Chapter 91: Zod Cooper
Hearing Gavin's words, people looked at the warehouse owner one after another.
"I... I don't understand what you are talking about." Bolton lowered his head and adjusted his glasses; he was a middle-aged man who was slightly bald.
Gavin gritted his teeth.
Not long ago, inside the warehouse.
"Bolton, are you sure this thing can eliminate the poison gas in the Plague Zone?"
"Young Master Gavin, please rest assured; I got this from the tribe."
Gavin looked worried, looking at the meat block in his hand.
As an illegitimate son of the Cooper family, he had no right to inherit the family since birth.
Therefore, for a long time, Gavin had been living a boring and wealthy life.
He originally thought that he would spend the rest of his life like this.
But until one day, Gavin met Ophelia in the tavern.
She was a passionate and energetic girl.
From Ophelia, Gavin got something called "respect."
This was what he had always longed for.
Therefore, Gavin fell in love with Ophelia uncontrollably, even though she was the lady of the hostile force.
For this woman, he was willing to do anything, even the most important "hound" of the Cooper family.
But this matter was discovered.
Gavin was hung in the Cooper family's dog training room, a place full of blood.
After experiencing torture and threats to his mother's safety.
Gavin finally told the plan between him and Ophelia.
What he didn't expect was that the family didn't stop him and Miss Ophelia; instead, they let him continue this relationship.
But this was also the beginning of the nightmare.
Dates with ulterior motives, countless lies.
The relationship between the two became a tool for the Cooper family to deal with their mortal enemy.
Gavin wanted to give up, but he couldn't turn back.
Until one day, Ophelia found him and asked him to try to steal a Cooper hound from home.
At this point, Gavin finally realized that Miss Ophelia didn't really love him either.
He was disheartened and told the family about this without hesitation, trying to free himself from it.
But he regretted it after saying it; rational clarity was hard to defeat emotional attachment.
However, his brother Zod actually gave him a hound.
After experiencing so much, Gavin's mind had grown a lot.
He conducted a secret investigation and found that this hound was actually tainted with the aura of the Plague Zone.
If Ophelia used it to complete the experiment, she would definitely become like those monsters.
"Is this the purpose of the Cooper family..."
Gavin struggled repeatedly, but still decided to save Miss Ophelia.
For this, he found Bolton, who was the meat supplier for Cooper hounds.
After hearing Gavin's request, Bolton readily agreed.
So there was this warehouse accident.
Before the experiment, Gavin had already fed that meat block to the hound.
According to Bolton, the meat block was mixed with tribal herbs and spells, which could inhibit the spread of plague aura.
Gavin dared not disobey Brother Zod's order, but he didn't want to hurt Miss Ophelia either.
Therefore, he decided to tell her the truth after Ophelia completed the experiment, so that he could explain to both sides.
But what he didn't expect was.
When Ophelia released the hound during the experiment, the situation got out of control; the once familiar hound turned into a terrifying monster.
To save Ophelia, Gavin was swallowed by the monster, and when he woke up again, it was the current scene.
"The meat block you gave me came from the Plague Zone; you are in cahoots! It was you who raised the mon..."
Gavin was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"Bolton, how dare you do such a thing!"
A roar suddenly sounded in the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man with a cold temperament.
"Zod Cooper."
Someone recognized the identity of the comer.
Zod wore a knee-length leather trench coat; his back was straight, like a lead dog patrolling its territory.
As soon as his voice fell, two people walked out from behind him.
Then the warehouse owner received a heavy blow to his abdomen.
"Cough... ah."
Bolton opened his mouth in pain, and then felt a pill flicked into his mouth.
He widened his eyes instantly, but then found that he couldn't speak.
"Tie this guy up."
Zod gave the order, and then he looked aside again.
"And you beast, actually raising monsters with outsiders, and daring to steal from your own home!"
When he said the word "outsider," he deliberately glanced at Sadie, the meaning self-evident.
Sadie frowned; she had to stand up at this time.
"Mr. Zod, is it too early to make a conclusion so quickly?"
"Mr. Gavin seemed to have something else to say just now."
Zod snorted coldly upon hearing this: "How credible are the words of a guy who has become an evil spirit?"
"In that case, why did you tie up this gentleman?"
At this time, William spoke suddenly, pointing behind him.
"And it happened right after that guy finished speaking."
Zod frowned: "Who are you?"
"Just a passing priest."
Zod narrowed his eyes. Seeing no marks on this priest's clothes, he guessed the other party was not a core member of the Church.
"Outsiders are not qualified to interfere in the affairs of demon hunters."
He said in a tone that allowed no doubt, and then turned to an old man dressed traditionally beside him.
"Respected High Priest, to prevent the spread of poison gas, please expel this monster."
After speaking, Zod gave a look, and a member of the Cooper clan understood.
The latter immediately walked towards William, revealing the sharp blade at his waist.
"Planning to control the situation with brute force..." William rubbed his chin.
That Cooper clan member reached out to grab the former, but then looked shocked.
He saw his dagger appearing in the priest's hand at some point.
And the other party pointed to his waist.
The Cooper clan member looked down and found that his belt had been cut open, and then his pants slid down his thighs.
"Besides reciting the Bible, I also know some close combat skills."
William played with the dagger and said.
Zod frowned tightly; he only vaguely sensed this priest's movements but didn't see them clearly.
"Does the other party have an extraordinary background?"
"Oh, I haven't seen such pure Holy Power for a long time."
At this time, the High Priest suddenly ran to the warehouse and bowed to William with his hand on his chest.
"Thank you for stopping the spread of evil spirits."
William raised an eyebrow and nodded.
Sadie also came over at this time and whispered an explanation:
"The people of the tribe have fought against evil for hundreds of years; they do not depend on any forces."
"I see."
William understood in his heart, and he looked at Zod again.
"Now can we listen to Mr. Gavin finish his words?"
Zod's face darkened upon hearing this, staring at the priest opposite.
He was indeed unlucky this time; he didn't expect a priest of unknown origin to jump out halfway.
Now that even the High Priest stood on the other side, Zod understood that the previous plan had failed.
Seeing the leader of the Cooper family silent, William smiled slightly and turned to look at Gavin again.
Sadie looked at William with admiring eyes; she was glad she invited this priest this time.
Raph squeezed silently, trying to stand between the two.
Aside, the crowd whispered. The arrogance of the Cooper family had long dissatisfied everyone.
Seeing this heir suffer a loss, everyone secretly said it served him right.
"Please continue, Mr. Gavin; you don't have much time."
William pointed to the fusion monster; the latter's body was splitting.
Gavin looked surprised, not expecting that even Brother Zod couldn't do anything to this priest.
At the same time, he also felt his vitality draining constantly.
On his deathbed, Gavin decided to tell the truth; he couldn't let Miss Ophelia's family bear a bad name.
But in the next second, he froze on the spot.
He saw Zod take out a silk handkerchief from his clothes; this was a gift Gavin gave to his mother.
Gavin opened his mouth, and finally told another "fact."
In this version, Bolton was the villain raising monsters.
And Gavin, to win Ophelia's love, stole his own hound, intending to present it to Miss Ophelia.
That's right, he still returned innocence to the Allard family, although in the form of a lie. This was also his last resistance against the family.
As soon as this remark came out, the crowd immediately buzzed with discussion, and everyone stared angrily at the warehouse owner.
William narrowed his eyes.
Although the goal was achieved, he knew Gavin didn't tell the truth.
"Threat..." He looked back at Zod, but didn't know what the other party did.
"Miss Sadie, I have something to say to you."
At this time, Gavin spoke suddenly.
But William stopped Sadie. At this time, the exorcism ritual in the warehouse had not been completed, and entering would be dangerous.
Gavin seemed to realize this too, so he mouthed two words silently—Mother, Mental Resistance.
Then he signaled Zod with his eyes.
Sadie narrowed her eyes slightly. A moment later, she thought of something.
When she looked back again, Gavin had completely stopped breathing.
