Chapter 576 -398 Priest Jack_3
‘A Transcendent, huh… Ah, “Constellation Faction Sequence Eight – Fraudster,” no wonder his Charm Value is not low.’
With the casual conversation, Johnston increasingly felt that this young Mr. Jack was no ordinary person. His words revealed his extensive knowledge and noble demeanor, which made Johnston inclined to befriend him.
“I’m usually not good with words, but I didn’t expect to chat so freely with you.”
Johnston said to Chen Lun.
“May I ask, where are you headed on this trip on the ‘Pearl Barmogo’?”
“Royal City Bixie Crost.”
Chen Lun replied.
“That’s really a coincidence! If you don’t mind, I’d like to invite you to visit my company… cough, although the location isn’t confirmed yet, I think we can settle it within two months. I hope you can grace us with your presence then,”
Johnston enthusiastically said.
“If time permits, I will visit.”
Chen Lun responded noncommittally with a nod.
Immediately, Johnston dragged Peter into a conversation about the company and their business, broadly explaining that they planned to manage a vineyard and provide high-end custom jewelry services.
In his speech, full of ambition, Chen Lun almost thought he had entered a pyramid scheme.
Through Johnston’s words, Chen Lun learned that actually, all these plans and ideas originated from him and his wife’s mutual friend, Peter, who didn’t stop praising him as a business genius who had previously held senior positions at two vineyards and three jewelry businesses, possessing extensive experience.
Moreover, Johnston also wanted to bring Chen Lun into the partnership.
Because he had almost drained his family wealth for this business venture, most of the funding came from his wife Fana’s family… yet even so, they were still two thousand Gold Pounds short of the eight thousand six hundred budgeted.
“Cough, Mr. Jack, if you are interested in investing, I will give you a significant share and dividends…”
Johnston said tentatively and eagerly.
“The wine and jewelry business are industries that have thrived for ages in the Empire, not to mention that the Royal City is filled with officers and nobles. Doing business with them, it’s hard not to make money… Moreover, even if for various reasons it doesn’t flourish, it would still not be a loss.”
Peter laughed, adding from the side.
“Are you interested in joining, Mr. Jack?”
Chen Lun gave an enigmatic look at this man.
From the other person’s recent performance, he had already confirmed that the guy was a fraudster.
In conversations, he barely spoke, but when it was crucial, he would interject a few well-placed words that dramatically ignited Johnston’s passion and triggered Johnston’s cravings for money and status.
Perhaps for ordinary people like Fana and Johnston, nothing seemed amiss, but Chen Lun, a Sequence Five, easily saw through Peter’s schemes.
‘A “Fraudster’s” supernatural ability, huh… Is this guy after money or conducting a Promotion Ceremony? Or is it both?’
Chen Lun shrugged indifferently.
“Hmm, I’m quite optimistic about this business, two thousand Gold Pounds? No problem.”
He immediately took out an Imperial Bank voucher, wrote down the amount of two thousand Gold Pounds, and handed it to Johnston.
The latter hadn’t reacted yet, not until he received the voucher and saw the amount written on it, which made him shiver.
“This…”
Johnston was very surprised.
Just who exactly is this Mr. Jack?
To be able to so casually produce two thousand Gold Pounds without even a frown!
The noble lady Fana and the handsome young Peter beside her were also surprised.
Among them, a flash of pleasure crossed Peter’s eyes, which Chen Lun easily caught.
‘Interesting…’
He thought.
Peter clearly hadn’t realized that Chen Lun was a Transcendent; after all, there was a big gap between them. He simply thought this Jack was a wealthy fool.
“Mr. Jack, may I ask what you do for a living?”
Johnston’s tone was now noticeably more respectful.
“Oh, I don’t mean to pry into your privacy, just curious, it’s fine if you don’t want to share.”
The noble lady Fana also cast a curious glance.
“Consider me a clergyman, I guess,”
Chen Lun pondered and replied.
After all, his trip to the Royal City was mainly to head the Royal City branch of the Generous Council.
“Are you a priest?”
All three were somewhat surprised.
In this world, the clergy held quite a high status, and in some situations, they were even more respected than nobles.
“Yes, you could say that.”
Chen Lun nodded slightly.
“So you are Father Jack… If I may ask which deity do you worship?”
Fana covered her mouth gently and asked tentatively.
Her underlying meaning was to find out which Church Chen Lun belonged to.
Chen Lun glanced at her, chuckled, and said:
“I worship the King of Slaughter, Your Majesty.”
“Oh! Sun! It’s the Generous Council! You are a newly appointed priest of the Seven Righteous God Churches!”
Fana and her husband were astonished.
Peter, on the other hand, suddenly stiffened his smile; he seemed to realize the trouble and his heartbeat quickened. Any rogue Transcendent encountering clergy from the Righteous God Church, especially while scheming right in front of them, would feel nervous and fearful.
Chen Lun looked at Peter with a near smile, then turned to Johnston and said:
“When we arrive at the Royal City, you can bring your wife to visit the worship site of the Generous Council… My Lord governs contracts and witnesses fairness, quite protective of businessmen like you. If you encounter any issues in your business, perhaps He can be of help.”
Upon hearing this, Peter’s face went pale as he secretly wiped off his sweat.
“Of course, we will certainly go,”

Johnston smiled and then patted Peter’s shoulder.
“But I trust Peter, so there shouldn’t be any issues. Thank you for your kindness, Father Jack.”
The noble lady Fana, however, took Chen Lun’s words to heart.
As they parted, she specifically asked for Chen Lun’s contact and the various requirements for worshiping the King of Slaughter.
Chen Lun watched the three depart and chuckled softly.
