Matthew's sudden shout made Ande jump, his eyes widening as he stared at the Priest.
Fang Zhen's hand instinctively went to the sheath of his Nepalese Curved Saber.
'He was genuinely afraid the Priest would suddenly erupt and unleash a Holy Light Technique or something.'
'But then he realized, if Father Matthew really had that kind of power, he wouldn't have ended up getting kidnapped by Rex.'
Matthew seemed to come to his senses at that moment. Seeing Fang Zhen and Ande staring at him, he realized he had acted inappropriately.
"Er, my apologies. The education I received from the church makes it impossible for me to tolerate even a shred of evil. This letter, written in a heretical script, coupled with the matter of colluding with unnatural creatures—those filthy, evil Kobolds—infuriated me. I lost my composure. Please forgive me for being so overcome."
Matthew's voice dropped. He gave an apologetic bow to Fang Zhen and Ande.
Fang Zhen raised an eyebrow.
