The baron's visit

"Good evening, Your Excellency."

All four people in the conversation bowed to the Archbishop who bore the title of "Saint."

Before this High Sequence Beyonder of the Sleepless pathway approached, Angel had already sensed him, as though a terrifying danger were drawing closer. But she knew that the stronger one's spirituality and the higher one's Sequence, the more clearly one could perceive this, so she did not warn the others.

This definitely isn't an innate ability. I felt nothing like this when I met him in his office last time. Could he be testing me and Dwayne Dantès...? Angel looked at Klein beside her and found that he had kept his expression and movements well under control. Like everyone else, he traced the Crimson Moon over his chest and praised the Goddess alongside the Archbishop.

"Your devotion and generosity are deeply heartening. This charity banquet has been a great success, thanks to Mr. Dwayne Dantès's proposal and everyone's enthusiastic support."

Lowering his right hand from the sacred emblem of darkness on his chest, Anthony smiled at Klein as he spoke.

"I've been coming to the cathedral often recently to listen to Bishop Electra's sermons. They have purified my soul and reminded me of the injustices I witnessed in my younger days. That was what gave me the idea to make this donation and inspired me to establish the Student Aid Fund."

Klein bowed slightly and answered respectfully, presenting the donation as a voluntary act rather than something prompted by the threats he had received over his shares.

*Of course, he could have sold those shares if he were willing to take a loss. But Klein chose to turn the situation into an act of charity instead. Perhaps it had something to do with what he saw in the East Borough
