I Have a Dice Left by a God

Chapter 710: Chapter 302: Enchanter

Staring at the figure of Hong Ban leaving, Patir felt for the first time that this carefree guy had a deeper side.

"I’ve done you such a big favor, how should you thank me?" Patir smiled.

"Treat you to a meal?" Li Xin thought for a moment and said.

"Sure, sure, then I must give you a good feast." Patir said happily.

Li Xin’s heart skipped a beat. He knew Patir’s spending ability very well. Her idea of a feast might just cost him a fortune, "Ahem, I’ll take you to the best food in Dragon Capital!"

"Oh? Dengyun Platform, Tianyu Square, or Full Flower Tower, tsk, I know, Heaven’s Taste Tower cooperating with the Gourmet Association!" Patir said with a smile, "Heaven’s Taste Tower is quite hard to book."

"How can those mediocre places match you?" Li Xin confidently said.

Patir’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, "You’re making me quite interested."

"Wait for the news."

Separated from Patir, Li Xin went back to Shadow Owl.

"Boss, my and Qi Badao’s Silver Owl appointments have been approved above, Huerta’s Copper Owl appointment you can directly decide." Meng Po said.

In the past, it had to be done from the Metropolitan side; now, with autonomous management, Li Xin could make most decisions himself. Of course, changes at the Silver Owl or Captain Level have to be reported to the Cabinet and Church Court, and generally, there’s no denial unless special circumstances arise.

As Li Xin’s prestige gradually increased, his voice would matter even more.

"Sister Meng, have Old Tuo and the others prepare for action anytime." Li Xin nodded and said.

"The Hong Family is sorted?" Meng Po asked in surprise.

"It’s done."

Even Meng Po was surprised; the Hong Family was now looking down on everyone, but unexpectedly managed to conduct an autopsy—truly miraculous.

"Alright, I’ll have them ready. As soon as we can see Hong Yan, Old Tuo will definitely find some clues."

Moon God’s Great Cathedral.

A meeting with over ten people in the room was noisily divided into factions led by Kathy and Mier respectively.

Mier was the secretary of Farson, the Red-robed Archbishop, extremely handsome with an effeminate appearance, speaking with charm that appealed to both men and women, but oddly had no effect on Kathy, and even showed some disdain.

"Secretary Kathy, the Hong Yan case concerns the Church Court’s reputation. It’s backed by the Church Court. Such an important task entrusted to you shows trust. You better hurry!"

Mier stared at Kathy, intrigued from her first step into the Moon God’s Great Cathedral. At first, he thought this new angel would be easy to handle, but she turned out quite shrewd, unaffected by pressure, increasing his interest. Farson was also interested, and many in the Church were fascinated by her.

"Time is still abundant, no need to rush, Secretary Mier."

"The sooner it gets resolved, the more beneficial it is. Dragging too long harms the Church Court’s authority."

"Where were you rushing to earlier? Now your urgency seems misplaced." Kathy said indifferently.

Mier wasn’t annoyed, smiling slightly, the allure of this charming angel left everyone momentarily stunned, "The Night Patrol is now operating independently. Since we’re letting go, it’s best to let go thoroughly. I suggest we suspend future funding and observe the results first."

"Secretary Mier, the Night Patrol remains an important part of our Church Court, Night Patrol for Dragon Capital..."

"No need for lengthy talk, rules are rules, clear responsibilities. If Secretary Kathy wants change, then make it thorough. A month’s time is sufficient, with enough power given. If unsuccessful, it might be time for the Night Patrol to disband and restructure." Mier said. "Staying stuck helps no one."

Laughter unknowingly erupted from those present, caught in an uncertain situation.

Kathy frowned, "In any case, Night Patrol belongs to the Church Court, others will see it that way. Disbanding is too harsh, Night Patrol has achieved much over the years."

Mier, the public secret of Farson’s exclusive partner, with a seductive path as an angel, indulging in men and women alike, often hunting with Farson, building a vast network, an absolute confidant.

His power couldn’t be underestimated, walking the seductive path is old-fashioned, but not exclusive to women. It demands more for men, but the power is more terrifying, capable of elevating everyone to bliss.

"Kathy, last meeting you said names must match reality, I found it logical, so the new orders clearly define Night Patrol’s responsibilities. Let’s follow the rules, I believe it’s consensus among this committee, power is granted, support is given, if still unsuccessful, there’s no need for existence. A rich foundation can’t afford such waste."

Nurturing Night Patrol costs a lot, but overall, it serves Lilon’s security, split with Cabinet governance, often making direct ties to the Church impossible, leading to complaints. This is not just Dragon Capital, but a huge Lilon expense Farson often suggested discarding, to form a new loyal Church institution.

But internal opinions differed, Night Patrol was foundational cooperation with Luthor, a basis of Beijing recognition for Moon God’s Court, a fusion bond. Concerns lingered over Night Patrol’s detachment, and when Kathy emerged, it fit perfectly into Farson’s plans.

"Then just wait and see the outcome." Kathy said coldly, in a reckless manner.

She had unconditional trust in Li Xin, an independent Night Patrol was a crisis, but risk and opportunity coexisted. If successful, Night Patrol’s autonomy grows, ultimately letting Li Xin fully control Night Patrol, Kathy’s true goal.

Mier’s handsome face showed a faintly devilish smile.

After dispersing, observers Bai Zhongdong and Marshall left together.

"Such a risky decision from the secretary this time." Marshall said.

Bai Zhongdong also nodded gravely, "I sent experts and even used sealed items, still found no problems; not curse, nor magic potion, no fatal injuries, at most only weak kidney."

Marshall also had a puzzled look, "Then how did he die?"

"A collapse from inside out, never seen before, without identified cause, and baffled diviners and life masters make ineffective judgments."

"Surely related to the Song of Hell."

"No evidence; that seductive woman definitely has issues, but my people couldn’t track her. She erased her traces from the source. Few organizations work this way. I suspect Withered Wood Monastery, the same person as the Celestial Capital case last time."

"A nun from Withered Wood Monastery?"

Marshall and Bai Zhongdong ceased further discussion. Higher-ups in the Church avoided the Five Great Sanctuaries; a very hidden, brutal history led to the decline of the glorious papal era, the reduction of divine power, and the prestigious Holy Mother Monastery becoming the lonely Withered Wood Monastery.

Deep night.

Within Hong Family’s mourning hall, Hong Ban quietly brought people inside, blatant entry isn’t possible. Claiming sole vigil duties, he drove everyone away. In reality, others in the Hong Family didn’t care, focusing on family power and face, having vented a while, the current aim was family internal strife.

Patir also followed, dressed similarly to Night Patrol in black, fitting perfectly with her figure.

Snake Skin and the Drunkard oversaw surveillance outside the mourning hall, Snake Skin’s puppet hidden in darkness, Li Xin brought Meng Po, Old Tuo, Xie Yutang to the front of the mourning hall.

Hong Yan’s body was well-preserved, partly due to cold weather and some tricks from the Hong Family.
