1625 The Insider with Information on the Deer God (1/2)

Edited by Aelryinth

Headmistress Perry had clearly offended the Casas by protecting the traitor.

She had still had a chance to alleviate the conflict between them and the Casas if she had handed the culprit over. However, Mo Fan could not help but think that Headmistress Perry totally deserved his respect whenever he recalled her words.

Even if the girl had betrayed the Alps Institute and brought so much trouble to the school, as long as she was still a student of the Alps Institute, Headmistress Perry would still make sure that she was judged fairly, instead of letting the Casas torture her.

It was rare to witness such integrity in the current day. Only the Alps Institute,which had remained true to their principles and values by secluding itself from the world, could do so!

Mo Fan believed the Alps Institute should not be blamed for what had happened. They were using their resources to help orphanages across the world. He believed Headmistress Perry and the others were working hard to secure the funds needed.

The Parthenon Temple was resourceful, and their businesses were all over the place. The reflexology center that Zhao Manyan brought him to was a huge money-making machine, not to mention the lands, ore veins, and herb gardens they owned, and the donations from their believers...

Xinxia might not be the Treasurer, but she was a Candidate. She had to have a certain say in the finances. If Xinxia could help the Parthenon Temple and the Alps Institute bury the hatchet and break the barrier between the two factions, Headmistress Perry would no longer have to worry about funds. She might even get more money for the orphanages. After all, the Parthenon Temple obviously had a greater influence. In addition to that, many factions that were worried about provoking the Parthenon Temple could finally work closely with the Alps Institute!

”Mo Fan, it's not that easy to bury the hatchet. I think you should let Xinxia talk to the Alps Institute in person… Brianca and Heidi are definitely the Alps Institute's successors. You can settle them first. Invite them out for dinner, and have a pleasant conversation with the women. As long as you don't leave a bad impression and try to play some mind games, it's easy to become good friends with them. Don't mention a word about your plan to work together with them. Just be friends first. When they notice how pure and kind Xinxia is, you can then spill the beans. It's a lot easier that way!” Zhao Manyan said.

”You're right, one step at a time,” Mo Fan nodded.

Brianca and Heidi were biased against the Parthenon Temple. They did not even want to come to Athens in the first place. If he told them a Candidate was interested in working with them, they might assume the Candidate had an ulterior motive!

”Mm, it's not a bad place.”

”Mo Fan, I've provided you with so many insights. Can't you sneak me into the Hall of the Goddess? I heard it's the paradise every man is looking for. The whole place is full of beauties; the Servants, the Muses, the Saintess, and female knights… man, I'm already getting excited from the thought of it,” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.

”The knights are all men.”

”Damn, I want to be a knight, then! Are they recruiting?...”

Mo Fan still paid a visit to the Mountain of the Goddess. Zhao Manyan did not sneak in with Mo Fan as he had hoped. The Mountain of the Goddess was heavily guarded, and no one could set foot on it without permission. Zhao Manyan had no choice but to wander around in other areas.

Mo Fan went straight to the mountain allocated to people who were convalescing in the Parthenon Temple.

The Mountain of the Goddess was pretty huge, with a complicated layout. One would see a new utopia after crossing every rise. They might be residences of the Servants, the Muses, or even just gardens where some special plants were nurtured.

A Probationary Servant was guiding Mo Fan. She was very chatty, and kept asking Mo Fan about his relationship with Xinxia. Mo Fan had no idea what to say to her.

They finally arrived at a little residence covered in greenery. When Mo Fan went inside, he saw a skinny woman standing below a tree, holding a little bird that had been knocked to the ground by the strong wind. She seemed to be searching for the little guy's nest, to put it back.
