They were not wearing masks.

It wasn't pointed at my head.

Hex, along with Grace and Emily, were taken by gangsters to a dark warehouse in the lower city.

It looks like an ordinary warehouse on the outside, but inside there are many staff members dressed in black. In the center of the wall, there is an inverted cross that is particularly eye-catching.

That's the symbol of the United Front.

Grace's hands trembled as she repeatedly made the sign of the cross on her chest, silently praying.

As a devout believer, she nearly fainted the moment she saw the inverted cross.

She had heard of the United Front before; in the rumors, it was an extremely rebellious and terrifying organization. She never expected that she would be kidnapped and taken to their stronghold.

"You, you are so rebellious!" Grace said haltingly.

"Rebellion?" Ada chuckled.

"Miss Grace, your sister was kidnapped. Was she rescued by the church?"

"Did the pastor you usually consult, besides asking for your pounds, actually help you?"

"Oh right, I forgot, poor people in the lower city are not eligible to enter the church."

"The church only serves the rich."

"The church is only located in the Upper Town."

Ada looked at her, her eyes suddenly becoming very serious.

"During your moments of pain and despair, didn't you ever have any doubts—"

"Can God truly save humanity?"

Every word Ada uttered pierced Grace's heart like a needle.

"No." Her face turned pale.

"I, I, I—"

She stutters when she gets nervous and can't say a word.

"Alright, is it fun to bully a lady who has never been to school?" Hex interrupted Ada.

"Your united front shouldn't portray yourselves as so noble."

"Outrageous words!" Benev, his face wrapped in thick bandages, stared intently at Hex, his eyes blazing with fury.

He was humiliated by Hextech's punch, and was furious.

"Aren't those gangsters all your men?" Hex glanced at him.

"When they collected protection money and lent money at exorbitant interest rates, they never gave the poor a discount."

Ada covered her mouth and chuckled: "That was just a necessary measure."

"For some actions, we must rely on these dynamic social organizations."

"Double standards," Hex said.

"You and the church are no good!"

This statement drew angry glares from many of the United Front's members, but they also felt a strange sense of honor in associating the United Front with the Church.

"You guys are really outrageous, blatantly setting up a base here." Hex looked surprised. "Aren't you afraid the Church will find out?"

Ida responded frankly: "Manchester is an important base for us."

Do you know why?

"The church oppresses, the common people suffer, and there is no hope."

"Many people have long since despised that false saint who was bound to the cross."

Ida emphasized, "It was the people of Manchester who chose the united front."

"Instead of us choosing Manchester."

"We did not incite the people to join us; everything was their choice."

Hex clicked his tongue.

These words were quite persuasive, which is what sets the United Front apart from other villainous organizations.

Unlike many game-playing trust giants that aim to destroy the world or gain power, such as villainous corporations like Umbrella and Colossus, they often take the upper-class route.

For example, elite politics and the elimination of humankind.

However, the United Front took a grassroots approach.

The upper echelons had long been completely divided up by the church, nobles, and princes, leaving them no room to survive.

Therefore, they turned to cultivating the grassroots and focused on an anti-authoritarian and anti-church approach.

Although they did not openly oppose God, they raised a clear banner of anti-Jesus Christ, and their core ideology was extremely radical.

Jesus Christ is a false saint, a traitor to God, and a demon of hell. He came to earth to cooperate with hell and cause the world to suffer.

Therefore, they declared that the church and its doctrines were false and terrible shackles, and that only by overthrowing the church and burning its doctrines could humanity achieve true liberation.

It must be said that in the real world, this atheistic ideology is quite advanced, but in this world, it is excessively radical.

Because God truly exists in this world.

Although the church is corrupt and reactionary, humanity's survival to this day is inseparable from its protection.

"Alright, we should have a proper talk, Mr. Haytham," Ada said.

"Or rather, Mr. Hex Horus?"

Ada walked to the table, picked up a report, opened it, and slowly began to read.

"Hex Horus".

"16 years old, 160 cm tall, 52 kg."

As she read this, she looked Hex up and down carefully and chuckled softly.

"This data needs to be updated now."

"He is 2.1 meters tall and weighs 115 kilograms."

"The second-generation meta-Christ matrix brings you a completely different evolution."

"Miss Emily's evolution leans towards the spiritual and mental level."

"And Mr. Horus, you are an evolution on a physical level, aren't you?"

In fact, Hextech still doesn't know what kind of evolution the Meta-Christ matrix gave him.

It seems to provide a slight boost to vitality, but it's negligible.

His formidable physique was a gift from his astral body and the Goliath giant.

In theory, the meta-Christ matrix injected into Hextech would grant humans the ability of pseudo-holy rites.

Holy Scrolls, to put it simply, are another name for superpowers.

Because it was monopolized by the church, it was called a sacred list.

Each sacred talisman represents a superpower.

From controlling fire and water to dealing with gravity, everything is a sacred deity.

In the original storyline, the protagonist's abilities are telepathy and super-fast thinking, making him suitable as a team commander. However, this ability is not prominently featured in the story and is far less effective than the attacks of powerful characters.

But Hextech is certain that he has not yet awakened a Holy Talisman.

However, he did not intend to deny it, but simply remained silent.

Seeing that Hex remained silent, Ada continued reading the documents.

"Mr. Horus came to Manchester to stay with relatives 15 days ago."

"I lost my memory due to an unexpected incident."

"Later, the butcher found out and he originally planned to turn you into canned meat."

"Ultimately, you were sent to Frankenstein's laboratory to become a test subject."

"How mysterious! Fifteen days ago, your records were completely blank!" Ada's eyes were full of curiosity.

"Where are you from?"

"Mysterious?" Hextech retorted.

"Such a background is nothing special in the Lower City."

More than half of the people here do not have parents.

"That's true." Ada casually put down the sparse document.

She lightly rested her elbow on the table, her slender white fingers supporting her chin as she leaned forward, her beautiful face suddenly drawing close, no more than half an inch away from Hex.

Her skin was smooth and flawless, with a delicate fragrance of orchids lingering around her, mingling with her unique languid allure, captivating hearts in every way.

"Then, can you tell me where you come from?"

Her voice trailed off softly and seductively, her eyebrows curving into a sly smile. Her warm breath brushed against Hex's ear, each word spoken with a casual, teasing tone.

"Mr. Hex Horus."

"If you tell me, I can give you a reward..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she was almost right in front of him, her lips brushing against his skin almost imperceptibly, her breath sweet and fragrant, her allure natural and captivating.

If it were a typical gentleman or a virtuous gentleman, he would be flustered by this closeness and turn his head away with a blush.

Even the camera protagonist in Hell Invasion was frequently teased by characters with large breasts and long legs.

But Hextech isn't that kind of person; instead, he went with the flow.

He lowered his head and kissed her.
