Devil's Bible

Chapter 74 Uncle
"Nair!" Just as Nemus was waiting for the result.

The door to his room was suddenly opened, and a man with a nervous expression walked in.

He called out Nemus's name, and after seeing Nemus, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's so good to see you again."

"Are we that close, Byrne?!" Nemus's cold gaze stopped the man from getting any closer and shattered his feigned emotions.

Byrne, an extremely successful investor.

One of his most successful investments was marrying his intelligent but indecisive sister to a nobleman in exchange for business capital.

That nobleman's name was Ron Dartmenley.

That's right, the man in front of you is Nair's uncle.

They were also accomplices of the Dartmenley family.

Back then, Byrne was almost always on the side of the Dartmentley family's interests, but Nair eventually saw through Byrne's true colors.

This is an entity that only cares about profit.

“Don’t be angry, Nail. You are still my nephew no matter what.” Byrne was not angry because of Naim’s cold treatment. Instead, he continued with a smile, “There is actually a big misunderstanding here. Don’t get agitated.”

"It's hard to argue who was right and who was wrong back then." Byrne said earnestly, "The bloodline experiment was initially initiated by your father, and the situation was extremely complicated."

"But that's all in the past. The focus now is on the future."

"The family has forgiven you. As long as you return to the family, you can let go of everything from the past."

"Get out!" Nemes responded with only one word to Byrne's sophistry.

Nems is also extremely adept at the opponent's sophistry, such as directly characterizing things.

Many people lack a clear understanding of a matter. In such situations, whoever has the firmest stance and the loudest voice is considered to be right.

As a result, many idiotic viewpoints are considered correct at the scene.

Byrne's middle sentence, "It's hard to tell who's right and who's wrong anymore," is a reclassification of the matter.

If many people are not clear-headed and are only driven by emotions, they are easily led astray by the other party's line of reasoning in such sophistry.

Then, one gradually loses the true perception of things, which may indeed blur the truth of the matter.

Then, through certain opportunities, they are moved by some things the other party did, whether true or false, and thus truly let go of past grudges and forgive the other party in a muddled way.

The more emotions a person has in their mind, the more likely they are to fall for this trick, such as a younger brother whose entire family was killed by his older brother and whose life was controlled by him.

Neil's behavior was actually similar to that of someone whose mind was full of emotions.

Unfortunately for him, it was Nemes who saw through Byrne's little trick at a glance.

"His visit today is merely setting the tone."

“In the next few days, I expect more dogs will be getting closer, their goal being to take my ‘holy bone’ back,” Nemus knew in his heart.

The Dartmenley family has fallen into decline.

The family, once founded by Saint Dartmanley, has become rotten and decayed over the centuries.

As the bloodline of saints in the family is passed down from generation to generation, the power it contains diminishes.

The family's talent pool has dwindled, but its expenses have grown increasingly enormous due to the family's prestige.

Although they still have a considerable amount of wealth, once they lose their support within the church, the family's interests will be quickly swallowed up.

This is also why the family is so eager to create geniuses through bloodline experiments.

So-called geniuses are rare.

Most people, even if they train to death and have access to a constant stream of resources, are likely to remain stuck at around eight or nine points. As for how to advance to the Steel type, there's not even the slightest hint of it.

It is at this point that the difference in talent becomes apparent.

Ninety percent of people, even if they have resources, don't know how to use them.

As for Dartmenley, it wasn't that no one had ever been promoted to a steel company based on resources.

The focus is on gold.

A single golden seed can guarantee a family's prosperity for a thousand years.

The problem is that the last golden seed in the Dartmenley family was the grandson of that saint.

He died two hundred years ago, and the Dartmenley family's golden bloodline power subsequently ceased to exist.

Without upper-level influence and participation in the church's upper-level decision-making circles, the family's power will only grow weaker and weaker.

The appearance of Nemes became a lifeline for the Dartmenley family.

They are the ones who desperately need the bloodline of the saints to strengthen their families and then receive 'rescue'.

But today, Byrne said that the family has forgiven him and hopes that he will take the initiative to admit his mistakes and then return to the family.

Most nobles are like this, especially those who have multiplied for generations. They consider themselves superior and, even when they need your help, they still act as if it's an honor for you to do something for them.

"I feel disgusted no matter how many times I see their shamelessness," Nems thought to himself, knowing that his time to leave was almost up.

Because those nobles were exceptionally 'shrewd'.

When using privileges, they disregard the individuals who are crushed by those privileges.

However, they become exceptionally cautious when faced with even higher levels of privilege.

If I hadn't gone through multiple checks and found no problems, the people from Dartmenley probably wouldn't have been in such a hurry to see me.

These guys wouldn't willingly eat spoiled food.

As expected, the investigation into Nemes was quickly concluded.

Throughout the process, there were dozens of interviews and five physical examinations.

During one of the physical examinations, a nearly unexpected incident occurred, but someone knocked on the door, causing the person to retract the palm-sized needle.

Otherwise, Nems would likely have had some of his bone marrow removed.

Clearly, internal strife and checks and balances are still occurring.

This way, neither side will do anything too outrageous, otherwise things would get messy.

Nemes stepped out of the room and saw a new sky once again, no longer confined to that small courtyard.

Because of the numerous interrogations, which often lasted all day and night, Nems's sense of time became somewhat impaired, and he lost track of what time it was.

Before Naim could even check the time...

Then a 'meticulous' paladin appeared in front of Nemus.

The other party was wearing a full set of plate armor, which paladins rarely wear in their daily lives, and even had a helmet on.

Only one eye could be vaguely seen peeking out from under that helmet.

“Nell Datmenley, please come with me, the Grand Master wants to see you!” His words were calm and polite, yet they contained an undeniable power.
