507 DOES GOD REALLY EXIST? (1/2)
Pope and others rendered speechless. When Garth was looking at the empty space earlier, they had their own suspicions. He was looking at an empty space with face full of anger. But when Bishop took out the cloth from Garth's mouth, their doubts turned into an harsh reality. There was indeed a problem here.
”What's wrong with Garth?” , Pope who had a bad feeling asked, ”Give me a detailed explanation.”
Bishop nodded his head. First he put that cloth back in Garth's mouth. He then told everything that happened at the entrance of the Church. He told how embarrassing Garth's behaviour was. He told how he almost spilled the truth behind Feril's death in front of the crowd. And of course, he boasted how he cleverly controlled the situation in even more detailed.
Pope and others were stunned. As a Pope, he knew what was the consequences for the revelation of the truth is? The rewards for success is generous. But the punishment is even more harsh. There is a possibility for them to no longer stay alive for taking the punishment as they might be killed by the public for betraying their trust.
Pope looked at Bishop and said, ”Good! You did an excellent job. I will make sure that your cautious actions reached the God!”
”Thank You, My Lord!” ,Bishop was totally excited. He knew that the rewards in this kind of situations are even more generous compared to the rewards which they get after completion of the mission. So, his excitement has no limits.
Pope then looked at Garth and his eyes were filled with worry. If Garth was any other common John Doe in the Church, then the Pope wouldn't have hesitated even a second to kill him. But Garth was one of his best assassin. On top of that, his father Jinx was at an higher position in the City Lord Manor. If he killed Garth here, then he won't only lose his best assassin, he will also draw an unwanted enmity from Jinx! So killing Garth is definitely a bad decision.
Pope looked at the priest and said, ”Look at his situation. Find the problem at any cost!”
”I will do my best, My Lord!” ,Head Priest said with respect. He then walked towards Garth and started to display his doctor skills.
He took out the cloth from Garth's mouth. It was as if Garth has understood what kind of awkward situation he put Pope and others in, he suppressed his anger and he further suppressed the angry scolding which he prepared for his alter ego.
The priest checked Garth's eyes, mouth and he even checked his Pulse. Later, he caressed his long beard and said, ”I think it's Anxiety Syndrome Stage 3. His pulse rate is not in a good state. His eyes turned red. There are black spots around his eyes. It's clear to me that a demon has entered his body. We need to cleanse it.”
”Aren't you truly a demon from whom I am suffering?” , Garth said angrily, ”Don't you think what Priest said was right?”
