Chapter 59 Investigating Andy

When Father Matthew first mentioned the plan to use the situation to force Andy into the organization, many people opposed it.

This is not because of any guilt, or because rescuing the boy would result in the loss of manpower.

Rather, doing this would expose the opposition organization, which was originally hiding in the dark, to the sight of the butler and even the royal family.

This is very disadvantageous for the organization.

It is hard to say whether it is worthwhile to exchange it for a boy who is very talented but needs years of training before he can be used.

Until the priest claimed that he would send an absolutely reliable person to carry out the most exposed rescue link without implicating the organization itself.

They reluctantly agreed to the plan.

It turns out that Father Matthew is very organized.

The police chief who rescued Andy was not reliable, but he was obviously a pawn. Although he confessed, the information he provided was either wrong or misleading.

No matter how angry the butler was about capturing the abandoned child, he did not realize who were the people who were truly against him.

The top management then breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, now they realized that they relaxed too early! "If we hadn't rescued that damn boy, how could we have suffered such a huge loss now?"

The person who spoke ignored Father Matthew, but instead looked at the "mummy weirdo" at the head of the conference table, and said angrily: "Decades of hard work have been destroyed just like that. Someone must stand up and take responsibility for such a heavy price!"

"That's right."

Another senior executive said in a deep voice: "The people on the island don't know what happened yet, but if the passage is closed for a long time, they will find something unusual sooner or later."

"Many people's relatives are on land. If we don't handle it properly, there will be chaos..."

"This matter won't end until someone dies."

"Matthew should die! That boy should die too!"

"Shouldn't we first discuss what to do next?"

"Besides hiding and waiting for the royal family to calm down, what else can we do?"

“…”

The discussions continued without any concealment, as if Father Matthew was not there at all.

It was obvious that these people no longer thought that he had any chance of survival, and the reason was still the same - someone had to take responsibility for the decision to cut off the organization's survival!

Even Matthew alone wasn't enough, not even with the boys.

As the meeting continued, the few people who had stood on Matthew's side and agreed to his plan at the beginning also became targets of criticism! As for whether this would make the already heavy losses of the organization even worse?

In the current bleak situation, the top leaders no longer care about making things worse due to the possibility of civil unrest caused by improper handling!

In response, the gray-haired Father Matthew remained expressionless.

Sitting in the middle of the conference table, looking at the chaotic atmosphere around him, he was no longer angry, but instead had a smile in his eyes.

Because the current situation seems to be extremely unfavorable to him, but in reality it is not the case -

Those who had supported his decision were also annoyed by the sudden disaster.

But now, being attacked by other senior officials, they can only choose to protect Matthew.

In other words, choose to protect yourself.

"It was indeed Matthew who we supported first, but you didn't object later, right?"

"If not all members support it, can this plan be passed?"

"And this incident is obviously unusual. Why didn't we get hit when we rescued the boy in the beginning, but now there's an accident all of a sudden?"

“Why has the royal family become so angry?”

"It's obviously related to the butler..."

The chaotic situation in the meeting room did not escalate as the dispute continued, but instead gradually became "clearer".

Because there were indeed many strange things about the matter, although the top executives were angry, they did not completely lose their emotions after all.

As long as we participate in the discussion, the confrontation will be greatly alleviated.

So unknowingly, the atmosphere became relatively relaxed.

Seeing this, Father Matthew, who had remained silent the whole time, secretly glanced at the black deputy mayor who had been looking at him.

The other party immediately caught the signal.

After a brief hesitation, he coughed loudly, and then, with everyone looking at him, he said in a serious tone: "We may have made a fatal mistake!"

"What's wrong?"

"The housekeeper didn't pay much attention to boys before, because it was impossible for a boy to compete for the position of disciple due to his family background. But what if family background is no longer a problem?"

"You mean, Matthew made a mistake in the investigation?"

Apparently someone didn't want to let the priest go, and immediately asked, "Doesn't this require more accountability?"

"That may be the case."

The deputy mayor nodded first, then said, "But everyone knows who Matthew is. Would he make such a low-level mistake?"

The abilities and methods of the Chief Exorcist are still convincing to others.

Moreover, the priest’s character has been tested over the years and is unanimously recognized by everyone.

So, after these words were spoken, although there were still a few people who looked indignant, most people actually calmed down.

"If the boy is not of ordinary origin, but of extraordinary origin, then as long as someone stronger than Matthew has covered up for him, Matthew will naturally not be able to find out anything."

“Could it be possible that the teacher’s discriminatory character was wrong?”

"Impossible, this has been proven by many deeds, how could it be wrong?"

"But what if someone higher than that teacher gives the order?"

"Yes, as a classmate of the Crown Prince, is it possible that the Imperial High Command will allow him to make his own decisions?"

"The royal family is so angry now, obviously they know something..."

"Do they think that the boy is a threat in our hands?"

"threaten?"

As soon as this word appeared, the meeting room fell completely silent.

Everyone looked at each other and no one spoke for a long time.

The priest's trading plan was not difficult to guess, but they usually fell into a misconception.

That is, they feel that boys are not competitive, but subconsciously they have never thought of betraying their own people.

But now, as the situation led to the royal family's obviously abnormal large-scale actions, this layer of window paper was naturally broken! Moreover, it was smoother than the priest taking the initiative to speak out! Not all high-level officials are conscienceless or can't see the harm of such things.

They may eventually compromise, but they will certainly object in the process and require constant persuasion.

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

On the other hand, Andy's lectures in the past few days also brought him great benefits.

At least some of the extraordinary people on the island like Andy very much and look forward to Andy's growth.

For the priest, this is an opposing force that cannot be underestimated.

But now, under the coercion of the situation, these so-called opposition forces have all remained silent! "If the royal family really thinks we are threatening them with the boy."

Seeing this, the black deputy mayor spoke again, "Then those of us who stay on the shore will not really lose our lives. They will only be used by the royal family as bargaining chips."

"That's right."

Someone nearby agreed, "The royal family may seem angry, but isn't it actually fearful? People like them will definitely prepare for the worst before doing anything."

What was the worst plan? Of course, when they found that they couldn't find the boy's hiding place, they compromised with the rebels.

And it won’t take long at all.

Because that teacher will be back in more than a month! And if the royal family compromises... what will happen to the organization? Some words were left unsaid, but the expressions on their faces were no longer gloomy as before.

The atmosphere in the entire conference room also became relaxed.

Simply suffering a huge loss, everyone will be angry, and when they are extremely angry, they need to find someone to vent their anger on! But it turns out that this matter has not reached the worst extent.

If it is done well and even brings huge profits, people's anger will simply dissipate.

Then, after feeling nervous, he felt ecstatic! Thus, a crisis that could have been fatal was easily handled by Father Matthew.

Not only that, those who were previously attacked by other senior executives like him have now become his potential allies! "This period of time will be very difficult, but as long as we get through it, everything will be fine, and the development of the organization will completely move to a new level."

A senior executive who once liked Andy very much was the first to make a proposal for this.

"The contract, negotiation process, method, venue, all of these need to be carefully considered, and..."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "The most important thing is that nothing happens to the boy. The job transfer resources we prepared for him should be distributed to others now. We can't give it to him, so as to avoid any disturbance."

"I think he should be put in a dungeon." Another person added, "Living by the sea is still risky."

"That's right."

The third person immediately chimed in, "He is weak. What if he slips while walking and falls into the sea and drowns?"

"But the dungeon environment isn't very good. What if I get sick?"

"He is a semi-transcendent being, not that fragile..."

No one cares what Andy thinks anymore, and no one cares.

Because from this moment on, Andy was just a bargaining chip in their eyes, a bargaining chip for trading.

Father Matthew, who was watching the discussion around him coldly, actually thought the same.

Andy is very smart, has a keen eye, plans things out, and has amazing talent.

But the weakness is too obvious.

He is physically fragile, has limited vision, and has character flaws.

Although an unexpected event occurred in the plan today and the organization suffered heavy losses, he was almost defeated in one fell swoop.

But after careful consideration, the priest did not think that this accident had anything to do with Andy.

His main suspect was that the butler was being followed by someone from the royal family, which was why the news was leaked.

This made him secretly reflect on himself. He felt that he was not careful enough and cautious enough, which almost led to a big mistake.

As for Andy being able to use a letter and a childish and impulsive nun to run errands, and command Norman, the useless old turtle, to dig for clues and bring down the butler...

This possibility did not even occur to his mind.

That's so funny, like a joke!

…

The priest would not think that way.

But at this moment, some people were pondering the possibility of this matter with deep surprise.

"A little boy, a young girl, and an old softie like you..."

Standing in the bishop's bedroom, the Duchess of Anjou put her hands on her hips and looked suspiciously at the old Norman who was shivering at the foot of the bed, wrapped in a white sheet and looking terrified.

"Can you get that butler out of office?"
