The goddesses attempted to gain my salvation.

The puppeteer behind the male servant gave an annoyed snort.

So this is what you mean by spying, right?

If you ask me, you shouldn't try to find out anything. Just find a rich young master and have sex with him!

Just as the puppeteer was silently complaining, a huge food cart was pushed onto the stage in the very center.

Then, a kind-looking old man dressed in white came out.

He was the man from the Papacy that Raven had mentioned earlier.

The waiter squinted, sizing up the man.

Um......

Judging from their appearance, they must be high-ranking members of the Vatican.

It's surprising that ravens can be reliable; it's quite impressive.

Without saying anything more, the waiter put down his plate and quietly approached the kind old man.

"It is an honor to invite you all to this charity reception."

“I am the organizer, Reiner, and also a priest of the Holy See.”

"Next, on behalf of the Vatican, I would like to offer my blessings to all those present!"

The kind old man opened his arms wide, and the nobles below applauded.

Praise was endless.

It's just a bunch of useless flattery.

After exchanging a few more polite words, the kind old man placed one hand on the huge metal dome on the food cart.

"Then let us savor the finest ingredients, painstakingly obtained by the warriors of the Northern Region, and the delicious dishes prepared by our master chef."

May God bless us!

The nobles followed suit.

Then, amidst the praise of the crowd, the kind old man lifted the metal lid.

But.......

The next moment, the entire room fell silent.

The male servant's eyes widened, while the puppeteer behind the scenes was so startled by what was under the dome that he almost immediately severed the control magic.

The raven on one side also gaped open, unable to believe what it was seeing.

A chill ran down my spine.

My stomach churned, and I almost vomited on the spot.

Looking at the horrified expressions on the faces of the crowd below, the kind old man was puzzled. Was there a problem with the ingredients, or was the chef's dish too abstract?

The kind old man quickly looked down.

But this sight almost caused his already limited lifespan to be reduced to zero.

There was no dish made from deep-sea fish on the table.

Instead, there were two human heads, drenched in delicious broth...

A man and a woman, both no more than twenty years old.

The woman's expression was as if she had just had an orgasm; her pupils rolled upwards, and her mouth stretched all the way to her ears—a smile that was indescribably eerie!

The men, on the other hand, stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with pain and despair.

It wasn't until the first scream rang out that the raven and the puppeteer reacted.

It was that bastard Heart Eater who did it!

Damn!

I still ran into that bastard!

In an instant, the melodious music in the room was drowned out by screams.

The once-well-dressed nobles fled as if they had seen a ghost.

The kind old man even knelt on the ground, his pants getting wet.

"No...that's not how it is!"

"not like this!"

"Do not!!!"

Before he could finish shouting, he felt someone forcefully lift his collar.

"Old man, come with me!"

He is a male servant controlled by a puppeteer.

The raven on one side gave the puppeteer a look and then ran off.

Half an hour later, a large contingent of guards arrived at the manor, and the manor owner was taken away immediately. The food cart with the two human heads on it was also towed away.

The waiter ran a long distance before stopping, and casually threw the kind old man to the ground.

At this moment, the slightly disheveled raven also arrived.

"Oh shit!"

"How could the Heart Eater be here!"

The raven kicked the kind old man on the ground, who clutched his stomach in pain, curled up, and dared not speak.

"I do not know either!"

The puppeteer also looked puzzled: "Before setting off, I clearly did some scouting and specifically chose a different route from the Heart Eaters!"

"Could it be that......"

A bad thought popped into the puppeteer's mind.

Just then, faint footsteps came from the shadows in the corner.

He walked slowly and steadily, each step firmly landing on the ground.

The raven's eyes instantly turned cold, and the crow on its shoulder cawed loudly.

The waiter also had a cold expression, and a dagger appeared in his hand.

"Aren't we comrades...?"

"It's disheartening to see such hostility right from the start."

With a magnetic male voice, the Heart Eater, dressed in a neat suit, white gloves, and a top hat, emerged from the shadows like an old-fashioned gentleman.

The dress was perfectly ironed, and the leather shoes were shiny and bright.

but......

His white gloves were covered in blood.

There were still traces of blood on the corners of his mouth.

"Did you kill those two people?"

"I asked coldly," the raven replied.

The Heart Eater paused for a moment, then smiled calmly.

"What you're saying is a bit strange."

“As members of the Secret Order, each of us carries countless blood debts on our shoulders.”

"It's just two people killed, why make such a fuss?"

The Heart Eater's words were devoid of any emotion, as calm as if he were discussing yesterday's dinner or tomorrow's weather.

The waiter's eyelids twitched a few times, clearly suppressing his anger.

The raven's pupils began to turn pitch black, and the crow on its shoulder cawed a few times before turning into feathers and drifting away.

This time, the raven was truly determined to kill.

Seeing this, the Heart Eater quickly waved its hand: "Lady Raven, we are companions."

"The president has stipulated that private fights are forbidden among members of the Secret Order."

"If you make a move, you might get punished by the student council president!"

Raven suppressed his anger and spoke slowly and deliberately.

"The Heart Eater".

"This is my final warning to you."

"If I find out you're following us again..."

"I will kill you."

The heart-devourer could only manage a bitter smile.

"Don't say that. I'm just trying to help us complete the mission faster."

"Thanks to that couple, I was able to extract some valuable information."

The Heart Eater glanced at the kind old man on the ground, elegantly removed its blood-stained gloves, and casually tossed them aside.

"This old man is no longer a member of the Church of Basma."

"Not long ago, the High Priest of the Vatican carried out a major purge of the Vatican, and many of the Vatican's elders were expelled from the Vatican."

"And this old man is one of them."

"Right now, he's just an ordinary old man who only knows how to use the Vatican's reputation to swindle money. As for Ryan's whereabouts, he has no idea."

After listening, the raven glanced at the kind old man.

From his panicked eyes, Raven knew that the Heart Eater was right.

"Tsk."
