Chapter 304: Using force to overcome skill
Peacock City.
Historical and Ceremonial Society Resident.
Because the operation suffered an unprecedented blow, branch president Pearson was furious.
What was originally thought to be a simple and trivial matter led to the death of branch vice-president Osmond and fourteen other extraordinary members. Pearson immediately dispatched two other vice-presidents to lead a team to investigate the matter.
But the result surprised everyone.
"Joko, Knight of Spades! How could it be him?!"
When Pearson found out who the assailant was, he felt a chill go down his spine.
He didn't expect that a vicious person from this mysterious realm would actually wander into Peacock City. What kind of bad luck did Osmond and his team have to encounter such a misfortune.
Pearson couldn't help but suppress a ball of anger in his heart, and he needed to vent it out.
Of course he didn't dare to go to trouble the Knight of Spades like this. With the strength of the Peacock City Association, even if everyone was dispatched, it might not be enough to kill the opponent with one hand.
So, he reported the situation, hoping that the higher-ups could send a "Team of Ancient Readers" composed of elite extraordinary beings to pursue them. Pearson, on the other hand, vented his anger on Don Marne and the entire Simon family.
Although the Simon family is a well-known wealthy businessman in Peacock City, second only to the "Moses Voyage" group branch, in the final analysis, they are just ordinary people.
Faced with the deliberate targeting of the History and Ceremony Association, not only could they not continue their business, but their original decent life would no longer exist.
As various industries under the Simon family were blocked, the entire family began to panic. Tang Maen personally visited his former friends, hoping to get some help, but in the end they all returned without success.
The Simon family is in big trouble!
No one in the entire Peacock City is willing to help them!
Tang Ma'en seemed to have aged ten years overnight, his hair had turned a lot grayer, and his whole person was sluggish. He had lost his former fighting spirit and passion. Now he just wanted to find a way out for his family.
However, the tribesmen inside did not appreciate it, and even began to complain about him, saying that those useless collections should have been given directly to the History and Ceremony Association, otherwise the current embarrassing situation would not have occurred.
Even among those who complained about him were his biological sons and daughters.
Tang Maen secretly hated the short-sightedness of these tribesmen and did not understand the hidden secrets at all. Of course he knew that the three collections were nothing, but if he handed them over so easily, it would mean that the other party would think that the Simon family was weak and could be bullied, and he would probably take advantage of them in the future.
The best thing for him to do at that time was to make his attitude clear.
Who would have known that the History and Ceremony Association would dare to take the risk and directly use the name and power of the Zhengshen Church to ruthlessly suppress the Simon family.
Tang Maen had no choice but to seek help from the Peacock City Asylum.
After receiving the news, group leader Yamos immediately started a meeting. He slammed the table angrily on the spot and angrily denounced the History and Ceremony Association as not worthy of being one of the Orthodox Churches.
Since they took up residence in Peacock City, they have not done even a single thing that is conducive to the stability of the empire. Every time there is a mysterious and harmful incident, there are various excuses to shirk it and sit on the sidelines. Although the Madman School remains neutral most of the time, at least they don't cause trouble. They also support the establishment of Omto Academy and train many talents.
But the History and Ceremony Association simply occupies the position of the Zhengshen Church and does nothing serious.
After the meeting.
Amos personally led the team of investigators to the headquarters of the Historical and Ritual Association, negotiated with President Pearson, and warned the other party not to use the power of the Orthodox Church to interfere in the lives of civilians.
Pearson smiled and agreed.
However, the situation of the Simon family has not improved substantially.

On this day, Chen Lun received an invitation from Mr. Hoyle.
He asked Golov to drive the carriage himself and took him to the agreed tavern.
As soon as he entered, he saw Hoyle sitting in the corner, getting drunk alone.
"Mr. Jack, you are here."
Hoyle drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp and said drunkenly.
The wine glass hit the table hard, and the ice cubes hit the inner wall of the glass, making a crisp sound.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Jack, I...I regret to say that the performance can no longer continue...The City Garden Theater is finished and has now closed its doors."
Hoyle smiled bitterly, raised his hand and rubbed his cheek vigorously.
"Even the Simon family is almost finished."
Chen Lun sat down opposite Hoyle, poured himself a glass of water, and listened silently to what the other person was saying.
Hoyle seemed to be a little decadent and depressed because of the difficulties his family had encountered, and he no longer had so many worries. He directly told Chen Lun about the suppression of the History and Ceremony Association.
"Why...shouldn't the Orthodox Church protect the world? Why do they oppress us...we are just ordinary businessmen."
Hoyle supported his heavy head and spoke vaguely.
The scene was silent for a few seconds.
"What are you going to do?"
Chen Lun asked aloud.
"No...I don't know."
Hoyle shook his head in confusion.
"Perhaps, my father will take us away from Peacock City and start from scratch somewhere else... to a place without historical and ritual associations."
Chen Lun looked at the other party, thought for a while, and said:
"Mr. Hoyle, maybe you don't need to be so pessimistic. Maybe everything will be fine in two days."
"No, it won't get better..."
Hoyle scratched his hair in pain.
"They are the Orthodox Church. No one in Peacock City is willing to help us... Even the shelter has nothing to do about it."
He refilled himself a glass of strong wine and looked at Chen Lun apologetically.
"The family has been in a mess these past few days. My father is too busy and I didn't even have the chance to talk to him about the collection... But please don't worry, if you really have to leave Peacock City, I will definitely help you get there before I leave. collection.”
Chen Lun sighed secretly.
He comforted Hoyle and told him not to worry about it anymore.
Hoyle probably didn't know that the three collections had already been snatched away by the History and Ceremony Association, and now they were in Chen Lun's hands.
After a while.
Hoyle drank too much and passed out drunk on the table.
Chen Lun asked Golov to come into the tavern and help move Hoyle to the carriage, and then sent him back to the Simon family's manor.
‘Although I snatched those three collections from the History and Ceremony Association, I still owe the Simon family a favor. ’
Chen Lun left in the carriage and looked at the deserted manor through the carriage window.
‘Since the History and Ceremony Association is stalking me, I’ll just help Hoyle solve this problem... I’ll feel better if I return the favor. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.

It is actually very simple to help the Simon family lift the suppression from the History and Ceremony Association.
As long as they are left in internal chaos or even severely damaged, they will not have so much free time to take care of the Simon family's affairs. It would be best to remove the president of the Peacock City branch of the History and Ceremony Association once and for all.
Chen Lun had no intention of competing with them in a battle of wits and courage.
The next day, he accepted a commission from the Murder Club's "Commission Menu" to murder the Bishop of the Red Apple Church. Then he transformed into the Knight of Spades Choco again and went to another city in Yanbang.
In a city in a disaster area called Yuhua City, Chen Lun found the bishop.
‘[Sequence 6-Bloodborn]? ...enough. ’
In the church where corpses lay everywhere, Chen Lun dragged the silver giant sword and fought his way to the bishop.
This bishop named Cliff has obviously heard of the reputation of the Knight of Spades. Perhaps it should be said that no one in the upper echelons of the Red Apple Church does not know this ruthless man.
But Cliff never expected that the other party would suddenly appear in Yuhua City and appear in front of him.
Some time ago, the church had just organized an ambush and siege against the Knight of Spades. Although the other party had a chance to escape, but only a short time had passed, this guy dared to show up again and continue to hunt the church.
Cliff was inexplicably shocked, and he just wanted to roar loudly.
How dare? !
How dare this guy? !
After a while.
The bishop of the Red Apple Church collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, vomiting blood, and his face was ashen.
The spade knight wearing rusty armor slowly bent down, grabbed Cliff's neck, lifted him up, then took one step forward and disappeared with him.
Leap in the clouds!
Chen Lun used the cloud leap four times in succession to cross the distance between the two urban areas of Yanbang in a straight line and returned to the Bronze City Peacock City.
The whole process consumed a lot of physical energy. Chen Lun suppressed the fatigue all over his body and the desire to kill that kept emerging in his heart, and threw the bishop in his hand into the headquarters of the History and Ceremony Association.
Before that, he also used "mind sharing" for the first time.
After some judgment, Cliff, the bishop of the Red Apple Church, could not compete with Chen Lun's will and weight, and was invaded by his thoughts.
The majestic desire to kill was instilled from Chen Lun and instantly filled the other person's mind. Cliff's eyes suddenly turned red, bloodthirsty murderous intent was revealed on his face, and he even showed a state of madness.
Immediately, Chen Lun gave the final "boost", which was to use the power of bookmarks to treat the opponent's injuries.
After doing all this, Chen Lun quickly left here.
The disciples left behind the Bishop of the Red Apple Church who fell into a state of bloodthirsty madness, and a group of people from the Historical and Ritual Association who heard the news and were horrified.
Among them, Pearson, as the president, was the most puzzled and shocked.
He could never understand how the bishop of the Red Apple Church could kill him in Peacock City, or even in the association's resident building!
I didn't even hear the slightest noise, it was so sudden.
So appalling!
Boom! !
There was a loud noise, accompanied by howls and screams.
In downtown Peacock, a building two streets away from Jack's Winery suffered a violent explosion and severe collapse.
The incident made newspaper headlines the next day.
"Well done, Cliff."
Chen Lun was eating breakfast in the living room and reading the newspaper with interest.
"Mr. Jack, who is Cliff?"
Noah asked doubtfully from the side.
Chen Lun chuckled, stuffed a croquette into his mouth, and said while chewing:
"A venerable Bishop of the Red Apple Church, he bravely rushed into the building of the Historical and Ritual Society, maimed President Pearson with two punches, and then drained all of his blood."
He shook his head and sighed:
"It was so tragic. Although the asylum and the School of Madmen arrived in time and suppressed Bishop Cliff...but nearly half of the people in the Historical and Ritual Association were slaughtered."
Noah blinked, he always felt that Mr. Jack was gloating.
But there is little evidence. (End of chapter)
