Although Iver had originally only come to collect his equipment, he suddenly realized something...
He seemed to have obtained the evidence already.
Minister Griffiths really was quite cautious.
He had destroyed all his incoming letters at once and left no evidence at home. The Ritual Arrays in his basement could only prove that he had attempted to summon demons, but they could not establish anything for certain—after all, merely trying was not a crime if he had failed. Minister Griffiths himself had no level in the Path of Transcendence, so there was no way to explain what ritual he had performed.
As for the Stibium Kingdom, it had clearly not provided him with any unusual funding.
As Minister of Trade, he had placed all his assets in Stibium, just like his predecessor. Only when he fled would he truly be able to cash out those assets.
Of course, if he died before he could flee, then all of it would be nothing more than a bad check.
Thus, Minister Griffiths's finances were clean, his letters were clean, his itinerary was clean, and his Path was clean. It seemed impossible to find any evidence.
But the holy relic Iver had taken from his shrine was evidence in itself.
Without a doubt, Avalon, which held considerable influence within the Nine Pillars God Church, could not possibly have a believer of Sister Sasha. An icon like that could never be bought in Avalon.
There were only two countries where Sister Sasha was worshiped: Iris and Stibium. And he had never been to Iris... As long as the Inspectorate conducted even a cursory investigation, it would be easy to determine that he had obtained it from Stibium.
Something like this would definitely have to be reported at customs. Otherwise, he would never have dared
