Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2428

"Ede doesn't mean anything compared to the rest of the bay. Once the Pope finds out, he will send his men to come for you. You're in luck, for I'm a man who appreciates talent. You're powerful enough, and I can let you control the military forces in Ede if you join us. Aside from me, you'll be the most powerful person in Ede starting from now," Aiden offered.

"Did you think I'd say yes to that?" Wilbur question.

Aiden blinked at Wilbur, looking calm as ever. "The way I see it, you don't really have a choice."

"Oh, that's where you're wrong. I do have a choice, and that's to kill you, and then sit on that throne of yours while I wait for the Pope to show up."

Wilbur summoned the Magic Dragon Blade to appear in his grasp. Kino, who had been lying on the ground, sensed an overwhelming murderous aura and stared at Aiden in terror. "Help me, Bishop Aiden! Please save me!"

Wilbur swung his blade, and Kino collapsed onto the ground lifelessly. However, Wilbur did not stop there and continued to make his way to Aiden.

"You have two choices now, Aiden. Either you tell me where the Pope is or meet your demise."

Aiden took a deep breath. "I think there's still room for negotiations. Maybe there's another way of doing this."

Aiden struggled with all his might until Wilbur eventually dropped him onto the ground. He gasped loudly, chest heaving as he sputtered, "I'll talk, I'll talk! The Pope is now in Tasha, the capital of Brunda. It's at the heart of Bullard Bay. The Pope is controlling the wars from there, and attacking Skermann was also his orders."

"Why did he choose to attack Skermann?"

"The Pope spent a year gathering enough resources, and now Skermann has lost its usefulness. Most of the refugees across Bullard Bay had fled to Skermann as well. Attacking Skermann is the only way to drag them into the wars. No nation is safe from this, and those are the Pope's orders given to him right from God himself."

Realization struck Wilbur at once. There was no doubt that the Pope of the Church of Holy Illuminati had sacrificed his spirit to the evil gods and chose Bullard Bay as a target of contribution.
