"Boss Lin isn't against the rivalry between me and Wang Erde. Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the chance to meet. He just feels that the timing isn't right."
"Judging from the current situation, he's letting Wang Erde attract more customers for him. This is Wang Erde's additional value … and we can help him with some small things that he doesn't want to do."
"Since he's arranged for us to meet directly, there's a high probability that Wang Erde's value to Boss Lin has been realized. Boss Lin doesn't need this guy anymore. The grudge between us can be settled."
"All of this must be Boss Lin's step-by-step arrangement."
Even after cleaning up the mess and bringing Francis and the others back to the Miyirt Tower, Ke Laode's mind was still echoing with Yue Sefu's confident words.
Choose one of the two Annihilation Grades, Yue Sefu and Wang Erde, and promote them to God Grades …
Although he had always vaguely known that the kind bookstore owner called Lin Jie was terrifyingly powerful, hearing Yue Sefu's words still had a lot of weight and impact.
Like a heavy hammer hitting his heart, Ke Laode's heart was shaken.
He was very familiar with the format of these words … any knight who graduated from the cultivation department of the Miyirt Tower would be familiar with it.
Through an elimination system, suitable candidates were selected from dozens or even dozens of knight apprentices, and then they were trained to become elites. The people at the top of the pyramid were almost destined to become glorious grand knights.
Yue Sefu was like that, and so was Ke Laode. Remember the URL: m.9biquge.com.
Boss Lin treated Joseph and Wilde with the same attitude. He said that he would cultivate the god level, and he would cultivate them as if they were cabbages.
Ke Laode's complex emotions could no longer be described with words.
To be honest, he had interacted with Lin Jie more often than Yue Sefu. The bookstore owner who often chatted with him was like a close friend. Sometimes, he really felt that he was just an ordinary person.
But Yue Sefu's words suddenly made this ordinary person seem very distant and vague.
"It's probably because I don't know enough about Boss Lin's strength …"
According to his teacher, the battle between the Church of the Dome and the False God was extremely dangerous. Fortunately, Boss Lin saved the day.
Coupled with the miraculous incident where the battle ended peacefully in just five minutes, people couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.
However, the Mystic Rites Tower later sealed off all information about the specific process and didn't reveal anything.
Ke Laode's authority was not enough to access it, so he had never been able to directly feel Boss Lin's power.
However, his teacher must have felt it before, so his guess was definitely correct.
Ke Laode shook his head and looked at Francis and the others who were handcuffed to the chairs in front of him.
Although they had already been treated, because these people were confirmed to have acted without permission, the treatment only reached the level of "saving their lives", and the treatment did not reach the level of "seriously injured".
At this moment, they were still chained to the chairs in a very awkward position. Their expressions were very painful as they groaned in a low voice. Their eyes were filled with fear, and their bodies were trembling.
It seemed that his psychological defenses had already collapsed before he could interrogate him.
This was the Intelligence Department's confinement room, a place specially used to interrogate criminals.
Although Francis and the others had never been here before, they had heard of the terrifying rumors of the confinement room.
Once inside, all the moral principles of the Mystic Rites Tower's knights would temporarily disappear.
It didn't matter if you were someone who had committed a crime internally or someone who had committed a crime externally, you were no longer a human being here.
"No, no … I, I have never done anything to betray the Mystic Rites Tower. I am loyal to the Mystic Rites Tower. This was a complete accident … I didn't know, I really didn't know Wang Erde would be there. If I had known, I, I, I … I wouldn't have dared to do it even if I had a hundred guts!"
Francis wailed as he defended himself, the word "fear" was written all over his face.
He was so scared that he almost peed his pants. Never in his wildest dreams would he have thought that he would be here one day.
He had thought that this was just an easy mission to seal up an ordinary bookstore … as easy and comfortable as an outing.
However, he hadn't expected a Tyrannosaurus Rex to walk out of the bookstore.
The outing had turned into the set of Jurassic Park. It was very tragic.
He wasn't stupid. From the scale of the Mystic Rites Tower's deployment, he immediately guessed that he had made a big mistake this time, bumping into the encirclement of Wang Erde. Fortunately, he had alerted the other party, causing the operation to fail.
But, but this was a complete accident!
Even if he had acted without authorization and abused his power to seal up the bookstore, he still hadn't done anything. At most, they would be considered to be wandering around outside … It wasn't a crime at all.
How did he end up in the confinement room?!
Francis, who couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he racked his brains, gritted his teeth. There was no secret that could be kept in the confinement room. Even if he didn't say anything, he would definitely be questioned later. He might as well take the initiative to confess.
At this point, who cared about the higher-ups … Francis's face turned even paler. The fact that they were in the confinement room meant that the Yue Rites Tower didn't care about the current Glorious Grand Knight, Osvader, who was also Todd's grandfather.
Was Sir Osvader going to be punished as well …?
But regardless of whether Osvader was fine or not, something must have happened to him!
Francis broke out in cold sweat. He might as well reveal everything about Todd's order to seal up the bookstore, as well as what Todd had done to Melissa. He hoped that he could walk out of the confinement room in one piece.
Unexpectedly, Ke Laode's face turned even uglier after hearing everything.
He originally thought that it was just a coincidence, but he didn't expect it to be intentional?! Not only did they interrupt their operation, but they were also targeting the bookstore from the beginning?!
Ignoring their cries and howls, he turned and walked out of the confinement room. He ordered his subordinates to give these fellows a harsh punishment. They would be locked up in the darkness for three days without eating or drinking. After that, they would most likely revert back to being knight apprentices or become peripheral personnel.
Ke Laode immediately saw Yue Rites Tower walking over from not far away. Behind him was Melissa, who looked uneasy and guilty.
There were indeed traces of battle on the girl's body, but she wasn't injured. This made Ke Laode subconsciously heave a sigh of relief.
"Teacher!"
Claude went up to him and told him what had happened.
Yue Rites Tower waved his hand and said in annoyance: "What can happen to her? She knocked someone unconscious, and I have to settle it."
Melissa snorted: "They were the ones who made the first move!"
"That's enough, a father knows his daughter best, how would they dare to make the first move against you?"
"They said that you are a liar who only knows how to hide behind and take advantage of others!"
"… …"
Yue Rites Tower was silent for a while, then sighed: "Then what about the matter of you using your authority without permission, and leaking secrets to unrelated personnel?"
Melissa immediately lost her confidence: "That was my fault … …"
"The higher-ups will help you settle this matter, but you also have to complete a secret mission."
"Oh … …"
Yue Rites Tower extended his hand and patted Melissa's head. He suddenly thought about how his daughter was the one who suffered the most when he was degenerating, and muttered: "From today onwards, no one will say that anymore."
Boss Lin was right, he needed to improve himself to be able to protect his family.
Let's start with Osvid … …

After Lin Jie sent off Wang Erde and the rest, he felt that there would not be any more guests coming, so he entered a state of meditation and planned to continue researching spells and swordsmanship in the dream world.
He left the basic dream world and stood in the void, surrounded by endless darkness and a dream world that shone like stars.
Under normal circumstances, he would practice his spells and swordsmanship here.
The basic dream world was his old house, used for research, and the dream world of the Dome Church's central church was temporary and very unstable. After descending into reality once, it collapsed, and the excess ether was used by him to practice his spells.
Furthermore, he could occasionally look at other people's dreams here.
Today, Lin Jie planned to 'look' for interesting dreams after he finished his practice as usual.
But when he inadvertently passed by a green dream world, he saw a familiar figure.
A beautiful elf with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing an elegant white dress, barged into a bookstore on a rainy night.
"Doris?"
