"Ugh... what is this?"
"Victor actually keeps a fox as a pet!?"
At this moment, she was incredibly surprised, and even the initial lingering unease vanished.
When did Viktor's aesthetic sense become so refined?
This is much prettier than that one-eyed black crow.
Lia longed to gently stroke the fox's soft fur.
But she quickly dismissed the idea, thinking that she shouldn't disturb the peaceful little life.
She quietly and gently covered herself with the blanket, then somewhat dazedly returned to her chair and sat down.
Looking out the window at the countless stars, I couldn't help but sigh softly.
I have no idea what Viktor has been up to.
Actually, Victor went to the Magic Tower to find Henney.
"I don't know if they've found it yet."
Lia muttered to herself.
Let's ask him when he gets back.
...
On the street at night, a mysterious and elegant gentleman stands.
He was dressed in a sharp black suit, wearing an elegant top hat and white gloves.
The man held a cane inlaid with silver gemstones in his right hand.
He wears a unique monocle over his right eye, making him look like an expert in appreciating antiques.
A silver chain hung from the crisp, straight clothing, and a high collar encircled the neck.
Black, unruly hair fell past her ears, swaying wildly in the night breeze.
Under the dim streetlights, Victor exuded an extraordinary gentlemanly air.
In the wealthy city of Shulbourne, the nightlife of nobles and the rich is just beginning.
The interplay of moonlight and lamplight creates a bright and peaceful atmosphere.
Cars come and go on the road, and the sound of horses' hooves echoes on the cobblestone surface, adding a unique rhythm.
The elegantly dressed ladies occasionally cast shy yet expectant glances at Viktor.
When their eyes meet Viktor's, they shyly look away.
The fact that women dare to stroll outside at night is enough to show that Shulburn is a very safe place.
Although they all had swords at their waists.
This is not uncommon in the kingdom; almost every citizen possesses a certain level of combat ability.
Even a woman you might casually encounter on the street could be at the level of a second-tier warrior.
Nevertheless, the good security here is not entirely due to the Clevner family.
After all, the lord here is Priscilla.
As for why Victor was on this street instead of staying safely in his room?
Although Viktor had originally planned to come out, the more important reason was—
He would have trouble falling asleep if Henne was in the room.
Similar to Lia's reasons, although Heni had been by Victor's side all along, she had been in the abyss of monsters for the past month.
The dangers around her prevented Henney from satisfying her desires.
She thought that now that they were finally back in a safe place, Viktor would surely agree to her request.
However, when she subtly expressed her desire to regain her human form, Viktor's response was only two words:
"Hold it in."
The reason is simple.
Even though Victor did accept them, he always prioritized efficiency.
For him, things that did not help him become stronger were naturally insignificant.
Of course, there is another reason.
It will be very tiring.
After all, after satisfying that illusory pleasure, all that remains is a deeper emptiness.
Given his lack of security, Viktor wouldn't easily do something so pointless.
This also reflects his mindset as a player.
If one has no woman in their heart, then drawing their sword will naturally make them a god.
Lost in thought, Victor had already arrived at his destination—the church.
church.
Since Count Laurean sacrificed his life to ensure the abundance of the land of Shulbon, the faith of the Church of Abundance has risen sharply in Shulbon.
They also established branch churches in other territories, thus expanding the believers of the Goddess of Abundance.
However, there are still very few believers who truly dedicate themselves to their faith.
After all, few people would willingly implement the doctrines of the Church of Abundance.
The church that Victor has now arrived at is not the central holy site of the Church of Abundance.
The actual cathedral is located in a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the city, close to the Shulbon territory.
The church in this city was built after the expansion of the Church of Abundance.
It was primarily used as a place for nobles to "atone" for their sins with money.
Viktor slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the night as he stared at the magnificent, ornately decorated, and sacred building.
Without lingering, he quickly walked into the church.
He walked through a corridor covered with a long golden carpet and arrived at the church entrance.
Even at night, the church is still brightly lit.
The magnificent candlelight cast a warm glow throughout the church, illuminating it and making it dazzling.
Deep inside the church, countless nuns dressed in white robes with black trim knelt before the statue of the goddess, praying devoutly.
As Viktor's footsteps sounded, a nun slowly stood up and walked steadily toward Viktor at the door.
"Sir, are you here to atone for your sins?"
She looked him up and down gently, and then reached out and gently took Viktor's arm in her hands.
Then place your palms on your chest and press gently.
"Then, please confess your sins."
"Instilled in me."
...
Bang!
A loud gunshot shattered the surrounding silence.
The nun in front of him rolled her eyes back as the bullet pierced through her skull from below.
Finally, she collapsed helplessly in a pool of blood.
At that moment, the gunshot drew all the nuns' attention.
They all looked up, their gazes fixed seriously on the doorway.
There, Victor stood as still as a statue, one hand gripping the still-warm revolver.
The muzzle was still warm, and the magical runes engraved on the gun barrel were still emitting a faint blue light.
The cooled gun barrel hissed smoke, and behind the swirling smoke were Viktor's cold and deep eyes.
At the same time, there was his still calm voice:
"You even."
"He doesn't want to be called Godfather."
