Chapter 296: Loyal Virgil (2)

Apu actually closed the door for him and Christian.

Closed the door?

In the room, although his mouth was still being invaded by Christian, the expression on his face became quite strange. When he saw Apu, Ron thought about all kinds of situations that might arise.

For example, the Vice-Pope would be furious and accuse himself and Christian of being shameless and disrespectful.

He might also be so angry that he vomits blood and faints on the spot.

It is more likely that he would risk his life for his beloved, and attack himself and Christian regardless of the consequences, and then die on the spot.

Ron thought of all the possibilities, but he never thought that Apu would choose to close the door. What was this? Out of sight, out of mind?

Is it really okay to fool me like this? Or is A Pu really that considerate? This performance is probably comparable to that of a certain Tang Dynasty prince consort named Fang, right? This considerate performance even made Ron feel a little guilty, wondering if he had been too harsh on A Pu before? Just as the door closed, Ron saw A Pu's face. On that face, Ron saw extreme humiliation and anger, as well as the unwillingness of having to suppress this humiliation and anger.

In the Twilight Continent, the Ninja Turtles, it’s none other than Apu.

Not only Ron, but even Deina, whose little head had just popped out from behind the big tree, was stunned... She also thought that Apu would not be able to help but rush in, but he just closed the door and left?

Is this the Vice Pope of the Church of the Goddess of Dawn? To put it nicely, it's called impatience can ruin great plans, to put it bluntly, isn't that a green-haired turtle?

Deina couldn't help but wonder, how did this kind of person climb to the position of the Son of God in the fierce competition? Could it be that he relied on this kind of patience? Let alone Deina and Ron's thoughts, on the other side, Apu, who had just closed the door, could no longer stay here and turned around to leave. In the room behind him, the sounds of his wife and Ron gurgling and slurping, as well as the rustling of clothes, continued to enter his ears.

That face was as gloomy as iron.

His face was twisted like a whirlpool, and his bloodshot eyes looked creepy.

He clenched his fists tightly, his fingers dug into his palms, and drops of blood rolled down the edges of his palms to the ground. It was the first time in Apu's life that he felt such extreme humiliation. Even when he was stepped on by Christian, he had never felt as humiliated as he did now.

It was clearly that couple who were fooling around behind my back... No, they didn't even close the door and had no intention of doing it behind my back, but I had to take the initiative to cover up for this couple.

Is there anything more shameful in this world than this?

But what could he do? He probably couldn't beat either of those two dogs.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

There was another dull pain in the chest, and with a scream, a mouthful of blood spurted out again.

His face was extremely pale, with no trace of blood in it. He didn't even know where he was going. When he returned to the Pope's Palace, he was staggering, his steps were weak, and his face was gloomy, as if he was seriously injured.

It was not until Apu saw Virgil anxiously waiting at the gate of the Pope's Palace that a warm feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

He was even a little moved, his heart felt warm, and the corners of his eyes even turned a little red.

Although his first love had passed away long ago, his biological son also died, and his wife betrayed him, but at least he still had loyal subordinates.

In this cold winter, he felt a little warmth for the first time.

"Oh, Your Holiness, you are finally back!"

Virgil, who had been rubbing his hands and walking back and forth at the door, was delighted when he saw Apu appear. He walked over quickly, but when he got closer and saw Apu's face clearly, his expression suddenly changed: "What happened to you? Who hurt you?"

"Oh, damn it, what a hateful bastard, you are bleeding. Your Holiness, please wait, I will call the brothers from the Inquisition here, we can't just let this go."

Virgil was furious and turned away, apparently ready to call his brothers and grab his weapons to get back at them.

That look of righteous indignation touched Apu even more.

This Virgil is a little bit lacking in strength, and has just entered the hero level. Among Apu's many subordinates, he is really not ranked at all, but he is really loyal.

That’s right, for Apu now, the strength of his subordinates is not the most important thing... Having strength is good, but loyalty is the most important.

He has tasted betrayal too many times, and only loyal subordinates like Virgil can make him feel at ease.

Seeing that Virgil had already walked a distance impatiently, Apu suppressed the thought in his mind: "Virgil, come back."

Virgil stopped walking, but his face was still full of indignation: "Your Holiness, we can't just let it go like this, we..."

"Who said we should just let it go?" Apu suppressed the thought in his mind, his expression gradually becoming fierce: "Wait a minute, go and notify the Inquisition and the Knights of the Dawn, bring all our brothers, and stay in the palace tonight."

Virgil was slightly startled, his eyes rolled around, and then his face was full of excitement: "Your Holiness, are we taking action tonight?"

"No, it's tomorrow night." Apu said proudly.

This time, he really wasn't going to hold back at all. No matter what the cost, even if it meant consuming all his strength and sacrificing all his men, he was determined to kill Ron.

In this life, he has always valued power and has been pursuing power all his life. But now, his hatred for Ron has surpassed his desire for power. As long as he can kill Ron, he is willing to give everything.

Even if Ron hooked up with Christian, what would happen ?

With so many elite soldiers, a spit from each of them could drown those two idiots.

I have already made arrangements on my side and now I am just waiting for good news from Holt.

Virgil also grinned, his scarlet tongue sweeping across his lips. Instead of leaving as Apu ordered, he took a step forward and said, "Your Holiness, do we need to bring anything with us? I mean dry food or something?"

Apu was slightly stunned: "No need, just bring weapons and armor. As for dry food, Holt shouldn't ignore it, right?"

"Your Holiness, how come you are so smart all your life but so foolish at one moment?" Virgil's tone was a little anxious.

That look made Apu feel even more puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"Your Holiness, I don't know what you and that old Holt are planning, but it seems that you have united because of a common enemy... and this alliance is obviously temporary."

"Although I have only met that old man Holt once, he is definitely a ferocious beast with great ambitions. Think about it, after you have eliminated that common enemy, this alliance can still be maintained. For an ambitious man like Holt, who will be the next enemy standing in his way? Isn't it you?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Your Holiness, I am not trying to cause trouble on purpose."

"You know I am loyal to you."

"What do you think? If Holt adds some slow-acting poison to our brothers' food, and the poison gradually takes effect after we defeat that enemy, then our brothers' lives will be in that guy's hands, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Apu's expression suddenly changed, and when he looked at Virgil again, there was even some gratitude in his eyes.

Yes, Virgil is right, this is really not a matter of provocation.

This is a loyal minister who always stands from his own perspective and considers himself in everything.

That's right, even though he and Holt have a very good relationship now, almost sworn brotherhood, both he and Holt know very well that this friendship is only temporary.

Once Ron dies, he and Holt, two ambitious men, will inevitably return to their original hostile state.

Virgil's suggestion of planting a slow-acting poison in food was something that Holt could really do given his personality. That guy was a shady guy who would think twice before taking any action. I was afraid that Holt would turn his butcher knife towards me right after Ron died.

For a moment, Apu was sweating profusely.

Ron really pissed me off. Normally, I would never be so impulsive. If it weren't for a loyal subordinate like Virgil, I would be in big trouble this time and I wouldn't even know how I died.

Apu felt a little scared, and for a moment, he looked at Virgil with gratitude. Virgil's words just now were like saving his life.

Hey, it would be great if I could have a hundred men like Virgil around me.

Although he is not particularly strong, he is loyal and smart. With Virgil around, he can avoid countless dangers and troubles.

After taking a deep breath, Apu suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart and looked at Virgil again: "You are right. We should be more careful."

"How about this, we'll let you prepare all the food for our people. You must be careful and never give that old man Holt a chance to attack. Do you understand?"

"You are the person I trust the most. I can only entrust this important matter to you."

Virgil lowered his head quickly and said, "Please rest assured, Your Holiness. I will never betray your trust and will not give Holt any chance to take advantage of me. Also, tell my brothers to be alert when the time comes. Don't rush forward foolishly. Let Holt's men go first."

Apu was very satisfied with Virgil's answer, but he did not notice the slight curve at the corner of Virgil's mouth.

Although he didn't even know what plan Apu and Holt were preparing, he had already left an unbridgeable crack in this plan.

With grudges in mind, genuine cooperation is absolutely impossible, and in any case, the effectiveness of this plan is bound to be greatly reduced.

What's more, he also silently controlled the life and death of tens of thousands of Dawn Knights and Inquisitors.

He really liked this feeling, controlling everything silently.

There is a sense of pleasure in being the mastermind behind all this.
