Chapter 43 Andy's weakness?

"…What is it?"

"Because our use not only did not affect him, but it pushed him to achieve his real goal."

Father Matthew said firmly: "He only wants to cure the disease. Nothing else matters to him!"

"If I hadn't taken advantage of his mind, would I have given him potions so easily when facing a foreigner? Would I have given him the conditions to jump the queue and show his talent? Would I have trained him to be a semi-transcendent? Would I have let him settle down?"

"Even if he is extremely talented, if he is not one of us, why should I treat him like that?"

"Because of his great talent? Because of his miserable background?"

"But what does this have to do with me?"

"Maybe he can get all this through other channels, but will it be so smooth? As an ordinary person in a strange country?"

"Think about it, how much time has passed since the plane crash? What did he look like then? What does he look like now?"

"I still think you're overthinking..."

The deputy mayor frowned and said, "We can help him cure his illness, but it's only a temporary relief. When you take him to trade, how can he cure his illness?"

"Who am I trading with?" the priest asked.

"The House of York."

"What's in the York royal room?"

"...The Fountain of Immortality?"

"That's right, the Fountain of Immortality, the magical item that can completely cure his illness!"

"But even if he was caught by the royal family, he would not be able to touch that kind of rare item."

"It all depends on how we negotiate with the royal family, or on what occasion we deliver him to the royal family."

When he said this, a hint of admiration appeared on Father Matthew's face, as if he was impressed by Andy's strategy.

"Send him to the core group of the royal family, and then let him use the evil spirits to threaten the royal family, or even detonate the evil spirits to cause chaos in the royal family."

“Think about it, would we refuse to see that kind of scene?”

Of course I won’t refuse!

The black deputy mayor thought to himself that this was something he was really happy to see.

After the transaction was completed, the transaction partner was cheated. Would this lead to retaliation? Of course! However, this kind of thing is not uncommon in transactions at a certain level, and the corresponding "precautionary measures" are not lacking in the extraordinary world.

Otherwise, these rebels would not be qualified to make deals with a giant like the royal family - as soon as they sent Andy over, they would be turned against and eliminated by the royal family!

So, if this can really be done, it would be a great joy...

So, is this really what Andy planned? Unconsciously, the deputy mayor had gradually believed what the priest said.

"Unfortunately, even if everything goes well, the effect won't be great."

He then said with regret, "That evil spirit is a trouble to us, but to the royal family, it is just a small player."

"yes."

Father Matthew also sighed, "If the evil spirit was a little stronger, this plan would be perfect."

His face was full of pity.

I don’t know whether it’s a pity that the royal family cannot be frustrated by this, or it’s a pity that they can’t cooperate with Andy, the "enemy", without communication to make this perfect plan achieve the desired effect.

"This is Andy's flaw. He has lived in the secular world since he was a child and has seen too little. He has no idea how powerful the royal family is."

When he said this, Father Matthew's expression had returned to being cold.

It was as if the admiration and bitterness on his face before had never existed.

"His vision is very sharp, but the targets he observes are all low-level extraordinary people like us. The highest one is just the butler."

"Perhaps he thought that he could get a glimpse of the strength of the royal family from these people?"

"Unfortunately, he was too anxious and rushed to judgement."

"But that's true. His illness has tormented him for so long. Now that he sees hope, no one can sit still."

"Now that I think about it, the only thing to be thankful for is that he didn't know his father was a transcendent before, or he couldn't be sure. Otherwise, he could have gone to compete with the Crown Prince's teacher for the status of a student, and there would have been no need to take such a risky plan..."

After shaking his head, the priest put out the cigarette in his hand and continued to look at the scene in the crystal ball.

The deputy mayor also shifted his attention over, his eyes cautious, as if he was getting to know Andy all over again.

At this time, the "sharing session" there had ended, and extraordinary people of different ages were coming forward one by one, shaking Andy's hand and introducing themselves enthusiastically.

Some people have already left, while others have moved many experimental equipment and containers around the cabin.

Those were some equipment involved in making herbs and potions, and were also Andy's purpose for making money by "arranging music".

And now, he doesn't even need to spend any money, as someone has already taken the initiative to give him everything he wants.

“Will these people still have this attitude when the trading plan is made public?”

Looking at the enthusiastic faces in the crystal ball, the old black man was in a bad mood.

The people there were not all the extraordinary people in the organization, but just professionals who had ideas about the music scores.

There are psychics, wizards, and shamans.

The total number is not large, only about a dozen or so.

But these dozen people are basically the backbone members of the organization. Looking at the base below, the influence they can exert is not much weaker than that of Father Matthew.

However, once Father Matthew revealed his true plan to all the senior management, even if there were objections, they would not cause any waves.

Andy's genius is rare, but no matter how rare it is, he is just a child who has not grown up yet.

He may bring many miracles, and his intelligence may be extremely rare, but compared with the thousand-year heritage of the York royal family, what does it count for? If Andy alone can force the royal family into a corner, then the top leaders will not only not refuse, but will become very excited.

Because this is a turning point!

After being suppressed and humiliated by the royal family for many years, he can finally vent his anger and make a comeback!

Those who can join the resistance organization basically have a grudge against the royal family.

Who wouldn’t be happy to see their enemy about to suffer a defeat?

Not to mention, this will bring huge benefits, involving the future prospects of each of them...

In this situation, the morality and justice in one's heart will only be selectively forgotten.

I'm afraid that by then, those people who showed enthusiasm in the crystal ball will probably choose to keep silent...

"The only thing we need to pay attention to now is not to provoke Andy, otherwise he will open the suitcase and we will inevitably suffer a large number of casualties."

The old black man picked up the pipe again. While smoking, he asked in a serious tone, "Have you arranged a sniper?"

Obviously, between Andy and the deal that was about to come, he chose the latter without much hesitation.

No matter how powerful the evil spirit is, it cannot make up for the fact that Andy himself is very fragile.

If Andy can use evil spirits as a deterrent, then they can certainly use his life to threaten him and keep him in line.

What does it mean to be so soft-hearted that everyone in the entire organization stays away from you?

They could not resist the York royal family, a behemoth that held authority and made the rules.

But a little boy...

"From the beginning, we arranged for a gunsmith to keep a secret watch."

Father Matthew replied, "But violent coercion is a very low-level method. I don't think that method can be used."

"Low level?"

The old black man was surprised when he heard this: "Why, do you have some advanced means to restrain him?"

"I told you, I'm always thinking about him."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The priest stared at the crystal ball and said, "Discovering his temptation is just one of the rewards."

"…What else could there be?"

"certainly."

The priest said without even looking up: "He is decisive and very smart, but he does have a weakness."

"What weakness?"

“He’s a good man.”

"……?"

"After the Holy Temple Assessment, not only did the boy suffer, but the hotel he stayed in was also torn into ruins. The hotel owner and his wife suffered terribly, and they are probably still being tortured by others."

"But you know, at the beginning, the child consciously chose that hotel, not just a random one."

"Conscious?"

The deputy mayor was surprised when he heard this. "You mean, he has a premonition that wherever he lives, there will be bad luck?"

"He just planned for the worst."

Father Matthew replied, "Otherwise, that hotel is dirty and messy, and the owner has a bad attitude. Who would choose to live there?"

Upon hearing this, the deputy mayor smacked his lips and said nothing, feeling very complicated.

Matthew, who was staring at the crystal ball, added casually, "Later, I arranged for the Kozia family to contact him, and the conclusion we reached was even more certain."

"What does this have to do with the Kozias?" the deputy mayor asked in astonishment, "Do they also know about your trading plan?"

"Of course not."

Matthew replied, "I mean, the Kezia family is the most favorable choice for Andy."

"What's the meaning?"

"Andy has a quarter of Far Eastern ancestry. Old Kezia is an islander who married into the family. The environment he lives in is very Far Eastern style. His granddaughter Lily showed goodwill to the boy during the assessment."

"Although Lily's father, Kozia, is ugly, he has a kind personality and does not act like an elder to boys... For all these reasons, Andy is unlikely to have any ill will towards them."

"Uh... I don't understand."

"He has an evil spirit on his hands."

Matthew patiently explained: "After realizing that we were plotting against him, he actually had another choice, which was to kill all of the Kezia family and then seize their resources."

"Even if he didn't do that, when he was sent to this island, he already had the Extraordinary Scroll and a month's worth of potions."

"These things are enough to give him enough time to consider other options instead of risking his life by being controlled by us."

"Why didn't he just run away?"

"Because he wants to escape, we have to deal with the little Kozia who is escorting him first. But the little Kozia is a transcendent who is not afraid of worldly means. If we want to deal with him, we must use evil spirits."

"The evil spirit is out of his control. Once it is used, little Kozia will die..."

At this point, Father Matthew shook his head and said, "So I say he is a good man. Or rather, he is someone who doesn't want to hurt innocent people."

"People like this may be smart, but they are also the easiest to be manipulated."

“…”

To be precise, they are most easily manipulated by people like you.

The deputy mayor admired silently.

If Andy is really as smart as the other party said, then who is the priest who sees this smart man from the inside out? A cold-blooded politician?

Or is it the evil rational mastermind behind this?

If Andy hadn't discovered all this, the title of "the mastermind" would be very appropriate.

Andy discovered it, but still couldn't get rid of the priest's control, so it's appropriate to regard Matthew as a cold-blooded politician...

Unconsciously, the old black man named Kenny began to feel a sense of awe towards the middle-aged priest.

Even though the other person is younger than him and his status in the organization is not as high as his.

But this person's thoughts and methods...

But on the surface, there was no change in him.

"How do you plan to trade with the royal family? We must negotiate first before the transaction, right?"

The old black man smoked his pipe again and asked, "But even for Bishop Norman, it's not easy to get in touch with the royal family, let alone you."

"It's not easy, but we have the best helper who can help us facilitate the negotiations."

Matthew replied, a smile flashing across his face.

"If this helper knew our plan, he would definitely stand on our side."

"who?"

"housekeeper."

"Let Andy's housekeeper go."

Thank you all for reading and voting~~ 　　I would like to express my gratitude here!
