"What happened?"

The Pope's voice was flat.

Even though, this situation... has never happened before.

The Pope had already sensed when he came out that the outside of the temple was under strict control by the guards.

And four cardinals have been waiting here.

Something must have happened.

The four cardinals did not stand up. They lowered their heads and glanced at each other out of the corner of their eyes.

It seems like they are passing the buck to each other. Who will be the first to take the lead?

Who will tell His Holiness what happened?

This could be fatal!

Others may not know this, including the heads of state and those who have come to pay homage to the Pope... They still think that the Pope is a true "sage" who is as calm as water.

But those who serve the Pope every day know it.

This is a moody person!

Although the status of cardinals is noble, it only distinguishes them from ordinary believers. They are just a little stronger.

No……

Maybe they are not as good as ordinary believers, at least they will not serve the Pope in person.

So as not to face the wrath of the Pope at any time.

Over the years, how many cardinals have been executed by the Pope in a fit of rage?

But even such a position is regarded by outsiders as second only to one person and above everyone else!

All the guards were fighting hard to become one of these four.

Replace them.

But no one knows that the price of such a high and powerful status is that they need to put their heads on their belts, just like now... no one dares to speak!

They are afraid of death!

On the one hand, he had to bear the possible wrath of the Pope at any time, and on the other hand, he had to be prepared to face the challenge of the guards who were eyeing him covetously outside the door.

If they couldn't withstand the Pope's casual attack, it would have been better if they didn't suffer any serious injuries or damage their strength.

Once anything goes wrong with their bodies, the guards behind them like hungry wolves will kill them directly!

No cardinal has a happy ending.

Among the four cardinals, except for the middle-aged Mr. Bill standing on the far right, who has followed the Pope since he took office and has unfathomable strength.

The remaining three are all newcomers in the past five years.

Although there was no clear ranking order among the four cardinals, they all unanimously followed Mr. Bill as the leader.

Because when necessary...

Mr. Bill will not sit idly by and do nothing about them. He is familiar with the Pope and will appease him when he is about to get angry... At least, he will not let the Pope really kill the cardinal.

But today…

Mr. Bill kept his head down the whole time.

Even he didn't dare to speak up, but the remaining three cardinals knew in their hearts that things seemed to be difficult...

"say."

That voice without any sadness or joy came out from the mouth of the man on the high platform again, as if he had not realized the seriousness of the matter at all? ..

Look straight down.

Except for Bishop Bill, the remaining three people slowly raised their heads and met this gaze.

finally……

Bishop Bob, who had only been a cardinal for a year, was the first to be unable to bear the depression in his heart.

He slowly said, "Great Mr. Pope, something happened..."

"The North American Church's attempt on China went awry this time. Several bishops were sent, and all of them were killed."

"The Archbishop of the North American Church, Kendis, personally entered Huaxia and was captured by Huaxia's Xuanwu Guardian. He has now been transported to the imperial capital."

"The informant said...Kendis has told everything he knows."

“…”

Bishop Bob wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

His mind was a little confused and he completely forgot to prepare for the incident, so he told the whole story.

After all, in his opinion.

Candice is the Archbishop of the Church of North America! He also knows a lot of inside information about the church.

He had lived through the Holy Mass and had met the Pope!

The inside stories about the church that he knows are not limited to the North American church!

As for that saint?

He didn't know what the Saint's role was...

In his eyes, Saint Ed was just a woman, and one who grew up in the North American Church and was captured by China. Her identity was just one of several bishops in North America.

Compared with this, Candice's capture is more important.

Bob's hand was still on his forehead, wiping the sweat away.

I wonder if the Pope will blame them.

"oh."

Sitting on the chair on the high platform, the man's words once again reached his ears.

Still unable to tell whether he was happy or angry, the tone was as if he had just heard... that he had lost a few dollars in cash.

Not to mention whether it would cause any injuries, no one even cared.

And this person is one of the richest people in the world.

Would the Pope care about a few dollars he lost?

In fact...Bishop Bob and others also knew that the Pope would not care too much about Candice being arrested.

He wouldn't get angry about something like this and kill them at will... then this cardinal is really worse than a dog.

What they are really worried about is.

Will the Pope blame them for their inaction during this period!

But that is China!

They are four cardinals...

Although the Pope never spoke of that mysterious land in the East, they all seemed to know it well. The Pope's attitude was... cautious.

That is why they dared not act rashly... or rush into China, even if they succeeded in killing Candice or brought him back alive.

If the Pope thinks that they acted on their own and alerted the enemy... they will not be able to escape death!

But now they have not taken any action and let the situation ferment. Will the Pope be angry?

but……

It seems that the Pope's answer will not vent his anger on them, right?

Bob let out a long breath, raised his head a little and looked up at the platform.

On the huge seat on the platform.

The man in the white robe tapped the armrest with his fingers, his head held down by a large hood.

In such dim light, his face was shrouded in shadow, and it was impossible to see what his facial features looked like, nor what expression he had at the moment.

"Is that all?"

The Pope spoke again, still tapping the armrest, his voice becoming more playful, "I didn't expect that the dual-powered archbishop would have such a stupid mind."

As he spoke, he even shook his head slowly.

“Don’t worry about what Candice will reveal. He doesn’t know what the real church is, and he has never felt the true love of the Heavenly Father.”

"But, China..."

He stopped all movements and his voice froze slightly.
