Chapter 37: Little Nun Verose
***
Bang——!
“Useless!”
The teacup shattered on the ground, smashing into pieces. Rhode abruptly stood up from his chair, his face dark with extreme anger.

“Please calm down, my lord,” the butler beside him pleaded repeatedly, fearing Rhode would become too angry and harm his own health.
“I thought Barna would bring me some good news, but today you tell me he’s been captured? What about Verose? Is that person still alive and well?”

“Uh, my lord, please calm down. Although Barna has been captured, based on what I know of him, he certainly won’t betray you.”
“Hmph, what if he does? Is there anyone in this small town who dares to arrest me?”
Rhode clasped his hands behind his back, his volatile face finally showing a hint of arrogance. Just as he said, there was no one in the small town of Avik who dared to arrest him.
Neither the mayor nor the church bishop would dare.

What infuriated him beyond measure was that he didn’t have any skilled assassins under his command. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had to commission Barna to assassinate an unarmed little girl.
That useless fool not only failed to assassinate her twice but also got caught!
Just thinking about it made him furious!
“I just don’t understand, how can it be so difficult to kill Verose, a mere little nun?”

“Well…”
“Heh, since things have come to this, there’s nothing more to say. You may go now, I’ll call for you if I need anything later.”

Rhode regained his composure and dismissed the butler. Afterwards, he returned to his room, closing the door with extreme caution.
He had said before that if Barna failed again, he would resort to using monsters to deal with Verose. Now, it was time.
Pulling out a withered wooden staff from under the bed, Rhode’s hands trembled slightly as he gripped it.
This was given to him by a monster disguised as an old woman.
It was said that if he lit 4 candles in the room and dripped his own blood on this wooden staff, that seemingly elderly monster would come to him and do him a favor.
The reason the monster gave him the staff was to ask for his help in covering up the news of missing children in the town. Although he hadn’t heard of any children going missing recently, surely the monster could still do him a favor?

Heaven’s road you do not take, Hell’s gate you force open.
You forced my hand, Verose!
Just thinking about the monster’s power made Rhode tremble with excitement.
He hurriedly lit 4 candles in the room, then knelt in the center, using a small knife to cut open the skin on his finger, letting the blood drip onto the withered wooden staff.
The monster, the monster would come soon.
With a nervous heart, he waited in the room for a long time, until the candles were almost burnt out, but the monster still didn’t come.

During this time, he thought perhaps he hadn’t shed enough blood, so he made many cuts on his fingers, until he could barely stand up before he stopped.
But the monster still didn’t come, and he gradually lost hope.

Could it be that the monster had tricked him?
With such doubts, suddenly the door was opened, and a gust of wind blew in. He stood up excitedly and turned towards the door.
It was the butler.
His face, full of joy a second ago, immediately fell.
Ѐ n̂ü_m а̇ .іd̆
Seeing the butler here couldn’t mean anything good.
“Terrible news, my lord!”
“…What is it? Why are you so flustered?”
“Mayor Harvey has ordered our pharmacies and clinics to be shut down! Now everyone is gathered in front of the stores, fighting with the mayor’s men.”

“Harvey dares to close my stores? Who gave him the courage?! Even Bishop Occasi wouldn’t dare to do such a thing!”
Tossing aside the withered wooden staff, Rhode was nearly driven mad with anger. Barna had failed in his task and was captured, the damned monster had tricked him, and now the mayor was riding roughshod over him.

Ever since he decided to go after Verose, nothing had gone smoothly!
“Prepare the carriage, take me to the town hall. I’m going to have a good talk with Harvey!”
“Yes, yes, of course…”
Did this Mayor Harvey think he was easy to bully? If he wanted to make a move against him, he’d better see if he had the ability!
After the butler prepared the carriage, he rode to the town hall, then stormed into the mayor’s office in a rage, sitting down on the sofa without a word.
The mayor of the small town of Avik was a man in his 40s who always wore thin-framed glasses. Seeing Rhode, he asked with a somewhat sarcastic tone:

“Well, what wind has blown you here?”
“Hmph, Harvey, don’t you owe me an explanation for closing my stores?” Rhode slammed the table, his face nearly half red with anger.
In the past, Harvey might have politely explained to Rhode, but today…
He raised an eyebrow, put down his pen, and asked in return: “An explanation? What kind of explanation do you want?”
“Why did you send people to close my stores? If you’re tired of being mayor, we can find someone else to do it!”
As if hearing a joke, Harvey suddenly laughed. Rhode, clearly sensing something was amiss, felt a surge of panic, realizing that this mayor must have found some powerful backing.

“Rhode, I’ve always said that your years of wrongdoing in this small town would one day come back to bite you. Now, your retribution has arrived.”
“What do you mean?”

Sweat beaded on his forehead as Rhode became restless. From Harvey’s words, he understood that he must have offended someone he shouldn’t have.
But had he offended anyone recently?
Thinking carefully, it seemed only that nun Verose, right?
Don’t be ridiculous. How could that nun be someone he couldn’t afford to offend? Even Bishop Occasi didn’t dare to speak loudly in front of him. What did it matter if he offended a mere nun?

Could it be something else?
“What do I mean? Rhode, do you still think you’re some untouchable noble lord? Take a look at this, it arrived this morning. You’ll certainly find it interesting.”
Saying this, Harvey handed him a letter from the desk.
Rhode glared at him before taking the letter from his hand.

When he saw that the cover of the letter bore the exclusive seal of the imperial royal family, his face instantly turned pale, sensing what was coming.
With trembling hands, he opened the letter. After reading its contents, his eyes became vacant, his limbs weak. He slid from the chair, and even the butler beside him couldn’t support him.

“Stripped of your title, property confiscated, and sentenced to death. Rhode, oh Rhode, I’m really curious, who on earth did you offend? To actually alarm the imperial royal family?”
While Harvey mocked him coldly, he was truly surprised at Rhode’s fate. Someone who could make the imperial royal family personally order Rhode’s punishment was rare in the entire empire.
And for him to be sentenced to death meant that Rhode hadn’t just offended that important person, but had truly harmed them.
Tsk tsk, truly, one reaps what one sows.
At this moment, no matter how much Rhode didn’t want to believe it, he knew that the nun Verose he had wanted to kill was no ordinary person.
The imperial royal family was willing to intervene for her…

No wonder, no wonder Barna had failed repeatedly, no wonder he couldn’t contact that monster… When such an important figure appears in a big city, even the city lord would personally accompany them. Ordinary people couldn’t even get close.
And he had actually tried to assassinate her?
