Bishop Corey had his eyes closed as he lightly tapped his fingers on the tabletop, leaving the nearby attendant unable to guess what the archbishop was thinking.

No one knew how much time had passed, so much that the attendant almost fell asleep standing, when Bishop Corey suddenly spoke up, "So, was it Ulu who killed Kelsay?"
Startled from his daze, the attendant subconsciously raised his head and found Bishop Corey looking at him, their gazes meeting as he did.
In that moment, the attendant felt as if plunged into a cavern of ice.
There was an indescribable power in Bishop Corey's gaze. Just making eye contact seemed to amplify every negative emotion in his heart exponentially until he could hardly stand, stumbling almost to a fall.
