Chapter 1173: Chapter 405: I Beg You, Please Don’t Die

Finished breakfast.

Primarily, after Isabella took care of breakfast, Wayne and Mona went their separate ways.

The former headed to the Natural Church District Headquarters to investigate the High Priest and see if he could extract information about The Black Principle Cult, while the latter went to gather information about the Reincarnated Angels, to ensure they could follow up and pick off kills when the Angels moved en masse.

"Well written, it’s all plain truth, hard to tell that someone as serious as you would be so skilled at flattering the leadership."

On the way, Wayne couldn’t help but comment; if Chris had such talent, she wouldn’t have had to trade her beauty for inspiration and outlines, and could become a renowned author on her own merits.

Isabella, with a full stomach and heart full of bliss, gazed at her long-term meal ticket and blinked without saying a word.

"What’s the matter, any problems?" Wayne was unaware that the Soundproof Barrier had failed the night before, and all the beats that accompanied it were heard by Isabella.

"Uh, Divine Oracle High Priest... Mister Wayne, I have a very important question, please answer carefully."

"Just Wayne will do, no need to be so polite, it puts distance between us."

"Mister Wayne, when you said yesterday that you were getting promoted and wouldn’t treat an old friend badly, were you planning to plant your own informant in the Paris District?" Isabella asked succinctly.

"That way of putting it...is not impossible..."

Wayne stroked his chin, thinking that an acquainted person accepting underhanded commentary hurts, affecting his upright and virtuous image in Isabella’s eyes, so he simply didn’t mention it.

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief. After a full meal, in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment, she reasoned that being Wayne’s lover just for the sake of a long-term meal ticket was too shameful. Now that they had spoken clearly, her dignity and self-respect were instantly restored.

"Mister Wayne, I am willing to serve you. You are the Divine Oracle High Priest of The Church, and offering my loyalty to you is not a disgrace."

"The way you put it, seems like you’ve cooled off, I’ve always treated you as a friend." Wayne was slightly disappointed; there were too many insects in the Naturalism Church, and Isabella’s harsh words suggested she hadn’t escaped their corrupt influences.

"Thank you for your recognition."

Isabella nodded, acknowledging her place; Wayne could treat her as a friend, but she couldn’t afford to treat the Divine Oracle High Priest as one.

Having accepted her subordinate status, Isabella spoke more directly: "The reason the composition is good is because I practice often. My former leader, who also happens to be your mentor, didn’t like sycophantic flattery. Reports and documents like that were always my responsibility."

So that’s how it was!

Wayne realized, adding another entry to his old teacher’s dark history, planning to share it with Veronica and stir the pot between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Isabella’s sudden shift in attitude made Wayne quite uncomfortable, wondering, "I recall when we first met, you were a very assertive woman, whose courage and tenacity left a deep impression on me. How come after only two years, you’ve become so..."

"So humble?"

"I never said that."

"I am a member of the Scalpel Organization, The Church’s scalpel for eliminating dissenters. Aside from during missions, I don’t need to think much." Isabella explained.

Now that she’s found a backer of Divine Oracle High Priest level, there’s even less need to overthink things. She sells her loyalty, Wayne provides long-term patronage; it’s as simple as that.

"Since you’ve said it, your life is in my hands now." Wayne patted Isabella’s shoulder, "I must say, you have good judgment. You’ve caught the last tailwind of investment. Missing this chance, it’ll be tough to hop on again."

Isabella didn’t understand, but since Wayne said so, she nodded in agreement.

Already so obedient without having been trained, if she gets a bit tainted, won’t her loyalty max out?

The more Wayne considered Isabella, the more satisfied he became, contemplating making her a dependent but deciding against it. Tentacle Monster and Glamor Lady went well together, a long-lasting special relationship, but if the Glamor Lady herself was the Tentacle Monster...

That would be too disturbing.

Having already three Glamor Lady Tentacle Monsters, Wayne didn’t want to add more, deciding on a formal approach to develop Isabella, letting others know there’s nothing wrong with working for him.

"Isabella, are you the head of the Scalpel Organization?"

"No, ever since Slyphy the High Priest resigned, the Scalpel Organization has been without a new leader. It’s been divided into four parts, each controlled by a different Priest. I’m just a captain, a third-level Pastor."

"A Gold Mage Level Pastor?"

Wayne commented, "A Gold Mage in Lundan could even become a High Priest, Frank’s resources are truly abundant."

It was clear that the Scalpel Organization was split by those in power; public resources became personal travel, turned into private armed forces of the four Priests, with Isabella suppressed, not having an easy time in Frank.

Wayne thought it over and planned to transfer her to Lundan to help his old teacher Slyphy re-establish the Scalpel Organization, and while he was at it, call the Pope to arrange a Priest position.

Everyone everywhere being his person, that’s the decision made happily.

As Wayne shared his arrangements, Isabella was skeptical, holding onto the empty promise uncertainly: "Mister Wayne, the Pope..."

"Wayne!"

"Wayne, even if you are the Divine Oracle High Priest, still being pupil of the Pope’s former pupil, it’s impossible just because of a phone call..."

"Possible."

Wayne interrupted and slowly said: "Since you’ve pledged your loyalty to me, you need to understand who you are serving."

Listening to the serious tone, Isabella couldn’t help but swallow hard.

"Before I became the Divine Oracle High Priest, I was acknowledged by the Elemental Mantra, the next in line to become the Naturalist Knight. It was because of this status that I was able to support Saina in becoming the Pope."
