Hero? Are You Worthy?-Chapter 238 - 155 A Thank-You Gift for Asina (2)_2

The Prince had vanished from this world, leaving no trace behind.

This man, who had laughed the hardest when Qin Chu was executed during the first week, ended his own life amidst a despairing sorrow.

The duel had concluded in a brutal manner.

There was much work to be done for both Augustus Saint Monica and Wozworth.

Losses to the Church, Empire, and the Nobility.

Despite the numerous questions hidden in their hearts, it was not the time to discuss them, especially not in front of Qin Chu.

Qin Chu preferred the quiet. If anyone dared to ask about the sudden surge in his strength, or about the Goddess, he would have to invent lies.

Moreover, Qin Chu was also concerned about Karlin in the palace.

Upon parting, Qin Chu hurried back immediately.

Fortunately, due to its proximity to the Civilian District, the palace had suffered less damage. Antasia’s four guards had always been there and, when chaos suddenly erupted outside, without a word, they took Karlin to the basement to hide from the catastrophe.

After confirming that Karlin was unharmed, Qin Chu finally felt relieved.

When he calmed down, Qin Chu began to ponder. In his desperate attempt to connect his consciousness with the Goddess’s, she had left him a clue: "Witch."

What did that mean?

Was he supposed to collect all the Witches? There were too many, and Qin Chu worried his kidneys might not hold up.

Just kidding, the Goddess wouldn’t be so frivolous.

When he glanced at Violet beside him, Qin Chu had a thought... Maybe the true intention of the Goddess was for him to gather the Divine Authority possessed by the Witches?

However, according to Violet, most of the Witches had gone mad. It would not be easy to collect the Divine Authority from these insane Witches.

Furthermore, he didn’t even know where these Witches were. How could he find them? Due to their hostility toward the Church, most of the Witches were hidden very deep.

"I know the whereabouts of some Witches..." Shaye always appeared just when needed, draping her lazy form over Qin Chu’s back and resting her chin on top of his head, speaking in a voice full of charm and laziness.

A pair of snow-white arms rested on Qin Chu’s chest, gently swinging: "The closest one to us should be the Fiery Flame Witch!"

...

In the following week, Qin Chu stayed in the palace to recuperate, honestly. Wozworth and Augustus did not doubt this as Qin Chu had previously used special methods to forcefully elevate his own strength. If there were no repercussions, it would have been unbelievable.

Wozworth was busy dealing with the deaths of a large number of nobles, trying to quell the anger of the Noble Class.

Saint Monica and Augustus were managing the damage to the Temples and the deaths of the clergy. During the descent of the Evil God, both Temples had also suffered significant losses.

Zimmerman returned to Wise Mountain, taking out all the ancient texts collected to try and identify the true identity of the Evil God.

As for the owner of the Duel Arena, he filed for bankruptcy.

The entire Arena had been destroyed, and it would be faster to rebuild from scratch than to repair it. Most importantly, with the deaths of many nobles within the Arena being instigated by the Prince—who had been executed by Wozworth personally—very few dared to trouble the Emperor. The majority of the nobles could only vent their frustration on the Duel Arena owner. The compensation alone was a substantial figure.

As for Qin Chu’s bet of one billion Mana, naturally, it was impossible to pay out at thirty to one odds—the owner simply didn’t have that much money. However, the owner didn’t dare to default on the Hero’s bet. Liquidating everything, he squeezed out the last drop of liquidity to give Qin Chu seven billion. Qin Chu’s wealth had reached ten billion Mana, making him quite a tycoon on the Sky Dome Continent.

Of course, money was just a number to Qin Chu. He didn’t care about it, really.

The training ground of the palace had been occupied by Angelica and Antasia. Since the duel between Qin Chu and the Prince, both girls had acutely felt their own weaknesses and desired greater strength.

They wanted to stay by Qin Chu’s side as a reliable arm, not just survive under his protection.

Angelica was learning Magic under Violet’s tutelage, and Antasia had intended to learn Magic from the Storm Witch as well, but Antia had forcefully dragged her away to learn Martial Arts and Fighting Energy, claiming that women of the Meisfield family had considerable talent in both Magic and Fighting Energy.

As for Qin Chu, he lay on the couch, studying information about the Fiery Flame Witch.

The information about the Fiery Flame Witch was relatively more abundant.

It was said that her domain was located on the boundaries between human territory and Demon Territory, on a continuous mountain range almost entirely under her control.

Like the other Witches, she seldom appeared before humans or other demons.

However, that mountain was a very famous mine in the Sky Dome Continent, rich in high-quality copper ore, crucial for the Oville Empire. The Empire’s army once joined forces with the Holy Court and the Earth Mother Goddess Sect, assembling an army of over thirty thousand men. Under the leadership of a Martial God, a Great Sage, and a Thief Saint, they united to subjugate the Fiery Flame Witch.
