117 Information

After killing the priest, Sheila could feel whatever was restraining her had now disappeared and without wasting any further, she immediately uses her two combination skills, which was Intimidation and Shadow Magic, to bind the people who were still chanting on the spot. When her skill started affecting them, it also interrupts their chanting as the light surrounding them vanished into nothingness. As for the priest's subordinates, the moment they were hit by her skills, they feel like they suddenly 'teleport' to a swampy place where they were surrounded by many types of beasts that would devour them at any moment if they let their guard down even for a split second. 

Though in reality, they were just seeing the illusion that was caused by Sheila's combination attacked on them as they stood in place with fear overwhelming their expression.

When Angelica was finally freed from the restrained, she quickly equipped the handgun to her hands, ready to fight against the group of men surrounding her. But before she could do anything, Sheila had already bound them on the spot, which she could see from their reaction to her attack but Angelica doesn't know what sort of attack they experience, even so, simply looking at the fear on their face stopped herself from questioning about it.

The fact that Sheila could easily kill the priest even though he was supposedly protected by an invisible barrier showed that she was much stronger than Angelica, as the latter couldn't do anything when her power was restrained. True, she can put a fight with them, but eventually, she would grow tired and die under their combination attacks. After all, Angelica couldn't escape even with her strength double than a normal person as no matter how strong she is, physically, she still couldn't handle a group of adult men circling around her.

"Do you want to finish them off, or would you leave it to me?"

Sheila appeared next to Angelica in the blink of an eye when the latter was looking at the group of men before asking the question to her. Though she doesn't mind killing them as it would keep her identity a secret, it seemed that they came with the ill intention for Angelica instead of her so she would follow what the latter would do, even if Angelica let them go, Sheila would still kill them without hesitation as the lower the people who know about her existence, the better. 

When she heard the question, Angelica's eyes turned cold while staring at the men around her that were still frozen in place. Though the church and Ernest Family had never come head to head with each other, they never went out of their way to fight in a broad daylight as the moment they decided to wage a war, even if they won in the end, they would still suffer a huge casualties and possible even crippled themselves and when that happened, the other hidden clan might take the chance to overthrow them. 

That was why up until now, although they fight, it was only a small skirmish that amounts to nothing in the bigger picture. But the fact that the priest came intending to kill her, a daughter of one of the Elders in Ernest Family, showed that the church has started making a move that seemed wanting to wage a war. It would have great if the priest was not given the mission to do that, but if it is... the church might have found a trump card of their own. Without a doubt, she must inform her mother of this information as soon as possible before things started went downhill as her family might be taken by a surprise if the church decided to attack them so suddenly. After pondering for a few moments, Angelica finally comes to a decision as she points the handgun in her hands toward the men before killing them off one by one.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

When the gunshots stopped, what left onto the ground was merely a corpse of men with bullets piercing precisely through their forehead while their face was still written with fear from the illusion they suffered before their unfortunate death. Angelica couldn't help but heaved a sigh as she wonders whether that friend of hers actually knows what the church was up to. The Earth Dragon's existence was already enough of a shock, and now she also found out one of the church's motives. She didn't even know if her mother would believe the words if she had told her but, even if she finds the information unbelievable, Angelica thought her mother would not just ignore it completely as it was not in her nature to do that.

"You are done? Then I'll take my leave."

Before Angelica could say anything in response, Sheila had already jumped into her shadow before heading down leaving the red-haired girl behind to clean the problem. That was actually a good call from her as the moment Sheila left the scene, a woman in her 20s appeared silently next to Angelica before bowing her head toward the latter like a servant would to their lord. The aura surrounding her was much more powerful than the one around Angelica, the woman was an expert hired by her mother to protect her in secret, if not for the fact that she was stopped by a group of unknown people which she had already killed by now, she would have already been here ten minutes earlier.

"My apologies, Miss. I have no excuses to pardon my mistake and would accept any punishment given to me."

Angelica shook her head in response to the strict and stiff words from the woman kneeling next to her.

"It's fine, it must have been the people from the Church. It was not your fault so there is no need for punishment, just make sure you don't get caught by them again, that's all that matters."

With that said, now she needs to tell the information she had acquired from to her mother and without wasting any further, Angelica pulled out the phone from her pocket before dialing the number she was so familiar with. 

"Hello, Mother? Yes, it's me...about the mission...yes, I have completed it...but can I tell the information to you in person? yes, it's very important. Okay, I'll see you later then, goodbye."
