This sudden statement made the old man raise his eyebrows.
Regardless of whether Albert could understand it or not, I didn’t want to get entangled with him anyway: “I hate beating around the bush. Your Holiness, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. If there’s nothing else, I’ll trouble you.”
If you have anything to say, say it directly."
Waited three seconds.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of speaking, I raised my butt and was about to walk out, but Lisa, who had been standing behind him, blocked my way: "Who allowed you to leave?"
I ignored her, walked around her with my hands behind my back, and bumped her shoulder along the way.
This provocative action made the woman's eyes freeze instantly. I had just taken two steps and suddenly felt a warning sign in my heart. A wave of divine power came from Lisa and hit me directly on the back.
"I'm so fucking embarrassed for you."
That divine power was not very strong and there was no need to hide, but it made me very angry.
I gathered the lunar power in my body to neutralize it without giving the woman any chance to resist. I rushed forward and clamped her neck, staring at Albert sitting on the sofa: "This is the way the Holy See treats guests.
Tao? I understand."
'Well……'
A muffled groan came from the depths of Lisa's throat. She stretched out her hand to grab my arm, clawing at it with ten long nails. Her actions actually made me put more strength on my hand, which made Lisa roll her eyes.
, I was almost out of breath at the sight of it.
Until I couldn't kill Lisa, Albert didn't panic and asked me with that very indifferent expression: "What is Mr. Gu doing?"
"Why are you asking me?"
He picked up Lisa in front of him and threw it onto the bed with all his strength: "Didn't you see that this woman attacked me first?"
"Saw it."
"Then you still ask?"
"What I'm curious about is why Mr. Gu had such a big reaction."
There was a playful look in the eyes of the old silver coin: "I just want to discuss the issue of ambition with you, and I would like to remind you, because as far as I know, Mr. Gu only agreed to go with you because of the saint named Sophia.
In cooperation with the Orthodox Holy See.
There is an old saying among you that a hero has to endure the beauty crisis. What’s more, Mr. Gu is in his prime of life. I am afraid that you will be taken advantage of by the Romanov family and get involved in this dispute for no reason, so I will kindly remind you.
.
I didn’t expect that instead of being grateful, you actually injured my niece. As a guest, this kind of behavior is really inappropriate. You made me very disappointed."
Putting on a posture of hating iron but not steel, Albert pretended to shake his head.
His hypocritical behavior made me feel disgusted and I didn't give him a good look: "You don't need to remind me, I know whether I am being used or not. Also, please don't forget, Your Holiness, I am here to deal with it on behalf of the Orthodox Holy See."
this dispute.
But your current behavior makes me feel offended. I will report this matter to the Patriarch and the Ecumenical Council and let them protest against you. Once this negotiation fails, you will definitely not be able to escape the accusation of deliberately provoking disputes.
That’s it.”
I really don't want to sound official, and I don't really want to do things in the name of the Orthodox Church.
But when facing Albert, I found that it was impossible not to speak in a bureaucratic tone. The old silver coin kept slandering me from the beginning of the meeting, and went around in circles without getting to the point.
Then why don't you go around me and I won't give you any serious talk? I'm pretty good at using magic to defeat magic.
There was silence for two minutes with big eyes and small eyes.
Albert sat on the sofa without saying a word, taking a sip from the coffee cup.
I wasn't in a hurry, so I took out a cigarette and smoked it, trying to see what twists and turns this old man was going to play with me.
Taking advantage of this moment, Lisa, who had just been pinched by me and rolled her eyes, recovered. She calmed down her tone, glared at me, silently gathered her divine power in her body, and looked like she was about to take action.
Waiting for Albert's orders.
"Okay Mr. Gu, you said you don't like to beat around the bush, then let's talk about business."
Putting the cup on the table, Albert stood up and walked to the bedside, looking at the courtyard downstairs: "I hope you abandon the Orthodox Church and turn around and cooperate with me."
His words were so suspenseful that I couldn't help but tremble: "What do you mean, are you trying to bribe me?"
"Yes, I just want to bribe you. Believe me, the benefits I can give you can never be given by the Orthodox Church."
Albert's tone was low now and seemed very serious. He completely put aside the pretentiousness just now: "I know you very well, and like I said, you chose this girl nominally because of that girl named Sophia.
Cooperation with the Orthodox Church.
I admit that the girl is very beautiful, but this meager bargaining chip is not enough to make you and the people behind you go all out to do things for them. If I am not wrong, Mr. Gu's ambitions are far beyond that."
Having said this, he suddenly turned around and stared at me with that emotionless look: "Your real goal is the entire Orthodox Church. Sophia is just an excuse. You want to train her into a puppet. In her name,
Rule the Orthodox Church, right?"
Before I could speak, Albert continued like a barrage of words: "Zhuo Yi, this old guy who has been entrenched in the Far East for hundreds of years, although I don't know her very well, I also know that she is worth a mere billion dollars.
I won't take it seriously.
I understand this truth, and the Romanov family naturally understands it, so they simply use the trick to show weakness and let Sofia approach you in the name of flattery. I want to give you a feeling that the Orthodox Church is very weak now, and you can control them effortlessly with a few tricks.
the illusion.
Just like fishing, the Romanov family uses the entire Orthodox Church as bait to firmly hold you in this water area. In order to compete for this fat mouthful of bait, you must clear away all threats and obstacles around you, and repel the eager ones.
Competitors can enjoy this delicacy alone.
Now it seems that the Romanov family has achieved half the success. Maybe like me, they are also waiting for those people behind you to appear. If a young man in his twenties can have such a strong strength, then what about the family behind him?
The strength should be more terrifying.
The Romanov family is just waiting for you to take the bait completely. Once you use the power hidden behind you, they can sit back and watch the fight, preserve their strength, and wait to reap the benefits."
Albert spoke so confidently that it seemed like this was the truth.
According to common sense, his analysis is correct. A young man in his twenties has the power to confront the Saint. If you want to say that he has nothing behind him, I don't believe it.
But saying this to me is no different than farting. Can you imagine what I am capable of?
He didn’t answer the question, but the argument he just threw out made me very curious: “Your Holiness, I have a question, how did you know that I used one billion US dollars to blackmail the Orthodox Holy See?”
