Obviously.
Although it didn’t seem like a big deal, or in the Pope’s eyes, Candice told Huaxia everything he knew.
It had no impact on the church itself, or on the Pope's plans for that mysterious land in the East.
but……
The situation is still not optimistic, otherwise the Pope's voice would not be so hesitant.
"I never thought that Candice would be captured alive by the weakest Black Tortoise Guardian among the four guards. This is beyond my expectation." The Pope's voice was a little condensed.
"How was he captured alive?"
the Pope suddenly asked.
As soon as these words came out, Bob knew that he had indeed become the one who stood out among these three old seniors.
The pressure he faces at this moment is quite enormous!
"Great Pope..."
Bob's voice was a little hoarse, and he was really a little overwhelmed. He never expected that the Pope would suddenly ask him this!
How should he answer this?
"Um?"
"He surrendered on his own... He entered China from Kendisi, entered the embassy, abandoned his original disguise as an official in North America, and was stuck in traffic when he walked out the door."
"Huaxia learned of Candice's identity information and facial features, and immediately arranged a helicopter after Candice left the embassy..."
"Then, in the southern suburbs of Shanghai, Candice went directly to the city."
“…”
Visible to the naked eye.
After receiving such an answer, Mr. Pope's fingers that were tapping the armrest inadvertently stopped.
I really didn't expect it to be like this...
"laugh!"
After a moment, the Pope suddenly sneered. Although he was surprised, he didn't think it was a big deal.
"What about you? Are you just waiting here for me to come out?" asked the Pope.
"Yes, great Mr. Pope... We dare not act on our own. After all, you care a lot about that piece of eastern land." Bob responded.
"Your choice is not wrong." The Pope nodded, "That piece of land will be of great use to me."
"Kendis...it's better not to keep him. Go and prepare, Mr. Bob, go to Huaxia and look for an opportunity to kill Kendis."
"Tell China that I may not have thought of taking action against them for the time being, but my people cannot be captured alive just because they say so." The Pope said lightly.
In the shadow under the white hood, the corners of the Pope's mouth seemed to slowly rise into a small arc.
This faint smile carries a chilling coldness that captivates the soul.
Bob was shocked and lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at him again.
None of them knew how powerful the man sitting on the podium was.
But they knew that even Bishop Bill, who had always followed the Pope, had no power to fight back in front of the Pope.
It's just that Mr. Pope needs a dog to help him deal with some messes.
Just like Candice right now.
"Yes, great Pope, the people are happy because of you, the sun is warm because of you, and faith makes them eternal. Thank you, thank God the Father." Bob said very respectfully.
"Go." The Pope waved his hand casually.
With a wave of his hand, the door of the palace opened.
This method made Bob secretly grin, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that he really saved his life today...
"yes."
Bob stood up slowly, intending to step back and leave here first.
As for going to China...
Even the imperial capital.
What if he broke into the prison where Candice was being held?
He understood the Pope's order, which was to face China with a high profile!
But... he can't go too far in China. He only needs to use tough measures to eliminate Candice and not cause a huge conflict for the time being.
Even when facing the gazes of the other three cardinals, he seemed to have forgotten to tell the Pope that the Saint had also rebelled...
That's up to the remaining three.
"etc."
Just as Bishop Bob began to retreat, the voice from the platform reached his ears again.
Bishop Bob paused.
"What else happened besides this?" the Pope asked again.
His voice gradually became still.
"Huaxia, how did you know of Kendis's two identities?"
"This... is because someone betrayed and leaked the news of Kendis's entry into China to the Chinese people in advance."
"So facing the dragnet set by China, Candis chose to surrender..."
Bob stopped speaking in defense of Candice in time. After all, in that situation, no one would risk his own life.
"After the first attempt failed, Archbishop Kendis decided to have several bishops lead their men into China to deal a complete blow."
"Of that group of bishops, only one survived."
"After this news spread back to North America, Kendis once again sent almost all of the remaining bishops into China."
"But unfortunately... China has already made clear preparations and sent back all travelers from North America."
"It's impossible even if you have a high status."
"Then……"
"Archbishop Kendis used his official identity to force his way in, but was betrayed by Bishop Ed, the only survivor..."
Bob's explanation continued, and the Pope, who had been listening attentively without any reaction, stood up instantly after the last name was spoken.
"What did you say! Who is it?!"
His voice rose several degrees!
It was as if he had heard some extremely shocking news, news that he couldn't believe at all!
Bishop Ed, betrayal?
Betrayed Kendis?
Bishop Ed...isn't he Saint Ed?
"Yes... Saint Eide. She was one of the many bishops sent to China by Archbishop Kendis, and the only one who survived."
"I wonder what consensus was reached with the Chinese in that valley in the southern suburbs..."
"Enough!" the Pope said angrily, interrupting Bishop Bob.
He only knew that Saint Ed had betrayed him, and that was enough!
But how could this be a betrayal?
It was he who went to North America in person and sealed the memory of Saint Ed. She was definitely the one least likely to betray!
How is it possible...
The four cardinals below also felt their scalps tingling for a moment.
After serving the Pope for so many years, they had never seen him so angry.
This was something we couldn’t even think about before!
Now it is so exaggerated because of a woman's betrayal?
That woman... a saint, what does she mean to the Pope?
They don't know.
But they all understood that things might be really serious.
“Damn it!”
"idiot!"
"How stupid!"
