In the wealthy district of Naveya City, inside an independent building with a garden, a group of people were hiding in the shadows.
The building was the home of a wealthy merchant.
The wealthy merchant was well known by the people because he donated a huge amount of contribution to Wealth Temple.
Everyone thought that he was a devout believer.
However, at that moment, inside the study room of his house, the wealthy merchant was standing in front of the crowd with a heavy expression.
Especially when he removed his disguise and looked at the injured people, the rich merchant's expression became even more serious.
Unconsciously, the wealthy merchant looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd.
Similar to the others around him, the middle-aged man's arm was also wrapped in bandages. His face looked normal but his eyes were extremely sharp, like a knife.
It was because of his sharp eyes that the middle-aged man looked extraordinary. Even though he was injured, he still had a presence that others couldn't neglect.
In fact, as the leader of Oak Hand, the middle-aged man had strength that matched his presence.
Otherwise, Oak Hand wouldn't have become the longest standing gang in Naveya.
And it was precisely because of this experience that the middle-aged man had gained extraordinary prestige.
Following the wealthy merchant's gaze, everyone else looked at the middle-aged man as well, obviously waiting for his orders.
"Activate 'that'."
The middle-aged man said under everyone's gaze.
'That'?
Those who didn't know the inside story were confused.
Those who knew the inside story were shocked.
Especially the wealthy merchant.
As the person in charge of 'that', he knew what 'that' would bring.
Or more precisely, what price they would pay for it.
"Leader, are we really going to do this?"
The wealthy merchant asked with hesitation and reluctance.
"We have to do this!"
Those bastards from Emerald Rock will not let go of this chance, they will surely launch an all-out attack on us.
Only 'that' can help us survive this crisis! "
The middle-aged man took in a deep breath, his face also showing reluctance.
However, his words were loud and clear.
Although he would have to pay with his years of savings, it was better than losing his life, right?
"Understood!"
The wealthy merchant nodded and left the room.
10 minutes later, a wagon appeared in front of the building.
The merchant and all the servants bowed to welcome the carriage.
The carriage had two wheels, and the horse that was pulling it was also an old horse. The coachman wore ordinary clothes that were even patched up, but no one dared to underestimate this carriage.
Because there was the emblem of the Church on the carriage.
The emblem of the Temple of Wealth was a palm-sized shining gold coin.
Similarly, on the sleeves and chest of the old priest, there was the same emblem.
Compared to the ordinary priest robes, this emblem shone brightly under the sunlight.
"Priest Schmocker, thank you for coming."
As the merchant spoke, he passed a bag of money to the priest.
The priest took the money pouch with a smile.
"Lady Carricanton will send you her blessings."
After saying that, the priest patted the merchant's shoulder. Immediately, the merchant revealed a flattered expression and respectfully welcomed the priest inside.
Anyone who saw such a scene would be shocked.
But this was the only place that was different.
Not only the servants around, even the onlookers showed a knowing smile when they saw the scene.
Among the 25 temples in Naveya, which temple was the most approachable, it was definitely not the Mercy Temple but the Wealth Temple.
Because in the Temple of Wealth, money represented the only thing.
Regardless of sins or not, as long as one paid a certain amount of money, one could get an atonement scroll or a chance to be pardoned.
As for the lack of money?
Take a left turn outside the door and enter Mercy Temple, where one could talk about atonement and be pardoned by whipping.
Therefore, Wealth Temple was welcomed by the rich.
It squeezed out Thorn Temple and became one of the four major temples under Thunder Temple.
Therefore, it was necessary to show respect to him.
The injured middle-aged man was already in the hall, welcoming Priest Schmocker.
"It's an honor to meet you, Priest Schmocker.
My wounds feel a lot better in front of you. "
The middle-aged man bowed and said in a flattering tone.
"That is also the glory of Lady Carricanton, I am just her messenger. Whatever you want to do, you better pray to the Goddess."
Priest Schmocker's words had hidden meanings, his slightly aged face had the cunningness left behind by time.
He knew who Priest Schmocker was and what he did.
He also knew what Priest Schmocker was trying to do.
But he didn't care.
As long as Priest Schmocker was willing to pay a huge sum of money to make Lady Wealth happy, it would be enough.
Wasn't it what a devoted believer like him should be doing?
As for the others?
What did it have to do with him?
It was a prayer to the Lady of Wealth!
How could a mere mortal interfere?
The middle-aged man understood right away.
Right away, the leader of Oak Hand knelt down on one knee and said, "The honorable Lady Carricanton, the revered Lady of Wealth, please hear my prayers!
I am willing to use these gold coins to gain your protection! "
Following the words of the middle-aged man.
A box filled with gold coins was carried out by two men.
Then, the gold coins in the box disappeared with exponential speed visible to the naked eye.
It felt like an invisible hand was grabbing the gold coins and putting them into an invisible bag.
Soon, the gold coins in the box were emptied out.
Then, two boxes of gold coins were carried out.
"My sins, I am willing to use more gold coins to wash them away!"
The middle-aged man said.
This time, when the two boxes of gold coins appeared, they flew up in the air and all the gold coins poured down.
However, not a single one fell to the ground.
In midair, the gold coins disappeared.
At the same time, a faint golden glow appeared on the middle-aged man's body.
The moment the golden glow appeared, Priest Schmocker started to pray softly.
It was a little bit of attention from Lady Carricanton.
Only by sacrificing a large amount of gold coins, at least 10,000, would it have such an effect.
"Lady Carricanton is watching you.
She will bless you. "
Priest Schmocker said softly after his prayers.
"Thank the Goddess for her generosity."
The middle-aged man replied respectfully.
Then, another bag of gold coins fell into the priest's hand.
Compared to the one at the entrance, this one was bigger and bulkier.
Priest Schmocker and the middle-aged man smiled at each other after putting the bag into their sleeves.
However, their smiles froze right away.
"I've always wondered how Oak Hand could be so daring!"
So he is colluding with Wealth Temple? "
A voice suddenly entered the hall.
Then …
KABOOM!
The door of the building flew up into the sky.
A figure walked in with big strides.
Everyone in the hall widened their eyes when they saw the approaching figure.
Even under the sun, the figure was faintly discernible, as if it was transparent.
The more terrifying thing was, following the appearance of the figure, the killer aura that covered the sky and earth crashed down like a tidal wave, causing everyone in the hall to tremble.
They heard the wails of life fading away from their ears.
They saw souls struggling one after another before their eyes.
Their noses picked up the heavy stench of blood.
A killer!
No, not just a simple killer!
He was an executioner, a butcher that slaughtered countless lives!
In Naveya City, there was only one person that fit the description of the person before their eyes.
It was the mysterious King of Assassins who had never revealed his true face!
