Chapter 248: Section 183: Familiar Strangers (Part One)
Cain surely had a unique talent; he circled the ruins twice and identified two spots. The Punishers removed one pile of debris to confirm a ventilation shaft.
After excavating the other spot, they confirmed it was a passage. Like the camp, Chaos seemed to always fancy their handiwork underground, reminding Malin of the destroyed Carterburg. It seems the Western District’s walls were damaged by these rats.
It’s a pity that in this world, you all have met a unique me.
The search and extermination of the underground sewer were left to the Church of the War God, but the old Bishop disagreed, "You lad should also lead our Church’s apprentices. Last time we trained with your Church’s apprentices for combat, our apprentices’ brains were almost hammered out by yours. Who exactly are the apprentices of the Church of the War God?"
The old man expressed his displeasure so bluntly, and Malin was also headaches—after training his own Church’s apprentices for years and feeding them tricks, they had become sharp. They even assimilated strengths from various homes, and the higher-year apprentices published a booklet—’How to Survive Six Seconds Longer in an Encounter with Malin’.
Malin naturally couldn’t know the content, but according to Miss Margaret who had seen it, it was truly full of blood and tears.
"Alright then, since you’re pleading for your apprentices to get hit, I’ll come over every Thursday. That should be fine, right?" Malin replied with a wry smile.
"That won’t do. You lead the team here, I’ll give you a Punisher squad and two teams of higher-year apprentices," the Bishop from the Church of the War God insisted, presenting a tough demand which made Malin frown, "I’m not a nanny," Malin said, turning around and waving his hand, deciding to leave then and there.
"Sara’s sister is also here," the Bishop mentioned.
Malin turned back, looking at the old man in front of him, and couldn’t help but feel some annoyance at this old coot, "Are the kids from the House of Brice in debt to you or something?"
