Chapter 475 Offline

Over the next two days, Keith Cadivin introduced Watson to a partner and went out with him. Everything else was no different from how they would entertain other businessmen in the past.

There was only one thing Watson was sure of, and this group of people believed in some unknown religion.

After a while, anyone could not help but be curious, so Watson asked a few questions.

Everyone was originally interested in the discussion, but after he asked this question, they quickly calmed down and found an excuse to shirk the topic in a flat tone. In short, their attitude was: we won't play with you.

People are actually a bit mean.

If everyone came together to promote their own beliefs to Watson Grosvenor, Watson would definitely rebel. Even if he couldn't refute it openly for the sake of face, he would definitely not agree with it in his heart.

But the more people tried to hide it, the more curious Watson became.

After having a few meals and dancing together, they became familiar with each other and could barely be considered friends. After he asked more and more questions, some people couldn't help but make excuses and told him some of the contents of Zhishenlu.

Watson Grosvenor thought that everyone was just talking casually.

But he didn't understand that this was the lecturer that Ah Ju arranged for him according to the procedure.

Each person chatted with him for thirty to forty minutes, and after a day or two, he had a vague understanding of this Zhizhi God.

Different from the gods that everyone believes in nowadays, Zhizhi God has a unique painting style. Those fantastic plots in the novel reveal rationality in the irrationality. Everything is so incredible.

During the past two days, the group occasionally told him stories about witnessing the divine presence, which made Watson Grosvenor shake.

After all, they don't preach to themselves, so it's impossible for them to make up stories just to deceive themselves, right?

After listening to the sharing of the mentor, no, the churchman, Watson Grosvenor could not help but feel yearning and asked, "Can I join the Zhishen Church like you?"

The instructor paused, looked at him appraisingly, then shook his head and said, "You are not qualified."

Watson Grosvenor immediately became dissatisfied and asked, "Why am I not qualified?"

The mentor in front of Watson didn't have a better family background, wealth, or good looks than him, but he was qualified. How come he, who came from the famous Grosvenor, was not qualified to join such a small sect?

Seeing that Watson was angry, the tutor did not explain further. He just made an excuse, saying that he had something else to do, and then left.

Watson was so angry that he went to find Keith Cadivinxu. Keith Cadivinxu didn't ask any more questions, but just said, "Old man, there's a birthday party for the Secretary of the Financial Secretary tonight. Would you like to come with me?"

Although this guy who manages money is not as important as the Governor, he is still one of the most important figures in Hong Kong. If there is a chance, Watson Grosvenor would naturally like to get to know him. So he suppressed his dissatisfaction, nodded, and prepared to attend the banquet in the evening.

Then, Keith Cardiwenxu kindly introduced Watson to the director. In the director's study, he saw the book "The Record of the Gods" that he had read many times in Keith Cardiwenxu's home.

Watson asked curiously, "Are you also a member of this church?"

The director nodded calmly.

Watson was very curious. After all, he had only met businessmen before. He didn't expect that people working in the government also believed in this. He asked, "Can I borrow this Bible from you?"

The director stuffed the Zhishenlu into the drawer in front of him, and then smiled at him apologetically: "Sorry, sir, please forgive me for being rude, but this is my favorite thing and cannot be lent out."

Watson was turned down and had to leave in embarrassment.

Then Keith Kadiwenxu took him to meet a government official who was still a follower of the Zhishen Cult.

Watson was really curious and asked, "Sir, you are all members of this sect, and many of you are just like me, with no big difference. Why do you say I am not qualified when I want to join?"

The man smiled and did not answer directly: "I am sorry for your trouble, but unfortunately you are not qualified."

Watson couldn't stand it any longer, so he went back to ask Keith Kadiwenxu about it that night. Keith explained to him the qualifications for joining the church, and at the end he comforted him: "It's not a big deal, don't take it too seriously."

Watson was not convinced. You all have joined, and you told me it's okay, but I don't believe it. Watson asked him, "Then can't you recommend someone for me?"

Keith Kadiwenxu looked apologetic: "Sorry, old man, my quota is full."

Out of guilt, Keith Cudwinsh recommended Watson to the Governor.

After being brainwashed by the Governor, Watson grabbed Keith Kadiwenxu and started to get mad: "Why can you all join but I can't? Old man, can you think of a solution for me?"

Keith Kadiwenxu showed a trace of guilt in his eyes at the right time, and then comforted him: "Old man, calm down. This is not a big deal. If you don't want to join, then don't join."

Watson Grosvenor caught the guilt in his eyes: "Old man, you can't fool me, you must still have recommendations, right!"

Keith Cardiff hesitated, and under his repeated questioning, he had to admit: "I do have a vacancy, but you know, I have a sister who married in Tayside..."

The implication is clear: the spot is hard to come by, so I want to save it for my younger sister.

Watson Grosvenor thought for a moment and said, "Give me the place, and I promise I can reserve one for your sister in the future!"

Keith Cardinal began to hesitate.

Watson Grosvenor grabbed his collar and shook him: "Oh, old man, you make me so sad. We have been friends for so many years, don't you even believe me about this?"

Finally, under his strong request, Keith Kadiwenxu reluctantly agreed to recommend him to the church.

Watson Grosvenor carefully prepared the membership offering, waited at home for two days, and urged Keith Cardeven several times.

After much urging, Keith Cadivinxu finally took Watson on a cruise to the outlying island in the evening two days later.

Yes, this island has been requisitioned by the Shiba Shinto cult and became their first church.

With Aju's guidance, the church is beautifully decorated.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the statue, which is stunningly beautiful and reveals a different kind of weirdness.

Under the statue stood a woman (Aju) wearing a white dress and a diamond-decorated winged mask.

On the left and right stood five people wearing black robes and white feather masks (ten priests).

The scene was both mysterious and solemn.

Influenced by the environment, Watson and his group of twenty newbies, holding the treasures they had prepared to offer to the gods, stepped into the church with trepidation.
