Chapter 131 - 127

Only now did Reif realize how easy it was to actually incite people. He just controlled a few people and more than a hundred people were enraged

They all think that the stories that the people they don't even know were true and they start to harbor anger to the Priest and if it escalated, it would naturally involve the entirety of the church

Well, although Reif controlled a few people that confesses fake information, there were also others that shared their genuine experience

"I-I also have a similar experience. My wife's friend needed money for the medication of her husband and she went to the church to ask for help. But you know what happened?" The man trailed and the ears of the people around him perked up in curiosity

"The priest asks her for sex before he gives the money! That priest even threatened her that she would die if a word about it come out. My wife only learned about it when he friend had a breakdown!"

The stronger an organization, a group, or a family is, the easier it is for them to become corrupted

Even the church that boasted of their kindness and holiness is not different. Many people in power in the church starts abusing their authority to exploit the weaker population

It was not surprising that there are cases of corruption. It's just that, the church's image is too pure and white

No one would believe them even if they were to say the truth. Not to mention, they would also fear being targeted

If the church is really corrupt then with the power they hold, wouldn't it be easy for them to dispose of a few disobedient people? Surely not!

As such, the population voiced out their own experiences one by one even without Reif controlling them

In the end, hundreds to more than a thousand people gathered and they learned about the church's corruption

At first, they were in disbelief but the more people that talks, the more convinced they become

Reif also helps to further ignite the people's fury and uses that as a weapon to fight back

In the end, thousands of people charged straight to the Priest's residence, ready to ask for justice

Reif even made sure to create a sound isolation barrier around the priest so that he wouldn't hear the people coming to catch him in the act

With a priest's power, it should be easy for him to dispose of the young boy and make it look like he was not doing something bad

After some time, the priest's residence was already broken in without him knowing it and the room where he was doing a despicable thing was kicked open

Only when his door was opened did the priest realize that there are people in his residence

"W-what are you all doing here!" The priest ask nervously but everyone's eyes were locked on the poor crying boy

There was nothing that could be more concrete of evidence as what the people had witnessed

Their raged soared into the skies as their bloodshot eyes stared at the priest

Reif controlled another one of them and had him step out

"Kill! Kill this despicable man!"

"To do this to an innocent child, this priest is too evil!"

"Is this what the people of the church are doing?!"

"They are tricking us! They are far from being good people!"

The people raged and the person that Reif is controlling initiate an attack on the priest that still cannot comprehend what is happening

When one of them took the lead, the others soon followed as they started beating up the priest

Although the priest could fight back, there are too many people attacking him and he also feared that hurting or killing one of them would further escalate the situation

In the end, the morally corrupt priest was beaten to death by the angry people, and they starts to calm down

What have they done? They actually killed a priest? Would the church hunt them down for doing something like this?

Everyone was in shock and they don't know how should they proceed. A priest just died by their hands

They all think that the priest's death is just but the church is still a powerful force. How can they not worry for their lives?

Seeing this situation, Reif added more fire to it as for the nth time, he controlled one of them

"Brothers! Sisters! What we have done is just right. We are enacting justice for that poor boy. If the church takes revenge on us, it shows that they are really corrupted to the bones!"

"Brothers! Sisters! Let's spread to our families and friends what happened and what we have discovered today! We must hold the church accountable for their cruel action. We cannot let them continue their evil deeds!"

Reif once again incited the people and they head back to their respective places

It still looks like a normal day but a storm would soon sweep the world. These people would be the start but they are not the end

One person spread the church's evil deeds to two people and the two people spread it to four

The situation continues to unfold like this and soon, tens of thousands of people are informed

Most of them were still in disbelief. They don't want to think that the rumors were true but Reif would make sure that they wouldn't have any choice but to believe it whether they like it or not

1 day after

The day of Reif's meeting with the heads of various families and organizations finally arrives

He met them at a private restaurant inside the Imperial City. With how powerful and wealthy these people are, it wasn't hard for them to book an entire restaurant if that means they could have a talk with an S rank fighter

Not to mention, this particular restaurant is known for its security and secrecy

A barrier is activated inside the restaurant and the people outside of it wouldn't be able to know or hear anything from the inside

It was completely isolated. Shady deals can be done and things that could not be spoken outside can be spoken inside the restaurant

As such, the restaurant is pretty famous as whether they talk about the kindest or evilest thing, they could be relieved that no one else other than the involved parties would hear or know anything

Reif was the one that chose this restaurant as it was needed for his plans to work

Currently, Reif is already inside the restaurant. He was sitting on the head table, showing that he is the superior one here

Around him were the ten exalted people that are either the head of Nobility or a powerful and wealthy organization

"Mr. Nameless, it is a pleasure to meet you!"

"I have a proposal for Mr. Nameless, I hope that you could hear it!"

"Submit to this Duke and I'll promise to give you tons of riches"

Everyone has different personalities and approaches on how they want to make Reif a part of their power

Some were fluttering him while some was trying to use their position to pressure him

However, no matter what they does, Reif still remained as calm as before

"I heard all of you and my decision is..." Reif trailed off before a heavy gravitational spread with him as the center

The gravity bore down of the ten people's bodies, making it almost impossible for them to move

The pressure was so horrible they feel as if their internal organs would rupture soon

As the head of their respective groups, these ten people are naturally stronger than normal people. There are even a few of them that are also S rank fighters

However, their powers were still nothing in front of Reif and the pressure he brought forth was enough to subdue them

"M-Mr. Nameless, what is the meaning of this?!"

"Are you trying to make enemies with my Ducal Household?! How dare you try to harm an Aristocrat!"

"Mr. Nameless, please calm down. We could talk things through"

As usual, they also speak differently but Reif doesn't care about any of that. With a flick of his fingers, crimson-colored lightning appeared on the bodies of these ten people

Each streak of lightning feel really threatening as if they could harvest every life in this world if they wish to

These ten people encountered tons of danger to reach their current position and their instincts were honed

They were almost 100% sure that Reif could kill every single one of them if he wish to

As such, almost everyone was sweating from so much nervousness as they stared at Reif fearfully

"I will give all ten of you two choices. The first option is to disobey me and die right here, right now.. If you don't want them then submit and become my eternal slaves. These are the only options that you have, choose wisely!"
