Edland City in the evening swiftly returned to its usual bustle after the rush hour.
Of course, it wasn't because of the unscrupulous night.
It was something closer to life.
A few housewives carrying handbags in front of the Wanta Bakery hung a 'half-price' sign on the window of the bakery and immediately pushed the door open to enter.
A few minutes later, each of them returned with a full load.
It was a secret that only the people who lived in the area knew about.
Every Friday evening, Kutar Bakery would sell the leftover bread from that day and a few days ago at half price.
The leftover bread from that day was the first choice of the housewives.
The leftover bread from a few days ago was also acceptable.
Under the premise that the food didn't spoil, spending less money was what the housewives had to consider.
After all, the money they saved would be enough to buy another half sausage and three to four eggs. Along with some vegetable soup, it would be a scrumptious meal.
The people who lived in the area entered Kutar Bakery one after another.
Soon enough, the half-price bread was sold out.
All that was left were some crumbs and croissants left in the basket.
The owner of the bakery started to tidy up the crumbs. He placed all the croissants and crumbs into a basket and marked it with a '3 ¥' number.
It was also Kutar Bakery's usual practice.
Some people didn't mind spending 3 ¥in exchange for a basket of bread.
Even if it wasn't complete.
Tonight was no exception.
Just as the owner of the bakery was halfway through cleaning the shop, a customer walked in.
He wasn't a housewife from the area.
But he wasn't a stranger either.
Although the customer was wearing a long collar trench coat and wore a mask and glasses that always covered his face, the owner of the bakery still welcomed him with a smile.
"Good evening, this is all that's left, is it okay?"
The owner asked.
Then, before the customer could answer, the owner started to stuff the bread into a paper bag.
He knew very well what the other party wanted.
No answer.
Two crumpled notes were placed on the counter. After the bakery owner checked the notes, he passed the paper bag filled with bread crumbs to Kieran and left some polite words as usual.
"Welcome back next time!"
No answer either.
The silent customer hugged the paper bag and left Kutar Bakery.
However, after walking for about four to five meters, the customer stopped abruptly.
He saw a few people standing across the street.
The long cultivator robes and the Dandon emblem on their chests were enough to tell where these people came from.
Without thinking, the customer turned around and changed his direction.
However, the Dandon Church's friars had also appeared in that direction.
It was the same in another direction.
The Dandon friars were slowly closing in on them.
The silent customer quickly backed off.
The man entered the Kuttah Bakery again.
And the moment the other party entered …
Boom!
There was an explosion.
With a loud explosion, the Kutar Bakery was sent flying into the sky.
But strangely, there was no smoke or flames.
There was only white flour and some crystal powder that emitted white light.
"Ah! Ahhhhhh! "
It was a painful roar, like the roar of a wild beast.
A figure covered in flour and crystal powder rolled on the ground as if he had been soaked in concentrated sulfuric acid!
"Dandong with overflowing battle intent!"
"Use your sword to destroy the evil before you!"
Amidst the deep chanting, the Dandong cultivators surrounded the figure that was rolling on the ground and splashed bottle after bottle of holy water on him.
Chi chi chi!
White smoke rose from his body.
The figure, which was rolling around intensely, soon stopped moving.
"No evil can exist in this world under His Majesty Dandon's gaze!"
Amidst the sonorous voice, the white-haired Dandon priest walked over from the end of the street.
From the beginning to the end, the officiant's gaze was fixed on Kieran, who was walking side by side with him.
Obviously, these words were meant for Kieran.
"We can't be careless at any time!"
Kieran replied.
It wasn't a rebuttal, nor was it rude.
Coupled with the humble expression that appeared on Kieran's face when he spoke, even the officiant before him could not find any fault with it. The two nuns and the middle-aged priest nodded continuously.
However, the officiant thought that Kieran should be more obedient.
Not just to Dandon, but to himself as well.
One needed to know, he was Dandon's most loyal servant, he should be treated with such respect. Not everyone could walk side by side with him!
"He's the Winchester House bomber?"
The murderer of the Graven trio from Yuda State University? "
The officiant continued to ask.
"Yes."
Kieran nodded.
"How did you confirm it?
"Although he is indeed evil, what is your proof?"
The white-haired officiant continued to ask.
His question stunned the two nuns and the middle-aged priest.
Especially Sister Liz Dandon, who was frowning.
"Sir Officiant, what are you doing?"
Liz Dandon's tone sounded stern.
"I just want to know the truth of the matter!"
The officiant replied.
However, everyone could feel the insincerity in the officiant's words.
When they recalled the officiant's arrogant behavior, the remaining three Dandon high-ranking clergymen frowned one after another. If it wasn't for the fact that he was the only one who could activate the altar, how could he become a high-ranking clergyman of the church with his personality?
"My proof?
A person who spent so much time and effort to build his own organization, why would he give up just like that?
And a bunch of books that no one would believe, records of myths and legends, yet someone was willing to kill to keep the secret, why would he do that? "
Kieran didn't answer directly.
After using Anne Aldrich Augen to investigate the current Dandon Church, Kieran knew who he had to pay attention to.
He spent quite a lot of time researching the officiant of Dandon.
Not just about the officiant's life but also his personality.
So, he knew how to answer in order to make the officiant believe him.
He didn't want to explain himself to the officiant but let the officiant search for the answer himself.
Kieran saw the change of expression on the officiant's face.
Kieran added at the perfect timing.
"The Winchester House explosion case … is it really as simple as it looks?
"Just for some museum collections?"
"Is it possible that it's something even more precious and rare?"
As Kieran spoke, he glanced over the officiant of Dandon who was in deep thoughts and was in shock.
Not only the officiant, the other two nuns and the middle-aged priest were also looking at the curled up figure on the floor in shock.
"Other than this explanation, I can't think of any other reason why you would do this … Professor Harodet!"
Kieran looked at the man on the ground, who looked like he was dead.
Of course, the man wasn't dead.
Although the man didn't seem to be breathing, no one knew better than Kieran how magical the heart was.
If it was really the heart, plus some hidden aces up his sleeves, the scene where the man was knocked down so cleanly was just an intentional act.
As for why?
