Exorcist's Self-Cultivation

Chapter 241 240, At the church

11 PM late at night.

Du Wei and Jon's flight gently touched down at the St. Bodia airport.

When they had set off, it was just past three in the afternoon, it took them a full eight hours to reach the Church Headquarters.

...

The religious culture in St. Bodia was very intense.

In the last century, when the Church had not yet declined, St. Bodia was entirely led by the Church, all power belonged to the Church, and this place was a paradise for believers.

But as the Church weakened, leadership no longer belonged to the Church, yet no one else took the opportunity to entertain other ideas.

After all, for the decision-makers, the existence of the Church was very important.

As long as its development was controllable and stable, no one would fuss about it.

At this moment.

Outside the airport.

All unrelated individuals had already been evacuated, and the order at the scene was maintained by the Church's members.

Hundreds of clergy dressed in black attire stood waiting outside the airport with umbrellas, with vehicles parked everywhere, the atmosphere solemn and somber.

And in the waiting hall inside the airport.

Dozens of bishops stood still, among them Mrs. Senna, Bishop Thompson.

In front of them stood a dozen burly, stern-faced bodyguards.

The bodyguards were dressed in gray suits, bearing silver breastpins on their chests, carved with an ancient castle.

Clearly, it was the Wittebach family crest.

And behind the bodyguards, there was a table.

Alex looked indifferently at the old man sitting opposite her, who was smiling affably, feeling very impatient inside.

She really disliked dealing with people using her family's status, especially with those of high standing.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have lived alone in New York all the time.

The elderly man across from her took the initiative to speak, "Miss Alex, your father has already called me. I'm not sure how long you plan to stay in St. Bodia, so we can make arrangements to welcome you."

Although he was confident that even without Alex's help, he wouldn't have run into trouble, he never skimped on the gratitude he felt.

So, he spoke gently, "Thank you, darling."

He felt that after an incident like this, it would be unlikely for the church to have any conflicts with him again.

Unless the existence of Evil Spirit Du Wei was uncovered by the church.

But then, Archbishop Skadi and the others approached.

Du Wei thought for a moment and then gently tapped Alex on the shoulder, "People are watching..."

"They're such a nuisance..." Alex muttered and reluctantly let go, yet didn't release his hand.

And this scene, when witnessed by the others, took on a different meaning.

The women were okay, but the men regarded Du Wei with complex expressions. The Wittebach family was not just any small family, it was a large financial conglomerate with an ancient history.

What incredible luck it must have been to win over the daughter of the Wittebach family.

This was beyond being just a winner in life.

It was like living in a dream.

However, if they knew that Du Wei and Alex's relationship started because of the Antique Clock, it's likely that no one would envy them.

A cursed and mysterious Antique Clock, even for an Elite Exorcist, would be enough for a dozen deaths.

Even for a hunter, facing the unleashing of a curse, the probability of survival would be pitifully small.

Jon coughed slightly and walked up to Archbishop Skadi, showing respect with a bow.

Then, he turned to Du Wei and said, "This is Archbishop Skadi who is basically in charge of church internal affairs."

Du Wei nodded, "Hello, I'm the Exorcist Du Wei responsible for the Evil Spirit incident in New York. I'm very pleased to meet you."

Archbishop Skadi smiled kindly, "Hello, I have always been interested in you; I must say, you're one of the most outstanding young men I've ever met."

Du Wei smiled faintly, such words were good to hear, but not necessarily to be believed.

At that time, Archbishop Skadi hesitated for a moment and then said to Du Wei, "The church has some plans for your future. If it's convenient for you, I hope the two of us can have a chat."

"Oh, not now, of course. After all, you're with Miss Alex at the moment. How about tomorrow? Then I can also introduce you to your predecessors."

Du Wei nodded and said, "Of course, that would be fine."
