Pollitt gave a dejected smile and said directly, "Just kill me."
Yang Cheng was slightly taken aback at this moment.
He thought that Polit would either threaten him or beg for mercy, but he didn't expect the other party to have such an attitude, begging for death right from the start.
Even Yang Cheng could sense a sense of despondency emanating from him, as if he had completely given up hope.
Grace, who was standing to the side, seemed to have thought of something and whispered a few words to Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng's face immediately showed a look of understanding.
Releasing Polite, Yang Cheng said calmly, "Why would I kill you? Those guys from the Holy See might even want me to kill you so they can have an excuse to cause trouble."
Pollitt's face turned a little pale. He hadn't thought of this before, but Yang Cheng had pointed it out.
Just as Yang Cheng said, if he died here without knowing why, the Vatican might use his death as an excuse to launch an attack.
He was nothing more than a tool.
"Sit down and let's talk."
Yang Cheng led Pollitt to a chair, then leisurely sat on the office sofa and said casually, "You're actually a pitiful person too. It must be unpleasant to be used as a tool and manipulated at will."
Seeing that Pollitt was about to say something, Yang Cheng waved his hand and said, "Don't deny it, Grace just told me about your experience."
Compared to other priests or knights of the Holy See, although you have reached the position of leader of the Night's Watch, you are not a direct descendant of the Holy See.
You were just an ordinary civilian who was rescued by the Night's Watch after an unexpected supernatural event.
Because you were infected with the power of the evil god, the Holy See originally intended to execute you, but the previous leader of the Night's Watch saved you and allowed you to join the Night's Watch.
You are grateful to the previous leader of the Night's Watch for saving your life. Over the years, you have fought for the Holy See, resolving countless supernatural events for them. Your contributions far exceed those of the knights and priests of the Order.
However, you were never a direct descendant of the Papacy, so in the end, you didn't even qualify to compete for the position of leader of the Night's Watch.
You are clearly the strongest among the Night's Watch, and you have clearly completed the most missions.
In the end, the position of leader of the Night's Watch was parachuted in by the high-ranking officials of the Holy See to a vice-commander of the Holy Knights.
However, that guy was all show and no substance; he wasn't very strong, so he died unexpectedly in a supernatural event.
Of course, this accidental death is also suspicious. You were not there during that operation, so it is very likely that you set it up and deliberately killed that guy to create an alibi.
Sit down, don't get excited. This is just my guess, and I'm not going to tell the Vatican.
After that, the position of Night's Watch remained vacant for a period of time, as no one within the Papacy was willing to become its leader.
After all, this position requires the most effort and is also the most dangerous.
That's why the position of leader of the Night's Watch, which no one wanted, ended up in your hands.
Even so, you are still not a direct descendant of the Papacy, and you are at their beck and call every day. In reality, you are just a tool that can be discarded at any time.
Just like this time when you came to assassinate Grace.
Even if the assassination succeeds, so what?
The rewards won't increase, and if you reveal even the slightest bit of something and someone catches you doing something wrong, you'll immediately be thrown out as a scapegoat.
After putting in so much effort, is this the result? Was it worth it?
"Stop talking!"
Pollitt roared, but Yang Cheng didn't get angry. He just looked at Pollitt with calm eyes.
The Church of Light has always valued the concept of direct lineage in its selection of successors, and all its high-ranking officials are trained within the Church of Light from a young age.
Some were trained as knights, while others were trained as priests.
But regardless of the type, only those who have received baptism from the God of Light from childhood are qualified to rise to the higher levels within the Church of Light; otherwise, no matter how hard you try, it will be useless.
Pollitt is a typical example. He joined the Papacy late in his career, but was constantly suppressed and distrusted by the Papacy.
No matter how high his achievements are in his life, he will only reach the position of leader of the Night's Watch.
This is considered good. Whenever the Vatican encounters a thankless task, it will definitely be assigned to him, just like this assassination of Grace.
To put it bluntly, Pollitz was like a chamber pot—used when needed and discarded when no longer useful.
