Chapter 201 Dekan’s Telecom Fraud
Dekan had now become relatively proficient at using the Bishop’s Certificate.
However, he was still uncertain if he could activate Krey’s Bishop’s Certificate.
Nevertheless, it was still worth a try.
What if it worked?
Dekan channeled his magical power into the Frenzied Bishop’s Certificate as though it were his own.
To his surprise, the seal glowed brightly in response.
It meant it could be used!
Upon reflection, it made sense that the Rebirth Church would operate this way.
After all, followers could attain the rank of bishop by killing a bishop, so it wasn’t strange that a bishop could seize and use another bishop’s seal.
“So Krey’s really messed up big time.”
Dekan sighed.
Unintentionally, Krey had handed his Bishop’s Certificate over to the person who least should’ve gotten it!
“Krey’s brash nature probably means he doesn’t have great relationships with others. It’s time to help him improve his social standing.”
Having decided on his objective, Dekan began contacting other bishops using Krey’s Bishop’s Certificate.
First, he should probably reach out to his old friend, Shadow Bishop Minos.
“Are you there? Can I borrow some money?”
Dekan, posing as Krey, sent a private message to Minos.
He felt this would be the most fitting opening line, perfectly suited to Krey.
There was no response, as if Minos wasn’t around.
After waiting twenty minutes, a mark finally lit up on the Bishop’s Certificate, indicating that someone had replied.
Judging by the mark’s pattern, it was the symbol of a Shadow Bishop.
Dekan picked up the Bishop’s Certificate to check Minos’ message—
“How much did you lose this time?”
This was promising!
Dekan clenched his fist excitedly.
Evidently, this guy, Krey, had already borrowed money from Minos, the wealthiest among them.
And was quite the repeat offender!
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
In the bedroom of a certain mansion, a graceful figure, wrapped in a bath towel, looked at the seal on the table with a puzzled expression.
“Krey’s really weak at this game yet loves to play,” she lamented, shaking her head helplessly.
Soon after, she saw the message from the Frenzied Bishop come through on the Bishop’s Certificate—
“I lost a little.”
A little?
More like a billion little!
But to her knowledge,
though Krey was the rudest among all the bishops,
he was one of the few bishops who didn’t enjoy killing.
Maybe he would be useful in the future, so giving him some money wouldn’t hurt—just to buy his goodwill.
She responded:
“How much do you need?”
“10,000 coins should be okay!”
The reply came instantly.
“Go die!” Minos angrily threw the Bishop’s Certificate onto the bed.
10,000 coins! Dream on!
Afterward, she packed away her Bishop’s Certificate into her suitcase, leisurely dried her hair, turned off the light, and lay down.
She closed her eyes peacefully, preparing to conclude a pleasant day.
“Wait, did Krey just lose a huge amount of money this afternoon?”
Lying in bed, Minos opened her eyes again.
She stared at the ceiling, deep in thought.
Soon, she seemed to have considered a possibility, unconsciously parting her lips as if muttering something to herself.
“Impossible… Krey, you’ve really messed it up…”
…
After sending the request for a loan of 10,000 coins using Krey’s Bishop’s Certificate to Minos, no amount of harassment would get Minos to respond to Dekan.
“Hmm, was 10,000 coins too much?”
“Or, it’s more like I’ve underestimated the difficulty of acquiring money casually since when did I start feeling 10,000 coins could be asked for so easily?”
Dekan reflected on himself and said.
All thanks to Krey.
Who ruined Dekan’s sense of monetary values.
It gave Dekan a false impression that making money was easy.
Though Dekan felt that his blind guess and imitation of Krey’s habits earlier might have been surprisingly good.
So in that case, see if something could be gleaned from other bishops.
Based on Dekan’s understanding of Krey, both online and offline,
this guy talked big, no matter what!
So even if he were borrowing money, he should be audacious.
Thus, using Krey’s Bishop’s Certificate, Dekan sent the following message to each contact:
“Oi, 5000 coins from your daddy.”
Dekan now felt like he was Krey.
But after waiting for a long time, none of them replied.
Whether everyone was asleep, or they really all detested Krey.
“Still, Minos was the nicest. In the enormous Rebirth Church, she is the only one with a shred of warmth.”
After waiting a bit longer, someone finally replied.
Dekan looked at the pattern that lit up on the Bishop’s Certificate and recognized it as the emblem of the Illusory Bishop.
Dekan remembered that this person was the one who presided over meetings.
Likely, the overseer in charge when the pope was absent.
Dekan checked the new message, which read:
“What’s wrong with you now?”
“Again?”
Dekan was impressed. Krey was truly a social butterfly, borrowing money from everyone it seemed!
So Dekan replied:
“I’ve arrived in Randir Kingdom, but unfortunately, I’ve lost all my money. I need support.”
After sending the message,
there was a long pause from the Illusory Bishop before the response came again.
The Illusory Bishop replied with a big question mark [?].
Dekan also sent a question mark [?].
Illusory Bishop: “You’re in Randir Kingdom?”
“Huh?”
Dekan found Illusory Bishop’s reaction slightly odd.
Illusory Bishop had no clue?
Could it be that Krey wasn’t sent to Randir Kingdom by the Rebirth Church?
