Chapter 885 Abundance of Excess
It was a very visually impressive church with golden roof tiles, red walls, and sculpted pillars, making it
look very imposing. As the two walked up the steps hand in hand, they could hear the tolls of the bell
and the chanting of the priests.
Inside the church, they offered donation money before lighting incense and praying to God. Then,
Skyler went to the priest and used a pleading gaze to look at Lazlo. “Could you ask how we can get a
talisman for safety?”
He wanted to get a talisman of safety for Shirley. Since he thought that she was timid, with the
talisman, she might unearth newfound bravery while keeping herself safe.
Lazlo then exchanged a few words with the priest before stating to Skyler, “You just have to make a
small donation, kneel before God, and offer your prayers for safety. It’s that simple.”
He then added, “The talismans here have all proven to be quite efficacious.”
“Easy.” Skyler then let go of Shirley’s hand before going to the offering table and inserted quite the sum

The priest then went over with a bowl of water in his hand. After dipping his finger in the bowl, he
sprinkled Shirley with it before he passed her a red talisman.
“Thank you.”
Shirley took the talisman, bowing courteously to the priest while Lazlo helped Shirley translate her
words.
“Let me help you wear it.”
Skyler looked at the locket-shaped talisman. The talisman had flowers engraved on it, making it look
elegant and not gaudy at all.
He then walked behind her and helped her to wear it on her neck.
Seeing his actions, Shirley could not help but feel a bit moved.
“Alright. With this on, all the ghosts and supernatural beings will never bother you again. You won’t
have to be afraid anymore,” stated Skyler with a smile.
Even though the talisman did not really have any effects, the placebo effect it had was still somewhat
useful.
Touching the talisman on her neck, Shirley smiled and did not say anything.
“Hahaha…” Lazlo suddenly laughed and reminded them. “This talisman has something inside. Open it.
It’s a piece of jade.”
“Really?”
Skyler was skeptical.
Standing in front of Shirley, he put his hand inside the talisman pouch only to find something inside.
After taking it out, they found a rectangular white piece of jade inside with scriptures inscribed on it.
The thumb-sized jade had golden scriptures etched on it, although it looked more like it was for
decorative purposes, which made it seem very elegant.

“We sure are silly.” Shirley covered her mouth and laughed.
“What do you mean? It’s our first time, so it’s natural that we don’t know about this. It’s nothing to be
shameful about.”
Only after this did Skyler think of the sheer amount of gold, diamond, and precious stone mines the
Hidden Clan had, which made the price of such minerals low, meaning that just about everyone here
could afford it.
No wonder Zac and the others have been eyeing this place.
He looked at the white jade on Shirley’s neck, thinking that this would go for at least 15 thousand in the
country, yet it was so cheap here.
As expected, without comparisons, people would not realize the stark precipice in price difference.
Then, the trio walked around in the church and only returned reluctantly to the restaurant after realizing
that it was 9.00PM.
Entering the room, Shirley closed the door only to have Skyler hug and kiss her after she turned
around.
“Urg… Skyler, what are you doing?” asked Shirley.
“Could you stay away from Lazlo in the future?”
