Chapter 72: Proposal Of Loyalty
Meanwhile, back in Nexaria...
The Church, together with the Raven’s guild, was holding a press conference to address the situation from last week where Zodiacs invaded Nexaria.
While the event was being marketed as that, the heroes knew it was more of an event to officially integrate the Ravens into the Church’s faction and make them even stronger.
As such, the Pope sat in the middle and to his side were the Guild master and the guild manager of the Raven’s guild. Everyone found it odd because Seraphina and a representative of the Heroes usually occupied those seats. But that wasn’t the case anymore.
While the Saintess was nowhere to be seen, the heroes had also taken a back seat as most prominent heroes except Sophia were missing from the event.
Like before, the Pope took charge and got up with his hands together, followed by the rest of the Church’s officials. The conference officially began after a quick prayer for Nexaria and their citizen’s safety.
"I’m sure the beloved citizens of goddess Aria’s domain want to know what happened at the delinquent Hero Adrian’s funeral," The Pope said with a smile.
Referring to their beloved hero as a delinquent took the crowd by surprise. All of them raised an eyebrow, but their reaction only made the Pope’s smile wider. The fish had taken the bait.
However, the crowd wasn’t the only one with such reactions. The heroes had similar expressions as they were told the conference would address the issue with the Zodiacs and also pay Adrian respect that they couldn’t because of the attack.
