Lei Zhen was chuckling at his naivety to fall for such low-level deceptive words of Albert Freedman.

From the get-go, he was never assigned by Robert Knightman, but by the Holy Church.

How did he find out?

It was because Albert Freedman had mentioned Robert Knightman being tasked by a goddess, a detail that should have been unknown to others.

According to Kate's words, she had mentioned only her father, Robert, and some from the Holy Church knew about the purpose of the Ferold's Ring.

Therefore, even if Albert was assigned by Robert, he should not be able to know about this news, unless he was a spy from the Holy Church.

'Fool me once, but don't think you can fool me twice…' Lei Zhen's eyes turned ice-cold before taking a few seconds to return to his calm composure.

Being tricked and deceived was akin to betrayal, something that Lei Zhen absolutely despised. This was a trait similar to Chris, who hated betrayal more than anything, and the reason why they got along well.
