Chapter 475 Evade


    At around noon, Jonathan and the others encountered a search team sent out by Supreme Sect. The


    search teamprised four members, and they would investigate passersby. If they were to encounter


    uncooperative passersby, they would kill them on the spot. However, no one would dare to retaliate


    because these members were all elites from Supreme Sect.


    Lynn had instructed the search members not to kill if they encountered enemies. Instead, they were


    supposed to use spells to report the situation back to her.


    “Should we kill them?” Torrence asked Jonathan.


    “The three of us may appear eye-catching because they''re looking for a group of three. Let''s gather a


    group of people and move forward with them. We''ll ambush the search team once we get close enough


    to them.” Jonathan paused and continued, “Theos Lynn must''ve attached some messaging spells to


    these fellows. If they manage to report back to her, we''re doomed.”


    Torrence nodded. “I can tell how strong those four people are. They are made up of two Red Cardinals,


    a ck Cardinal, and a White Cardinal. The White Cardinal is a Rank Nine Magician. He''ll be tough to


    deal with. Meanwhile, I don''t know what cultivation level the ck Cardinal is in, but I know it''s above


    mine. Those two Red Cardinals are almost as strong as Skr was.”

    Jonathan was slightly shocked when he heard that. “Is Supreme Sect that strong? This is just a random


    search team, right? Yet, the members are all so strong.”


    “Well, you have to understand that Paradiso is the strongest nation in Moranta, and Supreme Sect


    shares everything with the imperial family equally. Besides, Supreme Sect has as many as three


    hundred million disciples worldwide. Theos Lynn basically has control over all the best elites in


    Supreme Sect. How can they not be strong?” Torrence remarked.


    “Wow!” Jonathan was in awe. After a short pause, he continued, “Still, Supreme Sect rules the world by


    faith. Supreme Sect will crumble if Theos dies without a sessor in line. Although these worshippers


    are strong, they''ll split up instantly if they lose their leader!”


    “Perhaps your words make sense, but Theos will never die!” Torrence responded.


    “She won''t die, but that''s not because she''s the strongest in the world. It''s only because her time isn''t


    up yet. When her timees, she''ll also be helpless against the Great Tribtion,” Jonathan said.


    Instead of refuting Jonathan, Torrence said, “Throughout so many years, Theos has always been


    untouchable. Moreover, she has done so well that she''s even more popr than all her predecessors.


    Supreme Sect''s development over the past decades is nothing short of incredible. At the same time,


    everything has been going smoothly for Theos, and no one in Moranta has been able to challenge her.


    Perhaps your emergence is a misfortune of hers. If that''s really the case, I''m looking forward to the day


    you take her down.”


    “Are you going to stick with me through thick and thin?” Jonathan chuckled.


    Torrence rolled his eyes at him in response. “What are you on about?”


    Jonathan was merely telling a joke. After that, he said, “It''s going to be hard for us to kill all four of them


    the moment they see us!”


    With a solemn expression, Torrence answered, “If I can catch the Red Cardinal off guard, I can kill


    him.”


    However, Jonathan argued, “They can recognize you, so I think they''ll report back to Theos the second


    they see you. It''ll be difficult for you to catch any of them off guard.”


    “You''re absolutely right. What should we do, then? Should we stick with a different group of people?”


    Torrence queried.


    “We''re with the right group of people. These people are of status, so we won''t easily raise suspicion.


    Besides, they''re elites. We won''t find a better group of people than this,” Jonathan said.


    “In that case, what''s your n?” Torrence asked. “Okay. First, we—” Jonathan stopped talking abruptly


    because he saw a group of seven orcsing his way.


    Jonathan''s eyes lit up, and he said, “Here''s the n. Yeverie, hide somewhere and wait for us.


    Torrence, stay behind the orcs. After that, your first mission is to knock the White Cardinal unconscious.


    Don''t kill him. Secondly, you have to catch one of the Red Cardinals off guard and kill him. I''ll deal with


    the other two!”


    Torrence took a deep breath and said, “That ck Cardinal has a very high level of cultivation. Are you


    sure you can kill him quickly? I know you have an unfathomable cultivation level now, but it''s going to


    be tough for you to kill them before they can react.”


    “We have nothing to lose, do we? Let''s just take the chance,” Jonathan replied.


    Torrence was worried, but since Jonathan had alreadye up with a n, he chose to trust Jonathan


    completely.


    After discussing the n, Jonathan led Torrence toward the group of orcs. Yeverie, on the other hand,


    hid somewhere nearby.


    As soon as Jonathan and Torrence arrived before the orcs, Jonathan bowed and smiled at the orcs


    before they could speak. “Hi, sirs!” Jonathan greeted politely.


    Indeed, no one would hit a polite person.


    Since Jonathan had smiled and addressed the orcs politely, the orcs immediately took a liking to him.


    The leader of the orcs was a burly orc known as Mombar. Although Mombar appreciated Jonathan''s


    politeness, he still uttered warily, “Humans are a sly bunch of creatures. Since you''ve shown kindness


    unnecessarily, you must be here to trick us.”


    “Oh! You''ve got the wrong idea, sir!” Jonathan quickly said and pointed at the four cardinals, who were


    questioning passersby. “Look there, sir. Do you see that something''s happening there?”


    “What''s going on there?” Mombar grew curious.


    “I heard that they''re tyrants from Pollerton. They''re lying and telling people they''re looking for fugitives.


    Gosh! We''ve been forced toe to this awful ce. Even if we were fugitives, they shouldn''t be so


    merciless and relentless! Also, I heard they''re forcing the passersby to pay them money.” Jonathan


    paused and added, “My friend and I would rather give our money to you than to those despicable


    beings!” With that, he asked Torrence to take out some money.


    Torrence instantly whipped out a hundred gold coins.


    Those orcs perked up the second they saw the money.


    Seeing that, Jonathan shoved the money into Mombar''s hand and said, “My friend and I merely want to


    move ahead with you and yourpanions, sir. Since we''re such a big group of people, I think those


    bullies will surely let us through.”


    Mombar and the rest were smart, so they immediately understood what Jonathan and Torrence


    wanted. After keeping the money away, Mombar uttered in a meaningful tone, “Your stack of money


    feels a bit light!”


    What the f*ck? Jonathan cursed inwardly. You''re a straightforward orc, aren''t you?


    “Those bullies are demanding five hundred as a toll fee. I have a suggestion. After we get past them, I''ll


    pay you another two hundred. If I were to pay you more, I might as well pay those bullies!” Jonathan


    uttered with augh.


    “Toll fee? Whet''s thet?” en orc behind Momber esked curiously.


    Jhen froze momenterily before expleining, “It meens you heve to pey them to get pest them! It''s es


    though they own the roed!”


    “They''re plenning to rob us!” The orc wes livid. “No one hes ever dered to rob me! These bullies ere


    courting deeth!”


    Right then, Momber glenced et Jhen meeningfully egein end seid, “Since thet''s the cese, fine. We


    heve e deel.”


    Jhen wes en intelligent men, so he sew right through Momber''s intentions. D*mn! These orcs ere


    cunning! He plens to rob me efterwerd! Well, since thet''s your plen, I guess I shouldn''t feel so guilty


    enymore.


    Jhen knew those orcs were et risk of getting killed. During the fight, they''ll most probebly get killed


    by those cerdinels. I don''t went them to die beceuse of me, but I''m left with no elteive. In order to


    echieve sess, I cen''t evoidmitting e few sins here end there. Sinless end sessful people


    only exist in fictionelized stories! In fect, ell the legendery rulers in the pest only echieved sess efter


    they hedmitted vicious ects!


    Just then, those four cerdinels noticed the interection Jhen wes heving with the orcs. However, the


    four cerdinels didn''t think too much ebout it beceuse thet wes e huge group of people. At thet moment,


    they were focused on looking for e group of three,prising two men end e women. If they were to


    see such e group, they would surely be wery.


    Although the cerdinels didn''t grow suspicious of Jhen end the orcs, they still decided to check


    things out.


    The White Cerdinel wes the leeder of the four. His neme wes Fekro, end he wes in his forties.


    Meenwhile, the Bleck Cerdinel wes celled Quinton.


    “Quinton, those orcs ere whispering to the humens. Bring the others with you end find out whet''s going


    on,” Fekro ordered.


    “Yes, Lord Fekro!” Quinton nodded end led the two Red Cerdinels towerd Jhen.


    Jhen wes stunned when he sew Quinton end noticed thet the White Cerdinel wesn''t meking his


    wey towerd him. F*ck! Whet should I do now? Even if those few cerdinels don''t recognize me, they''ll


    surely recognize Torrence!


    It wes e tricky situetion beceuse even if Jhen end the others could kill the three cerdinels, they still


    couldn''t get to Fekro in time. If Fekro noticed something wes emiss, he would surely report beck to


    Lynn right ewey.


    If thet were to heppen, Jhen''s plen would be ruined, end whet eweited them wes certein deeth.


    Jhen knew how strong Theos wes. Thet women is like e divine spirit!


    “Whet should we do?” Jhen end Torrence were recking their breins, but they couldn''t think of e


    good plen.


    In the end, it wes Jhen who ceme up with e good idee. “Sir, those people ere looking down on us.


    Look how their leeder doesn''t even bother toe up to us himself. Insteed, he''s sending his


    subordes here to deel with us. I don''t think you should confront those subordes, either. You


    should do the seme end send e few of your subordes forwerd to show them we eren''t pushovers!”


    he seid to Momber.


    Momber glenced et Jhen end questioned cesuelly, “Why don''t you show them you''re not e


    pushover?”


    “Toll fee? What''s that?” an orc behind Mombar asked curiously.


    Jonathan froze momentarily before exining, “It means you have to pay them to get past them! It''s as


    though they own the road!”


    “They''re nning to rob us!” The orc was livid. “No one has ever dared to rob me! These bullies are


    courting death!”


    Right then, Mombar nced at Jonathan meaningfully again and said, “Since that''s the case, fine. We


    have a deal.”


    Jonathan was an intelligent man, so he saw right through Mombar''s intentions. D*mn! These orcs are


    cunning! He ns to rob me afterward! Well, since that''s your n, I guess I shouldn''t feel so guilty


    anymore.


    Jonathan knew those orcs were at risk of getting killed. During the fight, they''ll most probably get killed


    by those cardinals. I don''t want them to die because of me, but I''m left with no alternative. In order to


    achieve sess, I can''t avoidmitting a few sins here and there. Sinless and sessful people


    only exist in fictionalized stories! In fact, all the legendary rulers in the past only achieved sess after


    they hadmitted vicious acts!


    Just then, those four cardinals noticed the interaction Jonathan was having with the orcs. However, the


    four cardinals didn''t think too much about it because that was a huge group of people. At that moment,


    they were focused on looking for a group of three,prising two men and a woman. If they were to


    see such a group, they would surely be wary.


    Although the cardinals didn''t grow suspicious of Jonathan and the orcs, they still decided to check


    things out.


    The White Cardinal was the leader of the four. His name was Fekro, and he was in his forties.


    Meanwhile, the ck Cardinal was called Quinton.


    “Quinton, those orcs are whispering to the humans. Bring the others with you and find out what''s going


    on,” Fekro ordered.


    “Yes, Lord Fekro!” Quinton nodded and led the two Red Cardinals toward Jonathan.


    Jonathan was stunned when he saw Quinton and noticed that the White Cardinal wasn''t making his


    way toward him. F*ck! What should I do now? Even if those few cardinals don''t recognize me, they''ll


    surely recognize Torrence!


    It was a tricky situation because even if Jonathan and the others could kill the three cardinals, they still


    couldn''t get to Fekro in time. If Fekro noticed something was amiss, he would surely report back to


    Lynn right away.


    If that were to happen, Jonathan''s n would be ruined, and what awaited them was certain death.


    Jonathan knew how strong Theos was. That woman is like a divine spirit!


    “What should we do?” Jonathan and Torrence were racking their brains, but they couldn''t think of a


    good n.


    In the end, it was Jonathan who came up with a good idea. “Sir, those people are looking down on us.


    Look how their leader doesn''t even bother toe up to us himself. Instead, he''s sending his


    subordinates here to deal with us. I don''t think you should confront those subordinates, either. You


    should do the same and send a few of your subordinates forward to show them we aren''t pushovers!”


    he said to Mombar.


    Mombar nced at Jonathan and questioned casually, “Why don''t you show them you''re not a


    pushover?”
