A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 250 Odin, Unable to Enter, Tests the Old Ones
In the battle at the Chen family manor in the capital, the Gattuso family was undoubtedly the most embarrassed force.

They came here to find the King of Earth and Mountains, but the Chen family, their marriage partner, pulled off such a huge mess that they ended up being wiped out.

When the Gattuso family received the news from Percy in the capital, they felt more disgusted than if they had swallowed a fly.

What kind of in-laws are these? How come we never noticed before that the head of the Chen family is so stupid?

This very thing has even brought out the old church and caused the two elders of the Secret Party, the Laurent family and the Gorgentin family, to lose their fighting strength.

The Gattuso family must give an explanation, otherwise they will find it difficult to move an inch within the Secret Service and will inevitably face constraints from all sides.

After carefully reading Percy's reply, Frost, the acting head of the family, transformed into a desktop cleaning master, sweeping away all the paper documents and computer files on his desk.

The study door was pushed open, and a handsome blond man poked his head in: "Oh? Frost, why are you so angry? Did your wife cheat on you?"

The newcomer resembled Caesar, with blond hair and blue eyes, and muscular builds, but his attire was far more unrestrained and extravagant than Caesar's.

He wasn't wearing anything underneath, just a custom-made pure white suit jacket from Carlisle, paired with short denim shorts that didn't go past his knees, emphasizing a free and unrestrained style.

"!" Frost glared angrily, wanting to see who in the clan was so disrespectful as to dare to trespass into his study and even spread rumors about his wife.

That glare only fueled his anger, and the rebuke that was about to escape his lips instantly turned into a question: "Pompeii?! Why are you back?"

"Still dressed like that? Do you have any dignity left as the head of the Gattuso family?"

Pompeii grimaced, picked at his ear, and forgave Frost's rude question: "It's not like I'm dressed like this for the first time."

"So, you can get angry all you want, but don't take it out on me. What exactly happened?"

Frost's expression grew even more somber, but he still honestly recounted the events, after all, he was only the acting head of the family, while Pompeii, on the other side, was the true master of the Gattuso family at present.

"That's it?" Pompey shrugged with amusement, completely unconcerned about the Chen family's demise. "That woman? The one chosen for Caesar, is she still alive?"

Frost hadn't had such a headache when he was angry before, but now Pompeii's two sentences had made his head feel like it was about to explode. His temples were throbbing, and he quickly raised his hands to press them as he spun around: "Her name is Chen Motong."

"According to the message sent back by Percy, he is still alive."

"That's settled then?" Pompeii, having confirmed this, didn't linger for a second longer, and slammed the study door shut, much to Frost's chagrin.

The acting head of the family did not have X-ray vision and could not see Pompeii turning away through the door. His originally relaxed and indifferent expression instantly twisted into a ferocious one!

Lu Mingze arranged for Su Enxi to publicly release information about the King of Earth and Mountains on the Hunter Network, which was secretly managed by Pompeii. Of course, Pompeii would take notice!

Pompeii longed for the dragon bone cross of his other siblings, but had longed for it for many years. This time, he returned to the Gattuso family specifically to create an alibi.

Anyway, he can use the space to travel to the capital at any time, try to find a bargain, and seize the Dragon Bone Cross.

As a result, the Chen family offended people everywhere, and then Xia Mi joined the unknown force of the Old Church.

When Pompeii saw Xia Mi appear, he had already prepared a space-opening method so that he could cross continents and oceans at any time to reach the battlefield. However, a huge alchemical matrix was suddenly activated.

The massive alchemical matrix sealed off the capital city and its surroundings, temporarily prohibiting all methods of spatial creation, preventing Pompeii from participating even if it wanted to!
He was completely absent from this great battle involving the Dragon King and the Old Church!

Even with Pompeii's extensive resources and advanced alchemy, it would be difficult for them to break through this massive matrix remotely in a short period of time.

Pompeii could only watch helplessly as the ocean receded, and he did not appear at all.

Because spatial exploration was forbidden, Pompeii was very anxious and eager to know how the battle in the capital was going, which is why he went to Frost's study.

He was somewhat relieved to learn that the old church had won a great victory and that Xia Mi had not died.

As long as Xia Mi is alive, the Dragon Bone Cross will still exist, and Pompeii believes he will have another chance to slowly acquire it in the future.

Now Pompeii is left with only one question: which bastard was responsible for that damned, massive alchemical matrix that temporarily prevented his arrival?

Was it arranged by his sister Jormungandr? Or was it orchestrated by that old church?

……

"Achoo!" In the back seat of a black Toyota, Lu Mingze sneezed softly.

This immediately drew the attention of the three nannies, as it was the first time they had ever seen their boss sneeze.

"Don't be surprised." Lu Mingze said calmly, not looking at anyone, just gazing at the scenery outside the window: "Maybe someone is just talking about me."

"And Mai, keep your eyes on the road while driving." At Lu Mingze's reminder, Mai's vision returned to normal, causing Su Enxi in the passenger seat to instinctively tighten her seatbelt: "Long-legged, are you crazy? You're driving, how dare you look back?"

"Keep your eyes on the road and drive carefully!"

Mai Shude was completely unconcerned, her left hand lightly resting on the steering wheel, her right hand supporting her chin: "At this speed, I could drive with my eyes closed."

"Will you die if you don't brag? And you're driving with your eyes closed?" Su Enxi routinely teased her best friend, but dared not say anything to provoke her, for fear that Jiu De Mai was too skilled and daring and would actually try to drive with her eyes closed.

She's still in the car.

Su Enxi kept thinking to herself that the two people, Long Legs and Nobody, had abnormal physical abilities. Even if they were in a car accident, it wouldn't matter; they probably wouldn't even suffer minor injuries.

But she's physically weak, so if she gets into a car accident, she'll probably be the only one seriously injured. Who knows how long she'll need to recover?
Su Enxi didn't think much about her role as a liability, since she wasn't a combatant anyway. She simply pulled out a bag of potato chips and said, "Boss, no chips, nothing special, want some?"

Neither Lu Mingze nor Renata, who was also sitting in the back row, responded, clearly indicating that they did not need the potato chips.

Renata really wanted to eat, but since Lu Mingze was still there, she could only maintain her persona and not ask for food, according to her past habits.

She also had to learn and imitate Renata's emotions, always watching Lu Mingze with a somewhat worried look in her eyes.

Lu Mingze gently shook his head at Renata, indicating that he was fine. In the battle of the capital, it was his brother who was injured, not him. Lu Mingze just needed to rest and recover; he didn't have any serious injuries.

Renata maintained her expressionless face, but the Time Worm clone inside was practically sick of it. Damn it, having to look at people with that worried look every day was torture. She should have known better than to take this job.

After the battle of the capital, the three nannies received the boss's latest orders and left the capital overnight to go to Tokyo to gather information about the old church.

"We've arrived." Jiu De Mai parked the car, and Su Enxi and Lu Mingze, who was by the window, both looked out at the temple.

This place was originally a shrine dedicated to the fox god, but due to a lack of worshippers and difficulties in management, it was eventually bought by the Sumitomo Foundation and renovated into a former temple.

This is not surprising. Japan is said to have eight million gods, and everything can become a god or a Buddha. Even in modern society, there are more shrines and temples than convenience stores.

With so many shrines and temples vying for worshippers, there are bound to be some that can't survive and end up being taken over by the old church.

The original fox shrine was small and hidden in a residential area, giving it the appearance of a 'private shrine in the neighborhood'.

The Sumitomo Group is very wealthy and even bought the nearest residential area to facilitate expansion and to provide enough space for believers to enter, exit, and pray.

The overall style of the newly built old temple leans towards a bronze shrine design. It lacks traditional Japanese torii gates, purification ponds, and other front-end designs, and is simply a bronze temple standing there.

By using effective methods such as distributing eggs for free, the organization had already attracted many 'believers' who were greedy for small gains to come and pray shortly after its establishment.

For the old church, it was easy to talk as long as believers were willing to come. No matter if it was for eggs or not, as long as they came to pray, they would eventually see the phantom of God and become devout believers.

Lu Mingze glanced warily at the old temple but did not get out of the car.

He had to admit that he had been a little arrogant in the past and had not taken the mysterious and unpredictable Old Church seriously at all.

However, after learning his lesson once, Lu Mingze has taken this church seriously. This time, he came to investigate the old church.

Following Lu Mingze's instructions, Mai Jiude and Enxi Su, who were in the front row, got out of the car and pretended to be tourists. They naturally took out their phones and took selfies or photos of the temple's exterior along the way.

These two bright and sexy beauties were very eye-catching. Many people who came to collect eggs would glance at them casually, then quickly look away, and then steal another glance.

On the contrary, devout believers who have already seen the phantom of the deity through prayer are indifferent to it and sincerely pray, hoping to receive the deity's protection.

Unlike the old temple in the capital that was run by Zhou Minping alone, the old temple here is larger and has more staff.

Several temple keepers performed their respective duties: some preached and spread the doctrines, some led people in prayer, others distributed eggs, and still others maintained order.

The temple keeper in charge of distributing the eggs gave his colleague, Sumika Ogawa, a wink.

Ogawa Sumika understood, maintained a gentle smile, and took the initiative to approach Shutoku Mai and the other person: "I'm really sorry, you two, I'm sorry to bother you."

"You are free to take photos outside our temple, as long as you do not infringe on the privacy rights of others and do not photograph others. However, photography is prohibited inside the temple."

With the power of Word Spirit: Heavenly Evolution, Su Enxi has learned various languages ​​fluently. She put away her phone and replied in fluent Japanese: "Sorry, we didn't know beforehand."

Ogawa Sumika gently waved her hand, indicating that the outside of the temple was fine: "May I take up a little of your precious time?"

"I would like to give you a brief introduction to our future Savior, Lord Error."
