It was obviously just a very casual question, but it made Victor break out in a cold sweat.
‘What are you doing?! First you asked me my name, and then my affiliation. Now, are you asking me to get out of the Holy See?’
Victor regretted telling his real name, now he's telling a fake one?
He opened his mouth and looked at Yae Ji. When he thought about the relationship between the noble man and this person behind him, all the strength in Victor's body seemed to be drained.
"Sir, my lord, I manage the small church at the end of this street, which is under the jurisdiction of the priest..."
"The department managed by Ishak."
Victor, who lowered his head, twitched the corners of his eyes and said bravely: "Master Isaac has returned to his hometown to retire."
"Really?" Yaeji thought to himself, 'It seems that a high priest doesn't have the guts to shoulder this blame.'
“Who’s in charge now?”
Victor: "Yes, it's O... it's His Highness Apokalis."
"Okay, I'll tell him personally about this when the time comes." Yaeji glanced sideways at the panicked mother and daughter.
"Yes! Sir!" Victor swallowed, and a flattering smile appeared on his face with a mustache, "Um, sir, you are new to Haicang, do you need someone to guide you?"
Of course Yaeji knew what this man was thinking. Victor didn't want to climb up his big tree, but wanted to escape quickly.
"Go and do your business."
"Yes! Okay! My lord, please take your time with Miss Kaslana. If anything happens, just send someone to the church at the end to call me!"
Victor tried his best to remain humble without appearing too nervous.
When he saw Yae Ji nodding, he felt as if he was being pardoned, smiled at Brandy and the others, and then left quickly.
People around him gathered together, some watching from afar, and some who had left long ago for fear of getting into trouble.
They were in awe and curious about Yaeji's identity, but they might as well classify Yaeji as the same type of person as Priest Victor.
Exploiting and being exploited are not the same class.
Seeing Yaeji looking towards them, the people who were still watching suddenly dispersed. Only a few sturdy young people were still watching, fearing that they would hurt the mother and daughter of the flower shop.
Brandy's eyes focused on those young people. Their battle-hardened aura put a heavy pressure on the young people, as if they couldn't breathe.
Yaeji patted Brandi, and Brandi calmed down.
In Brandy's view, this is not unnecessary. Even though the security in France is relatively good compared to other parts of Europe, as a personal guard of the Governor, she has still encountered dozens of assassinations, large and small.
Events include killers, nobles, people disguised as civilians, maids, etc.
Brandi thinks they are ridiculous. Even if they defeat them, what's the use of these personal guards? The adults can crush them into ashes with one finger.
In Brandi's view, although adults do not need their protection, professionalism must still be maintained, and preventing adults from being harassed is one of them.
Who knows if there is a killer disguised among these young people.
Brandi and another guard secretly protected Yaeji and Kallen.
Karen, after seeing Victor leave, quickly went to help the flower shop mother and daughter who fell to the ground.
"Are you okay? Don't worry, he's gone..."
The woman did not dare to look at Kallen, let alone Yaeji. There was still a sad look on her face, and there was deep fear in her eyes.
"Sorry, we are closed today."
After saying that, he picked up the girl who was only four or five years old and walked to the store.
The girl rested her little head on her mother's shoulder, blinked her tears, smiled, and whispered: "Thank you, thank you sister!"
After saying that, the woman quickly covered the child's mouth and quickly walked into the flower shop, with the door tightly closed.
They had no one to rely on. If people in the street knew that they were grateful to the priests, God knows what rumors would spread.
Kallen looked at the closed door of the flower shop, anger rising in her blue eyes.
"How could such a ridiculous thing happen! Sins are imposed on innocent people, but those who really deserve to be punished..."
"Karen!" Yae Ji stood beside the girl at some point and said gently: "You don't know anything and you jump to conclusions. How are you different from those priests who forcefully sell indulgences?"
Kallen was stunned for a moment and looked at her fiancé beside her. There was a sense of bewilderment in her eyes, and she drifted between the flower shop and Yae Ji.
"Aji, are you saying that the flower shop owner's husband is really guilty?"
"I didn't say it." Yaeji shook his head, "It's just a possibility. If we don't know the truth of the matter, who knows? Her husband may be a heinous person, or he may have been framed, or maybe it's just Priest Victor who wants this.
The mother and daughter imposed some unfounded charges."
Yaeji looked at Kallen and said with a smile: "It's possible, right?"
Karen thought carefully for a while and finally nodded.
She really didn't understand the truth of the matter, but based on her first impression, she labeled Priest Victor as "evil" and "sin".
"Is Victor actually a good person?" Kallen wondered.
"How is that possible!" Yaeji sneered, "You can tell who he is just by looking at his actions. If you want to know the truth, are you willing to be a detective? My dear girl."
"good!"
Kallen clenched her two small fists and put them on her chest. Yae Ji glanced at her and just smiled.
suddenly.
"Hululu~"
A strange sound came, and Kallen subconsciously covered her abdomen. She looked up and found Ah Ji laughing, and suddenly felt her cheeks burning.
...
In fact, Yaeji doesn't want to play some time-consuming and laborious detective games with Kallen. What he needs to teach Kallen is how to use power.
The intelligence department in the Kaslana family is dozens of times better than the amateur combination of the two of them.
There is a certain order of learning, and there are specialties in the arts.
When it comes to killing enemies on the frontal battlefield, even the entire intelligence department of the Kaslana family cannot catch up with him. When it comes to intelligence detection...even if he is Dou Emperor, there is nothing he can do.
Arthur, an old acquaintance.
When he saw him again, Yaeji discovered that he had changed his career to become a "bird's mouth doctor".
It means going to areas with severe epidemics to distribute medicine, or carrying corpses and other tasks.
When Arthur, the former head of the Kaslana family's intelligence department, heard that the eldest lady wanted to use the information, he even looked at the sky, fearing that the sun would rise from the west today.
Full of doubts, I returned to my family, only to find that brat Yae Ji was giving me advice.
Arthur was relieved. He followed the previous patriarch of the Kaslana family, 'Francis', and was well-informed. He knew that if there was no support from Yae Ji behind this Eastern Expedition, the eldest lady might...
Letting the eldest lady get engaged to Yaeji, Arthur thought this was the most correct decision Kaslana had made in these years.
Those who wanted to marry into the Apokalis family had nothing to say.
Look at Ned, he is bald at a young age. Look at Otto, I heard that he has recently started to engage in adultery.
