You can just say you can't stop the agitated crowd. At most, it will just be a charge of dereliction of duty, and the Vatican won't even have an excuse to hold you accountable.
Sometimes, what matters is not the process, but the result.
Hearing Yang Cheng say this, Grace could only sigh and tell Hughes and the others to step back, leaving Eddie and the others to be engulfed in the anger of the people.
Half an hour later, even the screams inside stopped, and the crowd dispersed.
But the ground was a mess, littered with severed limbs, and it was impossible to even tell which one was Eddie.
Grace had the scene cleaned up and then immediately reported the situation to the kingdom.
Because of Clough's orders, the police headquarters did not give any instructions to Grace. Even when the Church of Light came to make trouble, it only gave Grace a lukewarm warning, telling him to be careful next time and not to let the 'suspect' die accidentally.
At the headquarters of the Holy See, Milton Colbert, one of the eight cardinals, listened with a gloomy expression to the reports from the congregation below.
Because they had previously plotted against the Assyrian royal family and wanted to make the Hohenheim incident a big deal before taking action, the Pope and the other eight cardinals were not present, and the Vatican directly distanced itself from the matter.
Now that the matter has come to an end, Milton was the first cardinal to return, but he never expected to encounter such a thing as soon as he came back.
"Bastard! Idiot! You're good for nothing but causing trouble!"
Milton was furious when he heard that Eddie had been beaten to death on the spot by an angry mob in the West End, and that the police headquarters had only given Grace a lukewarm warning.
First, the Kingdom of Wrath dared to openly attack the Papacy; second, they ordered Eddie to be so audacious as to place his shady dealings within the Western Papacy, giving them leverage against him. Now, his death is meaningless.
Although Milton had also taken in Eddie's nun, he still had to scold her now.
Grace has made Eddie's affair public this time, so the Church of Light is definitely going to suffer this loss.
But this matter absolutely cannot be left like this.
"Go and fetch Pollitt to see me."
A moment later, Pollitt walked in and bowed respectfully to Milton: "Greetings, Your Excellency Cardinal."
"You've heard about what happened at the Western District Vatican, haven't you? Why didn't you stop Grace when she attacked Eddie?"
The Pope is away with his priests, and the three major knightly orders and cardinals are not present. You are the highest fighting force of the Papacy in Saint Brand.
Where are you, and where are the Night Watchmen?!
Pollitt was surprised that Milton's first reaction was to question him, which made Pollitt blush and whisper, "Your Excellency, please forgive me. It's not that I didn't want to help, but it was too late at that time."
Grace and her men acted too quickly. Although I knew he had taken people to the West End, I never imagined they would dare to attack the Western District Papacy.
Pollitt felt very wronged. It was Eddie who was too arrogant and put those shady things in the Vatican. What did it have to do with him?
Now that Eddie is dead, Milton clearly wants to find someone to scold and vent his anger, which makes Polya furious and helpless.
When the Papacy was first established, the leader of the Night's Watch held a position on par with the eight cardinals, the high priest of the Holy Temple, and the grandmasters of the three major knightly orders.
As a result, the Night's Watch leader is now ranked lower than them, roughly the same as archbishops like Eddie.
The fundamental reason is that the Papacy has already fallen out with the Assyrian Kingdom, and there is no need to invest so much effort in the Night's Watch to solve supernatural events.
Therefore, the status of the Night Watchmen has been declining, and some of them are not even considered believers of the Church of Light.
To others, he was still a high-ranking member of the Holy See, but in reality, he was just that kind of person.
Seeing that Pollitt still dared to explain, Milton immediately yelled, "Didn't expect that?! If you didn't expect it, then you didn't do it. What could you possibly have thought of?"
"I can't believe it. What use is the Papacy to you? Aren't you having too much of a good time as the leader of the Night's Watch?"
After giving Pollitt a good scolding, Milton sneered, "Now I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself."
Grace is asking for it. Find an opportunity to secretly eliminate him.
Remember not to use the Light God Magic to impersonate other superhuman criminals.
That guy messed with a lot of people; it's normal for him to get killed now.
