"Your idea is indeed very bold, but why do you think the Church would help you publish advertisements in newspapers and magazines?" Even Sia found Leyton's thinking to be very erratic, unable to guess what he would want to do next.

"Um, can't I just pay? Or offer a cut! Besides, it's also beneficial to the Church's Beyonders, right? The Church should be willing to negotiate, right, Sister Sia?" As Leyton spoke, he became somewhat uncertain. After all, such a large Knowledge Church would hardly mobilize its resources for Leyton's small matter, even if it would be somewhat beneficial to them.

"Oh! I didn't expect you to be so pragmatic, little guy. You call me Sister Sia when you need help, but at other times it's the distant Ms. Sia. Have I been wrong about you all along!" Sia routinely displayed her acting skills to tease Leyton.

Looking at the lady in front of him, with a sad expression, as if her heart had been broken by a scumbag and in need of comfort and pity, yet still beautiful as a flower, Leyton didn't know what to say for a moment. As for Josie on the side, he was already staring blankly, unable to speak. Leyton felt that if he were to ask Josie to speak at this moment, he would definitely stutter and stammer.

"Tsk, tsk! A drama queen, a waste of talent if she doesn't choose the Witch pathway." Leyton complained inwardly, even feeling that if Sia chose the Witch pathway, she would likely obtain the title of Red Witch.

"I always feel like you're thinking about something not very good." Sia's gaze suddenly became sharp and dangerous as she stared at Leyton.

"Ah? Why?" Leyton stared innocently into Sia's eyes.

"It's nothing, little guy, keep it up, but don't let me catch you red-handed! Oh, right, if you want to realize your idea, you first need a set of practical playing cards, not these shoddy products made by casually drawing on a few tarot cards. It would be best if it started circulating within our Church, so we can prove that this game really has the potential to become popular." Sia said, returning to her previous tone.

"Yes, a very good suggestion. I'll have the butler find a suitable factory to produce a few sets of cards when I get back tonight." Leyton nodded thoughtfully.

"Alas! As expected of a young master from a wealthy family! You even have a butler at home, unlike me, who has to run errands for everything myself, and no one feels sorry for this weak lady." Sia's words were as forceful as ever.

"Good tea!" Leyton wanted to complain but didn't dare.

"A weak lady is referring to the kind who single-handedly slaughtered a pirate crew?" Captain Icanton had returned while the others were discussing.

"Captain, there's a reason why you're still single!" Sia rolled her eyes.

"Single-handedly slaughtered a pirate crew? What kind of Mary Sue novel is this!" Leyton swallowed.

"Senior Sia is so strong?" Josie's eyes were already twinkling with stars.

Only Mr. Kosith didn't react much to this sentence, it seemed he already knew about it.

"The reason I'm single is that I don't think I can provide a stable family for a wife." Captain Icanton explained.

"Captain, such a serious explanation will only make Sia, this witch, play even more excitingly!" Leyton mourned for his captain for a second in his heart, only for a second because he would be watching the show next.

Sia didn't disappoint, uttering even more outrageous words: "The reason you can't provide a stable family for a wife is because you like to cheat, Captain? So in your heart, the wildflowers outside are more tempting than the ones at home!"

Captain Icanton's face turned white and then black again, finally just weakly retorting: "No!"

"Haha! Haha! You're not as fun to tease as this little boy." Sia's laughter was a bit wild, until the captain's face turned black again that she stopped.

"I'm just an old man who can't keep up with the times, it's normal that I can't keep up with you young people's thinking." Icanton shook his head and said helplessly.

"Captain, why did you come back alone? Where are Ms. Jessica and Joseph?" Leyton interrupted the conversation between the captain and Sia after he had enough of the gossip, saving the captain from the fire.

"They stayed at the cemetery in the suburbs, observing the situation nearby. Undead creatures rarely come out during the day, it's not good for them. One of you go over there later to lend a hand, neither of them are good at fighting. I need to take two people to a private hospital on Hawke Street in the northwest. Who's coming?" Icanton explained and then looked at the four, asking for their opinions.

"Captain, can I go with you? I probably can't help Joseph and the others, I'm even less combat-capable than them." Leyton said with self-awareness.

"Oh? So you're saying you can help on the other side, little boy?" Sia retorted sarcastically.

"This woman is so vindictive, she clearly let it go just now." Leyton once again labeled Sia's effigy with the tags of petty and vindictive.

"Buy two get one free, I'm the freebie. I just want to broaden my horizons, my understanding of mysterious events is basically zero! Is that okay, Captain?" Leyton made up a reason to explain why he wanted to go. As for Leyton's true intention, it was that he really didn't want to see that pile of books on the seat. Of course, curiosity was also genuine.

"Yes, you can. Sia, you go to the cemetery in the suburbs, don't go too late, Joseph and Jessica can't handle emergencies very well. Kosith, Josie, and Leyton, you come with me to the private hospital on Hawke Street in the northwest." Icanton quickly made the arrangements.

"So in your heart, Captain, I'm that important? You're actually letting me hold down the fort at the cemetery in the suburbs. I thought you would have Mr. Kosith go over there." Sia said with an incredulous look.

"Yes." Captain Icanton nodded very seriously.

"I thought you just wanted to get rid of me, Captain, and didn't want to be with me! Since I'm so important, then Captain, I'll go to the cemetery in the suburbs first, it's not usually that far away! Captain, remember to reimburse me for the carriage fare!" Sia teased the captain and then turned and left.

Captain Icanton's face darkened again, unsurprisingly.

"As expected of you, Red Witch, no, it should be called Reimbursement Hero now! She'll never spend money if she can get reimbursed, I should really recommend my Lord, the Fool, to this lady." The soul of Leyton's inner complaint was burning fiercely.

"Let's go too, let's try to resolve it as soon as possible, otherwise we'll have to work overtime today." Captain Icanton said with a strong sense of being a working stiff.

"Yes, Captain!"

"Okay, Captain."

"Okay, can I take a book with me? If I don't return here too late, I can also take it home to read, um, these books should be able to be taken home, right?" Leyton asked uncertainly.

"Yes, just register it on the first floor, remember to return it on time, otherwise your salary will be deducted." Captain Icanton nodded.
