"How could something happen to Sophia? Didn't she go to see Anna?"
Sitting in the car, I expressed the question in my heart: "They are biological sisters. Anna shouldn't harm Sophia, right?"
"What happened to Sophia? What happened to her?"
Yevgeny next to me raised her eyebrows at me: "She just had a dispute with Anna. The two of them were probably hiding somewhere to talk, deliberately not wanting to be found, but with her ability there shouldn't be any danger.
This matter is about the Holy See. I just got a call from there saying that Jonathan Albert suddenly fell ill this morning and the progress of the negotiations may be delayed. As envoys of the Orthodox Holy See, of course you and I have to go visit and send greetings. Just
It’s a pity that Sophia was not found, she should have been there as well.”
"Huh? Albert has a sudden illness?"
I was a little confused: "How could a person with his status and strength suddenly suffer from a serious illness? Did the other party say what kind of illness it was, heart disease or cerebral congestion?"
"No, it seems like he was poisoned."
Yevgeny frowned: "This is very intriguing. The dignified Pope in Rome would be poisoned in his own villa. This is simply outrageous. You can imagine how chaotic they are now."
"Damn it, this is so surprising..."
I was shocked by what he said, and Bennett's figure immediately appeared in my mind.
Could it be this kid? He just finished talking to me last night about assassinating Albert and said he would wait for my reply, but this morning he couldn't help but poison his grandfather?
This is unreasonable.
Yevgeny nodded slightly: "It is indeed surprising, but fortunately the other party also said that Albert was nothing serious. After all, as the pope, he has sufficient divine power, and the remaining toxins were forced out by several bishops.
It’s just that his body is a little weak and he is recuperating at home at the moment. When he arrives later, Mr. Gu had better check Albert’s body in a symbolic way, just to go through the motions.”
"Understood, my acting skills are quite good."
Under the guidance of the navigation system, the car gradually drove towards the outskirts of Rome.
After waiting for the place, I discovered that this was not a villa at all, but a winery. However, due to the season, the grapes in the manor were all ripe and picked, so it was obviously empty.
However, the castle in the winery is very impressive. There are more than a dozen cars with special license plates parked outside the castle. People from the Holy See must have gotten the news and came to visit.
As soon as I got out of the car, Bennett came up to me with the butler I met last night: "Mr. Gu, please take a step to speak."
After all, there were many people watching around him. The smile on his face was very kind and his every move was very gentlemanly, but I still noticed the cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"Okay, Mr. Bishop, you go in first, I will be there soon."
I turned around and said hello to Yevgeny, and I followed Bennett. After walking more than ten steps, I asked him in a low voice: "Your grandfather, what is the situation of His Excellency Pope Albert now?"
"Mr. Gu, please don't worry. Grandpa is in good health."
As if he felt unsafe, he changed the topic and stopped after walking a few dozen meters and reaching a remote corner.
Pushing the entourage aside, Bennett said in a cold tone: "Mr. Gu, you acted so quickly. We just talked about this matter last night, and before you gave me a reply, you actually took action directly.
I don’t admit that your efficiency is very high, but your methods are really not that good. Cyanide can definitely kill ordinary people with one hit, but using it to deal with the Pope would be too disrespectful to the Holy See!"
I understand, Bennett thought I was the one who did it.
So I shook my head at him: "You misunderstood. I had been discussing things with my friends last night, and I just sent her away in the early morning. I had not arranged this action.
Moreover, I haven’t decided whether to agree to cooperate with you, nor have I discussed specific details such as remuneration with you, so how can I do it directly?”
Bennett frowned: "Not you? Who could it be?"
"I don't know who it is."
Glancing at the butler not far away, I sneered at Bennett: "Instead of rushing to put the shit basin on my head, I would rather ask my subordinates to see if they want to show off in front of you before they assassinate me.
pope."
"Impossible, it is impossible for my people to act on their own initiative and act without my orders."
"Whatever you say, it has nothing to do with me anyway."
Pretending to raise my arm and looking at my watch, I asked him indifferently: "Is there anything else going on with Mr. Bennett? If nothing happens, then as an envoy, I have to go check on His Holiness the Pope first.
Also, since you don’t trust me, there is no way to talk about cooperation. Don’t worry, I will forget what you said to me last night and just pretend that we have never met.”
"etc!"
Before I could turn around, Bennett called me first.
His expression was a little tangled, but he recovered quickly, with a particularly fake smile on his face: "I'm sorry, Mr. Gu, I was too impatient. I'm sorry if I offended you."
I don't care at all whether he apologizes or not: "That's not the point, Mr. Bennett. If you really want to cooperate with me, then you and I should establish enough trust, instead of you still being suspicious after I deny it."
Continuing to question me is really irritating.
But since this is the first time, I don’t have to worry about it, but you must compensate me for ruining my good mood throughout the day.”
"No problem, what does Mr. Gu want?"
Looking around, a lewd smile appeared on Bennett's lips again: "How was Lilith's service last night? If you are interested, I can ask her to go to the hotel to find you in the name of the Holy See tonight to complete the task.
Theological ‘deep communication’.”
I sneered: "I'm not interested, she's too timid."
This sudden car made Bennett confused for a long time. After hesitating for a few seconds, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand what Mr. Gu means. Yes, trying something new is what every man likes.
How about this? There is a saint in the Holy See who is very primitive in figure, appearance, and temperament. She has always been by my grandfather's side, and she is still somewhat related to me by blood. I am not sure what to do.
But if Mr. Gu is interested, I can try to help you match him up, but whether you can win or not depends on Mr. Gu’s own abilities."
Looking at his lewd smile, I felt that Bennett was playing dirty tricks.
Even a fool understands that with his virtues as a pervert, he doesn't care about blood relations at all. If the saint could be easily dealt with, he would have done it himself.
But it doesn't matter, my mind is not here anyway, so I just followed his words and said: "The person who can get such praise from you must be good. Well, let's go in and take a look."
"Haha, I guarantee your satisfaction,"
With a cold light flashing in his eyes, Bennett stretched out his hand toward the castle and said, "Please!"
