Chapter 954: Chapter 763, Evil Profession Chapter 954: Chapter 763, Evil Profession The burly knight suddenly turned his target, loudly reprimanding someone to the side.
Wu Heng furrowed his brows and also turned his head to look behind.
He saw Lilith's eyes also looking this way, her indifferent face with narrowed eyes seemed surprised that she was implicated just by watching the excitement.
Lilith looked toward the burly man, her voice rich in texture, “Are you talking to me?”
“You don't know the height of heaven and the depth of earth, yet you dare to question me?” the knight's voice grew harsher.
Wu Heng immediately made his stance clear, “This lady is my esteemed guest, say what you need to but do not disturb others.”
After all, they were in the Island Lord's Mansion, and it wouldn't be right not to say something.
“Oh?” the man's gaze settled back on the girl, then glanced at Wu Heng, “Your esteemed guest, wouldn't happen to be from some evil profession from somewhere, would she? Take her back with us, let her return after we've investigated clearly.”
Wu Heng looked at the man, his guess was quite accurate.
Tap, tap, tap~!
Lilith hopped down from her seat and walked down slowly.
“You still want to capture me?”
Seeing that she dared to come down, the burly man stood up fiercely, his towering figure over two meters tall, emanating an oppressive aura like a massive mountain, “Dare to talk back further, and I'll right now just…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw the girl in front flicking her pale finger casually.
The next second, he felt his mouth growing smaller and smaller, gradually unable to speak.
Touching with his hand, he found that his mouth had disappeared.
Then his vision started to blur, and his eyes vanished as well.
Whoosh~!
The burly man's complexion changed drastically, relying on memory, his body leaped up abruptly and threw a punch in the direction of the girl.
Thud~!
A muffled sound.
The man's body instantly flew backward, smashing the tables and chairs behind him.
The Bishop's face turned drastically, Holy Light flaring up, but at this moment a similar Emblem was tossed over.
His instinct was to dodge, but as it flipped through the air, he caught a glimpse of the Emblem's design.
He caught it with his hand, looking closely once more.
The main branch, the ruling Leader's Emblem.
Symbolizing the current right of governance.
His voice trembled, disbelief apparent in his tone, “Leader, Leader.”
Although he had never been to the main branch, having reached level 18, he still had enough knowledge.
This kind of Emblem had been recorded in the association's books, the Emblem of the ruling Leader.
The burly man who staggeringly stood up at the distance, his mouth and eyes gone, but he heard clearly the words spoken here.
His complexion changed as well.
The Church Leader?
Here?
Lilith looked at the Bishop, still expressionless, and asked, “What's your name?”
Cold sweat surfaced on the Bishop's forehead, “Dirk Gavin!”
Lilith nodded, resettling into her sofa seat, “Attacking and insulting the Leader, this is the first time in many years such a thing has occurred. Do you think if I killed the two of you, would Saidu try to fight me to the death?”
“This…” The Bishop's forehead beaded with sweat, dropping like rain, “Leader, spare my life.”
There was only one female governing Leader, no need for guessing, and indeed relations with The Holy Court were not good.
Now that he struck first, he had given the other party a valid reason.
Lilith, softly said, “Take him back to the main branch for punishment.”
After speaking, she flicked her finger once again.
The Bishop's mouth also disappeared in an instant, only able to utter whining sounds.
“Go back and prepare!”
The Bishop wanted to speak but could no longer open his mouth. Resigned, he returned the Emblem to the coffee table and then, supporting the burly man, left the mansion.
They came striding in boldly but left cautiously.
And so they left the mansion, Robey followed to close the door firmly.
Leaving the Island Lord's Mansion, the Bishop and the burly knight both donned hooded cloaks.
Supporting each other, they walked toward the distant carriage awaiting them.
“Priest, where to next?” the Priest asked softly from outside.
An arm extended from the carriage window, pointing in the direction of The Holy Court.
The Priest nodded, “Back to The Holy Court.”
The carriage began to move away slowly.
Inside the carriage, the eyes of the Bishop were still filled with indelible fear, and the burly knight's expression was also exceptionally grave.
They had intended to trouble the other party, planning to warn them with their strength.
Yet they never anticipated it turning out like this.
How did a Leader appear in the mansion on Gold and Silver Island?
Was it not said he had no backing?
Damn it!
The burly man kept coughing violently, his mouth gone, causing streams of blood to flow from his nose.
The Bishop cast the Holy Word Technique, stabilizing his injury for a moment.
The burly man took out paper and pen from space, fumbling to write, “Is that really the Leader? Lilith?”
The Bishop also wanted to write back, but his own mouth had been sealed. Since the other party could not see, he could only write in the man's palm, “It must be her.”
“What should we do next?”
The Bishop continued to write, “First, write a letter to the Saidu Leader, then head back to headquarters to receive punishment.”
The two maintained silence again.
Their hearts filled with bitterness and regret.
After all that haste, they caused no harm to the others, but both ended up in such a plight themselves.
Face could be dealt with, but upon reaching headquarters, it was uncertain what kind of punishment awaited them.
Moreover, with both of them in this state, the reduction of personnel on Gold and Silver Island was likely unstoppable.
Unless the Saidu Leader returned, only then could he hold back the entire situation.
The remaining journey was still quiet.
The carriage slowly made its way toward the Church.
Island Lord's Mansion.
After the two departed, Wu Heng glanced at Lilith sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
Her expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened.
He had thought Lilith would have directly killed one of them.
After all, in the memory of consuming the Exile, Lilith was known to be quite ruthless.
It seemed that she still gave face to The Holy Court, or perhaps she didn't want to foster irreconcilable conflicts over such a trivial matter.
That was better; had they actually died on the island, he would have his own trouble.
“Thank you, Leader, for helping me out of a tight spot,” Wu Heng expressed his thanks.
The trouble had started when the burly man provoked Lilith.
But some pleasantries still had to be said for the sake of future favors.
Lilith asked, “Why did you allow The Holy Court to establish themselves on the island?”
“Ah!” Wu Heng sighed, recounting the story of The Holy Court Leader forcefully buying a shop to establish the Church while he was not on the island.
His tone was somewhat aggrieved, as if the islanders had been bullied in his absence, and the matter had been settled without his input.
After listening, Lilith showed little change in her expression and said, “So, the restrictive decree you issued was also targeting them?”
Wu Heng promptly denied it, “It was to control the local gangs. This is a pirate island, and residents are used to forming alliances. I just didn't expect The Holy Court to react so strongly.”
Lilith gave him a look, then turned to the old servant behind her and instructed, “Select a location on the island to establish the Gray Saint Church.”
“Yes, Miss,” the old man responded.
Damn it!
Another one.
What kind of mess are they all gathering on my island?
If two religious denominations start here, it would throw the island into chaos.
Wu Heng said, “Why buy anything? The island is expanding. When the time comes, I'll leave a good building for you. It can't be worse than The Holy Court's or they'll think we are inferior.”
“Hmm!” Lilith nodded in satisfaction, “Then I'll wait for your news.”
“No problem,” Wu Heng quickly changed the subject, “Mini, is the cinema ready?”
Mini immediately replied, “It's ready.”
“Leader Lilith, this gentleman, let's go watch a movie. Let's not let those impolite people spoil your mood,” Wu Heng stood up and gestured for them to proceed.
“Alright,” Lilith nodded.
Wu Heng led the way to the cinema room, with Lilith and the elderly servant following.
They settled into their chosen seats.
Mini went to play the movie, and Wu Heng sat next to Lilith, explaining, “This is a film, the story is scripted, and the scenes are all recorded beforehand, so don't be too alarmed.”
Lilith glanced at him, waved her hand to indicate she knew, and needed no explanation.
Wu Heng said no more. The movie began.
When the sound effects and the images appeared, Lilith's body still jolted sharply, but seeing from the corner of her eye that Wu Heng and the other maids had no reaction, she continued to watch the screen.
Association.
Xi Ligui returned from her rounds and removed her helmet, exhaling deeply.
She adjusted the air conditioning down a few degrees before asking, “Any news from Wu Heng's side?”
Shi Yali handed her a cool drink, “Nothing, there's been no news since they returned.”
Xi Ligui sat down at her office desk.
Shi Yali leaned on the side of her chair, whispering in a very low voice, “Sister, you don't think she will force Wu Heng into doing anything under the guise of her Leader status, do you?”
“Do what?”
“Be her male concubine.”
