Chapter 106: Don't You Dare Steal Sister Potato
If Cecilia wasn't mistaken, "Child of God" was likely the title used for that little blonde girl.
Does that mean they actually killed her?
At that thought, the last shred of hope in Cecilia’s heart vanished.
"Dammit… how could they lay a hand on such a cute child? These people are absolutely beyond reason!"
Meanwhile, not far away, the two men were still discussing their next move, completely unaware of the danger about to erupt.
"So, you're saying this 'Lord' you mentioned comes from an organization called the Wheel of Fate?"
"I believe that was the name. I’ve heard they’re active all over the world."
"Is that so? If that’s true, they might be even more terrifying than the Chaos Church. At least we can keep an eye on the Chaos Church, but we knew absolutely nothing about this organization until now."
"Exactly. I was just as shocked as you when I first learned of them, Bishop. But then again, these are just rumors. I haven't seen them with my own eyes yet…"
"Hearing you say that makes me curious. I hope I get the chance to see this so-called Wheel of Fate for myself…"
Before the words could fully leave his mouth, a violent sense of crisis surged in both their hearts.
For a split second, they seemed to see a flash of arc-light before their eyes.
Before they could even react, their vision suddenly plummeted.
Thud!
Their heads hit the ground, rolling until they stopped at Cecilia’s feet.
Looking at the two dead men, Cecilia felt her heart calm down slightly.
"Phew… I suppose this counts as avenging her. But how am I going to explain this to the Sword Princess? If I don't handle this right, she’ll probably have me flayed alive…"
Cecilia shook her head at the thought.
"Whatever. It’s already come to this. I’ll go back and admit my mistake first. If all else fails, I’ll just push all the blame onto the Holy Church."
With that, Cecilia hurried away before anyone could discover the scene.
Once Cecilia was gone, Thanatos, who had been observing from the shadows, emerged.
He looked at the two corpses and shook his head.
"Well, these two have some level of awareness. They might still be useful as pawns."
Thanatos raised his hand, and a pitch-black power pierced through the two corpses.
[Authority of Death: Death Rejection]
After pulling the two back from the brink of death, Thanatos dispersed the aura of death surrounding him.
"Elania and the others should have arrived by now. It’s time to notify the contact over there."

"Mmm… Sister Potato, I feel like something’s weird."
"What’s wrong? Is the food at this restaurant not good?"
"It’s not the food. I just feel like someone’s talking about me…"
Yu Yunsheng looked at her, puzzled. "You mean there’s someone else here?"
"Mmm… probably…"
Hearing Elania say that, Yu Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a bit strange herself.
"I guess so. Come to think of it, this shop is weird too. Ever since we walked in, no other customers have come in. This is the Sword Princess’s territory; it should be packed."
Elania’s head snapped up instantly.
"Wait, Sister Potato, who is this 'Sword Princess' you keep talking about…?"
Faced with Elania’s sudden alertness, Yu Yunsheng was caught off guard.
"Uh… well, she’s just an ordinary idol of the Aodu Empire. I’ve only heard people mention her; I don't know much about her."
"Really? I feel like the only reason you brought me here was to see her…"
"Haha… really?"
"Isn't it?"
Under Elania’s questioning gaze, Yu Yunsheng scratched her head.
"Alright, alright. I’ll take you around to play later, okay?"
Elania slumped onto the table.
"Ugh… Sister Potato, aren't you just using that as an excuse to go to the Opera House…?"
"Well, about that…"
Just as Yu Yunsheng was struggling for an answer, a long-awaited system prompt suddenly popped up.

"?"
Yu Yunsheng was stunned by the sudden notification.
"What’s going on? I’ve already reached the destination? But why was there no reaction until now?"
Noticing Yu Yunsheng’s expression, Elania asked curiously, "What’s wrong, Sister Potato? Is there something on my face?"
"Nothing, Elania. I was just wondering if your family is worried about you since you ran away from home."
"Family? Hmph. Those people couldn't care less about me. I’m just a Child of God for them to use…"
Hearing Elania’s complaint, Yu Yunsheng felt a bit awkward.
"I see… Well, if you don't want to go back, you can stay with me."
Yu Yunsheng reached out and patted Elania’s head.
"Mmm… okay…"
Suddenly, Elania sensed something was off.
"Huh?! Wait, that’s the scent of a stranger!"
She turned her head toward the source of the feeling and spotted the stranger.
In a corner of the restaurant, a blonde loli about her age had appeared out of nowhere.
The girl’s emerald-green eyes formed a sharp contrast with Elania’s golden ones.
"Be careful, Sister Potato. I feel like she’s quite strong… Wait, Sister Potato?"
Before Elania could react, Yu Yunsheng had already rushed over to Atoris.
"Wait! You’re the Sword Princess of the Opera House, the Sword of the Empire, Atoris, aren't you?!"
Startled by Yu Yunsheng’s intense approach, Atoris gave a slight nod.
"Yes. Is something the matter?"
"That—that… can I have your autograph?!"
"This… alright."
Atoris pulled out a pen. She was already used to people asking for autographs.
Seeing her agree, Yu Yunsheng immediately rummaged through her inventory for something to sign, eventually pulling out her map.
A moment later, Atoris’s signature was emblazoned across the map.
After confirming it was real, Yu Yunsheng took the opportunity to snap a few in-game screenshots of Atoris.
Hehehe… I’m gonna be rich! Atoris’s fan count is second only to Bai’s. An authentic autograph of hers isn't cheap at all. Once I post this on the forum, life at home is going to get a lot better.
Thinking of this, Yu Yunsheng quickly stowed away the priceless map and composed herself.
"Ahem… I got a bit excited just now. I wonder what brings the famous Sword of the Empire here to see us?"
Atoris waved her hand dismissively.
"It’s fine… I expected that kind of reaction. However, the main reason I came here was actually to see that young lady…"
Before she could finish, Elania suddenly lunged forward, blocking the space between the two.
"Stop, stop, stop! What do you think you’re doing? Especially you! Why are you trying to steal my Sister Potato?!"
Atoris blinked, caught off guard by Elania’s sudden intervention.
"Um… I’m not trying to steal your sister…"
"Then you’re not allowed to stand so close to her either!"
"I… alright."
Elania didn't breathe a sigh of relief until she had stared Atoris down, forcing her to retreat five meters.
Honestly, her hair and age are so similar to mine. She’s clearly trying to compete with me…
Just as the atmosphere fell into a heavy silence, an untimely voice suddenly burst into the room.
"Waaaah! Lady Sword Princess! I have failed the organization! I betrayed your trust! I couldn't protect—"
The voice cut off abruptly.
Cecilia, who had just burst onto the scene, stared at the sight before her with a blank, stunned expression.
