Chapter 94. Dekan’s Sharp Critique of Morion
“Then, once I’ve drafted the contract, I will be your manager, Cornelia will be your assistant, and then I’ll introduce you to our President Ke.”
He would take this opportunity to register a legitimate company.
The Happy Church also needed a proper office building as a base.
Only Cloix could easily provide the bulk of the start-up capital.
Although Dekan and Cornelia had some savings, it might not be enough at the moment.
As Shadow World challengers, they also needed to keep some savings for emergencies.
“Then what do I need to do?”
“When the time comes, I’ll provide you with guidance on music arrangement and choreography. You can also improvise freely, and then we will record your performance with props.”
Dekan was just thinking of discussing with Professor Morgot, who was in charge of broadcasting at the Alchemy Academy, about expanding the broadcast range of his and Cornelia’s live streams.
For the next trial run, Dekan hoped to expand the broadcast range to the public areas of the major city-states in the Norton Kingdom.
Expanding the broadcast range came with high costs.
But if it could gain attention, it would be a surefire profit.
The Alchemy Academy also had many investors.
Although Professor Morgot understood the risks of expanding the broadcast range for these two, it was also difficult to resist the temptation of money.
If the profits were high enough, there would be opportunities to apply to the Kingdom Federation for further expansion of the broadcast range in the future.
However, no matter how the live stream was done, the share of the profits that ultimately reached Dekan and Cornelia would be difficult to reach an exaggerated amount.
After all, they weren’t the bosses.
But, if they could use this traffic to make their own signed artist, Flora, famous, the profits would be completely different!
Dekan and Cornelia would find a way to insert Flora’s live performance during their live stream!
With Flora’s talent and the popularity of Dekan and Cornelia’s live stream, she would surely become an instant hit!
When the time came to promote various projects in the real world, the wealth would be unimaginable!
“Flora, from now on, you are the number one idol of our Happy Agency!”
“Yay!”
“Th-that’s great, Flora!”
The three of them walked back towards the school amidst cheerful laughter.
Although they were no longer the Idiot Trio, they had already formed a deep friendship.
On the way back to school, Dekan said goodbye to Flora and Cornelia in advance.
He let the two girls go back to school together first.
And Dekan went to the newspaper office alone to place an ad.
He used the agreed-upon code to publish a message requesting a meeting with Urola.
Their Happy Church’s undercover agent in the Resurrection Church was finally about to be put to use for the first time.
A perfect day ended just like that.
…
The next day.
On Sunday morning, there were many people passing the time in the vast park in the Royal Capital.
A handsome young man who looked like a Western doll and a pure and gentle woman were sitting on two separate benches by the park lake, not far from each other.
Occasionally, families with children playing would pass by.
The park was peaceful, and the sparkling light of the sun reflected on the lake was dazzling for a moment.
Dekan was flipping through a book in his hand.
He seemed to be completely oblivious to the beautiful woman near him.
“Do you know a person named Morion?”
Dekan said as if talking to himself.
“Morion Hanover? He is one of the highest-level wanted targets of the Resurrection Church.”
Urola heard Dekan’s voice and replied.
But she didn’t look at Dekan.
Her hands were on her lap, her posture quite ladylike, as she admired the scenery of the lake, as if waiting for a date.
“…”
Dekan thought for a moment.
This “highest-level” indeed carried a lot of weight.
It seemed Morion had done quite a lot of good deeds against the Resurrection Church.
The wanted poster had the feel of a Monkey D. Dragon.
“Is our church also hunting him?”
Seeing that Dekan was silent, Urola asked softly.
She didn’t dare to turn her head to observe Dekan’s profile.
The more dignified and holy Dekan looked in the sun, the clearer the shadow behind him became to her.
It was a darkness she dared not peek into.
“No, he is our missionary. My contact with him has been cut off recently. I’m a little worried about him and wanted to ask if the Resurrection Church has any information about him.”
Dekan came back to his senses from his thoughts, turned a page, and continued.
A simple sentence had already set a thousand thoughts racing in Urola’s mind.
As expected, the cadres of the Happy Church were no ordinary people!
After she was sent home by Dekan, she had speculated about what other members the Happy Church might have.
The first person who came to mind was this genius named Morion.
No wonder the benefits of the Happy Church were so good.
It turned out they were using the Resurrection Church as their personal ATM.
As expected, pledging allegiance to the Happy Church was the way to go.
Urola put away her little thoughts and answered Dekan:
“Yes, some members of the Resurrection Church encountered him in a Shadow World that ended a few days ago.”
“Tell me in detail.”
“It was a 5th-rank Shadow World with a Demon King and Hero theme. The challengers’ goal was to act as supporters to ensure the Hero successfully defeated the Demon King. This time, three 5th-rank members of the Resurrection Church successfully ran into Morion.”
“They found an opportunity to attack Morion, but were tricked by Morion and led to the Hero’s party. The Hero mistook the three Resurrection Church members for bandits and repelled them for Morion.”
“As a result, Morion turned around and scammed all the money from the Hero’s party, then used a large portion of that money in a city-state to issue a bounty mission for the three Resurrection Church challengers.”
“So the Hero, lacking travel funds, had no choice but to hunt down the three ‘bandits.’ In the end, the three Resurrection Church members died mysteriously under the Hero’s frantic pursuit.”
“Because the Hero had wasted time and was not strong enough to defeat the Demon King, and Morion had made a lot of money in the meantime, he bought a lot of cursed equipment and potions with huge side effects to support the Hero, successfully making the Hero and the Demon King perish together.”
“…”
Dekan was silent for a long time after hearing this.
He couldn’t help but be glad that Morion wasn’t a necromancer.
Otherwise, this Hero could have been squeezed for a few more rounds of value by Morion.
But even if the Hero was a native of the Shadow World, tricking a Hero like this was still too inhumane.
At least Dekan’s moral bottom line would not allow him to do such a thing.
“By the way, did this Hero have any special characteristics?”
Dekan was a little curious if this Hero had offended Morion.
“This Hero seemed to always like writing stories, but he always stopped halfway through, so the bards didn’t have a very good evaluation of him.”
The Resurrection Church also had a broadcast program, so they had recorded some related information.
Dekan nodded.
Although this Hero was guilty, his crime was not punishable by death…
Morion had gone a bit too far.
Urola: “By the way, the Hero’s name is Shen He. When he gets drunk, he always likes to tear other people’s books.”
Dekan: “He deserved to die!”
