There are already no people when he reaches the church gate, those deacons and orphans should have already evacuated far away from the church area. Grandpa Capricorn increases his speed and runs away, heading toward the direction where he can sense a lot of people grouping on there. The bombs inside the church created a huge chain explosions and the tremor can be felt many kilometers away from the west branch church area. Fortunately the explosion only destroyed the church area and the fire didn't expand to the other area around it.
Zeon feeling disappointed with himself for not being able to catch Bishop Haris. After the explosion destroyed the whole church, he felt relieved seeing it happened. He can see smoke rising high into the sky from the explosion.
'The orphans inside the west branch church should have better treatment after this incident. I'm really tired today. Training runic force in the morning, trying many artifacts with grandpa and immediately visiting every branch church in the afternoon, investigating the west branch church at night and finding this hidden darker side of this novel world. I want to sleep for the whole day after this.'
"Grandpa I don't think I can stay awake for a while longer. I will reimburse your money later and I'm very grateful for your help tonight."
"Haha.. Don't worry about the money, Zeon. It was just small stuff. I still have a lot more in my dimensional pocket. If you are really grateful, then promise me that you will be my granddaughter's friend someday when you meet her."
Zeon started to lose his consciousness and fainted on grandpa Capricorn's back. Grandpa Capricorn finally arrived at the place where Zeon's friend and the church member evacuated. He can also see the church patrol team scattered around the area to block the way around the church. Grandpa Capricorn gives Zeon who is already fainted on his back to Li and Toast.
"Old man, are you alright? Do you have any injuries? Should we call an ambulance for you and Zeon?"
"It's okay, Li. I'm fine, Zeon's the one who fights with the bishop, I'm only supporting him from the back. Zeon only has some scratch on his skin because he caught off guard when the bishop used his wind runic crest to attack him. Unfortunately we can't apprehend Bishop Haris and he's already fled from the area. Zeon was not injured too badly but he fainted right now from exhaustion so he won't wake up soon. I'll be leaving first, I still have my meeting after this. Take care of Zeon you two, we'll meet again someday."
Grandpa Capricorn walked away from the scene, no church personnel stopped him as they saw him saving someone and talking with the young deacon from the church. Deacon Bob who is still tending to the orphans who are shocked by the explosion noticing the old man went away, he wants to thank him for his help but decides not to because the old man leaves the area really fast. He feels that the old man still has another business to solve.
Many firefighters came to the scene of the explosion to extinguish the fire in the west branch church area. Li and Toast can see some reporters and journalists already arriving at the scene to do their work to record some materials for the news. Some random people also can be seen taking some photos or video, maybe they want to upload it on their social media. Dawn can be seen on the horizon while the flame that burns the west branch church started to go out.
Deacon Bob let the other deacon from the church to take care of the kids as he went in the direction of Li and his friends. He didn't forget that it's because these three kids discovered the plan of those criminals earlier that there are no casualties from the west branch church. It's really the west branch church luck that the old man from before and the three of the kids came to the west branch church last night. If they are not coming, Deacon Bob didn't dare to imagine what will happen to all the church members and orphans that live in the west branch church, maybe they are already in the embrace of the holy one at this time.
"Kids, I and the whole west branch church are very grateful for your life saving grace. If not for you, all of us would have been buried with the ruins of the church already."
"You should have already known right about now that I'm not only a kid, call me Deacon Li! The church's most talented youngest deacon. This weird kid is Toast and the one who fainted in my hand right now is someone really important, Zeon. If not for my brilliance and my friends coming to the rescue at the right moment, I can't imagine what will happen to all of you. We've come to the west branch church to complete the task given by the pope himself to check the expenditure reports of this branch church, but guess what we have found? Some foolish deacons and a corrupt bishop! If you think that's all then you must have been blind because there is something worse than them! I don't want to say further because there are many news reporters and journalists on the scene, but if you can't explain yourself right now, don't blame us if we will arrest all of you because of your negligence in carrying out church duties properly."
Li opened his communication device and started the video recording app to record what Deacon Bob will say next to make sure he has other evidence so he can report to the pope and explain it later to Zeon when he already wakes up. Some orphans seeing Li getting angry at Deacon Bob come to them and try to protect Deacon Bob behind them. Li already has some premonition after hearing what the bishop said previously, but he still needs Deacon Bob to say it himself.
"Brother, don't get angry at big brother, he's a kind person. He's different from uncle bishop. Don't arrest him, please.." A kid pleaded to Li not to arrest Deacon Bob even after all that already happened.
"It's alright kid, don't worry about me. I still have something to talk about with this brother. C'mon all of you should be a good kid and stay over there for big brother so I won't need to worry." Deacon Bob is trying to ask the kids to go back to their previous location. The kids looked at Deacon Bob's face which was worried about them, they nodded and went back to the safe location where the other orphans and deacons were staying.
"The first time we saw you, we thought that you guys are new orphans that want to live at the church. I and the other deacons didn't want you all kids to live at this branch church because of our circumstances, that's why we tried to chase you away. The first time Bishop Haris became a bishop two years ago, he didn't show any malicious deeds to any of us. But not long after that, he started to change for the worse, we thought that something happened to him but long after that we realized that the real him is the mean one and not the kind self which he showed the first time he got his status as a leader of this branch church. At that time, the bishop gave a lot of salary to us, we thought that the bishop was a rich person. Some of the young deacons are hurt while they are on the way doing the bishop errand, the bishop also helped them by paying their medical bill. Some deacons' families have a business problem and the bishop gives those deacons some loan to help their family business. Little we know, all of that becomes the bishop's handle to threaten those who have received the money given by the bishop. The misery started after that time. The bishop asked those who owe him money to help him by staying silent no matter what he's going to do next. The next thing we know the bishop accepted a lot of orphans in return our west branch church got a lot of funds from the cathedral and some kind benefactor also donated money to our branch church. At first we thought that the bishop had turned a new leaf and all our bad thoughts were gone. The next week, we understand what he means by ordering us to stay silent. That's what you guys should have seen happening until today. He corrupted the church funds, swindled those benefactor who donated money to the church, forbid us from taking care of the orphans properly, making fake expenditure reports, and threaten us further so we can't quit at all because when we stay silent at that time, we're already his accomplice and the church will not forgive us or our family. Those despicable deeds keep piling up day by day until we have enough of it. So I.." Deacon Bob gets emotional and almost slipped out.
