Mo Fan understood the situation. The Black Vatican was familiar with the members of the Enforcement Union in Shanghai. The Enforcement Union could not commit to a huge operation before they learned the Black Vatican's exact hiding spot and more information about their people.

If they sealed off the island, there was a possibility that the people of the Black Vatican would hold the civilians hostage. As such, the Enforcement Union could only post it as a secret quest, hoping that some powerful Hunters would do them the favor.

”Your group is mainly in charge of the operation. I'll assist you secretly, but you have to remember that the situation of Chongming Island is preventing my people and me from getting too close. If you're in danger, and we can't arrive in time, you must hold on,” Leng Qing told them seriously.

Mo Fan nodded slightly, but he soon realized that something did not feel right. He blurted out, ”Hey, Senior Sister, I haven't agreed to it yet!”

”Then why are you asking?” Leng Qing's expression darkened.

”I was just trying to understand the situation. If it's actually a lion's den, I'm afraid that I...”

”I have told you classified information of the Enforcement Union. If anyone is purposely asking for this information, they are committing treason. The offender will be punished according to the circumstances. Do you want to be imprisoned by the Enforcement Union for a couple of months?” said Leng Qing unpleasantly.

”...” Mo Fan was left speechless. For some reason, he felt like he had been set up by the two sisters!

”Alright, fine, at least tell me how many people they have,” said Mo Fan helplessly.

”We aren't too sure yet, but if it's a branch, there must be at least forty people,” speculated Leng Qing.

”What's the reward?” asked Mo Fan.

”Five hundred thousand for a Gray Priest, nine million for a Black Clergy, a hundred and twenty million for a Blue Deacon. Doesn't matter if they are alive or dead, but there must be enough proof to verify their identities,” said Leng Qing.

”Based on the headcount?” asked Mo Fan in surprise.

”The Enforcement Union has always paid according to the number of people that are caught. Hunters are willing to do anything for money. Every year, the names provided by anonymous Hunters to the Enforcement Union are always in three figures. However, Chongming Island is a trickier situation, and we are clueless about their number or strength, so the rates are slightly higher,” said Leng Qing.

”Isn't a hundred twenty million a bit too low for a Blue Deacon?” said Mo Fan.

A Blue Deacon was already able to stir up troubles in a city. A hundred and twenty million did seem too low for a Blue Deacon.

”We are providing the information this time, and you're cooperating with us. If you are able to catch a Blue Deacon with your own source of information, the reward is around two hundred million, depending on the person's position in the Black Vatican,” said Leng Qing.

”Do you pay more if we catch a Blue Deacon alive?” asked Mo Fan.

”Of course, it's better to catch a Blue Deacon alive, since we can learn more names through the person in order to uproot the organization. We can even find out other Blue Deacons, or even Red Cardinals. Unfortunately, not every Blue Deacon is the same as Great Deacon Hu Jin, who reported directly to a Red Cardinal,” scoffed Leng Qing.

Mo Fan's eyes glowed when he heard there was more money if he could catch the Blue Deacons alive.
