## Chapter 702 – Paladin Kim Kat
The suicide was swift and decisive.
“…What the fuck.”
Did he make the decision while I briefly released him to retrieve the scripture?
Or was it from the beginning?
Since when had he been looking for an opportunity to kill himself? And that movement and boldness, as if he had been trained for this… Only highly trained special operatives or fanatics who prioritize religion over their own lives are capable of such an act.
Didn’t they claim to believe in a fictional deity?
Was that just a disguise too?
I couldn’t use healing magic, so I couldn’t react at all.
No, even if I could use healing magic, a wound that completely severed the carotid artery couldn’t be healed on the spot. Even the paladins working together couldn’t do that.
—Gush.
The blood flowing from the preacher’s neck had already formed a small puddle.
“…”
He burned the scripture and killed himself.
Did he destroy all the evidence?
So he could commit suicide without worry?
What about the people left here?
Did he kill himself, leaving them behind because they were just clueless fools?
“You fucking son of a bitch.”
I’m screwed, damn it.
I can’t find out anything about the mastermind or anything like that.
A madman who would even commit suicide…!
“I’m so scared…! My legs are trembling…!”
I’m so scared that my legs are trembling…! But at the same time, there’s evidence that he burned the scripture and committed suicide.
“Sob…! P, Preacher…! Preacher…!”
“Sniff, sniff…!”
“Huuuuh…!”
Just then, the men who had been caught up in my violence dragged their blood-soaked bodies and crawled towards her corpse.
Except for the chief.
—Huuuuh! Sniff!
—Huuuuh…!
—Sniff!
It was such a fanatical sight.
The middle-aged men who were top members of this orgy cult were genuinely grieving. These were sincere tears that could only be shed by those who had lost their guide.
“These crazy bastards.”
They were quite bewitched.
The preacher was certainly skilled.
To bewitch people to this extent?
He could be called a talent, and of course, he must have been in a position of great responsibility.
So that’s why he committed suicide so decisively.
For what?
Maybe he was just afraid of being interrogated and killed himself… This isn’t something I should be thinking about.
“Huuuuh, huuuuh…!”
“Sniff…!”
The men wept loudly.
Among them, there was no one who seemed capable of committing suicide. Well, these guys were just fools who were bewitched by the preacher and gave him money.
And who liked special-rape-like orgies.
“Anyway, I have to leave you guys behind.”
—Thwack!
I reorganized the crying men, pushed them into a corner again, and quickly went up to find Hilde. I’ll just tell her the situation and come right back down to preserve the scene.
* * *
After that, I asked Hilde to bring ropes to tie people up and called my women, and I completely occupied the bar on the first basement floor and the orgy hall on the second basement floor of the Burney Lane building.
After briefly explaining the situation to the women who had rushed over and asking them to guard the evidence and the scene, I ran to the City Guard building.
It’s still before sunrise.
“It’s a paladin! I need to send an urgent letter to the capital, is that possible!”
“Gasp! A paladin!”
“I asked if it’s possible!”
“I, if you pay the fee, of course…”
“As quickly as possible!”
As soon as I quickly paid the price with extra money and bribes, the City Guard soldier nodded vigorously.
“I’ll send it as soon as the gates open early in the morning! Loyalty!”
“Thank you! You’re quick! Take this too!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!”
I wrote an urgent letter to the Saintess.
—Urgent. Need a carriage and troops to escort people to the temple.
Since I couldn’t trust the City Guard, I just wrote a simple line and sealed the letter. I just realized now that this paladin necklace can also be used to stamp a seal.
Anyway, no one knew that the City Guard Chief was being completely screwed over there yet. That’s why I came right away and was able to send the letter.
Once the letter arrives normally and people from the Order come, they will send all the drugged women and the men involved in this incident to the temple.
If they interrogate them there, the situation will be over.
They’ll tell everything.
The victimized women have no reason to lie to the paladins, and the middle-aged men won’t come out strong now that they’ve lost their preacher.
Then there’s no problem.
I can’t trust this city, so I have no choice but to request troops from the temple.
But will the letter arrive properly?
I thought about that, but I can think about it when the time comes. There’s nothing I can do at this stage.
“Fucking hell.”
No matter what, it’s impossible to beat people up, tie them up, and arrest them without evidence. The Saintess needs a good enough reason to agree with me.
That’s why I conducted the interrogation and assault, and I also tried to take everything I could get.
In the meantime, the preacher killed himself.
It’s a bit twisted… but it’s not a big problem. I can say it’s 90 out of 100 points. It’s my fault that I was a little careless.
Suicide, how could I have imagined it?
Anyway, I came back to Burney Lane right away.
“Kat, did you send the letter?”
“Yeah. They said they’ll send it as soon as possible, and I’ll be able to go back when they send people from there.”
“Hehehe, you worked hard. You went out like it was nothing, and you solved everything?”
“I guess so?”
My women were gathered in the bar on the upper floor of the orgy hall.
I explained it briefly before going to the City Guard building, and Hilde must have explained the rest.
“That’s right, an orgy ritual… It’s vulgar, really. What kind of things do they do? Indeed, they are heretics.”
“Sister? When you think about it, aren’t we similar?”
“I, is that so…? W, when I think about it, it seems like it…”
Liz sister blushed and twisted her thighs.
First, I needed to explain in detail, so I explained it again.
“Hmm, the City Guard Chief is involved.”
Karin licked her lips after hearing the story.
“And that heretic bitch who’s dead down there mentioned the lord too?”
“I don’t know about that. She killed herself before I could find out. Anyway, even if it’s not the lord, there’s a high probability that she was mixed up with the city’s high-ranking officials. They were actually those kinds of guys. No matter who comes, you have to block them here and wait for the paladins.”
“Well, I guess so. But who’s going to break through here?”
“Hehehe, that’s true.”
Even if the building owner comes, there’s nothing they can do if we act stubborn.
Even if all the city’s troops attack, Karin sister can take care of it.
“Blackie, what are you going to do with the people downstairs?”
“I have to lock them up down there for now. Interrogate them simply until the paladins come, divide them into sections, and accommodate them. I’ll have to buy food and supply it for now. There are bathrooms and toilets inside, so there’s no problem.”
It’s necessary to take care of the people detained in the basement until the paladins come.
Buy food, get drinking water, and supply it to them. Fortunately, the orgy hall has small bathrooms and toilets, so there’s no problem controlling them.
The problem is that the drugged women have to stay here too.
It’s certain that they’ll be crying when they come to their senses.
“Huuuuh…! Huuuuh!”
“Huuuuh!”
…It felt like their pain was being conveyed.
But still, about half of them were calling out for the preacher.
Even the women who came to their senses kept trying to masturbate.
Of course, there was no time to comfort them or take care of them.
I just explained the situation that they would be giving testimony and that the paladins would be coming.
Of course, the men who were donating money, the uninvited guests, and the two managers of the store were tied up with ropes and thrown into the bathroom. The evidence was well taken care of, and the preacher’s corpse was put in a coffin that I bought.
The arrangement was perfect.
“Then Karin sister?”
My women were taking turns coming to the bar on the first basement floor and spending time with me. I can’t have them all here.
Still, I needed two wives to move with me.
“I’ll go find out some news for a while.”
“Okay, okay. Have a good trip.”
“Kat-nim, have a good trip!”
I said goodbye and came out.
I immediately looked around the street stalls near the gate, spent money, and asked questions, and I was able to get information that the church’s carriage had entered as soon as the gate opened today. I sprinkled Cooper and asked around to find the lodging where the church people were staying.
I found a carriage with the emblem of the Bronze Archangel Society and asked the innkeeper to deliver a message. Soon, familiar-looking young men popped out and greeted me.
“P, Paladin-nim!!!”
“Paladin-nim!!!”
“To see you again!! Really!!! I’m moved!!!”
No, they’re not just familiar, they’re faces I know.
And they’re young.
“…Anderson? Harmatt? Ewald?”
They were trainees I had taught at the training center in the past, wearing bronze-shining archangel armor in a very cool way and bowing at a 90-degree angle.
“You guys came?”
From the left, there was Anderson, who had the best talent, then Harmatt, who was always doing strange things, and finally Ewald, who had a special talent for running on the wall while shouting.
Their average age was in their late teens, and their hair color was mostly blonde.
When I spoke, they raised their heads and answered vigorously.
“Yes! Paladin-nim! We were assigned to the temple right after graduation, and we were receiving training on our duties when the Saintess’s order came down!! An order to go help Paladin-nim!!”
“So!!! We rushed over without finishing our training!!!”
“We have workers ready with the carriage too!!”
Wow, the Saintess used her head.
“Wow.”
Honestly, if senior paladins had come, it would have been impossible to control them. They would have just killed all the heretics after hearing the situation. Then escorting them would have been impossible.
I was thinking of controlling them while persuading them as much as possible. In the worst case, I even imagined a situation where all the men would die and only the victimized women would be escorted.
But if it’s these guys, I can definitely control them.
“Ah, fuck.”
But.
“But we just broke up a few weeks ago with tears streaming down our faces…”
“Ugh…”
“Ugh…”
“T, that’s…”
The trainees who were shouting with joy, no. I should call them rookie paladins now. Anyway, they blushed and avoided my gaze. In addition, I was quite embarrassed too.
We broke up with all that fuss, and we’re meeting again right away… But I can’t just be embarrassed.
“Anyway, I’m glad to see you again, my disciples!!! My most trusted disciples came when I needed the most help!!!”
“Pa, Pal!! No, Master!!”
“It’s an honor to see you again!!!”
“Sniff…! Sniff!”
I hugged them and shouted. All three of them were moved and shouted, and they expressed their emotions by crying. After calming them down for a while, Anderson asked.
“But Paladin-nim. What on earth is going on? I heard that Paladin-nim was dispatched to investigate the heretics who infiltrated this city.”
“That’s right.”
I guided them to a more open park and said.
“A heretic executive.”
I explained that they brainwashed innocent women, made them addicted to drugs, used them as hostesses for orgy parties, and swindled huge donations from the city’s influential figures, even embezzling money that was clearly public funds of the city.
“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!”
“Dejaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!”
“Miyooooooooooooooooooong!!!!!!”
My disciples, who heard the story, grabbed their heads and shouted, and then they started sprinting around the park, performing back handsprings, handsprings, and inhuman jumps.
“Uwaaaaak!!!”
“They’re crazy!!”
“Save me!!”
Surprised passersby dropped their belongings.
“Oh my goodness!”
“What on earth is this!”
“Save me!”
“Uwaaaaaaaaaaaang!!!”
The middle-aged women fell on their butts and trembled. The boys and girls who were happily playing with snacks even peed their pants and started crying, accelerating the chaos of the space.
In the eyes of these guys, they would see shining, armed murderers running around in a frenzy.
—How!!! How could such a thing haaaaaaaaappen!!!!!!!!
—Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!!
—Dejaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!
Thus, the fanatical cries of my disciples echoed through the city.
“Damn, is that a natural reaction?”
This is also heartwarming.
Anyway, I think I can finish today’s work.
I just need to coax them to escort the men and women of the orgy hall to the temple. Let’s start right away when they calm down.
No, wait.
But they were assigned as paladins and started doing missions right away like this?
…I had a feeling that I could make good use of our disciples.
