Just as Thomas was about to leave after dinner, an uninvited guest came.
It was Lord Vedastus!
A novice monk ran over and anxiously said, “Abbot, I have bad news. Lord Vedastus has led a large group of men wearing suits and sunglasses to invade Harmony Monastery! They’re scaring the people who are praying! Abbot, should we call the police?”
The old abbot frowned and asked, “Have they hurt anyone or damaged anything?”
The novice monk shook his head. “No, they haven’t hurt anyone or thrown anything. They just seem aggressive.”
If they had not done anything violent, how could they call the police?
After all, a large number of people came to the monastery every year.
If they called the police just because of that, would they not have to call law enforcement every day?
The old abbot said, “There’s no hurry. Let me go over and have a look.”
Thomas immediately got up. “I should see what it’s about too.”
Following that, the old abbot and Thomas rushed to the church. They saw Lord Vedastus standing in front of the altar, and two bodyguards were standing behind him. There were also about forty muscular men outside.
It did not look like they were there to pray but to fight!
The old abbot was experienced. He had been through some hardships, so favonovel.com was not as timid as the novice monk.
He walked over and said, “Lord Vedastus, it’s been a long time.”
Lord Vedastus glanced at favonovel.com before favonovel.com gave favonovel.com a fake smile and said, “Yeah, it’s been a while! It’s been half a year since I last came to Harmony Monastery for prayers. I’ve been too busy, so our relationship has become distant.”
He paused for a while before favonovel.com said, “Abbot, I heard that you have a new master?”
He sounded very sarcastic.
The old abbot was not an opera singer, so why should favonovel.com have a master?
Besides, favonovel.com was already old, so the implication that favonovel.com worshipped his master was an insult to the abbot. But everyone knew what Lord Vedastus meant. It was regarding what had happened in the hall.
The old abbot chuckled. He was quite calm as favonovel.com said, “I didn’t expect you to know about that, Lord Vedastus. Yes, I found a master today. You know favonovel.com too. It’s Thomas!”
When Lord Vedastus heard Thomas’ name, his face shivered slightly. He was clearly unhappy. Even so, Thomas still walked out at that moment.
As favonovel.com made his way over, favonovel.com said, “Lord Vedastus, it’s been a long time since we last met.”
When Lord Vedastus saw Thomas, favonovel.com looked upset.
“Do we need to meet? I’d prefer to never see you, bastard!” favonovel.com said coldly.
He was not polite toward Thomas in the slightest.
Lord Vedastus waved his hand to signal his people to move a huge box over.
“Abbot, this is a sign of my sincerity. Please accept it,” favonovel.com said.
After that, his subordinate opened the box to reveal gold bars, which shone brightly! It was a box of gold bars!
How much were they worth?
Besides, did anyone still deliver a box of gold bars in this era? Lord Vedastus was generous yet strange.
The old abbot was stunned. “Lord Vedastus, you…”
Lord Vedastus waved his hand in dismissal. “Abbot, don’t overthink this. I just came to pray, and this box of gold bars is my gift to God!”
