Chapter 1981
---- Chapter 1981 "That little bastard needs to die!" Maurice finally exploded, unable to contain his rage any
longer as he shot to his feet with a thunderous roar. He slammed his palm down with such force that boiling
waves of energy erupted outward, sending the two Shadow Division operatives flying backward as blood sprayed
from their mouths. The desk in front of him shattered into pieces. Scarlett's lips moved, her face turning pale.
"Dad, you... should calm down.
This isn't the tto lose your temper." Maurice snapped, "How could | not be angry? That bastard has already
killed two of the Driscoll family's top men. Even if | skin him alive, it still won't make up for our loss." Scarlett's
voice dripped with hatred. "At this point, it's him or us. But that bastard is strong.
To kill him, we'll need a martial saint ‘on our side." Maurice forced himself to rein in his fury and said in a low
voice, "You two, get out and tell Franklin to csee me." The two Shadow Division men, relieved to be
dismissed, hurried out. ---- A moment later, the bald Franklin walked in. He said, "Praise the Eternal Eclipse, Mr.
Driscoll Senior. You asked for me?" In the last battle, he had been severely wounded by Victoria and had barely
escaped with his life. He still looked battered.
Maurice let out a cold snort. "Franklin, you're not in the cathedral anymore, so cut the act. You're not a monk,
you're Gabo Creek's top fighter and a cold-blooded killer." Franklin frowned. "I've devoted my heart to Solmortal.
Even though I'm no longer at the cathedral, my spirit remains by Solmortal's side. You're a man of the world, so
how could you possibly understand what's in my heart?
Please don't defineso casually, and don't question my devotion." Maurice burst into laughter, his voice

why, when you were running the cathedral, did you grab land, take donations, and accept offerings from every
major family, including the Three Titans?" His expression turned savage. "This time, I'm asking you to work with
the Driscoll family to take down Victoria and Andrew.
And you, oh great monk, don't come
cheap. You're just a wolf in sheep's
clothing, so stop pretending
otherwise. "Hell, 'm in no mood fox
your 8 noly pa Yolthe ight now.
-1- We've'known each other since we
were young, and | can tell what kind
of crap you're planning just by the
way you move!" Maurice's words
grew sharper until they were little
more than verbal blows. Scarlett was
startled. Franklin was no ordinary
man. He was a martial saint and
Gabo Creek's number one fighter.
Even though her father was one of
the Three Titans, speaking to Franklin
like this was shockingly bold. Yet,

virtuous monk vanished instantly,
replaced by something sly and dark.
Franklin chuckled. "Maurice, you
really are my brother in vice. You
know exactly what's going on in my
head. A gentleman loves wealth, sure,
but us monks? We love it too. That's
just human nature, isn't it?" The
