A new master?
A new master!
Then the original master …
Hermair, who fell on the floor, wanted to trace the person before him with his fingerprints but the body further away and the priest robe on the body told him what to do.
However, someone else was faster than him.
"Morton, welcome the new master."
"I am willing to offer my loyalty, my wealth, and everything I know."
"All for the master's arrival."
Following the gunshot, Morton, who had been neglected all this while, dashed up to the leader of the group, prostrated on the floor and said respectfully.
Those who were scolding Morton a moment ago also learned from Morton and prostrated on the floor.
"We are willing to welcome the master's arrival."
They shouted at the top of their lungs.
They weren't ashamed or embarrassed at all.
Or rather, they had learned to abandon shame.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have appeared here.
Hayden Ow knew it very well.
He hated these people during normal days but now, he really needed them to help him stabilize the situation in Forest City.
"I'll leave the people here to you."
"I hope you can keep Forest City in its original state before His Majesty the Bird of Death arrives."
"Remember!"
"Every blade of grass and every tree here belongs to His Majesty."
"No one is allowed to damage or take anything away from this place."
"Understand?"
Hayden Ow emphasized loudly to Morton.
Morton jolted.
Then, he was overjoyed.
"Understood!"
Moreton lowered his head again and pressed his forehead against the floor of the antechamber as he spoke loudly.
"Mm."
Hayden Ow nodded in satisfaction.
Then, he waved his hand.
Immediately, a group of people who came with him stood guard around the temple.
The rest of them followed behind Hayden Ao and rushed into the temple.
Looking at Hayden Ow's departing figure, Morton got up from the ground, turned around, and looked at Hermair with a slightly ferocious gaze.
"What are you doing?"
"I'm telling you, I … Aaaargh!"
Looking at Morton in front of him, Hermair had a bad premonition in his heart. He shouted at Morton, hoping to stop the other party.
Unfortunately, the moment the words escaped his mouth, Morton landed a kick on Hermair's face.
The people around them turned a blind eye to this.
They had long forgotten that they shared a common enemy.
One of them even picked up Hermia's gentleman's wand and passed it to Morton.
Without any hesitation, Morton picked up the gentleman's cane and smashed it down on Hermair's face.
…
Hayden Ow heard every single one of the punches and begging for mercy.
But Hayden Ow couldn't care less at the moment.
After receiving Lotus' order, he had already acted as fast as he could, but the priest who just ran out of the temple told him that he was still too slow.
When he thought of the conditions that His Majesty had laid out, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Hayden Ow's heart was burning with anxiety.
No one understood the greed of the higher-ups of Forest City better than the branch manager of the Funeral Society.
They would never leave empty-handed.
They would definitely empty the treasury of the God of Forest City.
"I hope I can make it in time!"
With a prayer in his heart, Hayden Ow rushed through the corridor of the temple and was about to enter the real hall.
But before he even stepped into the hall, the branch manager of Funeral Society halted his steps abruptly.
The smell of blood!
The heavy smell of blood!
Hayden Ow picked up the heavy smell of blood.
Without Hayden Ow's order, the Funeral Society members behind him formed a battle formation in pairs of two. When one of the buff members kicked the door open, more than 20 guns were pointed at the direction behind the door.
However, the scene that followed shocked everyone.
Bodies were everywhere and blood gushed out like a fountain.
This was something that had long been expected.
But the one who killed was unexpected.
Blood dyed the priest's light colored robe, the sword in his hand was blunt after hundreds and thousands of slashes but his body was still standing straight in front of the statue of the God of Forest City.
Behind him was a small door that led deeper into the temple.
What was behind the small door?
It was self-explanatory.
Unfortunately, none of them could step past the sword wielder.
The closest one fell to the ground three steps away from the sword-wielder.
Hayden Ow looked at the sword wielder in shock, he unconsciously called out the name of the sword wielder.
"Neil?!"
There was no one in Lin City who wasn't familiar with this person.
As a matter of fact, as the archpriest of the God of Forest City, he was a well-known figure in Forest City.
However …
Hayden Ow never thought that the man would kill with a sword.
In other words, anyone who had seen Neil before wouldn't think that he would kill anyone, especially at this moment!
First of all, his opponent was thin and weak, and was not skilled in sword techniques at all.
Secondly, the other party had always displayed the image of a vile person who flattered and fawned over him. He had never displayed any bravery.
Lastly, and most importantly, based on Hayden Ow's impression, if the God of Forest City died, the first to betray him should be the God of Forest City.
But the reality was that they were guarding the treasury of the God of Forest City, not allowing anyone to enter.
Even if it was …
Die!
That's right, the other party was dead!
Hayden Ow was sure of it.
Although he was still standing, he was no longer breathing.
Even in death, he glared angrily at the God in front of him, as if he wanted to protect him even in death.
"Nell, you …"
Hayden O 'Neill wanted to say something.
But in the end, he didn't say anything.
"Give him a proper burial!"
Hayden O said to his men.
Even though Hayden Ow usually looked down on Kieran, Kieran had won Hayden Ow's respect this time.
Even though they were on different sides!
A couple of Funeral Society members came to Neil's side and carefully tried to remove the sword from his hand but they realized Neil's hand seemed to be stuck to the sword, they couldn't remove it at all.
On top of that, Nell's body was stiff as well.
In the end, they laid Nell's body on the ground.
Looking at the body on the ground, the others couldn't help but show respect in their eyes.
They could imagine how intense the battle must have been for Nell to cause such changes to his body.
Two of the club members carried Neil's body to the side.
More members started to deal with the rest of the bodies.
The Funeral Society members weren't that kind to the rest of the bodies.
After checking twice and finding nothing, they threw the bodies onto the altar outside the temple.
The altar was the place for the priests to please the God of Forest City.
Now, they themselves became the materials.
Buckets of gasoline were poured into the altar and a match flew out from Hayden Ow's hand.
Fuuu!
The blazing fire rose high and black smoke was coming out.
The thick black smoke was visible to the whole of Forest City.
Somewhere in the alleyway of Forest City, a figure saw the rumbling black smoke and couldn't help but laugh softly.
