It seems likely, after all, no one would refuse the opportunity to obtain information about other people’s corpse blocks. But if that happens, won’t his two losses to Ulu be exposed?
At this thought, Rocky’s face turned grim.
He almost forgot about this matter.
Damn it... If only he had confessed to His Eminence right away last time.
Now with two consecutive losses and a confession to make, if Ulu manages to escape the hunt with [Disturbance], will His Eminence forgive him?
The thought was terrifying, Rocky didn’t dare to think further.
Damn, how did his situation suddenly become so precarious?
The main issue is, he’s been to Taoyuan Village twice; it’d be acceptable if he gained something, but losing twice with no information gained is quite unfortunate...
He didn’t know whether to hope Fig quickly dealt with Ulu or to hope Ulu could evade Fig’s pursuit.
Just as Rocky was feeling troubled, there was a knock on the office door.
"Lord Bishop, are you awake?"
Rocky recognized the voice of the young priest he had personally nurtured, and then recalled he was still in the middle of a service at the church when pulled into Taoyuan Village, which shocked him, and he immediately allowed the person to enter.
The door opened, and the young priest’s delicate face peered in.
"Lord Bishop, are you alright?"
"I’m fine." Rocky asked seriously, "What happened earlier?"
"You suddenly fainted during the service, it really scared everyone." The delicate young priest said, "Luckily not many saw, and I remembered your previous instructions, so I quietly brought you back without alarming too many."
Hearing this, Rocky sighed with relief slightly.
Thank goodness, after the first unexpected entry into Taoyuan Village, Rocky instructed the young priests around him, telling them to quietly bring him back to the office if he suddenly fainted, without making a fuss.
Luckily these guys were obedient, and Ulu chose a time other than broad daylight to pull them into Taoyuan Village, otherwise explaining such an incident would be tough.
Especially if he were interrupted during a communication meeting, that would be hard to explain.
...Considering it this way, just the fact that Ulu can pull everyone into Taoyuan Village at will, is a very troublesome matter.
Damn, why does that old bastard get all the good stuff?
Rocky was increasingly furious.
And the delicate young priest noticed Rocky’s change in expression and cautiously asked, "Lord Priest, are you... "
"I’m angry." Rocky said irritably, "Can’t you tell?"
"Is that so." The delicate young priest said ingratiatingly, "Do you need me to help you vent your anger?"
Rocky shot a sidelong glance at the young priest, intending to scold him out, but suddenly thought of something.
If Ulu really evaded the Devourer’s hunt, then started Taoyuan Village a third time...
Rocky looked up at the young priest and said, "Call two more people over."
The young priest was slightly stunned, "Call two more people?"
"Yes, call two more people to my office." Rocky said, "Don’t alert others, just call them quietly."
"But Lord Priest, I alone can suffice..."
Rocky slammed his desk, "Just fucking go!"
Shocked, the young priest immediately left.
Rocky continued searching for something anxiously, but couldn’t find anything suitable, so he simply slammed his palm onto the desk.
The desk shattered into pieces.
When the three young priests arrived at Rocky’s office, panting, they saw Rocky’s desk already collapsed, and they were taken aback.
"What happened to you..."
Rocky used magic power to cut the desk wood into more than fifty cards, marked with numbers.
"Nobody sleeps tonight!"
"Everyone must study this deck thoroughly before speaking!"
Rocky thought bitterly to himself.
Next time, I won’t lose!
Bai Wei also opened his eyes, his consciousness returning to his body.
He looked at his right thumb with great interest, feeling the Rule named [Disturbance] quietly flowing through it.
That guy Rocky really is a talent, actually losing this Rule to him again, which is indeed timely help for him now.
Because his other Rules are still under the cost payment of "Visas Phantom", hence unusable.
This is also why Bai Wei dared to fight three alone previously.
The worst outcome was losing three at once, but [Gaze] and [Domination] can’t be used in the first place, so losing them didn’t matter.
And that information was something he intended to release all along.
So tonight’s game, the worst result for him was not winning, but also not losing.
The rest would be small wins, medium wins, or big wins.
So never play cards with those who control the rules in doghouses.
If this were back in his previous life, Bai Wei really would want to post this case on the Anti-Gambling forum.
Tsk tsk, what a pity.
And for Bai Wei, tonight at least was a medium win.
Not only was the reacquired [Disturbance] greatly helpful to Bai Wei who can’t use Rules now, but also the information Miss Ring Finger lost to him, information about the Contract Land independent of the Eight Great Churches.
