Chapter 101- Fredrick
Dave and Belle heard that the wedding would be tomorrow, and anyone can witness it. Dave already formed a plan in his head but he first wanted to look for the information about Belle’s parents’ whereabouts.
Dave was very careful as he knew that many old monsters are living in the Empire. As he was walking, he saw many people looking at a certain restaurant. He also looks at it and hears what they are talking about.
“Look! It’s the old minister of the former ruler of the empire. He already resigned when the former ruler steps down on the throne.”
“Yeah, he was a loyal minister and I heard that the former king saved his life back in the days, so he was very grateful for them.”
“It’s a pity that he only wasted his smartness and he now becomes an alcoholic”
Dave who was looking for a clue suddenly smiled as he finally saw someone who could give him information.
He looked at the man they were talking to, and he saw a 50-year-old-looking merman who had white hair and cyan-colored eyes. He can feel that his strength is above Dave’s, but he still decided to check his status.

======
Dave was astonished as he was the strongest person he saw except his father. He was also astonished as his stats are high for the people with the same level. Dave estimated that when he reached Saint level, his power was many times higher than him, but he was just a Heavenly emperor sage for now.
Dave unconcealed himself as he blended into the crowd. Many saw him and were astonished as they never thought that there is a handsome merman here.
Dave walked forwards into the restaurant and many staff of the restaurant greeted him. It was their first time seeing them here but from his looks and how he dressed, he must be a big shot.
Dave saw the former minister and saw no one tried to be near him as he is releasing a strong aura. Dave on the other hand was not affected as his system is protecting him from the aura. Dave strode forward and took a seat near him.
Dave called a waiter and said, “Bring your best wine here”
The waiter nodded and everyone looked at him with astonishment as products in the empire are costly and only noble or royal members can afford them. Dave on the other hand had the treasures of the two kingdoms and he didn’t have a problem with money.
[Ding! You gained sin points]
Greed + 10,000
Envy + 20,000
Greed + 50,000
Envy + 40,000
Greed + 70,000
Envy + 10,000
…
Dave smiled as he likes to show off his wealth as he can attract envy in his surroundings. Fredrick was astonished as he could come near him, and he looked at him with a serious expression.
Dave saw that he looked at him and he heard a notification in his head.
[Ding! The system detected that someone is using mind control to attack your mind]
[Ding! The system canceled the effect of Mind Control]
….
Dave was angry as he tried to control him, but he retains his composure, and he remembers it in his mind. The waiter can’t go near them both, but Dave waved his hands then the wine floated towards his hands. He opens it and pours wine into the wine glass they provided. He gives it to him and says, “Well, the former minister who is very loyal to his master, but he can’t even help his master when he is feeling down.”
Dave is good at corrupting someone’s mind as he already knew why the former minister steps down from his position because he felt guilty. Fredrick held the wine and drank it in one gulp and looked at him and said, “You are something. I can’t see your true level, but I can feel that you are not above me, but you can come near me even if I was releasing my energy”
“As a former minister, I knew many people in the empire and even outside the empire, but I never saw someone like you, and you can even block my mind control. Who are you? What is your purpose for coming near me?”
Dave smiled but didn’t answer immediately. He drank his wine slowly then smiled at him. “Well, I am the one who can help you and you will also help me.”
