Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Below the Holy Rank, All are Ants (Please Follow)

The fish have come, but they didn’t take the bait immediately.

On the bustling streets, Lette could still sense the faint killing intent.

Clearly, the other party wanted to use the presence of many ordinary citizens as cover.

Firstly, to hide their movements and intentions, and secondly, to gamble that Lette would hesitate to act recklessly to protect civilians.

But Lette’s infamous reputation meant these people only dared to circle around the outskirts, not daring to get too close.

Seeing this, Lette wasn’t in a hurry and continued to stroll casually along the street.

Thanks to Lilith and the efforts of the other two, the thirty-six members of the Holy Rose Knights have now been split into more than a dozen smaller groups.

Some groups were in twos and threes, others were alone. They wandered through the bustling streets, and their once withered and sealed maiden hearts gradually began to awaken.

Seizing this opportunity, Lette would appear beside them when necessary. With his influence, he offered better and more superior conveniences to the young women.

Like a piece of clothing but can’t afford it? Buy it! Wrap up these few too! This is my friend, be sure to take special care when they visit again!

The limited edition desserts sold out? Make some more! Have the kitchen whip up their specialties. Besides for yourself, take them back for your sisters to try!

Cosmetics too expensive? Wrap them up! Where’s your boss lady? Have her come out and say there’s a VIP present! Have her help tailor the most professional skincare plan for these girls!

While providing privileges for the girls of Holy Rose, Lette also chatted with them.

Having received such generous benefits, the girls found it hard to refuse. Although initially wary, unfortunately...

Gossip is the fourth instinct of humans!

Moreover, Lette had many ways.

Initially, he didn’t ask the Holy Rose for information, but instead, he gave! Gave generously!

He provided a wealth of intelligence and secrets, which included details about the high-ups of the Church Court, the past embarrassing stories of Apprentice Saints, and touching, inspirational stories about this street’s growth from nothing to prosperity!

People have an innate desire to share, and kind-hearted people can easily feel indebted.

After Lette’s strategic approach, he quickly became a close friend with the girls, sharing everything!

Keep in mind, Vanessa is the Princess of the First Empire, born with a silver spoon.

But the girls of the Holy Rose Knights mostly came from humble backgrounds, reaching their current positions through their talents and hard work.

Truthfully, Lette had more common ground with them.

After all, among all the Apprentice Saints, Lette’s background was the most humble, a complete nobody with unknown origins, not to mention parents or relatives, not even acquaintances.

Yet, he had risen step by step to become someone just below the Pope.

His life story was very inspiring to those from impoverished backgrounds. He treated everyone kindly, with no biases about so-called noble bloodlines, so he chatted easily with everyone.

Once the conversation got going, with just a little guidance, the girls would openly share the information Lette sought.

In no time, by the end of the morning, he had extracted all the intelligence about the Holy Rose Knights.

Having acquired the information he wanted, Lette found an opportunity to rendezvous with Lilith.

Lette took Lilith to a café, ordered two drinks, and started the conversation.

"How’s it on your side?"

"Very smoothly. These young ladies aren’t as guarded... Rather, long-term isolated training has heightened their combat vigilance greatly.

But their caution in life is almost negligible.

If there were any unscrupulous merchants on this street, they could easily be coaxed into bankruptcy after one round of shopping.

There’s a lot of intelligence, but one thing is clear. They... don’t know anything about Vanessa’s dealings with the remnants of the truth."

Lette nodded: "That’s the conclusion on my side as well. They only learned about the Light Holy Dragon matter after setting off.

I guess Vanessa is somewhat apprehensive of them as well.

Though she’s the commander, Holy Rose belongs to the Holy Knight Order, not the First Empire.

In the end, their loyalty to Vanessa isn’t because she’s a princess, but because she’s also one of the Apprentice Saintesses.

Hence, for matters opposing the Church, she keeps things from the knights whenever possible.

This is also beneficial, allowing them to cleanly break ties with Vanessa."

After Lette finished speaking, he clapped his hands, drank the coffee brought by the waiter in one gulp, and began stretching his arms.

"Lilith, keep an eye on the two, I’m off to take care of business."

"In such a hurry?"

"I’ve waited so long, and they show no sign of attacking. No choice, since they’re not coming, I’ll have to go to them."

As he spoke, Lette’s spiritual power erupted instantly, enveloping the entire large commercial street, and effortlessly pinpointing five individuals harboring killing intent towards him.

By the time these individuals sensed something was wrong and tried to turn and flee, it was already too late.

A series of Holy Light silently bloomed within their bodies, and in just a moment, they’d lost control over their bodies, standing motionlessly in place.

Lette chose the only fifth-level master among the five and walked towards him slowly.

"You haven’t even reached the Holy Rank, haven’t comprehended the Holy Domain, yet you dare to come assassinate me?

Who said your Tower of Truth didn’t understand humor?

Below the Holy Rank, in my eyes, you’re just ants.

Stop struggling; the muscle mass at the back of your necks has rapidly swelled, crushing your spines.

Medically speaking, it’s high-level paraplegia.

The usage of Holy Healing Technique·Revised is quite miraculous, isn’t it?

Don’t try to resist, or else the blood vessels in your brains might act up. Stay quietly and perhaps I’ll give you a swift end later on."

Lette reached the fifth-level expert, helped him sit on a bench by the road, and placed a hand on the back of his head.

"Last time when that Alchemist came for laughs, I demonstrated my spiritual power coverage. Why does your leader still send you to your deaths?

Or is it that they’re using the lives of you five as a special invitation?

Indeed, the Tower of Truth doesn’t skimp!"

As his fingers made contact with the back of the opponent’s head, Lette forcibly extracted the information from the individual’s mind.

Regarding soul memory, his skills couldn’t match those of Lilith, an Enchanting Demon. Using it always resulted in soul destruction for the recipient.

Generally, before a conviction, Lilith would be the one handling soul information extraction. But now, since they’re enemies, Lette held nothing back.

"Underwater... Hmm... Such a hospitable invitation, how could I possibly miss this slaughter party?"

Lette conjured a Holy Crow and sent a message to the nearby Holy New Army patrol, instructing them to handle the five people before he left the commercial street on his own.

In a deserted alley, Lette transformed into a stream of light, shot straight to the sky, and in an instant, reached beyond the city walls.

He glanced at the moat of the Holy City, then followed the river upstream.

Before long, a vast lake appeared before him. The water shone brightly, and the breeze was refreshing.

Lette snapped his fingers, and a powerful beam instantly carved a path straight through the lake to its bottom.

Visible to the naked eye, there was a massive hall hidden at the lake’s bottom, protected by a thin magic barrier.

"Found you..."
