"Tch, here she comes." Kirishima curled his lip.
When the old woman saw Kirishima approach, her cloudy eyes suddenly lit up as though she had spotted a gold mine.
Moving with an agility that belied her age, she raised her large camera and snapped a flurry of photos of Kirishima.
Click! Click! Click! The dazzling flash kept going off.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of God!"
The old woman put away her camera, her face creasing into an exaggerated smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, her voice shrill.
"I am the surveillance officer of Heaven's Gate. You may call me the 'Sky Priestess'-Granny Amazon!"
As she spoke, she extended a withered finger and pointed at Kirishima, her tone filled with a mechanical enthusiasm.
"Do you wish to enter the sacred Kingdom of God, experience God's radiance, and have an audience with the great God Enel? Then please pay the entry fee first!"
Rubbing her fingers together, Amazon's smile grew even more "benevolent." "That will be one billion Eku! Thank you for your patronage!"
Kirishima stopped and looked at her expressionlessly, then leisurely reached into the left and right pockets of his black trench coat in turn.
His movements were crisp and efficient. He even turned the pocket linings inside out, and of course, without exception-they were empty.
He gave his trouser pockets a token pat as well. They were just as empty.
Finally, Kirishima Bupai spread his hands and shrugged at Granny Amazon.
His meaning was perfectly clear: no money. Not a single penny.
At that, the smile on Granny Amazon's face instantly froze like hardened cement.
Her shrewd gaze instantly turned as sharp and hostile as a vulture's, and her voice rose an octave. "What?! No money?!"
**"You have no money, yet you dare enter the sacred Kingdom of God illegally?!
