"Those damn bastards!!"

Kate Soros roared and slammed the letter in his hand on the desk. At this moment, his face was livid, and his eyes were bloodshot. The servants outside the study huddled together tremblingly, for fear that someone would not

Be careful if they get caught in this lord's crossfire. By then, they will be out of luck.

No wonder Kate was so angry. As early as three days ago, they had learned that the Templar Order had purified Alexander's body in public. This also meant that the killer who caused a sensation in the entire Eagle Plateau was related to the Soros family.

The Soros family is also in a precarious situation at this time. You must know that being "lucky" to be purified in public by the Holy Church is not a fuel-saving lamp. Looking at the history of the Eagle Plateau, before this, there were only two members of the Holy Church.

The first historical record of public purification in the Temple of Glory. The first time was the leader of a cult group, the second time was a mage who manipulated monsters, and now, Alexander is lucky enough to be the third person. It can also be regarded as a historical record.

He left a "glorious record" of his own.

However, the Soros family would not be excited or happy about this. On the contrary, after receiving the news, Kate did not sleep a wink for almost the whole night. It is quite rare for the Templar Order to execute high-ranking nobles in public. Generally speaking,

Even if the Templar Order catches a noble who has an affair with the cult, most of them will just execute him privately. But now, the Templar Order has done so with such great fanfare, what's the problem if the Soros family doesn't notice it anymore?

If so, then they are idiots.

Although Kate still didn't know what the Holy Temple wanted to do, he was sure. This time the Holy Temple obviously planned to do something big. He even went to the Holy Temple's headquarters to investigate.

But she was rejected. Those bishops who had smiled at me before now looked at me as if they were a fly, fearing that they would avoid them. This made Kate angry and worried. After all, from the bishop

Judging from their obvious change in attitude, it is obvious that the Templar Church will take action. What can they do? Blame them in public? If that is all, then the Soros family is not afraid of the so-called collusion with cultists.

, many nobles are doing it, one more is not more, one less is not less. Moreover, the Soros family is powerful, and this kind of thing cannot shake their foundation.

But thinking this way, Kate also knew that the situation this time was different. In the past, although the nobles had dealt with cultists, their identities were very clear. The nobles would contact the cultists to carry out human trafficking, assassination, and purchase of prohibited items.

Or even more extreme, they will kill the citizens of their own territory to be used by the cultists as sacrifices or for black magic experiments, but they themselves will not do such things. Because the nobles are noble

Existence is completely different from those jackals in the darkness. In their hands, those cultists are the hounds they raise, responsible for helping them bite the enemy. If they are no longer useful, they will be thrown aside. This is what the nobles do.

But becoming a cultist means that they abandon their identity and lie on the ground with their dogs and yell at people - this is definitely not an admirable behavior.

But what Alexander did was to break the taboos of the nobility, and it was the most serious one. Transforming into a demon was the most unforgivable crime in anyone's eyes, and Alexander's disgusting corpse was in full view of everyone.

It cannot be false. Under this situation, even if the Soros family wanted to unite other nobles to fight against the offensive of the Templar Order, they would not board this ship. After all, Alexander did

It's too much. And he also killed many nobles along the way. Because of this, many families are now very dissatisfied with the Soros family. Although they were intimidated by the power of the Soros family, they didn't say much. But let them wholeheartedly

To help the Soros family. That would be extremely difficult.

Not only that, but what makes Kate even more angry is that in addition to the nobles, the businessmen who have previously cooperated with the Soros family have also expressed their intention to temporarily suspend business dealings with the Soros family. Their reasons are also very good, and now almost all

Everyone in the Eagle Plateau knows that the Soros family has affairs with cultists and even monsters. For the sake of their own reputation, these serious businessmen naturally dare not have anything to do with the Soros family. Otherwise, it would be okay to be investigated by the Templar Order.

Okay, if word spreads and they are considered to be members of cults, then the business of these merchants will be completely ruined. No one will be willing to buy goods from those who collude with cults and demons.

After all, no one knows if there is any curse attached to it, or if it is some evil item.

In just a few days, the Soros family seemed to be on the verge of betrayal and separation. Although Kate knew that this was only temporary, he was equally annoyed. Not only that, even within the family, there was a

* Opposition, every family has different small circles, and the Soros family is no exception. Those conservative forces took this opportunity to jump out and demand that the Soros patriarch must solve the problems in front of them, and the best way is to be thorough

Split into two parts with those cultists, but Kate knows that it is easy for them to say it, but it is not so easy to do it. These cultists are ruthless people, and they do not care about the revenge of the nobles. The Soros family

To achieve such a big thing, it is impossible to say that they have nothing to do with the cultists. If they choose to abandon those cultists now, then they will have to worry about the poisonous wine in their cups and the dagger in their backs.

This series of news made Kate very upset. Although the old patriarch has not spoken, Kate also knows very well that this is not the reason for his inaction. If he does not want to come up with something else, then as the next patriarch of the Soros family, he will

I said goodbye to myself completely.

"Dong dong dong."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and upon hearing the knock, Kate, who was already restless, turned his face and turned to look at the door in front of him.

"Come in."

Following Kate's voice, the door opened, and then an attendant walked in cautiously.

"Lord Kate...the old patriarch wants you to go to the study...there is something to discuss..."

Hearing the news, Kate frowned, and then he nodded.

"I see."

When Kate walked through the corridor and pushed open the heavy ebony door in front of him, he soon saw the old man sitting at the desk smoking a pipe - Pacid Soros, his face as serious as ever.

And Calm, the white hair is also meticulously taken care of. Just looking at it from the side, people would think that the person in front of them is a dying old man. But only Kate knows that this old man is not as good as he appears.

Weak. In fact, in his body, the beating of the heart is still strong, and his will is still so firm. He has ruled the Soros family for seventy years, and will continue to do so until the family is destroyed.

Until that moment.

"You are here, my child."

Watching Kate walk into the room, the old man nodded to him. But upon hearing Old Soros's voice, Kate immediately stepped forward and bowed her head respectfully.

"Father."

"No need to be polite."

In response to Kate's action, the old man just waved his hand.

"I already know what happened outside. It seems that the Holy Church will not let it go this time. Do you have any good ideas?"

"this……………"

After hearing the old man's question, Kate hesitated for a moment and finally decided to tell the truth.

"I'm sorry, Father, I haven't come up with any good solution yet."

"Hehehe..."

Old Soros was not surprised by Kate's answer. On the contrary, he smiled slightly.

"It's a headache, isn't it? It's no wonder. After all, this kind of thing doesn't feel good to anyone. Don't blame others. This is the way the world is. The first thing everyone and every family should think about is to put themselves first.

To survive, that's why they will ruthlessly abandon those things that endanger their survival. The same goes for those guys, don't resent them, if we were in their perspective, we would do the same thing."

"Yes...father."

Hearing the old man's words, Kate lowered her head dejectedly. However, the old man didn't seem to mind his son's frustration. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the letter in his hand.

"This is the news I just received, please take a look."

"Okay, Father."

Kate reached out to pick up the letter, glanced at it, and quickly read the contents. Then, his expression changed slightly.

"The church has sent spies? What do they want to do?!"

"I don't know what they want to do, but for us, this is really not good news, isn't it?" Wucuo Novel Network did not skip words.

This is more than just bad news.

After hearing what Old Soros said, Kate rubbed her forehead in distress. The Holy Church sent spies to investigate the Soros family, which in itself showed that they were collecting some information about the Soros family. And the Holy Church collected this information.

, obviously not just to search for information, if things go wrong, they might launch a jihad... Thinking of this, Kate couldn't help but feel chills all over. If the Templar Order really designated the Soros family as a cult

If it is a heresy, then no matter how powerful the Soros family is, it may collapse in an instant, and when that happens, where will they go?

"Don't worry, my child."

Old Soros's voice appeared, bringing Kate back to reality. He looked at his father, and was surprised to find that the old man in front of him didn't seem embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he looked at him with a mysterious smile.

Looking at Kate in front of me.
