Alternatively, he could be transferred to another city to serve as the bishop of that city.
But Eddie bribed everyone in, wanting to stay in the West End, where things were much more comfortable.
While advancing to the Vatican headquarters offered a promising future, Eddie knew his aptitude was limited and that he would never become a cardinal in his lifetime.
With so many important figures at headquarters, what am I compared to them?
While becoming a bishop in other cities would make one a local tyrant, could those cities compare to St. Brand? Some cities didn't even have running water.
So Eddie just wanted to stay in the West End and not move, living the life of a carefree local tyrant.
At this moment, a subordinate of the Western District Vatican walked in, seemingly ignoring Eddie's appearance, and said, "Archbishop, for some reason, there are many more police officers from the Western District Police Station monitoring us outside the Vatican."
Eddie scoffed: "What are those losers up to now? Ignore them, they can't cause any trouble."
When Grace was in charge, Eddie had also given her a pair of twin nuns and some money as bribes.
After all, they're both in the West End, one representing the power of the Papacy and the other the power of the Royal Family. Eddie doesn't want to cause trouble; everyone can make money together.
But to his surprise, Grace flatly refused his overtures and even threatened to put him on trial. It was a complete joke.
Who else besides the God of Light has the right to judge him, the archbishop?
Grace tried everything – collecting evidence, reporting to police headquarters, etc. – but nothing worked, which only made Eddie more arrogant.
Since Grace is being ungrateful, then I don't need to be ungrateful to her either.
Eddie didn't care at all when he heard that there were police around the church.
The subordinate, however, had some foresight. He advised, "Archbishop, Grace is not the same as before."
That guy was promoted to chief of the central district police station and was even summoned by His Majesty, which clearly shows that he is going to be given an important position.
If they target us at a time like this, that could be troublesome.
Eddie waved his hand impatiently: "Trouble my ass! Unless the kingdom is going to wage a full-scale war against our Holy See, who would dare to cause us trouble?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than several members of the Western District Vatican rushed over, shouting, "Your Excellency, something terrible has happened! Grace has surrounded our Vatican with a large number of police!"
Eddie finally removed his hand from the nun's white-stockinged thighs and asked incredulously, "Has Grace gone mad? This guy is absolutely insane!"
With anger on his face, Eddie led his men out and ran into Grace, who was leading a large number of police officers who had surrounded the Vatican and were about to search every room to dig out all his secrets.
"Stop! Grace, are you insane? Who gave you the right to act so recklessly in the Vatican? Without a search warrant from the Papacy's Inquisition, no one can enter the Vatican and cause trouble!"
Whatever the people of the Holy See do, they are never judged or arrested by the kingdom. The Holy See has an internal tribunal specifically for judging its own members.
Of course, people from within the Vatican don't end up in the Inquisition because of things like the other side killing innocent people. Instead, they end up in the Inquisition because of internal strife or because they've offended some important figures within the Vatican. It's usually those people who end up in the Inquisition for these kinds of reasons.
Grace said coldly, "The headquarters of the Holy See is in St. Brand, so it must obey the laws of the Assyrian Kingdom!"
What the Vatican can handle, I can handle; what the Vatican cannot handle, I can also handle!
Do it! Dig deep into the Western District Vatican and uncover its filthy sins!
Anyone who dares to intercept us will be killed on the spot!
"Rebellion! Rebellion! Grace, you are provoking a war between the Holy See and the Kingdom of Assyria! You are pushing countless people into the abyss of death! You are a sinner in history!"
Eddie shouted at Grace, but Grace remained unmoved and continued to send men to search the church.
Some members of the Church of Light dared to rebel; Hughes and Lenser, among others, were incredibly audacious, and they were truly capable of shooting and killing.
The people inside the Western District Vatican were no match for them; they were immediately beaten down, and crimson blood instantly stained the white church.
Eddie felt a chill run through him and stared at Grace in terror.
Only now did he truly believe that Grace was serious!
After realizing what had happened, he shuddered.
The things inside the Western District Vatican must not be seen by others, otherwise, he will definitely die a horrible death!
"Get them out of the church!"
