Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, just from the tone of the person on the other end of the phone, Odal knew that the current situation was not good for him.
However, since Miss Adeline wants to see him, perhaps it means there's still a chance for things to turn around?
With that in mind, Audar didn't hesitate. He quickly washed up, tidied himself up, changed his clothes, and tried his best to look less depressed and haggard, appearing before Adeline in a good spirits.
"I thought you wouldn't come to see me anymore!"
Upon meeting Odal, Adeline showed none of the caution and timidity she had displayed in front of Odessa; instead, she revealed her most proud and noble side.
The woman slightly raised her chin, and her tone was full of sarcasm as soon as she spoke.
"How could that be? It's just that something suddenly happened at the Vatican that I haven't dealt with yet..."
As Audrey pulled out the seat opposite Adeline to sit down, he began to explain, but before he could finish, Adeline interrupted him rudely: "Weren't you already dismissed? What else do you need to handle?!"
"You...you knew all along!"
Odal was taken aback. He had originally intended to keep it a secret, but now it seemed that it was impossible to hide it at all!
"You think you can hide something this big from me?!" Adeline sneered, looking at Odal as if he were an idiot. "I know what you're thinking, trying to make a comeback?!"
But with those people standing in the middle, how can you possibly clear your name of the smears now plaguing you?!
If it weren't for those people, you would still be the high-ranking head of the Vatican in the smog-ridden country, one of the bishops with the best chance of returning to the Vatican headquarters!
But everything was ruined after those people came!
Are you willing to accept this?!
Adeline's words unconsciously carried a seductive tone. She leaned forward, her entire body resting on the table, looking at Odal with a hint of ambiguity.
Are you willing to accept this?!
That's definitely something to be unwilling to accept!
Odal's mind was completely muddled by the fragrance emanating from Adeline's proximity. He seemed to have no recollection of what Adeline said next, nor did he care about what he had agreed to!
Even as he walked out of the coffee shop in a daze, he still couldn't remember what he had just said to Adeline.
It seems he's being sent to see Bishop Thomas?!
...
At this moment, Hu Yue also met Bishop Thomas.
This wasn't the first time Hu Yue had met Bishop Thomas, so after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hu Yue got straight to the point.
She explained the matter of the Puppet Clan very simply and clearly. Then, she recounted to Bishop Thomas the events concerning St. John's Cathedral, the recent visit to the Vampire Holy Land, and all the things that had happened in China.
Bishop Thomas did not interrupt Hu Yue's story. He listened very attentively, and after a long silence, he finally spoke: "So, Odal is involved in this matter?!"
“I think it would be more convincing to hear this from one of your deceased friends.”
As Hu Yue was speaking, someone pushed open the door to the private room and walked in from outside.
When the man lifted the hood of his cloak, Thomas jumped up from his seat in shock: "Reynolds?! You, you weren't already..."
Thomas still remembers the report that was sent up, which stated that Reynolds was dead.
Although the specific reason was not explained, how could someone who was already dead in his mind...
“That’s right, I am indeed dead.” Reynolds didn’t try to hide it; he simply rolled up his sleeves and showed Thomas the curse marks on his arm.
I only managed to borrow a little time from my friend, old John.
Reynolds's honesty has actually increased the credibility of his words considerably.
Because of his previous investigation, Reynolds had a more thorough understanding of the situation at the Vatican in the Smog Kingdom. He easily handed over the series of evidence he had collected to Thomas.
Then, he did not hide anything and told Thomas everything he had encountered in the Vatican.
"Although Odal was not the mastermind behind these events, he was definitely an accomplice!"
He exploited the believers' trust in the Vatican and used the pretext of baptism by the Holy Water at St. John's Cathedral to distribute contaminated holy water to the saints.
The effects of this holy water are not a blessing from God, but a curse from the devil!
Their luck will be gradually stolen away, and ultimately, their souls will become sacrifices, used as nourishment for the resurrection of demons!
At this point, Reynolds couldn't help but recall the scene he had witnessed at the underground holy pool, and his expression grew even more grim: "Bishop Thomas, the Vatican here in the Misty Kingdom has long been corrupted by evil spirits!"
I don't deny that there may be many good kids here who are kept in the dark, but people like Odal and Marcus have long since become accomplices and lackeys of those demons!
I will tell you everything I know today in the hope that you will come forward and thoroughly investigate the matter concerning the Vatican in the Haze Country!
I don't want any more innocent believers to be harmed!
Reynolds knew very well why he had been able to hold on until now.
