Chapter 321: Pressure

“Haha, don’t worry! As long as you want to join the Shrine Choir, the Church can stand up for you and cancel the engagement. You are gifted. If you join the Shrine Choir, you would have a good chance at becoming a Saintess. By then, you would be able to communicate to the gods and hold supreme power. You would be the representative of the gods, and anything you say would be treated with great respect. Your family and friends would also be uplifted by you. All of this can be achieved as long as you nod your head……”

Priest Balesi’s words were filled with temptation as he told Angela about her potential bright future.

“Thank you, Mr. Priest. However, I don’t want to become a nun.”

Angela replied directly. Balesi was a little surprised by Angela’s immediate answer. He was disappointed, and he couldn’t believe what he had heard.

After looking at the king of Chambord who was sneering and the angry warriors of Chambord, he knew what he said had triggered a lot of people. What he did was similar to robbing the king of Chambord’s fiancée, and he just offended this force that recently got power.

However, the girl in front of him had the purest soul he had ever seen, and she would be very important to how he and his people can advance inside the Holy Church. Even if he had to offend Chambord, he didn’t care. After all, a little affiliated kingdom was nothing; even Zenit was like a bug in the eyes of the Holy Church.

“Beautiful lady, I hope you can really re-consider my offer. Being a Saintess of the Holy Church is hundreds of thousands of times better than being the queen of a little affiliated kingdom.” Balesi spoke again and was unwilling to give up.

Angela didn’t say anything. She held onto Fei’s hands tightly and shook her head.

Balesi looked at their hands as if he understood something. He smiled and said: “As long as you agree, we are not scared of threats. Haha, don’t worry about that. As long as you agree, no one dares to stop someone from becoming a member of the Shrine Choir.”

What he said was really mean; he was obviously trying to create cracks in Fei and Angela’s relationship.

Disgust appeared in Angela’s peaceful and calm eyes. She said slowly, “No one is threatening me at Chambord. However, I can sense a lot of threat in your words, Ms. Priest.”

Balesi’s face got a little red as he was embarrassed. He opened his mouth and couldn’t follow up with anything.

At this time, Fei suddenly stood up.

As he stood up, his dark red cape fluttered; it looked like a bloody flag that was in battle. A huge force blew at Balesi, and the patched robe he was wearing was fluttering backward as well. Although it didn’t break off of his body, it was tightly pressed against his not-so-bulky body.

The huge power made Balesi’s body shake. Although he didn’t fall down or move back, his feet were driven deep into the ground by him; his ankles couldn’t even be seen. Dense spider web-like cracks appeared on the ground and continued to expand.

Tink! Tink! Tink!

After seeing this, the dozen silver armored cavaliers of the Holy Church drew their swords as their faces changed color. They stood in front of Balesi and went against the pressure Fei was giving off together.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The warriors of Chambord like Drogba, Pierce, and Robbin also slapped the table, drew their weapons, and was about to strike.

The atmosphere inside the tent got very tense. As if a huge stone was hanging on a strand of hair, it was about to break loose at any second. The tent shook violently under the blowing wind, and the noises it made was breath-taking.

“Hahaha, I’m just playing. Why so serious?” Fei laughed as he suddenly pulled back his power.

“Eh?”

Balesi who was trying to go against Fei’s force didn’t react fast enough. He pushed forward habitually and almost fell on his face. It was fortunate that he was powerful and stopped himself right there. His face was all red as he fell to a disadvantage.

“It is late already. It is dark outside, and the terrain around here is pretty bad. Since Kaka His Highness needs to travel out tonight, it is better to leave earlier.” Fei asked them to leave firmly.

“You……” All of Balesi’s hairs stood up.

He stared at Fei with coldness in his eyes. He was actually shocked; he didn’t expect Fei’s strength to grow this much in this short amount of time. When he met Fei in the underground cave of Blood-Edge’s headquarter, he was still able to clearly detect how powerful Fei was. Although he tried to recruit this young king at the time for some other reason, he looked down on Fei and didn’t really think Fei was a character who posed threats to him. But now, this king was able to threaten him.

Of course, Balesi was infuriated.

“How dare such a small king offend me and trick me? How dare he ask Mr. Kaka to leave?”

Balesi wasn’t someone who can’t endure pain and embarrassment.

Instead, the reason he was the accompanying priest of Kaka wasn’t because of his combat ability. Rather, it was because that he was wise and calm. He had read numerous books and witnessed how different groups inside the Holy Church tried to kill each other in order to advance.

However, he was the most irrational person today. For some reason, the person who was always calm and calculative was now very emotional like a rabbit that got its tail stepped on. Even Kaka and the cavaliers were a little surprised.

“Your Majesty, it is my fault for causing such trouble. Priest Balesi was very surprised by the queen, and he misbehaved. Please accept my apologies.” At this intense moment, [God’s Favorite Child] Kaka suddenly apologized to Fei as he waved his hand and signal the cavaliers to leave the tent and start preparing for the trip.

Fei’s impression of Kaka wasn’t bad. He smiled and also waved his hand to calm down the warriors of Chambord. After that, he walked Kaka to his silver magic carriage. After some more chitchat, they said farewells to each other.

“Your Highness, if you change your mind, you can inform the Bishop of Zenit. My offer would be open forever. To you, Chambord is only a little pond and the king of Chambord is only a big frog in this small pond. Your name is designated to be heard throughout the continent, and I’m sure that you will make the correct decision soon.”

Before they left, Priest Balesi still continued to try to make Angela change her mind. As he talked to Angela, he looked at Fei in a provocative manner. It was obvious that he wanted to get Angela to become a Saintess, and it seemed like it was of utter importance to him.

Although Kaka and the king of Chambord were very friendly towards each other, Red-Robe Top-Tier Priest Balesi who was like a teacher and a strategist to Kaka already stood on the other side of the table.

What happened today was really strange.

A lot of people didn’t understand what had happened. It was a friendly visit at first since Balesi was always trying to recruit the king of Chambord. However, the ending to this was very unexpected.

Fei didn’t react to Balesi’ provocation as a vague smile was always on his face.

“Your Majesty, let us go and teach that bastard a lesson!” Drogba and Pierce stared at Balesi who was leaving as they said. They couldn’t hold back their anger, and they were planning to do some illegal things.

Fei turned around and saw Oleg who was also looking at him in an excited manner; he wanted to go and vent his anger as well.

Fei was surprised by this; he found it funny as well.

His men were spoiled by him. It was the Holy Church! All forces on the continent were afraid of them and had to respect them. They would either try to flatter them or try to stay far away from them. “These three guys want to chase and kill a priest of the Church? Are they crazy?” Fei thought.

“Fu*k off! Go and improve your strength first! The three of you added together can’t even defend against his finger!” Fei stared at them and kicked them on their butts. After that, he walked towards his central tent.

After talking a few steps, he turned around and commanded: “No one can leave the camp area tonight without my permission! Everyone has to stay here quietly! Also, don’t even talk about what happened tonight with anyone.” Fei said seriously.

“Yes, Your Majesty.” The warriors of Chambord all got docile after seeing how serious Fei was.

Only Lampard who was standing far away saw Fei’s little movement. He saw Fei looking at the direction of the Balesi, and he saw a pair of eyes that were so cold that they could instantly freeze water.

……

After Fei walked into the central tent, he started to think back to what had happened. After he calmed down, he realized that things weren’t that simple. Although Balesi was trying to convince Angela to join the Shrine Choir, it felt like there was something on Angela that was very important to Balesi and his group.

This was something that Fei had been thinking about as well.

Although Angela never had any magic and didn’t have any special talent that she was born with, she was really good at communicating with animals. In fact, she was so good with animals that even the most vicious animal would be docile like a little cute kitty when it was near her.
