Pollit stood before the towering, pure white stone pillars of the Church of Light, but his heart was filled with gloom.
The Night Watchmen were gradually being neglected by the higher-ups of the Church of Light, so they were assigned dirty and tiring jobs.
Assassinating Grace is simple, but the consequences of doing so could be significant or minor.
If no one else finds fault with him, that's fine, but if they do, the Holy See might throw him out as a scapegoat.
The Church of Light previously used the Hohenheim incident to stir up trouble, attempting to harm the Assyrian royal family and undermine their authority.
Then the royal family sent Grace to raid the Western District Papacy, exposing what that bastard Eddie had done, resulting in the death of a high-ranking archbishop in the street, which disgraced the Holy See.
The feud between the royal family and the Holy See has escalated to the point of bloodshed, with both sides trying to destroy each other.
However, both sides have one thing in common: they did not completely break off relations, and everything they did was within the rules and was reasonable and justified.
Now, Pollitt is going to assassinate Grace, which is actively escalating the war and breaking the rules. If he is caught, the two sides will really have to break off relations.
Therefore, if he fails and is caught red-handed, the Vatican will definitely throw him out as a scapegoat if they are unwilling to go to war.
The High Priest of the Temple of Gods wouldn't come to this kind of thing, nor would the Grand Masters of the three great knightly orders, yet the task was left to me.
Even though Pollitt harbored resentment, he had to do it, otherwise, if he offended a cardinal, he would have no place in the Papacy.
As night fell, the police station in the central district remained brightly lit.
Grace squinted as she took a sip of coffee, letting out a comfortable groan, but her eyes never left the file in her hands.
When he was in the West End, he could only drink cheap coffee with impure sugar added.
The benefits at the Central District Police Station are quite good. The coffee is rich and aromatic, with fresh milk, condensed milk, and delicate sugar cubes added. The taste is completely different from before.
Although the aristocrats in the central district now prefer to drink coffee without sugar, pursuing the original rich aroma of coffee, Grace still likes to add milk and lots of sugar, even though he is already quite fat.
While dealing with Eddie went smoothly, it also alerted the enemy.
The archbishops of the other districts all restrained themselves considerably, leaving Grace unable to make a move for the time being.
However, they have done too many dirty things, and a careful investigation can still find a lot. Grace is also preparing to step up her efforts and take action against another archbishop.
Just then, a shadow rose from the chair behind him.
The shadow actually emerged from his own shadow, and in the shadow's hand, a sharp blade materialized, piercing straight for Grace's neck!
Just then, a miniature version of the Five Immortals suddenly appeared around the shadows and twisted violently!
Under the Five Gods Moving Mountains, the shadow was instantly twisted into a bizarre angle. As blood splattered, Pollit let out a muffled groan, and his figure instantly escaped the shadow.
Because it was an assassination attempt, Pollitt was unable to use the Light God Magic.
However, what makes him most unique as the leader of the Night's Watch is that he not only knows the divine arts of light, but also some other evil secret arts, all of which he obtained from some extraordinary individuals who were suppressed or killed by the Night's Watch.
Before arriving, Pollitt had already done his research: Yang Cheng was in his apartment, and Master Morton was at the Alchemist's Guild.
There were no other superhumans at the Central District Police Station.
He never expected that Yang Cheng would be lying in ambush here!
Before Pollitt could react, Yang Cheng was almost in front of him in an instant, his face almost touching his!
Two small, blood-red swords appeared in Pollitt's hands, twisting and piercing Yang Cheng's ribs as if they were alive.
But Yang Cheng, surrounded by shimmering light, actually grasped his two small swords with both hands, and with his immense strength, he instantly pried his arms apart.
At the same time, Yang Cheng thrust out with both knees in succession, causing Pollit to groan several times as large gushes of blood gushed out.
Yang Cheng crushed the two blood-red scimitars in his hand. Pollitt quickly formed hand seals, and black mist condensed in his hands, as if countless wronged souls were wailing within it.
But before those wronged souls could roar and arrive, Yang Cheng slapped down, the powerful force instantly blasting them into fragments of their souls.
Then a hand reached out, grabbed Pollitt by the neck, and pinned him firmly against the wall.
"Don't struggle, or I'll strangle you."
Pollitt dared not move again, but his face was filled with despair.
At first, he was wary of Milton's instructions, so he dared not use the divine magic of light.
Now that he's in Yang Cheng's hands, there's no point in using him.
Yang Cheng's strength was far more terrifying than he had imagined!
When they fought against Homunculus together, Pollitt held back, so he didn't feel much pressure from the god.
Moreover, because Hormoncus was so strong, he didn't think Yang Cheng would be that powerful.
Now he finally understands just how vast the difference is between an existence capable of killing gods and someone like him who can be considered a master among ordinary superhumans!
Giving up the struggle, Pollitt smiled wryly and said, "I clearly saw you go back to your apartment, so why are you still here?"
Yang Cheng said calmly, "The Holy See of Light will certainly not let this go after suffering such a great loss, so I have been by Director Grace's side for the past two days."
As for what you saw, it was merely a dummy created through alchemy. This was easy for Master Morton, and you wouldn't dare approach it to examine it.
