Chapter 340:198 Salary paid, God works to waste_2

Previously in the Alliance, Dean McKenzie was constantly running and didn’t have the opportunity to enjoy any delicacies. After he arrived in South Barbarian, he finally found a place to settle down. However, he found the local cuisine not to his liking.

So, Dean McKenzie was exceptionally happy with the current meal.

“South Barbarian, huh? No wonder you don’t know about Anthony’s situation!”

“What happened to Anthony?”

The moment Donald Morgan mentioned Anthony, Dean McKenzie abruptly stopped eating and turned to look at Donald Morgan.

Donald Morgan felt an enormous pressure under his stare.

Although he didn’t know what Dean McKenzie had gone through in the last half year, he was certain that Dean McKenzie had undergone a profound transformation, becoming incredibly strong.

Both Anthony and their organization were in dire need of talents like Dean McKenzie.

So, Donald promptly explained Anthony’s current situation to Dean McKenzie without beating about the bush.

In short, Anthony had suddenly requested to be transferred to Thorn Oak City about six months ago.

And almost immediately upon arrival in Thorn Oak City, Anthony was appointed as the deputy director of the Thorn Oak branch.

“Ever since that moment, Anthony has been at the mercy of Bruce Hodge.

Bruce Hodge could have done whatever he wanted with Anthony, but he chose to hold him in suspense, occasionally leaking hints that he might let Anthony off to bait him. You heard the rumor this time, it seems that he is trying to bait you!”

“Bait me?”

Dean McKenzie smiled and resumed eating: “What’s Bruce Hodge’s Strength level? Seven-turn? Eight-turn? Or Ninth-turn?”

Donald Morgan was taken aback by Dean McKenzie’s casual questions about Bruce Hodge’s strength level.

Though questioning about a Seven-turn, Eight-turn, or Ninth-turn?

“I think he’s a Six-turn?”

“Six-turn?” Dean McKenzie was startled at once. He stopped picking food, “He’s in charge of Atlanta, right?

As a high-ranking official, how could his strength only be Six-turn?”

“Position and Strength aren’t necessarily related. According to our known information, except for a few, all the branch directors are Six-turns!”

After hearing this, Dean McKenzie couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle at his own sense of nervousness during this period.

He had been overly nervous.

But this laugh left Donald Morgan bewildered as he watched Dean McKenzie, unsure about what he was laughing at.

“Why are you staring? Keep eating!”

“Just because his power is only a Six-turn, don’t underestimate him – the biggest advantage they have is not their own power, but the power they can mobilize with their positions.

The power of the Alliance is far greater than you could imagine.

Although Bruce Hodge is only Six-turn, it’s hard to tell who you will face if you storm in.”

“Like an eighth-turn?”

“Um…”

Donald Morgan was once again stunned and felt a hint of exhaustion; he was unable to continue this topic.

He was baffled by Dean McKenzie’s concerns about running into a Seven-turn or Eight-turn. An Eight-turn? What kind of power level does an Eight-turn possess? Regardless of whether in the Alliance or in the Abyss, an Eight-turn would be considered top-tier firepower. Such a high-level Strength couldn’t possibly be within Bruce Hodge’s control.

“It seems there are no Eight-turns, then don’t get stunned. Keep eating!”

As long as there weren’t any Eight-turns, Dean McKenzie didn’t perceive this as a major issue.

Afterwards, Dean McKenzie took the opportunity to have Donald Morgan catch him up on the current state of the Alliance.

Through Donald Morgan, Dean McKenzie gained a clear understanding of the power structures in the Alliance.

At present, the most powerful force in the Alliance is naturally the Alliance itself. Underneath the Alliance is an array of churches worshiping the various Abyssal Gods. Their Bloody God Church, for example, is a sect that worships the Bloody God.

Among all the churches, they are considered third-tier. Even their Pope only possesses a Seven-turn Strength level.

Among these churches, the three most successful ones are the [Fear], [Despair] and [Nightmare] Churches. Legend has it that there are Ninth-turn powerhouses in these three churches.

After learning about these churches, Dean McKenzie had a question.

“What about the Church of Holy Light?”

Dean McKenzie didn’t hear this church mentioned in Donald Morgan’s explanation but based on what he had encountered in the instances of the [Dragon Palace Ruins] and the [Goblin Uprising], the Church of Holy Light seemed to be a formidable sect.

So why hadn’t Donald Morgan mentioned this church?

When Dean McKenzie asked this question, Donald Morgan looked up at him: “I had already mentioned it!”

“When did you ever say it?”

“I mentioned it right at the beginning!”

“At the beginning you…mentioned the Alliance…”

Dean McKenzie’s words trailed off as he narrowed his eyes: “Are you saying…the Alliance is the Church of Holy Light?”

“According to the information we currently have, there are numerous links between the Alliance and the Church of Holy Light!”

Donald Morgan’s brief words sent a shockwave through Dean McKenzie.

However, Donald Morgan felt it was not enough and continued: “Do you know Anthony’s other identity?”

“Anthony’s another identity? What other identity does he have?”

“He was originally an aspirant for the Holy Son in the Alliance’s Church of Holy Light!”

“Anthony? Holy Son?”

This information came as quite a shock, and Dean McKenzie was taken aback.

“Yes, he was more than twenty years ago!

I got this information from Anthony himself.

In fact, although the Alliance is the Church of Holy Light, there is not a complete unity between the Alliance and the Church of Holy Light.

Initially, the Alliance embraced the Church of Holy Light because during the drastic changes in the world, the Alliance’s foundation was too weak to protect this land amidst the chaos..
