Chapter 65: Chapter 57: Is Augustus the Mastermind Behind the Scenes? (5000-word Mega Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Qin Chu did not flee.

He and Angelica leisurely enjoyed their breakfast, then headed to the Holy Court.

This time, Qin Chu didn’t sneak in; he entered openly, and after the Holy Knights at the entrance announced him, Augustus immediately rushed over to greet him personally.

It had been the same during the first week.

Although the identity of the Hero was extremely important, Wozworth and Saint Monica also wanted to recruit Qin Chu to their camp. But due to their own statuses and positions, even if they wanted to recruit him, they wouldn’t go overboard.

Only Augustus was different: his enthusiasm even gave Qin Chu the creeps at times.

Upon seeing the Hero again, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Augustus’s eyes.

Qin Chu’s strength had greatly increased.

The aura of the first level of Star Flame Fighting Energy, perhaps due to just having broken through, was not completely under control, causing sparks to occasionally seep through his hair.

In Augustus’s eyes, Qin Chu’s strength was about at level ten, relatively weak, almost like a toad, one he could easily squash with a single finger.

However, just thinking about how Qin Chu had only been in this world for a few days, and had only really started to practice Fighting Energy with Catherine yesterday afternoon, to reach the first level in such a short time was terrifyingly talented.

True to being a Hero.

Even though Augustus himself could definitely be described as a genius, his progress wasn’t as exaggerated as Qin Chu’s. Even the First Generation Brave’s talent was far inferior to Qin Chu’s.

Qin Chu’s exceptional talent and strength surprised Augustus, but also inevitably worried him.

The surprise was that if he could control Qin Chu, it would be an extra bargaining chip against the high and mighty Divine.

The worry was that someone of such exaggerated talent and strength might not be easy to manipulate.

If Augustus knew that the strength Qin Chu had shown was just the tip of the iceberg, his feelings would probably not only be of surprise and worry, but fear.

After a brief period of thought, Augustus quickly suppressed his thoughts, inviting Qin Chu into the Holy Court with a smile, and arranged for a beautiful nun to serve tea.

He then gently began with a smile, "Mr. Brave, do you have any business with me?"

A few thoughts flashed through Qin Chu’s mind as he pondered, "Your Holiness, if possible, I hope you could remove the prohibition from Angelica’s neck."

As expected!

Augustus seemed to have anticipated this and didn’t show much surprise.

"Mr. Brave, this matter may not be proper," he said.

Augustus did not respond, but a voice came from outside the door.

It was Rose Vesper.

As soon as Qin Chu appeared at the Holy Court, someone had immediately notified Rose Vesper, whose influence within the Church was tremendously exaggerated.

Rose Vesper did not want to see Angelica unsealed, as it would bring quite a bit of trouble to her own actions.

"Angelica was once a sinner, only by the generosity of Mr. Brave was she allowed to stay by his side..." Rose Vesper slowly began, actually because Mr. Brave had a thing for maids, but this kind of phrasing wasn’t quite appropriate, so Rose Vesper opted for a more agreeable reason.

"She once cursed other Saintess Candidates; such a woman is very dangerous. If unsealed, I worry she might endanger Mr. Brave," Rose Vesper said.

Angelica just quietly listened.

She couldn’t even bother to refute the mud Rose Vesper was slinging her way.

As long as her master believed in her, how other people viewed Angelica no longer mattered to her. Knowing she would always have her place in her master’s heart was enough.

Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at Rose Vesper, seeing her beautiful facade as nothing more than a clown in Angelica’s eyes, her lips even curled into a mocking smile.

Hissing...

Noticing Angelica’s gaze, Rose Vesper shuddered, a fury igniting in her chest instantly.

Damn scoundrel, this little wench, she’s laughing? She dares to look down on me?

Who gave her the courage?

A person who was once casually manipulated, tormented, and humiliated by her, now had the audacity to look down on her?

Two beautiful women, two pairs of equally beautiful golden eyes, met each other’s gaze.

It seemed as if sparks were flying between them.

Anyone could feel the tense, stormy atmosphere.

The surrounding nuns looked at each other, too nervous to speak.

Augustus watched the scene unfold with a voice full of laughter, pleased to see the tension between Angelica and Rose Vesper escalate.

He wasn’t too keen on seeing Rose Vesper and Qin Chu get too close, after all, the filthy, dirty blood ran through her veins.

Only Qin Chu seemed completely unaware of the tense atmosphere around him, tapping his fingers on the armrest, "Um, I don’t know about the past, nor do I have much interest in it."

"But now, Angelica is my woman, you understand?"

Angelica is my woman!

At these words, a knowingly look flashed across Augustus’s face.

Understood, all understood!

Men, after all this time Qin Chu hasn’t touched Angelica, one would start to question if there was something wrong with the Hero. For someone who has a thing for maids, Angelica’s charm is boundless.
