Chapter 670: Chapter 43 Payday

No guest would have thought that the grand drama of the Immanuel Family would come to a close so quickly.

Harman and Rafael were clearly up to no good, even pulling out the traditions of the Komans to pressure their own sister into accepting their duel challenge.

However, the final result made their efforts look like a joke.

With the help of Sabbath, Angela almost effortlessly defeated the challenger, who was several times her size, even scaring Rafael so much that he dared not make a move.

The two brothers were now visibly deflated, slumped in their chairs like frostbitten eggplants.

But the most embarrassed person was Gwen, who had come all the way from Rock Snow City, and it wasn’t to witness Angela become the Family Head of the Immanuel Family.

Gwen had promised Hels to curb the development of the Arias family and the Double Rest Sect, so naturally, Black Stone City, next to Green Field, had also come into his sights.

Just then, Harman sought him out for help, and they hit it off, but Gwen did not accept the substantial thank-you fee Harman offered.

The Figrola family wasn’t exactly short on money, so Gwen hoped that once Harman became the Family Head, he would stop trading with Green Field and help the Silver Moon Church expel the followers of the Double Rest Sect from his territory.

Harman had agreed to these demands, thinking that with the support of the Figrola Family, the position of Family Head was already in his pocket, but he didn’t expect the Double Rest Sect to have such a gift of Divine Power.

Gwen now regretted that he should have been firmer and used Ilkand’s incident to force the Immanuel Family to choose Harman as Family Head.

Even if it would cost the Figrola Family some of its reputation and cause dissatisfaction among his vassals, it was, after all, the wealthiest Immanuel Family in the West.

Gwen felt it was worth it, as long as he could make the Immanuel Family obey, he could make up for all the losses.

But now, instead of controlling the Immanuel Family, Gwen, through a series of maneuvers, had pushed them towards the Arias family.

Listening to the housekeeper named Galin speak earlier, she seemed to have already made up her mind to have the entire family, and all the people on the territory, convert to the Double Rest Sect.

This was something Gwen simply could not accept.

So, while all the guests in the hall were either sincerely or politely congratulating Angela on becoming the next Family Head of the Immanuel Family,

Gwen suddenly spoke up, "Now that the Immanuel Family has a leader, can we resolve the previous matter?"

"You’re referring to...?" the housekeeper said.

"The matter of Ilkand betraying my family," Gwen continued, "That cowardly wretch shamelessly murdered Marquis Kuren and is still missing to this day."

"We will send more people to capture him."

"That’s not enough," Gwen interrupted Galin, "After all, he is from the Immanuel Family, who knows if you’ll shelter him.

"Here’s what we’ll do. I’ll give you one month. In one month, you need to find him and hand him over to me, to ensure he receives the punishment he deserves.

"If a month goes by and I still haven’t seen the man, then don’t blame me for not being polite. I will send people to personally come to your territory and take away all the suspicious fellows, and in addition, you will need to prepare a compensation of three hundred thousand gold lions."

"Three hundred thousand is a bit too much," Angela couldn’t help saying.

Gwen glanced at her, "I’m not haggling with you. Remember, you only have one month."

Having said that, he ignored everyone else in the hall, put on his fur cloak, and walked out of the hall with a stern face.

After Gwen left, Miss Rabbit curled her lip, "That guy... is he taking care of personal grudges under the guise of official business?" If Marquis Harman, whom he supports, became the head of the Immanuel Family, he probably wouldn’t set such harsh terms.

"But then again, Ilkand is being hunted throughout the West Territory, and no one has been able to find him. Where on earth is he hiding?"

"Someone should know," Li Yu said.

"Who?"

"Hirodod. No one knows better than him how to hide in the West Territory."

Galin then came over, returned the dueling pistol, and expressed her gratitude to Li Yu again. Upon hearing their conversation, she said.

"I’ve already sent people to Duolin City, and thanks to your help this time, I’ll take it from here."

After a pause, she turned to Li Yu, "Prophet Merlin, before you leave, could you also conduct a conversion ceremony for me? I want to convert to the Double Rest Sect as soon as possible."

Li Yu nodded, "Certainly, I have plenty of time this afternoon, and I will send more Sabbath preachers here later."

Gaining the support of the Immanuel Family was not a small victory for Li Yu either.

The Immanuel Family owns two towns with a population exceeding one hundred thousand, and both Angela, the current Family Head, and Galin, who is effectively in charge, will now become followers of the Double Rest Sect.

With their full support, the conversion of other people in this land to the Sect is just a matter of time.

Right now, Li Yu is about one hundred thousand faith points away from P6, and he is already generating close to sixty thousand faith points each month. This means that if he gains another forty thousand followers this month, he could advance another level.

And in another dimension, one month equates to three months over here, so there should still be time to catch up.

Moreover, with a one-to-one exchange rate, Li Yu’s labor income next month will once again exceed one hundred thousand.

Plus the year-end bonus and the money he saved earlier, buying property in City B still seemed out of reach—a third of it relies on hard work, and the rest is by fortune of birth.

But returning to his hometown, he could afford a nice house, or settling down in a small city with better air quality in the south also seemed like a good idea.

Always renting, though not impossible, is ultimately not as comfortable as owning your own home, and there’s always the hassle of moving to consider.

However, this is still a distant concern, as he needs to take into account the other employees at the project department.

Li Yu didn’t dwell on it too much.

The "Momotaro’s Dumpling" that Shi Yitong gave him was frozen in the fridge because he couldn’t find a suitable use for it yet.

He even labeled it, reminding Wang Guowei not to eat it by mistake.

Last month’s faith points were also distributed, and with the remaining three thousand plus points from before, Li Yu now had almost ten thousand faith points on hand.

It was time to do some shopping again.

Last time, he put the "Water Purification Gem" he bought in the newly built reservoir, and the effect was good, allowing people in Double Rest Sect territory to drink clean water.

This time, he had his eye on another item in the shop.
