Chapter 2021: Irreconcilable Forces

Although this old man came out of the detestable Pope, they could not do without him.

"I am not one of your clansmen; I joined you only because I am at odds with the Pope. Now that you are suspicious and doubting me, I feel there is no need for me to stay here." Degula's expression was somewhat angry: "Rather than staying in this place and letting you guess back and forth, it would be better to leave here sooner."

"Degula, I apologize for my impulsiveness just now." The leader of the Werewolf Clan was startled and hurriedly bowed his body: "I am sorry, please forgive our impulsiveness just now."

Several leaders of the Werewolf Clan apologized to Degula one after another, because they knew that without Degula, they were truly nothing.

"I do not wish for such things to happen again." Degula sighed: "Next, let us start planning."

"Plan what?" several people whose brains were clearly not working very well asked in confusion.

"Your clan's Sacred Object was bought by someone else; don't you want to snatch it back?"

"Want to, of course we want to." Only then did the few people react.

"I have already kept an eye on those two people from just now. Now we will go find them, seize the right moment, and kill them." Degula's expression was sinister.

"Degula, you are too amazing, how did we not think of that?" The few people were stunned again.

"Let's go, set off." Degula's tone was somewhat helpless, but he was sneering incessantly in his heart.

These few people were really no different from fools. This was also good; this group of fools allowed him to easily control the Werewolf Clan.

As long as he delved a bit deeper, he would possess the power to contend with the Pope. By then, hehe, who else would be able to control him?

"The Divine Power on this Crystal Skull is very strong." Xueli held the item they had won at auction, looking at it repeatedly in her hands. She said: "You were absolutely right, Chen Yu, this thing is indeed what was left behind after some ancient deity fell."

"Even though that deity has already fallen, the things they left behind still possess power that cannot be ignored."

"Of course I wouldn't be wrong." Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "Next, it depends on how your Pope utilizes this thing."

"We will definitely make good use of this thing; it can alleviate the negative effects brought about by our True Lord's slumber." Xueli carefully put away the item in her hand, and she sighed: "This auction was truly not a wasted trip; the thing I obtained here is of vital importance."

"It is also thanks to your Pope's abundant financial resources." Chen Yu said with a smile: "If you didn't have the money, what were you planning to do with this thing? Snatch it by force?"

"Try every possible method; if there is truly no other way, then there is only... snatching it by force." Both of Xueli's eyes rarely flashed with ruthlessness.

"How could you have such a thought? You are the Saintess, after all; the Pope cannot do such things." Chen Yu was between laughter and tears.

"There is nothing that cannot be done; in fact, it all depends on whether the benefits brought by this risk are sufficient." Xueli said.

"Alright, the world is indeed the same everywhere." Chen Yu nodded with deep feeling and said.

"But as of now, we still haven't caught Degula. If we could take him away, then today's events would be perfect." Xueli said with some lament.

"Don't worry about that; even if we don't go looking for him, Degula will come back to find us." Chen Yu said.

"He will come back to find us?" Xueli was stunned: "Are you sure?"

"Of course I'm sure." Chen Yu nodded and said: "The Crystal Skull is equally important to Degula. The reason he watched you leave is because there were at least twenty or more Level 3 or higher powerhouses guarding the venue."

"If those powerhouses were to act simultaneously, the people he brought would be nothing but scum, so he dared not make a move directly inside there." Chen Yu said with a smile.

"He intends to hijack the thing in our hands?" Xueli suddenly understood.

"Correct, they don't have the money to buy it, so they have to resort to snatching it. Aside from that, he has no other means." Chen Yu nodded.

"Then why haven't they appeared yet?" Xueli looked around; she had not yet seen any signs of robbery in the vicinity.

"That is because the place we just walked through was too bustling and not secluded enough. Since they intend to snatch it, they naturally have to find a suitable place." Chen Yu said: "For example, this place is very suitable."

"This place?" Xueli stopped in her tracks abruptly. She stared blankly at the surroundings; there seemed to be no one around this place now.

"Yes, this place. How does it feel?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Xueli looked around, and suddenly her hair stood on end. This was her first reaction as a Saintess when encountering extreme danger.

She quickly grasped the Holy Artifact in her hand, hid it inside her sleeve, and then quickly concealed the Holy Artifact.

Just at this moment, several black shadows quickly gathered toward the two of them, and immediately after, a figure shrouded in a black robe walked over.

It was none other than Degula. Even in the darkness, this guy had to wear a black robe, giving people an extremely unique sense of mystery.

Following that, several small leaders of the Werewolf Clan spread out and surrounded the two of them.

Degula slowly took off the hood covering his head, revealing a kind smile: "Two children, we meet again."

"What do you want to do?" Chen Yu had his face covered with a white cloth; he raised his eyes and glanced at Degula.

"You took something that did not originally belong to you. What do you think I would do?" Degula said with a smile.

"Something that didn't originally belong to us?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said: "These things of ours were bought with real gold and silver at auction. Tell me, why don't they belong to me?"

"Just because you bought something doesn't mean it is necessarily yours." Degula slowly shook his head, and he smiled slightly: "I warned you that you could not handle these things at all, but this beautiful young lady did not seem to take my words to heart."

"That is why we have this encounter between us. To tell you the truth, I actually didn't want to make things so tense." Degula raised his eyes and said: "But you simply wouldn't listen to reason."

"I think no matter who it is, one must follow the rules here, right?" Xueli glanced at Degula: "And you said you were a person of the Pope; could it be that you don't even follow the most basic rules?"

"It is true that I am a person of the Pope, but that was a long time ago." Degula slowly shook his head and said: "I am now a wandering knight, and I have absolutely nothing to do with the filthy Pope."
