Devil's Bible

Chapter 248 Arrogance
"Is that so?" Nemes sat cross-legged in the solitary confinement room, receiving the report from Kru.

After transforming into a young man, Granny Bird chose to retreat after failing to defeat Kru in several battles.

The opponent was quite fast, and Kru was busy dealing with the underground park, so he didn't give chase. However, he did leave some curse marks for future tracking.

Nemus didn't care much about this; it was just a clone of a different kind of demon.

Nems is now more focused on the vanished 'Bird Granny'.

Indeed, in a short period of time, Nemus had already obtained information about Granny Bird.

The other party is a genuinely kind person who is respected by many in the South District.

Even within the fabricated agreement, there were people who had received her favors.

Whether they are good or bad, most people will respect her, because no one knows if they will one day be seriously injured and lying on the street waiting to die.

A person who can disregard external factors and focus solely on saving lives is a possible escape route.

As a result of this understanding and mindset, the place where Grandma Bird lives becomes increasingly safe.

When Zovin was taken in, those ruthless bounty hunters quietly gathered outside, partly because they wanted to preserve their last escape route.

After receiving the information, Nemus's expression was somewhat puzzling.

"Is this fate?" Nemus made a choice, letting Zovin grow up freely, thus avoiding any direct connection with Granny Bird.

According to the original 'story', their own people would clash with Granny Bird while chasing Zovin, resulting in Granny Bird's death.

This would not only allow Zovin to regain his spirits, but would also bring him new enemies and create internal problems.

Although the people who fabricated the agreement all signed contracts with Nemes and were quite loyal to him.

But this doesn't mean they're like subordinates in a game, with their loyalty locked and they won't betray you no matter what you do to them.

If Nemus does something they find unacceptable, these people might risk being tortured to death by the contract to betray Nemus.

But even if Nemus hadn't done that, Granny Bird still died a violent death.

This is no longer Nemes's problem, but rather Granny Bird's own fate has come to an end.

Her life was over, so even if it wasn't Nemes who sent someone to kill her, there would have been other factors that led to Granny Bird's death.

"However, this also freed me from most of the cause and effect." Nemus was more concerned with the changes in fate involved.

Amidst these changes, I also felt more of the effects of fate.

“No wonder, the right choice will be favored by fate.” In that situation, Naims chose to meet the challenge, which was the right choice. As a result, a lot of misfortune stayed away from him, while good luck accumulated in Naims’s favor.

“This matter of Granny Bird can be used to my advantage, thereby turning my enemies against each other.” Nemus immediately thought of a way to make Zovin and Arojie stand against each other.

As for Zovin, his willingness to act as bait to help Isabella ambush the Bone Monster already proved his stance.

It's highly likely that Isabella and the new peacemakers will protect him.

Zovin and Isabella will probably team up.

Next, I might encounter some trouble...

"Bang!" The door to the solitary confinement cell was kicked open, and Parsons appeared in the doorway. His entourage, who had brought him with him, stepped back quite naturally after kicking open the door.

"You're the Great Knight Nail of Tailwind Town?" Parsons stood at the door, raised an eyebrow, glanced at Nailmus, and then asked.

The nonchalance and disdain in his tone were unmistakable.

“Parsons Levine, you're the one who teamed up with that priest to try and get the History from me, right?”

“How can you say that?” Parsons’s contempt was undisguised. “You have no right to be involved in the annals of history. That stuff should have been mine.” “If you return the relevant items now, I might not hold you accountable.”

"Otherwise, your time as a great knight will come to an end."

"We might have to make a trip to the Judgment Prison in Qiquan City."

"And hand over that controlled whale transformation too." The squire who had kicked the door earlier stood next to Parson, looking at Nems with a smile, and spoke on behalf of his master.

It's normal for a master to personally reclaim something as important as historical records.

Controllable whale transformation is ultimately just one path for those at the bottom to advance to the steel species.

Although it is also important, the master doesn't need to speak up, otherwise it would seem too greedy and undignified.

Therefore, it was his attendant who spoke up.

"I will plead with Lord Parsons on your behalf. Perhaps you can return to Qiquan City and take a position there."

Seeing the two of them, Nemus smiled and shook his head. In just a few words, the arrogance of the master and servant had filled the entire solitary confinement room.

Engaging in this kind of communication is a complete waste of time.

What's even more interesting is that among the people following behind the two was the elderly pastor from before.

He, who had been too scared to speak by Naimus before, now seemed to have shaken off all the shadows. He stood up straight and looked down at Naimus.

"Then go ahead and do it, if you can."

"Close the door now and get out of the confinement cell!" Nems' words made Parsons' squire feel as if he had been greatly insulted.

Can Nemes be compared to his master Parsons?

What Parsons does is his master's prerogative.

You, a mere high-ranking knight from Wagtail Town, dare to order me around?
"Or are you, as the investigator's entourage, deciding to lift my confinement?"

Church rules stipulate that even when under a restriction order, Nemus remains a Grand Knight, representing the Church of Tailtail Town.

Therefore, Naims cannot be interrogated.

Even investigators from higher-level local authorities are not acceptable.

All they could do was investigate any potential problems with Nems within the limited timeframe.

They didn't close the door to the solitary confinement cell at that moment, because Nems believed that if they voluntarily admitted to stopping the investigation, there would be no problem ending the confinement.

"Hmph! Let's go." Parson wasn't angry when he saw that Nemes wouldn't budge. He was just a nobody from a small place, unaware of the greatness of the nobles of Qiquan City.

Later, Naim will surely regret his underestimation of him today.

The attendant didn't close the door, but instead glanced at the priest and asked him to come over and close the door.

The pastor immediately ran up to close the door and then tried to catch up with Parsons.

However, he was glanced at by the attendant, so he quickly fell half a step behind the attendant.

His mouth was full of dissatisfaction and accusations against Naims.

He said he would definitely make Nems hand over the items.

They then went on to talk about some dirty secrets from Naims, and so on.
