Chapter 708: Chapter 499, Saint Maozi_1
“Who are you?” The temple knight sternly inquired.
Her demeanor was solemn, but her tone carried an undercurrent of interrogation and accusation.
Getting halted on the streets.
This condescending attitude was also causing a surge of anger within Fang Hao.
Speaking coldly: “What’s it got to do with you?”
“Hmph! We suspect that you are related to the undead. Come with us to the temple for an investigation!” The temple knight spoke evenly.
With that said, the other attendants began to advance.
Made a move to arrest them.
Shoosh!!

The Lionheart Knights all drew their longswords from their waist, vigilantly watching the approaching group.
Seeing the other party drawing their weapons, the murderous look on their faces was all too real.
The temple attendants froze in their steps, and did not dare to approach.
“So, are you all going to resist?!” The voice of temple knight became even colder.
Fang Hao sneered, “I suspect you’re a vampire. Come with us for an investigation.”
In fact, when he heard them mention the undead, he was genuinely shocked.
But after thinking about it, he was sure that it was just an excuse.
If they truly knew about Fang Hao’s information…
They would probably send the higher-ups to arrest him.
However, coincidentally, Fang Hao does have relations with the undead.
“Hmph, are you intending to become adversaries of the church, enemies of the human clan!” The temple knight’s voice was even more raised.
A faint glow emerged from his body.
The onlookers blocking the road, who were previously enjoying the show, bowed their heads in worship as though infected, muttering praises for the God of Light.
Seeing the change in the crowd around, Fang Hao’s tone refused to let up,
If he were to follow them, then it would truly be dangerous.
“Get out, stop asking for trouble.”
Upon hearing the insults, the stern-faced knight’s face distorted into an agitated expression, he roared: “Seize these audacious people!”
Fang Hao also shouted: “Arrest them, anyone who resists will be killed on the spot.”
Both sides gave orders.
Armed, they charged at each other,
Just as they were about to collide,
The situation took a turn for the worse.
From afar, a roar of rage could be heard.
“Stop!”
Following closely, was the sound of hurried footsteps.
A group of heavily-armed guards surrounded them.
“Stop the thieves! Stop the thieves!” Simultaneously, a shrill yet familiar voice rang out.
A burly captain with a green parrot perched on his shoulder walked over.
Positioning himself in the middle, blocking the on-edge groups.
His voice was cold: “Public brawl with weapons, how audacious.”
It was him.
To Fang Hao and his companions, the green parrot was unforgettable.
Upon recognizing the parrot, they knew that these were the patrolling guards they had previously encountered at the commercial street.
“Captain Baccarat, these people publicly insulted the church. Please arrest them, I will take them back to the church for trial,” the temple knight spoke first upon the arrival of the patrolling guards.
Seeing the other party take the initiative to file a complaint,
Anjia and Lorrey immediately refuted.
“They started the trouble first,” Anjia pointed at the other party.
Lorrey also chimed in, “We were just strolling around, and they stopped us, insisting on taking us away. Their words were even foul-smelling.”
The captain known as Baccarat turned to look at the temple knight, his voice serious, “What happened?”
“Captain Baccarat, we suspect that these people are related to the undead and were planning to take them back for investigation. But they not only refused to cooperate, but also insulted the church and resisted arrest with weapons,” the temple knight replied.
Although the church has tremendous influence, Silver Wing City was still under the jurisdiction of the Hall of Justice.
As a knight, he did not have any privileges in front of the patrolling guards.
Upon hearing the knight’s words, Baccarat’s eyebrows instantly furrowed.
He remembered Fang Hao and his companions. After all, the appearance of a female orc in the city had left a deep impression on him.
People attending the conference in Lyss City were not ordinary.
Saying they were related to the undead was an excuse to take them away, how ridiculous!
Baccarat looked at the people from the church, disgust in his eyes.
Speaking sternly, “This matter ends here, stop causing noise in the street.”
Hearing this, the temple knight’s face changed drastically.
Although the church did not fully control Silver Wing City, it still held a position of great strength.
It’s impossible to settle this matter just with his words.
Coldly, he said: “Baccarat, they have insulted the church, insulted the god of light, you can’t let them leave.”
As he said this, the light from him rose again.
The people around them, once again affected by the light, showed anger, they screamed: “Don’t let them go.”
It seems…
Fang Hao noticed the changes in the people around him.
This temple knight probably has a skill that could influence the emotion of believers.
Why did he say believers and not just anybody?
Because apart from the few who screamed along, many people were still just there, watching the situation develop.
Baccarat’s face darkened.
Said: “You say they are related to the undead, do you have any evidence?”
“Hmph, evidence naturally exists, but it isn’t with us. Once we are back at the church and conduct further investigations, the truth will be clear,” the temple knight remained unyielding.
His resolute tone even made Fang Hao uncertain.
Had they actually discovered him?
If his true identity was revealed, he would have to kill and run.
