Chapter 171 Crisis
Saeko stayed in her apartment, feeling restless.

After such a long time, there was no feedback from any of the three disciple knights.

This made Saeko's heart hang in the air.

Did they complete their mission and go back?
It is possible.

This group of proud disciple knights only bows to the Archbishop and the Lord.

As an outsider like me, even a Japanese, I don't get any respect from them, so it's normal that they don't even say hello.

but.

If the mission was completed, why is there no news about Abe Nosuke?

The death of a member of Congress is big news.

Saeko paced back and forth, feeling increasingly uneasy.

At this moment, the cell phone on the sofa vibrated and rang.

Saeko turned on the video call.

Bridger Lowry, Regional Bishop of the West.

"Bishop Bridger, Saeko greets you." Saeko said, making a Protestant gesture.

In the mobile phone screen, Bishop Bridger Lowry was standing by the swimming pool in the villa, and women's cheers could be heard from time to time.

He was shirtless at the moment, wrapped only in a bath towel, and his face was still red.

Although he was clearly venting his feelings happily just now, Bridger Lowry's expression was very serious: "Ms. Saeko, what on earth happened in Tokyo?"

Saeko had a bad feeling in her heart: "Bishop Bridger, I don't understand what you mean."

"I just received news that all three Disciple Knights were killed in Tokyo." Bridger Lowry said sternly, beads of sweat oozing from his bald forehead.
"This is something that has never happened in recent years. Even when Protestantism and other religions have experienced friction, there has never been such a huge loss."

"Not long ago, one of the twelve holy spirits of the Kingdom of Heaven inexplicably perished. His throne was seized and his whereabouts are currently unknown. This has infuriated the Kingdom of Heaven, and a large-scale search for the throne is underway."

"Now, three Disciple Knights have died in Tokyo under mysterious circumstances. This kind of thing happened at such a time, especially since it's something I'm responsible for."

As Bridger was raging, a brown woman in a bikini stumbled over with a half-empty whiskey bottle.

She hugged Bishop Bridger from behind and said in a sweet voice, "Come on, honey, let's do it again."

Bridger Lowry had a ferocious look on his face. He grabbed the woman's head with his big hands and slammed it hard against the iron handrail next to the swimming pool.

With a clang sound.

Blood splattered from the woman's head, and as Bridger Lowry's big hand let go, she collapsed to the ground like a piece of rag.

He drooped and rolled into the swimming pool.

The swimming pool behind Bridger Lowry instantly turned crimson.

"Miss Saeko, we cannot let these three knights die in vain," Bridger Lowry said sternly. "Please investigate the cause of their death immediately and find out at whose hands."

"Their mission this time was to assassinate Councillor Abe Nosuke and Bishop Bridger." Saeko swallowed, "They probably died at the hands of Abe Nosuke."

"You don't have to remind me of their mission, Saeko." Bridger Lowry didn't even bother to call her Miss. "Everyone knows this is a strong possibility, but I don't want a possibility, and the Archbishop doesn't want a possibility either."

"What we want is a definitive explanation. We need to confirm whether the murderer is Abe Nojaku or someone behind her. If it's not her faction, then who else has jumped out? Who is really working against us? We want the facts. Do you understand?"

"No matter who it is, we need certainty rather than possibility. We need to assess the opponent's strength. Training a disciple knight is not that simple. We can't continue to suffer endless losses."

"Understood, Bishop Bridger." Saeko nodded. "I will investigate immediately."

"Also, Abe Nosuke and another congressman whose name is what?" Bridger Lowry said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"Shiraishi Nagimitsu."

"Yes, they both must die. This A-level mission has been upgraded to SS-level. I don't want the people I send in later to die in such an unclear manner. We need to know the enemy's strength."

"Yes, Bishop Bridger." Saeko nodded. "Can I contact the Saint? Just to investigate."

"Okay." Bridger Lowry breathed out, "As soon as possible, Saeko. The situation is difficult right now. If I fall, it will be hard for you to say anything."

Hang up the video call.

Saeko's mind was in turmoil, wondering who had done this.

The three disciple knights were all dead. Abe Noque was definitely not that powerful, otherwise she wouldn't have come back alive when David tried to test her the first time. Who was behind her?
I have only been driven away for some time, but Tokyo has become incomprehensible to me.

and also.

What happened to that saint? Why can’t I get in touch with her?

The University of Tokyo Underground Research Institute.

Is this the throne of God?
Zhou Yuanyan closed his eyes curiously and examined the brand in Fang's left hand.

"Why don't you stay and play?" Fang Zuo gestured to hand it to him.

"If my realm hadn't regressed, I would have really studied it." Zhou Yuanyan shook his head. "But my realm has regressed so much, and I've taken a different path. I can no longer suppress this thing. I don't want to attract a bunch of religious lunatics and destroy my laboratory."

"Besides, this thing is useless to you and me. We don't share the same system of faith and incense."

"I heard what the Holy Spirit said about the New Testament kingship." Fang Zuo said.

"It's a bit difficult to explain it to you in detail. You can think of it as a kind of Protestant covenant, a governing contract between God and man. It's like, while believers need God, God needs believers even more."

"These religions rely solely on faith and incense to achieve godhood. They never cultivate themselves. All their power comes from faith."

"If there aren't enough believers, even the Kingdom of God and Heaven will collapse, let alone the throne of God. However, the God in Heaven has no way to control the believers, so the New Testament monarchy was born to manage the believers on God's behalf. For example, the archbishop of Protestantism and other similar religions are similar."

Fang Zuo frowned: "Can this kind of contract be plundered?"

"Do you think this is a tiger talisman? You can use it just by grabbing it." Zhou Yuanyan said with a smile: "However, with your ability, you can find an archbishop to try it out."

A woman in a black dress appeared in an abandoned manor in the mountains outside Tokyo.

She has a graceful figure, an oval face and a slender neck, which look a little frighteningly white against the black dress.

The manor was badly damaged, with broken walls and beams everywhere.

A group of construction workers were busy cleaning up the ruins.

"Miss, what are you doing here? This is a private place and visitors are not allowed." A foreman walked forward.

"Sorry, uncle, I was running past here and came in to take a look." The woman smiled slightly.

"Let's go, there's nothing to see here." Another worker came over and said, "I heard this place is..."

"Shut up, Jubei, and stop talking nonsense!" the foreman shouted.

"Yes, yes." The worker scratched his head embarrassedly: "Let's go, miss, we are about to get off work. It will be difficult to walk on the mountain road when it gets dark, and it is not safe."

"Thank you, uncles. I'll leave right away." The woman turned around, took one last look, and left the manor.

"Jubei, you guy, how can you talk nonsense like that?" The foreman patted the worker's shoulder in annoyance and said in a low voice.

"Haha, boss, thanks for reminding me, eh? Where did that lady go? She disappeared so quickly?" The worker just turned around and the woman disappeared.

"Speaking of Jubei, what did that young lady look like? Do you remember?" The foreman rubbed his head in confusion, "Why can't I remember her appearance at all?"

"Boss, it's true what you said. I can't remember what he looks like either." The worker said in surprise.

They both shuddered at the same time.

I heard that many people died here, it can't be...
"Hurry up, hurry up." The foreman quickly called out to the workers: "It's time to get off work, everyone go home early to hug your wives."

The woman in the black dress walked gracefully down the mountain.

Place one finger in the center of your forehead.

The deaths of the old men were so quick, how could such a powerful figure suddenly appear around Rena Morisawa?

Where did she find these people?
Could it be that the Yamaguchi-gumi has a new backer?
It seems that we have to find a way to find out the truth, otherwise the Yamaguchi-gumi may not be able to be taken back into our hands just by killing Rena Morisawa.

How can I get closer to Rena Morisawa?

The woman in the black dress pondered.
