Chương 14: Playmate (6)
"Is that the neutral priest."
"What is he doing here."
"How disgraceful!"
"Is he going to harass the chief priest again?"
"He might have someone on his back, but how come he can do whatever he wants?"
"Hey! Don't approach him, you will be tainted with impurity!"
Daniel could hear the same malicious comments every time he visited the temple.
He continued to walk and ignored everyone as usual.
"What brings you here?" the chief priest asked without looking at him.
"Did you let the wolves attack our delivery vehicle?" he asked without showing any kind of emotion. He just plainly threw the question at the listless priest.
"I think you're lost. This is not a wolf den." The chief priest's eyes glowed as he menacingly looked at Daniel, but it didn't affect him at all.
"I have no control over the beasts." the priest shrugged his shoulder in a contemptuous manner.
Daniel's stoic expression remains as he states his next question.
"But you lure them. Is this how you play your game?"
"I don't know about your accusations. All I can say is that you're wasting your time here, former chief."
"I guess you're not scared of my power, chief priest?"
Daniel's shadow under his feet moves and becomes larger.
The chief stood up and hurriedly rang the bell on his table.
"That's useless, you're already in my zone."
Daniel's shadow spread out across the entire room and covered everything in black.
The chief priest could not see anything except the sharp, deep black eyes of Daniel.
"T-this is against the law! You will be punished!"
Daniel scoffed at the chief priest who doesn't know his place.
"I don't think the supreme priest forgets to tell you that you shouldn't poke your nose at my company. I know you know you can't harm my employees. I wonder where did you get the guts to do so?"
Canaman Trading Corporation is the company that Daniel Olitoquit personally founded with other races, but he is disguised as a safety officer to know more about what is happening inside the company rather than stay at the top, clueless.
Only a few know his identity, which makes his work as a safety officer easier.
However, this morning he got a report that the delivery truck for his company was attacked by a werewolf, and the "goods" they were transporting were all killed.
He hurriedly called Wendell, the leader of the wolves, but he could not give him an answer yet, since they focused on altering the memories of witnesses first.
He did his own investigation that led to the chief priest's schemes.
"I am the leader of this p-place! Y-you have no right to do this to me!" he shouted while his voice obviously sounded scared as he stutters.
"Do you know the reason why the chief and trainees for leadership are not allowed to reveal their faces to others?"
Daniel's eyes became larger that made the chief priest cower in fear.
"So that I can kill them without everyone knowing, your leadership will end today and you will be replaced right away."
Daniel's eyes turned red as he spoke, and a red thread suddenly appeared and cleanly separated the chief priest's head from his body.
He then let go of his zone and the room returned to normal, while the chief priest was lying on the floor, lifeless.
Clap, clap, clap
He heard a slow clap from the window.
"Wolf, you will die if you stay here, are you suicidal?"
He looked at Wendell, who was leisurely walking inside the chief priest's office inside the temple grounds.
"Do you think I am so weak to be killed with weak holy power?" he mischievously commented while kicking the lifeless body of the chief.
Daniel let out a long sigh.
"Vina has a lot of work to do. He can't even appoint a decent chief to lead." he took the chief priest's phone that was inside his inner pocket then looked into it. "that supreme priest is not doing a great job. temples are getting weaker day by day."
"Anyway, what do you need? I know you're here not because you want to pray at the temple."
"My little reckless boy was purified. I am here to kill the priestess who did it."
He then threw the chief priest's phone away because he couldn't find anything useful in his logs. Instead, he gazed at Daniel piercingly.
"who? the kid who attacked the delivery truck?"
"Yes, now choose your side and tell me who the bitch is who harmed my kid." Wendell bares his sharp fangs and prepares his stance to attack. But Daniel doesn't move and just tilted his head.
"No one is like that here." he plainly said. "You already know this temple is not on the level to purify with ease. The priests here are only trained priests. They need to team up, for them to complete a single purification, and that takes time too. I, Vina, Lexter, Hans, and Fell, are the only ones born with divinity. What kind of nonsense are you talking about when you jump to conclusions?"
Wendell loosened his stance and frowned. "Then who purified my kid?"
"I don't know?" He shrugged his shoulders. "I'll investigate, I'll tell you right away once I know." Daniel frowned, thinking that he had been experiencing inconvenient situations these past few days. He thinks that it is better to stay at home and clean.
"You better tell me! I am going to burn every temple if you hide him!" Wendell seriously warned him.
"Okay, okay, just leave now" Daniel gestured his hand to shoo Wendell away. "Your body is evaporating. You will turn into dust if you don't leave now."
Wendell looked at his body, which was slowly getting purified. He pointed his two fingers from Daniel's eyes to his eyes to show that he would keep a close watch on him. Then he shaped-shifted into a wolf to jump off the window and run off the temple grounds.
Daniel shakes his head since it is also exhausting to deal with Wendell who seems to have two personality. Day vs. Night.
"Lord Daniel, who will be the next chief?" A priestess suddenly appeared and respectfully asked Daniel questions.
"It doesn't matter who will lead, properly assess the next chief to make sure that he is not the same as this fool."
"How about the priestess mentioned by the wolf? Shall I assign a team to look for her?"
"No. I'll take care of it."
Daniel looked out the window and observed the large temple grounds.
The country of Naga has a dominating religion which is Ayanity. They worship the supreme God, Ayan, whom they believe is the creator of all things and the head of other deities.
The Temple of Ayan is the most powerful among the other deity temples. The god also gifted his disciples with the power to purify, but only a few have the purest power gifted by birth. Most of the temple priests are now trained priests.
Daniel is one of the few. He is powerful in connection and divinity, but unlike the four gifted, his power is not acknowledged by everyone because of the color of his power — which is black. So he chose to work in shadows, making everyone else in the temple unaware of his position.
Daniel discussed some sort of thing with the priestess before leaving the temple.
He drove his car back home, but his eyebrows instantly twitched the moment he saw the silhouette of a police car.
He was about to make a U-turn to avoid trouble after meeting an uninvited guest when he noticed the presence of a unique soul clinging to the policeman.
Beep, beep!
He lightly horned at the police car to get it to move out of his gate so he could enter and park.
The policeman moved his car and followed Daniel's car into his garage.
"What can I help you, sir?" he respectfully asked and smiled, despite frowning internally.
"Ah! Nida told me that you could help her. " The policeman awkwardly replied while glancing at his side as if he was listening to someone who could not be seen by the naked eye.
This time Daniel showed his discomfort after hearing Nida's name.
"What kind of trouble did the unhygienic woman bring to me again?" he asked, displeased.
Though the policeman hadn't responded to his question, he looked at the policeman's side and pointed at the empty space.
"Don't tell me that unlucky girl is that soul?"
Daniel is dumbfounded.
"Hey! How did you die?" he shouted in disbelief.
