Chapter 261 (2): In Terms of Beauty, You Can’t Beat Me
“There’s one more thing. I failed to become the Anointed One, unsurprisingly.” Wayne spread his hands.
“It’s only natural. You’re a man. How could you become a vessel for the Goddess of Nature in the human world? Even if the goddess could accept it, the followers wouldn’t.” Filomina laughed at the Church of Nature’s expense since it had no bearing on her.
“But the High Prophet noticed my excellent talent, and I almost became his successor.”
“Almost?”
“Someone more formidable intervened. I became his successor instead, and the High Prophet left in dejection.” Wayne spoke mysteriously.
“Who could’ve done that?”
Filomina bit the bait, guessing it was the Pope. Getting a negative, she told the riddler to hurry up and stop keeping her in suspense.
“Moula, the Nature Knight!”
“...”
“Say something, Mina!”
“How could it be the Nature Knight? You shouldn’t become the Anointed One, much less the chosen knight...” Filomina covered her mouth and chuckled coyly, pointing at his chest. “You do have great talent, but you have a wicked heart. You couldn’t have been so good at deceiving women that you deceived the goddess, could you?”
“No, I didn’t meet the goddess at all. Mr. Moula said that I’m strong, handsome, young, and polite, so I passed the assessment.” Wayne omitted a billion details when telling the truth.
