nSaint Servant, Monn’s small villa.

n

n

nAlma was not happy to hear Monn’s words. Her smile was still a little forced.

n

n

n

n

nShe said softly, “I see. But because my strength suddenly increased, I can’t control it, so… ”

n

n

nMonn’s smile instantly froze.

n

n

nHe stepped forward, and Alma hurriedly opened the bathroom door.

n

n

nA small body wrapped in a towel appeared.

n

n

n

n

nBecause of the impurities that had been excreted by the Holy Maiden Fruit.

n

n

nIt also made Alma’s clothes dirty, and there was a strange stench on them.

n

n

nAlma couldn’t put them back on.

n

n

nShe had to wear a towel.

n

n

n

n

nMonn walked into the bathroom.

n

n

nHis face froze.

n

n

nThe showerhead that should have been hanging, was broken.

n

n

nThe bathtub made of white tiles was full of cracks. Monn even saw a few bricks falling.

n

n

nThere were a few small footprints on the floor.

n

n

nIt was obvious that they were of Alma’s feet.

n

n

n

n

nMonn couldn’t help but look at the footprints.

n

n

nHe saw Alma standing outside the bathroom, hiding behind Ace with an innocent expression.

n

n

nAce saw Monn looking at her and immediately said, “You can’t blame Alma for this. After all, how can a child control their sudden increase in strength?”

n

n

nMonn sighed and said, “Of course I don’t blame Alma. It’s just that I didn’t think it through.”

n

n

nSince the description of Holy Maiden Fruits had already stated that they would increase one’s strength,

n

n

nHe should have expected that Alma, who had suddenly gained power, would not be able to control her own strength because she was not used to it, hence causing the destruction of the house.

n

n

nIt was his fault.

n

n

nBut that was not what hurt him the most right then.

n

n

n

n

nMonn raised his neck and sucked back the tears that were about to flow out. He let out a long sigh. “How much will this cost?”

n

n

nAll of Saint Servant was suddenly stunned.

n

n

nIt was as if they were stunned by Monn’s sorrowful cry.

n

n

nAce shook her head, feeling a little helpless at Monn’s expression.

n

n

nAce rubbed her forehead and did not bother about Monn anymore. She let him have his own headache.

n

n

nAce crouched down. In order to prevent Alma from destroying the house, she began to teach Alma how to control her sudden increase in power.

n

n

nIt took Alma nearly an hour to gain complete control over her powers.

n

n

nMoreover, she also missed school because of this.

n

n

nBut there was nothing she could do.

n

n

nIf Alma had gone to school in her current state, people might have died.

n

n

nTherefore, it was not that big a deal to be late.

n

n

nSeeing Alma carry her small pink backpack, she was about to go out.

n

n

nLying on the table, Monn said weakly, “Just use your strength to protect yourself. You can bully any kid you want.”

n

n

n

n

nHearing that, Alma turned around and stuck her tongue out at Munn.

n

n

nShe made a funny face and ran out the door.

n

n

n“I won’t!”

n

n

nAlma’s voice got further and further away.

n

n

nMonn smiled.

n

n

nHowever, thinking about his gold pound that was about to be gone made him return to his previous state.

n

n

nAfter watching Alma leave, Ace shook her head in amusement when she saw Monn’s expression.

n

n

nThen, she grabbed Monn’s arm and said, “Don’t bother about the gold pound anymore. Hurry up and go to work!”

n

n

nPreston.

n

n

nWhen Monn brought Ace to the front line,

n

n

nHe found that the Holy Knights had already arrived on the battlefield and were well prepared.

n

n

nIn front of them was the flame barrier left the previous day by Monn.

n

n

nThe Holy Sword Elendil, which was still shining in the Sun, stood quietly in the middle.

n

n

nIt was like a soldier stationed at the border who never knew fatigue.

n

n

nEven though it was attacked by the werewolves fiercely last night,

n

n

nThe line of defense guarded by Elendil was still burning.

n

n

nAlthough the previous day, Monn said that it could last until nine o’clock this morning, Monn also knew that something unexpected could happen at night.

n

n

nThus, he had infused almost all of his Holy Power into the several obscure inscriptions on the body of the Elendil sword.

n

n

nOnly the Holy Power that could bring Ace back to Saint Servant was left.

n

n

nAt this point, Monn seemed to have completely gotten used to Ace’s presence.

n

n

nEven when he went home, Monn still thought of leaving a little power for Ace.

n

n

nMonn had yet to notice this subtle move.

n

n

nWhen the Paladins noticed Monn’s arrival.

n

n

nInstantly, all the Paladins couldn’t suppress the reverence that seemed to be overflowing from their eyes.

n

n

n“Lord Monn!”

n

n

n“Lord Monn!”

n

n

nEvery Paladin began to greet Monn.

n

n

nEven the Saintess beside Monn didn’t seem to notice it.

n

n

nFrom this, it was clear that they all knew what had happened last night.

n

n

nAlthough they didn’t see Monn’s sword display its might, the werewolves’ fearful expressions couldn’t have been faked.

n

n

nThis made the Paladins worship Monn.

n

n

nAce wasn’t angry at all when she saw this. Instead, she felt happy because they all looked at Monn…

n

n

nShe had wanted him to establish his authority yesterday.

n

n

nHow could she blame the Paladins for greeting him first?

n

n

nElton walked out of the crowd.

n

n

nHe looked at him, excited.

n

n

nHe comes early today as he was afraid that something might have happened.

n

n

nHe hadn’t slept well last night.

n

n

nHe kept tossing and turning on the bed, with his heart pounding.

n

n

nIn the end, no Paladin came to tell him about anything going wrong.

n

n

nHe just fell asleep.

n

n

nWhen he woke up this morning, he came to the front line early in the morning.

n

n

nWhen the Paladins heard what happened last night, they jumped up in excitement.

n

n

nWilting goatees suddenly had a burst of energy and instantly straightened up.

n

n

nThey were even more grateful to Monn.

n

n

nThey even felt a little guilty for going against Monn previously.

n

n

nSo what if there were some weird rules when it comes to such a capable person?

n

n

nNo wonder the Pope had only thought for a moment before agreeing.

n

n

nIt turned out that he had long set his eyes on the potential of Cardinal Monn.

n

n

nThat caused him much regret!

n

n

nHowever, there was still a chance to salvage the relationship between him and the Cardinal Monn.

n

n

nAs soon as Monn arrived, Elton came forward hurriedly to welcome him.

n

n

n“Cardinal Monn is truly divine!”

n

n

nElton rubbed his hands together and said obsequiously.

n

n

nMonn was Preston’s greatest savior.

n

n

nIf they could arrange for him, maybe Preston would go back to normal.
