Perhaps he did consider revenge, but more than anything, he hoped that one day he could report these matters to the higher-ups of the Vatican and let the Vatican handle the matter properly!

Instead of letting the situation escalate to the point of being unmanageable.

After all, if this matter were to become known to the public, the reputation of the Vatican would be severely damaged, and more importantly, it would cause widespread panic among the public!

The consequences would be absolutely catastrophic!

“I understand. Don’t worry, I suspended Odal and the others from their duties after I arrived yesterday.” Bishop Thomas carefully put away the documents, stood up, bowed very respectfully to Reynolds, and then said, “Thank you, Reynolds.”

Your efforts will definitely not be in vain!

Thomas was well aware of Reynolds' concerns.

Therefore, Thomas did not linger any longer and quickly left the box with two subordinates, preparing to return to the Vatican to make further arrangements.

If all of this is true, then simply suspending him is far from enough!

He must now arrest Odal and his gang as soon as possible and interrogate them thoroughly!

Thomas, preoccupied with the ins and outs of the matter, didn't have much time to consider other issues. So, when he saw Audar walking towards him after leaving the coffee shop, he didn't pay much attention. He just frowned and was about to go up and ask him some questions when his subordinate, sensing something was wrong, suddenly rushed over, shouting "Be careful!" and pinning Bishop Thomas to the ground.

After the violent roar, Bishop Thomas, still in a daze, hadn't yet recovered from what had just happened. Finally, the metallic taste that filled his nostrils reminded him of what had just occurred.

Odal had completely turned into a cloud of blood mist and vanished without a trace.

However, the consequences of his actions were also disastrous.

The windows of the nearest coffee shop were completely shattered into dust. Fortunately, there weren't many pedestrians on this stretch of road at the moment, so no one was affected. However, the subordinate who reacted quickly and was the first to notice something was wrong and stepped forward to protect him was now...

After his initial shock, Thomas was overcome with overwhelming rage.

Those bastards!

asshole!

Such behavior is nothing short of blatant provocation.

It's obvious that Odal has now been exposed, and they must have thought that they would follow the trail and find the mastermind behind it all!

So let's make the most of it and use Odal to carry out this attack!

"Let's go back!"

Bishop Thomas stood up without any hesitation, gave an order to another subordinate, bent down to help his companion up, and together they got into the back seat of a car that had pulled up nearby.

The commotion was bound to attract the attention of the police, so when Bishop Thomas left, he made sure to leave someone behind to clean up the mess.

When Hu Da and the others came out after hearing the commotion at the door, Bishop Thomas and his entourage had already left. Gu Qi, however, took a few steps, reached the edge of the cordon, squatted down, and quietly took a tissue and dabbed it on the remaining bloodstains on the ground. Then, her fingers flew, and in no time, a lifelike paper crane took shape in her hand.

She led Hu Yue and Reynolds away from the crowd to a secluded spot, then opened her palm and blew on the paper crane. As if it had come to life, the paper crane flapped its wings a few times and quickly flew into the sky, heading rapidly away in one direction.

"That's Odal's blood."

Odal wouldn't come to assassinate Thomas for no reason; someone must have been behind it!

Although that person may be very careful, doing too many things will eventually leave clues.

This paper crane can then follow the scent left by the remaining blood to locate the mastermind behind it all!

Hu Da explained in a low voice to Hu Yue, who was standing to the side, that she had only watched coldly for a while. It wasn't that she wanted to cause trouble, but judging from the current situation, if the Vatican's people were to act with such impunity...

She had serious doubts.

So forget it, I'll just look it up myself!

"Do you think the person behind this might be connected to the Puppet Clan?! Or perhaps, those people are actually members of the Puppet Clan?!"

Hu Yue's voice was even softer. Hu Da must have had some reason for making such an arrangement!

If all of this were merely a power struggle within the Holy See, or a conflict between them and the vampires, they could simply ignore it!

But this matter happens to be related to the Puppet Clan!

Then they won't be able to ignore it!

"Let's wait until we have the results before we talk about it." Hu Da didn't intend to speculate wildly. She patted Hu Yue on the shoulder and suggested that they go back first, and they could talk about it when they got home.

The commotion was quickly quelled by police intervention.

Meanwhile, Adeline, who had just learned that Thomas was alright, smashed another bone china cup in a fit of rage.

She originally thought that she could still make use of it!

Unfortunately, trash is trash!

Even if you die, it will be of no use whatsoever!

What a waste of her expectations!

Fortunately, Odal is dead! She had only ever been in contact with Odal in the entire history of the Vatican! Now that he's dead, for the time being, those people shouldn't be able to trace her back here.
