Chapter 124: – The Lord Is With Us (45)

༺ The Lord Is With Us (45) ༻

When the Saintess entered the director’s office, Mr. Gilford’s sword was unsheathed with his back turned to her.

Resting atop a white cloth, the sword let off a cold glint as the man gazed down at it.

With eyes full of sorrow and regrets, he looked to be deep in thought as if he was recalling old memories.

He must’ve used that sword during his time as a mercenary

The Saintess thought to herself before opening her mouth.

“…Director Gilford.”

“Ah, Saintess.”

In response to her call, Mr. Gilford turned to face her, a kindly smile adorning his face as always.

The Saintess gazed at Gilford.

The color visible through the Spirit Eye was clear and pure, indicating that he, at the very least, wasn’t a bad person.

The Saintess was fundamentally distrusting of others. She knew fully well that beneath their seemingly kind exteriors, most people were selfish, arrogant, and calculating at heart.

Because she herself was like that.

However, she believed the colors shown through the Spirit Eye were somewhat reliable. Her spirit eyes were as developed as her holy power, allowing her to make a rough assessment of a person’s character.

And from what she saw, Gilford was one of the few genuinely virtuous people in the world.

That was precisely why she had come to him without any hesitation. She believed that Director Gilford was trustworthy.

Closing her eyes, she placed her hand over her heart and drew a cross as a benevolent voice left her mouth.
