Chapter 3040
Inside the main hall of a temple on Rostrie Hill, Paisley and her daughter were kneeling on the prayer mats, praying earnestly to the deity statue with their eyes closed.
It turned out that Paisley was a devout believer. Not only did she believe in the religion, but she would worship at every temple.
Upon hearing that the temple on Rostrie Hill was effective, she had been visiting this place frequently.
She would visit this temple on every first and fifteenth day of the month to pray for her dead husband.
At that moment, she did not know that a slender priest in his sixties was standing at the side and watching her lecherously.
He was none other than Nigel's mentor, Wrigley.
Wrigley was looking at Paisley's back lustfully.
Suddenly, Maisy, who was beside Paisley, fell to the ground and passed out.
"Maisy?" Paisley exclaimed and tried to support her daughter.
However, everything around her seemed to spin when she stood up, and she fainted as well.
Wrigley's lips curved into a smug grin. "Haha! I haven't been able to succeed the last few times. However, you drank my tea today. You can't escape from me this time!"
Right then, a few boorish men appeared. A man with a mustache laughed gleefully. "Master, we finally get to drug this beautiful woman. You finally got what you want."
Wrigley smirked. "Don't worry. I'll let you guys have your share after I have mine. Carry her to my room."
"Got it!"
They laughed evilly. Just as they were about to carry Paisley, urgent footsteps sounded from outside. Hadley had brought along a few police officers and stormed into the temple with a stern expression.
Wrigley and the others were stunned by the scene.
Wrigley asked, "Why are you here, Mr. Lyons?"
Hadley saw the woman and child on the floor, then glanced at Wrigley and the others, who seemed frightened. It was apparent something was off. Hadley replied coldly, "Wrigley, your disciple has been arrested for scamming others. I'm here today to arrest you. What's going on with this woman and child on the floor?"
Beads of sweat began to form on Wrigley's forehead. "Uh..."
Hadley snorted. "You're stammering. It's obvious there's something wrong. Arrest them all."
"Yes, Sir!"
Ten police officers immediately charged forward to arrest Wrigley and the others.
Wrigley's and the others' faces turned pale. There was only one thought in their minds. It's over for us.
However, at that moment, a loud boom sounded from outside. The door, which was initially closed, had been kicked open by someone.
The giant doors crashed to the ground, causing dirt and dust to fill the air.
The loud commotion stunned everyone in the main hall.
They glanced at the door with horror written on their faces.
They saw a middle-aged foreign man wearing a black coat entering the main hall with a few subordinates.
This tall, middle-aged man had blond hair and blue eyes. He looked regal and handsome, but he was too pale.
The subordinates behind him were

characteristic. They were all as pale as a sheet.
It was strange for these foreign men to appear here.
What was stranger was that there seemed to be white smoke coming out from where the sunlight was shining on them.
They all looked slightly uncomfortable and seemed to be in pain as if they were afraid of sunlight.
Hadley frowned and took out the gun on his waist. "We are the local police officers here. Who are you, and what are you guys doing here?"
The tall, handsome middle-aged man did not even cast a glance at Hadley and the others.
He strolled to the center of the hall
and his gaze fell on Maisy, who was still unconscious. He narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "Is this
Nathan's goddaughter, Maisy?"
As it turned out, this foreign man was none other than Vince, the vampire duke in charge of Newcove.
When he found out Nathan had killed Niels, he was infuriated.
He led the strongest vampires of Newcove and traveled across the world to find Nathan for revenge.
When he arrived in Eurasia, he found
out that Nathan was severely wounded and was resting. He also discovered that Nathan would be traveling to the West to visit his goddaughter, Maisy.
As such, Vince decided to find Maisy first and then kill Nathan in an ambush.
With Maisy as a hostage, it would be easy to deal with Nathan.
