"You've misunderstood me, Father. Although the Palmyra Sect is not part of the Grand Church, its sect leader is not easy to become.

The necessary process before becoming the sect leader is to enter the Palmyra Sect's 'Messenger Space', receive its inheritance baptism, and be infused with the insights and memories of past sect leaders.

If you really go through this process, Delius, will you still be you?"

"Are you doubting my loyalty to the God of Order?"

"It's not that I doubt your loyalty to the God of Order, it's just that at that time, you were no longer Delius. In fact, you couldn't even be considered a person."

"So, Father, do I still need to thank you for rescuing me in time when I was still myself?"

"You are my son and a loyal believer of the Church of God. Whether as a father or as a bishop of the Church, I will do my best to protect you."

"Hehe..."

Delius released his grip on Bishop Burn's collar and walked back to the sofa, sitting down.

Bishop Burn continued, "The negotiations will proceed normally. You still need to treat yourself as a true Palmyra Sect godson and strive for as much autonomy for the Palmyra Sect as possible in this merger. When the negotiation treaty is recognized by those old guys in the Palmyra Sect and the 'Messenger Space' is opened to the Order Temple of my Church, your sacred mission will be truly accomplished.

Your name, your contribution, and your figure will all be left in the history of the Church."

"I don't need you to say that. I know what to do."

"Well, I have always had confidence in your abilities."

Bishop Burn looked at Karun and said, "I should leave now."

"Okay, Your Excellency."

Karun helped Bishop Burn open the door and accompanied him to the elevator. While waiting for the elevator, Karun thought Bishop Burn would have something to remind him of, such as confidentiality, but he didn't.

The elevator door opened, revealing Richard's figure.

Bishop Burn walked into the elevator and the elevator door closed.

When Karun returned to the door of the room, he saw Pei Nuo standing there. "Sorry, Karun, you need to go over there again. The food and drinks have arrived."

"Is the team leader responsible for this?" Karun asked.

"Yes, this is the procedure, but don't worry, the food and drinks that were sent up have already been checked by the team leader and others. You just need to guide them. Last time it was Vani who did it, this time, it's your turn, team leader."

Karun nodded and walked back to the elevator. The elevator door opened, and Richard pushed the meal cart out, handing it over to Karun with great solemnity, as if he was handing over a sacred artifact.

"Be observant and don't slack off." Karun added some drama for him.

"Yes, understood!"

Richard walked into the elevator with firm steps, turned around with a snap, and stood upright.

Karun pushed the meal cart into Delius's room and saw Delius sitting on the sofa, lost in thought.

It seems he doesn't have much of an appetite.

If this godson really said that, Karun would not hesitate to push the meal cart back to his own room.

"The food is here. Please enjoy, sir."

Delius stood up, walked to the meal cart, picked up a bottle of red wine from the bottom, opened it with a corkscrew, and then sat back on the sofa.

"Have a drink with me. I'm not used to drinking with women.""I'm sorry, but I can't drink alcohol during the mission. I can use other beverages as a substitute," said Karun.

Darius nodded and said, "Okay."

Karun took two glasses from the cabinet and placed one in front of Darius for him to pour wine, while he added ice and water to the other glass.

Darius took a sip of wine, shook the red wine glass, and looked at Karun, saying, "I envy you."

"Envy me for openly praising the Order?"

"Yes," Darius sighed, "It's a dream I've had for nearly twenty years. I can stand in public with my hands on my chest and shout loudly, 'Praise the Order.'"

Then, Darius flicked the wine glass with his fingertips, and it made a crisp sound. "Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"No, what we take for granted may be what others dream of. It's quite common," Karun replied seriously.

"Well, my identity as a godson is something many people would envy. Do you envy me?" Darius asked.

Karun replied solemnly, "Are you doubting my loyalty to the God of Order?"

"No, I'm not," Darius put his hand on his forehead. He had only taken a sip of wine, but he looked drunk. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have answered you like that. Actually, I admire you and your sacrifices."

"Really?"

"Yes, I believe the great God of Order will see your efforts. After all, his gaze is everywhere."

Darius sighed and put the wine glass on the coffee table. "I'm tired."

"That's it? Don't you want to drink and chat with me? Is our conversation finished?" Karun thought his response was appropriate.

"In that case, rest well," Karun stood up and added, "Please consider your health and eat something."

"I can't eat. I just want to rest."

"In that case, I'll push the cart out so that the smell won't affect your sleep."

Darius nodded.

Karun pushed the food cart out.

"Ah ha!" Pei Nuo watched Karun pushing the cart out and said, "You still keep this tradition."

Fanny walked over, looked at the food on the cart, and said, "The menu is really high-end."

The menu must have been based on the guests' identities.

Since Bishop Bern didn't specifically instruct him to keep it a secret, Karun told Fanny and Pei Nuo what he saw and heard earlier.

"It's surprising that the godson of Palmyra's Church is one of us," Pei Nuo said emotionally.

"That's probably the terrifying thing about our church," Fanny said.

Karun noticed that Fanny used the adjective "terrifying" in her words, which should have been a positive adjective like "powerful."

But it was normal. The atmosphere of Neo Squad was not pure.

"What's even more strange is that the bishop didn't ask me to keep it a secret," Karun said, expressing his confusion.

"Because it's unnecessary. This godson will definitely not leave the hotel. Even if he requests to leave, it will be rejected. And we cannot leave Ankara Hotel until the negotiation is successfully completed," Fanny explained."Besides, our team's contact with the outside world must have been interrupted."

At this moment, Peina touched the blue shell hanging on her ear and said, "The captain has given the order for the team to remain silent."

This explained everything. Just like Darius, their team was also imprisoned during the negotiation period and would only be released when the negotiations were over. Therefore, Archbishop Burne did not need to ask them to keep secrets since everyone who knew was already in this hotel.

When the negotiations were over and the messenger space opened to the Order Temple, it meant that they had completely gained the core of the Pamelais Church and no longer needed to worry about its fickleness.

"So this mission is very easy," Karun smiled.

"That's why the security mission is so welcomed by the Order Whip team," Fanny said. "After all, there are only a few like Miss Ophelia who have a need to go out during the mission."

Karun took a shower in the bathroom and changed into the hotel's pajamas before lying on the bed. Peina and Fanny sat face to face by the floor-to-ceiling window drinking juice, but Karun smelled a strong alcohol scent. The two women poured alcohol into the juice bottle, so it didn't violate the security regulations.

However, this was normal. Since they couldn't go out on a mission, their team was in a silent state and the team captain and others were protecting the floor. Their personal security team had nothing to do, so drinking some alcohol was not a big deal.

If there was any danger, it would have to be an attack on the entire Ankara hotel.

Karun closed his eyes. Although he slept most of the day, he still felt sleepy now. When he woke up, he looked at the clock and realized he had only slept for three hours. Although it was still a while until dawn, he was already fully energized and couldn't sleep anymore.

When he got up, he put his hand on a soft spot and looked down. Sure enough, he had placed his hand on Peina's buttocks, who was sleeping next to him. Karun withdrew his hand, covered her with the blanket, and got out of bed.

Fanny, who was on watch, was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When she saw Karun wake up, she smiled and said, "You don't need to stay up, my team leader."

"I can't sleep."

Karun sat down on the sofa.

"Then can I go to bed?"

"Yeah, go ahead."

Fanny put down the newspaper, walked to Karun's side, bent down, and rubbed her nose against his face, saying, "Do you know that last time we stayed here, Peina and I teased you like a little pony?"

"And now?"

"Now we're teasing you like a wild wolf, and it feels different. Last time it was fun, but this time it's exciting."

After Fanny finished speaking, she took off the blue shell from her ear and put it on Karun's ear.

Karun smiled, picked up the water glass on the coffee table, took a sip, and then picked up the newspaper that Fanny had just put down, asking, "By the way, why is the dining car still here?"

"The captain said they don't need an extra meal today." Fanny said as she got into bed.

After about two hours, the outside of the floor-to-ceiling windows was still black, but dawn was brewing.

Karun got up and went to the dining car to get some food, but heard a bell ringing."Darius in the opposite room is calling, is he awake?"

Karun opened the door and walked to the opposite door. He knocked first and then opened it, but he suddenly felt a sense of danger when he stepped inside. However, there was nothing unusual in the room.

But Karun preferred to trust his own intuition over what he saw.

Therefore, Karun didn't even enter the foyer and immediately stepped back two steps out of the room. He closed the door with his right hand and put his left hand on the blue shell on his ear to prepare to inform the captain.

However, a hand reached out from the gap in the door and grabbed Karun's collar before it closed.

Then, Darius's face appeared in the gap, looking at Karun.

"I need your help with something."

"Please release me first, sir."

Darius let go of Karun's collar, and Karun noticed that his face was slightly gray, and his golden hair looked like it had been covered in a layer of thick cement dust.

"Heh."

Darius made a strange laugh in his throat and let go of Karun's collar.

Karun pretended to adjust his collar and stepped back two steps.

At this time, the door was completely pushed open from the inside, and Karun saw Darius behind the door. He was not standing but in a strange position with his hands on both sides of the foyer, facing down with his face and up with his legs.

"You can certainly inform your people first, but please do it quickly. I need your help."

Karun inputted some spiritual power into the shell and then tapped it three times with his finger.

This blue shell device only had one-way transmission function. The captain could issue commands to his team through this, but the team members could not respond with voice and could only give simple feedback to the captain through these small vibrations.

"Are you done?" Darius asked. "Come in!"

"I'm coming." The captain's voice came from the shell.

Karun nodded to Darius, and he immediately turned around and climbed up the wall like a spider. Karun also walked in and saw a blue tray on the coffee table. The tray was covered with a layer of gloss, like a small barrier, and there were more than a dozen black particles floating inside it.

"Take one out for me, quickly!" Darius urged.

The barrier was not strong, and it could even be said to be weak, like a barrier designed by a divine servant, with only a little bit of order flowing on the surface. Karun integrated his own order into it and quickly mastered the formation.

Then, Karun removed the barrier.

"Buzz!"

Darius was like a gust of wind, holding a black particle in his hand and throwing it into his mouth.

"Ah..."

It wasn't a scream, but more like a comfortable sigh.

Darius grabbed the wall with his hands and feet, and his face and buttocks lifted up, full of enjoyment.

During the day, Karun really couldn't imagine that the godson of the Palmyra religion could have this side.

"Click!"

Like a gecko suddenly losing its adhesion to the wall, Darius fell from the wall onto the sofa, but his hands and feet still maintained the posture on the wall. At this moment, Neo's figure appeared next to Karun, wearing a silver mask on his face."Captain, what's wrong with him?" Karun asked.

"He's been poisoned," Neo replied.

"Poisoned?"

Neo reached out and placed his hand on Delius's abdomen.

Delius suddenly opened his eyes and glared at Neo.

"I'm helping you suppress its reaction," Neo said.

Delius looked puzzled, but closed his eyes again.

A black light appeared in Neo's palm and pressed into Delius's body. Delius's hands and feet tightened again, and he wanted to curl up, but he tried to restrain himself as much as possible.

Standing next to him, Karun clearly saw a bulge on Delius's abdomen, as if there was something active inside.

The black light in Neo's palm began to surround, as if driving the thing in Delius's stomach to move.

As this process continued, the grayish-white aura on Delius's face and hair gradually faded away, and his hands and feet finally fell gently.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The bulge in his stomach also disappeared.

Neo stopped and stood up.

"Captain, what is that thing?"

"It's a worm. He feeds it with his body."

Delius was now sitting up, but still sweating profusely.

Neo picked up the blue tray, which was actually a medicine bottle with a small boundary inside that could be opened when needed.

"Inside is the essence of the black soul shark, which should be used to feed the worm in the body. When the worm is hungry, it will wake up, and once it starts moving inside the host, the host will be in great pain.

The problem lies with this medicine bottle. This small boundary is usually fine, but the Ankara Hotel is itself in a huge protective boundary that instinctively envelops and explores all the boundaries inside.

Because of the added layer of order, you can't open it normally. If you force it open, the price may be a broken boundary and the particles inside may be damaged."

Delius spoke up: "You know a lot. Yes, when it starts to become active, all the spiritual power in my body cannot be mobilized. If it is mobilized before leaving the body, it will be sucked up by it."

"Why not eat it in advance?" Neo asked. "Is it because the worm in your body is stimulated by the formation here?"

"No, it's because my own emotional fluctuations today suddenly awakened it."

"Then you haven't controlled it yet, and you haven't established a mental communication bridge with it. Otherwise, you can calm it down through mental appeasement."

"Not yet, because I can't do it for now." Delius looked at Neo. "Guess what kind of worm it is?"

"Space worm - Sames," Neo replied.

"Yes, that's right."

"You shouldn't have swallowed it. You can deceive everyone in the Palmyresi religion, but you can't deceive it once it's inside you. It seems that you are not unable to establish a mental bridge with it, but you dare not. You are afraid that it will see through your true beliefs deep in your heart."

"But to become a son of God, you must swallow this worm first, so I can only use feed to appease it from time to time."Neo began to speak, "Whether it's taking the Black Soul Shark's essence blood or its awakening every once in a while, the pain is unbearable for ordinary people."

Darius showed a smile, "No matter how much pain, I won't compromise with it. If it forces me to change my inner faith and accept Parmires, I'd rather die."

Karun felt that he had heard this before, and it reminded him of Old Saman in the Ivy Cemetery.

"You should rest well first, and we will protect you by your side."

Darius nodded and said, "Thank you."

Neo left the room, and Karun followed him out, closing the door behind him.

Each room was actually a separate restriction. Once the door was closed, it became relatively independent, unable to sense the movements outside.

Neo spoke, "Tonight, all the food and drinks on the dinner cart have been drugged."

Read this novel and other amazing translated novels from the original source at the "[pawread.c𝘰m]"

"Drugged?!"

"This drug is harmless to the human body, but it can stimulate the space worms. Alright, you continue to rest, I have to report to the higher-ups that he hasn't formed a mental bridge with the space worm inside him."

Karun stayed in place;

Neo walked a few steps forward, turned his head to look at Karun, and said:

"It's not that I blame you for pushing the dinner cart out. After all, if there were any other problems with the food and drinks, I would have informed you in advance."

"But, since the captain knew that it was harmless to humans, why didn't he want the food on tonight's dinner cart?"

"Well, how should I put it, not knowing is one thing, but once you know, even if you're clear that the drug is harmless, you'll still feel a loss of appetite. So, do you suspect that there are worms in my body too?"

"No, captain, how could that be possible?"

How could a hunting dog be indifferent to harmless food?

This was the captain who always took advantage of every cheap opportunity and was used to taking everything.

"Rest, it's a rare leisurely mission, just treat it as a vacation."

With that, Neo turned around and continued to walk towards the elevator.

"Captain..." Karun called out to Neo.

Neo stopped again, looked at Karun, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Today, Darius might have mistaken me for the captain of this Whip of Order squad."

"And then?"

"He specifically invited me to have a drink and chat with him. In front of me, he took a sip of red wine. Now that I think about it, I feel it was a bit deliberate.

So, I suspect that Darius already knew that the food had been drugged."
