The more they oppose, the more it shows that I am doing the right thing

"Gone," An Su replied, "by the way, I was bribed during my exam and recently earned two Scales of Order in the Church. Does dad need me to send one back to you?"

He figured that although the Scales of Order weren’t expensive to make, they weren’t circulated outside, so dad probably hadn’t seen such a rare item.

Since he had an extra one, sending it back home for dad to evaluate wouldn’t hurt.

"Calling you wasteful, and here you are making money for me,"

Count Karlo was so angry that he was beside himself.

"Who taught you to be so frugally filial, even thinking about sending it back home, utterly absurd! Can’t you be like normal children, bribing examiners straightforwardly and decently? How can I trust you after this!"

"Get lost." Count Karlo smashed the Magic Communication, and before An Su could even respond, the magic link was forcefully broken, leaving only the sound of a beep.

After ending An Su’s Magic Communication, Count Karlo leaned back in his Glazed Gold chair, massaging his temples, he sighed heavily; the tribune and the butlers seeing their master in this state knew that the young master had angered the old master again.

"My lord." The tribune cautiously observed Count Karlo’s expression, seeing it slightly soften, then boldly said, "The envoys from the Church Nation have been waiting for a while, shall we release the pack of Abyssal Evil Hounds from the pit to drive them away?"

The Abyssal Evil Hounds in the Chenxing family’s pit were creatures born from the depths after the complete shattering of the Nether World, existing on the same tier as the Void Moths born from the void,

Though called hounds, they were in fact the legendary Abyssal Demons, ranked fourth tier, their nature wicked and greedy, once they stray into reality, they devour all things, using all beings as their food, quite terrifying.

Latterly, because the Chenxing family’s food was the best, all medium or high-tier seafood Demon Beasts, they partnered to stay in the cages and didn’t leave, eating all of the Chenxing family’s leftovers every day, it was quite terrifying.

Whenever encountering unwelcome strangers, the butlers would direct the dogs to scare them away, it’s not that these Abyssal Demons were tamed by the Chenxing family, but rather they had territorial instincts, fearing that other species of demons might steal their food.

This was a secure meal ticket.

"Take the dogs back."

Count Karlo pondered for a moment, finally stood up, took a tailcoat from the butler’s hand, draped it over himself, fastening all the long buttons, and donned the Star Family Crest of the Moningsta family, "Prepare the banquet, I will meet those Esoteric Sect Followers."

"Right," Count Karlo slowly instructed the butler, "have them pack up the gifts too, they aren’t enough to cover my dogs’ food costs for the past dozen years."

"Very well, Your Excellency." The butler naturally went along smoothly. Explore hidden tales at novelbuddy

"At the banquet, give the Esoteric Sect Followers a dog bowl."

"...The dogs will have opinions," the butlers fell silent for a moment, then slowly said.

After hanging up the Magic Communication with dad, An Su looked out the window at the sky, seeing that the sudden downpour had also mostly stopped by now.

The originally rose-hued afterglow of the sunset, washed by the summer rain, now became gentle and clear, like a pink sheer scarf covered the evening sky, and Farol was peaceful in the evening breeze.

After dinner, An Su waited for a while then the Magic Communication suddenly came alive with Chaotic Elevator’s excited voice, who spoke in several bursts.

"Ladder Brother, you’re truly a god!"

"That old bone of Chenxing tentatively agreed to the Church Nation’s requests! Now only the Sun and Moon families need to agree, just waiting for that person to appear, and the Esoteric Sect can penetrate the Empire’s heartland!"

"According to the envoys, it also counts that Chenxing family’s head is sensible, not only completely refraining from accepting gifts, but also hosted them zealously, you wouldn’t believe, the envoys attended such an imposing banquet, reportedly, even the utensils they used were expensive Abyssal Items, tainted with forbidden evil aura...."

"This negotiation, Ladder Brother, you are the chief merit holder, the leaders of the Church Nation are very pleased, they will highly promote you."

"Just wait until we bring that Cersei down, then even the Ladder Saintess won’t be a match for you."

Having heard Chaotic Elevator’s report, An Su had a general understanding of the situation, this initial preparation was done properly.

This was a tranquilizer for the Esoteric Sect.

With the task completed, the higher-ups wouldn’t trouble An Su for the time being, he could focus on the following matters.

He glanced towards the direction of the study, where the Elf was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge. He instructed Miss Enya to constantly keep an eye on the Elf. To keep the Elf occupied, An Su had even written several exercise books for her.

Such as "Secret Scrolls of the Legendary Great Mage Wang Houxiong" and "Zhihong Optimization by the Radiant Demigod Ren Zhihong".... So many dizzying pieces of forbidden knowledge were now laid out before the Elf’s eyes that even a cat would be bewildered.

Seeing the Elf utterly content in An Su’s house, he decided to take the opportunity to go out alone; he needed to find Merlin.

Fortunately, the weather had cleared up outside.

He made his way to the Magic Association, taking the familiar path up to the tenth floor, and when he reached the gate to Heaven, An Su realized there was an awkward problem: he had just been kicked out of Heaven’s chat group a few days ago and the cooldown period to rejoin had not yet ended. He could not yet re-enter Heaven.

But finding Merlin was not that troublesome.

Because Merlin was about to bring trouble to An Su!

An Su felt a chilly breeze around him, and from the moment he stepped into the Magic Association, those pure white pupils had firmly locked onto him, and the frightful aura of the Demigod expanded wildly, the formidable presence forcefully bearing down on An Su.

"His Excellency Merlin—" he said with a smile.

But when An Su turned around, he saw that pure white figure standing at the end of the thousand steps, almost like an illusion. The crimson robe fluttered with the night wind, stretching along the sky. The Magic Circuits kept surfacing, and the gates of Heaven flung open, ready for the Angel to descend upon the mortal world at any moment.

The Holy hymn also resounded by his ears.

He had seen it many times; how could he not recognize this setup? The familiar pattern of Magic Circuits, the familiar flow of magic power, was clearly Merlin’s most notoriously Holy magic "Light of Judgment."

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.

And the moment he acted, it was the second circuit of the Light of Judgment!

An Su broke out in a cold sweat, not expecting that Merlin would attack his gender right upon meeting him. Indeed, his old man was right; from top to bottom, the Radiant Holy See was filled with perverts.

"His Excellency Merlin," An Su maintained his composure, looking up at the pure white figure at the top of the stairs, "What are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Merlin asked with a smirk and a grin, "Just reuniting the three sisters."

This youngster still dared to return!

Taking advantage of his reputation to make up exam questions, nearly causing all candidates to fail. If it weren’t for his usually fair and benevolent leadership and educational guidance, allowing his loyal and righteous Priests to draw lots for a scapegoat, his vacation would have been completely ruined.

"His Excellency Merlin, you jest."

An Su said, pulling out a stack of Magic Film Rolls from the inner pocket of his jacket, "You wouldn’t want the Saints to know about your date with Bishop Rada, would you? If anything happens to me, this recording will immediately be broadcasted everywhere."

Last time, An Su had recorded all the battles between Merlin and Bishop Rada while observing from the sidelines with his Magic Recording Device.

"... Kid below."

Merlin fell silent, halting the flow of magic power. The Angel had only arrived halfway to Earth when it was recalled back to Heaven, the overwhelming presence of the Demigod completely dissipated, and Merlin was nearly laughed to death by An Su.

If this dark history were to be known by others, Merlin’s career as a bishop would be over.

He sighed helplessly, with a chilling tone, "What do you want, lad?"

Although Heaven was now closed, the remnants of its glory had not yet faded, and a faint radiance lingered among the steps.

Outside the glass walls, the sky also darkened, night began to rise, and thick leaden clouds covered the horizon. The sunset could not reach down, forced to slant completely atop that layer of clouds, casting one side of the world in a hue of red clouds and sky.

"Actually, I already know that you are not Merlin."

An Su stared at Merlin, revealing a calm smile, raising his Magic Recording Device, he slowly said,

"Bishop of Chaos, the real Merlin, Andre, has already been possessed by you, hasn’t he?"

Merlin: "...you’re talking nonsense."
