Gospel of Blood

"Nice, your decisiveness in dealing with those scum raised by the Inquisition is truly admirable!"

Watching the hand crossbow drop in front of the black cat, Chatham, the captain of the Demon Hunter squad, showed admiration.

Although the Demon Hunter Bureau and the Inquisition were not on good terms, one still had to be careful when taking action. Even if action was necessary, it was best not to cause casualties, let alone leave any evidence behind.

Chatham believed that if it were him, he would at most subdue the Judgment knights and hand them over to the Inquisition after a severe beating.

However, Demon Hunter Knights had to be cautious. While obstructing the Inquisition's actions was acceptable, causing casualties would be too much, even if it was just a group of dogs raised by the Inquisition.

Such actions would definitely lead to disciplinary action afterward, either in the form of budget cuts or a halt in promotion opportunities.

That's why the Demon Hunter Knights admired the black cat so much.

Using a hand crossbow, shooting with pinpoint accuracy, and targeting from behind, this Lord Nice... was truly ruthless and decisive!

Truly worthy of being an extraordinary being sheltered by the church!

The Demon Hunter Knights whispered in their hearts.

The Demon Hunter Bureau already detested these scoundrels who were once wanted criminals, and the reason for the black cat's actions was justifiable, undoubtedly venting their frustrations for them.

After all, it wasn't their budget being cut, nor their promotions being halted.

Oh, wait. Lord Nice didn't seem to have a budget or a position to begin with. So, it didn't matter to it either way!

Seeing the strange gazes from the Demon Hunter Knights and the occasional "pitiful" look from Charlotte, Nice felt its throat dry up.

It wanted to say "It wasn't me," but seeing Charlotte's occasional "wronged" look, it could only grit its teeth and say seriously.

"Um... in urgent situations, since these Judgment Knights dared to attack nobles, the situation has changed."

"As a member of the church, I have an obligation to clean up these scum for the Inquisition!"

"Captain Chatham, please hurry and save my servants..."

Charlotte looked at the captain of the Demon Hunter squad with a pitiful look again.

Chatham's gaze fell on Mrs. Mina and the others, nodding solemnly, and said to his accompanying comrades.

"For this gentleman and the lady, provide medical treatment. Additionally... quickly send this lady to the church hospital."

The Demon Hunter Knights immediately got busy.

Old Frank struggled to sit up.

"Master... there are others! Others are being hunted too!"

Sherry also tightened her grip on her long sword, staring coldly at Charlotte.

Although she didn't speak, Charlotte seemed to see the same hope in her eyes as in old Frank's.

"Don't worry, with Lord Nice and the Demon Hunter Knights here, we will definitely save everyone."

Charlotte comforted.

After saying that, she looked at Captain Chatham with a pitiful look.

"Captain Chatham..."

Seeing the girl's irresistibly cute look and subconsciously patting his bulging wallet at his waist, the captain of the Demon Hunter Knights looked solemn.

"Of course, accepting your employment was for this purpose!"

"Those Judgment Knights who illegally attacked the Castell's vassals must be stopped!"

Although obstructing the actions of the Inquisition was controversial, the girl had given too much. And with her pitiful and easily evoking protective instincts gaze, it was hard for the Demon Hunter Knights to refuse.

Moreover... going against the Inquisition felt pretty good to them.

"Great! Captain Chatham, you're amazing! Just like Lord Nice!"

"Just now, I persuaded Lord Nice not to act, but Lord Nice insisted and said it would let everyone act without hesitation!"

The girl exclaimed excitedly.

Her pure azure eyes curved into crescents, her innocent and radiant smile extremely healing.

Nice:...

For a moment, the gazes of the Demon Hunter Knights once again gathered on the black cat.

Seeing the Demon Hunter Knights' gazes and Charlotte's smiling face, Nice felt its throat parched.

It wanted to say it wasn't the one who did it, but seeing Charlotte's occasional "wronged" look, it could only sigh and grit its teeth, saying.

"Yes, those bastards dared to attack innocent citizens, we cannot tolerate it!"

"As members under the holy light, we have an obligation to clean up the mess for the Inquisition!"

The Demon Hunter Knights' gazes became even more admiring.

"Lord Nice, you're the best!"

Captain Chatham gave a thumbs up.

Then, he said to the other Demon Hunter squad leaders.

"Go tell everyone, Lord Nice has given orders to quickly stop those Judgment Knights who continue to chase the peripheral members of Rose Society!"

"Lord Nice said if something happens, it will take the blame! Everyone, act freely! It's all on it if it causes casualties!"

Nice: ???

Charlotte almost couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Clearly, this Captain Chatham was also quite cunning. He suddenly found a perfect scapegoat and immediately jumped on board. Moreover, he even took the opportunity to spread the protection to the entire peripheral members of Rose Society.

"Captain Chatham, please have the knights take this!"

Charlotte took out a black eagle badge from her bosom.

She had previously used the badge to sense Sherry, who happened to be the closest. It was just unexpected that it was Sherry's family.

Captain Chatham quickly took it with both hands and handed it to the others.

"Miss Charlotte, are you going to the Rose Manor next?"

Seeing the girl's firm expression, Chatham's heart stirred.

"Yes, Rose Society has always been a peripheral force of the Castell, and it has always been a family secret with the family's restrictions. Rose Society has always acted according to principles."

"The bell must be unrung by the person who rang it... by stopping the true Judgment Knights, the Inquisition Troops will naturally be ordered to stop."

"Captain Chatham, this sacred judgment was originally instigated by informants behind the scenes, aimed at the Castell family!"

"Please come with me and several other captains to be witnesses!"

After hearing the girl's words, the Demon Hunter captain hesitated a little.

Beating up the Inquisition Troops was acceptable. Rescuing the noble's vassals from the Inquisition Troops was a slap in the face to the Inquisition, but it wouldn't cause a complete rift. It was like walking on the dangerous edge, repeatedly jumping back and forth, which was their purpose for this trip.

But if they were to fight the true Judgment Knights, the situation would completely change.

"We don't need to engage in substantive conflicts with them. Like I said before, you just need to protect me and my vassals."

"And... Captain Kara will also come."

Charlotte added.

After hearing the girl's words, Chatham felt relieved.

There's someone to rely on in times of trouble, and even Captain Kara is coming, they have nothing to fear.

They were also curious how the girl had the confidence to snatch people from the Judgment Knights.

And if the girl succeeded...

Well, that would be interesting indeed.

The Demon Hunter Bureau would definitely not miss such an opportunity to add insult to injury!

"Let's go! Let's follow Miss Charlotte to the Rose Manor!"

Captain Chatham said to the other Demon Hunter squad leaders.

After that, he glanced at Mrs. Mina again, pondering.

"Take this lady with us too. Captain Kara's healing skills are a bit more advanced than the church's, and the Rose Manor is closer than the church hospital."

"Then... I want to go too!"

Old Frank struggled to stand up.

Sherry also covered her preliminarily treated wound and stood limping next to her mother.

"Then let's go together and witness this together!"

Charlotte said.

Mrs. Mina was lifted onto the carriage, and old Frank and Sherry supported each other into the carriage.

Under the protection of the Demon Hunter Knights, the group set off grandly towards the Rose Manor...
