"Look into my eyes."

Charlie chanted, gazing at Ethan with his deep ocean-like eyes.

The next moment, Ethan felt a force crashing over him like a tide.

Instead of resisting, Ethan let go of his Spiritual Power, allowing the force to rush directly towards the depths of the 'True God's Name' and touch that tear.

Aphraela's Tear.

The next moment, Charlie seemed like an expert swimmer who suddenly cramped and drowned, retreating hastily from Ethan's gaze.

He leaned back on the chair, gasping loudly, looking as if he had truly suffocated in the ocean. After a while, he finally said, "Unimaginable, this guy's devotion to the Goddess seems to surpass even mine. What kind of Sea God aura was that..."

"Now do you believe it?" Ned asked with some dissatisfaction.

Primarily, in this period, he had been thoroughly impressed by Ethan's performance, fully considering Ethan as one of their own.

"Alright, I accept your viewpoint."

Charlie nodded.

"Find some time to explain it to him, formally welcome him as one of us."

He said as he rubbed his hands together, looking at the table full of dishes, and then continued.

"Let's eat something first, it's all good stuff I brought back from the deep sea."

The two of them ate for a while.

Charlie spoke again, "About that Divine Envoy, still no news at all?"

"Ever since the last incident, that Divine Envoy has disappeared, but it's certain that he is probably the rumored King of the Beihai."

"So, that crown is in his hands?" Charlie ate a whole shrimp and wiped his hands, "What a pity, if he would appear again, we could try to capture him. If we had that crown, the state of the Goddess might improve somewhat."

"The Goddess's state has worsened lately?"

"Yes, since last year, our contact with the Goddess has become somewhat weak, and this year it has nearly faded away. Fortunately, not long ago, a batch of ancient relics was discovered in the Storm Sea, barely stabilizing her condition."

Charlie couldn't help but sigh.

"But it's still not optimistic, especially since last year, they've consecutively implemented prohibition laws and new tax laws, that old thing obviously already..."

At this point, he stopped talking.

"You're planning to act against Oswaldo?"

"We must take action, it's reached the point where it's either him or us."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Not much, just..."

————————

The anniversary of Winster University is on the first day of May.

As the date approached, the festive atmosphere in Wenster became more intense again.

As the date neared, more and more people came to Wenster.

Apart from journalists, art collectors, enthusiasts, there were also many tourists, and those returning home.

Palon had returned.

He finally came back from the Old Continent.

And with him came some unexpected guests.

People from the Sun God Sect.

These people came to do business with the Bolita Clan.

That's right, although the Sun God Sect is an ancient religion, the older the religion, the larger it often is, with many related industries and dependents.

Thus, they surely had business needs.

This time, the Sun God Sect intended to engage in financial businesses, namely banking.

The origin is naturally Palon's construction of a branch of the Butan Plain Bank in the Fengcui Region. Doing this business definitely required establishing a good rapport with various local leaders.

Even though he relied on the Corleone Clan's connections and everything mostly went smoothly, there was no shortage of troubles.

Among the troubles was naturally the intervention of the Sun God Sect.

Feng Cui is one of the most important dioceses of the Sun God Sect, with their huge influence locally.

Initially, Palon encountered some resistance.

But he eventually gained experience in Wenster, deploying some skilled social maneuvers, including, but not limited to, forming some super-friendly relations with the local Countess.

As well as engaging in some enjoyable activities with priests.

With the addition of financial paths, he not only successfully expanded his business but also formed a partnership with the Sun God Sect.

The truth is, in recent years, the Sun God Sect has somewhat stalled in various business developments.

Because the development of the Old Continent has severely lagged, unable to keep up with the pace of the New Continent, and with the impact of various industries from the New Continent, many old continent businesses are on the brink.

This was also the initial cause of obstacles to Palon's business.

However, after understanding the power backing Palon, the Sun God Sect leaders in the Fengcui Region saw it as an opportunity.

Through the Bolita Clan's connections, they could bring the Sun God Sect bank to the New Continent.

To engage in investment and other commercial activities.

Thus, it was a mutual agreement, and they sent people to return with Palon.

"So, as I said, Palon is our hero."

Ethan stood up and began to applaud.

The remaining important members of the family also stood up and applauded.

The applause lasted for a long time.

Palon sat there, somewhat dazed, as if not long ago, he was a useless person who could do nothing, ignored by everyone, and even if someone did notice him, it was only because of his status.

He also thought he would spend his life like this, in a perpetual state of indulgence.

Until... Ethan reached out a hand to him.

He became completely different.

Recalling those absurd past events felt like they belonged to a lifetime ago.

"Palon, I am proud of you."

Ethan gave him a firm hug.

Palon felt a sting in his eyes; he almost couldn't hold back and was the first to raise a glass.

Soon after, everyone began to drink heartily.

"Actually, I think besides coming for investment, they have other motives too."

After Palon felt slightly tipsy, he spoke again.

"What motives?"

"Black-robed Bishop."

Upon hearing this, Ethan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Black-robed Bishop Casar.

The guy who had completely perished at sea.

The ship he was on had sunk forever into the depths of the endless ocean.

But of course, the Sun God Sect wouldn't forget this person, nor this incident.

Even after such a long time, someone has come?

"How are you sure?" Ethan rubbed his chin.

"Quite simple... just some details."

Palon said, among those who travelled back with him, apart from those doing business, were a few mysterious individuals who had never shown their faces, staying hidden in the cabin throughout, strictly forbidding anyone from entering.

Of course, most importantly, during a tipsy conversation, Palon managed to extract some information.

They came to find someone, a very important figure.
