Priscilla sat down at her desk again, looking thoughtfully at the documents on the table.
He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, his face shrouded in sorrow.
One crime after another has been delivered directly to the mansion's doorstep since this morning.
After nearly a week of tension, this is the twentieth crime to break out in Shulburn.
To be honest, this left Priscilla feeling somewhat powerless.
Bishop Michaela's warning came true; the cultists did indeed launch a rampant attack on Shulbon.
Taking advantage of their ability to blend into the crowd, they boldly committed crimes in every corner of Shulburn.
From theft, street violence, and intentional homicide to vandalism of public facilities.
Criminal acts were rampant, including bank robberies and open attacks on the Church of Abundance.
Normally, major crimes that occur only once a month in Shulburn are now happening one after another, with extremely negative consequences.
It was as if all the possible and impossible events of the year in Shulburn had been piled up together.
Although these criminals have been arrested, their identities as cult members were directly exposed during the interrogation process.
Priscilla didn't even need to specifically seek out fellow vampires for testing, which somewhat eased her burden.
However, the presence of these cult members still seriously disrupted the daily lives of the residents of Shulbon.
The continuous criminal activity instilled fear throughout the entire town of Shul, with people dreading the prospect of being attacked by desperate criminals the moment they stepped outside.
The most troublesome thing is that these cult members are extremely difficult to prevent.
They are skilled at disguise and blending into the crowd.
Sometimes, even within a single family, someone may have been unknowingly replaced by a cult member.
Vampires can identify humans by detecting the scent of blood on their bodies.
However, to achieve absolute accuracy, close contact is still required.
Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to send vampires to blend into the crowds on the street to find these believers.
It is likely that the smell of human blood would make the vampires extremely thirsty, which would have the opposite effect.
It's unclear how Bishop Michaela intends to handle this matter.
Immediately afterwards, the study door slowly opened.
Priscilla frowned, intending to express her displeasure:
"Didn't I tell you to knock before coming in..."
But before she could finish speaking, she looked up and saw Lia standing at the door, smiling at her with narrowed eyes.
The stern reprimand instantly turned into a gentle smile.
"aunt!"
Priscilla smiled and quickly got up to greet her.
Hearing her exclamation, Lia also walked lightly into the study, smiling as she asked:
"Starting to worry again?"
Priscilla wanted to downplay the issue and avoid worrying Leah.
But when she caught sight of Miss Gwen following Lia into the study, she was immediately taken aback.
She almost forgot that her father's fiancée had a special ability to see through lies.
Let's just say it directly.
"Yes... Aunt, you can see for yourself."
She carefully organized the documents on the table and handed them to Lia.
Lia took the documents, flipping through the reports quickly in her skilled hands, her eyes scanning the pages rapidly.
She frowned when she realized that more than twenty crimes had occurred in Shulburn in a single week.
"Are you being targeted by someone?"
As a lord who has managed a vast territory for many years, Lia is well aware of the seriousness of this series of crimes.
If the problem cannot be resolved quickly, the residents of Shulburn may choose to relocate on a large scale.
The land of Shulburn is undoubtedly fertile and suitable for habitation.
The abundance here ensures that everyone who works hard will reap the corresponding rewards.
But by comparison, the residents of Shulbourne are clearly more concerned about their own safety.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have reacted so strongly to Priscilla because of the rumors that she, being a vampire, might harm humans.
Compared to life, what use is money? You need to be alive to enjoy money.
But Priscilla simply shook her head, saying with some annoyance:
"I don't know either……"
If she's offended anyone, it's probably only those lords who covet Shul's territory.
But they had already been sent to Guantana prison by the Duke of Balo, and those criminals were basically that group of evil believers.
Priscillas found it difficult to connect them.
Seeing Priscilla's reaction, Leah's brows furrowed even more.
She knew very well that such heinous crimes would not have occurred in Shulburn in the past.
So, when exactly did the problem begin?
Soon, Lia's thoughts returned to the day Gwen had just arrived.
That afternoon, on their way back to their territory, they encountered robbers.
At that moment, the group of robbers attacked Gwen as if they were committing suicide.
Looking back now, that incident seems to have been the first crime after Gwen arrived.
But now, one crime after another is emerging.
It was as if someone had learned of the arrival of a righteous messenger.
Then these evildoers seemed to surface one by one, awaiting the judgment of a righteous angel.
It sounded rather funny, but Leah couldn't laugh.
She suddenly realized that Victor's recent actions might indicate that all of this was true.
Otherwise, why would Victor bring Gwen into the kingdom, only to disappear within its borders under the pretext of serious injury?
