This Holy Knight is So Despicable!
Chapter 212 - 203: The Sucker Named Sea Clan

Chapter 212: Chapter 203: The Sucker Named Sea Clan

The scene of welcoming the Sea Clan was nothing short of grand!

Although there were no loud gongs and firecrackers, the Flesh Church still specially brought in the city’s only choir to put on a show.

Meanwhile, everyone in Harbor City was gathered to line up and welcome at the port where the Sea Clan landed.

The scene gave quite a scare to the delegation members who had just come ashore.

To be honest, they came here today with the mindset of "at worst, we’ll die here," to welcome the little princess.

The terror of Holy Sin, the Prince had repeatedly complained about it.

After he recounted the stories of the Blood-colored Holy Arrival Day again and again, the delegates even dreamed of this material.

In a daze, it seemed like they were the ones who had been beheaded three years ago.

However, seeing this scene, the Sea Clan nobles were so moved that they cried.

So heartwarming! It’s like a bowl of hot soup in a cold winter blizzard, finally giving them the courage to proceed to the City Lord Mansion.

Along the way, the enthusiastic crowd waved small flags.

The Sea Clan nobles warmly waved back at the crowd, and some even began to reflect on whether they had been too harsh on land creatures over the years.

Perhaps, a harmonious relationship between sea and land is possible?

Today marks a beautiful beginning!

With such feelings, they arrived in front of the City Lord Mansion’s gate. Milgard, one of the Flesh Church’s White Paper Fans, was waiting with a smile for the Sea Clan representatives.

"Welcome, welcome! My name is Milgard Cross, representing the Flesh Church, welcoming you all!

Our boss, the great Church Ancestor Mr. Wright, is waiting for you inside the castle!"

"Oh? Really? Is the Flesh Church a new sect of the Holy Light Church?"

"No, no, no, we are an independent sect, a legitimate heresy sect approved by the Holy Light Church."

The head of the delegation, a member of the Sea Emperor Clan, had some acquaintance with the high echelons of the Holy Light Church and knew a bit about human affairs.

But just now, he was still bewildered by the powerful and majestic young man before him.

A legitimate heresy sect?

Don’t quite understand you land creatures!

"Ah, ah! I see, hahahahaha..."

The head, Haitina, suddenly remembered the Prince’s advice that when everything is associated with Holy Sin, anything impossible becomes quite possible.

Don’t be surprised, don’t be curious, don’t care, or you’ll easily get entangled.

"Well then, shall we head inside now!"

"No rush, no rush!"

Milgard handed a stack of papers to Haitina.

"Mr. Head of the delegation, this is the bill for your recent expenses. Please settle it first before we provide you with the next service."

"Bill, settle, next service?"

Haitina was once again confused by the words, as other Sea Clan members quickly gathered around him.

It’s amazing what you find when you look!

The bill listed fees for extras, flag production, orchestra performance, choir performance, venue rental, approval fees, decoration deposit, additional cleaning fees...

The total of these various fees added up to a whopping three million Gold Marks for the delegation!

Haitina looked at the bill, then at the smiling young man.

"What do you mean by this?"

"Expenses! What you just experienced were all paid services! Surely you didn’t think Sea Clan’s reputation on land would attract such enthusiastic crowds and grand scenes!"

Haitina was taken aback. He knew there shouldn’t be any, but was it really okay to say such things so blatantly?

Forfeiting our face, are you doing the same? Perish together?

"But we never requested these services! This is coercive selling!"

One of the Sea Clan argued, as 300,000 Gold Marks was not a small amount!

The main issue was the money was spent unnecessarily and begrudgingly!

It wouldn’t look good back home either.

Oh, we sent you to bring back the little princess, and you squandered so much for a show? Really?

"You can’t do this; we are a delegation!"

"Oh! Right, you are a delegation!"

Milgard smacked his forehead as if he suddenly remembered something: "Damn, look at my brain, truly damn."

Seeing this, the hearts of the Sea Clan slightly relaxed.

Exactly, this must be a misunderstanding.

How could anyone charge a delegation for such things, it’s utterly absurd!

Just as everyone was excitedly thinking the other side would offer it for free, Milgard leaned in mysteriously and handed Haitina a small note.

"This is... what?"

Haitina confusedly took it and upon opening it, saw a word written in bold.

[Invoice]

Below it, the expense item was stationary, with a big official seal of the Flesh Church stamped on it.

More irritating was the amount listed as 500,000 Gold Marks!

"Our Church Ancestor mentioned this is for you to submit for reimbursement when you return."

Milgard winked: "Rest assured, we won’t disclose anything."

Gripping the invoice, Haitina was seething with anger, cursing himself for being so unlucky to take on such a task.

He also hated himself for shamefully being tempted just now!

It has to be said, you land dwellers have a fierce way of moneymaking! Even common pirates can’t compare.

"If we don’t settle, what happens?"

"Then you’d have to return the way you came. This bill will also be sent to your Sea Palace.

If the Sea Palace refuses to pay, we would only have to sell the bonds."

"Well then, can we pay in Sea Coins?"

"Of course, but it would have to be equivalent Sea Coins. By my estimation, you’d need to bring out a massive amount of Sea Coins like three towering mountains to cover it!

Didn’t expect you legendary Sea Clan to carry so many Sea Coins with you."

Haitina gritted his teeth: "Gold Mark, I’ll pay for this."

"Head! Please reconsider!"

"Yes, Head! After paying this, who knows what preposterous charges await us!"

"Fools, do you think we have a choice?"

After Haitina roared, all the opposing voices fell silent.

Sighing helplessly, he carefully put away the slip called an invoice that was given to him.

Haitina sneered at the White Paper Fan: "Friend, earlier you mentioned this wasn’t a compulsory expense, we could refuse, right?"

"Of course, but refuse before starting."

"Fine! We refuse all the upcoming services!"

Haitina took out a Blue Crystal Card: "We won’t fall for the same trick twice!"

Milgard’s expression remained unchanged, still smiling.

He took out a Purple Crystal Card from his pocket and placed it over the other’s card, smoothly swiping away three million Gold Marks.

"Now, can we proceed to the next service?"

"Certainly! Brothers in the castle, open the gates!"

The castle doors slowly opened, revealing an empty interior without any decorations or arrangements.

It seemed no proper staging or crowd was prepared inside the castle, starkly contrasting with the joyous ocean scene below, a testament to simplicity.

In truth, nothing substantial was prepared inside for expenses.

They were just certain the Sea Clan wouldn’t continue giving Wright and others a chance to make money.

So, they aimed for blood and flesh straight from the start.

The delegation head, who was just smug over his astuteness, instantly turned as dark as sea cucumbers.

Nevertheless, everyone still managed to enter the castle.

Led by the White Paper Fan, they crossed through quiet corridors to the castle’s backyard.

This place had been transformed into a natural swimming pool where the Little Mermaid was joyfully swimming at the moment.

Seeing the arrival of the Sea Clan, she happily leapt out of the water.

"Uncle Haitina, everyone, have you come to take me home? That’s wonderful!"

Haitina forced a smile: "Gretel, my little princess. Do you know, we just..."

He wanted to speak of the extortion they just faced but decided to keep it to himself after some thought.

Such matters are silently endured.

After all, the man saved the little princess’s life.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he’s a benefactor to the entire Sea Clan.

In times like this, quibbling over money with a benefactor is quite undignified.

The most important point: that man was watching him with a smile!

Though there was no hint of malice, it sent shivers through him, filling him with cold dread.

"Welcome everyone, truly, welcome. Did you enjoy the welcoming ceremony along the way?"

"Enjoyed! Enjoyed! Lord Holy Sin really put in thought. Just didn’t expect it to be so... costly."

Lette waved his hand: "Ah, what’s costly about it, I’ve heard you Sea Clan have been tossing Sea Coin showers lately.

The entire ocean is full of endless Sea Coins.

Sea Clan being so rich, spending this little sum, what’s the big deal?"

Now Haitina couldn’t even care to be angry, he was astounded.

Clearly, two dastardly deeds reeking of smoke were orchestrated by the man in front of him.

Yet how could he speak of them so lightly?

The key point was, two malicious acts against the Sea Clan somehow formed a self-consistent logic.

As a result, he executed the deeds, reaped the benefits, and still managed to say everything!

The Sea Clan landed in silent ridicule without any valid stand, truly remarkable.

"Lord Wright, if there’s no other matter, we intend to take the little princess back with us.

Thank you for your care these days, the Sea Clan will never forget your kindness.

We have also prepared a grand gift for you, to be delivered in a couple of days."

Unexpectedly, Lette raised his hand, "Take her, of course, but isn’t this a bit too simple?

After all, Gretel is a princess, do you wish for her to conjure legs to walk with you, or hop along the way?"

Haitina dared not retort; wasn’t the exchange location your choice?

If you chose the port, none of this would happen!

While speaking, Lette clapped, and a luxurious carriage made of coral reefs and giant seashells pulled up in front of the Sea Clan.

Seeing the stunned Sea Clan members, Lette flashed a reassuring smile.

"How about it, want to rent my carriage? Don’t worry, I’ll invoice it as stationary purchases."
