The Church of Light is spread throughout the continent, with its headquarters in Saint Brand being particularly well-established.
Therefore, if you want to deal with the Holy See, you can't just storm their door. Some fanatical followers, and even some ordinary people, will try to stop you.
This is also where the Church of Light is clever. It attracts ordinary people to join the church with small favors, laying the foundation for the Church of Light, and then influences the merchants and nobles at the top.
The Church of Light now wields power comparable to royalty throughout Saint Brand and even the entire Assyrian Kingdom.
Therefore, when dealing with the Holy See, we must not act rashly; we must have a just cause and be based on reason and evidence.
Grace has been operating in the West End for so many years, so she certainly knows a lot about the West End Church of Light.
Upon hearing this, he gritted his teeth and said, "That Archbishop Eddie of the Western District Vatican is a bastard!"
The western district is the poorest, but the poorer the place, the more advantageous it is for the Church of Light to control people's hearts.
Some wealthy merchants would donate grain to the Western District Papacy for the sake of their reputation, and the Papacy would then organize the distribution to the poor.
But that bastard Eddie lined his own pockets, selling off the good grain and buying up some old grain that had been stored for who knows how many years, some of which was even moldy, and distributing it to the poor in the West End along with rice bran!
That stuff can kill people! These poor people already have weak immune systems, and many of them have died from diarrhea after eating it.
And Eddie is a womanizer. Although the Holy See does not prohibit marriage and having children, it only recommends marrying one wife. Having multiple wives and concubines does not fit the image of bishops as benevolent and virtuous.
Eddie only had one wife because he wanted to get promoted.
But in secret, this guy is an absolute beast!
Under the guise of helping the poor, he selected many beautiful girls from the poor to be trained by the Western District Vatican.
Once they grew up, they were brainwashed and abused, and then given as gifts to high-ranking officials of other Vatican councils and some wealthy merchants and nobles.
Because most of these impoverished girls were orphans, and even if they had relatives, they were powerless and destitute, so they were simply powerless to resist.
Yang Cheng squinted and said, "For so many years, has no one ever dealt with this guy?"
Grace sighed, "I've submitted my application several times, but it's been rejected every time."
Police headquarters didn't want to provoke the Holy See, and besides, the West District wasn't taken seriously.
Eddie was smart; even in the West End, he wouldn't target wealthy middle-class girls, but only the destitute and helpless.
So nobody wants to get involved, and nobody's willing to get involved.
"Then we'll take care of this matter!"
"Chief Grace, gather your men and prepare to move in. Arrest Eddie and conduct a public trial right outside the Vatican."
Grace nodded; he had been eagerly awaiting this day.
As soon as Grace left the office, she shouted, "Stop loitering! Everyone, assemble!"
Grace is currently the Central District Police Chief, but the Central District Police Chief naturally holds a higher position than the police chiefs of the other four districts.
Furthermore, Clough issued an order that the other districts should cooperate with Grace, the director of the central district.
It could be said that although Grace is now the chief, his power is almost the same as that of the police chief of St. Brand.
Hughes and the other police officers assembled at an extremely fast pace; their skills were even far superior to those of the elite officers in other parts of the city.
Furthermore, after being transferred to the central area, their equipment underwent a major upgrade.
Back in the West District, their equipment consisted of a small revolver, and when faced with supernatural events, they could only request a small number of silver bullets.
But now, their everyday equipment has become the Demon Hunter Revolver, a weapon that is larger than a normal revolver and can hold ten bullets.
The Demon Hunter Revolver itself is engraved with runes, and its bullets are not only made of silver, but also made of other special steels, engraved with alchemical patterns, and have various functions.
They were all equipped with the highest-level protective suits produced by the Alchemist Guild, making it impossible for ordinary evil spirits to get close.
Besides firearms, they also have batons, short knives, and various other melee weapons, all of which have been enhanced by alchemy and can be used to kill some monsters.
It could be said that even if these police officers in the central area were just ordinary people, with these equipment, they might be more powerful than some low-level superhumans.
Once everything was ready, hundreds of people headed straight for the West Side Church.
After Grace was promoted to chief of the central district, the former chief of the western district, who was still Grace's confidant, also went to the western district church to investigate.
The western part of St. Brandt was dilapidated, with even some middle-class houses appearing low and run-down.
The most luxurious and tallest building in the entire West End is the West End Church.
Inside the West Side Church, Bishop Eddie was embracing two hot, young, and beautiful nuns, drinking wine and occasionally touching their white-stockinged thighs beneath their wide nuns' skirts.
These two nuns were certainly not normal nuns. Eddie had tricked poor girls into joining the Vatican as nuns, but in reality, they were there specifically to be used for people's amusement.
Some high-ranking officials within the Vatican may appear virtuous, but they actually enjoy this kind of behavior.
Eddie is in his fifties and has served as the Bishop of the West for over ten years.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't have served as the first district bishop for so long; he should have been promoted to the Vatican headquarters and become a candidate for cardinal.
