Chapter 2202: Chapter 2201: Confession
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "What are the chances of Martin being at that place?"
"That’s where he grew up. If he is hiding from sothing, he will definitely be there. But if he’s gone on vacation or to the Pantheon Hall, then he won’t be found." Ah Min said.
"Alright, let’s go and check it out first!"
Ling Feng nodded and then said, "If we still can’t find him, let’s leave and head to the Pantheon Hall to find that statue!"
"Boss, do you already have a plan?" Ah Min quickly asked.
"No, but there’s always a way out when we reach the mountain! Alright, enough talking!"
Ling Feng hung up the phone, turned to Shinozuka Haruko and said, "We have to go!"
"Alright!"
Shinozuka Haruko nodded, and the two of them left Martin’s apartnt and arrived at the street.
In broad daylight, they couldn’t summon the Ghost Dragon, so they strolled through the streets, taking in the city’s landscape. Once they were out of the city and far away, Ling Feng summoned the Ghost Dragon.
Ascending into the sky, they headed north according to the coordinates to the farm.
The journey was silent; Ling Feng and Shinozuka Haruko arrived at the destination at noon, landing directly on the ground.
This was a very secluded place, located at the foot of an unknown mountain range, with almost no towns around.
Ahead, not far away, were a few white buildings. The barn from the photo was apparent, its appearance almost unchanged.
Ling Feng scanned with his Divine Sense, then smiled at Shinozuka Haruko, "Fortunately, we didn’t co in vain this ti!"
Knowing what he ant, Shinozuka Haruko nodded and said, "Since Martin is here, that makes it easy!"
"Hmm, let’s go!"
Ling Feng nodded, took her hand, and the two headed straight for those buildings.
Before they got close, several large mastiff dogs suddenly charged at them, their canine teeth bared, emitting threatening growls.
Upon seeing this, Ling Feng smiled and shouted at the mastiffs, "Scram!"
Under the imnse pressure, the mastiffs imdiately halted, then turned tail and fled.
Within his Divine Sense, Martin on the second floor saw this scene through the window, imdiately turned around in panic, looked around, then ran to the table, opened the drawer, and pulled out a revolver.
Ling Feng shook his head speechlessly when he saw this.
Using that thing for protection, he actually thought of it!
When they got to the building, Ling Feng and Shinozuka Haruko leapt, landing directly on the second-floor balcony, and then entered the room.
"Who are you!"
Martin Preece’s eyes showed terror as he held the gun, his hands trembling, and said.
"You don’t know ? Rare indeed!"
Ling Feng chuckled, pulled Shinozuka Haruko to sit down, looked at him and continued, "My na is Ling Feng, put down that piece of junk in your hand; it’s useless against !"
"Ling, Ling Feng?"
Martin’s eyes suddenly widened, and his face showed a look of fear.
"So scared, that ans you have a guilty conscience!"
Ling Feng smiled and calmly continued, "Given that, do you want to confess on your own, or should I use so punishnt to make you say what I need to know?"
Martin swallowed, the gun still pointed at him, then cautiously asked, "What do you want to know?"
"The statue, Odin’s statue!"
Ling Feng squinted his eyes, a flash of killing intent in his eyes, "Don’t waste my ti!"
Just this one look made Martin feel a heat between his legs!
And he happened to be wearing white pants!
Seeing that, Shinozuka Haruko imdiately frowned slightly and then turned her head, not wanting to look at him anymore.
Ling Feng also felt a bit disdainful of this person, not expecting him to be this timid!
But it’s good this way, saves using the Mind Soul Art.
Sure enough, after being glared at by Ling Feng, Martin imdiately said, "That statue wasn’t given by . They ca to , insisting on taking it away!"
"Tell
in detail, who carved that statue, what’s its purpose, how did the Pantheon Hall explain to you, tell
everything slowly!" Ling Feng said coldly.
Martin swallowed, the gun still pointed at Ling Feng, but it had already lost its aning as a defense to him, rely an ornant.
However, due to tension, he forgot about the handgun, still keeping it pointed at Ling Feng, while obediently saying, "That, that statue was passed down from my ancestors...."
This scene was quite amusing, Ling Feng couldn’t help but want to laugh inwardly, but his face remained cold, squinting his eyes as he looked at the other party.
After a detailed recounting, he understood the general course of events.
Two hundred years ago, that piece of Divine Tree was brought to Europe, and after several decades, it ended up in the hands of the Plis Family.
The family leader at the ti was nad Lawrence, a fervent religious enthusiast, also obsessively interested in European mythology.
Upon seeing the Divine Tree, it’s said that Odin’s figure appeared in his mind, so he decided to carve the wood into a statue of him.
No one knows where Lawrence mastered the thod of carving Divine Wood, but after spending three years, he finally succeeded.
The Odin statue was completed and kept in the Plis Family’s secret room. Despite undergoing several wars and regi changes since then, the statue was handed down like a family heirloom.
By Martin’s generation, the Plis Family had declined, almost without assets, left with just this remote farm.
Martin didn’t know why the Pantheon Hall sought him out; he was originally a believer. Upon learning of the Pantheon Hall’s ergence, even The Holy See had pledged allegiance, and Martin imdiately applied to beco a Pantheon Hall believer.
Imdiately after applying, people from the Pantheon Hall ca to him, directly asking about the statue’s whereabouts.
At that ti, Martin was sowhat confused by the question, so he didn’t answer directly. Then, the Pantheon Hall people promised him great benefits and a status far above other believers’!
Faced with such temptation, Martin decided to donate the statue to the Pantheon Hall.
So very quickly, he brought those people to the farm and took the statue away.
That’s pretty much the whole story, basically as Ling Feng had suspected.
After confessing, Martin looked at Ling Feng and cautiously asked, "You ca looking for , just for this?"
"Yes!"
Ling Feng nodded and then asked, "Why didn’t you do your regular work and instead took leave to co to the farm? Are you avoiding sothing?"
"Y-yes..."
Martin nodded, "The Pantheon Hall people told
to stay low-profile for now, lest the statue matter gets leaked, it wouldn’t be safe for !"
Ling Feng squinted his eyes upon hearing that, "This Pantheon Hall is really cautious, thinking things through this thoroughly!"
Then he looked at Martin, "Since your believer level is relatively high, does that an you have the chance to enter the Pantheon Hall?"
