Sitting in a safe place and looking at the despicable villain who plotted against them running about for hideous things was indeed a very novel experience.

However, neither Gerrard nor Palin was a good and qualified spectator.

Gerrard became sleepy after having kept watching it for a moment. For this big man, it was indeed uncomfortable to bend over in the cave. Not long after he sat on the ground he again began to doze off.

But Palin was intently watching it with great interest. However, his face quickly turned pale, the vitality of his body also dimmed, making him seem like he was dying.

“No soul is really troublesome!” Sui Xiong whispered secretly. He used some magic to add to his vitality.

Time passed slowly and the screen reflected Ryan’s every move. Things that he thought were secret were clearly seen by Palin.

He turned out to be the president of the Association of Thieves of Pyroxene town. The reason why he disguised himself as a desolate old thief was to implicitly plot against Gerrard. This was not for seizing the sacred object where God’s will resided, but simply for pleasing the gods of his faith.

He did not believe in the God of Thieves, but the God of Conspiracy. This god was keen on making believers use plots and framing extensively. He despised pure violence and proper communication. Only by ghostly means, such as intrigues and deception, could he be pleased.

Although the president only ruled the Association of Thieves in Pyroxene town, which was trivial for the entire world, obtaining such power and status had been the result of decades of hard work and use of power and wisdom through countless conspiracies and bloodshed.

Throughout his life, he used conspiracies more than bloodshed, so he liked using conspiracies indeed. This made him a loyal follower of the God of Conspiracy, and he also defamed the God of Thieves’ glory more than once because of his faith.

All this had been rewarded, he had been commended more than once by the deity so that he had obtained strength and position above his talent, which firmly restricted his vice president who far exceeded him in terms of talent.

But everything was of little significance to him.

A few days ago, after using a trick once, he annihilated a gang of bandits who had been reluctant to sell cheap booty to the Association of Thieves. Afterwards, when Ryan drank to celebrate it, he saw a dying old man from the reflection of the glass.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that his life was about to end.

When he realized this, things like power, status, and money…all were overshadowed. All his thoughts had been occupied by one thing.

He wanted to go to the Holy Kingdom of His Majesty God of Conspiracy and never to the netherworld!

Considering his conducts, it was likely that he would fall directly to purgatory if he went to the netherworld, where he would experience all the numerous tortures once, twice or three times amid the devils who were waiting for villains to be punished. Anyway, the devils would certainly not let him feel good. If his soul could still survive after the end of his torture, then he would be crushed and slung to the bottom of the Stygian River, where he would be recombined with other particles of soul and formed into new souls with no chance of independent reincarnation…

This result was what he absolutely did not want!

So he hurried to pray to the God of Conspiracy for the eligibility to go to the Holy Kingdom after death. But the God of Conspiracy did not give him permission directly but asked him to do something that could please himself for the privilege of going to the Holy Kingdom.

After careful consideration, Ryan decided to use a plot to kill the ghost with the holy object which he felt was sure enough to please the God of Conspiracy. To this end he had others do him a favor. He had others falsify some information inside the Association of Adventurers and also found a large number of unknown people to pose as adventurers there.

He prepared very carefully and in the process of getting trust by fraud, all the relevant staff did not even lie.

He had indeed been an adventurer and quitted it about twenty years ago. He did have a son who loved to gamble, he even asked his son to lose a fortune in a casino which detained him and required a ransom to redeem him. And he really could not get that much money, because he had temporarily transferred his capital to others.

Everything was done to fool the god who could detect lies.

In the end, he succeeded.

After getting trust by fraud, the rest of the things were simple. Playing some tricks in the treasure cave was easy because he had done this kind of thing more than once when he was an adventurer.

Things went on even more smoothly than he expected. It turned out that “Bloody Hand” Ruhr’s treasure cave used the magic formation of transmission for people to enter and exit. He didn’t know where the orc robber found this cave, perhaps it was the legacy of a great sorcerer.

With the help of this cave and a scroll of the death cloud that couldn’t be unlocked in a closed environment, he successfully completed a trap where anyone would definitely be killed. In order to ensure the effect, even after he was transferred and left, he also destroyed the magic formation of transmission for entering the treasure cave.

Even if that giant could resist the scary noxious gas, he could not leave the cave and would have to stay there. He would starve to death because he had no magic formation of transmission.
