Chapter 280 Please, give my daughter back to me
As night fell, the outside became increasingly lively, and people gathered in Xingning Square.
Tonight is one of the highlights of the Star God Cultural Week, and the Holy See will bless the believers on behalf of the Star God.
"Tonight, everyone will first receive candles distributed by the Vatican staff at Xingning Square, and then walk together to the Xingertang Vatican, two kilometers away. At ten o'clock tonight, paper lanterns similar to our country's Kongming lanterns will be released by everyone.
The candle we are holding in our hands is placed in the center of the lantern.
It feels like it will be a romantic scene like in Tangled!
I’m so looking forward to it!”
Cheng Yue held a candle in his hand and excitedly made a scissors hand gesture to the camera.
Chu Xiaoxiao, who was standing next to Cheng Yue, answered the question in the live broadcast room: "The candles haven't been lit yet. We have to wait until the time comes for everyone to light the candles together. Don't worry about safety. There are many fire trucks parked on both sides of the street.
I also heard that this is a traditional event of the Xing Er Tang Xing Shen Cultural Week and there have been no problems for many years.
It's really nice here, the temperature is just right now, and the climate here is very suitable for retirement vacation. I feel my skin has improved a lot.
Is it huge? "
Chu Xiaoxiao and Cheng Yue looked at each other, and Cheng Yue smiled at the camera and said, "Our Yangyang is amazing. She represented our small team to accept official interviews and cooperate with some official activities.
That's why he wasn't with us for the past two days.
As for Village Chief Xiao Kong, we are not quite sure about her words. After all, Village Chief Xiao Kong has always been quite... free, just... everyone knows that she comes and goes without a trace, and we don't often see her.
To be honest, I always feel that Village Chief Xiao Kong might be a subtle product of some supernatural or super-scientific phenomenon...
Right! She is a real boss, how dare we mortals ask her whereabouts?
Ask something else!
Huh? Big screen, you mean the big screen in the back?
We don’t know either. It seems to have been filled with Roman numerals all the time. It seemed to have been thirteen at the beginning, and now it has reached nine.
Countdown or something...
I don’t know either~”
While Cheng Yue was explaining the Roman numerals on the big screen behind him, the Star God Church was already in chaos.
"The time is almost up, and there's no news of the missing noble. What's going on?" The Vatican staff were as anxious as ants on a hot pan: "Your Excellency, the guards outside have no intention of leaving. If the believers see this, then..."
Dent had clearly taken the three Chinese away today, so there should have been no problem. But for some reason, as the numbers on the screen decreased, news of the disappearance of royal family members came one after another, and the guards came back.
The place was surrounded tightly.
It seems like they have already identified them as the murderers!
This is simply too much!
They are the closest beings to the Star God, how dare the royal family do this!
Aren’t you afraid of the punishment from the Star God?
Everyone looked at Bishop Gwat anxiously and fearfully, hoping to get a solution from him.
Bishop Gwart said nothing.
In order to prove his innocence to Dante today, he had broken the last spare heirloom staff. He didn't know how to proceed tonight, and now this terrible thing happened.
Bishop Gwart's expression grew darker and darker, and he could no longer act with his usual kindness and compassion.
"I will contact the eldest princess personally. You just need to do your own thing." Bishop Gwat said this and went straight upstairs.
As soon as he entered the study, Bishop Gwat picked up the cup on the table and wanted to throw it on the ground to vent his anger, but he was afraid that the strange noise would alarm the frightened believers, so he could only endure it and put the cup back in its place. However, his eyes, which were red with anger, were reflected in the window, revealing his mood at the moment.
If he didn't tear those people from the Viper Gang into pieces, he wouldn't be the Archbishop Gwat of Xingertang!
Taking a deep breath to temporarily suppress his anger, Bishop Gwat dialed Winnie's number from the address book.
After a long time, the call was not answered, and Gwart's expression became more and more impatient.
Now even Winnie doesn’t answer my calls?
"You ungrateful bastard! Don't you ever think about the fact that if it weren't for me, would you have become Princess Xing Ertang?" Bishop Gwat cursed softly, thinking that Winnie was really going too far.
If it wasn't her, how could Winnie be chosen to be the eldest princess of Xing Ertang.
Now that the Holy See is in trouble, she immediately avoids it and cuts off contact.
Selfishness is really ingrained in his bones!
Although he cursed in his heart, Bishop Gwat knew that the problem would exist forever if it was not solved. It was useless for him to vent his anger now, so he could only dial the number of another contact.
This time, the call was connected not long after.
"King Leon." Bishop Gwat's voice was filled with suppressed anger. "Today is a great day for the Star God Church. What's the point of sending so many guards to block the door of the Church at this time?"
"You ask me?" King Leon's tone was icy. "Gwart, now I should ask you, where did you take everyone?"
"You doubt me?" Gwart frowned. "Can't you see that this is such an obvious frame-up?"
"With Black Thirteen in front of me, I have to doubt you."
When King Leon mentioned Black Thirteen, the fire seemed to reappear before Gwart's eyes.
The flames shooting up into the sky and the thick smoke stung people's eyes.
He rushed in with all his might, picked up the unconscious child, and ran out of the fire.
The flames ate away at his robes, and the sparks landed on the corners of his eyes, causing him severe pain.
He didn't dare delay, he had to speed up and work harder...
Every extra person we can save is a...
To this day, he can still seem to recall the pain of his eyes being burned by smoke, the agony of his nose being choked by cigarette ash, and the unspeakable burning and anxiety.
"Leon," Gwart's voice was low: "This matter really has nothing to do with me."
"I'm sorry, I can't believe you."
Gwat took a deep breath, a hint of self-mockery in his eyes: "Really? As a king, you abandoned the Church, right? Just like back then, you can abandon everything for your own will, right?
You have always been like this, you have never changed.
In the name of love, you repeat all the hurtful things, hurting your people, hurting the Holy See, and hurting everyone you shouldn't hurt!
You never change."
"Gwart, I know you hate me because of Vivian, but this time, I beg you..." King Leon was interrupted by Gwart before he could finish his words.
"You have no right to mention Vivian to me! She should have been your queen! She should have been the most noble woman in this country. This was decided by my father and the previous king!
Vivian was raised as your queen since she was young, and it has always been like this!
Always! You've betrayed her! Just like you've betrayed the Church and your faith!
You, the king, are like this, let alone the eldest princess!
Where's Winnie?"
"Winnie is missing." King Leon's voice was filled with tears: "Please, give my daughter back to me..."
"!" Gwatt was startled when he heard the sound, and then he heard a knock on the door.
A member of the church pushed open the door, sweating profusely: "Bishop, the number on the screen has turned to eight! Princess Winnie is missing!"
Gwatt took a deep breath when he heard the sound, as if he finally realized the importance of the problem.
That Viper Gang... is serious!
