Chapter 912: Chapter 886:
"Yes!" Jagger immediately stepped forward, holding a tray with a still-beating heart. It was awe-inspiring, and Morris was dumbstruck, feeling that this display was somewhat excessive. Jagger smiled calmly and said, "This is a token of Mr. Zaka’s sincerity. I hope the Church Envoy will accept it!"
Morris thought the Red Robed Sect Leader would be furious, but unexpectedly, the Red Robed Sect Leader gave a faint smile and turned to the two female attendants behind him, saying, "Keep the gift well; we will send them an even more precious gift in return later!"
"Yes!" The two female attendants retreated with the tray.
"Mr. Zaka, where is Ye Chen?" the red-clothed woman immediately asked with a smile.
"Sect Leader, no rush!" Upon seeing the red-clothed woman, Zaka developed an unusually intense interest in her. He smiled at the woman and said, "Rumor has it that the Red Clothes Great Master possesses looks that could captivate a city and a country. Therefore, today I have an impertinent request."
Hiss...
Morris immediately took a sharp intake of breath. Zaka truly was audacious, daring to direct his intentions towards the Red Robed Sect Leader. She couldn’t help but feel horrified. If the Red Robed Sect Leader were to fly into a rage, it would surely trigger a bloody conflict. A flicker of murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the red-clothed woman, but it disappeared in an instant, leaving no trace. The red-clothed woman smiled calmly and said, "I wonder, what is Mr. Zaka’s impertinent request?"
"I want to see the true appearance of the Red Robed Sect Leader; I hope the Red Robed Sect Leader can fulfill my impertinent request!" Zaka revealed a look of anticipation, a look filled with inherent wickedness. He observed the alluring figure of the Red Robed Sect Leader, noting how her every word and gesture brimmed with desire.
Morris was about to come out and offer some advice, but unexpectedly, the red-clothed woman nodded with a smile and said, "Alright!"
"Sister..." Morris looked at the red-clothed woman in surprise and said, "Your appearance is not something the average person is permitted to behold!"
"Insolent!" Zaka immediately became angry, glaring at Morris and said, "Why can’t it be seen? You, this White Robed Sect Leader, are not just seen, but even desecrated by me. Isn’t it just a Red Robed Sect Leader? Don’t think the Church Court is so mysterious; it’s nothing but a bunch of women putting on pretentious acts!"
Zaka’s words deeply stung Morris, but, under the circumstances, she had no choice but to lower her head. The red-clothed woman smiled calmly and said, "Why can’t it be seen? Besides, is Mr. Zaka an ordinary person?"
"Haha, I like what I’m hearing!" Zaka laughed heartily, a lecherous grin appearing in his eyes.
Subsequently, the red-clothed woman slowly raised her hand, using two slender fingers to pinch her veil. Zaka displayed a pig-headed grin, eager to lean in for a closer look. The red-clothed woman revealed a sly glint in her eyes and paused, saying with a smile, "You can see me, but Ye Chen must be handed over to me. To the Church Court!"
"Alright, alright!" Zaka hurriedly nodded and said, "We originally planned to hand him over to the Church Court for disposal, and in return, gain some benefits from the Church Court!"
"Very well!" The red-clothed woman smiled and then lifted her veil. As she unveiled her face, she gently tossed her head, and her ink-black hair tips danced in the wind. The surrounding men were captivated, utterly mesmerized.
"Wow, she truly is a beauty..." some soldiers couldn’t help but murmur.
Zaka couldn’t resist swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Although he lived on this Afghan plateau, his aesthetic values were quite similar to those of Eastern people. They also admired Sora Aoi and liked Yui Hatano.
And the red-clothed woman before him possessed a delicate and exquisite face, her features so refined that she seemed like a masterpiece painstakingly sculpted by God. Zaka was entranced, his blood boiling with excitement. He muttered uncontrollably, "Good, good, very good!"
But he couldn’t quite explain what exactly was so good about it.
The red-clothed woman, seeing that the surrounding men were drawn in by her beauty, also revealed a hint of a smile. Every woman feels proud of being able to captivate men with her looks. The Red Robed Sect Leader was also a woman, although not just any ordinary woman.
"Mr. Zaka, have you had enough of a look?!" The red-clothed woman gave him a discontented glance.
"No, no!" Zaka hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Let me take a closer look, let me have a proper look. Such a beauty should only exist in heaven, rare on earth."
"Mr. Kazat, you flatter me!" With that, the red-clothed woman immediately reattached her veil. Zaka seemed not to have had his fill, smacking his lips, he sighed helplessly and said, "Sect Leader, I have another impertinent request, I wonder if you can grant it?"
"Hmm?" The red-clothed woman was taken aback, then slightly frowned and asked, "Do you have any more unreasonable requests?"
"I wish for the Red Robed Sect Leader to come to my side and make contributions to my terror business!" Zakaza looked seriously at the red-clothed woman. Seeing a hint of anger in her eyes, he quickly added, "If you are willing to come, I am willing to give up my position as leader for you and will serve you loyally."
"There’s no need!" The red-clothed woman immediately waved her hand and said, "In life, I belong to the Church Court, in death, I am a ghost of the Church Court!"
"Ah, what a pity!" Zakat sighed helplessly. He indeed felt helpless. Such a beauty; it was a failure to not see her every day. So beautiful, so maturely charming, exuding a proud demeanor in every word and action.
"Mr. Zakaz, you’ve seen the person, now isn’t it time for me to meet Ye Chen?" The red-clothed woman snorted coldly.
"Jagger, take the Sect Leader to see Ye Chen!" Zakat waved his hand and then said, "Remember to treat them well!"
"Yes!" Jagger said hurriedly.
The red-clothed woman followed Jagger’s lead, slowly walking into the dungeon. After she entered, Zakat quickly pulled Morris aside and earnestly begged, "Morris, is there any way to make the Red Robed Sect Leader stay?!"
"No way!" Morris shook his head coldly.
"Morris, don’t be angry. Rest assured, even if I get her, I will still favor you!" Zakat grinned with a mouthful of foul odor as he leaned towards Morris, who quickly dodged, then sneered, "I’m telling you, the Red Robed Sect Leader manages everything in the Church Court. She wouldn’t abandon the entire world just to come to this remote place to be a leader?!"
"Well..." Zakat seemed to understand the insignificance of his status. The current Base Organization was no longer what it used to be. The origins of the Base Organization date back to some years ago, ever since Uncle Aden was captured by the Americans. Later, the base was led by a guy named Leng Shaobai, and then Leng Shaobai handed it over to his nephew Li Xiaohu. Li Xiaohu ruled for a long time, but soon after his father, Li Si, died, he disappeared without a trace with a group of wives.
Afterwards, the base fell apart; some left with their troops, and others declared independence. Even though Zakat’s faction claimed to be mainstream, it was not the strongest within the base; merely one of the many forces.
Zakat gritted his teeth, saying, "If it comes to it, I’ll just have to kidnap her!"
"What!" Morris’s eyes widened instantaneously as he stared in shock at Zakat, gritting his teeth and said, "Have you gone mad for women? I’m telling you, the red-clothed woman is not someone you can afford to offend. Offending her is equivalent to offending the Church Court. By then, your little place here is likely to be obliterated!"
"Hmph, once I get her, I don’t believe she would be willing to destroy me!" Zakat grinned slyly.
"Bastard, don’t do anything reckless!" Morris hurriedly said.
"This matter is not your concern. Just focus on your duties!" Zakat coldly laughed and said, "You need to keep in constant contact with UK, and see what moves they’re making!"
After he finished speaking, Zakat immediately summoned a few trusted followers. Then, they began to discuss the details of kidnapping the red-clothed woman. A large conspiracy net was slowly being cast over the red-clothed woman. At this time, she was still following Jagger, heading further into the dungeon.
In the dungeon, Ye Chen lay quietly inside the cell, resting with his eyes closed. His entire body was shackled with iron chains, fastening him to the wall, so he could only lean against it to sleep.
"Ye Chen..." Upon seeing Ye Chen, the red-clothed woman could hardly endure the turmoil within her heart and almost rushed in.
Ye Chen opened his eyes and saw the Church Court’s Red Robed Sect Leader standing before him. He blinked hard, feeling something was off. Why would the Red Robed Sect Leader be here? It wasn’t until he heard her call his name again that he hesitantly asked, "Is it you?"
"Do you remember me?!" The red-clothed woman smiled coldly and said, "I didn’t expect that when we met again, you would be someone else’s captive!"
The red-clothed woman was trying hard to control her emotions; she didn’t want anyone to unveil her identity, so she had to speak to Ye Chen in such a cold manner. Yet with each icy word she uttered, her heart suffered immense torment. She whispered inwardly: Ye Chen, don’t blame me, I don’t want it this way either. Just please, don’t blame me.
"What if I’m a captive? It’s still better than being one of them!" Ye Chen snorted lightly. The red-clothed woman smiled faintly and said, "Our Church Court has been looking for you everywhere. Finally captured you this time! Get ready to come with me to the Temple of the Gods to receive God’s punishment!"
