Chapter 105: The Irritable Fiancé

On the street, the three walked side by side. Ada thoughtfully walked ahead, not disturbing the three.

Jack said with a relieved expression, "We finally found you. We've been to your house several times these past few days, trying to seek your help, but there was never anyone home."

Silas explained with a hint of apology, "Sorry, I've been staying at the Church of Holy Blood recently and rarely go home. Ada is also staying at the convent. I forgot to tell you."

"Staying at the Church of Holy Blood? How enviable!" Jack said with an envious look, then got to the point. "Since we met today, please help Roland, Silas."

Saying this, Jack leaned closer and said in a low voice, "Her fiancé's situation is very strange right now."

Silas turned to look at the haggard Roland and asked, "Your fiancé's situation has been going on for some time, hasn't it?"

Roland looked startled. "How did you know?"

"Your spirit has been somewhat dazed for over half a month. Anyone slightly observant would have noticed," Silas said casually.

Jack was taken aback upon hearing this and scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, because he hadn't noticed.

Silas asked calmly, "Tell me about the situation."

Roland clutched the hem of her clothes and said in a low voice, "My fiancé's matter started about a month ago. Because he's usually busy with work, we don't meet often. That day, after dinner, when we were discussing our marriage, he suddenly postponed our wedding date, saying he had something very important to do and had no time for now. I wasn't very happy at the time and had a fight with him."

Silas nodded, signaling her to continue.

"Because of the fight, we met less often for the following week. After I calmed down and thought about it, I realized I was somewhat in the wrong at the time, so I went to his clinic to find him, but…"

Speaking of this, Roland couldn't help but clench her fists.

Silas didn't speak, waiting for her to continue.

Roland was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and said, "At that time, I saw him licking the skin of a female corpse."

Jack seemed to already know and didn't show much surprise.

Silas's expression remained calm as he asked, "And then?"

After many days of high-intensity study, Silas had completely entered this mysterious world through books. His entire perspective, mentality, and tolerance were no longer what they used to be.

When you have the confidence to master everything, you will have the calmness to face things without alarm.

Silas was like this now.

He had already seen hundreds of such mystical cases in books and had simulated them realistically many times through divine thought.

Seeing Silas's calm and composed appearance, Jack sighed inwardly, "Truly worthy of someone who has entered the Church of Holy Blood. Even if the time hasn't been long, his inner world is already on a different level from ours."

Roland continued, "I was very scared at the time. I secretly ran away before he discovered me."

"He found me that night and calmly explained the reason for postponing the wedding. He looked very ordinary at the time, nothing special. I believed I had seen wrongly, and it passed just like that."

"Afterward, our relationship returned to normal, but I always felt that he was quietly changing. Although his conversation was still the same as before, I often inadvertently found a faint, sinister smile on his lips."

"And then…" Speaking of this, Roland's body trembled slightly.

Jack patted his good friend's shoulder and continued, "Then, ten days ago, after a dinner, he wanted to have relations with Roland. After Roland refused, he suddenly became furious, not only hitting Roland but also preparing to rape her. Fortunately, Roland's physical condition was good, and she escaped in time."

"The next day, he came running over, crying, hugged Roland's legs, and begged for her forgiveness. He said a lot of nice things to appease Roland. But five days ago, he almost raped her again. This time, he didn't apologize but became more and more irritable, even threatening Roland and her parents."

Silas frowned slightly upon hearing this. "This matter requires police intervention, doesn't it?"

Jack sighed. "Her fiancé, Markok, is a nobleman. His family is one of the four founding families that originally developed Bayne City. Because they have special privileges, they can prevent the police from managing matters within their family. Roland belongs to the Bowman family, one of the four major families. Although she is from a collateral branch, it is still an internal matter of the four major families, and we have no right to interfere."

"Moreover, Roland's parents… are rather… rather eager. They believe Roland should obey Markok, as this is beneficial to their marriage contract, and they actually side with Markok on this matter."

Hearing this, Silas nodded with understanding.

Although the Belland Empire was a country ruled by law, some ancient families with special status did indeed possess many special privileges. Such privileges were common throughout the empire.

"Has Markok's problem been reported to the Church?" Silas asked.

Roland shook her head and didn't speak.

Jack continued to explain, "This kind of family scandal is a major taboo for all large families. Roland is, after all, within the system. So, we wanted to ask you, as a good friend, to help us see what exactly is wrong with Markok, why he suddenly became so irritable, and whether he has been influenced by some mystical thing."

Silas thought to himself after hearing this, "This should be a minor incident caused by some mystical influence. The threat should not be great. It just so happens that I have made some achievements in my studies. It's a good choice to use this matter to practice."

Thinking of this, Silas nodded. "No problem. However, I need to prepare a bit. Also, you need to guide him to a relatively quiet place. From the current symptoms, it can be simply judged that he seems to be possessed by something or his spirit has been influenced by something. At that time, if an exorcism ritual is performed, it may cause a lot of commotion."

Hearing this, the two immediately felt relieved. Roland visibly relaxed and looked relieved, saying gratefully, "Thank you, Silas."

Silas smiled and waved his hand. "It's alright, don't think too much. Prepare early and set a time. I happen to be free these few days."

"Okay!" The two immediately looked as if they had found their mainstay, their spirits completely renewed.

Silas looked up at the front. "Let's go! Let's go see the celebration! This is a grand festival that only happens once a year. If we miss it, we'll have to wait until next year."

After resolving the worry in her heart, Roland immediately cheered up. Although her face was haggard, her spirit was completely different.

The three quickly caught up with Ada, who was ahead.

Ada took Silas's hand. "Let's go! I can already hear the sound of musical instruments from the square. I heard that this year there is a dancer from the capital performing a tour, called Elisa the Angel. She's very famous."

"A celebrity?" Silas immediately became interested.

He was very curious about the celebrities of this other world.
