Chapter 675 Misunderstanding And Rewards
After everything was said and done the priestess looked at Jhonny as if he was the saviour of all mankind and was madly SIMP'ing over him.The pope was humbled to realise that his blind devotion to beniogre was the reason why he let such a heist happen right under his nose and became very polite while talking to sir Jhonny as he considered to be the man who enlightened him and showed him the error of his ways.
The paladins who once saw him with hostility now sang songs of his praise as they realised that without jhonny's help the prisoner would have escaped.
However when the news that the prisoner still managed to escape was delivered to the pope the atmosphere shifted significantly as the pope could not beleive that the church's security was so lax.
The pope asked " How did he get away? ".
The paladin replied " We don't know ... He must have had a team of accomplices who had planned this out very well. All the guards were knocked out cold after being hit by sleeping gas and his cell was open when we tried to look.
We have placed the city under lockdown but , i think he's most likely in the wind by now ".
The pope's face turned grim , although everything was not sorted out yet he could see major items missing from the Church's treasury as this bothered him greatly.
At this second Jhonny said " Ohh , so he escaped? He told me that it would not end well , that he had powerful connections that would break him free even if i caught him. However I never thought it would be true ... ".
Jhonny's words sparked the pope's imaginations as he thought of a nonexistent shadow organization working behind the scenes to bring the church to a downfall.
Looking sad Jhonny continued " If he is in the wind then there is no point for me to stay here anymore .
I will go after the criminal myself. See you all later . "
Saying so Jhonny started to walk out of the treasury room as the priestess and the pope both scrambled to stop him.
" Sir Jhonny you can't leave , you have helped us so much , let us properly host you ". The priestess begged him , but Jhonny did not listen to her as he kept walking.
" Yes , yes , we must reward you for your service to the church ". The pope said , but Jhonny paid him no heed either as he kept walking.
The two followed Jhonny all the way to the common areas of the church as they kept begging him to ask of anything.
They even gave him the same offer as the pope gave Rudra that the church will owe him one , but Jhonny turned everything down.
" Not necessary ... ". He said coldly , as he scanned his eyes to look for Bo and sklya.
Only when he saw visual confirmation that the two were nearby and listening did he say " The criminal is on the loose , how can I as a true devout of beniogre rest until i have caught him!
He must answer for his crimes against the church and this old man will not rest until justice has been served.
I want no rewards , the love of my godess is reward enough for me . However if you are that insistent on giving me a reward then put a bounty on the head of the theif and let the world know that he is a criminal.
Dont stop me my respected pope. The old man has spoken ".
The pope became tongue tied at jhonny's outburst as he once again realised how special Jhonny was.
Most would not resist the temptation of the church owing them one , but Jhonny was just built different . He was a genuine beniogre lover and only worked for her glory.
With tears in his eyes the pope put his hands over jhonny's shoulders as he gave him an emotional look.
Although no words were exchanged the countless players and Bo and Skyla who watched the scene were stunned speechless at this display of emotion by the pope , as with a light nod he sent Jhonny off.
As Jhonny exited the church like an absolute legend , the priestess and the pope were both left in tears on the entrance because of his departure as the common people saw the most surreal scene of all time.
Bo and Skyla quickly met up with Jhonny but he put a finger to his lip so the duo did not ask him any questions. Only when they met up with SMG and bolted through the city and were 20 kms outside did Bo finally ask " So you got the item ? ".
Jhonny looked at Bo as if offended and said " Ofcourse i got the item kid , who do you think i am?
Jhonny English is my name ! ".
The trio gasped together as wild conspiracy theories started to pop up in their minds . Just how did Jhonny who was going into the church to rob them , come out still robbing them in such a manner that the pope and the archpriestess both came to personally send him off and even wept at his departure?
Just what sorcery was this? What level of spy awesomeness had Jhonny reached to pull this off?
Aching for more details the kids pestered Jhonny for how he did it , but Jhonny only smiled and remained silent as he thought , ' Give the old man some time , let me first figure out myself how i did it , before telling you kids what happened !'.
Choosing his words such that every action that he took had a deep underlying meaning behind it , Jhonny revealed the story of what happened inside in brief.
Although he did not reveal as to how he planned it out , Bo managed to put 2+2 together and form a wild theory as to how Jhonny managed to do it.
