Chapter 802

His girlfriend had cheated on him in the past. Consumed by hatred, he

lost his mind and burst out violently with a knife due to overwhelming

rage. Later, he fled to Gavistat and assumed a new identity. He took

refuge in the Mistclad Monastery.

During his years in the monastery, he did manage to let go of his

attachments and hatred. He genuinely engaged in virtuous deeds at

the time, using the holistic medical skills taught by his master to help

those suffering from illness.

However, after his master passed, the new leader began exploiting

the monastery for personal gain. He charged exorbitant fees and

embezzled donations. The once ascetic priests started breaking their

vows by indulging in flesh.

He confronted the new leader about these transgressions, but the

response had been dismissive. The leader argued, “You’re naïve.

Alcohol and meat pass through the gut while God resides in the heart.

These rules and precepts are just for show.”

Under the new leader’s management, the Mistclad Monastery so

announced its dissolution. The leader even sold the monastery to

tourism company, absconding with the funds and leaving the priest.

homeless.

Before Dalton left, he opened the relic his master left behind. Inside

was a part of the Eight-Part Scepter and a parchment explaining its

usage.

His master had acquired the Eight-Part Scepter and originally

intended to use it to quell the turbulence on Possidian Mountain. However, Dalton knew his master had his motives for it.

The Mythism sect that had the Eight-Part Scepter would undoubtedly be at a higher standing in the Mythism community. Unfortunately, hist master departed for the Pure Land before the Mistclad Monastery

achieved such prominence.

Even accomplished priests like his master had personal motives.

What else was there to say about the rest?

Afterward, he left Gavistat with the Eight-Part Scepter until he was found by members of the Emerald Wren Guard. The Emerald Wren

Guard was a secret organization affiliated with the government,

consisting of individuals with various extraordinary abilities.

While its members enjoyed considerable freedom, when the Emerald

Wren Order was issued, they had to obey the organization’s

commands without question.

With his newfound wealth of eight million, he quickly succumbed to the allure of worldly pleasures. In the past year, he had traveled far and wide, assisting numerous distressed female supplicants in th

times of need.

However, he caught the attention of the Inspection Office in Sage

Felicity waited for a satisfactory answer from him and could not help but complain when it did not come. “Hey, how is a big shot like you so

evasive?”

Dalton took a deep breath, turned around, and lowered his gaze to focus on Felicity’s voluptuous figure, Narrowing his eyes, he smiled. “I can lend it to you, but on two conditions.”

Felicity took two steps back and crossed her arms over her chest. Adjusting the collar of her clothes, she looked at the man cautiously and said, “Let’s hear them.”

Calmly, Dalton started, “First, the Investigation Office has to stop

investigating me. I no longer make visits to the red-light district. Even if you replace me enjoying myself with other women, there’s no reason to bring me to the Inspection Office!”

“I can agree to that,” Felicity responded without hesitation.

Previously, Dalton’s visits to the red-light district involved monetary transactions, constituting illegal and disorderly behavior. If he just engaged with other women, it would be a violation of morals. In this case, Felicity indeed had no reason to arrest him.

“What about the second condition?” Felicity asked.

Dalton gazed at Felicity’s exquisite face, smiling subtly. “As for the second one…”

“Do you want to sleep with me?” Felicity said with a teasing smile

Dalton hastily replied, “I wouldn’t dare… For my second conditi want you to help me investigate someone.”

The deputy chief of the Inspection Office was not someone he wou ever dare act against even if he were a hundred times braver.

Felicity shook her head and said, “That would be an abuse of power. I can’t do it!”

The investigation into Dalton was justified because he frequented the red-light district, making him part of the red list. Thus, he was under

the Inspection Office’s monitoring. Him asking her to investigate

someone else would indeed be an abuse of power.
