Chapter 103 Using one tiger to devour another

“Sir,” the secretary stood respectfully beside Han Wei, “the living sacrifice of the Exorcism and Eternal Life Society will take place at midnight tonight.”

"Hmm..." Han Wei looked at the laptop not far away, which was still displaying the email address of someone. "Did that old man from the Luo family still want Luo Huayi's death photos?"

"Go find Xin Que and ask her to find a way to bring him back."

The secretary nodded in agreement.

Just after leaving the guest room building, the secretary saw a large crowd gathered in front of the church.

"Secretary Wen!" The security guard's eyes lit up when he saw the secretary approaching. "You've come at the perfect time..."

He led his men through the crowd, saying, "Another believer has gone missing... and these families have heard rumors from somewhere, saying that we..."

Secretary Wen frowned. "What?"

"They said we were trafficking people, selling them to the 'Eternal Life and Disaster Relief Society' to be used as living sacrifices," the security guard replied, forcing a smile.

The Church of Immortality also has rules of human sacrifice, but the believers who can board the cruise ship are all people of high status in society and in the church.

The offerings for human sacrifices have always been intended to be the poorest people with no background or their offspring, and should never be the upper class.

But the disappearance of his companion is an undeniable fact.

The only organization holding human sacrifices on cruise ships is the Exorcism and Eternal Life Society. If their invitation to the cruise ship is just a scam destined to be betrayed by the church...

These rumors don't seem to be entirely unfounded.

The disappearances of believers on the cruise ship were already causing widespread panic, and this seemingly plausible rumor only added fuel to the fire.

Secretary Wen looked at the men and women at the entrance who were trying to get answers from the church.

It took him a long time to figure out the content of the rumors from this farce.

I don't know which side sent the message, but it is said that the Eternal Life Society and the Eternal Life Cult are only superficially at odds, but in fact the two bosses have a life-or-death friendship.

All the heretical conflicts and contradictions are just a show for believers. In reality, the Eternal Life Society is the most loyal lackey of the Eternal Life Cult.

Those missing believers were simply handed over to the Eternal Life Church under the guise of contributing to the church. The two sides then collaborated to hold live sacrifices, borrowing divine favor to ensure the growth and expansion of both churches.

Secretary Wen was so angry at this absurd rumor that she almost lost her balance.

The Exorcism and Eternal Life Society is clearly just a heretical church that broke away from the old leader Han, so how come it's become like a close brotherhood in these rumors?

But after calming down, he immediately ordered his men to suppress the troublemakers with armed force, and then rushed to Han Wei's residence.

"Another cult member has gone missing?" Han Wei was furious when Secretary Wen relayed the rumor before he could even process the news of the missing cult members.

"Nonsense!" He slammed his fist on the table. "Gather all the believers and forbid them from stepping out of the church!"

"Raise the armed defenses to the highest level, mobilize all mercenaries, and hold the church at all costs!"

"Furthermore, you should take people to investigate who is repeatedly kidnapping our followers and spreading rumors behind the scenes?"

Secretary Wen's expression hardened. "I'll go right away."

After the office became empty, Han Wei frowned, pondering who was plotting against him behind the scenes.

Han Wei almost immediately suspected Xin Que, who had previously been suspected of murdering cult members.

However, he had thoroughly investigated Xin Que's family background and personal details, something she was not capable of doing.

He then thought of the Society for Eliminating Calamity and Achieving Immortality.

But what good does doing this do for them? Who deliberately portrays themselves as a subordinate when spreading rumors?

Moreover, they were originally in conflict with the Church of the Exorcism and the Church of Eternal Life, which were considered orthodox churches and heretical branches.

Regardless of whether it's a doctrinal conflict or a conflict of interest in the shady dealings of the Eternal Life Society, the Eternal Life Society should not spread such rumors.

This is contrary to common sense.

Could it be a gladiatorial arena? But the Victoria Gladiator Arena has a close cooperative relationship with them, both in terms of revenue and...

wrong.

Han Wei suddenly recalled Xin Que's suggestive defense in the private room.

The people in the arena don't want us to cooperate...

Some people hope to sit back and watch the tigers fight... so they can profit from it.

At the time, he scoffed at it, not thinking that Xin Que had anything to be falsely accused by the gladiator. In addition, given their cooperative relationship with the gladiator, he never doubted his ally.

But what if what Xin Que said is true?

Han Wei felt a chill run down his spine.

Sitting on the mountain watching the tigers fight... in the arena, hoping he and the Eternal Life and Dispelling Calamity Society will clash?

How could a tiny subsidiary of the arena dare to have such audacity? Unless…

It means Victoria Company.

The Victoria Company orchestrated everything behind the scenes, using the cruise trip to bring together the top executives of both sides and constantly sowing discord and escalating their conflicts...

The purpose is to use one side to devour the other, so that whoever wins can share the loser's remains with one of the other sides.

Victoria was certain that they would never suspect this shipping company, with whom they had worked so smoothly for so many years without ever making a mistake.

Han Wei took out his phone to dial his father's number.

But when his fingertip hovered over the word "father" on the communication page, he put down his phone.

He is now in international waters, and even if his father sends someone to rescue him, it will take time.

Moreover, his hasty retreat without achieving anything and his defeat will become a stain that will be difficult for him to defend and erase when he takes over the Eternal Life Cult in the future.

What a large church needs are pioneers, not cowardly wimps.

Risk and reward always go hand in hand.

Victoria could use one enemy against another; he could certainly form alliances and counter-alliances.

They wanted to win over Victoria and get her to side with their orthodox Eternal Life Cult to fight against the Exorcism Eternal Life Society...

The benefits will be maximized.

Through whom should we contact... Jin Doucai?

But Jin Doucai is a very cunning and slippery man; what if someone twists his meaning...?

He had to minimize the risks involved, and the safest course of action would be to have something on Jin Doucai to hold him back.

Han Wei thought of Xin Que, who had been framed and falsely accused of murder by the gladiatorial arena.

Murder can be a big deal or a small deal, but Victoria will never let it escalate into the public eye.

Once the truth is revealed, Jin Doucai will definitely be the one abandoned.

As long as he wants to keep his cruise ship and arena businesses, he will definitely cooperate with Han Wei.

Having finalized his plan, Han Wei immediately instructed his assistant to contact Xin Que.

...

Xin Que was standing on the top floor of the cruise ship building, looking down at the entire cruise ship.

The deck plaza, guesthouse buildings, entertainment buildings, restaurants, and commercial streets... are all within view.

Unfortunately, from an aerial view, you can only see the surface and not the ship's structure.

“Boss Jin,” she said, lowering her eyes, “what do you think Han Wei and Li Zhonghan’s next move will be?”

Surrounded by bodyguards, Jin Doucai sat at a coffee table not far away, holding a cup of black tea. "If they weren't mentally challenged, they would all be here to seek cooperation with us."

Both the Eternal Life Cult and the Dispelling Calamity Eternal Life Society are on the Victoria cruise ship. If they want to leave the high seas peacefully, they have to win over Jin Doucai, who manages the cruise ship.

"Then I'll leave the rest to Mr. Jin to handle." Xin Que withdrew her gaze.

Jin Doucai gently blew on the steaming hot black tea. "You'd better remember your mission."

Xin Que laughed, "Of course, I will definitely make sure Han Wei dies at the hands of the Eternal Life Society."
