Back in the city, after dinner, Old Charles's home started to receive visitors one after another. Today's prayer ceremony was a bit later than usual because they were waiting for the ritual leaders coming from other poor districts.
Each ritual leader was powerfully built and an excellent miner.
Sitting separately to one side, they bore a clear and unmistakable expression of "scrutiny" on their faces. As Old Charles was about to go over and introduce the Prophet to them, Chen Gu quietly raised a hand to stop him. "Let's pray first."
The ritual leaders also devoutly bowed their heads. Knowing that the Prophet had his own plans, Old Charles did not wish to complicate matters further.
As the ceremony began, the ritual leaders thought that Chen Gu would talk with them afterward, but regardless, they harbored great skepticism towards what Old Charles called "miracles."
