Chapter 581: Chapter 418 My Money! (2)_2

They could do nothing, only watch helplessly as their subordinates kept dying.

They had not reached that level, unable to understand that when one’s power became strong enough, there was simply no need to please anyone... although Qin Chu had only grasped this truth on his second journey through this world.

Saint Monica and Wozworth also changed their expressions, but unlike the pale faces of Kain and the others, theirs were filled with excited pleasure.

The coronation ceremony of the new Pope had evidently turned into a bloodbath.

No one could have predicted this turn of events; those Holy Men, watching their companions die one after another, let out miserable screams as they fled in disgrace, unable to escape the chains pursuing them from behind.

Some of the Holy Men wanted to quickly kneel down, for what use was honor, what use was pride, they were all worthless.

At such times, surviving was all that mattered.

But just as their knees began to bend, a whirlwind swept through, lifting these Holy Men into the sky, and then blood rained down from above.

They begged for protection from Archbishop Kain, Alger, and the Vice Captains, not realizing that these people were already struggling to save themselves.

The sound of screaming lasted for a full ten minutes before gradually subsiding.

Looking at the ground, it was now a river of blood, with severed limbs and bodies everywhere.

The few remaining who knelt on the ground pressed their foreheads tightly against the ground, trembling violently.

"Veronica, execute my command," Qin Chu said coldly. "And while you’re at it, take a look inside the homes of a few others..."

Veronica nodded and stepped into the crowd to select those who had already knelt down to confiscate their possessions.

The faces of Alger and others turned ashen; they wanted to intervene but didn’t dare utter another word.

Sweat pervaded their foreheads, and a fear too immense to describe already engulfed their entire bodies.

The wait was excruciating, torturous, unbearable; Qin Chu was casually chatting with Wozworth and Saint Monica, as if nothing had happened.

But for Kain, Alger, and Galbraith, it felt like waiting for the execution of a death sentence.

With every passing minute, the pressure on them intensified.

They even felt that before Qin Chu could pass judgment, they might die from heart rupture.

Time had passed, indeterminably long, when, with a burst of hurried footsteps, Veronica finally returned. Not with many carriages loaded with contraband, Veronica merely held a bag filled with an abundance of storage rings.

"Your Holiness," Veronica’s voice trembled, her tone filled with indescribable reverence, her eyes revealing a crazy shudder.

This woman was becoming more and more like a fanatic.

"The results of the confiscation are in."

"How did it go?" Qin Chu, who had been exchanging words with Saint Monica and Wozworth, finally shifted his attention to inquire.

"Nine residences: Magic, Holy Crystal Stones, deeds to properties, Magic Stones, precious Magic Potions, various gemstones, and other high-value items filled one hundred seventy-four storage rings... among them, just the cash in Mana alone exceeds three billion."

Although Qin Chu already knew these people were exceedingly corrupt and venal, he was still shocked upon hearing Veronica’s report.

Nine people, just these high-value items were enough to fill one hundred seventy-four storage rings; what did that signify?

A storage ring, with each dimension of three meters, was essentially a small room. The high-value items these people had embezzled averaged out to fill around twenty rooms per person... and this didn’t even include the storage rings they wore on their fingers.

Money, it was all money; this was a fortune in the making.

Perhaps it was because he had grown accustomed to poverty on Earth, and though wealth held little meaning for Qin Chu now, a trace of greed still flashed in his eyes.

Mana alone had three billion.

After all, this money would naturally be confiscated, meaning it belonged to the Holy Court, and as the Pope, that naturally meant my money, my money!

"Besides that, a large number of antiques and artworks of inestimable value have also been appropriated."

"Report individually," Qin Chu took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and said.

"Yes, Your Holiness."

"From the estate of Kain alone, four billion in cash were confiscated from Mana, along with thirty-eight thousand Holy Crystal Stones, thirty-four pieces of high-end real estate, and forty-eight males were rescued..."

As Veronica’s voice continued, Kain’s complexion grew paler and paler.

When Veronica had finally taken more than ten minutes just to finish reading the list, Qin Chu’s gaze then fell upon Kain.

"Archbishop Kain, can you tell me where you got all this money, so many Holy Crystal Stones, so many properties, and can you explain what the deal is with these boys you’ve rescued?" Qin Chu’s voice was utterly suppressed.

"Anpton embezzled six million from Mana, and you feel he should be expelled from the Holy Court, so in your view, what kind of punishment should you yourself face?"

Kain’s mouth trembled incessantly, and at this moment he had no idea what to say.

"Drag him out, behead him..."

With a wave of his hand, Qin Chu coldly issued the order.

Kain’s face changed drastically in an instant, and just as he thought to resist, a wave of heat rushed towards him, and the figure of Catherine had already appeared beside Kain, a hand resting on Kain’s shoulder.

Just a few days ago, Catherine’s Star Flame Fighting Energy had finally made a breakthrough, and although it hadn’t yet breached the barrier of Level 90, her level close to 89 had already far surpassed the limits of Kain’s abilities.

Catherine’s delicate hand seemed to exert little force, but Kain only felt his legs uncontrollably snap, his knees breaking, his body kneeling on the ground, wailing incessantly.

Seeing that he was about to be executed, Kain felt an unprecedented terror; he screamed violently, hoping to grasp at the last straw for survival, "Qin Chu, do you no longer care about Angelica’s life? My men have long since..."

Angelica?

Qin Chu’s eyes instantly narrowed. These bastards, they dared to lay a hand on Angelica?

Seeking death...

Just as Qin Chu was about to explode in rage, suddenly, one corpse after another flew across the sky, landing with a thud in front of Kain.

"Are these the men you mentioned?" Accompanied by a cool voice, a figure in pure white appeared on the scene with a gust of wind. If not Angelica, then who else?

When he saw the familiar corpses on the ground, Kain’s face turned completely ashen.

His last hope vanished at that moment.

A cruel smile appeared on Catherine’s face as she grabbed Kain’s hair and brought him directly in front of the kneeling holy men.

She positioned herself, and the Flame Extreme Heavy Sword in her hand instantly tore through the air.

Schlick!

A prized head rolled far away, the wide eyes filled with intense unwillingness and fear.
