Chapter 486: Leaving Home

"… Wow."

That's all the girls and I could say after the Deacon finished his story.

We had came here looking for information, not expecting to discover the Midnight Syndicate's true goal. Yes, there are obviously evil people in the organization, but from this story, it can be said that all of the Archbishops and above in rank share one common goal—changing this world. They weren't actually evil, but they couldn't control what every Bishop under them chose to do in their name.

"The Midnight Syndicate gave me a home," the Deacon continued. "They gave me hope in this desolate world where all hope had already been lost for me. That's why everyone joined the Syndicate. Unfortunately… some Bishops let their hatred and thirst for revenge consume them, eventually leading into them wanting to outright destroy society rather than reform it. Those people are the ones who committed all the 'evil' acts you spoke of."
