I! Cleaner!
Chapter 158 - 158: 0137 Who has the final say?_1

After taking down the Holy Spirit of the Scales Gold Sect and wearing it around, would having absorbed enough of its aura be considered gaining the Holy Spirit's approval to become a Bishop of the Scales Gold Sect?

After listening to Leon's question, not only did the old man from the Rose family freeze in place, but even the Ryan Family trio felt their brains buzzing with confusion.

*They understood each word the Duke said, but why did it not make any sense altogether?*

"Say something, will you?"

After waiting a while without hearing an answer, Leon frowned slightly, looking a bit annoyed as he pressed on,

"Is this feasible or not? Quickly give me an answer!"

"Ah? This... this..."

Seeing that this ominous figure was a bit displeased, the old man from the Rose Family shuddered violently. But since no one had tried this before, and no one had even thought about it, he really didn't know how to answer. With a mournful face, he said,

"There's no precedent for this, I truly have no idea... perhaps... perhaps you can try it yourself?"

*Try it myself... is it possible?*

After contemplating for a moment, Leon nodded slightly and then asked,

"When is your Scales Gold Sect's next gathering?"

*You're really going to try it!*

Looking at Leon seriously asking about the gathering time, the old man from the Rose Family was nearly in tears.

At this moment, he wished he could travel back five seconds in time and strangle himself alive for suggesting such nonsense.

Not to mention anything else, just bringing this person who took out the Brown Bishop to the gathering was akin to apostasy, and it would definitely invite relentless pursuit.

And if this ominous figure succeeded in the end and truly became a Bishop of some branch, when the people of the Scales Gold Sect reacted, they might even directly invite a Holy Spirit to take him out!

But...

Glancing at the body of the "serenely" lying woman in the brown robe on the ground, and then looking at the bloodstains on his pants that hadn't dried yet, the old man from the Rose family had to swallow his tears back and obediently revealed the Scales Gold Sect's next gathering time.

"Three weeks! The Scales Gold Sect holds gatherings every two months, and the next one is in three weeks!"

*Choose the lesser of two evils, right? Although apostasy is likely to lead to death, given this person's tendency to explode people's heads upon meeting, refusing him might just have him lying next to the Brown Bishop in the next second!*

Three weeks, huh?

Noting the time in his mind, Leon looked at the old man in front of him with a bitter expression and continued to ask,

"Where is the location, and how do I get there?"

"Well... the Scales Gold Sect is a secretive sect, so every gathering is notified temporarily..."

"That's fine, I'll come to find you in three weeks. At that time, you can take me there."

"..."

"Is there a problem?"

"No... no problem..."

With the "three-week agreement" made with the old man from the Rose family, Leon turned to look at the three old golden retrievers of the Ryan Family behind him, frowning,

"You all..."

"We won't say a single word!"

After witnessing Leon's series of actions, the three old golden retrievers had completely lost their temper regarding their new Duke who possessed some kind of special power, and whose thoughts were clearly different from those of normal people.

To avoid the fate of being blown to bits with a single glance, the three retrievers pounded their chests to swear that they would say nothing after leaving, each one of their old faces wearing a more "affable" expression than the last, as if they might grow a wagging tail from behind any second.

Alright then...

After glancing at the obedient "Ryan Three Elders" and then at the pale-faced old man from the Rose Family, Leon, who was still investigating, shook his head and suppressed the last bit of his intention to act.

After wantonly "releasing" during the Ryan Blood Night, although a large part of his anger had been vented, it seemed as if a new switch had been flipped, and when faced with matters, he began prioritizing striking directly.

*It seemed the director was right: the more power one possessed, the more they needed to restrain their actions.*

*Especially the Cleaners with Abnormal abilities, as they were constantly subjected to the Corrosion of Anomalous Objects, making them prone to radicalization. If they were to indulge their desires at such a time, they would gradually drift further from being "Human."*

*And if these extraordinary beings were completely uncontrolled, the world itself would be thrown into chaos even before the Evil Gods descended.*

*But not indulging doesn't mean doing nothing!*

With the help of the Black Goat's soul vision, after carefully observing the situation at the Rose Manor and seeing an equally unredeemable number of "Ink Spots," Leon squinted slightly.

"Let's leave it at that for today."

Looking at those dark souls that, although not as numerous as those in the Ryan Family, were no less "quality," Leon couldn't help but grip the Black Goat's horn tightly and then gave the old man from the Rose Family a meaningful glance.

"We'll meet in three weeks."

"Ah? Alright! I'll see you out now!"

Seeing this ominous figure finally prepare to leave, the four people in the room were greatly relieved. The old man from the Rose Family even eagerly followed behind, ready to personally escort Leon out of the manor.

"No need to see me out, I can find my own way."

Rejecting the old man from the Rose Family's offer, Leon checked the task target's location, found it still wandering inside the outer walls of the manor, and simply found a window to climb out of, intending to send the person back home first.

And as they swarmed to the window, watching his silhouette disappear into the woodland with their own eyes, the hearts of the four old men, which had been held high, finally settled completely back in their chests. The old man from the Rose Family, completely relieved, slumped onto the carpet.

"Arrogant!"

Grabbing the window frame firmly and steadying his trembling legs, the only remaining elder of the Ryan Family was the first to speak, his hair and beard bristling with anger,

"Even though he's the new Duke of Lionheart, I'm the only elder left in the family! Even when the old Duke was still around, he never dared to treat me so lightly!"

"You're absolutely right."

After hearing the words of the old family elder, the old butler beside him, his heart pounding like a drum and his face deathly pale, pressed his heart hard and nodded in agreement,

"The Duke's character... is indeed a bit too extreme."

"Yes! The way he dares to treat us now, I don't even dare to imagine what will happen once he officially becomes the Duke!"

After pounding the windowsill fiercely, the head of the Ryan Family gritted his teeth and said,

"We can't let today's incident slide; during the Duke's succession ceremony, we must join forces to teach him a lesson, to let this damn guy know exactly who calls the shots in the Ryan Family!"
