Glancing at the address Rose Vesper had given, Kain committed it to mory.
Seven days was not only the ti Rose Vesper had allotted for preparation, but also a test for people like Kain. During this period, the Heresy Court’s informants would be closely monitoring them. Any slight irregularities, and Rose Vesper would disperse the evidence she held.
Seven days was neither long nor short.
Kain had stayed in his room honestly, going nowhere.
He had thought about seeking Augustus’s help, but eventually gave up. The maids in the house, the nuns moving outside the room, the priests in the Holy Hall; who knew how many were spies for the Heresy Court?
How many True Eyes had been left around him?
If the act of seeking help from Augustus were to be exposed, then the fate of Vice Captain Kant would be his future.
After seven days, Kain left the Holy Court to go to the predetermined location. However, upon arrival, he found the hotel room empty with only a slip of paper indicating the next location. After several transfers, he had reached the edge of the Imperial City.
This place turned out to be the forr site of the Earth Mother Goddess Sect. The original church had been razed, and the Earth Mother Goddess Sect had not arranged for anyone to rebuild.
When Kain arrived, he was surprised to find quite a number of people already there. His gaze swept around, and his pupils slightly contracted; they were indeed so familiar faces.
Of the nine archbishops of the Holy Court, including himself, three had co; of the seven vice-captains of the Holy Knight Order, two had co.
Of the thirty-six bishops staying in the Imperial City, seventeen had co.
It seed that these individuals had all been threatened by the despicable tactics Rose Vesper employed. Who would have thought that the seemingly innocent and Holy Daughter, once revealed, could be so dark?
Kain’s arrival did not stir much commotion; so pretended not to see him, while others looked slightly embarrassed.
Ti passed, and with the sound of footsteps, Douglas and Rose Vesper finally appeared.
So could hardly resist the urge to strike; if so many masters rushed forward, even the powerful Douglas and Rose Vesper would not stand a chance.
But they quickly restrained themselves.
If these two dared to show up here, they must have prepared so many fail-safes in secret.
Fearing that the mont they made a move, their dirty laundry would spread throughout the Imperial City, becoming common knowledge.
Douglas completely ignored the hateful looks and walked straight into the center of the crowd, sweeping his gaze over everyone: "Ladies and gentlen..."
"Welco to this place, our first gathering."
"I am sorry to have chosen such a desolate location and cannot properly host you all," Douglas bowed, apologizing for the poor reception. "But, there was no choice, I didn’t want our eting to be known by Augustus."
Gulp...
Indeed, he was targeting the position of the Pope.
Although many had already guessed it, it was still a shock to confirm.
"Before the official eting starts, there is sothing I need to announce."
Excitent suddenly overtook Douglas’s face, his eyes brimming with fervent madness: "Ladies and gentlen, do you think Lady Losveis is rely the Holy Daughter of the Church?"
Nonsense, if not the Holy Daughter, what else could she be?
"No, you are wrong."
"Lady Losveis is not just the Holy Daughter, she is the Goddess."
Douglas spread his arms, his voice filled with mania:
"She is the daughter of a god!"
