Half an hour ago!

    After Myne and June vanished into the portal, Clone No. 5 shook his head in disbelief, cursing Myne under his breath as he followed the old man towards the exit of the underground prison. After all, given the choice between having fun with his girl and looking for death in the hands of a crazy organization, who would choose the latter?

    Although Myne''s clones were all copies of himself, once they came to life, they were no different from any other living person. They each had independent thoughts and behaviours. So naturally, they also possessed Myne''s traits, and as everyone knew, Myne was never the one who took things seriously.

    Situations always seemed to spiral out of control, forcing him to do what he needed to, otherwise, given the other party''s lazy personality, even if someone were to destroy his kingdom, he''d rather chase and flirt with beautiful girls in the name of saving them or trying to fill his pocket while taking advantage of opportunity than fighting invaders.

    In such a situation, it was natural for his clones to feel jealous of his main body, which was having fun while they had to search for a fatty and die under the hands of crazy powerful people. Thankfully, this time, he had chosen three powerful skills that could help him deal with most of the trouble, otherwise, he might surely die before he could see that fatty.

    "Huh? Old man, where are you going? The stairs aren''t in that direction," Clone Myne asked with a frown, just as he was about to walk towards the stairs leading to the ground floor, he saw the old man walking in the opposite direction.

    "Did you already forget our conversation? Didn''t you previously complain why I didn''t bring you from the main entrance... Where is your girl?" Just as the old man was speaking, he stopped for a moment and turned around to look at Myne with a smug smile, but it quickly turned into a frown when he saw Myne was following him alone.

    "I left her back in her cell. Although I didn''t want to say it, you might think it''s too dark, and even call me a scumbag. But after listening to how many people have eaten her, to tell the truth, I lost interest in her. Anyway, there are so many beautiful girls out there, how can I care about someone who has opened her legs for someone else?"

    "Until now, I thought she was my exclusive woman, who belonged only to me. So as her man, I was trying my best to find her. But now that the truth has come to light, it''s time to move on. So I told her it was dangerous outside, and I had to deal with some hooligans outside, so she should wait for me in her cell.

    Hehehe, that fool easily believed me and ran back to her cell, and didn''t even forget to close the door."

    "By the way, now that I''m single if you know any beautiful lady, don''t forget to recommend her to me, I am a very rich guy in my world, I will take good care of her, but remember I live big boobs women the most," The Clone Myne said with a wink, coming closer to the old man. As for the entrance the old man was talking about, he already remembered it.

    It was where those people transported goods and people into the prison.

    He walked towards the hole, casually tossed the girl over his shoulder into it from the top of wooden rods, as if it were trash, and then walked towards the group of guards who were preparing food.

    Not long after he left, Clone Myne saw two young men his age, wearing tattered clothes, carrying wooden buckets in their hands. They came to the hole and emptied the contents of the buckets into it. To Clone Myne''s disbelief and bad luck, thanks to his good eyesight, he clearly saw that the contents of the buckets were nothing but shit.

    "Sigh, some things are beyond our control. Just ignore it and move on," The old man said, patting Clone Myne on the shoulder when he saw him stop and stare at the shit hole in shock and disbelief.

    "What kind of disgusting church are you people running? Your people are killing innocent women in broad daylight right under your eyes, but you''re behaving as if it''s normal. Even if those women are the slaves they bought from the market, they shouldn''t be treated like trash. That bastard literally threw a little girl into that shit hole to die. How can you allow this?"

    The Clone Myne asked, gritting his teeth in anger. Although he had seen many disgusting and inhumane things, the guards'' actions were nothing compared to what he had witnessed. But those people were psychopaths, and there was nothing he could do about them. However, the guards were clearly normal, and even working under someone, how could the authorities take no action, and allow them to do it?

    This was truly hard for him to accept.

    "Well... I can''t tell you the reason why we allow them to do it, as it''s our church''s core secret. But you can say that everything happening here is for the greater good, at least the church didn''t lose anything. So just treat it as a nightmare and forget about it. Anyway, it has nothing to do with you.

    There''s no need to poke your nose into someone else''s business," The old man patiently explained, but there was with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, which he quickly hid as Clone Myne looked at him.

    Hearing the old man''s words, Myne fell silent for a few seconds before nodding and continuing to walk. However, for the rest of the way, until he emerged from the mysterious cave, he was completely unfocused, as if he were deep in thought.

    "Alright, this is it. Remember the contract and forget everything about this place. Just go back, fool... I mean, find a new girl and live happily with her. Don''t run around again," The old man said hurriedly, before walking back into the giant metal gate and disappearing behind a team of motionless guards.

    "So in the end, if I want to know the truth, I still have to go deep into the headquarters of this Church of Pain, huh?" After the old man left, Myne finally came out of his daydreaming and muttered, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

    Then he casually walked away from the metal door, and after making sure the guards couldn''t see him, he opened the portal and reappeared at the entrance of the tower of the prison, after all, this place was the furthest into the cave he had gone.

    After looking around and asking a random passerby about the portal''s location, Myne quickly walked forward and soon came to a large white marble building surrounded by a 5-meter-high wall with dozens of guards standing on the wall and below it in front of the entrance.
