Watching the action of Minos' group unfold, the Spiritual Saint chasing them stopped for a moment as he pondered the matter.
'What do I do now?' He wondered, uncertain between acting and doing nothing about the matter.
Abe's orders were quite clear.
Kill the enemy if they demonstrated they were in search of something related to him, to his crime.
However, this Spiritual Saint could not help but hesitate at this moment because of the consequences of such an action.
'If I get involved with a conflict with them and eliminate them, there is a risk that the family's position will get even worse and suspicions against us will increase to the point that we will have no escape.' So he looked at one side of that situation.
'And even if no one finds out anything, I don't know if it's worth the risk of attracting a missing people investigation to our city just because of a Spiritual Emperor who doesn't know anything...'
The man chased by Minos' group did not know about the crimes of Abe and the Spiritual Saints involved in the Black Plain plots. Moreover, since they knew what was happening there, it would be easy for the Crown Prince's team to isolate such a person and prevent the enemy's plans.
So, this Spiritual Saint could not help but consider the other alternative!

'On the other hand, letting these people leave after acting against us and allowing this Spiritual Emperor to go back to work also has its dangers.' He clenched his fists. 'They may somehow compromise the security of the royal palace and eventually increase their suspicions if they realize that 'their' man has accomplished nothing.'
'Having people with suspicions of us alive could become a problem. After all, an investigation may lead to nothing, but a focused enemy with suspicion will always be a potential danger!'
Having a powerful enemy like the Spiritual Church with suspicions against you was like having a woman suspicious of her husband's betrayal. She would test her man continuously, and as time passed, instead of losing her suspicions, she would become more shrewd, and the chances of him exposing his secrets would increase!
Since the people in Minos' group were talented, with one of them already being close to the 8th stage, this man could not help but imagine the potential of this problem!
'If I let them get on with their business, they won't find out anything. But will they forget whatever they are looking for?' He wondered. 'If they don't forget, even if they eventually drop the matter, they will grow stronger in a short time. By that time, their influence will increase, and it will be harder to stop them if they decide to stand against us!'
What he was most concerned about was not Gloria. After all, that woman would not have a great cultivation speed after reaching the 8th stage. But Minos, on the other hand, could advance easily to the beginning of the 8th stage!
Minos was only at level 61, and for talented people in this state or most of the Spiritual World, reaching the end of the 7th stage was not difficult.
That was, of course, considering that he was talented.
But because of the information the royal family had obtained from Minos' action at the local Spiritual Church temple entrance, this person knew that such a masked man must be highly talented.
Who would have a powerful ability to oppress those stronger than him without great talent?
No one!
Such a thing would go against Natural Law!
The more impressive someone's abilities were, the higher his talent should be, or he would be unable to expose such things.
A person might think that having techniques of outstanding quality was enough to reach the top of the world, but that was a foolish mistake!
A golden scroll would be nothing more than a valuable treasure to brag about if its owner did not have the necessary understanding to learn the technique inscribed there!
In this way, this man did not need to know how long it took Minos to reach level 61.
He knew that such a person was talented!

But Minos already had a power capable of dominating those of several levels above his by only being at level 61, so what would happen if he became a Spiritual Saint?
Thinking about how this fellow could probably reach level 70 in a few decades, this Spiritual Saint trembled with fear. 'If that happens, even if we want to fight with everything, we probably won't be able to stop the information from leaking out without much damage!'
'Even His Majesty might have trouble stopping this person from obtaining this information if we give him the chance to grow up...'
'By that time, it will all be over!' So he pondered, already almost entirely sure of what he should do.
Not acting there seemed the best decision in the short term. Nothing would happen, and the family would be able to live in peace for a few more years.
But the potential of a living enemy was many times greater than the problem of a dead enemy!
Acting there might attract people from the Church, but even an investigation by experts might lead to nothing. However, if Minos were determined to go after them, then doing nothing today would be like waiting for the end.
In this situation, this level 70 man decided to act!
"Let's see what they will do. If I realize these people have bad intentions against the family, we will act!" He said in a low voice to his two companions as he prepared to secretly enter the building that Minos' group had entered a few moments ago.
Gulp!
"All right!" The two soon began to follow this Spiritual Saint, fearful of having to act against members of the Church but sure that there must be a solid reason for this irreversible decision.
...
Meanwhile, inside that empty building that Minos and his wives had entered...
The five people there had already reached an area that looked like a large empty basement, where a lot of dust could be seen on the floor, and the typical smell of closed places was in the air.
But as Spiritual Emperors, they could ignore these signs and just focus on what they were about to do.
After Gloria, Ruth, and Minos started watching the surroundings, preparing to act if the enemy decided to act, Abby activated her innate ability. She made a blue fog come out of her fingers and envelop that man's body.
She then used her nerve control ability to wake this person from his faintness caused by Minos before stimulating reactions to make him tell the truth.
After a few moments, she felt that such a person was ready to talk and asked some basic things, such as his address, family, and essential things in his life.
They were going to threaten him, so it was important to know what they could best use to control him!
"Well, now tell me about your work. Do you have contact with any high-level members of royalty?" She asked, not wanting to demonstrate right away who their target was.
They were not sure if the enemy would act immediately, so in case they did not, it would be better to keep their main suspicions secret.
"Yes, some members of the royalty. But I don't have close contact with any of them, even though I work with the staff of His Highness, Abe Vogel."
"Is that so?" Abby took her cue. "What can you tell about him? Is he as ambitious as people say? Do you think he would be able to do something outside the rules for the sake of his power?"
