Chapter 657


    Charles was dissatisfied.


    He gave a cold smart, dusted off his long sleeves, and said, “Hmmph, I can’t believe it. The mighty War


    Legate Draco is devoid of manners. St. Elmer’s Church is a sacred ce, and I won’t allow anyone to


    trample on it.”


    de was furious and wanted to take action, but Mya stopped him.


    Adrian said, “Father, are you using St. Elmer’s Church to assert your dominance over me? You should


    know that the previous legates of Wyvern Peak, including myself, have bad tempers.”


    Charles sneered, “This is where Saint Elmer rests, and no one has the right to act recklessly here. Not


    even the emperor himself if he graced us with his presence.”


    Although Charles did not explicitly state his intentions, he had made himself clear to everyone. He


    wanted to use the church to assert himself in front of War Legate Draco and gain a sense of superiority


    This was something Adrian was clearly able to see through.


    When Charles showed no sign of backing down, Adrian sat on a chair in the meditation room and


    pulled out his phone, which was an indication that he had lost patience.


    Seeing this, Mya stood up and said, “Father, you may provide your services in this church, but you can


    also be emuntested. You shouldn’t take advantage of the leeway and respect the legate is giving


    you.”


    “I have not fasen advantage of anyone, mm, Charles continued, “a church is a sacred ce, and


    anyone who tries to


    disturb the peace will be severely disrespecting its priest. I’m merely performing my duties by protecting


    this church’s honor.

    ”


    Charles hands remained sped together throughout the conversation, disying a firm attitude that


    suggested he was not going to back down until Adrian knelt before him. He wanted to see if the great


    War Legate Draco was going to submit to his assertion of dominance.


    de was barely able to contain his anger, but Mya, who was a woman, had a little more restraint. She


    said, “Father, I’ve already told you that you’re overextending the church’s authority. I know you’re trying


    to use it to assert dominance over the legate, but you should drop that idea.”


    However, Charles smirked and said, “I’ve never thought about asserting dominance over anyone.


    However, I’ve said that anyone who disturbis the peace of this church is showing great disrespect.


    Instead, they should get down on their knees and


    Before Charles could finish his sentence, Adrian suddenly struck him with a powerful kick, hitting him


    on the shoulder.


    “Argh! Charles streamed in pain. He was locked to the ground, and his left shoulder went limp.


    “You..” Charles tried to speak, bat Adrian lifted his foot and stepped on Charles’s face.


    H


    “I’ve been patient with you, but you keep pushing your luck. I already told you I’ve got a bad temper,


    dude’t t?” Adrian said.


    “Argh! Charles screamed again, writhing on the ground as his face was pushed against the cold floor.


    “War Legate Draco, this is a church…”


    Charles still wanted to make use of the church’s authority, but Adrian interrupted him and said, “I know


    this is St. Elmer’s Church. However, it looks like you falled to realize that..you overestimate its authority.


    Adrian removed his leg and took a few steps back


    The under he’d given caused a chill to run down Charles‘ splor as he broke down in dea “Wh–What?!”
