Chapter 417 Catching the villain
"You two, please sit down and talk."
Chen Lun smiled politely, raised his hand to stop Fana's words, and then pointed to the seat in the front row.
The lady then realized that she seemed to be too angry and had forgotten that this was a public place and a solemn church.
She immediately expressed her apology to Chen Lun and bowed to the watching believers.
"What's going on? You can tell me slowly."
Chen Lun walked forward holding the Bible and asked patiently.
Seeing the smile on his face, Johnston's inner anxiety and nervousness dissipated a lot, so he said in a guilty tone:
"After the Pearl Bamogo arrived at the Royal City Port, we went to the upper city as planned. We planned to choose a location and rent a building there first, and then recruit people in the lower city, but we didn't expect..."
Johnston spent about ten minutes describing how he was deceived by his good friend Peter, and how he regretted that he should not have trusted the other party too blindly, which led to this incident.
"I'm so guilty. You...you still believed in me so much and invested two thousand gold pounds, but now...I'm really damned. I'm sorry, Father Jack, I..."
Johnston's voice shook.
He has always wanted to become a successful entrepreneur through this business, thereby gaining the status he deserves and no longer being looked down upon by his wife's family.
But the result was that he was severely beaten by reality.
Now not only has he lost all his funds, but even the most basic life cannot be guaranteed... He originally took his wife away from home and came to the royal city, but in the end he had to go back in despair. This was really unacceptable to him.
Fana stared at her husband with hatred, her eyes red.
Although she did not support her husband's business, she did not stop it. Even after getting acquainted with Father Jack, she silently prayed to the "God of Contract" every night, hoping that her husband would succeed.
But now it's all over.
Finally, with a glimmer of hope, she brought her husband to the Church of Generosity, hoping that things could be rectified... After all, it was the Orthodox Church of the Empire, and Father Jack must be able to punish Peter who violated the contract!
"So, Petel has defrauded you of thousands of gold pounds, and he has now escaped without a trace?"
Chen Lun digested the other party's intermittent words and asked softly.
"It's six thousand five hundred gold pounds, Father Jack."
Fana added aloud.
"Yes, Peter...he ran away. Although we have called the police, the Royal City Police Station also said that there was nothing we could do because there were too few clues. The guy was well prepared and left no trace at all."
Johnston said dejectedly.
"When we found out something was wrong, his room was already empty, and he seemed to have disappeared from the world."
Chen Lun looked at the two people and had a plan in mind.
In fact, he had long seen that Petel had evil intentions. As the [Star Faction Sequence 8-Trickster], he had repeatedly guided Johnston's emotions in his words...
But Chen Lun did not take action against the guy at that time. Firstly, the other party did not put it into practice, and he did not need to bother to deal with it. Secondly, he deliberately invested two thousand gold pounds in Johnston's face, thinking that he could deter Petel. , but I didn’t expect that the other party was so bold that he even dared to take money from the top leaders of the Zhengshen Church.
Now, whether it is for his own two thousand gold pounds or for the blessing of the couple, he should help them recover the funds.
It is also a disguised promotion of the reputation of the generous parliament.
"Mr. Johnston, have you prayed to our Lord sincerely?"
Chen Lun asked with a smile.
Johnston was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head in shame.
The believers present were in an uproar.
This guy is not a believer in the Generous Council, but he still comes here to seek protection and seek justice... How shameless!
"I...I prayed devoutly, Father Jack, every night during this period!"
Fana suddenly spoke.
The husband beside her was very surprised, and immediately opened his mouth with great emotion, but didn't know what to say.
"Since there are devout prayers, then they are believers of our religion. The 'God of Contract' will not allow his believers to be insulted by such a perfidious person."
Chen Lun nodded.
The reason why he asked this was because he wanted other believers to know that only by devoutly believing in His Majesty Conrad could he obtain the protection of the Parliament.
This is a basic principle and cannot be shaken.
"Don't worry, I will represent the Council of Generosity and seek justice for you."
Chen Lun said with a chuckle.
Fana and his wife were very excited and thanked them profusely after standing up.
The other believers in the church, after watching the whole process, were also curious, wondering what Father Jack would do... After all, after listening to what the man said, the scammers had disappeared, so how could they get the money back? ?
"Goloff, Patton and Morey, you three are coming to the church... Before that, remember to apply to Floy for the right to use the [Travel Key] and bring it with you."
Chen Lun delivered his message through the "Pale Seal".
Not for a moment.
Everyone present saw three men wearing black monk's robes and black bowler hats walking into the church and coming to Father Jack.
"Lord Jack."
Golov and the other two people touched their chests and saluted.
That's what they usually call them outside.
Chen Lun nodded and asked the three of them to wait aside. Immediately, he took out a deck of playing cards in front of the believers present.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Chen Lun waved his hands calmly.
Poker cards were flying in the sky, surrounded by the windless wind around him, causing waves of exclamations.
"Those who violate the contract and those who harm their friends, Petel, the 'God of Contract' will guide me to find you... No matter where you are in the world, you cannot escape the punishment of your crime."
Chen Lun's calm and majestic voice echoed in the church.
The believers felt deafening and in awe.
Three playing cards suddenly popped out of the flying cards. Chen Lun glanced at them lightly. His full-level divination skills allowed him to easily decipher the general location of Petel.
The opponent was just a Sequence 8 Transcendent. If Chen Lun couldn't divine it, then things would be weird.
'Ten o'clock direction, northwest, close to the central area, located in the residence of the powerful... It's interesting that that guy didn't escape and dared to stay in the royal city. ’
Chen Lun thought to himself.
In order to get a more specific location, he quietly used divination again.
This time the playing cards changed and three more cards popped up.
‘The place where flowers bloom, the sunflower garden, the place where the pool rests, the residence of Viscount Rennes... It seems that he is hiding in the home of a Viscount, is he his patron? Or another victim? ’
Chen Lun pondered for a moment, and then said to the three Golovs:
"I have found the liar Petel, and he is now hiding in the house of Viscount Rennes... You have been ordered by me to come forward on behalf of the Generous Parliament and escort him back immediately."
"Yes, Lord Jack!"
The three Gorovs bowed their heads and responded.
Immediately, they used the [Travel Key] to draw a circle on the ground of the church, and then the light became brighter, and a circular door appeared on the ground, slowly opening.
The three Golovs stepped in without saying a word.
The believers present looked at this scene with astonishment, and waited with bated breath for the development of the matter. Fana and Johnston sat nervously on their chairs, staring at the round door on the ground.
"With the blessing of the 'God of Contract', we must catch that bastard Petel back!"
Fana said her prayers.
When her husband Johnston saw this, he no longer hesitated and started to imitate it. After experiencing all this, he gradually began to believe in the "God of Contract".
"Everyone, please be patient. Those who break the contract will be punished accordingly."
Chen Lun said softly.
Afterwards, he returned to the stage with the Bible in hand and continued to listen to the complaints of other believers as if nothing had happened...as if this matter was a small matter that could be easily solved in his opinion.

At this moment.
In the center of Tourmaline Kloster, the residence of Viscount Rennes.
On the lawn next to the swimming pool, a middle-aged man with a mustache was drinking and chatting with a handsome young man.
"Hey, Petel, that investment you mentioned is really good. Yesterday I received a notification from the housekeeper that the three thousand gold pounds investment in the Sarin Two-Wheeled Scooter Company some time ago has now been doubled. The return..."
The man with a mustache said happily while smoking a cigar.
"Viscount Rennes, based on my many years of experience in the industry and my predictions on emerging industries, this is just the beginning... maybe it won't be long before this amount of money can be doubled several times or even ten times."
< br>
Petel chuckled, picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
"My suggestion is to invest more. After all, there are many smart people in the royal city. Soon they will smell business opportunities and the market will be saturated quickly... By then it will not be so easy to make money as easily as now."
"Okay! I believe in you, Peter!"
Viscount Renn thought for a moment, clapped his hands and said.
"I will invest another 10,000 gold pounds and sell two pieces of land and several shops in the West District. I should be able to make up the money..."
"Don't worry, Your Excellency Viscount, you will make it back soon."
Peter said seriously.
A trace of smile flashed in his eyes.
"Come on, have a drink and celebrate in advance."
Viscount Rennes smiled and raised his glass.
"If I hadn't known you as a talented person, how would I have gotten so much money? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. There will be a noble dinner in a few days, and I will take you to meet some big shots."
"Thank you very much, Your Excellency Viscount."
Peter raised his glass to touch it and smiled heartily.
But at this moment, a round door suddenly appeared in the open space on one side of the lawn, blooming with white light. Viscount Renne and Petel were slightly startled and quickly stood up.
"What's going on?!"
The round door opened, and three men in black clothes and hats walked out one after another.
It was Golov, Patton and Morey.
They walked towards the two of them expressionlessly. Viscount Rennes was shocked and angry and shouted loudly:
"Security! Security!!"
"In the name of Mr. Jack Speight, the consul of the Generous Parliament, we are here to capture the fraudster Patel. The rest of the gang should retreat!"
Golov shouted in a deep voice.
Viscount Rennes couldn't help but be startled, but next to him, Peter's expression changed drastically.
"Misunderstanding! This is a misunderstanding!"
He turned to the Viscount and said.
"The Council of Generosity has wronged me! Your Excellency, Viscount, save me!"
"Damn it!"
Although Viscount Rennes was doubtful about Golov's words, he still chose to side with Petel. After all, his investment had been spread out and he still needed his help to make money.
If Peter was taken away, wouldn't he suffer a big loss?
After hearing the news, more than a dozen tall security personnel rushed over and pointed their flintlock guns at the three Golovs.
"Everyone, this is a misunderstanding. Peter is a law-abiding citizen and a good friend of my Viscount Rennes... Do you want to go back to confirm?"
Viscount Ren said in a deep voice.
Unexpectedly, Golov glanced at him indifferently and raised his hand directly.
A dark shadow flew out from under his feet and struck towards Petel.
"Your Majesty the Viscount!"
Petel knew that he would not be a match for the members of the Righteous God Church, and the only one who could save him now was Viscount Renn.
"Stop!"
Viscount Renn gritted his teeth and scolded.
In a panic, he ordered the security to shoot.
Bang bang bang...!
The three Golovs immediately turned into shadows and disappeared in place, dodging the bullets.
The next second, he appeared in front of Viscount Rennes with Petel's neck in his arms, with an indifferent look on his face.
"How dare you disobey the laws of the Generous Parliament! Viscount Wren!"
Golov's tone was extremely cold.
Viscount Rennes' breath was stagnant, and he seemed to realize that something serious was going on. So the mustachioed man was silent for a few seconds and looked at the "miserable" Petel again.
"Sorry, you three, I was just in a hurry for my friends."
He took a deep breath.
"Peter, don't worry, I will find a way to save you."
"Hmph! We will report this matter to Lord Jack Spate truthfully!"
The three Gorovs glanced at him coldly, and then like dragging a dead dog, they dragged Petel into the round door and disappeared into the mansion. Viscount Renne wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, his thoughts were changing, and finally he turned around and ran towards the villa... He decided to ask for help from his friend, who was a powerful man!
