I've Become the King of Villains in the Game -
Chapter 854 - 540: Donations and Dinner Party
Lin State, Cold Leaf City, Generous Church.
This afternoon, just after the meal, a noble man and woman arrived at the entrance together and handed a business card to the missionary at the gate.
The two black-clad missionaries exchanged a glance and immediately bowed.
"Greetings to Your Majesties, I will notify Lord Jack immediately."
"No need, He is already expecting us."
Cold Leaf City Judge Farik smiled.
After speaking, He, along with the robed woman with her hair in a bun beside Him, walked in. The two missionaries behind waited until they were far away before exhaling deeply and exchanging surprised conversation:
"The Saints from the Shelter and Madman School... Did they come together to visit Lord Jack?"
"I didn’t expect that Lord Jack, who hasn’t been here for long, could prompt a joint visit from the two Saints of Cold Leaf City... Even Lord Peggy never received such treatment back then."
"Forget it, let’s stop talking about this..."
One of them realized the indiscretion and quickly interrupted the topic, the other nodded understandingly and shut their mouth.
On the church path, Scholar Suraya smiled lightly:
"Why did you think of visiting Jack? And brought me along..."
"I think you’re doing this intentionally, Suraya, you clearly know the reason."
Farik shook His head.
"The strength of the ’White Scale Dragon’ is clear to both of us. Houston has been a Saint for nearly a century but was killed within half an hour before Him... Now, with the arrival of Mage Carmen, it really gives a headache... No matter what, we’ve been here for decades, it’s impossible to ignore this."
"Sigh..."
Suraya sighed.
His eyes revealed a deep sentiment.
"You don’t understand, I can tell Jack is a seeker of the path, not much interested in conflict... His true self has already gone to the Byron Kingdom, which is both his pursuit and a way to reassure us."
Farik remained silent for a while, then spoke in a deep voice:
"Sorry, bound by duty, I can’t rest assured without a look."
"As you wish."
Suraya said indifferently.
"But I advise you not to repeat what you said to Peggy to Jack... If your incarnation is destroyed, it’s fine, but I still have a lot of research to complete."
"Don’t treat me like a three-year-old."
Farik said gloomily.
The two of them walked straight through the open space behind the church, seeing some Circus officers active there. They exchanged glances, and Noah and Golov and others greeted them from a distance.
Farik and Suraya nodded in response and then walked into the entrance of a large apartment. As soon as they entered, they saw a gentleman in a black hat sitting quietly on the sofa, waiting.
"Floey, could you please make two cups of tea?"
Chen Lun said to the nun in a black dress beside him.
As he spoke, he kissed her cheek, causing her to blush and nod obediently before heading to the kitchen.
"Welcome, please have a seat." Chen Lun gestured for them to sit.
As soon as Farik and Suraya sat down, Chen Lun smiled and said:
"I haven’t had the chance to thank you in person, Your Majesty Suraya, your letter of recommendation saved me a lot of time and effort."
"Hugo is a practical guy, even without the letter, he would agree to Your Majesty’s request to borrow from the Saint Byron’s Great Library."
Suraya smiled slightly and said.
"Anyway, I must thank you for your help."
Chen Lun nodded gratefully.
At this moment, Floey arrived with hot tea and served a cup to each guest, and Chen Lun had her sit by his side before continuing:
"I apologize as I originally wanted to introduce my friend, Mage Carmen, to you, but he is obsessed with the pursuit of knowledge and magic research, and rarely appears... I think Scholar Suraya would understand this."
"Of course."
Suraya smiled and nodded.
"Although I do not know much about Mage Carmen, as a transcendent of the magic path, we are always like this... Those like me who often go out are indeed a rare breed."
Farik couldn’t help but roll His eyes secretly.
Having known Suraya for decades, He understood well that this woman is also a fanatic for knowledge, and if it weren’t for His good words today, she wouldn’t have left the Mage Tower to visit the Generous Church together.
Seeing Farik looking hesitant, Chen Lun suddenly spoke:
"By the way, Judge Farik, I originally intended to visit you... Since today is coincidental, let’s discuss it now."
Farik looked puzzled.
"What is it?"
"It’s like this... Although I haven’t been in Cold Leaf City for long, I’ve been adhering to the Willpower of the God of Covenant. Previously, I arranged for Nun Maggie to treat the residents’ ’Frostbite Disease,’ but I feel it’s not enough."
Chen Lun’s face showed Mercy.
"Honestly speaking, I love this place, whether it’s the serene environment or the harmonious atmosphere in which people live... Unfortunately, due to natural disasters, there’s still many impoverished people suffering from cold. More than once I have seen children in tattered clothes wandering the streets, nearly freezing to death."
He spoke and then looked directly at Farik, his smile calm.
"So I plan to donate a hundred thousand Gold Pounds in the name of the Generous Council to Cold Leaf City for building schools, hospitals, and shelters. What does Your Majesty Farik think?"
Farik fell silent first.
He unobtrusively exchanged a glance with Suraya, seeing the surprise in each other’s eyes.
As Saints, neither of them lacked money, but the other’s casual donation of a hundred thousand Gold Pounds for charity truly surprised them.
This is not a small amount!
"Your Majesty Jack, I admire your Mercy and generosity... I think it’s a good thing and, on behalf of Cold Leaf City’s residents, I extend my gratitude to you."
Farik placed his right hand on his left chest and lightly bowed to Chen Lun.
"You truly are worthy of being the Governing Officer of the Generous Council. Praise the Covenant."
Half an hour later.
Farik and Suraya left the Generous Church.
Along the way, Suraya teased with a smile:
"So? Did you achieve your goal today?"
Farik first froze, then shook his head with a bitter smile.
After a few seconds of silence, He stopped, turned back to look at the tall but simple church, as if He could feel a pair of eyes calmly watching Him.
He knew in His heart that from the very beginning, the other party might have already known His purpose, but used extremely subtle and gentle means to express their attitude.
"Forget it..."
Farik let out a long sigh.
"I can’t be bothered with Jack’s affairs anymore. I hope He is truly a seeker, as you said, one who yearns for stability."

Byron Kingdom.
Enlightenment Port, Saint Byron Academy.
On a bright afternoon, although the temperature had not risen, it still put people in a good mood.
On the academy lawn, a temporary picnic spot was set up. Five students, including Polaris, Lucy, and Asoka, were having a gathering and chatting.
"Senior Polaris, your steak is ready."
Lucy was placing a well-cooked steak onto a plate, smiling as she held it up to show.
"Thank you."
Polaris walked over with large strides, thanked her after taking the plate.
"Lucy, your cooking skills are really impressive, the steak is beautifully grilled!"
Sunny Xiaoyu held up a fork, with sauce still on the corner of her mouth, complimenting with a smile.
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior... Asoka, this is yours."
Lucy responded with a smile, then placed a grilled fish onto a plate, handing it to the quietly waiting girl beside her, who politely thanked her and walked to the table with the plate.
"Guys, I have always had a question."
Felisiano stood by the grill, gnawing on a rib while raising his eyes to speak.
The others turned their attention towards him. He chewed on the meat, showing a curious expression.
"Does anyone know how strong Professor Jack is? As far as I know, Principal Hugo is the strongest in the academy, a great Saint, and among the other professors, Professors Janian and Jeffries are both recognized strong individuals. Of course, Vice Principal Stanley and Dean Julie are also very powerful..."
Felisiano commented on the professors one by one, with admiration in his eyes.
Lucy looked up at him but kept her mouth shut.
"Teacher... once threatened a Saint."
Asoka raised her head, hesitated, and said cautiously.
"Hmm?"
Felisiano looked at her in surprise.
However, Asoka did not speak further and kept her head down, eating the grilled fish in small bites. Just as Felisiano wanted to ask more, Sunny Xiaoyu couldn’t hold back any longer. She put down her fork and with a mysterious air, said:
"I know just how strong Teacher is!"
Besides Polaris who glanced at her speechlessly, Lucy, Asoka, and Felisiano all looked at her, seemingly very curious.
Sunny Xiaoyu looked around, then said in a deep voice:
"Let me tell you, even Principal Hugo might not be a match for Teacher Jack... He’s also a high-level Saint, and when He takes action, He’s more terrifying than anyone. I’ve seen Teacher kill people with my own eyes, killing hundreds or even thousands in one go!"
"Senior, you must be joking, right..."
Felisiano’s hand shook, causing a bone to accidentally fall to the ground. He quickly bent down to pick it up, forcing a smile.
"I swear by the God of Covenant!"
Sunny Xiaoyu said earnestly.
"You all should know about the Red Calamity in the Tresor Empire, right? It was Teacher who single-handedly killed ’Lafa’, one of the Ten Cores of the Red Apple Church’s Blood Abbey, ending that turmoil... At that time, there were at least several hundred thousand church members who died at His hands!"
"Hiss..."
Felisiano took a deep breath, feeling a chill all over his body. Asoka, sitting nearby, had a similar reaction, her small head shrinking into her cloak and scarf, with her exposed eyes showing panic.
But Lucy wasn’t scared. Instead, she showed a proud and admiring smile, her cheeks blushing, lost in thought.
At this moment, Polaris couldn’t stand it anymore and frowned as he said:
"Don’t listen to her, Teacher isn’t that scary."
Felisiano and Asoka froze and secretly sighed in relief.
"I knew it, Professor is such a gentle person, how could..."
"Teacher at most only killed tens of thousands of church members."
Polaris explained seriously.
"..."
Felisiano’s smile stiffened, while Asoka’s big eyes suddenly filled with mist, seemingly about to shed tears.
"Ahem, I... I think the ingredients seem to be running out. I’ll go get some more, you guys, you guys wait for me, I’ll be right back."
Felisiano stammered, turned around shaking, almost slipping and falling to the ground.
