Exorcist's Self-Cultivation-Chapter 692 - 689 Matthews mentality completely collapsed

Chapter 692: 689, Matthew’s mentality completely collapsed. Chapter 692: 689, Matthew’s mentality completely collapsed. The welcome ceremony in New York was very enthusiastic.

At the very least, Tom and Father Tony were extremely enthusiastic.

During the meal, even Du Wei drank a few glasses of red wine, which was quite rare for him.

However, he didn’t stay for long because he had to go home, or else he would always worry about Rahmer’s Bell.

Tom, Father Tony, and Ryan, on the other hand, got along really well.

So when Du Wei left, he didn’t take Ryan with him.

He instructed Tom, “Take care of Ryan and don’t take him anywhere he shouldn’t go.”

...

Tom, who hadn’t gotten drunk yet, patted his chest and promised, “Leave Ryan to me, and you can be completely at ease, he’ll stay with us at the church tonight, and you can pick him up tomorrow.”

Since Tom had made such a guarantee, Du Wei naturally didn’t say more.

He gave Ryan a few more instructions and then left the restaurant first.

What happened next occurred after they had drunk too much.

The strength of a man’s friendship is tested in three ways.

Drinking, smoking, and visiting brothels together.

With a drink in hand and a cigarette dangling, his face flushed with excitement, Ryan bragged, “I’m Ryan, the best in the world, fucking awesome!!”

Tom said disdainfully, “Your awesomeness isn’t real awesomeness. A real man has to be like me and Father Tony—that’s true badassery!”

Following that, Father Tony added, “That’s right! Ryan, the joy of being a man, you definitely can’t compare to us. Do you know what Tom and I are really about?”

Completely sloshed, Ryan asked, “You guys… you could have more badass status than me? I was a man who has been emperor.”

Tom chuckled and, draping an arm over Ryan’s shoulder, said, “What’s the point of being emperor? Being a man is the happiest. Father Tony and I are known as the War Gods of the Red Light District, do you understand what that means?”

Father Tony revealed a smug smile.

Ryan shook his head and muttered, “War Gods of the Red Light District? Sounds like it might actually be pretty badass, but what exactly is the Red Light District?”

A sly smile curled at the corner of Tom’s mouth, “The Red Light District is a man’s paradise, our refueling station, where a real man can experience the ultimate pleasure of the human world. As long as you have money and power, you can have any woman you want.”

Upon hearing this, Ryan blurted out, “Ah! There’s such a wonderful place?”

Tom, chuckling, said, “You can tell you haven’t seen the world, still calling yourself a noble when you haven’t even been to the Red Light District. But don’t worry, brother Tom is in a good mood today, I’ll take you to experience the warmth of the masses in New York.”

Ryan hesitated, “But the director said not to go to such places.”

Tom took a drag on his cigarette with contempt, blew a smoke ring, and said, “Him? His words don’t carry weight. He’s as indifferent as they come, abandoned me and Father Tony as soon as he got a girlfriend.”

“Back in the day, our War God Combo in the Red Light District always had a spot for him, but he never joined in any of the fun.”

“Now that you, Ryan, have arrived, I declare! Our War God Combo in the Red Light District has gained a new general. From now on, Ryan, you are one of us, a War God of the Red Light District. In this part of New York, you can go to any Red Light District and use my name to get your fun for free.”

Ryan was shocked, “Free fun, as well?”

Father Tony, putting down his wine glass and getting ready to gather his spirits, knew that when Tom brought up the Red Light District, their night would be sleepless.

Tom grunted and said to Father Tony, “Explain to Ryan and let him know how many tricks our War God Combo in the Red Light District has got.”

Immediately, Father Tony turned to Ryan with a smile, “Mr. Ryan, what you don’t know is that freeloading in the Red Light District definitely won’t fly, but Tom is the chief of police in New York. If you name-drop him for a free ride and those people don’t agree, there will be a police raid against vice the next day.”

“Those people in the Red Light District have to give face to Tom, that’s the new strategy we came up with recently.”

“Ever since Du Wei and you weren’t here, we’ve had such a blast, and now the entire Red Light District in New York knows about our War God Combo.”

Truth be told, Ryan was truly tempted.

He felt that the War God Combo of the Red Light District was extremely badass, much more interesting than being a noble before, and the title of War God sounded much classier than baron.

Moreover, he had not forgotten about the harem that had disappeared.

After pondering for a while, he thought: I’m the emperor, my harem must have been all women, and the Red Light District is also all women, so isn’t the Red Light District practically my harem?

With that thought.

Ryan decisively said, “Good! I’ve decided to join you guys. I don’t want to be a noble anymore, I want to be a War God of the Red Light District.”

Tom slammed the table and excitedly said, “Great! From now on, you’re the star of our group, and today is the day our trio makes a comeback.”

“Come on, dinner is on me!”

…

Tom and his companions were probably going to have a lot of fun that night.

But on the other side, far away in Europe, another person related to Ryan was not happy at all.

That person was Matthew.

Right now.

Dressed in a long coat with a hood that concealed his gray hair and wrinkled face, Matthew walked under the cover of night to a bank and stood in front of an ATM.

Hunters are human too, and they need to eat, drink, and take care of their needs.

Matthew, although no longer human, was that way when the other him, the middle-aged him, still had some connection to him.

His power was diminishing.

All the characteristics of a humanoid were starting to show in him.

Yes…

This former hunter, who had lived for two hundred years and had built the Dusk Bell Church with his own hands, only to see it destroyed by Ryan, had gone hungry for an entire day.

He was penniless, with only a few bank cards in his possession.

“Ryan, you just wait, I will make you pay,” he murmured.

Matthew opened his robe, and inside was a thick book, the very Black Leather Book that was previously in the stone chamber, signed when the Duke was born.

He pulled out a gold-embossed bank card from the inner lining of his coat.

It was made many years ago by Tiquel.

Thinking of Tiquel, Matthew couldn’t help but sigh, “If Tiquel were here, he could have taken care of this trivial matter.”

After reminiscing, Matthew awkwardly inserted the bank card into the ATM, and after fumbling for a long time, he finally found the balance withdrawal function.

However…

Staring at the zero on the screen, Matthew was completely dumbfounded.

“What’s going on? Where’s my money?”

“I’ve been saving for two hundred years, for goodness’ sake!”

“Fuck! You! Where is my money?!”

He had been counting on a comeback, to rebuild the Dusk Bell Church, and now his money was gone?

“Maybe this card is just empty, my other cards must still have some money,” Matthew told himself as he hurriedly took out all his other cards and inserted them into the ATM one after the other.

However.

A uniform zero balance.

Matthew completely lost his composure: “Can somebody tell me where all my money has gone?”

Just then, Matthew’s phone rang.

He fumbled for a bit, took an old-fashioned push-button phone out of his pocket, and pressed the answer button, and an irate man’s voice came through, “You’re the person in charge of Dusk Bell Church, right? Your church borrowed seven or eight hundred million from our bank. Don’t even think about running away, I’m telling you, I’ve checked, and Dusk Bell has borrowed a large sum of money across many lending platforms.”

“The whole debt is on your head, and if you try to flee, we’ll issue a global arrest warrant for you.”

“Pay up quickly!”

Matthew’s face darkened with rage, and he crushed the phone in his hand.

“Ahhhh! Who the hell did this! Ahhhh! I will kill them!”
