Wow! My wife is beautiful and obedient, everyone envies her!

Qi Yuan also hoped that the friend Nick knew could be a genuinely good person.

The other party had spent all his money in the slums, treating the people there to meals for a year. Regardless of whether the food he distributed was enough to fill their stomachs, there were bound to be a few grateful people among so many.

This means that if he wanted, he could rally the people of the slums of Juecheng to his side.

There are tens of thousands of poor people in the slums, and if chaos breaks out, it would be terrible.

“There’s no point in saying anything more here. Let’s go and meet them,” Qi Yuan said.

Nick nodded and agreed to go with Qi Yuan to meet his friend, of course, concealing his identity first.

Qi Yuan left the study to check on Petty and the others, telling Petty that he was going out for a while and that she should get along well with her friends and not fight or argue.

Patty patted her chest, assuring Qi Yuan that she would be well-behaved and could go out and do her work without worry.

Qi Yuan changed into his outdoor clothes and got into Nick's car.

Nick drove straight to the church in the city of Juecheng.

Upon seeing the church, Qi Yuan immediately realized the identity of Nick's friend and asked, "Is he a priest in the church?"

"Yes, after he gave away all the money in his family, he also sold the house and eventually became a priest in the church. Because of the good deeds he had done, he will become the next bishop after the bishop dies."

"No wonder he holds a high position in Darkfire."

He had performed good deeds and was also a priest.

The poor people of the North Continent have a strong belief in the existence of God, and priests are seen as messengers of God. If a priest tells them that the four great families are evil and are demons, they will be deeply disappointed.

Some people actually believe these words and end up fighting with the four major families.

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more he felt that joining the [Darkfire] organization and investigating its internal situation was the right decision.

Blindly making enemies could actually harm you.

“My friend is getting scarier and scarier the more I think about it,” Nick said.

We got off the bus and went into the church.

Perhaps because Christmas is just a few days away, there were many people coming to the church, and the church was cleaned thoroughly to celebrate the arrival of Christmas.

Nick walked up to Qi Yuan and whispered, "Mr. Qi, should we go directly to him?"

“Going directly to him would be too obvious. Just wander around and if you run into him, act like you’ve met an old acquaintance unexpectedly. Say hello and reminisce about the past, but don’t make it too obvious,” Qi Yuan said.

Nick hesitated, "Mr. Qi, I'm not good at lying."

"You're lying. A leader of an organization isn't good at lying. Are you trying to fool a child?"

Nick could only chuckle twice to ease the awkwardness of Qi Yuan's question.

Qi Yuan also discovered that Nick still hoped he wouldn't join [Darkfire], as Nick's organization was simply killing rich people who had done all sorts of bad things.

Moreover, Nick discovered the important members of [Darkfire] in just one day.

Qi Yuan thought to himself that Nick was actually an ally of Darkfire, and that Nick was probably just lying to him about the glimmer of hope within Darkfire.

Because the aims and activities of the two organizations, [Bluebird] and [Darkfire], are actually quite similar.

One was killing a wealthy but unkind person.

One is a direct target of the four major families, which are known to be the wealthiest families in the world.

Another point is that when Ao caused trouble in Juecheng, he first met Ao in the church.

The Bluebird, Dawn, and Darkfire organizations have probably joined forces long ago, so it was the church that protected Ao from being captured when he got into trouble.

Realizing this, Qi Yuan began to secretly guard against Nick in order to avoid being sold out along the way.

Of course, he also needs to consider how to change his answer slightly if Darkfire asks him why he joined.

He was afraid that Nick would inform the people inside beforehand, and then others would know that he was actually favored by Noah, rather than being unfavored.

Having figured this out, Qi Yuan became even more cautious.

Upon entering the church, they first, like other believers, paid their respects to the statue of Allah before wandering around to other places.

There were many noisy children in the backyard of the church. These children were wearing white robes, and because of the cold winter, they wore thick clothes underneath. The loose robes could not hide the bulkiness of the clothes. From a distance, these children looked like roly-poly toys, with small heads and big bodies.

The children were having a great time. Several nuns stood by watching them, while a priest smiled as he watched them play. As he approached, one of the children called out, "Priestess Sheri, can you build a snowman with us?"

"of course can."

The man's voice was gentle and soothing, somewhat deep, as if it carried the vicissitudes of many long years and the gentleness that came with knowledge.

The children then invited the nun to build a snowman together. The kind and gentle nun, of course, did not refuse the children's lovely request and began building a snowman with them.

Nick walked up to Qi Yuan and whispered, "That's my friend, Shelley Witt."

Qi Yuan nodded.

Nick then asked, "Should I go over there now and stage a chance encounter with him?"

"Wait a minute, let's take a look first."

Qi Yuan was already starting to suspect Nick, so naturally he wouldn't let Nick guess what he was thinking.

Nick nodded in agreement and stood aside watching.

However, Qi Yuan's appearance was too eye-catching. Xie Li, who was building a snowman with the children, seemed to suddenly sense something, raised his head, and his gaze fell directly on Qi Yuan.

Sherley pushed up his glasses, said something to the children, and strode over.

His gaze fell on Nick's face, as if he were both suspicious and surprised: "You, are you Nick?"

Nick smiled slightly, "It's me, old classmate, long time no see."

He stretched out his hand.

Shelly excitedly grabbed Nick's hand and said, "Yes, I haven't seen you since graduating from school. Where have you been? Why haven't I seen you in Juecheng?"

“I went to Gondia to develop my business and started a small company, mainly in transportation,” Nick said with a smile.

Qi Yuan watched his fluent answers and couldn't help but think to himself: This is what you call not good at lying? He's a master at it!

“Gandhiya isn’t far from here, so come back and visit more often when you have time. By the way, is this Mr. Qi Yuan?”

After greeting his old friend, Xie Li turned his gaze to Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan nodded slightly. "Hello, I'm Qi Yuan. What's your name?"

“Shelly Witt, you can call me Shelly,” Shelly replied fluently. His gaze suddenly fell on the children building a snowman in the yard, and he said, “Mr. Qiyuan, do you see those children?”

"I saw it."

“Those are children from the slums who have no parents. Some of them were given to us because their parents were unable to support them. The church used to ignore these children, but ever since Mr. Noah donated a large sum of money to the church in your name and also donated a building for children, whether they are orphans or not, they can live there. That’s why these children can show such happy and carefree smiles.”

Xie Li raised his right hand, placed his palm over his heart, and bowed slightly to Qi Yuan. "Thank God, thank you for Mr. Qi Yuan's kindness."
