His girlfriend had cheated on him in the past. Consumed by hatred, he lost his mind and burst out


    violently with a knife due to overwhelming rage. Later, he fled to Gavistat and assumed a new identity.


    He took refuge in the Mistd Monastery.

    During his years in the monastery, he did manage to let go of his attachments and hatred. He genuinely


    engaged in virtuous deeds at the time, using the holistic medical skills taught by his master to help


    those suffering from illness.


    However, after his master passed, the new leader began exploiting the monastery for personal gain. He


    charged exorbitant fees and embezzled donations. The once ascetic priests started breaking their vows


    by indulging in flesh.


    He confronted the new leader about these transgressions, but the response had been dismissive. The


    leader argued, “You’re na?ve. Alcohol and meat pass through the gut while God resides in the heart.


    These rules and precepts are just for show.”


    Under the new leader’s management, the Mistd Monastery so announced its dissolution. The leader


    even sold the monastery to tourismpany, absconding with the funds and leaving the priest.


    homeless.


    Before Dalton left, he opened the relic his master left behind. Inside was a part of the Eight-Part


    Scepter and a parchment exining its usage.


    His master had acquired the Eight-Part Scepter and originally intended to use it to quell the turbulence


    on Possidian Mountain. However, Dalton knew his master had his motives for it.


    The Mythism sect that had the Eight-Part Scepter would undoubtedly be at a higher standing in the


    Mythismmunity. Unfortunately, hist master departed for the Pure Land before the Mistd


    Monastery achieved such prominence.


    Even aplished priests like his master had personal motives.


    What else was there to say about the rest?


    Afterward, he left Gavistat with the Eight-Part Scepter until he was found by members of the Emerald


    Wren Guard. The Emerald Wren


    Guard was a secret organization affiliated with the government, consisting of individuals with various


    extraordinary abilities.


    While its members enjoyed considerable freedom, when the Emerald


    Wren Order was issued, they had to obey the organization’smands without question.


    With his newfound wealth of eight million, he quickly sumbed to the allure of worldly pleasures. In


    the past year, he had traveled far and wide, assisting numerous distressed female supplicants in th


    times of need.


    However, he caught the attention of the Inspection Office in Sage


    Felicity waited for a satisfactory answer from him and could not help butin when it did note.


    “Hey, how is a big shot like you so evasive?”


    Dalton took a deep breath, turned around, and lowered his gaze to focus on Felicity’s voluptuous


    figure, Narrowing his eyes, he smiled. “I can lend it to you, but on two conditions.”


    Felicity took two steps back and crossed her arms over her chest. Adjusting the cor of her clothes,


    she looked at the man cautiously and said, “Let’s hear them.”


    Calmly, Dalton started, “First, the Investigation Office has to stop investigating me. I no longer make


    visits to the red-light district. Even if you find me enjoying myself with other women, there’s no reason


    to bring me to the Inspection Office!”


    “I can agree to that,” Felicity responded without hesitation.


    Previously, Dalton’s visits to the red-light district involved mary transactions, constituting illegal and


    disorderly behavior. If he just engaged with other women, it would be a vition of morals. In this case,


    Felicity indeed had no reason to arrest him.


    “What about the second condition?” Felicity asked.


    Dalton gazed at Felicity’s exquisite face, smiling subtly. “As for the second one…”


    “Do you want to sleep with me?” Felicity said with a teasing smile


    Dalton hastily replied, “I wouldn’t dare… For my second conditi want you to help me investigate


    someone.”


    The deputy chief of the Inspection Office was not someone he wou ever dare act against even if he


    were a hundred times braver.


    Felicity shook her head and said, “That would be an abuse of power. I can’t do it!”


    The investigation into Dalton was justified because he frequented the red-light district, making him part


    of the red list. Thus, he was under the Inspection Office’s monitoring. Him asking her to investigate


    someone else would indeed be an abuse of power.
