Chapter 150 Seizing the Divine Nest (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Wayne's words were like a bolt from the blue, striking Pastor Martin's mind and leaving him speechless, mouth agape.

In the United States, it is considered an extremely serious moral and professional disaster for a Protestant pastor to have an extramarital affair.

The consequences were almost devastating.

Once his extramarital affair is exposed, he will almost certainly be immediately suspended from his priesthood or dismissed from his job. His original salary and benefits will also disappear completely, and his pastor's license will be revoked, and he will be banned from public ministry for a long time or even permanently.

Moreover, the person will suffer social death, and his name will be completely removed from the church's official website, ministry platforms, media, and book attributions.

Utter death.

Not to mention that his extramarital affair was with a fellow church member, which is an even more serious sin.

Divorce and being rejected by children are inevitable.

He will go from a highly respected and admired pastor to a homeless man despised by everyone!

Deacon Anthony did not grasp the specific meaning of Wayne's words, but was enraged by Wayne's use of "my child".

Even if this person wanted to offer $1 to the Lord, it was still far too arrogant.

How could someone call a pastor "child" in a church?!

Who does he think he is?!

A series of terrible consequences flashed through Pastor Martin's mind in an instant. He suddenly jolted and quickly said, "Anthony, please step aside for a moment. I have some things to discuss with this gentleman."

Deacon Anthony exclaimed indignantly, "Pastor Martin, he actually—"

Martin's eyes widened in anger, and he said, "Get out of the way!"

Anthony could only shrug and leave dejectedly.

Did Pastor Martin want to use love to reform this rude fellow?

Judging from the other person's appearance, he seemed like a heretic, and Anthony was not optimistic about him.

Once Anthony had completely left, the dignified expression on Pastor Martin's face instantly crumbled. He looked at the black-haired, black-eyed man before him with some fear, and asked in a trembling voice, "Sir, who are you? Have I ever offended you? You—how much do you know?"

He had kept his extramarital affair extremely secret and never imagined that others would find out.

And the fact that the other party actually said Lucy's name directly shocked him to his core.

Wayne remained calm and slowly said, "Martin, my friend, call me Bruce Wayne."

Reverend Martin shuddered, staring at Wayne in disbelief, and said, "You—you're Bruce Wayne? The South Side Godfather, the Street Saint!?"

Before Wayne could answer, Pastor Martin said with a bitter face, "Sir, I'm so sorry, I—reporting to ICE was not intentional, this—this was Deacon George of the Harvest Festival Church at their request—"

"As a non-denominational church, we often collaborate with the Harvest Festival Church, so I simply cannot refuse this request."

Wayne raised an eyebrow.

Unexpectedly, Pastor Martin confessed without being asked anything; he had already told everyone the whole story.

No wonder ICE agent Tom warned me to be careful of the nearby church and the Gospel testimony when he left yesterday.

It turned out that it was Pastor Martin, who was standing right in front of him, who reported his charitable acts.

As for what Martin mentioned about Deacon George from the Harvest Festival Church, Wayne immediately remembered.

There was a church slum tour group that came to his neighborhood on a snowy day and treated the poor like animals. In the end, he ordered Old Will and his men to beat up the church tour group.

The one leading the group was that Deacon George.

Unexpectedly, after so many days, the other party is still secretly and sinisterly preparing for revenge.

Wayne said calmly, "Martin, my friend, and ICE, my friend as well. If you think I came here to get revenge on you, you are sorely mistaken."

He genuinely wanted to donate money to obtain a position or similar status within the church, thereby gaining legitimate religious protection.

I never expected that the first time I saw this priest Martin, I would read his huge fatal weakness from the panel.

It would be a disservice to Martin if he didn't use it.

Many things that I originally thought would involve a lot of detours have suddenly become much simpler.

Martin took a deep breath and quickly said, "Sir, I have heard of your great reputation before—"

He knew that Bruce Wayne was actually a ruthless killer who had supposedly subdued many gangs in the area and gathered a group of outlaws. He claimed to be a saint favored by God, but in reality, he was a gang godfather.

These are descriptions from Deacon George of the Harvest Festival Church.

"Please let me know if you have any requests. I will do my best to help in any way I can."

Wayne beckoned, and the puppy Wick jumped into his arms.

While stroking the dog's head, Wayne said calmly, "I have come to God's temple only to express my devout service to the Lord and to offer my respect."

As he spoke, he pushed the ten thousand dollars in cash to Pastor Martin.

Martin was taken aback and said, "Sir, you—you really want to donate to the Church of the Testimony of the Gospel?"

Is the other party serious?

But if the other party simply wanted to donate money, why go to such lengths to investigate him?

There's absolutely no logic to it.

Then Wayne continued, "Of course, I not only want to donate to the church, but I also want to help you completely control the entire Gospel Witness Church, making it the largest and most prosperous church in the South and even the whole of Seattle."

"At that time, you, my friend, will enter the White House, be summoned by the president, and preach to hundreds of millions of Americans on television."

The scene described by Wayne made Pastor Martin swallow hard, almost instantly immersing himself in this beautiful fantasy.

As a Protestant evangelical pastor, his greatest aspiration in life was to enter the White House and pray for the president, just like the leaders of various evangelical denominations.

The mere thought of using divine authority to suppress the world's supreme ruler was enough to give him an orgasm.

Martin knew all too well that he was merely a pastor in an ordinary Protestant evangelical non-denominational church and had no right to claim that position.

There are 20 Protestant evangelical churches in the United States, so he wouldn't even be the one to be gang-raped.

Just thinking about the influence this man wielded on the streets of South Seattle, Martin couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope again.

He couldn't help but give a wry smile and said, "Sir, may I ask you why you chose me? I'm just an ordinary, unremarkable pastor."

Wayne said slowly, "Let's just consider it fate, Martin."

Martin sighed and said, "But, sir, you should at least let me know what you want—"

'

Wayne remained calm and said, "Martin, my friend, I just want your respect. How you show me that's up to you—"

"Of course, at the same time, some of my friends also want to join Christ's Witness Church and become a part of it, and I think you will be satisfied."

As he spoke, Wayne clapped his hands.

Immediately, the church doors opened, and a group of people of different clothes and skin colors walked in.

These people included men and women, young and old, white, black, Asian, Latino, and many others. They seemed to have been waiting outside the church for a long time before swarming in.

Their steps were steady and cheerful, their eyes filled with curiosity as they surveyed everything inside the church.

They showed no fear or restraint, but rather moved about as if they were in their own home.

Soon, the church seats were all filled, their eyes filled with joy and peace as they gazed at the person sitting in the front row.

A man with black hair and black eyes.

Reverend Martin suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

Is this still his church?
