Chapter 280: Chapter 241 Contradiction

"...!"

As soon as the words were uttered, Xiao Yi swiftly walked toward Hele!

Hele, of course, had long noticed Xiao Yi’s approach, but he merely watched him coldly, showing not the slightest emotion.

"...Xiao Yi! Don’t be impulsive!"

Seeing Xiao Yi’s actions, Carl quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"Calm down!" Carl urged, "The majority of people here are from the Church Court, and the civilians present are on their side. We’re simply no match for them! Acting rashly won’t yield anything but will make it impossible for us to move at all."

At the same time, others also took notice of the situation.

Guards and Judges all gathered around Hele.

"..." After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi glared at Hele again and spoke, "You... you schemed against me. From the very beginning, you never intended to hold a formal trial. You deceived me to ensure the execution went unobstructed."

"...Put away your needless compassion," Hele said in his usual chilly demeanor, addressing Xiao Yi, "What’s there is no longer human but a sacrifice to the Evil God, bound to bring disaster, and thus... must be eradicated! It’s all for the safety of everyone."

Xiao Yi glared at him and spoke softly, "...Spewing such nonsense, who can understand it?"

And though Carl was relatively calm, his expression at the moment was far from pleasant.

Thus, Carl also looked at Hele, coldly challenging him:

"Hele, you’ve forsaken your faith. You’ve defied the Church Court’s regulations and carried out an execution on your own. Doesn’t this scorn the majesty of God? Isn’t this the greatest disrespect to the God you believe in?"

"Not at all," Hele walked towards them slowly and said, "The rules and regulations are fundamentally made for humans. However, what’s there can no longer be called human, but a real threat to people’s safety, a monster. Would you put a wild beast that attacks people in the town on trial? To deal with peculiar monsters, special measures are necessary; hence, I’ve not broken any regulations."

"Tsk..." Carl couldn’t help but click his tongue, "Such sophistry... No, I should have realized this earlier. Hele, you’re a man who will stop at nothing to achieve your goals. Faith, divine rights, they’re nothing but stepping stones for you!"

"It seems you’re not very calm either. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear your slander." Hele continued, "Everyone present has the ability to discern right from wrong. Besides you, who else is questioning the legitimacy of this trial? If anything, it’s you who have lost your reason."

As Hele finished speaking, Xiao Yi and Carl felt a tremendous hostility.

In the eyes of the people, they intended to shield followers of the Evil God, to protect that monster, naturally hostility arose.

Hele then threatened in a low voice, "If you continue to speak for that woman, you might also be considered accomplices by everyone, right? In that case, you might end up sharing the same fate as that woman, so I truly hope you will come to your senses and think calmly... May God bless you."

"..." Xiao Yi and Carl understood that, surrounded by people on all sides, they were at a great disadvantage, and so... they could only respond with silence.

However, just at that moment, an unexpected person arrived.

"Excuse me, please make way!"

A petite figure squeezed through the crowd; it was none other than Gladys!

"What...!" Carl was taken aback!

Although Carl had told Gladys to stay at the church, how could she possibly stay put after hearing the conversation between Carl and Xiao Yi?

Right after that, Gladys saw it... the charred corpse.

"Ah... Ah..."

Even Gladys, upon seeing such a scene, could discern what had happened.

"...Dead." Gladys looked at the charred corpse, her lips quivering as she murmured, "Is Sister Letti... dead?"

"Tess..." Carl was next to his daughter, not daring to look at her face, and simply said, "It’s better... not to look."

"Ah... Ah, sob... Letti... Sister."

Inside Gladys, the sound of a heart beating thunderously arose; although her eyes were open, all she could see was murky darkness, and she could see no more.

"..." Following the darkness that engulfed her vision, Gladys’s body also lost its strength, and she collapsed uncontrollably to the ground.

"Tess!" Carl hurried to catch her.

"...Dad." Gladys quickly regained consciousness and clutched Carl’s sleeve, pleading in a trembling voice, "Dad... lower Sister Letti, please. Don’t let her... be burned by the fire anymore, it’s painful..."

Speaking, Gladys’s voice was already choked with sobs and tears.

"It’s enough... Please don’t make her suffer any longer..."

Saying so, Gladys had already stood up and walked toward the once named Letticia, the charred corpse.

But the Church Court officials immediately blocked her.

"Wait! Step back!"

"Without permission, the body must not be touched! And this is the body of an Evil God follower! Who knows if there’s some terrifying contingency!"

"How can you do this..." Gladys looked at them, begging, "Please, I just want to bury her, to let her rest in peace, not to suffer this pain anymore."

"My daughter is right," Carl also stepped forward and said, "I won’t allow you to defile her body any longer. Please hand over the remains to us, let us bury her in this land, let her rest in peace."
