Chapter 183 (2): Young Mage, You Can’t Protect Anyone
Bourne stared at Megan while rubbing his hands together like a pervert. Obed huffed and ordered, “You did well, Megan. Is Planck’s silver coin in your hand?”
“Sir Obed, I have no such thing,” Megan pressed a hand to her chest and responded respectfully.
“Really?” Obed’s eyes glinted as they shifted to Megan’s chest. “After working for Auston for so long, you’ve gotten better at lying. Give me the coin now. Don’t force my hand.”
“Calm down, Obed. At the end of the day, Megan saved us.” Bourne attempted to mediate, looking at Megan with a smile. “Don’t mind him. He’s furious with Planck. By the way, it’s been a long time since we last chatted. Care to swing by my office?”
“Master Auston is waiting for my report,” Megan said impassively. “The Church of Moonlight’s base seems to be under demonic attack. I’ll take my leave.”
She turned and walked away.
Bourne huffed with displeasure. “That damn Auston is too good at charming women. If I had his silver tongue, Megan would be serving me as a loyal servant.”
“Bourne, stay and watch over Planck. Megan took his silver coin. He’s the traitor!” Obed interrupted Bourne and gave him an order as one of the vice ministers. “I’ll go to the Moonlight base. The demon couldn’t have gone to such lengths without a grand plan.”
“Obed, we’re still grounded. We can’t leave.” Yvette, also a vice minister, stopped him. “Don’t worry about the demon. The angel has rushed over.”
Obed shook his head. “Yvette, an angel isn’t trustworthy. If we worry about the house arrest in this situation, we’ll only be putting Londan in danger. We alone can protect the city.”
“Yes.” Yvette nodded. “But you’re still under suspicion, so you shouldn’t be visiting the Church of Moonlight. The Minister ordered me to take care of Moonlight’s High Reverend. I’ll be the best candidate to make the visit.”
Obed frowned deeply. After a pause, he said, “If you insist, I’ll accept it.”
