Chapter 970: Chapter 354 How Did the Lando Family of the Outer World Become Like This?

An hour later.

Austin removed Twilight Deadlock from Wayne’s neck with an expressionless face.

Wayne had convinced Austin, but not completely. Despite all his talking, Austin couldn’t let it go.

The hatred for killing his wife was beyond reconciliation.

Apart from the few photos that proved discrepancies within and without, Wayne could only make one promise to get Austin to drop Twilight Deadlock,

"I will help you kill Death Knight Wayne and avenge Teacher Slyphy!"

Austin couldn’t refuse and asked, "Why should I believe you? What if you’re in cahoots with him?"

"White Night Purity Words can prove that I’m not the Death Knight. Besides, if I were in league with him, we’d have enough power to raze Lando Manor. There’d be no need to resort to deception and ambush," Wayne said as he raised his longbow, the solid evidence that he truly was the Moonlight Knight.

Austin fell silent, turned around, and gestured for Megan to release Philomena.

The four women approached quickly, wanting to get the story straight.

Looking pale, Philomena wrapped her arm around Wayne’s, "Dear, you said you were the illegitimate son of a Dark Knight, the eldest heir of the Lando Family. Why would this be?"

"In this world, Wayne is the Death Knight. His experiences aren’t the same as mine in the Outer World," Wayne briefly explained.

"Dear?"

Austin stopped in his tracks, frowning at the Wayne sealed by Philomena’s power, and said coldly, "When you brought up the Outer World, you claimed you were my daughter’s fiancé. How come now you’re her ’dear’?"

"You have another fiancée?!"

Philomena’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed in anger, "Didn’t we get engaged and live together in the Inverted World? I’m even carrying your child. How could you get engaged to someone else behind my back!"

What a mess! x3

Megan, Sophia, Anastasia all turned to look at Wayne. As women, they had no fondness for someone juggling two relationships.

"That’s how high society works,"

Wayne said with no shame, blatantly shameless, "Philomena, I am engaged to Veronica, but that doesn’t affect me cohabiting with you. And by the way, you were the one who pursued me first..."

"Impossible!"

"Why is it impossible? You were naive and willing."

"The year you were sent to Lundan as a High Priest by the Moonlight Church headquarters, you were ambushed by the Windsor Magic Department in Lucerne City. The traitor Ob orchestrated it all. I was there representing the Lando Family to negotiate a contract and incidentally saved you, also uncovering Ob’s conspiracy..."

Wayne blabbered on about the beginning and end of their entanglement, tweaking the plot slightly, turning the character of the High Priest not just naive but also self-sacrificing as the intervening third party.

"Impossible!"

Philomena was furiously heaving her chest, incredulous that even with the hero’s rescue boost, she would actively throw herself at Wayne knowing he was engaged.

It made sense... Mina, albeit naive, had some pride and would not lower herself to be the other woman.

Wayne nodded to himself, the corners of his mouth curling up in a slight smile. This puzzle was too easy for him to solve.

He flaunted the White Night Purity Words, calmly saying, "Normally it would be impossible. But what if I, the Moonlight Knight, were also a Pastor of the Naturalism Church, my teacher was the High Priest of the Naturalism Church, and they wanted to groom me to be the Saint Heir of the Naturalism Church? What would you do then?"

"Snatch you... over?"

"See, that’s exactly the point!"

"..."x5

Philomena was utterly baffled, while the others were full of disdain, especially Austin, who looked at Wayne as one would regard a scourge of society.

"Slyphy would have to be insane to take you as a student, let alone wish for her daughter to marry you!"

"Sadly, I’m pretty good at deceiving women."

Seeing Austin again weighing Twilight Deadlock, apparently considering reneging on their alliance, Wayne revealed a secret that only the two of them knew: "Austin, is our Black Cat Monica still around?"

Austin’s expression froze, and he closed his eyes, shaking his head slightly.

"I understand. After I return, I will tell you about this."

Wayne’s eyelid twitched. The Inverted World could replicate the Outer World one-to-one, but absolute powerhouses were excluded, such as Dreyne, Mula, Leo, the three God-chosen Knights, and Torgoguryr, the Ancient God’s Kin from Icebound Continent.

Speaking of Torgoguryr, Wayne turned to Anastasia, the Dark Saintess, "Anastasia, since you’re not staying in Icebound Continent, can I assume that Torgoguryr’s seal is gone?"

"You... Are we close?"

Anastasia’s heart tightened. Wayne’s intimacy of address gave the Holy Maiden an ominous hunch.

"Very close. You are my lover. After the crisis with Icebound Continent’s seal ended, in your capacity as a Holy Maiden, you came to Lundan to establish a Dark Church foothold, and we began cohabiting officially," Wayne recounted truthfully.

"..."x5

The revelation was too explosive. Austin, still mired in the pain of losing his wife, couldn’t help but pause, his view of Wayne shifting from societal trash to a once-in-centuries scourge of society.

Struck as if by lightning, Philomena’s mind buzzed. Good at problem-solving, she was already losing count of the situation. Had she gone mad or foolish in the Outer World, to be willing to bear a child for such trash...

Wait, the opposite party was the Dark Church’s Holy Maiden. It was impossible for her to lose her chastity; the Dark Goddess would never allow it.

That’s right, Wayne was lying! It had to be!

"As you said, I am the Holy Maiden of the Dark Church. It’s impossible for me to lose purity unless I have renounced my position as Holy Maiden in that world."

Countering Wayne’s offensive claim with reason, Anastasia did not lose her temper, "Besides, in my current physical state... would you cohabit with a doll?"
