Beverly was silent for a while, before saying, "Alright, Deacon Penn. We''ve discussed this with the relevant departments in a special research meeting and think that this might be an act that the Green Leaf Faction and Scarlet Leaf Faction have teamed up to put on."
"An act?"
Wilbur furrowed his brows, finding the whole thing quite strange. What was strange was the fact that the people of the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense had held a special research meeting for this.
Upon second thought, which was also pretty possible. After all, the forces behind Greensource Corp were far too powerful, and they already had fingers in so many countries including the Allied States.
If Greensource Corp was able to invent different potions for different people, they might be able to control many of the major countries around the world. It waspletely normal that the Department of Paranormal Research and Defense of Dasha had the foresight to beware of this.
Beverly''s sweet voice rang through the phone. "Yes, Deacon Penn. The forces in Cametra have been split into the Green Leaf Faction and the Scarlet Leaf Faction, but both factions have a very close rtionship with each other. Let me put it this way: both the Green Leaf Faction and the Scarlet Leaf Faction have the same goal as Greensource Corp''s medical research. If the research is a sess, they can control many different countries and get the resources they''re after from them. Of course, if the research is a bust, both factions will put on an act of rivalry. Eventually, the people of the Scarlet Leaf Faction will take out Greensource Corp and rebuild the Green Leaf Faction. That''s what it will look like, but what''s really happening is an act put up by both the Scarlet Leaf Faction and the Green Leaf Faction working together."
Wilbur was hit with realization at Beverly''s words, his jaw agape. He suddenly felt like he was in the eye of the hurricane that was the affairs of this foreign country but could not run at all.
"These two bloody factions... I can''t believe they made mee all this way. Is there really no way to make them pay? Will Cametra end up handling this internally either way?"
Wilbur felt like both sides should be punished since both of them were involved in the act. That would teach them to behave in the future, wouldn''t it?
Yet Beverly said, "I''m so sorry, Deacon Penn. We have no right to meddle in Cametra''s internal affairs. Your only mission there, Deacon Penn, is to fix the problem with Greensource Corp."
"Motherf*cker!"
Wilbur hung up the call, feeling as if he had been pranked. He hade all this way from Dasha, only to be caught in the middle of an borate act put up by the two most powerful forces of the country without being able to serve them the punishment they deserved.
Wilbur sighed, but his lips soon curled into a smile. Despite the fact that his trip to Cametra could notpletely quell the greed of some members of the Scarlet Leaf Faction and the Green Leaf Faction, at least he had managed to experience and learn about the power of light and the power of destruction.
On top of that, he had gotten these gloves containing the power of light as well.
Light and destruction were two powers that far surpassed spiritual energy, and Wilbur could not help but rx at the thought. He picked up his phone, dialing Madam Marie''s number.
The next day, Tina drove the both of them to Pilsey. Marie''s face seemed to have regained its glow as she smiled at them standing at the entrance of the manor. "Mister Penn, thank you for saving my father, Harrod, and me."
Women were extremely sensitive to any changes in their aura or appearance, and Madam Marie had been shocked to discover that herplexion was getting better by the day ever since Wilbur had helped the three of them break the Holy One''s evil curse.
At the same time, Harrod''s health had also taken a turn for the better. On top of that, Albus Jonan, who had had one foot in the grave with the doctors dering he had days to live, had recovered at a rapid speed with some rest. He had been discharged from the hospital just the day before and returned home to rest.
Wilbur chatted with Marie for a while, and the few of them came to the living room in the mansion. Marie had Harrod open the ten nature paintings. "Mister Penn, I''ve bought these ten paintings as a gift for you to express my gratitude."
"Thank you, Madam Marie. I''ll dly take them."
