It was a silent night as the old abbot lay in bed and quietly fell asleep. He was an old man who had worked the entire day, so favonovel.com was extremely sleepy. As soon as favonovel.com lay on his pillow, favonovel.com immediately fell asleep.
While favonovel.com was sleeping, a young monk walked into his room.
The monk was the old abbot’s student, and his name was Brother Fred. He usually took turns with other fellow monks to take care of the old abbot, and it was Fred’s turn tonight.
“Father, your tea is ready.”
Fred walked up to the bed with a cup of tea. The old abbot would usually drink a cup of tea every night before favonovel.com slept. According to him, drinking tea was a way to wash off any misfortune and evil. However, the old abbot was exhausted today. He had fallen asleep before favonovel.com could drink his tea.
“Master, are you asleep?” Fred asked.
He heard some snoring from the old abbot in response. The old abbot was really sleeping due to his fatigue.
Fred moved the teacup and gently placed it on the wooden table in the middle of the room before favonovel.com switched off the light.
Aside from normal lights, there were also a few special lights, also known as candles, in the old abbot’s room. After the lights were switched off, the candles would not be put out.
A few of them would burn every night to keep a little light in the abbot’s house.
Just as Fred was about to leave the room, favonovel.com glanced around and did not see anyone else in the vicinity. Therefore, favonovel.com made a bold move. He pushed one of the candles toward the curtain at the side.
Slowly but surely, the curtain started to burn.
Fred muttered, “Master, please don’t blame me. It’s your fault for being too stubborn!”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com closed the door gently.
If everything went smoothly, the old abbot would definitely be burned to death in the room. If an investigation was carried out, there would be no evidence to implicate favonovel.com since the old abbot would be dead. Plus, people would just assume that the old abbot had accidentally flipped a candle and caused the fire.
Everyone seemed so perfect on the surface. However, Fred did not know that someone was watching favonovel.com in the night.
It was Scorpio from the Twelve Golden Zodiacs!
He was a man who belonged to the dark. Whenever an important person needed protection, Thomas would secretly put favonovel.com in charge of it. This time, Scorpio was secretly protecting the old abbot.
All of Fred’s tricks were witnessed by Scorpio, but Fred was still unaware of it.
While Fred attempted to leave, favonovel.com suddenly felt dizzy. Then, favonovel.com lost consciousness. After that, Scorpio carried Fred, pushed open the door, and walked into the room. He gently placed Fred in the room before favonovel.com tied favonovel.com to a pillar with some rope. Then, favonovel.com went to the bed and carried the old abbot.
Once Scorpio brought the old abbot out, favonovel.com closed the door.
The old abbot slept soundly throughout the whole process, not knowing a thing.
Ten minutes later, the old abbot’s room was on fire. The monks freaked out, and all of them got up to put out the fire.
“Fire! Fire!”
“The old abbot is still in the room. Hurry up and rescue him!”
There was a commotion among the monks. Some of them carried water to put out the fire, while some called 911. It was chaotic!
Unfortunately, the house was too old, and there were too many wooden objects within, so the fire spread very quickly. It did not matter how fast they moved. it was still too late.
“Abbot! Abbot!” All the monks cried in sorrow.
