Don't confiscate my identity as a human race

Chapter 284 - 272 Lanci has Received a Direct Employment_1

The lofty windows behind Sikder’s throne, several meters high, were shrouded by a thick waterfall-like curtain, nearly preventing any light from the outside world from piercing through. Through the occasional crack, one could catch a glimpse of the misty clouds outside and the silhouettes of distant buildings.

In this space that boasted a luxuriousness akin to a private gallery, she and Lanci, who stood far from her, were locked in a remote stare.

"I am Sigrid, the Bishop of Hegemony."

It was Sikder who calmly voiced these words.

"..."

Despite Lanci’s expression remaining unchanged, his hesitation hinted that he seemed somewhat taken aback.

It was not because he was caught off guard by his first encounter with the Cardinal Bishop of the Rebirth Church.

Rather, he could not comprehend the logic of the woman before him.

A Cardinal Bishop infiltrating the Nirvana Branch as a mole?

It was truly unexpected that the Hegemony Church would resort to such tactics!

However, Lanchi was in no position to criticize the Hegemony Church, because he happened to be doing the same thing. Their operations collided and resulted in such a fortuitous situation.

"That’s the way it is within the Empire right now. In the territory of Protoss, wisdom is everything."

As if she could perceive Lanci’s confusion, Sigrid, the Bishop of Hegemony, spread her right hand out and said,

"Instead of recruiting talents openly and recklessly at the risk of a mole from the Nirvana Branch slipping in, why not personally go to the Nirvana Branch to scout out and snatch their most outstanding talents?"

She never stole what she wanted; she took it directly and boldly.

"So are you not planning to continue infiltrating the higher ranks of the Nirvana Branch to create further disruption?"

With a hint of perplexity, Lanci asked.

"It’s something that only a petty person would do, it’s not my style."

Upon thinking of the constant behaviour of the Nirvana Branch, Sigrid couldn’t help sneer.

With her objective reached, she no longer intended to use her identity as Sikder.

Lanci was taken aback upon hearing her words.

He had thought that the Bishop of Hegemony was playing a grand strategy.

Yet it seemed her motives were simpler than he had assumed.

She merely wanted to snatch away the outstanding talents that the Nirvana Branch had recruited.

Then directly hire Lanci as her personal subordinate.

Sigrid raised her hand, pointing at Lanci,

"You are impressive, I want you, come be my personal soldier."

"..."

This made Lanci somewhat troubled.

Back in Ichrite it seemed like nobody had such high expectations of him.

In contrast, he received the favour of a Cardinal Bishop upon his arrival in the Northern Continent.

Although the Bishop of Hegemony did indeed respect him greatly, her benefits were clearly two levels higher than what the Nirvana Branch offered, and even if he requested to observe the tablets, she probably wouldn’t cause him much trouble.

The problem was, he had no interest in observing the [Original Slabstone - Foundation], what he wanted to see was the [Original Slabstone-Sealing]!

And if he officially chose the side of the Bishop of Hegemony, becoming a personal soldier, he can then forget about continuing his operations within the Nirvana Branch.

"If I join, can I continue to infiltrate the Nirvana Branch?"

Lanci inquired.

"...You are calculating, wanting to take advantage of both sides, right?"

Sigrid gazed into Lanci’s jade green eyes, smiling as though she could read his inner thoughts.

"But isn’t it the most beneficial for you if I create havoc inside the Nirvana Branch?"

Lanci explained.

It seemed that the Bishop of Hegemony was heavy-handedly demanding control.

"I’ve already told you, I don’t like to do such things; my personal soldiers should be by my side, obeying my commands and working for me."

The Bishop of Hegemony, after hearing Lanci’s second question, seemed to lose her patience slightly,

"You’d probably die very easily if you go to the Nirvana Branch with ulterior motives. I’m sure a clever guy like you understands what kind of person the Bishop of Nirvana is. Compared to that, staying with me, as long as you’re loyal to me, not only will I not punish you, but I will also protect you with my power."

Lanci stared at Sigrid, Bishop of Hegemony, not afraid of the impending death that may soon befall him, but was calmly contemplating.

"Agree to it, meow... agree meow..."

"Does it matter which side you’re on... obviously, it’s better here, meow..."

The Cat boss, in Lanci’s arms, was trembling and murmuring in a low voice desperately.

At this point, it didn’t care anymore about whether Lanci joined the Rebirth Church or not, it feared that Lanci would disagree with the Bishop of Hegemony!

As soon as a negative response came from him, their fate would be sealed!
