Chapter 528: Fermentation

[Shocking! The dark secrets of the Church of the Dawn Goddess, the Red Bishop did such things?]

The newspaper reported many dirty and evil acts done by a cardinal, and included pictures that were solid proof.

This was not about Ricardo’s incident, but an event that took place in the Numenor Empire.

[Church of the Dawn Goddess, this is the disgrace of the church!]

This report was revealed by a ‘pure bystander’, saying that after the believers donated money, the Church of the Dawn Goddess took money from the offering box for themselves.

Joining the church means having a secure job for life!

The author concluded that he had also investigated many churches, stating that the Church of the Dawn Goddess would not act this way, at least they have a deity, and a deity would not covet the wealth of ordinary people…

[Ricardo, the hidden mastermind behind the Modred incident]

This matter was also brought up again for further reporting.

The negative news about the Church of Dawn Goddess has begun to spread in various countries, including among former high-ranking members of the church.

Some former church leaders may have left, but they did so with hundreds of millions in Forged Coins. Now they enjoy luxury cars, fine wine, beautiful villas, and young companions. At night, they sip red wine while watching performances, with three maids serving them.

Honestly, if it were a girl, it would be one thing, but this is a boy!

[I wish I had a high-ranking church member as a relative.]

The report detailed how a local commoner abused his power because he had an uncle who was a priest; he forcibly violated countless young girls, all daughters from well-off families.

In extreme cases, he even made their boyfriends watch.

If they resisted too much, he would kill them and dispose of their bodies.

Not only that, if anyone offended him, he would set them up to gamble, leading them to take on high-interest loans, which ultimately drove them to suicide.

Good self-control? With good self-control, there are naturally good ways to use it.

Although many people want to be relatives of Director Qi, many more are ordinary people bullied by Director Qi’s relatives.

As for who is behind these reports…

The Church of Wisdom God and the Flame War God Church said that it was done by some small churches, and they do not know anything about it.

Revenge on those small churches?

Sorry, justice and truth will not be buried. We both support the truth.

As clergy, are you really okay with behaving this way?

For a moment, the streets and alleys of various countries were buzzing with excitement.

They didn’t expect that the Church of Dawn Goddess would act this way.

The Church of Dawn Goddess quickly took action by teaming up with the local government to strongly collect newspapers, shut down the newspaper offices, and arrest those involved.

Although they caught some people, many others escaped.

This approach is similar to what happens when some events explode and the authorities start to suppress hot topics, delete comments, and remove videos.

Unfortunately, in this world, there is no internet, making monitoring much more difficult.

With the push from concerned people, the truth could not be hidden. Originally, some people did not care about it, but seeing the Church of Dawn Goddess react so strongly made them cherish the newspapers, saying they could not be taken back.

Also, many people trying to go to the Church of Dawn Goddess to pray were stopped.

For example, outside a church.

"Are you out of your mind, going to pray at the Church of Dawn Goddess?" a young man said to an old lady with her granddaughter. "Your granddaughter is so beautiful; aren’t you afraid she will be harmed?"

"Harmed?" The old lady looked surprised. "Why would she be harmed?"

"Look at this report, it’s solid proof! The priest’s nephew is not a clergyman, nor a noble. He picks someone at the church, makes her stay to pray, then knocks her out, and finally makes her pregnant. Many people have given birth to this monster’s child!"

"What?" The old lady was shocked.

"This, this must be an exception…" The young girl was also frightened.

She remembered one time when she was in church, feeling drowsy, and slept for an hour before waking up and leaving.

Could it be that I was also attacked?

"There are so many reports, and they are from Church of Dawn Goddess all over the world." The young man pointed at the newspaper and said, "How can it be fake?"

"But that is the Church of Dawn Goddess." The old lady still couldn’t believe that such a big church would do something like this.

Just a few days ago, she even went to collect a lot of eggs.

"Let’s go quickly, if we wait any longer, it will be too late. What about the Church of Dawn Goddess? They were spreading rumors about someone being a cultist, but that person proved their innocence and is a believer of dawn; they are much stronger than those clergymen. In my opinion, the Church of Dawn Goddess may have mixed with cultists. They are driving away honest believers, and honest believers are fighting against the cultists."

"This, like this…" The old lady quickly pulled her granddaughter back.

For example, a small town.

"Hand over the murderer, hand over the murderer!"

A very respected old man shouted with a group of workers at the police station door.

A relative of a priest, who is now hiding inside the police station.

These ordinary people felt helpless; they could not do anything about the nobles or the priest. They wanted to express their anger, so they could only turn to the priest’s relative.

"Everyone step back, step back!"

The police held guns pointed at the civilians.

The old man remained unmoved and took a step forward.

Bang!

The gun went off.

Many people were scared; they really dared to shoot.

"Don’t retreat!" the old man shouted. "If we back down now, they will become even bolder!"

"You have women at home too; some of you have wives, some have daughters, some have sisters."

"No, it’s more than that. They are beasts, demons, and they don’t even spare the children!"

"They treat us this way, and should we just keep enduring it?"

Clearly, this old man was not an ordinary person.

The workers felt a bit confused when they heard this.

In fact, they had been holding back and had already gotten used to it.

A few families with some knowledge became angry at this moment.

"In the past, when they bullied us, we could only kneel on the ground and beg them not to, kneeling at the police station hoping the police would help us."

"If he were a nobleman, it would be one thing; if he were a priest, it would be another, but that jerk, he is an ordinary person just like us. He used to be our coworker!"

"We gave him food and invited him for drinks."

"His nephew became a priest, and he treats us, the ones who helped him, this way. Can we tolerate this?"

The old man expressed himself differently.

Humans are very interesting creatures; they might endure oppression from powerful people, but when they are oppressed by those who were once like them, their anger is ignited.

"No!" The workers’ shouts made a few police officers take a step back.

The places reported in the newspaper, where the bullies among the clergy are located, have experienced riots to varying degrees.
