Chapter 930: Chapter 343: Goddess, is, is that you? _2

In the blink of an eye, two dark shadows collided in mid-air, Megan landing lightly while Ivan flew out like a cannonball.

Existing within the Life Force Field, Ivan should not have been so disheveled. Puzzled, he stood up, gazing at his trembling right arm and frowned, "Butler, are you human?"

"Not."

"I see."

Ivan shook his arm, quickly regenerating his damaged muscles, and said solemnly, "I originally only intended to give Wayne’s father a beating. It seems now that without going through you, there’s no way to reach Austin."

"Mr. Ivan, may I ask who your daughter is?" Megan asked logically.

"The Holy Maiden of the Dark Church!"

Ivan grimaced, "That bastard, he even dared to strike the Holy Maiden. This issue has blown up, and your Lando Family will not fare well either."

"..."x2

(눈‸눈)x2

Austin: This kid really did strike at the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church. The second Saina?

Megan: Young master, you are being somewhat excessive. She is the Holy Maiden, the vessel of the Dark Goddess descending to the Mortal World.

"Now are you afraid?"

"A bit, but it’s nothing much."

With neither approval nor disapproval, Megan said, "Mr. Ivan’s daughter is the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church and a powerful Legendary Mage herself. Presumably holding a high position within the Dark Church, the Lando Family, supported by the Dark Knight, should not make it difficult for The Church."

"So what if it is so? I am the Pope, my daughter is the Holy Maiden, who in The Church would dare accuse me unjustly?" Ivan snorted coldly.

"..."x2

(는‸는)x2

Even the Dark Knight and his mount Giant Dragon were dumbfounded. A father as Pope and a daughter as Holy Maiden, when had the Dark Church become this way?

Wouldn’t the Goddess care to intervene?

Ivan, declaring his identity without any intention to conceal it, scattered a black light from his eyes, manipulating the Life Force Field to separate Megan and Austin.

How could anyone who could become the Pope be a mere unthinking brute?

While verbally challenging Megan to single combat, Ivan gestured to send her off and strode towards Austin, his eyes ablaze with red light, menaced, "Austin, your butler is gone, what will you do now?"

As his voice dropped, a fist as large as a cauldron slammed down, dividing the air, like a meteor falling from the sky, the roaring cyclone causing Austin to slightly squint.

He fiercely grabbed the Ancient Silver Coin, raising his hand in a fist to meet the blow.

As their fists collided, both men stepped back simultaneously.

"Ah?"

Ivan sounded surprised once again, only using a third of his strength. Megan, who was inhuman, could easily block, but Austin... Just a mere Silver Mage, by what means?

There’s something eerie about the Lando Family!

Ivan’s expression shifted unpredictably. He knew, holding a high position, that repeated failures during probing hinted at something. He hadn’t given his all, nor had the opponent; once the battle escalated to a clash of final reserves, it would probably be hard to conclude.

Moreover...

A fleeting glimpse of darkness on Austin’s person gave Ivan a slight feeling of crisis. The opponent was surely not just a simple Silver Mage but probably a Legendary Mage who had concealed his realm.

A cultivation level equal to his, a formidable opponent who could only be defeated by going all out!

Ordinarily, Ivan would have left, devised a targeted plan through intelligence gathering, then dismantled it step by step to ensure nothing went wrong.

Today, that wouldn’t do; he was here for Anastasia. Leaving now would only make Wayne intensify his shameless schemes against his daughter.

"Hold on, this battle is pointless. No matter who gets hurt between us, Wayne will be the one rejoicing."

Austin directly clarified his stance; the entire Lando Family—lady, miss, and butler—all supported the young master, except he didn’t. He stood by Ivan’s side.

"What do you mean?"

"The situation with the Lando House is complicated. As soon as Wayne was born, I sent him away. My intention was to protect the family lineage, but because he suffered from an early age, he deeply resents me, his father."

With a resigned look like Wayne, Austin could spin tales too, "I wanted to deal with Wayne, but his mother adores him excessively and, in less than two years, nurtured his fear-inducing temperament. It’s embarrassing to admit, but out of jealousy for his sister, who has lived in luxury from childhood, and to spite me, he involved his own sister..."

"Ah, such misfortune for the family!"

"What nonsense, he even involved his own sister..."

Ivan widened his eyes in disgust, "You disgraceful nobles with no sense of decency!"

That’s your prejudice against nobility!

Austin felt aggrieved internally, shook his head with a sigh, feeling ashamed, "Upon learning this, I wanted to break his legs, but the lady held me back. A mother’s indulgence often spoils a child; she would rather declare to the world that the daughter is adopted, mistakenly approve an engagement between the siblings than allow me to touch a hair on Wayne’s head."

Ivan was absolutely captivated like any layman; this scandal was too sensational, and he would spread it no matter what.

Tomorrow he would print it in the newspapers and broadcast the scandal of the Lando Family!

Considering that Windsor now held sway over the Lando Family, and the threat of possibly being shot in the back for libeling the Royal Family, no newspaper owner would dare do it. Ivan decided to mobilize the Church’s power.

He, the dignified Pope, still had that authority.

That settled it!

Then again, Wayne, that beastly creature not sparing even his sister, his daughter’s purity was likely in imminent danger and could not be delayed any further.

Otherwise, he could tolerate, the Goddess couldn’t, his daughter would bear the first detrimental consequences!

"Austin, well said, but as Wayne is your son, you can’t escape today’s beating!" Ivan took a deep breath, ready to give his all.
