Chapter 399: Prophecy as Conviction
“Master Mentor, I’d trouble you to come with me to the Langton family estate…”
The Pope suppressed his fury, speaking to Loren as calmly as he could. Loren could see that, right now, the man wanted to kill someone.
“Let’s go. I want to know who the real culprit is too. What I hate most is being threatened and framed.”
Loren subtly hinted at the Pope, urging him to go harder when the time came.
The Pope was already holding back his anger, and Loren’s reminder only made him more extreme. If something happened to Loren here, it would be a sign of his incompetence. He had been Pope for so long, just one step away from becoming an Angel—he didn’t want anything to go wrong at this critical moment. If Loren met with an accident, the Angel’s path would be closed to him forever.
The Pope rushed to the Langton family mansion in a furious hurry. Without a word, he kicked the front gate flying. Even Loren hadn’t expected the Pope to be this violent.
Seeing who had arrived, the mansion’s guards silently slipped into the corners. Neither Loren nor the Pope was someone they could afford to provoke. Even if the Langton family had treated them well, it wasn’t worth losing their lives over.
Such a commotion couldn’t go unnoticed inside. Soon, many armed figures rushed out—most of them were Mages. A single glance told Loren they were no pushovers. In fact, this group could probably annihilate the Gedlan Kingdom.
“A mid-tier noble family like the Langtons dares to stockpile this many soldiers? Are they planning a rebellion?”
