Chapter 108 Sequence "Servant"

"Respected Lord Baron Byrne, hello, I am a businessman from Finn City, Robert Lane. I am a distant relative of Viscount Bester, and I want to cooperate with the Fisher family to invest in a factory."

The businessman bowed politely to express his respect for the extraordinary nobleman.

Byrne smiled but felt something was wrong. The businessman in front of him gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, even though they had just met.

A distant relative of Viscount Best?

Something seemed wrong, and Byrne was not sure whether the Viscount really had this distant relative.

The situation on the East Coast has been unstable in recent months. The Poseidon Cult has burned down three villages, massacred thousands of people, and even two baron families and a dozen knight families have been destroyed!

The Storm Church was extremely furious and determined to completely wipe out the Poseidon Cult. The sea war that Viscount Best had predicted was about to come.

By then, the Fisher family would also be obliged to participate in the war.

After realizing something was wrong, he quickly felt that he needed to be alert.

The businessman had a friendly smile on his face, his brown hair was combed very neatly, and his black clothes were meticulously dressed, but there was an unconcealable teasing in his eyes.

Byrne was silent for a long time, nodded and asked:

"Mr. Robert, our family has a very friendly relationship with the Lion family. If you want to invest in our Fischer factory, the Fischer family welcomes you. But I want to ask you directly, how much money do you plan to invest?"

The businessman tilted his head and hesitated. After thinking for a long time, he said:

"Well, for this, I want to invest at least 500 gold, maybe more than 500, but it depends on how you can convince me to spend more money."

He looked at Byrne with a smile and asked:

"Why don't you tell me about your specific ideas for the future development of the Fischer Factory?"

Relying on the fact that he was a distant relative of Viscount Best, the merchant's tone became less respectful.

"Um……"

Byrne was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Chris?"

When the businessman heard the name, he suddenly frowned and the smile on his face disappeared completely in an instant.

As Chris took off the wig on his head, he fell into deep thought. How was he exposed?

Byrne widened his eyes and was stunned for a long time before he said in surprise:

"You are so amazing. If I didn't have supernatural powers, I wouldn't be able to tell it was you!"

Chris asked calmly as he took off his clothes and the cushions that were supporting his feet.

"How did you do that?"

Byrne smiled and replied, "Because we are so familiar with each other, my deep memory records all the tiny details of your movements. After comparison, I can realize that the person in front of me is probably you..."

He paused and added: "In fact, the most important reason is the sense of familiarity. I felt something was wrong from the beginning, so I wondered if someone was pretending to be me, and compared it with the memory in my mind."

At this point, Byrne nodded and praised Chris's performance sincerely:

"It should be easy if you want to deceive someone you don't know well. Nice disguise! I think it will be very useful!"

Byrne showed an extremely happy smile on his face and hugged Chris.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

He gently reached out to pat his cousin's shoulder, his eyes full of appreciation and concern.

"Since you've returned, it means that you must have completely awakened your spirituality, enough to advance to the third level."

"Chris, you must have suffered a lot during this period of time in order to complete the promotion ceremony. It is a blessing for all members of the Fisher family to have a reliable person like you in the family. As the head of the family, I must thank you."

Chris calmly dodged Byrne's hand. He didn't want anyone other than his sister to touch his body, leaving Byrne alone, feeling a little embarrassed.

But Byrne still breathed a sigh of relief. The few months after Chris left seemed extremely long, and the Fisher family was almost unable to hold on.

The Case family has been making more and more demands, and they did not stop embezzling even after receiving a large number of gifts.

It is more likely that the Garcia family behind the scenes is pushing too hard. The Case family has been forcing the Fisher family to let go or even leave Nasir Town.

The Case family has not yet released the kidnapped son of Theo, and wants to completely intervene in the management of this town.

Mayor Nasir, who has long since stopped being in charge and lives in seclusion, is just a figurehead. All the affairs of the town, big or small, are now decided by the Fisher family, who maintain the operation of the entire family through the various benefits they gain from controlling the town.

If the town of Nasir were completely lost, it would be a catastrophic blow to the Fisher family.

They tortured and killed workers in the town of Nasir, led cultists to attack late at night, and kidnapped relatives of family members.

The actions of the Case family have reached a point where the Fisher family can no longer tolerate it.

They must launch a counterattack and cannot just wait to die in silence!

“I’ve finally waited for this.”

Byrne, Irene, and Chris gathered in the basement.

Soon Chris will be promoted to the third level of the "Path of Silence".

They will hold a small meeting first, and then call Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald into the basement to participate in the sacrifice together.

Although they are all lost believers of the Order of Dawn, the Fisher family is still the absolute core of the secret organization.

Byrne looked at the three people and said, "Actually, before we officially start the sacrifice, I plan to decide a very important matter at a family meeting."

"Should we give John and Theo blood so that they can obtain the great gift of the Lost Lord?"

"In fact, we have always needed more blood recipients. It is too difficult to support the family with the strength of just a few of us. It is like walking on a thin surface of ice. It seems safe, but in fact, you may fall into the deep ice cave at any time."

Irene was silent for a while, then said, "I recently tested them, and Tio is still the same as before, with no intention of getting involved in anything related to 'nothingness'."

"As for John, he quickly evaded the deeper topics of religion with unbearable shrewdness, like a loach slipping in the hand."

So that's how it is. After listening to Irene's statement, Byrne already had a specific answer in his mind.

Chris remained silent. He had said too much in recent times.

I don't want to say another word.

Byrne took out the voting scale again, placed it on the wooden table in the basement, and nodded.

"Let's get started."

They took turns writing down their opinions on pieces of paper and put them on the scale one by one. In the end, the results of the three were exactly the same!

Three votes in favor of Theo becoming the blood recipient, and three votes against John becoming the blood recipient.

In fact, in Fischer's family meetings, it is extremely rare for a resolution to be passed unanimously, and it was passed unanimously twice on the same day.

They could all sense what kind of person Theo was. That man was loyal and valued honor, and he had already been the most core and trusted member of the family.

Even though Theo doesn't care about gods or religion, there's no need to worry about his loyalty.

As for the maritime merchant John, although the Fisher family has been cooperating with him for more than ten years, the relationship between the two has always been purely that of partners.

Both parties traded on an equal footing and helped each other, but neither took even a step beyond the line.

John himself was very shrewd and extremely afraid of being involved in any unnecessary danger, so he did not give Irene any opportunity to preach.

Byrne could even guess that after John learned of the existence of the Lord of the Lost, in order to save his life, he would definitely swear an oath at the first opportunity, declaring that he was willing to join the Order of the Dawn and never betray the Lord of the Lost.

However, he would certainly be filled with fear and anxiety deep in his heart and would be completely unwilling to join a dangerous heretical sect.

If John was forced to join the Order of Dawn, the final result might not be good. Byrne and others felt that it was not a good thing, and it would be better to let him be a collaborator.

Now that the voting was complete, Byrne nodded again and continued:

"I'll call the three of them over, and call Theo in as well. First, we'll perform the Lost Ceremony to make Theo the recipient of blood, and then we'll perform the Blessing Ceremony to allow Theo and Chris to receive the power bestowed by God."

Soon, there were seven people standing in the basement.

Vanessa, Eric, and Archibald all maintained solemn expressions.

"What on earth is going on!"

Theo's face was filled with shock and astonishment!

He had long guessed that there might be a secret door in the basement of the manor that could lead to a deeper underground space.

But I never imagined that there was such a spacious underground second floor under the Fisher family's house!

"Tio, we need to explain everything here to you."

Byrne stared seriously at his swordsmanship teacher, the captain of the guard, and continued speaking rigorously.

"You should have noticed that, although it hasn't been made public, Vanessa and the others suddenly have extraordinary powers."

"And all of this stems from the great Lost Lord. He is the deep root and foundation of our Fisher family. He is the past, present, and future."

In the next few minutes, Byrne selectively told Theo many important truths that had been hidden for many years.

Vanessa and the other two had already heard it once and continued to listen silently.

"I was really surprised that this would happen. I never thought the truth would be like this."

Theo was completely stunned and his mind went blank. He could sense that the Fisher family might have some kind of secret, but he could never imagine such an astonishing possibility!

Irene asked calmly, "Tio, are you willing to join the Dawn Cult and become a member of the Lost Lord's Gift of Asylum?"

"I...I do."

He hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Things went smoothly, and Theo had little resistance to joining the Order of the Dawn.

He felt that there was actually not much difference. He would serve the Fisher family no matter what. If he could gain extraordinary powers through this, then that was naturally a good thing.

Next, Theo followed Irene and Byrne into the spirit world and became the recipient of blood.

His eyes were filled with shock from beginning to end. For a middle-aged man who knew nothing about mysticism, religion and other things, the amount of information he obtained today was simply too much, enough to repeatedly impact his worldview!

The next step is to offer sacrifices to the Lord of the Lost and pray for His blessings.

Everyone knelt down, and Irene performed the ceremony very skillfully. Only Theo was staring at every step in amazement, still unable to recover.

The path he was given was a brand new stairway to godhood.

The road to power!

Sequence force "servant"!
