess has no intention of inheriting the throne and has surrendered on behalf of the Corlock Royal Family, effectively ending the kingdom's existence.

(End of Chapter)Thanatos: "This..."

Even with some mental preparation, the revelation of the Corroc Kingdom's fate left everyone in the room stunned. The first to speak, a hunched-over figure, asked in disbelief:

"Director Edward! Could you please explain to us how the Corroc Kingdom was completely destroyed, even with you leading the team?"

"..."

I was caught off guard and almost died from an ambush. Then, I was forcibly controlled and got into a scuffle with the surviving cleaners on our side. Finally, after being rescued, I fell asleep, and by the time I woke up, the Corroc Kingdom was already gone. Not only did I not help, but I also caused quite a bit of chaos...

If I were to explain it in this way, I might as well have just died in the Corroc Kingdom!

Just then, the Scorpio Chief's clothes were tugged, and a shadow appeared behind him.

"Division Leaders, Director Edward is still recovering from his injuries, so I'll take over the explanation for the latter part."

After bowing to the assembled leaders, Lyon, who had been brought to the meeting by the Scorpio Chief, spoke up:

"I was also part of the investigation team. This mission was extremely dangerous, and our enemies included not only the Butcher's Guild targeting various royal families but also the royal family we were supposed to protect."

Director Edward had sensed the anomaly beforehand and deliberately split the team. I was tasked with protecting Princess Felicia, who had been rescued, while Senior Alger, a first-class cleaner, remained with me. Director Edward led the rest of the team to continue the highly dangerous investigation.

After being ambushed, I first struggled against their control, buying time for Senior Alger and me. I also keenly noticed the issue with their control method and, relying on our mutual understanding, skillfully broke free from their restraints.

When I discovered that my soul had been tampered with, he resolutely allowed me to consume his soul, despite the potential damage to his soul afterward. This provided the crucial power that helped me and others escape the perilous situation, ultimately turning the tide in our favor..."

Those who have climbed to the position of Division Leader are generally quite intelligent. After Lyon finished recounting the investigation, the shadows of dozens of Division Leaders exchanged glances, and a look of understanding appeared on their faces.

So... rushing in to take credit, only to be ambushed, controlled, and lying there until the end?

Regardless of how this new kid tried to defend himself, it was clear from the facts that Edward was the one holding the team back during this investigation. The one who truly took charge and carried the burden was likely this kid he brought along.

"I see..."

After explaining the situation and retreating back behind the Scorpio Chief, Lyon glanced at the hunched-over figure. Considering that he might have faced a similar fate as Edward, he chose not to press further. Instead, he gave the Scorpio Chief some face and nodded, saying,](https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F676294694826224708%2F&psig=AOvVaw37b57q57458046&ust=170End of Chapter
