Chapter 101: This problem is problematic!

As he looked at Shi Xiaobai raise the short knife up as though he was about to stab at his own heart, the Arch-Cardinal’s eyes turned moist. Tears nearly streamed down.

He was just an ordinary lowly employee in San Francisco, United States. He turned numb towards his daily life as he was often blamed by his superiors. Back at home, he would receive the incessant nagging of his wife.

Occasionally, he would recall the touching moments during the beautiful period of back when he was in school. He regretted being playful and did not strive for excellence. As such, he would always be wasted after a meal. He would then hide in an alley to cry to himself, lamenting the distant dream that he had long abandoned.

He had once thought of committing suicide, hoping to be released from his mundane and uninteresting life that repeated itself day after day. However, he lacked the courage. It was not because he could not bear leaving his son that was becoming naughtier, nor was it because he would miss his wife that was becoming uglier. Only his self-indulging fantasies had kept him alive in his intolerable life.

He thought he would end up living the remainder of a decadent life of sorrow until he met the Bishop of Virtuality. From then on, his life changed completely. His laughable and lamentable fantasies turned true, giving him genuine satisfaction.

In the Church of Virtuality, he was just subordinate to one and had thousands under him. All the parishioners of the Church of Virtuality treated him with absolute respect. He could easily trample on the dignity of anyone.

He won the Bishop of Virtuality’s favor and obtained the power to ravage through most of humanity. He could enjoy the struggles of so-called geniuses as he begun yearning to see geniuses despair. He reveled in destroying those elites who led an extraordinary life.

There was no doubt he felt bliss.

However, his bliss was coming to an end at this moment. Letting Xiao Xiao escape was already something he would be punished for. If Shi Xiaobai were to succeed in committing suicide, then he would receive a severe punishment.

Having disappointed the Bishop, he would lose his status as Arch-Cardinal. If he was lucky, he could become an ordinary practitioner who had to bear hardship without complaint. If he was unlucky, he might be assigned to become a suicide bomber in the next terrorist attack.

If Shi Xiaobai were to commit suicide, he would lose everything he had.

“No, no, don’t die!”

“I implore you not to commit suicide!”

The Arch-Cardinal immediately raised his head and said with a sorrowful voice. It was rather touching.

A sacred and solemn voice echoed right after he finished speaking with a voice filled with grief and pain.

“Human, are you begging This King?”

The Arch-Cardinal was stunned as he looked down and saw the knife Shi Xiaobai had raised lowered back at his chest. It was as though he was in no rush to commit suicide.

The Arch-Cardinal slightly heaved a sigh of relief and pondered over Shi Xiaobai’s words. His frown gradually eased up.

With his identity, how could he humble himself to implore a scum at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm?

That’s not right.

If this guy were to commit suicide, then everything he had would come to naught. Not only would he lose his status, he might even lose his life!

No, I have to humble myself and think of a way to stall him and make him turn careless.

The Arch-Cardinal spent three seconds to come to a conclusion before he said with eased eyebrows, “Yes, great King, how can the formidable you commit suicide? This lowly one begs you to live on!”

Shi Xiaobai sneered and said, “Heh heh, do you think a few flattering words can make This King become careless and forget your sinister goals?”

The Arch-Cardinal broke out into cold sweat. With the current situation, it was indeed true that he could not bluff his way through.

“For that, you got the right idea.”

Shi Xiaobai interrupted the Arch-Cardinal’s thoughts and said in all seriousness, “Hurry, hurry up and continuing flattering This King.”

The Arch-Cardinal’s brain froze immediately. All the words he was planning to say seemed stuck.

His brain could not keep up!

Shi Xiaobai suddenly said, “That’s right. Since your power is given to your by your whatever Bishop, can the whatever Bishop give anyone power?”

The Arch-Cardinal’s eyes lit up when he heard this. With a good idea, he hurriedly said, “Yes, His Grace Bishop of Virtuality can bestow infinite power to anyone who obtains his favor. His Grace does not want to harm you because he has seen the greatness in you. He wishes to invite you to join the Church of Virtuality and give you the power that is worthy of your status!”

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai hesitated as though he was in a dilemma.

The Arch-Cardinal immediately clenched his fists.

An opportunity. This was an opportunity!

“As long as you join the Church of Virtuality, with your esteemed status, you can definitely be on equal footing with His Grace. The world would be awed by you as you become a King of this world!”
