Chapter 316 Arrest Them!
Quinnie was at a loss for what to do. While she wanted to reason with everyone, she could not
understand why there were always a few individuals who would angrily interrupt and escte the
situation.
The scene remained chaotic, and in the midst of the confusion, some people even attempted to
forcefully remove Lilly.
However, they did not know who ke was, and they were quickly driven away before they could even
get close.
Finally, the police officers responsible for maintainingw and order arrived at the scene. Immediately,
everyone pointed their fingers at ke and Lilly, using them of destroying valuable items and
engaging in physical violence.
"They are the ones who deliberately sabotaged the event! They must be undercover agents sent by the
organizers of this doll exhibition!"
The police officer was about to address the situation when the team leader noticed ke''s presence.
The police were speechless.
How could you tell me the God of Battle was sent by someone as a spy?
If ke was there, the officer could not help but find it amusing that in his eyes, everyone in the entire
square seemed to be undercover agents except for ke.
How childish…
"What''s going on here?" The police officer scanned the chaotic scene, hesitating to approach ke
directly. Instead, they decided to apprehend Anthony, who appeared more approachable.
Wearing a stern expression, Anthony responded, "This is Olivine Temple. I believe I don''t need to
exin its significance. However, it appears that someone organized an event here intentionally,"
ke''s voice turned cold as he addressed the police officer, "Our ancestors shed blood to protect this
He turned to Josh and asked, "What offense does this constitute?"
Josh nodded assertively, as if delivering an official statement, "Disrespecting the martyrs is considered
an act of insult! In severe cases, it can lead to a prison sentence of up to three years or less!"
ke retorted, "Seems like you don''t understand what a child understands."
The previously mouring crowd fell momentarily silent, taken aback by his response.
A voice broke the silence with a mocking tone, "What''s the problem? We''re just wearing our preferred
attire to socialise with friends, and you''re trying tobel us with such a significant usation?"
Josh raised his voice to reiterate Anthony''s earlier statement, "There''s nothing wrong with having
preferences! However, it also depends on the asion! It''s inappropriate for you to wear such clothes
in front of the Heroes'' Temple!"
One of the girls sarcastically rolled her eyes and remarked, "Oh, absolutely! You''ve convinced us with
your wisdom!"
The crowd began to chatter among themselves, each person defending their own preferences. They
saw it as a spirited fight for their rights, believing there was no reason to back down.
The police shouted coldly, "Everyone quiet!"
The noisy crowd suddenly fell silent again.
The team leader furrowed his brow and asked, "Who organized this event? Who granted permission for
it? Is it even permissible to hold such an event here?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted into noise once again. Why wouldn''t it be allowed? It had been
happening for many years, and the square was a public space. If it was approved by authorities, then it
must be permitted.
People started rambling, providing examples and quotingws that they barelyprehended, which
only frustrated the police officer further, causing him to beughed at.
If onecked understanding of thew, whatever they said would be thew. People have the right to
do as they please and enjoy their freedom.
The police officer felt like they were dealing with an unreasonable group of children, but they were
Then, they adopted an attitude of not listening and questioning why.
As the situation escted, the police officers decided to arrest several people. The ones who had been
shouting vehemently now attempted to flee, but their attempts were futile as they were apprehended by
the authorities.
The atmosphere in the square became increasingly tense. Amidst the chaos, someone recorded the
moment on their phone and shouted, trying to sway public opinion, "Look, everyone! The police are
using force! This child shattered 10 million dors worth of figurines into pieces! Instead of catching the
ones who caused the destruction, they''re arresting innocent people!"
ke''s frustration grew, finding the situation highly inefficient.
With a frustrated expression, he kicked up the broken porcin fragments scattered on the ground and
delivered a series of swift ps in the air, silencing those who thought they were justified in holding up
their mobile phones and spewing nonsense before attempting to flee.
Meanwhile, to emphasize the seriousness of the situation, a warning shot was fired, echoing through
the air, and grabbing everyone''s attention.
As several screams pierced the air, a wave of terror washed over the crowd, causing them to
instinctively crouch down and cover their heads. Finally, there was silence.
With a cold and determined expression, ke sent a message, "Find the person behind this and arrest
them!"
Amidst the silence, Lilly''s voice cut through the tension, "It''s not that you can''t wear the clothes you like,
but you can''t wear them in front of Olivine the Great,"
"Everyone, do you understand now? This isn''t an exhibition as you believed, it''s a sacred ritual," Lilly
exined
She pointed towards the altar, emphasizing her point. "These three shrines here are real, and these
broken dolls were made with human ashes. They are sacrificial offerings for this ritual,"
She continued, "There are bad people among us who seek to destroy our joy. They havemitted
these acts in the presence of Olivine the Great, disrespecting and dishonoring him! Why didn''t any of
you realize this?"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay.
It doesn''t make sense…
A girl weakly tried to exin, "This isn''t a sacrificial ritual, you''ve misunderstood. It''s just a scene from a
theatrical performance..."
Lilly shook her head, her expression firm. "No, look around,"
As everyone followed her gaze, they saw that the sky had turned dark, with ominous clouds looming
overhead. The wind began to pick up, carrying an eerie chill through the air.
Inside the shattered shrine, the candles flickered in an eerie manner.
Suddenly, a toppled doll began to slowly rise, as if responding to the collective gaze fixed upon it. But
just as quickly, it copsed back to the ground.
Despite the crowded square, a chilling sensation ran down everyone''s spines.
"No... Am I mistaken?" someone whispered.
"How dis the doll stand up by itself?"
"Someone must be pulling a thread..."
No one answered.
As the wind intensified, its howling drowned out all other sounds. It seemed as though there was a
chillingughter echoing through the square, though when people strained their ears, they heard
nothing but the eerie silence.
People started to get scared.
Unbeknownst to everyone, a few individuals stood hidden behind the altar, observing the events that
happened with furrowed brows.
One of them spoke, his voice barely audible, "Today marks the first sacrifice, and it must proceed
without interruption!"
The other two nodded and walked quickly to both sides of Olivine Temple.

Unbeknownst to the crowd, the square had been tampered with a year ago. During the reconstruction
process, certain individuals took advantage of the situation to infiltrate the construction team. They
purposely damaged the square tiles and discreetly buried spirit nails at strategic locations.
These spirit nails were thick and robust, capable of withstanding any interruption to the ceremony. As
long as the spirit nail was in ce, the ritual could continue unabated. Their n had been carefully
orchestrated to ensure that nothing could stop them.
Lilly''s senses heightened as she heard Pablo''s urgent voice calling her over. She quickly broke free
from her father''s grasp and rushed over to where Pablo was.
Pablo''s face was filled with concern as he pointed to a specific spot, his voice filled with urgency. "Lilly,
them out immediately,"
Lilly was about to act, ready to remove the spirit nails, but then Pablo''s warning halted her. "Wait! There
are more on the other side. We need to remove them at the same time or they''ll have the upper hand!"
As ke gazed at the sky, he noticed that Olivine Temple was enveloped by a dark, ss-like
semicircle. Within this boundary, one of the spirit nails was positioned on one side, while the other was
directly opposite it.
"You have to pull them out at the same time!"
ke followed Lilly and asked, "What''s the matter?"
Lilly quickly repeated what Pablo said.
She looked around, grabbed a stone, and smashed a tile vigorously, revealing a section of the red spirit
nail.
ke immediately went to the other side and found the empty tile.
He crushed the tile with one foot, revealing a bright red nail.
Lilly grabbed the nail, "Daddy, we need to pull them out at the same time!"
ke nodded.
He tightly gripped the spirit nail, pouring all his strength into the attempt to dislodge it, but to his dismay,
the nail remained firmly in ce, resistant to his efforts.
Floating beside him, Pablo whispered, "The body of a mortal cannot shake it loose."
Just as ke persisted, a deep voice resonated in his ear, causing his heart to constrict with unease.
Turning around, he saw a pale man in a white robe next to him.
ke was stunned.
