The Devil's Cage Chapter 900

Chapter 900: 900

Meanwhile, in Naveya's wealthy district, a bunch of shady people were gathering in an independent building equipped with a garden .

It was a wealthy merchant's house . The merchant was well-known by all because he donated tons of offerings to Wealth Temple .

Everyone pictured him as a devoted believer but at this moment inside his study room, the wealthy merchant was standing in front of a crowd with a heavy expression .

Even more so when all the disguises in the crowd were removed, showing their injured conditions to the merchant, his heavy expression worsened .

Unconsciously, the merchant looked at a middle-aged man in the crowd .

The middle-aged man was similar to the others, his arm was bandaged; his face looked normal but his eyes were as sharp as knives .

It was because of those sharp eyes, it made the middle-aged man stand out from the crowd .

Despite being injured, he still possessed a presence that others couldn't neglect .

In fact, as the leader of Oak Hand, the middle-aged man possessed strength on par with his sharp eyes . Otherwise, he wouldn't lead Oak Hand to become the longest surviving gang in Naveya and because of that, it granted him an outstandingly prestigious position among his peers .

Following the wealthy merchant's gaze, the crowd too turned to the middle-aged man, seemingly awaiting his orders .

"Activate it," the middle-aged man said as he was looked upon .

It?

Those who didn't know felt confused; those who knew trembled with shock .

Especially the wealthy merchant . As the person in-charged of "it", he knew what consequences would follow, or more precisely, what cost they would have to pay .

"Leader, do we really have to do this?" The wealthy merchant asked with hesitance and unwillingness .

"We have to! Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Emerald Rock will never let this chance slip! They will surely launch a full a.s.sault on us using this opportunity and only 'it" can help us overcome our problems at hand!"

The middle-aged man took in a deep breath and showed unwillingness on his face as well but his words were strict and decisive .

Although it would cost him his savings for many years, it would be better than losing his life right?

"I understand!" The wealthy merchant nodded and left the room afterward .

10 minutes later, a wagon arrived before the building's entrance .

The wealthy merchant led his servants to welcome the person inside .

The two-wheeled wagon was pulled by an old horse; the wagoner was dressed very shabbily and had patches on his s.h.i.+rt but no one dared to look down on the wagon itself because of the temple's insignia on it .

The insignia that represented Wealth Temple was a golden s.h.i.+ning coin the size of a palm .

Likewise, the elderly priest that came down from the carriage had the same insignia on his chest and sleeves also .

Compared to his common priest outfit, the insignia was looking lively with its s.h.i.+ne under the sun .

"Priest Schmocker, I thank you for your arrival . " The merchant greeted as he took a bag of coins and gave it to the priest .

The priest smiled when he received the bag of coins .

"May Lady Carricanton bless you . " The priest tapped the merchant's shoulder lightly .

The merchant was overwhelmed by the unexpected favor . He then welcomed the priest into his mansion respectfully .

Anyone who saw the scene at any time, anywhere else, would feel surprised but not here .

Not only the servants but even the watching crowd showed an understanding smile .

Among the 25 temples in Naveya, the most easy-going temple was surely not Mercy Temple, it was Wealth Temple .

Inside Wealth Temple, money was absolute .

Whether one sinned or not, if they could provide enough money offering, they could acquire a Sin Atonement Scroll or a chance to be pardoned .

No money?

Please turn to the left and head to Mercy Temple instead; the sinner could elaborate on their sins and receive atonement for their sins by caning .

Therefore, Wealth Temple was popular among the wealthy people, it even pushed Thorn Temple down from the list, becoming one of the Four Great Temples and only second to Lightning Temple .

So it was necessary for the people to show respect to the priest himself .

The injured middle-aged man was already inside the living hall, welcoming Priest Schmocker .

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Priest Schmocker . The moment I saw you, it felt like my wounds were getting better . " The middle-aged man bowed before uttering flattering words .

"That is also Lady Carricanton's glorious light . I am just her messenger and as for what you want to do, you better pray to the G.o.ddess herself . "

Priest Schmocker was implying something else with his words, his face had the cunningness from time and age .

The priest knew who the middle-aged man was, his occupation and what he wanted to achieve but he didn't care .

As long as the middle-aged man was willing to offer a great deal of money, pleasuring the Lady of Wealth, it would be sufficient .

Wasn't this what a devoted believer should do?

As for the others? He didn't care!

They were the prayers towards Lady Wealth, how could a mortal question so much?!

The middle-aged man understood the meaning instantly .

Promptly, the Oak Hand leader kneeled with one knee, "Oh respectful Lady Carricanton, the revered Lady of Wealth, please hear my prayers! I am willing to exchange my gold coins for your blessings and protections!"

As the middle-aged man spoke, two other men carried out a box full of gold coins .

Then, the gold coins in the box swiftly vanished before their naked eyes, as though an invisible hand grabbed the gold coins and filled them into an invisible sack .

Soon, the gold coins were emptied out; two more boxes of gold coins were carried out then after that .

"I am willing to wash my sins with more gold coins!" The middle-aged man continued .

This time, the two new boxes of gold coins flew up in mid-air and the gold coins were poured out but none of the coins touched the floor .

The gold coins vanished the moment they were poured down into the air itself .

At the same time, the middle-aged man had a faint layer of golden brilliance over his body .

When the golden brilliance appeared, Priest Schmocker started to pray softly .

"This is a little care from Lady Carricanton and you can only get such an effect by offering a huge amount of gold coins, at least ten thousand and above . Lady Carricanton is watching you and blessing you" Priest Schmocker said softly .

"Thank you Lady Wealth for your generosity," The middle-aged man replied with respect and reverence .

Then, another bag of coins was placed in the priest's palm; compared to the one given to him in the entrance, this bag of coins was bigger and more bloated .

The priest kept the coins in his sleeves; both of them exchanged smiles but their smiles were frozen right away .

"I've always wondered why Oak Hand had so much nerve to do things and it seems like they are affiliated with Wealth Temple?"

A voice entered the hall and…

KABOOM!

The main door of the building was blasted to the sky and a figure marched in with a stride .

Everyone within the hall widened their eyes one after another when they saw the approaching figure because despite being under the sun, the figure was faint and translucent .

What was more terrifying, following the figure's appearance, a killing aura that covered the sky and flooded the earth smashed down on everyone inside the hall like a tidal wave, causing them to tremble .

They heard the wails of agony from the struggling souls, as life faded away, a dense b.l.o.o.d.y stench a.s.saulted their nose .

A killer! No, not just any killer but an executioner, a butcher that has slaughtered countless souls!

Now, only one person in Naveya City fit the criteria of the figure: the mysterious and never seen before King of Killers!

The leader of Emerald Rock! . . . . Meanwhile, in Naveyas wealthy district, a bunch of shady people were gathering in an independent building equipped with a garden .
