258,

Never in a million years did I imagine that this would turn into a big problem. Stealing a pair of underwear, and it ended up having a deadly outcome. Cyclone, Cabellus, and Mathews were captured and taken to the underground room in the church. Originally used as a shelter during war, it had now become a prison trapping everyone inside. The underground structure was surrounded by brick walls, with only one door and a tiny iron window on one side for ventilation. It used to store some food, but now everything had been taken away by the villagers, leaving behind an empty jail cell. "Hahaha~ Hey, look at those villagers, they all listen to me now~" In front of the door, the Water Sect priest stood there, his left hand groping Forcia's buttocks. Even though she wore a layer of nun's clothing, Forcia, feeling pleasured by the touch, had a face that looked like she was about to climax. It seemed like there was no need for her to hide her promiscuous side in front of Cyclone and the others. "Hehehe~ How about it? Don't you all know what she's like now?" Cyclone really wanted to go up and give him a couple of punches, looking at the priest of the Water Sect with his repugnant expression, his fists were already burning with anger. But unfortunately, two strong bodyguards stood on either side of the door, guarding the priest of the Water Sect. "So it's you lot~" Forcia's smirk revealed her wicked side. "Poor little children, if you want my body, just say so, wouldn't that be easier?" "Hey hey, this bitch dares to seek pleasure in front of her master?" The priest of the Water Sect pushed Forcia with force, causing her to fall to the side. Even though it was beyond the range of the door's view, judging from the moaning sounds coming from Forcia, it seemed like she was thoroughly enjoying it. "We won't tell anyone! Can't you let us go?" Cabellus, worried, took the opportunity to plead, but his actions only caused trouble for himself. "Huh? Tell anyone? It seems like you really did hear then!" "What!? I really won't reveal your relationship!" Mathews also knelt down on the ground at the same time. "I only found out from the underwear that Forcia is a promiscuous woman, I really didn't know about your relationship!" "Stop pretending to be ignorant!" Immediately, the priest of the Water Sect kicked them both away. Pretending to be ignorant? Cyclone knew that the two of them were not pretending. That's right, stealing underwear wasn't enough reason for the priest of the Water Sect to treat Cyclone and the others this way. The real reason was much simpler. Based on what Cyclone had overheard at the time, along with the tactics of a typical villain, he had already guessed the truth. Evil never strays far from three things: power, money, and self-indulgence. The villagers had already sided with the Water Sect, so naturally, the priest of the Water Sect had gained power. With Forcia by his side every day, his body must have experienced unimaginable pleasure. The last point, and the most plausible one. Spreading the love of the Water Sect? Gaining the trust of the villagers? It was all for the sake of money. The play to collect money from the villagers was the real tactic. Although Cyclone and Cabellus hadn't heard anything about it, by considering the fact that they were being watched and the need to silence them, this was the closest answer.

"Oh my goodness! We know nothing at all!"

"Absolutely! Spare us, please!"

Cabellus and Mathews begged again.

"Spare you?"

But the Water Church priest retorted with a question, leaving everyone stunned. Then the man, known as the priest, burst into laughter.

"To demonstrate the authority of our Water Church! Tomorrow morning, I will perform the purification ritual~ which means..."

To build up the climax, he paused for a second and then shouted.

"Burn them at the stake!! Hahaha~ Hahaha!"
