Jin Cheng paced back and forth in the dimly lit basement, his face filled with a look of utter frustration.
"It's chaos, the whole city is in chaos."
"Those brainless congregants are all spreading stories about 'strange omens', no matter how we try to suppress it, we can't hold it down anymore."
"Zhang Tao has rebelled... how could he rebel!"
"He was once one of the most loyal commanders of the Guard Brigade, even had a chance to be promoted to bishop!"
"But now, he's actually leaned towards the Huaxia Army..."
"He actually dared to refuse my decree!"
"He actually dared to leverage the power of the Huaxia Army to refuse my decree!"
"This is unforgivable, this is absolutely unforgivable..."
Seeing Jin Cheng's expression nearing frenzy, the Black-clothed Archbishop hurriedly stepped forward, pulling him over to sit down by a chair before soothingly saying:
"Perhaps, Zhang Tao is not betraying."
