In fact, I am very curious about where the bottom line of these sanctimonious believers lies.
I raised this condition firstly to test, and secondly to delay time, because there are too many things involved, and I couldn't make a decision in a short while.
"I said, as long as Mr. Gu agrees to cooperate, except for Lisa, you can choose other saints in the Holy See."
He still had the same tone without any emotion: "What I said was not clear enough?"
"I understand, but what if I just want her?"
I glanced at Lisa with my unserious eyes: "You think I care about women? Since you know me so well, you should know that there are many beautiful women around me, and I don't care about these saints at all.
What I care about is that your niece doesn't respect me. She just attacked me without saying a word, and even now she looks at me with provocative eyes. I can't swallow this tone.
What I didn’t say is that as long as you promise to leave her to me for a few days, I can cooperate with you when I have enough fun. If you don’t agree, then I’m sorry, no need to talk!”
"Oh, so this is what you care about."
Albert chuckled: "Go, Lisa, apologize to Mr. Gu."
This old guy is really powerful.
As soon as she heard her uncle's words, Lisa immediately put away her hostility, put down her posture and walked over to me to salute: "Mr. Gu, I apologize to you for the offense I just caused."
I looked at her with squinting eyes: "Is it enough to just apologize? If I hadn't had some skills just now, I would have been killed on the spot. How about just apologizing to smooth things over and send away the beggars?"
The woman in front of him said nothing.
Instead, Albert pulled out a piece of paper from the bedside table: "This check of 100 million US dollars is a meeting gift for Mr. Gu."
Seeing that I was standing still with a little doubt in my eyes, the old guy continued to explain: "This is a simple gift without any strings attached. I just want to make friends. Mr. Gu can accept it with confidence."
"You are so generous. How can you be so embarrassed?"
"Don't be sorry. This amount of money is a big amount for the Orthodox Church, but it is really insignificant for the Holy See. I think it is worth it to be able to use this money to make friends like Mr. Gu."
He handed the check forward, and Lisa helped to take it and put it in front of me: "Please accept our sincerity."
Good guy, this is so sincere.
I knew these people were rich, but I didn’t expect them to be so rich. They offered me $100 million to buy me a favor as soon as we met. What’s the difference between this and wasting money?
Really, even if I don’t take money seriously anymore, I will still be moved by a check with so many zeros in front of me.
After thinking for a moment, I reached for the check and said to Albert: "Let's talk first, even if I take the money, I won't do anything for you. If you want to regret it, it's too late."
"Haha, Mr. Gu is joking."
Albert's expression was particularly indifferent, but after I put the check in my pocket, he added: "So you should see now that compared to us, the power of the Orthodox Church is too shabby.
What can you do even if you control the Orthodox Church? You can only be the emperor in Eastern Europe and the Far East, but if you cooperate with us, you can gain status, glory and power almost all over the world, including rich material enjoyment and political status in Europe and America.
, it can’t be compared to just Eastern Europe.”
"Are you trying to use this check to lecture me?"
"No, Mr. Gu can still understand these simple truths even if I don't explain them."
With a particularly confident smile on his lips, Albert stood up with Lisa's help: "I am very patient. I will wait for your reply before the official war begins. You can come to me at any time after you make a decision. This
The manor will never be on guard against Mr. Gu.
Now, let's go out together, Bennett, I'm curious what kind of lunch he has prepared for us."
Albert walked to the bedroom door with his hands behind his back and pushed the door open.
In an instant, chants and prayers were heard in the corridor. The pope was like the emperor of the century, enjoying the supreme power and glory.
What was a little inconsistent was that I felt a faint murderous intention in these pious crowds. When I walked to the door, I found Bennett hiding in the crowd, staring at Albert with his beast-like eyes.
When Albert turned his eyes away, he returned to his respectful posture: "Grandpa, are you recovered?"
"Well, Mr. Gu has very strong abilities and very good spells. He helped me get rid of toxins and also helped me recuperate my body."
Stretching his hand around my shoulders, Albert shouted to everyone: "From today on, no matter what position Mr. Gu Yan stands on or what our relationship with the Orthodox Church is, he is my closest friend and also
The most loyal partner of the Holy See.
You must treat your guests as you would treat them, and you must not offend them, remember?"
As soon as the Pope opened his mouth, the bishops and saints below agreed one after another.
It's just that his actions made Bennett's eyes become colder, and he also looked at me with a bit of hostility.
Even Yevgeny was a little confused and looked at me a little strangely.
This old guy started to play tricks on alienation.
"Everyone from the Orthodox Church, please come. I have prepared a sumptuous banquet to thank you for your concern for me."
Albert stretched out his hand toward the other side of the corridor and said, "Mr. Gu, please."
"Well, please, Pope."
It should be said that these old foxes are not fuel-efficient lamps.
After being manipulated like this, Bennett must have a grudge in his heart. No matter how I explain it, he still has to weigh it.
Not to mention Yevgeny, the envoy of the Orthodox Holy See is as close as a brother to the Roman Pope. Who wouldn't doubt this?
But there is nothing to worry about. As long as Sophia is obedient, she can explain these things to her grandfather.
Anyway, I've seen all these little tricks of Albert's, and I'm thinking the same thing as Ming Jing, but conspiracy is the hardest thing to fight against, and I really can't find a good way to expose his tricks.
I had no choice but to take one step at a time. Like a gay man, surrounded by a group of believers, I walked arm in arm with Albert to the banquet hall and sat down side by side.
This banquet hall is not big, with only a dozen seats. The only people who can eat at the table are a few saints and cardinals with high enough status like Lyon.
When everyone was seated, Albert picked up the wine glass: "From today on, I will personally take over the negotiations with the Orthodox Church. Mr. Gu is a person who is very suitable to my taste. I believe that we will be able to end the years of disputes between the two parties.
