Karun helped Mrs. Annie clean up the body, but he couldn't do the meticulous makeup like Aunt Mary.
Alfred set up the formation in the downstairs bathroom, put Mrs. Annie inside, and activated the formation. It was a simple formation that could beautify and prevent decay.
After finishing these tasks, Karun looked at the time and realized it was already morning.
"Young master, do you want to rest?"
Karun shook his head and looked towards the direction of the study upstairs. "I could have rested for a bit."
Karun did not have the urgent psychological burden of finding the place earlier to rescue them. However, Mr. Pavarotti was now in the final countdown of his life. Making him sit in the study and wait for them to sleep seemed a bit cruel.
"Can you still hold on?" Karun asked.
"Young master, please rest assured of my energy."
"Then I'll take a nap in the car."
Karun went upstairs, pushed the door open, and entered the study. Mr. Pavarotti was sitting behind the desk.
"Do you want to continue investigating with us?" Karun asked.
"I want to go."
Pavarotti's answer was straightforward, and he also revealed his hands, where two black flames appeared on his palms.
"I am not very mobile now, but I can still be useful."
"Okay."
"Thank you, oh, sorry, I shouldn't be so polite."
Exhausted Puerh and Kevin stayed at home to rest, Alfred carried Mr. Pavarotti downstairs and sat in the back seat of the car, while Karun sat in the passenger seat.
The car started and headed to the Tadel family's textile factory.
Along the way, Mr. Pavarotti kept looking out the window. "Under different moods, the scenery seen is indeed different."
"I have paper and a pen here. If you want, you can write poetry."
"I don't have that talent, and I don't want to join in the fun. The world is already overloaded with poets, and I don't want to squeeze in."
"Hehe."
Karun rested his forehead against the car window, thinking in his mind.
Did Mr. Pavarotti see the scenes of his own enlightenment and pastoralism because he experienced some kind of mark left by enlightenment and pastoralism that echoed with his own beliefs?
Count Raycal didn't see these things at the time... He himself didn't see the scene of Count Raycal awakening the family's belief system and praising the ancestor like he did this time.
So, is it because both he and Mr. Pavarotti believe in order?Karun subconsciously rubbed his forehead and asked, "Mr. Pavaro."
"Yes?"
"After seeing those images of mine, why do you still think I am an 'adult'?"
Karun believed in Mr. Pavaro's "character", as he had sacrificed himself for "justice" in his position.
"Because I only saw the images of your divine awakening and divine herding. I thought they were your past memories, huh?"
At this point, Mr. Pavaro himself became doubtful and thought back, before saying, "In that image, I saw you... I did see you and heard your inner monologue. But now that I think about it, the you in the image didn't have a face... no, there was a face, but I can't remember it. I don't think there was anything different about your face, but I just can't recall it."
Alfred, who was driving, asked, "Isn't it exactly the same as the young master's face?"
"It's exactly the same," confirmed Mr. Pavaro. "But in the image I saw, the face existed and didn't exist."
"Hahaha."
Alfred suddenly laughed, then became serious and said in a mature, hoarse voice like a broadcaster, "God, cannot be looked at directly!"
Mr. Pavaro curiously asked Alfred, "What do you believe in?"
"The church."
"I know it's the church, the Principle Theology Church, right?"
"Cough cough, the church I believe in is still relatively small in size."
Alfred felt embarrassed to say that the church only had one follower - himself.
Karun, in the passenger seat, was thinking about Mr. Pavaro's words just now. The image he described matched a scene from his own memory, when he purified and saw the God of Order walking out of nothingness. At that time, he also couldn't remember the face of the God of Order.
After listening to Mr. Pavaro's prayer, he saw his own "thought" image. It was not a one-way street, but a cycle.
As the textile factory was located in the Blue Bridge community, it was not far away, so Alfred stopped the car in advance.
"Young master?"
"Bite your tongue," said Karun.
"Okay, young master."
Alfred opened the car door and as he got out, Karun sighed, "The sun is nice today."
"Yes, young master, it's a great sun."
Alfred laughed and walked towards the factory wall.
Mr. Pavaro, sitting in the back seat, was a bit doubtful, "Is it that straightforward?"
"Yes."Alfred would directly enter the factory and hypnotize the core management for questioning, which was the simplest and most efficient way. As for whether it would leave any traces that would alert the other party, it was inevitable.
But there was no need to be afraid or worried, just praise the light;
Because light is always the natural enemy of darkness!
Karun believed that with the help of Elder Duoke, they could handle it.
"Do you know Lema?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Just a feeling," Pavaro said.
"Perhaps there is a chance that he can help me."
"That's great, maybe this is also the best result for my family. You also value family, young master Karun. I could feel it when you mentioned your grandfather before."
"Not only my grandfather, but also my uncles, aunts, and cousins, are my most cherished family members. I have a warm and cozy home in Roja City."
"I do too. My two daughters are very sensible. It's all my fault, really. If I could have checked a few more times, or if I could have pursued the demon a little later or earlier, my two daughters wouldn't have been contaminated like this. I'm not a qualified father. My wife, who used to be very gentle, was also caused by me. Thank you, Karun, for helping me take responsibility. If this matter can be successfully completed, it means that Tilsruk and the Lord of Descriptions will be exposed for their evil deeds, and their fate will be miserable. And I, who should have died, will be normal, haha. Because no one will believe the words of a heinous criminal who says that he died and was killed by my own hands!"
"People are more willing to believe that justice ultimately prevails over evil. For the Order of the Gods, removing the rotten flesh within themselves, preferably members of the Order of the Gods, is the best way to treat a funeral as a wedding."
"It sounds very promising. Heh, I didn't use to talk like this, or even like this way of doing things and thinking."
"Perhaps it's because of the reason of having died once. It's inevitable to indulge in oneself a little. I had an acquaintance who was like this."
"I see."
"I'll take a nap. Can you watch over me?"
"Sure, I don't need to rest now."
Karun leaned his chair back and lay down to really sleep, completely defenseless against Mr. Pavaro.
Then, Karun really fell asleep.Two hours later, Karun was awakened by Mr. Pavaro. He opened his eyes and looked out the car window to see Alfred walking towards them.
Alfred got into the driver's seat and said directly, "Young master, I caught two managers, one of whom is from the Raphael family. They revealed that a group of female workers will be transferred every once in a while, but they don't know the destination. This process is led by Mr. Tader and his butler with another group of people in charge."
"So, we still need to go to Mr. Tader's house," Karun said. "Do you want me to drive for a while so you can rest?"
"No need, young master. I'm fine," Alfred replied as he started the car.
"If it were me, I would investigate the newly-built factories and buildings in recent years, especially those with underground levels, including underground garages. It may be slower, but it's worth it," Mr. Pavaro suggested.
"I understand, but I find it too slow," Karun said.
"I think your grandfather must have been an impatient person," Mr. Pavaro chuckled.
"Yes, you're right. My grandfather is the most impatient person in the world," Karun replied with a smile.
"Forgive me for asking, but is your grandfather still alive?" Alfred asked.
"Yes, he's alive and well. He's waiting for me to come home," Karun replied.
"When I was questioning them under hypnosis in the office, they kept praising the God of Light, and I also set up a simple Light-based formation to purify the office," Alfred said.
"Are they dead?" Mr. Pavaro asked.
Alfred replied indifferently, "These scumbags don't deserve to live. Both of the managers were informed."
"Are you waiting for them to wake up and question them? Isn't it too simple to just put the blame on the Church of Light?" Mr. Pavaro questioned.
Alfred looked at Karun, but he didn't answer the question. Karun replied directly, "There is a considerable number of remnants of the Church of Light in York City, and they have both quantity and quality."
Mr. Pavaro opened his mouth but took a long time to close it, saying, "You are much smarter than me."
"When you first reported, you had already blocked other paths," Karun said.
"If it were you, would you choose to report when you first discovered the situation?" Mr. Pavaro asked.
"No, I wouldn't," Karun looked out the car window. "If I don't even trust him, how could I trust the people under him?"
...
Tader's villa;
First floor, living room.
The butler, Mu En, was signing with a pen. After signing, he picked up the folder and handed it to the person in front of him."Mr. Steward... Oh no, Mr. Mu En, the inheritance distribution has been basically completed. From now on, including this villa, all of Tader's assets will be transferred to your name."
"I will dedicate everything I have to Raphael!"
"Good, Tader has already disappointed the Raphael family once before, I hope you can be vigilant."
"Of course, of course."
"Make sure it runs smoothly."
"Yes, I understand. However, there is one more thing I need to report to you and ask you to submit to the family."
"Oh, what is it?"
"This is what I found in the secret compartment of the villa, something Tader hid away."
Mr. Mu En opened the box in his hand, inside was a thick stack of letters and three thick, exquisite notebooks.
"Have you read these letters?"
"I dare not hide it from you, I have read them all. I must ensure that what I submit to the family is useful and valuable information."
To read the uncut version, go to [p𝘢wread.com].
"The God of Light..."
"Yes, these letters were all written by Tader to the God of Light."
"Huh, writing letters to a god, where was he planning to send them? The Church of the God of Light has long since disappeared from history."
"So, I think Tader's betrayal was because he was influenced by the Church of the God of Light. In these three notebooks, Tader copied the teachings of the Church of the God of Light himself. He believed that his wife's death and his son's mental problems were the retribution for the evil deeds he had done. So, in the letters, he repeatedly confessed to the God of Light and hoped to atone."
"Is this the reason for his betrayal? You did a good job."
"This is what I should do."
"Check it carefully again. Although the Church of the God of Light has disappeared, the remnants of the God of Light have always existed. He must have come into contact with some of the remnants of the God of Light and been influenced by their ideas."
"I will search and screen, and find the remnants of the God of Light."
"Well, good. I will submit this to the young master and also help you gain credit in front of him."
"Thank you for your cultivation and promotion."
"It's all for the family. Oh, by the way, Tader's son, after psychological treatment, has returned to normal, right?"
"After Tader's death, his old illness recurred. He used to feel that his mother was by his side, but now he has another dead father accompanying him."
"Wait a while and arrange for him to be taken care of. After all, the inheritance has already been notarized."
"Sir, he is still just a child. I watched him grow up.""Ah, don't have this kind of cheap mercy, because it's meaningless. Deal with him earlier so that you can fully accept Tadell's responsibility."
The butler, Mu En, showed a pained and conflicted expression on his face, before finally biting his lip and nodding firmly.
"I'll head back to the family first."
"I'll see you off."
"No need. By the way, the latest batch of goods in a few days will have double the number of people. It's a requirement from above."
"Alright, I'll make sure to arrange it properly."
"Mm, do your job well."
"Take care."
The man walked out of the villa and got into his car. Looking at the box in his hand containing an envelope and a notebook, he muttered to himself:
"So, does the sudden disappearance of Second Young Master have something to do with the remnants of the Bright God Sect?"
...
After the people from the family left, the butler, Mu En, who had originally looked sorrowful, had a cold and stern smile on his lips as he walked towards the bar. He picked up a glass and poured soda into it. Then, he took out two white pills, dropped them into the soda, and swirled it around, watching the pills dissolve.
Afterwards, he carried the glass and walked up the stairs to the third floor.
In the bedroom on the third floor, Little John was curled up in bed, his face showing various emotions such as fear, innocence, cheerfulness, and panic.
He looked to the left and then to the right.
"Daddy, you're so bad. You actually tickled Mommy."
"Hahaha..."
Little John suddenly laughed and rolled around on the bed, shouting:
"Mommy, why did you come to tickle me after Daddy tickled you? Hahaha..."
"Young Master?"
Mu En knocked on the bedroom door, which was already open.
Little John stopped laughing, sat up, and smiled:
"Mommy and Daddy, look, Uncle Mu En is here."
Although the butler, Mu En, knew that this child was a bit mentally unstable, hearing him say this still sent a chill down his spine, as if the deceased Tadell and his wife were sitting beside the bed, watching him.
In fact, Little John had played pranks on many people in the house, maids, butlers, and even his father, but he had never played a prank on the butler, Mu En.
Because he only played games with interesting people, or, it could be said, he only played games with people who were kind to him.
Therefore, this difference in treatment meant that he didn't find Uncle Butler interesting, nor did he think he was...kind.
"Young Master, are you thirsty after playing for so long? Drink this glass of soda."
"I'm not thirsty."
"Hey, drink it and keep playing with Mommy and Daddy, okay?"
Mu En handed the glass to Little John.
Little John looked at him and smiled.
Mu En also smiled. "Drink up, Young Master."Little John nodded and reached out to take the cup, but his hand holding the cup suddenly dodged.
"I want to drink, don't take it away, Uncle Mu'en."
Mu'en widened his eyes because he found that his hand had actually taken the cup back, and at this time, the right hand holding the cup completely did not obey his command.
"Uncle Mu'en, don't take it away, I want to drink."
"Okay, I'll give you a drink."
Steward Mu'en grabbed his right hand with his left hand and tried to force his right hand out, but suddenly, he found that his left hand was also not under his control.
"Uncle Mu'en, did you want to drink?"
"No, I don't want to drink, I'm not thirsty."
"If Uncle wants to drink, then Uncle should drink first. Dad also said to let Uncle drink first."
"No, I don't drink, I don't drink..."
Mu'en widened his eyes and saw his right hand holding the cup and sending it to his mouth, wanting to feed himself. He tightly closed his mouth, but the next moment, his mouth was forcibly opened as if someone was prying it open with their hands, very painful.
"Uncle, Dad said you're thirsty and want to feed you water."
Mu'en's eyes were full of horror. His mouth was forcibly opened, and then this cup of soda was directly poured into his mouth. "Gudong Gudong..."
After the whole cup of soda was poured down, Mu'en found that his body had finally returned to normal. He immediately knelt down and grabbed his throat with his hands, trying to force himself to vomit.
But soon, his mouth began to foam, his body began to convulse, and the poison had already taken effect... he even added two more pills.
"No... no... no..."
Mu'en grabbed his neck with one hand and blindly grabbed forward with the other.
Little John asked with concern, "Uncle Mu'en, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"
"How... how... can this be..." Mu'en asked difficultly.
Little John's smile gradually disappeared from his face, and he answered calmly, "Since the year I secretly hid in my father's car and went to that place, I found that I was a little different."
At this time, another figure appeared at the bedroom door.
When Little John saw the person, his expression first became serious, and then he smiled again. This smile was much more pure and sincere than when he faced Mu'en earlier.
Karun stood at the door with open arms and shouted devoutly, "Praise the Light!"
Little John was stunned and a little confused.
Mu'en, who was unable to breathe due to the rapid onset of the toxin, turned his head hard and looked at Karun standing at the door."Brightness saw your father's loyalty, and his soul has been guided into the bright heaven.
"Now, I'm here to take you away. The place we're going to is a single-family villa with a big yard, and the environment is not worse than your home."
"Thump!"
At this moment, Mu'en had already fallen to the ground, face down, motionless, but his eyes were still blinking, death was only a countdown.
Little John jumped off the bed and walked to Karun, asking in confusion, "Where is that big house?"
Karun took Little John's hand and answered with a smile, "3-07 Apple Street, next to the Piajiajie's house..."
