How Are You Two Here?

Brandt quickly looked closer, and when the pocket opened again, Brandt finally saw what was inside—a book!

A book that was deemed contraband by the Church!

It must have been found during the mission. Contraband found during these missions should have been destroyed on the spot or handed over to the evidence team, but he put it in his own pocket instead.

Based on the tone of his voice just now, Brandt made a startling deduction.

High Priest Patjee is actually a love criminal!

Despite his shock, Brandt couldn't help but feel happy.

Discovering a love criminal hiding in the upper echelons of the Church is a much greater achievement than killing a thousand ordinary love criminals. With this achievement, he can certainly become High Priest!

Thinking this, Brandt was immediately excited, and a smug smile appeared on his lips. "Priest Airo Partger, I'll use you as my ladder to advancement!"

Although Brandt was excited, he did not show it. He waited until he had finished his mission and confirmed that Elo Partger had not handed the book over to the evidence department before parting ways with him and going to Vice Chairman Dupont's office alone.

Normally, a low-ranking priest like Brandt wouldn't be qualified to request a meeting with DuPont, but since he heard that there were important matters concerning the Church to report, DuPont still granted him a meeting.

After the meeting, Brandt reported his findings directly to Vice Chairman Dupont.

DuPont's expression changed upon hearing this. If, as Brandt said, High Priest Partger was indeed a sentimental criminal, then the matter was serious. This meant that the Resistance Organization, which they had previously underestimated and considered a minor nuisance, had extended its influence into the upper echelons of the Church, rather than simply being a group of powerless civilians resisting as they had previously thought.

Although Airo Partja was High Priest, he was still subject to a search according to regulations if someone reported him. Moreover, the significance behind this matter was extraordinary, so DuPont immediately ordered Brandt to lead a team to search Airo Partja's home.

Brandt remained outwardly calm, but left DuPont's office with a heart full of joy, and in high spirits gathered his men to head towards Airo Partger's house.

After Brandt left, DuPont thought for a moment and then ordered Chen Mo and John Preston, who had already returned home, to immediately go to the door of Airo Partger's house. After Brandt led the main force to arrive, they would search Airo Partger's house together.

After all, Elo Partja is a High Priest with extremely strong combat capabilities, and it is very likely that Brandt, an ordinary priest, and a few dozen ordinary soldiers will not be able to suppress him.

When Brandt arrived at Elo Partger's house downstairs, full of pride, he saw Chen Mo and John Preston waiting for him, which made his face instantly darken.

Especially Chen Mo, whose black priest's robes reignited the jealousy that Brandt had managed to suppress!

I was the one who discovered it, so why should I give the credit to him?

Brandt was confident that his strength was no less than that of High Priest; all he lacked was opportunity and merit. He had originally planned that even if Elo Partjat wanted to surrender, he would find a way to force him to take action so that he could kill him himself!

This not only solidified their achievements but also proved their abilities.

Elo Partger had recently been arranged to marry by the Church and had a wife, which was a good bargaining chip. He could directly accuse her of being a love criminal and make a move on her, forcing Elo Partger to fight back.

He had planned it perfectly, but when he saw Chen Mo and John Preston waiting downstairs, he knew that his plan was doomed to fail.

These two were clearly sent by Vice Chairman Dupont, both because they were uneasy about his abilities and worried that he might cause trouble, since the previous report was only his side of the story.

But he suddenly dispatched two High Priest, whose ranks were above his own. How could he, Gray Robe Cleric, lead the team? This was clearly an attempt to strip him of his command authority!

A flurry of thoughts flashed through his mind. In front of Chen Mo and the soldiers, Brandt tried his best to suppress his anger and led his team forward as if nothing had happened.

"Cleric Preston, Reverend James, what are you doing here?"

John Preston didn't speak, but Chen Mo glanced at him and said in a cold voice.

"Vice Chairman DuPont was worried that you wouldn't be able to handle it, so he sent us to help. Now that you're here, let's get started."

Chen Mo's tone was calm, but it fueled Brandt's anger. He said it was supposed to be assistance, but the way he took over command of the operation right away was hardly assistance.

He had barely had time to enjoy the team leader title he had earned before he had to hand it over, which filled Brandt with resentment.

Brandt was very dissatisfied with DuPont's order to let Chen Mo and John Preston get involved. He felt that the credit he had worked so hard for was going to be given to others for nothing. However, he had no choice but to obey DuPont's order.

Fortunately, he was the whistleblower and personally participated in the arrest. He deserves the most credit for finally capturing Airo Patjee. However, his plan to force him to resist and then kill him was thus thwarted.

Struggling to control his emotions, Brandt lowered his head, gritted his teeth, and followed Chen Mo and the other man to the front of Elo Partger's house.

Seeing that Chen Mo and the other person were standing side by side at the door without saying anything, Brandt had no choice but to order the soldiers to break down the door.

Although he was the one giving the orders, it was different from when he led the troops himself. Now, he was the one giving orders to the soldiers as the lowest-ranking of the three priests.

It's like the difference between driving yourself and being someone else's driver.

Didn't you see those two High Priest standing there without looking to either side? They didn't need to say a word; all they had to do was grasp the overall situation.

Brandt struggled to suppress his anger. "You just wait!"

After this, I will definitely become High Priest. You must not end up like Elo Partja and fall into my hands!

Without mentioning how fierce Brandt was secretly plotting, the door was kicked open by soldiers with a loud bang, and more than a dozen fully armed soldiers filed in.

"Don't move!"

"Stay where you are!"

After a period of noise and chaos, the room returned to calm. Chen Mo and John Preston then calmly walked in one after the other. Brandt, seeing the two men's imposing manner, gritted his teeth and followed them in.
