Chapter 88: Executing The Plan

-Arthur's POV-

Months of planning . . . Months! 

I've spent countless months in that church. I did everything I could to get in that little circle so I could finally get the Holy Item. 

I was currently in an abandoned building where no one could find me. After I got caught red-handed at the church, I had to flee in order to avoid getting captured. 

I was so close to that Holy Item. It was in my grasps!

I first heard of the Holy Item from one of my clients back in Gora. I was told that if I stole that Holy Item, I would be rich beyond my wildest dreams.

I took the offer and decided to haul ass and head over to the Yona City. After that, I posed as a priest and spent months working my way to earning the Oracle's trust.

Once I earned that woman's trust, I finally started my plan to steal that Holy Item. At first, I didn't know what to do. 

I thought up of every single plan to grab that treasure but nothing worked out like I wanted it to and I just threw them away. That's when I met Earl Stone. 

He knew about the Holy Item and he also wanted it. I knew that if I could use him, I could easily get the Holy Item without getting caught.

I planned out everything for that heist to successfully work. I told him the password and also told him everything about the Temple that I obtained.

Everything was playing out just as I planned . . . Until that bastard interfered!

He took out the thieves that were going to steal the Holy Item. Then, he stopped Stone from getting the Holy Item by force.

Not only that but he revealed about the person who leaked information. How he got it, I have no idea but I bet it had something to do with Stone. 

I don't know how but he's somehow responsible for revealing my true identity. Even when I worked out a perfectly executed plan, it still didn't play out as I thought it would.

Now, I'm being hunted down by the Order and the church. Not only that but that bastard is also hunting me down. 

I've got nowhere to go. Even if I try to run for it, I won't escape them. 

Since I won't be able to run away scot-free, I'll cause a big uproar on the final day of the Festival and escape then. With everyone panicking, they'll ignore me and try to calm the situation.

That's when I make a run for it and head back home. Sis will probably kill me for pulling such a stupid act but I don't care. 

Father will likely keep me locked up for doing this but I'm ready to deal with the consequences. Suddenly, four figures appeared in the shadows. 

"So, when are we going to crash the party again?" Ekog asked me. 

Ekog was your typical little girl. She had jet black hair and had caramel skin.

She looked no more than thirteen years old but she is, in fact, a couple hundred years old.

She's far older than me by two to three hundred years but considering my heritage, I was stronger than her. Unfortunately, due to a vast memory of her experience in fighting, Ekog always beats me despite my overwhelming power.

Even though she bests me in combat, she still follows me due to my lineage. 

"You should be patient, Ekog. Young Master said that we're going to attack the people at the Festival tomorrow. Just be patient." Thernak told her.
