Karun knew that Old Saman had been discussing the details of the funeral with Alfred during this time. The old man attached great importance to his own funeral, although there would probably not be many relatives and friends coming to mourn, but this was a funeral he intended to attend in person.

Alfred told Karun that during the funeral, Old Saman, lying in the coffin for people to pay their respects, would still be alive and experience his own funeral with his eyes open.

When it was time to bury him, he would stand in front of the tombstone and give his own eulogy, and then lie back in the coffin to end his own life.

Karun had advised Old Saman not to die, and although Old Saman was very moved, he still chose to refuse.

Because from Old Saman's perspective, he could not accept the loss of his beloved Palmyra religion and its integration into other churches. In his words, he did not have the ability to stop the passage of time, but he could at least stop the swinging of his pendulum clock.

This was his martyrdom to the Palmyra God and his faith.

Originally, Karun thought that this treaty, which guaranteed the independence of the Palmyra religion, could make the old man give up the idea of death and continue to live in this beloved cemetery.

Therefore, Karun did not inform Old Saman about his identity as the Godchild.

But Darius came in person. As the Godchild of the Palmyra religion, he knew that there was a predecessor of the religion in this cemetery in York, which was normal.

Old Saman was hiding and avoiding the world, but he did not wear a mask like Karun did with the Voss family. Otherwise, the captain would not have come to the cemetery "to see him" every now and then.

Naturally, Darius could not reveal his identity. His identity could only be a secret that could not be disclosed outside of a small circle.

However, Old Saman actually knew Darius's father, Bishop Burne.

When the other bishops in the York region, Leon and Laure, were still in the dark about the war, Bishop Burne had already been pushing and participating in the plan. It can be seen that his true identity and status were much higher than what was shown on the surface.

However, Karun did not think that Darius looked much like Bishop Burne, but for an old man like Old Saman who was good at forging spatial sacred artifacts, the world in his eyes must be different from that of ordinary people.

At this moment, Old Saman finally realized that his Palmyra religion had long been "dead".

"I think everything can be discussed and negotiated..."

"Buzz!"

Old Saman reached out and directly grabbed Darius's neck, lifting him up.

The members of the Gengdi team immediately surrounded them, but when they were about to take the next step, they found blue arms protruding from the ground, grabbing a part of their bodies, and lifting them up.

Old Saman's eyes were filled with blue light. In this cemetery, he was the administrator:

"Some things can be discussed, and some things cannot even be discussed sitting down."

Darius didn't say, "Do you know what consequences it will cause if you kill me?"

Instead, he sincerely said, "I believe... in Palmyra."

"Hehehe."

Old Saman laughed and let go of Darius's neck, but at the same time, a pair of hands appeared under Darius's feet, pulling him down forcefully.

"Thump!" Darius knelt on the ground.

"Bang!"

His forehead directly hit the steps, blood flowing out, and the steps were also damaged.

Gengdi, who was originally thrown away, rushed here with a knife. Darius was now his protected target. Although he was aware of the old man's power, he had to move forward.

Karun stood in front of Gengdi and said, "Let your men retreat!"

Gengdi recognized Karun. He had seen him by Neo's side before, but at this moment...

"If you insist on forcing him to kill, and let all your subordinates die here, you can continue to attack."

Upon hearing this, Gengdi's face showed struggle and hesitation, but in the end, he raised his knife and gave the command to defend.

His subordinates, after breaking free from the grip of the blue arms on the ground or forcibly detaching themselves from their bodies, began to retreat and formed a circle.

Karun turned around and walked towards Old Saman. In front of Old Saman, Darius was still kneeling on the ground, his forehead bleeding, but his body was still shaking slightly, he was still alive, not dead.

"Let them go." Karun said.

Old Saman turned his head and looked at Karun, his face was very gloomy, no longer the cute old man who used to compete with him for heart powder:

"You already knew, didn't you?"

Karun could choose to deny it, because he was just an ordinary security guard and didn't know about it, which was normal; but since the matter had been revealed, he didn't want to lie anymore:

"Yes, I already knew, I deliberately didn't tell you."

Old Saman took a step closer to Karun, and Alfred had appeared behind him. If it weren't for Karun's gesture to stop him from acting rashly, Alfred might have already made a move against Old Saman.

Although Alfred also knew that Old Saman probably wouldn't kill anyone, but what if he got angry and treated the young master the same way as the Godchild?

"I don't need your sympathy, I don't need your pity, in my eyes, your actions are completely unnecessary, and I feel disgusted!"

Old Saman roared at Karun, almost spitting saliva on his face.

Karun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes to look at Old Saman, also raising his voice:

"Then what do you want me to say to you? Should I tell you not to believe the good news spreading outside, that this treaty that seems to preserve the autonomy of the Palmyra religion is actually a shiny appearance, but inside it has long been decayed?

Tell you not to expect good things, not to have illusions, and hurry up and kill yourself and lie in the coffin so that I can prepare your funeral?

I know you are emotional, but you can vent on him, don't vent on me!

Heh,

If you really provoke me, after you die, I will arrange a funeral with the theme of the Order of the Gods for you!"

"..." Old Saman.

Being shouted back by Karun, Old Saman shrank his neck, and his momentum immediately weakened.

Older people are like this, they get angry easily, but they also calm down quickly. Most importantly, Old Saman really believed in the young man in front of him, he really could do what he said.

"It's not your fault..."

Old Saman lowered his voice,

"Sigh, it shouldn't be your fault."

Old Saman looked up, his mouth smashed, and walked in front of Darius, kicking him.

"Bang!"

Darius was kicked out and fell to the ground, and several team members immediately went forward to support him and treat his wounds.

Old Saman hunched his back and silently walked into his house.

Karun took the handkerchief handed over by Alfred and wiped his face.

Gengdi walked over, looking very ugly. This protected target had just fallen into his hands and turned into this state. Not only would the mission rewards be gone, but he would probably also be punished.

Of course, Karun knew what he was thinking and comforted him, "Take the Godchild and your people back to the hotel. Treat the Godchild's wounds naturally. He won't report this incident to the higher-ups. He should even help you cover it up. It's okay."

"But the wound on his forehead is hard to completely heal even with magic in a short time. He still needs to attend the upcoming events."

"He will say that he tripped and fell while walking. He has already made excuses for himself, and the higher-ups won't continue to investigate and punish you."

"Are you sure he will do this?"

"He will."

"That's good, that's good; um, do you know him?"

"Yes, you know, people from our Order of the Gods like to eat supper here."

"I see." When it came to Neo's affairs, Gengdi was always easy to talk to because he was a worshipper of Neo, "Then I'll leave first. Are you okay alone here?"

"I don't need you to worry about me."

"Well, okay."

Gengdi ordered his subordinates to take the Godchild back, but Darius, who was already injured, pushed away the people around him and insisted on kneeling back on the steps. Although his face was covered in blood at this time, his eyes were full of piety.

Karun also didn't know what was in his heart, whether he was sincerely loyal and faithful to the Palmyra religion and wanted to show his attitude to Old Saman, or... simply wanted to use this method to divide the inheritance?

It's really not surprising that Karun would have such thoughts. Originally, in his cognition, Old Saman was considered a childless person. Whoever helped him take care of his affairs would naturally inherit his estate. Now, Darius's visit was like a distant nephew suddenly appearing before the childless person died.

But Karun was not the empty space worm in the other person's belly, and he had no way of knowing what the other person's thoughts were.

However, Karun still bent down and said to Darius:

"Your Excellency, please go back to the hotel and treat your wounds first. If you hadn't come, he would have continued to work and live here. Now that you have come, he really has to prepare for death."

Darius looked at Karun and asked, "Have you known him for a long time?"

"Yes, as you know, people from our Order of the Gods like to open funeral homes, and it's normal for funeral home operators to know the cemetery managers."

"Please tell him on my behalf that I am loyal to the Palmyra God."

"He doesn't care about these things, don't force him anymore. If you continue to kneel down like this, he will really hit you again. He's not an old man who can be coaxed by kneeling."

Darius shook his head and said, "I want him to see my sincerity."

Speaking, Darius shouted into the house, "Mr. Saman, you should believe in the greatness of the Palmyra God. Anyone has the right to believe in him and follow him. It has nothing to do with birth, bloodline, or who my father is!"

Old Saman, who had already returned to the small house, walked out again at this moment. Karun stepped aside, and Alfred had already made a gesture to stop him from acting rashly. Otherwise, Alfred might have already made a move against Old Saman.

Although Alfred also knew that Old Saman probably wouldn't kill anyone, but what if he got angry and treated the young master the same way as the Godchild?

"If my identity makes you uncomfortable, then I apologize here. I will kneel until you forgive me. Whenever you forgive me, I will get up."

Upon hearing this, Karun sighed in his heart, and then he found that the sigh came from Alfred. Alfred whispered:

"Young master, I've seen this kind of routine too many times on the stage."

Karun nodded in agreement, although he had never been to a theater to watch a performance in his life.

Old Saman seemed to be unmoved, because he kicked Darius again when he knelt on the steps in front of him.

"Bang!"

This time, the force was obviously greater, because Karun noticed that there was a blue light on the sole of Old Saman's foot.

Darius was once again kicked into the air. Fortunately, several team members caught him, but the terrifying force also knocked them all down. As for Darius himself, after this kick, he finally fainted.

Karun quickly waved to Gengdi, and Gengdi understood and ordered his subordinates to carry the Godchild out of the cemetery.

"You dog-like thing, do you think you can gain benefits by kneeling to me? If it weren't for the believers of Palmyra who I cherish, I would have killed someone today."

"He may be sincere."

Old Saman looked at Karun and asked, "Then are you willing to bring back the old refrigerator and return his sincere?"

"You really see people accurately. He can't deceive you."

"Tsk, do you have someone who knows the ropes around you?"

"Coincidentally, coincidentally."

"I should have brought him here earlier. Maybe I could have had a conversation with him like preaching."

Indeed, he could be brought over.

Karun changed the subject and asked, "Do you have a grudge against Bishop Burne?"

Old Saman pulled down his collar, revealing a black depression the size of a bowl on his left chest:

"He left this."

"Did you suffer a big loss?"

"No, I also left something on him, but in the end, I still lost because I'm not good at fighting."

Hearing this, and then thinking about the scene when Old Saman made a move earlier, the entire Gengdi team, including the Godchild, were like a group of chicks in front of him.

At the same time, Karun also felt that this sentence was somewhat familiar. His future father-in-law, Mr. Bede, seemed to like to say this.

"Maybe you can take this opportunity to go to the Messenger Space and take a look. Consider it as fulfilling a wish before you die?" Karun suggested.

"I'm too lazy to go. There is only an elder in the Messenger Space who is self-sealing. I didn't know why he was in so much pain before, but now, I seem to understand some of it. Because being sober is actually painful.

So, it's better to choose a big church to believe in. Small churches are really too sad."

"You're wrong about this. In the eyes of every devout believer, their own church will always be the greatest."

Old Saman said to Karun, "Hold my funeral tomorrow."

"Okay." Karun nodded.

Old Saman stretched out his finger, and Alfred immediately handed him a cigarette. The lighter ignited a flame, and he helped him light it.

After taking a puff and exhaling a smoke ring, Old Saman pointed to Alfred and said, "Your servant is very good."

"Yes, he's very good."

"He has been chatting with me about some interesting things recently. It's really interesting, hehe, it's like preaching."

Karun looked at Alfred, and Alfred slightly lowered his head, "He talked about everything except his faith, sir."

"No need to be polite, not at all."

Old Saman flicked the ash, feeling emotional:

"I have come to the end of my life. From the beginning with Palmyra, I will end with Palmyra. I think it's good, from beginning to end.

It's a pity that I don't believe in the teachings of the Reincarnation Church, otherwise, if there is an afterlife, I would like to chat with him for a while longer. Maybe he will successfully convert me, don't you think so?"

Karun smiled, "Of course, anything is possible."
